Those Voices Don’t Speak For The Rest Of Us

In October of 1964 Ronald Reagan gave a speech entitled “A Time For Choosing” and the words ring as true today as they did then. In fact, they mean even more today.

Some clever person took Reagan’s words and then used the words of the Democrats of today as proof that what Reagan said then has come to pass.

Watch this video and tell me he didn’t have it right.

In order for government to control the economy it must control the people…

And to control the people it must control health care.

As they continue to destroy us, will there be another revolution?

Waters Blames Problems On Bush

Is there nothing that Democrats will blame on George Bush? Obama inherited a bad economy (after Democrats were in charge of Congress) and it was Bush’s fault. Obama stubs his toe, Bush’s fault. Michelle Obama skips a period, Bush’s fault. Every time one turns around some Democrat (usually the cry baby Obama) is blaming George Bush for one problem or another.

Therefore, it should come as no surprise that Maxine Waters is blaming her ethical lapses on, wait for it…. George Bush.

Embattled Rep. Maxine Waters on Friday blamed the Bush administration for her ethics problems — saying she had to intervene with the Treasury Department on behalf of minority-owned banks seeking federal bailout funds — including one tied to her husband — because the Treasury Department wouldn’t schedule its own appointments. FOX News

There is no doubt that this Socialist broke the rules and did things she was not supposed to do. There is no doubt that she did something in her official capacity that benefited her and her husband financially. She probably did nothing different than many other politicians who have been entrenched in Congress for way too long but she got caught. As an aside, she and Charlie Rangel have been brought up on charges and face a public trial and both of them backed Hillary Clinton. I wonder if that played into this…

In any event the manipulation of facts in both cases is stunning. Rangel blames problems on Republicans who are out to get him and refuse to let him make a deal (as if he is discussing with Monty Hall) and he blames some lapses on his memory. He is an 80 year old man who might have forgotten. Here is a clue, then he does not belong in Congress.

As for Waters, she is blaming George Bush as if he called her up and told her to go ahead and help out the bank her husband was invested in. No, the person who actually helped her was Barney Frank who added wording to legislation to help out the bank.

That does not negate the fact that Waters did things she was not supposed to.

She broke the rules and she must pay. She is now forced to eat the very words she used against then Speaker Newt Gingrich and I love watching it happen. I hope she goes down in flames.

And if she does, well then I guess I am OK with Bush getting the credit for that part of it.

Maxine, you Socialist pig, no one twisted your arms and made you do bad things. You did them yourself so woman up and accept responsibility for what you did and quit blaming others.

And then do us all a favor and quit.

Have An Ethics Problem? Just Scream Racism

Charlie Rangel and Maxine Waters (this Congresswoman is about Socialism – her words, not mine) are in some hot water. Rangel has had 13 charges brought against him after a two year investigation and he faces the possibility of a public trial on his many ethical violations. Waters is under investigation and might have a public trial as well. Both trials would come just prior to the November elections and would hurt the already battered Democrats.

It is important to note that Rangel and Waters wanted the trials. Before we get into it any further, it is important to recognize this. They wanted the trials, they will get them, and now a bunch of people are crying.

You see, Waters and Rangel are black so this must be targeted against them because of their color. The evidence is that several other members have been or are under investigation and they are black. Yep, there is a concerted effort to go after black members of Congress. Never mind the illegal things they have done, they are being targeted not because of their illegal acts but because of their color.

Of course this ignores the fact that plenty of white members of Congress are under investigation or have been investigated. The major difference between them and Rangel and Waters is that they did not want a public trial so they settled the matters against them long before it got to that point. Remember, Rangel and Waters are at this stage in the game because they wanted to have the trials. The most recent white members who have been in trouble resigned from Congress. Rangel and Waters did not reach a settlement and they did not resign. They wanted a public trial.

I guess they figured it would never get that far and by screaming for a public trial they figured people would assume they must be innocent. Now that they are getting their wishes many Democrats are distancing themselves from them and some are asking for Rangel to resign with dignity (this would assume he actually had any).

Rangel is a pimp. He rides around in a big car paid for by taxpayers and he acts like a pimp in the hood. He is a slick mac daddy who thinks that the rules do not apply to him so I doubt he will resign (but the right deal might make it happen).

While he is getting pressure to resign many are looking at things and making claims that blacks in Congress are being treated differently.

There’s a “dual standard, one for most members and one for African-Americans,” said one member of the Congressional Black Caucus, speaking on condition of anonymity. Politico

Oh really? Those poor blacks have a different standard. What a crock of BS. The reality of the situation is that Rangel has been given every benefit of the doubt for the past two years. There is no doubt to sensible people that Rangel broke the law on a number of occasions. He can claim ignorance but he broke the law (what was that about ignorance of the law being no excuse) and he should pay for it regardless of his color. Rangel benefited from his skin color and his party affiliation. Representative Massa resigned quickly after allegations that he sexually harassed male staffers. He was probably worried about what would be made public if they investigated him. He resigned to avoid embarrassment.

Massa is a white Democrat. Is there any doubt that if a Republican (regardless of color) had the baggage that Rangel has or committed the acts that Waters allegedly has that Republican would be investigated quickly, would not get the benefit of the doubt and would be guilty in the court of media opinion? Rangel has had a two year ride while they tried every which way to find a way out. Rangel wanted a trial so they had no choice but to give him one.

Now they are talking a deal. I believe that it would take a Republican on the committee to agree. No Republican should (neither should the Democrats). Rangel wanted this public trial and they should make sure he gets it. Nancy Pelosi promised to drain the swamp so let us have this trial so we can see what is at the bottom of it when it is drained.

I am tired of hearing about some racist motive every time a black person gets caught with his hand in the cookie jar. If they committed a crime then it matters not what color they are and it should not matter what party they are from, they should be held accountable for what they did.

The funny thing about this is the quoted item above. There is a standard for Congress and a different one for blacks in Congress. How about there is a different standard for Congress than there is for every other person in this country?

This is absolutely true. If any other person in a private business did the things that these people have done and are doing then they would be in jail. Many people in the private sector are hauled before Congress to be grilled over things they have done that are no different than what members of Congress have done. Sweetheart deals, kickbacks, jobs for family members, affairs with staffers, and who knows how many other infractions Congress members commit only to be excused while they are pointing fingers at others.

To top it all off, Congress investigates itself and the investigation involves the rules for the House or the Senate. It does not matter if they committed a serious crime if it is not in that rule book or if the people in Congress investigating it deem it to be no offense.

You won’t find that kind of system in the real world.

No, none of this has to do with the color of the skin of the people involved. It has everything to do with entrenched politicians who feel they are above the law. It is about people who have been doing this so long they do not think they have to follow the rules.

It is about power corrupting and it is about the need for term limits.

But it damn sure is not about color.

Throw all the bums out in November and start fresh.

The Obama Media

The main stream media is a wing of the Democrat party. The MSM carries the water for Democrats and will do anything to push that point of view. The journalists have gone from reporting the news to being fixers who promote good stories and kill bad ones when a Democrat is involved but make sure any bad act (real, perceived, or invented) by a Republican is pushed and played on a continuous loop.

Rush Limbaugh has stated many times that the members of the liberal state run media get their marching orders and talking points from one place. Rush often plays a montage of audio clips from the various news shows and in the clips the reporters all use the same buzz words. If a few reporters use the word gravitas it would be a coincidence but when 10 or 15 (or more) use it then it is coordinated. Limbaugh has played clips on a number of occasions and each time some new word, phrase, or theme is repeated by the journalists.

They are all getting their marching orders from the Democrats.

We have also long suspected that the media members got together to coordinate stories and to figure ways to help the Democrats. We now know that the private journalist list (Journolist) to which many liberal members of the media belong, is a place where they get together and figure ways to help Democrats.

This was particularly true for Barack Obama. When Jeremiah Wright first emerged the impact on the Obama campaign could have been a disaster. Wright is an anti American racist preacher who spouts off stupidity about white people and this country and his rantings could have made things difficult for Obama because the only way he wins is with the white vote.

In steps the MSM via the Journolist. They decided on ways to steer the story away from Wright and to make it another issue. They decided to pick a conservative who opposed Obama and call him a racist. They actually coordinated using the race card to help Obama.

The people on the list also discussed ways to intimidate other news people who they felt were not following the script.

Rush was right. They do get their marching orders and they do sit around and think of ways to protect Obama.

In the good ole days we had investigative reporters. Now we have hacks who work for the Democrats posing as reporters.

And look what they have done to this country…

Biden; We’re Allies, They’re Nazis

The left spent eight years calling George Bush a Nazi and took every opportunity to compare him to Hitler. One would not know this now by the way they act each time they become upset over some slander against Obama. Nancy Pelosi said she had never heard rhetoric like this. Of course not.

So it comes as no surprise that Joe Biden compared the Republicans to Nazis. No, he never used the word Nazi, he just said that the GOP would be mounting a blitzkrieg and then said the Democrats were people’s allies.

Comparing GOP tactics to the tactics of the Nazis and then calling the Democrats allies (the good guys of WW II) is a subtle way of calling the GOP Nazis.

The words were part of a fund raising letter sent out as worried Democrats try anything to keep the tsunami from leveling them in November.

No Joe, we are not Nazis, we are the A Bomb and we are going to level you and end this class warfare you guys are engaged in.

I can see November from my porch…
