French Kiss…Of Death
May 7, 2012 Political
The French surrendered again as they voted a Socialist into the presidency. The French people ousted Mr. Sarkozy and replaced him with Francois Hollande, the first Socialist to rule the country in 17 years.
Nearly two decades ago François Mitterrand, a Socialist, ruled France and destroyed the economy with high taxes and increased spending (like American Democrats). Then, after the defecation hit the bladed cooling device, the people of France blamed capitalism for its woes.
Yes, those crafty French allowed a Socialist to tax and spend them into oblivion and then, after the damage was done, blamed capitalism.
Hmm, this sounds very familiar. I seem to remember hearing this somewhere else. Oh yeah, I got it. The American left has done the same thing. After decades of Democrat control and then control of moderate Republicans who went along with tax and spend policies the left now blames the inevitable disintegration on, get this, capitalism.
If we had true capitalism with little or no government involvement, then our country would be in great economic shape.
But in true liberal/progressive/Socialist fashion the left causes a huge problem and then blames it on someone or something else (Obama blames Bush for everything).
So the new French president, Hollande, hates capitalism, rich people, and freedom. He wants to tax the rich at 75% (imagine three quarters of what you earn going to government) so he can create more government jobs. Yep, again it sounds like the Obama plan.
And people say Obama is not a Socialist.
Obama has invited Hollande to visit the White House no doubt to discuss Socialist strategies.
The rich in France, meanwhile, are looking for places to hide themselves and their money to keep it out of the hands of Hollande. Imagine that, the rich are trying to keep their property from being confiscated by the government. Seems this is something else I have seen in America as wealthy Americans leave high tax states for low or no tax states. Only in France the rich are looking to leave the country, a plan that will likely hit America’s wealthy (whose businesses have already left our shores) should Obama succeed in taxing the hell out of them.
The French people voted for a crafty man who promised everything and he won. It is eerily similar to the American election in 2008 except Hollande proudly announced he is a Socialist while Obama denies being Socialist though his deeds tell another story.
Hollande will drive the French and what is left of their economy, which was already damaged by a Socialist, into the ground and will keep digging. France will be another Greece before long and America is not too terribly far behind.
You get the government you deserve and France deserves everything it is about to get. They think there will be no more (or at least diminished) austerity but eventually that will be the only card left in the deck.
France will soon be walking around with hat in hand begging other nations to bail it out and to pay for its stupidity. Like Greece (and American welfare recipients/liberals/occupy morons) France will expect to be taken care of.
Yes, the election of Hollande is a French kiss.
Of death…
Cave canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

Corzine Did Not Pay The Piper
Dec 16, 2011 Political
Goodfellow Jon Corzine has stolen and wasted the money of a lot of people. Then, after he was no longer Governor of New Jersey, he lost the money of a lot of other people. Corzine’s MF Global went belly up and there is a lot of money that can’t be accounted for. Billions of dollars in people’s money vanished in thin air faster than an Obama grant to a green energy company.
Corzine was grilled on Capitol Hill and some of that grilling came from fellow Democrats. Since it is not unusual for large sums of money to disappear when a Democrat is involved one must assume that the grilling was because it is an election year and Democrats need to play their election year game of pretending to look out for people.
However, it appears as if one Democrat, Senator Debbie Stabenow of Michigan, was relentless for another reason. Corzine did not donate money to her reelection campaign even though she called several times a week asking for donations.
The Democratic senator who savaged Jon Corzine at a high-profile Capitol Hill hearing this week had another reason to go hard on her former colleague — she recently pressed him for campaign contributions but didn’t get any.
“She would literally call once every two or three weeks,” one Corzine intimate said of Sen. Debbie Stabenow (DMich.). New York Post
Now we know why she was so relentless. She did not get her money. The Wiseguy Corzine did not pay tribute to his former colleague so she took him to task.
There is no doubt that Corzine should be in jail with others who have bilked people out of money.
And when he goes there are 535 members of the US Congress who should join him. That number would go way up if we could get those who no longer serve in Congress but are just as guilty of bilking us out of our money.
Perhaps we should set the people in Gitmo free in some country in the Middle East and send all the Congress critters, past and present, there so taxpayers could have a respite from the daily crimes perpetrated on them.
Yeah, that’s the ticket.
And then Stabenow and Corzine would have lots of alone time to discuss things.
Cave canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

Pelosi Is Out Of Touch With Reality
Oct 30, 2011 Political
Obamacare is an anchor around the necks of Americans and it will cost a fortune. Not only will it cost a fortune but not all people will be insured and government officials will be involved in our health. Our care will be based on what some bean counter decides and, contrary to Obama’s claim, we won’t be able to keep our doctors if we like them.
Nancy Pelosi, who once said we had to pass the bill to see what was in it (and we are finding more and more problems), is defending the 1800 or so waivers granted by the Obama administration. Yes, waivers have been granted so that some businesses do not have to participate in Obamacare. The health care solution, the panacea, is so great that companies have requested and been granted waivers from participating. The funny thing is that unions and other groups that pushed for this monstrosity to be rammed down our throats have applied for and received waivers. It is good enough for us but not for them.
Pelosi defended the waivers by claiming that they were granted to very small businesses and that the waivers would have a very small impact on our economy. If Obamacare is so great, why did they need waivers to begin with?
And if it is so great why did all the groups that supported it line up to apply for waivers before the ink was dry on the newly signed law.
And why is Pelosi defending the waivers when she and all her cohorts said it was the fix we needed?
And finally, why did McDonalds get a waiver when it is one of the largest businesses in America?
Surely that company does not qualify as very, very small and certainly it has a large impact on our economy.
This is election year history rewriting. It is time for Pelosi and her ilk to get out and tell you what you should believe because they say so.
Who will you believe, a known liar like Pelosi (and most politicians) or your own “lying” eyes?
Occupy the White House in 2012.
Cave canem!

Democrats Continue With The Race Card
May 19, 2011 Political
To Democrats, Republicans are racists. There is no getting around it because the left will invent racism where it does not exist or redefine it in order to make the claim. Oppose Barack Obama’s policies, racist. Oppose illegal aliens entering our country, racist (despite the fact that a person’s nationality is NOT a race). Note to liberals, Hispanic is not a race and neither is Islamic or Muslim (though some are listed as “race” on forms, they are not races).
The Democrats make these claims despite the fact that it has been Republicans who have been on the side of equal and civil rights. Republicans ended slavery, introduced civil rights legislation, and were the driving force in passing the Civil Rights Act. All Democrats have done is treat minorities as second class citizens by using affirmative action and welfare as tools to control people. The very nature of affirmative action is that the minority is not capable of achieving on his own and requires his betters to help him. It is racism and it comes from the left.
Democrats have to invent the boogeyman of racism in order to fire up the base, a base so use to hearing about racism that it too sees race in every issue. Donna Brazile, a Democrat, has an article out in USA Today discussing the GOP 2012 Game Plan as one of disenfranchisement. She goes on to explain that voter fraud laws and laws requiring ID to vote are discriminatory to minorities, cost lots of money, and are implemented in battleground states, like Ohio, where there is no history of voter fraud. Funny, when Democrats lose in Ohio, they scream voter fraud.
Another funny thing is that Democrats will work extra hard to disenfranchise the votes coming in from the military. I do not recall Brazile writing a column about the continuous disenfranchisement of military members by politicians on the left. The left has, year after year, found ways to discount tens of thousands of votes from the people serving in our military. And guess what, all those folks have a valid ID card.
There are many stories about voter fraud in places like Ohio despite the claims to the contrary.
[note]In Ohio a man from Illinois is taken to vote.
Voting irregularities in Florida and Ohio[/note]
There are heavily Democrat areas where 125% of the population voted in the last election. There are recounts where hundreds of votes for Democrats miraculously appear in order to change the vote and guarantee the win. Democrats know how to cheat and they do it very well. ACORN was set up to help them with that endeavor. The fraud there should be enough to demonstrate the need for ID and other measures.
But no, to Brazile it is a matter of racism. The poor people will not be able to vote because they can’t get an ID card. So tell me, how do these people get welfare? You need to prove who you are in order to get welfare so how do they do that?
While one could argue if voting is an individual right (the Constitution does not list it as an explicit right, only reasons you can’t be denied the “right to vote”). In other words, a state could change the way people are elected and eliminate a vote. The federal government could do that. However, assuming we have a “right” to vote why is it that an ID is not required to exercise that right?
We have an absolute right to keep and bear arms and yet many states infringe on that right. There is no state where one can buy a gun without showing an ID. So tell me, if I have to show an ID to buy a gun why does a person not have to show an ID to vote?
We have to show identification to open a bank account, sign our kids up for sports or school, get a driver’s license, enter a federal or state government building, get on an airplane, buy alcohol or tobacco and when requested by a police officer.
So tell me, why is voting any different? What makes it so special that people should not have to show an ID to do it?
And don’t bother telling me how people can’t afford an ID. I am tired of that argument. If you want to vote then you can get an ID (in the unlikely event you do not have one). You can give up smokes for a few days and pay for an ID. And NO, the government should not provide one to you for free. If I want to buy a gun but do not have an ID you can bet the government will NOT provide one for me and buying a gun, unlike voting, is a clearly enumerated right in our Constitution.
To put it another way, if you are unable to get an ID you should not be allowed to vote.
Yes, Brazile is worried about the 21 million Americans of voting age who do not have an ID and therefore will not be able to vote. Since one is required to show an ID to get a job it would appear that there are bigger concerns than voting here. Perhaps these disenfranchised Democrats should get a photo ID so they can GET A JOB.
Brazile might be right about this affecting Democrats more than Republicans. Getting an ID is a matter of personal responsibility and Democrats lack that attribute.
However, for those still concerned that folks won’t get an ID just tell them they need it for their gubmint check and they will jump right up and get it.
One last thing, Brazile is concerned that the laws reducing the number of days of early voting and removing the ability to change one’s address on Election Day will affect people. What kind of drugs does she take? A change of address does not sneak up on people and neither does Election Day. People are able to address this prior to Election Day. Anyone who waits until Election Day to deal with this is demonstrating a lack of personal responsibility. As for early voting, the longer the polls are open the more opportunity there is for fraud.
I will offer this to Ms. Brazile. Our game plan is not to keep voters home. It is to ensure that only those who are eligible to vote do so and that they only do it once (and in the correct polling place). PERIOD. My game plan would be to require a birth certificate to register to vote and an ID to actually vote. I needed that to join the Army so there should be no complaints.
I also add that the penalty for fraudulent voting (and voter intimidation, hear that Eric Holder) should be mandatory 10 years in jail with no parole and no probation. If you vote in Florida and also in New York and get caught then you should go to jail for 10 years with no exception. PERIOD.
We need to stop pussy footing around with people and hold them responsible.
And we need people like Donna Brazile to crawl back under her rock and quit with the cries of racism and claims of disenfranchisement. Her party is the guilty party and the story could very easily have been written, DEMs game plan for 2012. Disenfranchise the military like they do every election.
But what would America be without the race baiters to stir up phony claims of racism?
It would be a better place where minorities were not held captive on the left’s plantation…
Cave Canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

Hey Harlem, You Had Your Chance
Nov 18, 2010 Political
I am constantly amazed at how dense some people can be. Take for instance, the people of Harlem in New York. Now that Charlie Rangel has been convicted of 11 ethics violations many of the Harlem folks say he should resign (though some, amazingly, still support him).
The news of Rangel’s corruption is not a recent thing. He has been under investigation for over two years and it was obvious to most everyone that he was guilty. How does one explain away using official stationary and postage to mail out fund raising material? That is against the law. Even if all the other allegations were on shaky ground, this one had hard evidence.
Evidently, so did the others as he was found guilty on 11 of 13. One was dismissed and the other was combined with one of the other allegations (so he was guilty on 12 of 13 original charges).
So the question is, why are all these folks from Harlem now calling for Charlie to step down? THEY JUST REELECTED HIM.
The people of Harlem had the chance to get rid of Rangel on their own and they chose to put him back in office.
And herein lies the issue. I am willing to bet that most of the people who voted for Rangel probably had no idea that he was under investigation. They probably just discovered the issue when the news broke that he had been convicted. The people of his district probably just vote for the Democrat they have elected in the past because he brings home the bacon and he must be a great guy.
It is people like these who keep putting career criminal politicians back in office.
So you folks have no real reason to ask him to resign. You just gave him the job again for two more years.
Maybe you can get better educated and start paying attention from now on.
Cave Canem!
Never surrender, never submit.
