Filthy little Piggies, Doing Piggie Things, democrat
Apr 25, 2009 Political
The feeding at the public trough has commenced in earnest- if it ever really stopped, that is. I believe the feeding slowed just enough for the piggies to change places, but boy oh boy, these Democrats are really showing an appetite here, now that they know they will not be pulled back from the trough by any little thing like ethics, or a sense of moral outrage. Don’t anybody reach in, you’ll draw back a stump- piranha have better manners.
And it just keeps getting better and better, when you are a Democrat and you know the media’s got your back.
First, we have Jack Murtha, a lush who likes, for some reason, to slander our veterans with no evidence, and who pours over 100 million dollars to an airport in his district that services maybe twenty people in a day.
Yeah, Jackie- that’s real good use of our money- do you even have a brain? Twenty people a day? Oh- one of them may be you? Well, that’s OK then, because we wouldn’t want to keep you from all of those wonderful speaking engagements where you call your constituents “Rednecks and racists.” Your’e real classy.
And then, on the other side of the country, there is Senator Diane Feinstein, one of the five richest members of the Senate, a person who is not even on a banking committee, steering federal funding of more than 100 billion with a B dollars to the FDIC. OK so far, but then…
Enter her husband’s firm, which had a competitive bid in with the FDIC to handle foreclosed homes, where this firm could make from 8- 30% of the sale on these homes.
Guess who gets the contract- that’s right, Diane’s hubby, who adamantly maintains that he didn’t know a thing about this, despite the fact that he is the board Chairman.
Does ANYBODY really believe this? Perhaps in a bizarre X-Files moment, but in real life? Really, you mean to try and say that this husband and wife didn’t mention anything about all of this- it just came together like the random atoms liberals say was the beginning of life? Just a sort of financial Big Bang, right?
I have to say, if Richard Blum, Sen. Feinstein’s husband says he didn’t know this, and people believe him, these same people should also believe Jeffery Skilling, Bernie Madoff, Richard Stanford, and all the other heads of companies who maintain that they did not know what was happening. Or, for that matter, Scooter Libby, Dick Cheney, and anybody else who offers an explanation, because it will have become painfully evident that the explanation doesn’t have to make sense, it just has to be said, and, you know, we will believe ANYTHING.
It borders on science fiction to even try to say that all of this is coincidence- call a spade a spade, and admit that Sen. Feinstein and her hubby were stealing from the taxpayer, just as Jackie “our Army is murderin’ scum” Murtha has been stealing from the taxpayer for years. 100 million dollars for what is really an Air Park? It now has a state of the art radar facility that NOONE USES. That is correct- there is no one manning this multi million dollar radar facility. There it sits, grass growing around it, because Murtha just can’t stop spending our money.
And of course, there are many more, but it’s kind of like getting beaten- after awhile, you sort of get a little numb to all the body blows.
The Democrats are very good, some might even say world- class at stealing tax money. They have been doing that since Roosevelt. Of course, there are the bone heads, like William Jefferson (who was one last name away from feeling like a president), who thought a freezer was a fine place to store cash. (Why no, officer, I don’t think it’s odd, do you? Doesn’t everyone keep cash there? I thought the roaches would eat it if I left it out, and besides, it was going to be a present, yea, that’s it, that’s the ticket.)
Not to mention John Conyers, who has the gall to try and accuse Dick Cheney of crimes, while he himself is under investigation, or Charlie Rangel, who, in spite of being the Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, which oversees our tax code, can’t seem to figure out why he can’t exempt himself from the tax laws he oversees with regard to either his many rental properties (Charlie,it’s income, you have to declare it) to the cars he rents or owns.
Look, I know there are Republicans who do the same things- the media are all over them, but here’s the hypocrisy- the story about Sen, Feinstein was reported by several papers, almost all of whom had the same story, virtually word for word, like a press release, with no follow up. The story effectively has died, because when you have no one with the huevos to follow up, it’s like it never even happened.
Further, the original story actually began on Oct. 30, with the timeline horribly skewed,and nobody questioning why Richard Blum knew about the awarding of the contract on Nov. 26, while Sen. Feinstein said she didn’t know about it until Jan. 21? Don’t you think that maybe her husband, during one of the Senate’s MANY vacations, might have said,” Honey, guess what? My company has been awarded a 10 million dollar bid to sell foreclosed homes. How fortuitous, and lucky we must be. The stars must have aligned themselves just right for us, for surely this could not have been planned.” Uh Huh.
And some wonder why we don’t trust liberals.

The First One Hundred Days
Apr 25, 2009 Political
April 29 will mark Barama’s first one hundred days in office. Gee, it seems like yesterday- we were full of hope, gleaming, fresh- washed faces turned towards the Sainted One, seeking his blessings—– oh wait- wrong delusion, that was the liberal version: Let’s try again.
It seems like yesterday, when people ran screaming into the streets, yelling the socialists are coming, the socialists are coming! Oh crud, it’s no nightmare, they really are here, and they are busy embedding themselves like a lyme- diseased tick into the backside of America, sucking the life out of free enterprise.
It is theft of not just money, which is criminal, a la Jack Murtha and his little airport, but hope, since people who want to start a small business will be told how much money they will be permitted to make before onerous taxes kick in, and these small business people have to pay for the socialistic programs Barry proposes. Those in government will be exempt from these petty things, of course- those rules are for the little people.
The fact that the banks who want to give back the TARP funds are not being allowed to do so is an unbelievable interference by government in our free enterprise system. It’s breathtakingly Mafia- like in its stench of extortion.
I was talking to one of the bankers I do business with- after all, I keep what little money I still have there, I might as well see if my bank took the TARP.
She told me that yes, they were “asked” in a very blunt way that they would take the money, even though they did not need the money.
Since then, especially since the rules changed, and the govt. had changed their “Preferred”, or non- voting stock to “common”, or voting stock, this bank had been trying to give the money back, but the government had refused to take it, saying that they had voting power, and they intended to use it.
This is unwarranted and illegal interference in free enterprise and the commerce of the United States, but the Barama administration believes that if they control the banks, they will control the nation.
They need to watch out- overreaching, extending tyrannical claws into this much of American life, could very well backfire.
Remember the Czars? Not the wimps that Barry appoints, the real deal, from Russia. It seems these people thought they could control the people also. The Czars, or as it should be spelled, the Tsars, thought that if they kept a lid on their people, kept them under strict control, they would stay in power.
Well, they were overthrown- seems the people wanted change they could believe in- instead they got totalitarian control under a different name, Communism. And this is coming again, just slower. No bloody corpses, just CEOs thrown out of their jobs, with the “people’s” government sitting in their seats. A bloodless usurping of power.
Same basic result, just a kinder, gentler coup.
Now, not many Presidents like to be judged on their first one hundred days- JFK even inserted words in his inaugural speech, to the effect that results might not be seen in his administration’ s term- and he was right, but unfortunately not for the reasons he thought.
The reason that the hundred days thing came about is that it is catchy, in a newsbite sense, but also because the public begins to get a sense of the direction the President wants the country to go. The direction THIS one wants the country to go, is so so wrong for this country- it turns on its ear the way that virtually everything in this country has worked in the last two hundred and thirty two years. Now, that’s a life style change that is fairly entrenched, and one that will be hard to change. You need to ask yourself- is this business model a good thing to change? After all, it worked fine until the Democrats began to alter the rules, just to try for more votes.
The Democrats were too dumb to know that there are rules for a reason,and it’s not the “class warfare” they talk about every time there is an election. These rules are there to protect BOTH SIDES in a transaction, and these rules are not arbitrary, they have been thought out over time.
The Democrats couldn’t have done better if they had meant to, except that while they are not smart enough to have done this intentionally, they WERE quick to take advantage of the opening they created, jumping into this chasm of uncontrolled greed and loose rules.
” Oh, WE will regulate this mess (that we created, but ssshhhhh-), don’t you worry. Plus, if you vote in the next five minutes, (because we can’t do this all day), we will throw in FREE, a faux tax rebate (which we will take back by charging more in hidden taxes) that will be yours. Just pay for shipping, handling and we will be glad to scrape off all those troublesome liberties and freedoms that hang around, and take control of your life, because we are the only people smart enough to know what is good for you. We will regulate what you eat, how cool or warm you can be in your own house, what medical care you need (because WE know just how much pain you can stand), we will tell you what your ideal weight should be, and how much beer you can drink, keep you from smoking cigarettes, cause you to drive less ( don’t EVEN think about seeing the USA in a Chevrolet), and make you eat your broccoli.
Sounds ridiculous, huh? Unfortunately it is not that far off of the mark- some of what I wrote is already in the works- the cigarette tax is designed not only to bring in money, but punish those who choose to smoke. Many of these people are poor, but Barry doesn’t care. He gets his cigarettes free. He doesn’t have to pay for the thousands of gallons of fuel he spews everywhere when he gets the urge for a photo op.
Make fast food prohibitive in cost with a sin tax, and a restrictive business environment. This is how they roll- they want to force change in people’s habits, because they truly believe that they know better than we the people just what we the people need.
What absolute arrogance, and all in the first one hundred days.

Pennsylvania Racists
Oct 16, 2008 Political
John Murtha stated that his home base of western Pennsylvania is full of racists and that will reduce the number of votes that Barack Obama receives from that area. John Murtha, the guy who dishonored our Marines, is calling the people in his area a bunch of racists and that is why they will not vote for Obama. It could not possibly be because they disagree with his political viewpoints like his desire to take away the guns they so desperately cling to.
This is the tact the left has taken throughout the campaign. If you don’t vote for Obama then you are a racist and to them it is that plain and simple.
It does not matter that people might be opposed to Socialism. It does not matter that they might be opposed to “spreading the wealth” in the income redistribution plan Obama desires for America. It does not matter that they might be pro life and opposed to abortion, especially late term and partial birth abortions, something Obama is comfortable with. It does not even matter that they might be opposed to allowing infants to be left to die after an unsuccessful abortion, a position Obama holds regardless of how he tried to spin it.
No, all that matters is if one does not vote for Obama then racism must be involved.
Western Pennsylvania is full of good, hard working people who value life and freedom and they will decide who to vote for based upon the issues and not the color of a candidate’s skin.
In addition to not voting for Obama the people of Murtha’s district can do itself, the military, and our country a great favor by not voting for Murtha. He needs to go and he needs to go now. Let’s get rid of him and his unethical ways and replace him with a good and decent person.
Look for the race card to be played over and over for the next two plus weeks. Barack Obama believes that middle America clings to guns and religion because it has no understanding of the differences among the people of our nation. Perhaps it is time that Americans stopped clinging.
Stopped clinging, that is, to career politicians who have ruined our government.

Obama Laments Distraction but not His
Apr 21, 2008 Political
Barack Obama was discussing his contest with Hillary Clinton when he made reference to her claim about throwing the kitchen sink at him. Obama stated that Hillary had thrown the China and soon the buffet would be coming. Obama stated that the things Hillary is discussing are distractions and take them away from discussing the issues that people want to hear about.
I wonder how long it will be before someone takes him to task for making a reference to Hillary’s temper and who will make the connection of woman-China-kitchen (though Hillary opened it up with the sink reference). Maybe that was why Obama mentioned (during the debate) Hillary and her famous “baking cookies” remark years ago. Obama thinks this woman belongs in a kitchen.
Amazingly (or maybe not) Obama is lamenting over the distractions caused by the Clinton campaign but his campaign is just as guilty. His campaign held a conference call to discuss the Bosnia sniper lie and it has taken as many opportunities to go after Hillary and ignore policy as her campaign has. This is just another case of the kettle and pot scenario or as Jake Trapper ponders:
Is Clinton’s Bosnia-sniper-fire story not a “distraction,” while Rezko, Wright, Ayers, Bitter-gate, and the flag pin are “distractions”?
In the article about this Obama stated he was from Chicago so he knows politics is rough business and he assures us he can handle it. Ignoring the stuttering and stammering he did in the last debate, when he was handling it, Obama has given us more insight. He is from Chicago and that place has a history of having the dirtiest and unethical politics around. There is little that goes on there that is legal and the Democrats there continue in the tradition of past criminal politicians. Obama learned politics in Chicago so it is not hard to imagine he knows how to skirt the law with the best of them. Think Rezko.
Obama is just as guilty as Clinton with regard to distractions. They have both engaged in the politics of personal destruction and have shied away from the issues. People claim Obama discusses issues but he only talks of hope and change with little substance or information as to how he will change things. He hopes you will not notice and many have not.
The Democrats are tearing each other apart. She and her veiled shots at his race and he at her sex. Their supporters are mean and nasty and the slightest criticism of either brings out the rabid supporters and their attacks.
John McCain is the one who benefits from the dysfunctional Democratic Party and he must be loving it. As an aside, Jack Murtha (American traitor) recently stated that John McCain was too old to be president (did know there was an upper age limit in the Constitution) and there was little criticism of his remarks by the Democratic establishment.
I wonder how nutty the Democrats would become (nuttier?) if a prominent Republican claimed Obama was too young to be president?
Just a thought for this Monday morning…

The Democrats Will Be Transparent, Sure They Will
Oct 4, 2007 Uncategorized
Transparent, that was the claim they made when they pandered for the votes of Americans. They would be open and honest and yet, they continue to make back room deals with people like Abscam Murtha leading the charge to spend your hard earned money. Here is an interesting video that discusses the “earmarks” that this transparent Congress has requested. I just want to know if it is so transparent, how come no one is aware? I also want to know if the Muslim Congressman, Keith Ellison, is allowed to participate in the pork fest.
They are corrupt and they need to go. Having said that, Republicans were not very good at fiscal responsibility either. We need people in office who will do what is right. Let’s replace them all and start over.
