Our Budget Explained And Other Tid Bits
Aug 4, 2011 Political
This video explains what is happening in DC and how they play games with our budget in order to keep spending. It makes it quite simple for those among us who think that the government has an unending supply of money or that the money comes from Obama’s “stash.” Though to be quite honest Congress has given Obama a stash of money called the stimulus and it was used to pay off those to whom he owed favors…
When you are done watching that it should be obvious that the recent vote to increase the debt did not do us any good. Since this has been going on for about 100 years it should also come as no shock that they will not fix it and they will not work to fix it. They will continue to use budget gimmicks and accounting tricks to hide the problem until it bites us in the rear end.
At that time we will not be able to fix things and the social programs that liberals love to spend on will go away. Once we can no longer afford them and once we can no longer borrow to pay for them they will have to go away. It is that simple and there will be a lot of unhappy people who have been clueless and do not see it coming. Whether we default or not is a matter of whether we can pay our creditors. As long as we can pay them we are not in default but we will end up eliminating a lot of social programs that we can no longer afford because these morons and their enablers in the hands out crowd did nothing to rein in spending.
Thanks to what they did this week our borrowing immediately surpassed 100% of GDP. That is a recipe for disaster.
Liberals talk about the need to raise the debt ceiling and continue to borrow as a matter of national security. Al Franken and the other morons say that the GOP stance was an invitation to terrorists but the reality is that these people are inviting our enemies in the door. If China decided to cash in what we owe them and demand payment we would be in serious trouble and they could bankrupt us. We would default on that debt and we would have real issues that make the last Obama invented crisis look like a carnival. China will continue to take on more of our debt until the right time for it to pounce on us by demanding payment.
Then we will see how the politicians betrayed us and Franken can stand at the door of the Capitol and hold the welcome sign.
The market will be unsettled through all this and we are either in or heading for a second (or double dip) recession. Some like to claim that this claim has been made so much that if it happens it would be a see I told you so (like predicting rain every day, eventually you would be right) but I said last year that we would hit a double dip in the latter part of this year. It was not a monthly or daily prediction, it was a prediction of what would happen later in 2012 and it looks like we are heading in that direction. The reason for this is the Obama policies.
They are job and economy killers. It is that simple because the policies of Obama have been tried by other big government politicians in the past and they have failed. The New Deal did not fix things (it made them worse) and WW II was the only thing that pulled us out of the Depression. The New Deal helped to add to our present day miseries because it created a class of people dependent on government (this was by design) and LBJ completed this by enslaving minorities to government.
All at a cost to the taxpayers. All at a cost to our national security and all at the eventual risk of our sovereignty.
I do think though, that we can help with some of the budget. They should pass a law that all of the millionaires and billionaires (the real ones not the phony definition Obama uses to sock the middle class) who support Obama with money or by attending his birthday party should be taxed at 100%. Congress should pass a law that those millionaires and billionaires and only those should be required to turn in 100% of their income to pay off the debt.
They claim they want to pay more and they are rich enough. They can afford it and it is their patriotic duty. Yes, I like it. Only the Obama supporting rich will be taxed at 100%.
This will solve our problems and how could any liberal object, the liberal rich need to pay their fair share.
It is for the children…
UPDATE: Look who endorsed Obama for reelection.
Cave Canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

Can’t We All Just Get Along?
Jan 12, 2011 Political
So now that more evidence has come out that the AZ shooter was a few beers short of a six-pack, and wasn’t actually commanded or influenced by talk radio, Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh, Bush, Obama, Clinton, Bernie Sanders, Hot Air, Huffington Post, OR Jesus Christ himself, some are starting to calm down (a little). The recent trends I’m seeing are now that we need to “calm the rhetoric” and do more to “get along.”
Know what? I’d like to. Seriously, I really would. But I’m not allowed to.
You see, when people say things like, “Oh, we just need to agree to disagree” and the like, that’s not good enough — especially in politics. We can talk about “differing opinions” all we like — and I have no problem with opinions. What makes today’s politics different is force: today’s government wants to use force to make me do things.
That’s not a “difference of opinion.” That’s government sending men with guns to make me do things I don’t want to do.
For example, Washington, DC is considering killing and jailing people who do not shovel their sidewalks within 8 hours of the end of a snow event. Now, when I oppose that, that’s not a “difference of opinion.” That’s supporters of that law saying, “If you don’t agree with me, I will send men to kill you.” You cannot talk about opinions, when one side is willing to use force against peaceful people who are not harming anyone.
So talk about rhetoric and opinions and divisiveness all you want — but when you use government force to get your way, or when you support government using force to get your way, don’t be surprised when others use force to defend themselves. And of course, those who defend themselves against government force will be called terrorists.

Big Sis And The TSA Send The Stormtroopers
Dec 24, 2010 Political
A pilot is in hot water for taking video of lax airport security and posting it on You Tube. The pilot was one of those blessed by the TSA to carry a firearm in the cockpit and he was upset that air crews have to go through security as a matter of safety when there are weapons like axes in the cockpit (and in his case, a federally issued firearm). He also pointed out that while flight crews are being checked in the name of security ground personnel who work at airports have unfettered access to aircraft through unmanned doors that require an electronic badge to access.
After the unnamed pilot posted the video he got a visit from stormtroopers sent by the TSA. The pilot is being investigated for exposing the security problems. The stormtroopers took his federally issued weapon (which they are entitled to do) but then confiscated his STATE issued permit to carry a weapon. What right does the federal government have to confiscate his conceal carry permit when he broke no weapons laws?
This is nothing more than Big Sis and her Gestapo trying to send message to others who would expose the failings of the TSA and DHS.
The stormtroopers were sent to tell everyone else that they should think twice about exposing the sham that hides under the name of airport security.
You will be slapped and slapped hard by the Gestapo.
And all because this guy rightly points out that he is required to go through security when they let him carry a weapon on the plane and there is a huge ax in the cockpit that would cause a lot more damage than a box cutter. He also points out that while the people who will be on the plane and flying it are subject to intense scrutiny a bunch of other folks have unfettered access.
He is absolutely right but he dared to say it and now the Gestapo will make him pay.
We are in a downward spiral.
Can someone tell me why this guy is in trouble for exposing these flaws that are secret but no one gets in trouble for exposing our national secrets?
Big Sis and her Gestapo need to go.

Terrorism
Nov 24, 2010 Political
So, what is terrorism? How about we check old Webster’s:
the systematic use of terror especially as a means of coercion
Hmm. Okay, how about “terror”:
: 1 a state of intense fear
2 a : one that inspires fear : scourge b : a frightening aspect c : a cause of anxiety : worry d : an appalling person or thing; especially : brat
3: reign of terror
4: violent or destructive acts (as bombing) committed by groups in order to intimidate a population or government into granting their demands
So, logically, a terrorist is one who uses terror to coerce people into doing things they don’t want to do, right?

In Obama’s World He Might Actually Be Not Guilty
Jan 10, 2010 Political
The young man the Lame Stream Media calls an “alleged” bomber has pleaded “not guilty” to the charges against him. How he can be “alleged” is beyond me when people saw him try to detonate the underwear bomb and he ended up with his chestnuts roasting on an open fire on Christmas Day.
He might actually be not guilty in the world of Obama. After all, when Obama was making one of his pathetic addresses aimed at deflecting blame away from him (the buck “ultimately” stops at him but not until it hits a lot of others along the way) he said:
“We know that he traveled to Yemen, a country grappling with crushing poverty and deadly insurgencies. It appears that he joined an affiliate of al Qaeda, and that this group, al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, trained him, equipped him with those explosives and directed him to attack that plane headed for America.” ABC
This was said as if poverty had anything to do with this and to partially justify the behavior. The “alleged” bomber came from a wealthy family. Poverty had nothing to do with his motivation, a motivation we might never know because his act is being treated like a crime rather than an act of war.
In Obama’s world view through the community organizer lens this guy just needed to be taken care of and nurtured. It would do us well to remember that the terrorists who recruited the Fruit of the Boom bomber are organizing a community as well.
Keep in mind that the Obama minded people believe that Gitmo is the reason behind these kinds of attacks and that closing the facility will reduce terrorism recruitment. None of these intellectual midgets seems to be able to explain how all the terrorists were recruited before we ever held anyone at Gitmo.
Interestingly, the terrorists held at Gitmo would rather stay there because they are being held under the rules of the Geneva Convention. They know that if they are moved to a federal prison they will be under near lock down conditions. According to one of the attornys; “As far as our clients are concerned, it’s probably preferable for them to remain at Guantánamo,” he [Falkoff] says.
Mark Hemingway of the Washington Examiner also notes:
“The strident left-wing critiques of the Guantanamo facility have all centered around the fact that detainees there are horribly mistreated and conditions unbearable. But when push comes to shove, it would seem concerns about Guantanamo are overblown, and the prisoners there know that being held under the Geneva conventions outside the U.S. is much preferable to a maximum security prison in the U.S.”
So the kid from the wealthy family “allegedly” tried to set of a bomb aboard a US airliner because of poverty and Gitmo, the prison Obama said he would shut down in a year (won’t happen), is the place where the terrorists would rather stay if they can’t go home.
Interesting. I wonder if they can sue Obama for torture because he forced them to leave the warm, tropical place where they have some freedom to move about for a freezing cold prison where they will not have so much mobility…
All of this is coming at a time when Obama is overwhelmed by failures. The terrorist got on a plane, CIA agents get blown up by an “alleged” informant, his administration gives conflicting information, and the administration pushes the idea that intelligence people allowed the bomber to get on the plane because they do not like Obama.
Sounds bad. It is but not as bad as Obama having to put in place the things Bush already had in place and that were working. These are the things Obama weakened when he took office:
In a revealing admission, President Barack Obama said today he was directing U.S. intelligence agencies to begin to do something many had assumed they were already doing: “[A]ssigning specific responsibility for investigating all leads on high priority threats so that these leads are pursued and acted upon aggressively.”
“That is a shock because we had such a follow-up system when I was there,” said Richard Clarke, the White House counter-terrorism director in the Clinton and Bush administrations. Clarke, who worked on the Obama transition team, is now an ABC News consultant. Ace of Spades
I have been told by the liberals that it will take Obama a while to clean up the mess left by George Bush. That is all well and good because the mess is defined by one’s politics and, quite frankly, Bush left some messes. However, it is important to note that the office of the president is a continuous one and no person who holds that office ties everything up neatly before leaving. It is supposed to carry over with a smooth transition.
I also doubt Obama will clean up any messes by discarding policies simply because they were ones Bush instituted. Ace points out nicely how Obama pulled back from what we were doing only to see his actions nearly result in the death of hundreds of people, in the air and on the ground. Instead of keeping things that worked in place Obama removed them. He allowed his ego and liberal belief that open fists mean people play nice to get in the way.
In his zeal to show he is on top of things Obama released a declassified report showing how the Fruit of the Boom bomber was able to board the airplane. Basically, Obama told us he was on top of things and that we would stop this from happening again by publishing the instruction manual on doing it. [Big Dog Salute: Just One Minute]
Heck of a job Barry.
At least Barry told us this in a clear, concise manner. He didn’t go speaking negro on us.
