Obama: "Stuff It!"
Iranian “President” Ahmadinijerk is demanding an apology from America for “interfering” in their presidential election. You know, the one where the Mullahs “fixed it” so he would “win in a landslide? The one where 120% of the population voted? The one where they promised to recount “some” of the votes (the ones that WERE for Ahmadjinijerk, of course)? The one that was protested by thousands of citizens, some of whom they shot and killed? That one. The one Obama has been “going out of his way to AVOID interfering in. Obama just answered his demand. He said, “stuff it, jerk!” Not in those words, but what he said had that meaning. The wimp stands up! I’m surprised. I expected him to apologize for something we never did, as he has been doing in speeches given all over the world. I guess the difference here is, he would be apologizing for something HE is supposed to have done. He’s not hesitant to apologize for something somebody ELSE has done, but when it’s something HE is supposed to have done, forget it. (Just common sense)
So What else is New?
The liberals have been wrong on most issues, and thus have unnecessarily screwed up this country. They’re “wrong again” about global warming (they now call it "climate change," since the globe is NOT "warming" and hasn't been since 2000), and their “solutions” are wrong, too. “Global warming alarmists are incessantly preaching the virtues of mass transit and condemning as evil the cars most of us get around in. Turns out their paradigm is a bit flawed. Initially, these groups wanted cars off the roads and replaced with mass transit under the pretense that they emitted too much pollution. Now the environmentalists and their allied policymakers are saying that automobile use should be limited because their engines discharge carbon dioxide [I guess we should also ban all humans, as well, for the same reason. –RT]. This, according to the eco-faith, is causing global warming, even though there's no scientific evidence, just an assumption based on "computer models", to back up the claim. Herding large numbers of commuters into buses and trains has been a goal of environmentalist groups for some time. They tend not to like cars because cars represent freedom and independence from central planners. They especially loathe SUVs because they see them as symbols of crass wealth and excessive consumption.” But unfortunately, the lack of proof or THEIR assumptions is not all there is: there is also proof that the OPPOSITE is true, but they suppress that. Their “Pope,” AlGore, is “living high on the hog” because so many people “buy” this garbage while their “solutions” are increasing basic living costs for ALL of us. (IBD Editorials)
Ignoring the Obvious
Many people actively ignore what Obama is doing to this country. They REFUSE to read blogs such as mine; they REFUSE to listen to Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, or Sean Hannity (who speak common sense), believing the crap liberals put out about them in the liberal media, to which they cannot avoid listening. Meanwhile, the liberal media is kvetching about the one or two SMALL “beachheads” conservatives have made in the media, such as Fox News and a couple of “less-than-liberal” newspapers that somehow cling to life (while their readership is GROWING at the same time it is DWINDLING for the liberal outlets). They “see the handwriting on the wall,” their destruction,” and cry about it (trying to legislate censorship), while refusing to admit the reasons why: Americans are tired of reading and hearing their liberal crap, and are “voting with their feet.” They won’t be back, even if they’re successful in “shutting up” their “less-than-liberal” competition. Hopefully, it is in time, and the liberal media will die, while leaving that ”small beachhead” intact. (Just common sense)

I Won't Be Here
I may not get to post much this week. My brother died last Monday, making me the (unwilling) patriarch of the Thomas family. I will be obligated first with trying to get the money to go home and help bury him, then with what happens there. I hope I make it. Bob and my younger brother Rick are responsible for what I'm doing today, since they were the ones who insisted I read "Atlas Shrugged," the book that opened my eyes ans allowed me to "read between the lines" in the lying national press. I think he may be "haranguing" God to do something about Obama and his scams and schemes.
GOP Votes Passed "Cap & Trade"
The vote totals were 219 for, 212 against. Eight Republicans voted FOR the bill. The difference was 7; which means it was the Republican votes which put it “over the top. So without the Republican votes in FAVOR of the bill, it would not have passed. I guess those Republicans are the ones most easily fooled, because they ARE fools. This bill, if it becomes law, will pout a LOT of money in the pockets of many of Obama’s friends, and therefore into the pockets also of Obama AND his friends, while taking a lot of money OUT of OUR pockets. Why the hell do we have TWO parties if they vote the same? Don’t they know we’re going to hold them responsible for this vote in the next election? (Just common sense)
They're Forgetting Something
A “Democrat spokesman” on Fox (you know, that RIGHT-wing bastion) is FINALLY talking about the GOVERNMENT forcing lenders to loan money to deadbeats as the DIRECT CAUSE of our current financial problems. But he conveniently forgot (as usual) to mention that it was a DEMOCRAT administration (Jimmy Carter) that passed the original law (Citizen’s Reinvestment Act of 1976), another Democrat administration that strengthened it (Clinton) and two Democrat presidents that signed the laws. Without saying so, he intimated that it was the REPUBLICANS who were at fault. But then, this particular “Democrat spokesman” is good at that. (Just common sense)
Illegal Parking!
In your own driveway! In Toledo, Ohio, they CAN ticket you for parking in your own driveway, based not on a law or even a REGULATION, but on a simple MEMO. Where the hell they get the idea they have the power to ticket somebody for parking on their own property is beyond me. I guess it’s a good thing I don’t live in Toledo (although I used to). I’ll lay odds the “powers that be” in Toledo are liberal Democrats. That’s where all the stupid things are done (where liberals "rule"). I looked all over the Toledo web site, but NOWHERE did they reveal hizzonor's political affiliation. Are they afraid for anybody to know it? Sounds a LOT like a Democrat to me. (Fox Toledo)
"Atlas Shrugged" Flourishing
“ATLAS SHRUGGED” FLOURISHING: Why now, fifty years after she wrote it? Maybe it’s because more and more people are seeing “the wisdom of her words” in a world where the president is talking about ”bulldozing blighted areas” to “make us ‘shrink’ in size to have a chance to "rest" and is making other socialistic moves apace, while spending TRILLIONS of dollars we don’t have. Maybe they see a world in which the “forced altruists” are “ruling us” through deception and swindles and they see similarities with Ayn Rand’s “Atlas Shrugged” world. I certainly do. Meanwhile liberals put Rush Limbaugh AND Ayn Rand down in a desperate attempt to keep us from recognizing their scams. Rush Limbaugh speaks COMMON SENSE, which is what makes them “wet their pants.” So does Sarah Palin, which is why they’re trying so hard to discredit her so she can’t “beat them at their own game” in 2012. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, go buy a copy of “Atlas Shrugged,” which is still available at book stores, though I’ve had a problem finding USED copies because people don’t get rid of it after reading it.

"Free" Health Care?
Sure. But it’s not free. It might be “free” to the user if the government is “paying” for it. But it’s NOT “free." SOMEBODY has to pay for it, and if it’s the GOVERNMENT, it’s YOU. Glenn Beck was asked if HE was in favor of “free health care,” and he answered “yes.” IF it WAS “free.” His answer: “Yes. Yes, if we could somehow or another come up with a magic healthcare bean that sprouted doctors, sprays and surgical procedures for free, who's not there? Of course I'm there. I don't mean free when you go to the doctor's office. I mean no cost TO the doctor's office and no cost via taxes, completely free. Healthcare, growing on a magic healthcare beanstalk. So of what possible value is it to even ask that question? Don't you think we should start questioning like the 30% that said no to absolutely free healthcare? My question is this: Medicare is broke. already it's necessary for them to start replacing the billions they stole for the general fund from the "Social Security Fund." So how are they going to pay for it? More and bigger taxes, and printing more money, that's how. (Just common sense)
I'm a Hawk
Liberals Call me a “hawk,” because I say, “Fine; make a “surgical strike” on that pot-bellied dictator in N. Korea, or on Ahmadinijad. Failing that, drop a nuke on his capital city (either on of them).” I’m not like liberals. After somebody threatens me a certain number of times, I’m “ready to go to war.” I get tired of being threatened by “tiny little men” very quickly. Both these jerks have been acting like they think they can WIN a war with the United States. If they throw a SINGLE nuke at ANYBODY, we can, and WILL make a steaming pile out of their countries and not feel a bit bad about it. Yes, a lot of innocent people will die. But that’s THEIR fault, not ours. They cannot impute fault on us while making empty threats. Maybe their people can “rise up” and eliminate these insane jerks. If they don’t, it’s on THEIR heads, not ours. (Just common sense)
Predictions and Truth
President (then candidate) Johnson said, “If you vote for Goldwater, we’ll be fully involved in Viet Nam in six months." So they voted for Johnson and we were fully involved in Viet Nam in six months. Obama said, “If we don’t vote in this stimulus package, we’ll soon have 9% PLUS unemployment. So they voted the stimulus package in, and we now (at this writing) have 9.2% unemployment. I really enjoy watching these Democrat politicians predicting the future. (Just common sense)
Killing Off the "Old Folks?"
Is this what Obama is saying we should do to save money? Recently he said as much: “Obama said during the ABC Special on Wednesday night [as this is written –RT] that a way to save healthcare costs is to abandon the sort of care that “evidence shows is not necessarily going to improve” the patient’s health. He went on to say that he had personal familiarity with such a situation when his grandmother broke her hip after she was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Obama offered a question on the efficacy of further care for his grandmother saying, “and the question was, does she get hip replacement surgery, even though she was fragile enough they were not sure how long she would last?” Does this mean his government will not “approve” treatment I may need because I’m 72 years old, and thus it will probably not help me for long? Who decides how long is long? (Red State/Warner Todd)

We Were Founded in Freedom
Do you wonder why this nation has surpassed countries that have been around for hundreds, even THOUSANDS of years and have become the richest and most powerful country in the world in less than 300 years? It’s a simple answer: it’s because we were founded on LIBERTY and FREEDOM. It is CAPITALISM and the "profit motive," not socialism, that has made us strong. But Obama wants to get us away from all that. He wants us to “walk away” from what has made us great and TOWARD a system that has FAILED every time it has been tried. For those current socialist countries such as Communist China, Cuba, Venezuela, etc., it’s only a matter of time. It won’t be long now. As the United States “fades” in importance and loses the ability to “support” such regimes, they will fail, one by one, or maybe all together. (Just common sense)
All Our Troubles Are Over!
Obama is in charge! “Well, I'm glad that's over! Now that our silver-tongued president has gone to Cairo to soothe Muslims' hurt feelings, they love us again! Muslims in Pakistan expressed their appreciation for President Barack Obama's speech by bombing a fancy hotel in Peshawar this week.” And they’ll tell us again, over and over, how much they love us as the days and weeks go on. The seas will go back down, the ice caps will again be safe, and all our other problems will cease to be problems. It must be true! Obama SAYS it! Bulldroppings! Nothing that comes out of Obama’s mouth is true. You can tell what the truth is by seeing what is just the opposite of what Obama says. My only comment on his Cairo speech is, “God help us!” (Ann Coulter)
Climate of Stupidity
That’s what we have had in Washington since Obama and his henchmen were elected and appointed. COW FARTS: They say cow farts create more pollution than all the autos in the world and want to tax them; NUCLEAR IDIOCY: With insane dictators around the world nearing acquisition of nuclear devices, Obama wants us to “get out of the nuclear business and leave us defenseless; KILLING COAL: He has PROMISED to “bankrupt the coal industry,” one of the BASIC industries necessary to our survival; “MAKING NICE” ON TERRORISTS: The only thing I can say about his speech in Cairo is, “God help us!” “WAR? WHAT WAR? He doesn’t even believe we’re at war with an ideology that tells its adherents to KILL those who don’t believe the same way they do;
SPENDING SPREE: He spent more in his first THREE WEEKS than this country has spent since its inception! He is printing money so fast that soon we will be in a “double-digit inflation,” which is “secret theft” from us and our descendants since every dollar he prints with nothing behind it makes money now in existence worth less. Everything he has done since he was elected (with the possible exception of reversing Bush’s ban on financing for embryonic stem cell research) is STUPID. Will we survive his stupidities? Maybe not, if we don’t cut him short by making him a “one-term president” or even IMPEACH him. This differs from the “systemic hatred” of George Bush by liberals, who could not coherently say WHY they hated him. I don’t HATE him. And as with Bill Clinton, I CAN. I just have no USE for him and am AFRAID of what’s coming with him and his henchmen in charge. (Just common sense)

Computer Lost Its Mind
If anybody's worried about me, quit it. I'm not sick; my computer is. It apparently "lost its mind" last Sunday and I've been trying to get it fixed ever since. The result is that I now have a computer with more memory (the same one, just more memory), an "empty" hard drive and a "slave" hard drive with all my old files on it. Since I'm an inveterate "backer-upper," I didn't lose anything important and even though it's still doing some strange things, it does work (mostly).
Democrats Protecting Pedophiles
They’re working hard to pass the obviously misnamed "Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act." Which more descriptively could be called the “Pedophile Protection Act.” They know they can’t get such an irrational law passed “up front,” so now they’re trying to get it added as an “unnamed attachment” to another “must-pass” bill (that’s how they pass unpopular or ignorant bills into law “under the table.”). This bill, if it becomes law, will make a “protected class” of, among other things, Incest - sex with one's offspring (a crime, of course); Necrophilia - sexual relations with a corpse, also a crime; Pedophilia - sex with an underage child, another crime. Most of these actions are ALREADY against the law, but Democrats want to “protect” such people and won’t hear of excluding ANY of the categories, including pedophilia. Could it be because they fear being exposed? I don’t want to suggest that any of them ARE pedophiles, but their determination to make pedophiles a “protected class” is somewhat suspicious to me. (Just common sense)
Obama Lies, Press Swears to It
Recently he told us he “saved or created” 150,000 jobs (whatever THAT means) while the jobless numbers were 9.2% (later 9.4%), the highest it has been in recent years with double-digit unemployment soon to be in our future. Then the press trumpeted it all over; except for the Wall Street Journal, which published a story with the title, “The Media Falls for Phony Jobs Claims,” and shows that Obama’s claims are pure fiction. They’re “made-up numbers” and the “state-run media” does not even question them. No demands for proof. They just print it, right out of the man Evan Thomas (Time Magazine) called “A God.” It amazes me that he thinks we’re ignorant enough to believe that, but he’s right. Those who “don’t pay attention to politics” will. (Wall Street Journal)
The Liberal Way of Thinking
This is an informative poem by someone who knows what's going on: “They want power over all of us./ And they want the money to do it;/ Meanwhile we do our thing,/Paying attention when we get around to it./They don't care whose lives they ruin/While they make laws to control us;/They go their merry way/With our own money they dole us/So we'll continue to vote/To keep the money coming;/While they snare us more fully/And we contribute to our own undoing.” This poem was written by someone whose name I’ve never known, but it puts things very well. If you know who wrote it, please let me know so I can give him/her proper credit. (Just common sense)

"Taser Death"
“TASER DEATH”: Twice in recent days people have been shocked and have died. The “quick” judgment is that the shock killed him. That is impossible. Stun guns cannot kill. There isn’t enough AMPERAGE to do so. I’d bet that when the autopsy results are in, it will be discovered that both these people had underlying medical problems that killed them, not the stun gun. Of course, family members will not accept this, as the stun gun is a “convenient target.” They’ll say the medical examiner is “part of the system” and ruled to “save” the cop who stunned him. MEs don’t operate that way. They find what’s there and report it. Maybe that has happened in the past, but it’s not “common.” Medical Examiners are THERE as an “oversight” to the cops, and anybody else who might kill someone, accidentally or on purpose. In one case, the man fell to his death AFTER being stunned, but the press STILL called his death as CAUSED by being “tazed.”
I’ll wait until I find out just what killed this man before I blame the stun gun the cop used. (Update: now it has come to light [thanks to Fox News] that he was on a ledge, high above the street when he was shocked, and FELL to his death. He died of “head trauma” caused by his fall. A police lieutenant and the cop who shocked him at a very bad time have been relieved of duty. It was NOT the stun gun that killed him, news reports notwithstanding). Nonetheless, news reports still say this “has brought renewed focus to the use of Tasers by police.” Maybe they ought to teach them not to use them on people precariously perched on ledges, way above the street. One thing is sure: shooting him would not have been better. (Fox News)

Unions "Jumped the Line"
If someone jumped in front of you in line at the supermarket, what would you do? “In a rigged proceeding in which the federal government disregarded bankruptcy law in favor of the political outcome it desired, the Chrysler bankruptcy laid the predicate for the much larger General Motors bankruptcy to come. Against law and precedent, the unions were moved to the front of the line when it came to who would benefit from the bankruptcy.” That's what the unions did in the Chrysler bankruptcy. This is the “big payoff” to the Unions who donated MILLIONS to Obama and his accomplices. They flatly IGNORED the law and the courts went along with it. Again, we have a government made up of CRIMINALS from the top down (judiciary included). And, unlike those who hated Bush only because the Democrats told them to, but who could not tell you why, I KNOW why I have no use for Obama and his crowd. They have EARNED it. (Newt Gingrich Letter)
IS It A "Scandal?"
“There was a time when we would have called it a scandal. In 1921, oil tycoon Harry Sinclair gave several prize head of cattle and around $269,000 to President Harding’s Secretary of the Interior, Albert Fall. In return, Sinclair got the exclusive rights to drill in an oil field in Wyoming. Sinclair’s no-bid contract became the Teapot Dome scandal, the most notorious example of political corruption in America prior to Watergate. Between 2000 and 2008, the United Auto Workers (UAW) Union gave $23,675,562 to the Democratic Party and its candidates. In 2008 alone, the UAW gave $4,161,567 to the Democratic Party, including Barack Obama. In return, the UAW received 55 percent of Chrysler and 17.5 percent of GM, plus billions of dollars. But nobody’s calling this a scandal. It’s time we start.” (Newt Gingrich)
SHOULD we call it a scandal? The “state-run media” doesn’t think so. They’ve been instructed to view it as "business as usual" and something Obama “had to do for the good of the country.” But it’s not. It has been done for “the good of Obama and his accomplices.” It is the biggest swindle perpetrated upon the American people since AlGore‘s global warming. He had conned more money out of the American people than has ANYONE before him with this scam. IS it a “scandal?” The answer is a big YES! (Newt Gingrich Letter)

Surprise, Surprise!
David Letterman’s sleazy attack on Alaska Governor Sarah Palin is typical of the kind of things elite liberals do to the people they’re frightened of; and Sarah “scares the hell out of them.” If she runs in 2012, especially if she has the likes of Bobby Jindal as her running mate, and is not “muzzled” in what she can say, she’ll win in a landslide (a REAL one, not the kind of phony one they had in Iran). Unabashed conservatives, who RUN as conservatives, as Reagan did, DO “win big,” and that’s what makes liberals wet their pants. So they’re trying very hard to discredit her and make her a laughingstock. That’s their “modus operandi.” They don’t dispute her on the issues; they can’t. so they try to discredit her and get the country laughing at her with their snide jokes and lies. It’s not going to work. She won’t allow it, as McCain did by putting certain things “off limits” to try and “appease” Obama. (People)
"Obama is a God"
This is from the transcript of a TV show, and Time Magazine’s Evan Thomas is heard to say “Obama is like a God.” “VOICE: Well, we were the good guys in 1984. Hasn't felt that way in recent years. We're seen too often as a bad guys. And he is a very different job from Reagan was all about America, and he talked about it. Obama is, we are above that now. We're not just parochial, we're not just chauvinistic, we're not just provincial. We stand for something. I mean, in a way Obama's standing above the country, above the world. He's sort of God.” If nothing else will convince you just how deeply the media is “in the hole” for Obama, this ought to do it, unless you’re just stupid. I don’t think you’re stupid, so go to the original article and read. (Glenn Beck)
Based on Wrong Premise!
Ayn Rand says, “if you find a contradiction, check your premises.” The whole idea that GITMO prisoners are there FOR what they did is WRONG. They’re “prisoners of war” without Geneva Convention rights. They actually SHOULD have been shot where they stood when they found them on the field of battle. They’re NOT “criminals” entitled to trial. Under the rules of war they could have been executed on the spot, which we should have done, so there’d be no “controversy” over how we treat them. (Just common sense)
