NY Times Going Broke

Their numbers are the worse we’ve seen since they went public. But they won’t admit the reason why. The fact that they are the “newsletter of the Democrat National Party”, what they publish is the democrat (liberal) line, and people are tired of reading all the liberal drivel they put out. The news media generally is in much the same shape because they also put out liberal drivel in huge bunches and Americans are tired of hearing and reading it. So they’re “voting with their feet,” RUNNING toward the Internet, which carries both sides of every issue. All you have to do is know where to look. I stay away from the liberal blogs and the liberal media sites unless I want an example of liberal stupidity to prove a point. I don’t expect NYT to last much longer, and its owner will have to go into retirement. He doesn’t need to work, and nobody (with any intelligence at all) would want to hire him; unless they’re liberals and they will soon be in trouble, themselves. In Denver, where I live, The Rocky Mountain News is within DAYS of going out of business because of the liberal twaddle THEY put out. The Denver Post continues in business because they’ve contrived to RUN things for both papers and will gain ALL the Rocky’s subscribers and advertisers when it dies. I’ve stopped reading BOTH papers, some time ago. I buy the Rocky for the comic strips, but too many of even THEM are preaching liberal twaddle these days. When the Rocky folds, I’ll read what comics and news I want to read on the net, as I have done for certain ones for some time. (News Busters)

Obama's "Pre-Approved List"

He has a “pre-approved list” of journalists on whim he will call to answer questions. Journalists known to tell the truth about him and his administration will not be on that list, except to prove to the others that he WILL call on them. But he will not do so often, and if they ask him REAL questions, he will “stonewall” them with a thousand word essay that says nothing. Would George Bush have gotten away with this? Not a chance! The hue and cry would still be resounding in Washington. But they love Obama so much, they’re allowing him to get away with many things. (News Busters)

We ARE "Fairness"

The Democrats want to bring back the “Fairness Doctrine” abandoned during the Reagan years because it was not only unconstitutional, but unenforceable (Oh, they won't call it that. They'll change its name to confuse us.). What they never tell you is that we ARE “fairness.” The liberals have the entire media (with the possible exception of Fox News and talk radio) at their disposal. They willfully went "in the tank" to help ELECT Obama. Talk radio is the ONLY place where conservatives are in the ascendancy. Yes, there ARE only “two sides,” no matter how people like Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity deny it. Those “sides” are COLLECTIVISM vs. INDIVIDUALISM. The Democrats represent collectivism and the talk radio shows represent individualism. Rush and Sean think there are MANY "sides." But all others are SUBdivisions of one or the other. Liberals have tried many times to enter talk radio and, because nobody is interested in their drivel, they can’t get and keep sponsors; so their shows fail. That’s not a “conspiracy. It’s a “fact of life.” But they can’t understand that. They think it HAS to be a conspiracy to keep them off the air. It IS. It’s a “conspiracy” fed by their ignorance and the drivel they spout. (One News Now)

Unearned Adulation

People in “The People’s Republic of Boulder, Colorado” want to name a school after Barak Obama. What has HE ever done to have things named after him at this juncture in life? Yes, he swindled his way into the presidency so he could swindle Americans out of TRILLIONS of dollars to fund “giveaway schemes” designed to gain even more votes from ignorant people for Democrats. That’s nothing to be celebrated. What did they want to name after George Bush after he was elected? It is this kind of “UNEARNED adulation” that created Hitler and other dictators who have killed millions. This kind of thing is called a “cult of personality” and you have seen it in many countries ruled by dictators who don’t tolerate ANY dissent. (Update: Those who wanted to do this have "surrendered," after they got lots of "hate mail.") (Channel 4 Denver)

Banning Plastic Bags

School children, who haven’t been on this earth long enough to understand ANYTHING, have conned a bunch of adults into thinking those ubiquitous plastic bags you get at the grocery store are a major problem. (They're not)First, they talked about charging six cents each (which would have gone to the state, which got their attention), then moved on to a complete BAN on their use. Yes, they are ubiquitous. But they are USEFUL. I use them for many things and they don’t cost me a thing. They talk about it costing a lot of money to get rid of them, but they never talk about the cost of getting rid of the cloth bags people will be forced to BUY and carry with them when they go to the store. They never talk about the INCONVENIENCE to shoppers. I’m old enough to remember when they were first forced upon us with the “paper or plastic” question that was asked, and all the specious arguments that were used to vilify paper bags, which were the “staple” in use up to that time. Paper bags never completely disappeared, but people vastly used the plastic bags because they were easier and were useful at home where paper bags were not. I don’t think they should be BANNED at the behest of inexperienced, ignorant of the world children. (Denver Post)

The Raping of America

Well, it’s done. America has been raped. Or will be as soon as Obama signs his “stimulus bill” into law. Of course, letting the government gaily dance around throwing money with nothing of value behind it, thereby making every dollar worth less. The swindle here wasn’t to give trillions in “Monopoly money” to Obama’s friends and supporters; although that WAS part of the swindle. The goal was to make every dollar in existence worth less; and that they accomplished. They’re not worried about money being worth less because they can print as much of it as they want and call it “increasing the money supply.” Printing money is the Only cause of inflation; making ALL money worth less). They try and convince you it’s the “wage-price spiral,” but that is only a SYMPTOM of inflation. When money doesn’t buy as much you need to ask for more money for your work; then your employer must ask for more money for HIS products or work; which, of course, forces you to go back to him for more money, etc., etc. That’s the “wage-price spiral.” That causes both of you to pay more taxes (on the more money you’re earning), which have been raised to reflect the lessening value of each dollar. The taxes are on the HIGHER value of the money, giving the government more of your actual money, PLUS a larger amount of everything. (Yahoo News/AP)

Maybe Franken Won't Win After All

Al Franken, failed comedian, failed radio talk show host, again failed to do what the Democrats accused George Bush of doing in 2000 in Florida: using the courts to steal the election. Bush wasn’t doing that, but Franken is trying to do it, and it seems he’s failing (yet again). It seems to me a funny thing that a majority of extra votes counted thus far have been in his column, but I think that is ending, as people other than his “hand-picked” election officials are now closely inspecting the votes his buddies rejected. His latest court action failed. But don’t anybody think he’s through. He’ll find SOMETHING to use for yet another foray into the courts. (News Max)

Hugo's Not So snippy Any More

HUGO’S NOT SO SNIPPY ANY MORE: Last year, he threatened to “cut off” our access to his oil, while he was “riding high.” But now, with oil prices going “through the floor” to the basement, he’s rethinking his position. He has debts he can’t pay, and that makes it very uncomfortable for him politically. Unless oil prices go up, he’s in danger of losing it all. So he has to make the very deals he disdained while oil prices were high. If prices go back up a LOT, he MAY survive. But don’t hold your breath. (Just common sense)

Obama: "All Economists Agree"

What the hell makes Obama think he can speak for ALL economists? The Cato Institute doesn’t think so. At least, they didn’t think so in an ad they ran in several publications, to which HUNDREDS of economists signed agreement, saying the “stimulus bill WOULDN’T work. Actually, it will work. But not to accomplish the stated goal of “stimulating” the economy. What it WILL do is give Obama a platform to pass a law which NOBODY KNOWS what’s in. So they can “spring” the contents of that bill on us AFTER it becomes law. They released this 1,100 page bill to Congress the NIGHT BEFORE the vote was scheduled. How ANYBODY is supposed to have read this massive document in time for that vote is beyond me. If I were a congressman I would do an “Obama” and vote “present” so my name would not appear on the “for” side of this “mystery bill.” Further, how can “ALL” economists agree when there is NO WAY “all economists” could possibly have READ the bill before it was passed? (Paul Jacob)

The "Big Lie"

Obama says, " ‘We saw this happen in Japan in the 1990s, where they did not act boldly and swiftly enough, and as a consequence they suffered what was called the ‘lost decade’ where essentially for the entire '90s they did not see any significant economic growth." - This statement is audacity defined. Since 1992 Japan has spent $6.3 trillion in stimulus spending, racking up the largest public debt in the developed world — totaling 180 percent of its $5.5 trillion economy. And this massive borrow-and-spend splurge did nothing to help the economy. And Obama thinks this is evidence in support of his Trillion Dollar Debt Plan?” Actually, he doesn’t. He knows this spending doesn’t help. But he wants the power to tell big business what to do that comes along with it. (The Heritage Foundation)

"Meaningful Users"

"Keeping doctors informed of the newest medical findings is important, but enforcing uniformity goes too far. Hospitals and doctors that are not 'meaningful users' of the new system (forced on them by Obama's "stimulus bill") will face penalties. 'Meaningful user' isn’t defined in the bill. That will be left to the HHS secretary [a "faceless bureaucrat -RT], who will be empowered to impose 'more stringent measures of meaningful use over time.' " (Quote from "Cafe Hayak") What that means is if your doctor doesn’t ”obey orders,” he/she will be penalized. If he/she thinks what the government thinks is good for you will kill you and doesn’t do it, he will suffer. And what constitutes “meaningful user” is subjective, and subject to DEFINITION by the federal czar. (Just common sense)

Believing Democrats

"Do you believe Democrats when they say they're not planning to regulate talk radio?" That’s the question posed by World Net Daily. My answer is simple. NO. I don’t believe ANYTHING Democrats say unless it is a threat. A threat to take away more of our rights on one pretext or another. Hidden in the “stimulus bill” is a measure to “take over” the medical profession. Hillary couldn’t do it, but Obama will accomplish it if this bill is passed into law. It includes a measure to create a “health czar” who can overrule your doctor if he thinks what the doctor proposes to do to keep you alive is not “economically feasible.” That means if it costs too much, they’ll have to let you die or be in trouble with the feds. This “faceless bureaucrat” may not even be a doctor. But if he figures you need to die so the government won’t spend a lot of money, you die. THAT’S what I believe when a Democrat says it. I DON”T believe them when they say they won’t “muzzle” talk radio under one guise or another. (World Net Daily)

"No Pork" in Stimulus Bill

Yeah, riiight! It contains NO pork; really! That’s because Obama doesn’t CALL it pork. He calls it something else, so he can SAY the bill “contains no pork” and even pass a lie detector test as he says it. It’s funny though, that the bill DOES contain funding for things we’ve always CALLED pork. But he has redefined the words used, so how can the bill “contain pork?” This is one of the most often used swindles by politicians on both sides, but mostly on the Democrat (liberal) side. Redefine the words used and insist your opponents use the newly defined words to argue against you; therefore making it all but imnpossible to successfully argue against you. Obama is good at that. (Yahoo News/AP)

Put Humans Above Geese

There are geese everywhere. In most places they don’t do any harm, like those who swim in man-made ponds close to homes, or who land and congregate right next to a freeway. But the ones who fly right into jet engines and live close to airports need to be taught they have no business there. You can’t “call them all together” and tell them of the danger. You need to kill enough of them close to airports to give them the lesson that near an airport is NOT the place to be. “Animal lovers” object to any suggestion to kill them, but I think if they present a “clear and present danger” to humans in airplanes, they need to be taught to be elsewhere. Yes, they don’t “bring down” many planes, as they did in New Jersey. But they CAN, and I think we need to be much more concerned about the lives of those humans in those airplanes than about these birds. (Just common sense)

"Same Failed Ideas of the Last Eight Years"

That’s what the Democrats keep saying, hoping people will come to believe this lie. It was NOT “the failed ideas of the last eight years” that caused the economic crisis. It was a DEMOCRAT law (Citizen’s Reinvestment Act of 1976, that FORCED lenders to lend money to people they KNEW could not pay it back), made by Democrats and signed by a Democrat president (Jimmy Carter), strengthened by yet ANOTHER Democrat Congress and signed (again) by a Democrat president (Bill Clinton), that caused it; NOT by any “failed policies of the last eight years.” (Just common sense)

Obama Wants to Create a "Health Czar"

Complete with a computerized info system that includes ALL your medical information available to “faceless bureaucrats” with a few keystrokes. He wants to create a “health czar” who can look at your doctor’s recommendations in your treatment and VETO anything your doctor wants to do. Remember, this guy (or gal) is NOT a doctor and has NOT personally examined you. But he will have the power to make a decision that will KILL you if he feels like it. This is in Obama's “stimulus bill” and if this bill is passed, it will BE the “law of the land.” He has said, "older Americans should realize that SOME ailments are part of "being old," and not treat them. In other words, "die and get out of the way." Do you have any problems that are "part of growing old?" Then get ready to die when the "health czar" vetoes your doctor's wishes and prohibits him from treating you. Shades of the "master race!" (Just common sense)

Rewarding Failure

That’s what Obama is doing with his massive bailouts for failing companies, while telling them there will be NO high salaries for executives, whether or not they make billions for their companies. He has put a “cap” on executive salaries of $500,000, which will guarantee NO executives worth their salt will go to work for ANY company that has had a bailout, ever. Not so long as this stupid “cap” is on. Soon, nobody worthwhile will want a job at one of those companies, GUARANTEEING them further failure, which will no doubt cause Obama to reward their failure once again. This is how collectivism (socialism) works. It rewards failure while penalizing success. It destroys INCENTIVE while rewarding those who do nothing. Soon there will be NOBODY to pay for all the rewards for failure and the whole economy will fall. I hope I’m not alive so see it. What bothers me is that my descendants WILL be. (Just common sense)

Releasing 170 Terrorists

That’s what Yemen is doing. How many people can 170 dedicated killers kill? We’re about to find out, as these killers rejoin their old comrades in killing innocent people in many countries. They did this just two weeks after al Qaida announced that Yemen had become the base of its activities for the whole Arabian Peninsula. How stupid are these people? Or are they secretly terrorist supporters? I’ll be watching with interest to see how much damage these released terrorists can do, just hoping it doesn't happen where I live. (One News Now)

Do As I say, Not As I Do!

That seems to be the theme of the Democrat Party and the Obama administration. They get in a “high dudgeon” when private businesses hold “retreats” And spend a lot of money on them. But then they spend a lot of taxpayer money on their own “retreats” and say such “retreats” are important for the “well-being” of politicians so they won’t “go nuts” while solving all our problems. It’s like limiting executives in private business to $500,000 a year while making a LOT more themselves in one way or another. I guess that’s how politicians go to Washington as paupers and leave as millionaires. (The Hill)

It Figures

"Media: Katrina crashes into New Orleans, FEMA responds feebly and President Bush is blamed for the loss of life and limb. Winter smacks middle America, killing 55, FEMA's late again, but President Obama gets a pass." So what else is new? Obama and all other liberals get a pass on the very things for which Republicans were criticized. The media’s “double standard” is so obvious to those of us who “pay attention,” it takes those who DON’T to allow them to scam and swindle us about liberals. (IBD Editorials)

Al Franken: Another Democrat "Tax Problem?"

FRANKEN: ANOTHER DEMOCRAT “TAX PROBLEM?” "Last April, the California Tax Franchise Board revealed that Franken owed the state $5,800 in taxes, fines, and penalties because he did not file returns in 2003 through 2007. Franken then admitted that he owed more than $50,000 in back taxes to 17 states." This is the guy who is “DEMANDING” that the Supreme Court confirm him as the winner of the Minnesota election he is stealing. But should he even be CONSIDERED to be a senator? As a Democrat, his “tax woes” will probably not even slow him down. To Democrats, not paying your taxes is am “excusable oversight” and you can pay them when you’re “found out” without penalty from the IRS. Even more so now that the Democrats RULE Washington. Especially since a (Democrat) tax cheat now runs the Treasury Dept., which runs the IRS. (News Max)

Fooling Americans (As Usual)

Obama is “closing Gitmo.” That makes many liberals happy. What he isn’t telling them is he’s sending them to countries that DO torture their prisoners to do the torturing FOR him. And they do things much WORSE than we ever did in their “torture chambers.” Many of those countries just shoot them or behead them. "Well, well, well. Obama's going to close Club Gitmo and end "torture," but guess what? He's going to continue the policy of sending terrorists to countries like Saudi Arabia where they'll do The Messiah's interrogations and torturing for him. It's out-sourcing torture!" that's one way to get it done without getting the blame. Personally, I think Islamic terrorists should NEVER be given the same rights as Americans; ever. (The Rush Limbaugh Show)

War is Bad

I agree. If we could live without war, we should. Unfortunately, there are people in this world who want what is ours; what WE have earned, and they’re willing to kill to get it. Or they want to RULE us. As individuals, we call these people criminals and send them to prison; but when a government (not ours) does it, we call it war (If ours does it, we call it socialism). When people (even those not conn3ected to any government, but who are organized enemy combatants)) decide to take what we have earned, and are willing to kill to accomplish it, we MUST “go to war” to stop them. If we don’t, they will simply TAKE whatever they want. “War haters” are correct. I hate war. I wish we could live without it. Bit sometimes it is NECESSARY. The best way to answer people who say war should NEVER be entered into is to go up to them and hit them in the chops. See if they will hit you back. If they don’t, hit them again, and start reaching into their pockets and taking what you want. See if they try to stop you or just “give it up.” (That’s the INDIVIDUAL definition of war) If we could live without war, I’d be the first to support it. But we can’t. If we really tried, we’d lose everything. (Just common sense)

Moderate WHAT?

The headline says, “Republicans pick a moderate to head party.” “Moderate” is a “descriptive.” Moderate does not describe what kind of a politician he is, unless you’re a Democrat trying to label the other side and make them accept it. It’s a little like being “moderately pregnant” or “moderately dead.” Liberal and conservative are opposite poles. There can be no “moderation” as applied to a conservative or liberal. Either you ARE one or you are the other. If you are what Democrats CALL a “moderate Republican,” you’re a liberal. There is no “in between.” Michael Steele is CALLED a “moderate,” but is a pro-life Catholic and an advocate of limited government and lower taxes. That doesn’t sound like their idea of a “moderate,” to me. This is how the liberals make fools of us. They con us into using THEIR labels, and soon we find ourselves nodding our heads when they try to con us. I’m not a liberal OR a conservative. I’m a “rational individualist.” I’m NOT a “moderate rational individualist.” There is no such thing. (One News Now)

Police Are the Biggest "Profit Center"

Cities all over are suffering from the bad economy. So they’re setting out to force more people to give them more money. They’re increasing their “quotas” for parking tickets tremendously. Cops and “meter maids” really have to hustle to fill their quotas. Of course, when asked, representatives of the cities “jump up and down” denying they have “quotas.” What a LOAD that is! That don’t call it that, not surprisingly. They call it something like “performance expectations” so they can deny having quotas. But the effect is the same. The number of tickets written goes up exponentially and they collect millions more without having to pass a new tax. But intelligent people know better. A quota is a quota, is a quota, no matter WHAT they call it. (National Motorists Association)

People Smoke; Get Used To It

They also have sex without condoms and thus have children out of wedlock. Get used to THAT, too. That’s what the New York Times says. They equate single motherhood with “normality,” but what about smoking? They CHOOSE to make smoking a “bad thing” while defending single motherhood. Maybe it’s because the editors are “single fathers” and they forget that “single motherhood” requires the cooperation of “single fathers.” Single motherhood COSTS the government a LOT of money, where smoking costs them a LITTLE money. But they knowingly took on that responsibility when they passed socialist measures that required the government to pay for the medical treatment of those who cannot afford to pay for their own, REGARDLESS of whether or not their actions contribute to that. I‘m tired of hearing about how much people’s actions cost the government so they get the right to CONTROL those actions. They CHOSE to take on those responsibilities. Now they’re whining about it. (Ann Coulter)

Would "Regulation" Have Helped?

Nada . . . Democrats cry that “lack of regulation” is responsible for the financial slowdown, to avoid taking responsibility themselves. We HAD “regulation,” but it did nothing to stop the economic slowdown from happening. In an aside, regulators “investigated” Bernie Madeoff EIGHT TIMES,” but never came NEAR his swindle. The Bush administration “investigated” the "Community Reinvestment Act of 1976" and its companion swindles, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, but found itself blocked by the very Democrats who DESIGNED the swindle every time. There are many other such swindles out there, and the bureaucrats charged with uncovering them never do. So would “regulation” have helped? Not even! “Regulation” is only there to convince voters and taxpayers the government is “doing something.” (Just common sense)

Blocking Citizen's Rights

"Last year, a group called Fed Up With Taxes put the so-called Dirigo Drink Tax to a vote of the people. In November, Mainers voted to repeal the legislature's tax. Some politicians don't much like uppity voters having government their way. So they want to declare an emergency." They want everybody who introduces such things to be registered voters. Of course, that’s not their goal; it’s just an excuse. What they want to do is stop citizens from overruling them. Politicians just don’t like those who elected them to tell them what to do. (Common Sense)

As Predicted, No Truce

Israel declared a unilateral truce with Hamas and withdrew from Gaza (again), but Hamas fights on. Not doing anything big enough to cause Israel to begin another invasion, but enough to make them very mad). They continue “picking, picking” at Israel, killing more people than Israel killed in their invasion, over time. It’s hard to create “peace” between two antagonists who hate each other on such a basic level. It’s too bad they have to live next to each other. Their respective countries should be separated so they will have no dealings with each other at all. That’s the only way there is going to be ANY kind of peace between them. Even so, I’d bet they will STILL figure out ways to irritate one another. (Yahoo News/AP)

Economy Overall GREW in 2008!

All you’ve been hearing lately is how the economy is “the worst ever.” But what they don’t tell you is that it actually GREW in 2008 overall (in SPITE of the Democrat-CREATED downturn that came from the legally MANDATED loaning of money they KNEW could never be repaid). But they don’t want you to know that, so they can continue to screw you out of TRILLIONS of dollars in money THEY get to “parcel out” with strings attached. Such as the BIG one, the “no bonuses for execs” rule they’re trying to impose. They don’t even want an exec who saved or made millions for their companies to get bonuses. They want to stop ANY incentive toward excellence. They want to PUNISH it. They want you to think executives get bonuses whether or not they improve things for their companies. That’s not always true. Most have their bonuses in their contracts, based on making things better for their companies. (New York Times)

George Bush is STUPID!

He must be. The liberals say so. In that case, how does he keep beating their butts every time he goes up against them even while otherwise good people repeat the liberal lie that he is? He is so stupid that he went against liberal "superior knowledge" that tax cuts hurt the economy by keeping liberals from being able to spend YOUR money by letting YOU keep more of it and invest it in the things in which YOU want to invest it. He's so stupid he REDUCED the tax base and by so doing created more investment opportunities for all Americans by INCREASING the tax "take." But the liberals, in their so-called superiority, are fighting his tax cuts, "tooth and nail," trying to get every American who pays taxes a $69 billion (with a "B") tax INCREASE. If this happens, among other things, you will again be subject to the "Marriage Penalty," which means it is better to "live in sin" or pay more taxes. You will again be subject to the "Death Tax" on grieving families, making the government your biggest heir at your death. The liberals are your ENEMIES. If you allow them to rescind the tax cuts George Bush got for you, it will be YOU who are stupid. Liberals are launching a relentless crusade to kill these tax cuts by painting them as "un-American." Hillary (Screech) Clinton says cutting taxes "goes against our values as Americans." (What bull droppings!) Liberal pundits claim Bush's tax cuts are "disastrous," even though they've helped create more than 5 MILLION JOBS since 2003. They’re now trying to blame Bush for the “economic slowdown” THEY created in order to help the Democrats (liberals) take over power in Washington again. I hope it doesn’t last ANOTHER 50 years. (Inspired by the Heritage Foundation)

By Jove, I think He's Got It!

Richard Miniter says in the "New York Post," this: "America has never faced an enemy who has so ruthlessly broken all the rules of war -- yet never has an enemy been treated so well. Of Gitmo's several camps, military records show that the one with the most lenient rules is the one with the MOST incidents, and vice versa. We should worry less about detainee safety and more about our own [and that of the guards -RT]. Some 20 current detainees have direct, PERSONAL knowledge of the 9/11 attacks and nearly EVERY ONE of them say they would be “honored to attack America again." Isn’t this good reason not to treat them so well? (Richard Miniter, in the "New York Post," reprinted in the "Rocky Mountain News")

They Won't Even TALK About It!

That little-known, silly little law they passed back in the seventies during a Democrat-controlled Congress and signed by a Democrat president (Jimmy Carter) known as the “Community Reinvestment Act of 1976,” which was strengthened by yet ANOTHER Democrat Congress and that strengthening signed into law by ANOTHER Democrat (Bill Clinton) and promoted by MANY Democrats including Barney Frank and Chris Dodd CAUSED the collapse of the mortgage industry and, “domino fashion” caused the near-collapse of the financial industry. Yet the Democrats are STILL trying to blame George Bush and the Republicans because of “lack of regulation.” But it was the DEMOCRATS who blocked every effort to investigate their adjunct, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. And still they have the GALL to blame Republicans for what THEY did! Meanwhile, the law continues to be in effect, forcing lenders to make loans to people who haven’t a PRAYER of being able to pay them back and NOBODY does anything to try and stop it. Nobody on EITHER side is even willing to TALK about it! (Just common sense)

Questions for Daschle

Who paid for his car and driver; and what did that “benefactor” want from Daschle, a “washed-up” former senator? And did he/she get it? If so, was the whole deal illegal? Seems to me people don’t ever ask enough questions in times like these. That’s why politicians do things like this. The people they make the rules for never follow those rules themselves and no one asks any questions. But this is only on the Democrat side. They don’t ask questions about what Democrats do, but they always DO with Republicans. Such as Barney Frank remaining in the Congress and having a lot of powerful posts after his boyfriend was caught running a gay whorehouse out of Frank’s apartment and nothing important happening to Frank while REPUBLICAN congressman is forced to RESIGN because a “gay-hater” cop “thought” he was “asking for gay sex” in a men’s room. This kind of a double-standard is common, and NOBODY asks any questions about it. (Just common sense)

Catching the "Fat Virus"

It amazes me what junk scientists want us to believe in their quest to con more money out of us. Now they’re saying you can get fat by being close to someone who IS fat, by catching the “fat virus.” What they don’t consider is that people who eat too much and exercise too little will get fat. Infecting chickens with a virus while they grow fat from other activities doe not prove this thesis. But apparently they don’t know this. (RDS)

Cleared of Phony Charges

The Oklahoma Attorney General filed (unconstitutional) charges threatening columnist Paul Jacob and two others with TEN YEARS in jail for sponsoring a petition drive in that state while not living there. Talk about “stifling dissent!” But apparently “wiser heads” prevailed and he (the attorney general) realized he would ultimately lose, so he very publicly dropped the charges after forcing Jacob and other to live under MONTHS of wondering if he could actually put them in prison for sponsoring a petition drive. (Paul Jacob/Town Hall)

Policing for Profit

I predicted this when I hears about the RICO laws. Be careful driving on our nation’s roads, especially in New York and Florida (Utah, too, where the “confiscating officer” gets a percentage of the loot). Don’t carry large amounts of cash in those states because bandits (wearing badges and driving police cars) will stop you and steal it, claiming it is “probably drug money.” Under RICO laws, they don’t even have to prove it, and to get it back, YOU have to post a bond promising to pay THEIR legal and court costs, win or lose, in order to file suit. Cops today can steal your car if you commit ANY kind of a crime in it, even if it’s not your car. In one case, they caught a man getting oral sex in a car that was his and his WIFE’S car and they stole it. It didn’t matter that his wife didn’t know what he was doing and, indeed, would not have approved. She lost her interest in her car because of this minor crime that was hurting nobody (In fact, it was making one guy very happy). These days they can stand beside a walkway and scan your pockets (that little “strip” in all new bills broadcasts its presence to their scanners) to find out of you’re carrying enough money to make it worth while to rob you. If you are, they can stop you, search you, and take any money they find, saying it is “probably drug money.” The system described above applies here, too. You can lose your car for non-payment of TRAFFIC tickets. These are the kind of laws we fought a REVOLUTION to remove, but our own government is now enforcing them. After this is published, I will probably be targeted. (FEAR)

"Not A Minute to Spare!"

That’s what our government is telling us about their most recent “stimulus bill,” (to "stampede us" into agreeing without thinking) although none of their previous “stimulus bills” have done a single thing to “stimulate” the economy, and none of them ever will. They’re using this slowdown as a cover to pass their favorite “giveaway programs;” ones that they’ve been trying to get passed for years (to gain power). It’s like a car salesman telling you that you have to buy this car NOW or it won’t be here tomorrow. It’s “rub-a-dub-dub,” “do it NOW’ scam they’re pulling. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. The ONLY way to stimulate” the economy is to leave more money in the hands of investors who CREATE jobs by investing in projects to make money and letting them keep more of it. They create more prosperity by doing that than ANY government can ever hope to do by spending “imaginary money” they’ve printed up with nothing behind it. But try to get a politician to admit that. They want the money so they can gain more power by giving it away to people who support them. People (who don't know what they're talking about) criticize me for saying the same things over and over again, but if that's what's required to get people to pay attention, I'll keep doing it.

Greg Craig Involved In Many Dem Scandals

“President-elect Barack Obama has chosen Washington lawyer Gregory B. Craig, who served as President Bill Clinton's lead attorney during the 1998 impeachment proceedings, to be his White House counsel, according to an individual involved with the transition. Craig has been a longtime adviser to former president Clinton and Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, but became a close adviser to Obama during the campaign, reportedly serving as the stand-in for Sen. John McCain during debate preparations. Transition officials declined to comment, and Craig did not return calls left on his machine [of course -RT]. Craig was a foreign policy adviser to Sen. Edward M. Kennedy and Secretary of State Madeleine Albright. He has defended high-profile clients, including John Hinckley Jr., who attempted to assassinate President Ronald Reagan, and Kennedy nephew William Kennedy Smith, who was accused of rape." Notice That the only time of note that he represented anybody NOT in the Democrat government gang, was the guy who tried to kill the liberal-hated Ronald Reagan. Obama’s “change” apparently means “business as usual.” (Washington Post)

Don't Listen to Rush!

That’s Obama’s order to “conservatives” if they want to get along with him. That tells me Rush is the MOST effective conservative commentator there is, and that Obama is AFRAID of him. That’s good. I wish he’d tell people not to listen to ME. That would tell me I’m actually being heard. Of course, the “conservatives” he told this are RINOs (Republicans in name only). People who want the world to THINK they’re conservatives, but who vote with the liberals most of the time. People like John McCain. Even HILLARY claims to be conservative, when anybody with any intelligence at all knows she’s further left than even OBAMA. What these people want us to believe is amazing to me. But since most people don’t pay attention to politics, they WILL believe them. (News Max)

The Biggest Government Swindle

When they print money, the way they’re doing for the “great giveaway” known as the “bailout,” where they give trillions of dollars to those “eeevil” corporations they formerly blamed for all our problems, they make ALL money in circulation worth less. I repeat. It makes ALL money now in circulation worth LESS. It’s like someone putting his hand in your pocket and removing SOME of your money. ALL money will then BUY less, and you will need to demand more of it from your employer. Then after giving YOU more, he will have to demand more from his customers, who will then have to demand more from THEIR employers, who will have to demand more from their customers, etc., etc., ad infinitum, ad nauseum. It’s a “hidden tax” on EVERYBODY that they can’t blame on politicians because no new tax was passed into law. And nobody (who isn’t paying attention or knows nothing about economics) knows why his money doesn’t buy as much any more. This is how the government steals your money without you knowing. And they’re doing it today by the TRILLIONS. They blame “the wage-price spiral” for inflation, but the “wage-price spiral” is a SYMPTOM of inflation, not the cause of it. The ONLY cause of inflation IS the government printing more and more money with nothing valuable behind it. If you notice NOTHING about politics, know this. So you won’t fall for their inflationary swindles. Wikipedia talks about “increases in the money supply.” Sounds innocent, doesn’t it? But that simply MEANS the government has printed more money. (Wikipedia)

Pelosi: Killing Unborn Infants "Good for the Ecnomy"

She says that every new person living in the United States adds to the “burden of government.” Of course, this is a purely socialist opinion, and by saying it she reveals her socialist thinking. What she’s forgetting is that the fewer people who are born will be fewer voters in the future; fewer people to buy things and improve the economy with their earned money. Fewer people to buy homes and pay taxes; fewer people to invest in profit-making, thus employment-creating projects. How do stupid people like this get in powerful positions in our government? She’s a DEMOCRAT. For Democrats, failure is a resume enhancement. She’s so stupid she makes a GOOD Democrat. This even horrified Obama! He removed this part of his "stimulus (pork) bill" as soon as she said it. (Just common sense)

Obama Kills 17 Terrorists

Anybody who thought Obama would “end” the war on terror immediately upon becoming president, just forget it. The evidence? Americans sent a “drone” aircraft into Pakistan and killed 17 terrorists (good riddance). He’ll probably claim the raid was a “carryover order” from the Bush administration that he didn’t know about until too late. Just as he will blame Bush for the economic downturn the Democrats CREATED, and who made it worse with every action or statement since, just because they were able to do so during Bush’s administration. Karzai says the raid killed "civilians," which is a LOAD. TERRORISTS are "civilians," and how do you tell the difference? Maybe he said that because he is "negotiating" with the Taliban and didn't want to make them mad. (Yahoo News/AP)

Fired for Excellence

A high school basketball team won a game 100 to nothing. Obviously because of the excellence of the coach’s training and strategy. So the school fired him for “embarrassing” the other team. This is something that’s going to happen more and more as the liberals consolidate their control over all facets of our lives and continue to punish excellence while propping up mediocrity. Propping up mediocrity is one of their basic scams and those who go against it will suffer. (Fox News)

Obama Seeks GOP Help?

That’s what the headline says, and that’s a LOAD! Likely that’s the only part of the news item most Americans will see. Obama knows that. Yes, he’s meeting with “selected” Republicans (RINOs) and “allowing” them to make suggestions. Will he take these suggestions? Probably not. What will happen is he MIGHT include a couple of small GOP ideas so he can say, “See, see! Bipartisanship!” But you can bet the biggest number of ideas in there will be his, or those of other liberals. The whole purpose of the meeting is to get Republicans to agree to HIS ideas and convince Americans that he is “talking to Republicans.” It’s all “window dressing,” folks. It’s “smoke and mirrors” designed to continue to fool Americans. He recently had a meeting with “conservative leaders” that didn’t include Rush Limbaugh, the TOP “conservative leader. The one all others aspire to be. He wants to be able to say WHO is a “conservative leader” so he can say “conservative leaders agree with me.” Typical Obama swindle.(Yahoo News/AP)

Obama Shows His Ignorance (Again)

One of his very first interviews is with an Arab network, and his message is, “We’re NOT your enemy.” But we ARE their enemy, as long as they continue to kill Americans and other innocent people. Not ALL Arabs, of course. Just those who are murdering us. And not just Arabs. ALL Islamic terrorists from wherever. We will continue to be their enemy as long as they continue to kill us. The longer they kill us, the more we will be their enemy, and if we don’t soon find out that the only way to stop them is to KILL them, we’re going to lose. They will not have won, we will have ALLOWED them to win. (Yahoo News/AP)

"Bashing Obama"

That’s what I do: “bash” socialist idiots. Some people criticize me for “not giving Obama a chance.” A chance to do what? Socialize my country? Create a socialized medicine program similar to that in Canada, where you can wait MONTHS to even SEE a doctor, even in emergencies? Where a “faceless bureaucrat” with NO medical training gets to say whether or not you even HAVE a medical emergency? Where it is to the “payer’s” advantage that you die while waiting so they don’t have to pay for your medical treatment, rather than our present system where it is to the doctor’s advantage to keep you alive so you can pay your bill? Maybe like Cuba, where they have a “two-tier” system where people like Fidel Castro and his friends get top-drawer medical treatment while the rest of the people get lousy treatment? How about like England, where they keep patients waiting in ambulances for HOURS waiting for the emergency room to “get to them” because the minute they go through the door they must be seen within four hours (a bureaucratic edict that has nothing to do with reality)? Is it any wonder why I “bash” Obama and the rest of the Democrats, who have similar plans? (Just common sense)

Terrorists Are "Mothers and Fathers"

That's Rosie O'Donnell's opinion. When she was on "The View," she said, "Faith or fear, that's your choice. You can walk through life believing in the goodness of the world, or walk through life afraid of anyone who thinks different than you and trying to convert them to your way of thinking." I got news for you, Rosie. Yes, they're "mothers and fathers," and they're teaching their children to hate anybody who does not believe as they do, and sending them out to kill them, even BE killed in the attempt. You can't convert anybody to your way of thinking if their FIRST desire is to kill you. What I'd like to do is put Rosie in a room with one of them, with no protection, and see if she continues to think the same way--for as long as she lives, which won't be long. (News Busters)

"Leading From the Middle"

Obama makes many impossible statements and expects us to believe them. He and his apostles must really think we’re stupid. Maybe we are. We elected him president, didn’t we? (I don’t include myself in that crowd; I didn’t vote for him.) How do you “lead from the middle?” Being “in the middle” means you are listening to people from both sides and doing what everybody says. That’s not LEADING. It’s COMPROMISE. And compromise is NOT leadership. In any case, don’t believe a word of it. Obama is NOT going to “lead from the middle.” He’s going to “lead from the extreme left” and lead us to economic and social disaster if we don’t stop him. Don’t listen uncritically to anything he, or his apostles say. He has already been declared “the best president in history” after only a few hours in office. That should tell you a lot about his adherents and their opinions. (IBD Editorials)

Former GITMO Inmate Back to Killing

A former GITMO detainee who was released is now in Yemen (where the U. S. Cole was bombed killing many U. S. sailors). This proves my contention that if you release these murderers, they will find their way back into the “war on terror” (on the terrorist’s side, of course). This guy isn’t the first, and won’t be the last, as Obama sets about reversing everything Bush tried to do, good or bad, and kills a lot of people in the process. (Yahoo News/AP)

Ask Wesley Snipes

Can everybody now claim “they forgot” to pay their taxes for years and say “I’m sorry” and be forgiven? No, unless you’re a Democrat “favorite.” Actor Wesley Snipes is apparently not. He is in prison for tax evasion. Or Al Capone, who was finally “nabbed” on a tax charge. How about Leona Helmsley, the hated hotel owner who was jailed for tax charges? How about you? Or me? We’d go to jail instantly if we did what he did. Bet on it. But he is an “Obama favorite,” so he will no doubt be confirmed to actually RUN the IRS, the very agency that enforces tax laws!. Wanna bet the guy who gave him a hard time in the past will have a very short career? Look for this kind of thing to happen regularly in a Democrat-controlled government. (Yahoo News)

Iraq Ready for Troops to Leave

Predictably, As soon as Obama gets in office, the news media begins its DEMOCRAT-loaded campaign to get our troops out of Iraq, even if it means the death of millions, as our pullout meant in Viet Nam (another pullout engineered by liberals). Obama says he won’t pull them out immediately, but I’d bet it won’t take him long, if this announcement means anything. (Yahoo News/AP)

"Anti-Annoyance Law"

It’s a law ANYBODY can use to annoy others, simply by DEFINING what they do as being “annoying,” and the cop they cal can make a SUBJECTIVE decision as to whether or not a law has been violated. Such laws SHOULD be unconstitutional, but they’re not. They’re good tools for politicians to shut people up and get rid of people who criticize them. People who criticize ME “annoy” me. Could I use this law to shut them up if I wanted to? (Common Sense)

This Is Child Protection

“In September, an HSLDA [Home School Legal Defense Association –RT] member family in Sinton was visited by a social worker who had a list of allegations an anonymous tipster had called in. The list included that the family homeschools, that the children are sent to bed ‘really early’ and do not play with neighbor kids, and that there are firearms in the home.” All things that are legal to intelligent persons. In this case this “dastardly family” sent their kids to bed too early and they must be punished! They also homeschooled their kids and had firearms in the house! (Last I heard, there was a constitutional protection for “guns in the house”) That’s the opinion of the “child protectors.” How stupid ARE they? They also punish parents for “grounding” their children for “acting out,” and for other things parents do to be able to control their children. Thus, they “send a message” to your kids that their parents have NO authority over them and they can do as they wish. That all they have to do is “drop a dime (now a quarter) on their parents if they don’t like the way they’re being punished and the “child protectors” will take care of it. Then, when they predictably get in trouble, they (the “child protectors”) want to blame the parents. This will ultimately destroy parental authority over their children. But that’s what the “child protectors” are after. Then their parents cannot object when their schools brainwash them to believe socialism is a “good thing” (as one of my nephews told me one day). (HSLDA)

From Peter to Paul to Peter

What out esteemed Democrats are doing is “borrowing from Peter to pay Paul” so Paul can pay Peter. It creates NO new wealth. It only moves existing money around. It’s like the “three shell game” where you have to figure out which shell the pea is under. Lower taxes, creating INCENTIVE to do new business, DOES create new wealth. How STUPID are our Democrat (and Republican) politicians not to know that? I’m not even an economist and I can figure it out. It's all a "dog and pony show to convince us that they’re “doing something.” (Just common sense)

Does Iraq Make Bush a "Failed President?"

Not in the slightest. Iraq is a “bad war” only in the imagination of certain liberals, to whom ANY war is a “bad war.” Makes me wonder what they’d do if I walked up and punched one of them in the nose. He’d probably hit me back. Remember, these are the same people who think a CRIMINAL, who doesn’t OBEY laws, will obey one that says he can’t be armed. These are the people who want to HURT “big business,” but who are giving big business BILLIONS of dollars to keep them from going OUT of business, in a “tacit admission” that “big business” making money is important to the rest of us (something they’ll deny to their dying day). Remember: If Bush did nothing else right (and he did many things right), he kept us safe for his entire time in office after 9/11. The terrorists were NOT able to attack us on our own ground again after 9/11. They were too busy keeping their rear-ends from being shot off in Iraq and Afghanistan. (One News Now/Larry Elder)

Ramos & Compean Free

Which is okay. But I’m still disappointed in George Bush. Why did he wait so long? Why did he not simply pardon them? I’m glad they’re going to be no longer in prison with all the scum of the earth. But as released felons they can never again work in law enforcement, nor in any job worth having unless employers are able to see beyond the fact they’re felons and consider the fact they were “railroaded” into prison on the testimony of a drug smuggler. Even Rush Limbaugh says they “tried to cover up the shooting,” which is incorrect. Their supervisor was ON SCENE and knew exactly what was going on, yet he still allowed them to be imprisoned on the word of a drug smuggler. A pardon would have cleared them completely and they could go on with their lives. But NO! He simply commuted their sentences and left them to fend for themselves, crippled by the label, “felon.” (Breitbart)

Obsessing Over Obama

I’m ashamed of the media. I haven’t seen such a sickening case of obsession in my lifetime. Not even when Clinton was inaugurated the first time. It’s SICKENING the way the news media fawns over Obama and his inauguration (or coronation, actually). The inauguration is today (Tuesday) and they’ve been “wall-to-wall inauguration” since Friday. I’m trying to ignore tha hoopla, but you can’t. It’s on every station, even some that are only “sometimes” news stations. I’m having to watch “House” reruns to avoid it. Such complete admiration is what creates dictators from properly elected “rulers” such as Adolph Hitler. Hitler was properly elected, then went on to make a dictator of himself while he tried to take over the world. Obama won’t have as much trouble as Adolph did because as America’s president, he is the most powerful politician in the world. Hitler was only the dictator of a small country. I’ll be watching carefully and if he starts proposing things that can make him a dictator, I’ll be the first to notice and shout it to the rooftops (for all the good it’ll do). I’ll also probably be one of the first to be “silenced” when his troops notice me. (Just common sense)

A "Hard Sell"

It must be hard to try and swindle the populace about “global warming” as temperatures drop to record cold levels all over the world. What amazes me is AlGore is still saying even extreme COLD temperatures are “sure evidence” of man-made global warming. Boy, does he think we’re STUPID! He’s still out there promoting his swindle, telling crowd after crowd (at high speaking fees, of course) that man-made global warming IS real, despite the evidence of their eyes and bodies as they shiver (He has schools FORCING children to watch his propaganda movie and forcing their parents to watch it, too, on pain of bad grades for their children). He brands ANYBODY who disagrees with him as “the fringe” and stupid. But it is those who BUY his swindle that are stupid. He’s made MILLIONS from this swindle, and he intends to make millions more from the gullible of society. (Yahoo News/AP)

Throwing Rocks At a Brick Wall

I’m frustrated. I’ve spent many years trying to wake people up to the danger they’re in from the collectivists who are running most of their lives (even now) and are moving us ever faster toward a complete socialist (collectivist) society every day. I bring them fact after fact, and it’s like throwing rocks at a mountain. Nobody, not even the guilty, even notices. Nobody even ANSWERS my charges, like they’re not worth noticing OR answering. My own NEPHEW thinks, “socialism in Europe is a good thing.” I tell him all about how Europe is dying without our help, and he isn’t listening. My own BROTHER, who started me down this road, isn’t interested in what I’m saying. I talk about the reason why America, in less than 300 years, has surpassed societies thousands of years old, and it just “bounces off” them. What’s WRONG with people? (Just common sense)

Inauguration: 575 Million Lbs. of Co2

“Everybody knows” Obama’s will be the “most green” administration in history—but that’s AFTER the inauguration, which will pump 575 MILLION pounds of CO2 into the atmosphere (of course, intelligent people know carbon dioxide is NOT a pollutant; plants need it to stay alive, and so do we, since plants breath it in and exhale OXYGEN) But Obama, Gore, and their apostles think we don’t understand that. We’re too stupid. (The “Chilling Effect”)

Bin Laden Silent (Really)

The Islamic terrorists released yet another AUDIO tape purporting to have been made by Osama bin Laden, but which wasn’t. Not in the last few years, at least. Do they really think they’re fooling us? Making us believe Osama is still alive when we have not seen, nor heard from him in a provable manner since we bombed a cave he was hiding in years ago? I’d say this tape was made before that time and archived until now. References to Obama and the economic slowdown could have been (and probably were) added by Photoshop and an imitator. I hope they some day “get smart” and abandon their efforts to fool the world about his death. I’m really getting tired of their transparent attempts to insult our intelligence. (Yahoo News)

Surprise, Surprise!

An Auto company exec says the automakers “may need” (edit that: “WILL need”) more government money. They’ll have their hands out as long as the government will put money in them, as will bankers and other lenders, governors, mayors, and any and all other beggars who come before Congress trying to prove they are the most needy. Is anybody surprised? Outside of the gullible politicians who dole out OUR money to buy votes, that is. I predict that these beggars will be back, time and time again, as long as they can con money out of somebody (usually this gullible government). (One News Now)

Why I'm NOT a Republican

That’s what Rush Limbaugh says whenever liberals accuse him of “carrying water” for Republicans, and he’s right. Just as ANYBODY who thinks Israel is justified in attacking Hamas is accused of “carrying water” for Israel is wrong, it’s only in the minds of liberals that he is. Anybody who opposes either of them is “carrying water” for the other side, according to them. I’m a "rational INDIVIDUALIST," not a Republican. Nor am I a Libertarian, although they are pretty close to what I am. I'm damn sure not a Democrat. Liberals ignore people’s right to think for themselves, and for us to do so is “carrying water” to them. That’s a good scam. It works on many people, though it’s just stupid to people who are intelligent. (Just common sense)

Ignoring the Obvious Cure

Obama says the recession “could linger for years” if he doesn’t “pump money into the economy” with a “stimulus package,” much like Bush did, with no results. This is Keynesian economics, a system that has been proved wrong for many years, that government spending and DEFICIT spending can stop economic downturns. He refuses to learn from history, that every time you REDUCE taxes (as John Kennedy, Ronald Reagan, and George Bush did, which INCREASED the "tax take" each time, in Reagan's case almost DOUBLING it), allowing investors to KEEP more of their money. So they will invest it in projects that will not only create MORE taxable income, thus INCREASING the “tax take,” PLUS creating MORE JOBS. This is the “cure” that is obvious to most intelligent people, but not to Democrats, and especially not to socialists, which Obama IS. (Yahoo News/AP)

Believing in Santa Claus

Some comic strips get it right whether or not they know it. This strip, “The Knight Life,” is too new in our newspaper for me to figure out the artist’s political leanings, but after seeing this strip, I think he’s not a big Obama fan. Basically, this strip says people who idolize Obama also believe in Santa Claus--which is right on. (The Knight Line)

Mexico May Fail

Will we bail them out? Are they “too big to fail?” We’ve been sending them money for years. Now they need more? Will we soon be “bailing out” every nation in the world? It’s called, “Foreign Aid,” I hear. But now they want more. They’re in line with the rest of the beggars who want to prove they’re the most needy. Will they get some? Probably, with a fool like Obama in office. (News Max)

Sea Ice Plentiful

Again showing AlGore’s lies on global warming. It is at the same level as it was in 1979, putting the lie to AlGore’s swindle, yet again. Of course, Gore will say this is “further evidence of global warming.” That this is impossible is lost on him. What amazes me is that this man rose to the second-most powerful office in the land. He really must have a powerful politician in his corner. (Daily Tech)

They Wish, They Hope

CNN is saying “Sarah Palin has “fallen from grace.” “CNN, in a year in review story entitled ‘Politicians who fell from grace in 2008,’ listed the top eight politicians who found 2008 to be a ‘career-buster’ because of their crimes, misdemeanors and outrageous controversies.” WHAT “crimes, misdemeanors or outrageous controversies? How stupid do they think the American people are? Sarah Palin is our best hope in 2012, and that scares the hell out of Democrats (liberals). That’s because she is an unabashed conservative and is proud of it. The last unabashed conservative to be president was Reagan. He won TWO elections in landslides and finally ended the “cold war” with Russia by whipping them badly. He showed it could be done. His administration changed this nation (in ways the liberals hate). They don’t want another Reagan in the presidency. The Democrat (liberal) party might not survive it, so they hate her with fervency once accorded Reagan and more recently to Bush (though he didn’t deserve it, since he was no conservative). Any “crimes, misdemeanors of controversies” are only in CNN’s mind. Gawd, it amazes me how the liberal media tries to twist the news to their own making! (One News Now)

Toldja So!

Terrorists having been released from Gitmo have “returned to the fight” and swelled the ranks of “martyrs” killing Americans and others. I predicted this when they started releasing people who amount to “prisoners of war” but who can’t claim it because they represent NO government and wear no uniform. During WWII, such people were declared “spies” and shot. That’s what should have happened to these people. When they close Gitmo (as Obama has promised to do) they’ll have to either put them in another facility (which the liberals will want to close) or release them to go back to killing people as they were doing when caught. (Yahoo News/Reuters)

They're Only Mad At Israel

The “Arab world” is “up in arms” at Israel’s retaliation against Hamas for their incessant rocket bombing of Israel. Nobody said a word while Hamas was bombing Israel, but they’re demonstrating in the streets after Israel (rightly) retaliated in an attempt to get rid of the Hamas ability to rocket bomb them. Apparently, there’s nothing wrong with Hamas killing Israelis with daily rocket bombs, but they don’t want anybody to die on THEIR side. This is insanity for people (mostly the liberal press) in this country to echo what the “Arab Street” is saying. I’m sure Israel has been somewhat "heavy-handed" in their dealings with Palestinians, with good reason. But I think Palestinians should not underestimate the intelligence of Americans. (Just common sense)

Al Franken WAS A Good Comedian

But a lousy politician. He can’t win an election without swindling the public with the help of his Democrat friends on the election board and in the Minnesota Supreme court, who throw out votes that are obviously for Norm Coleman. I would be laughing uproariously at his antics if the result would not be yet another Democrat insisting Republicans “reach across the aisle” and agree with Democrats. If he finally wins, his will be just one more vote for Democrat attempts to make this a socialist nation. (Yahoo News/AP)

Franken Tries to "Get Around" Election Law

He tried to get the governor or Secretary of State to sign a certificate naming him as the winner of the election, despite the fact that his opponent’s lawsuit is still in play. Maybe he ought to get it, based on his effort. He took a losing election and became a winner by “finding” votes that never existed. Some votes were in excess of the number of voters in the districts in which they were “found,” but nobody seems to have noticed. If Franken does win, I’m sure he won’t be the first senator to steal an election, but he will be the best-known one. (News Max)

This is Socialized Medicine

"Dad-of-two Stewart Fleming grips his head in pain as he waits to be seen in A&E [Emergency Room. –RT]--but he died after being ignored for SIX hours. Clearly suffering, Stewart was clutching a note from his doctor saying he must be seen IMMEDIATELY. But the railway signalman, 37, was left to die as a deadly virus ravaged his body and one by one his organs collapsed. He was not admitted until six hours after arriving at the Medway Maritime Hospital in Gillingham, Kent, by which time it was too late. An infection had taken hold of his heart, liver and kidneys and specialists were unable to treat the disease." This is what you can expect if we ever get socialized medicine in this country. The government, which is the “single-payer” in such a scheme, has a financial incentive in your death. Under private-paid medicine, the doctor has a financial incentive in your RECOVERY. Not so with a government-payer system. Further, if medical care is FREE, more people will use emergency rooms as they formerly used doctor’s offices, going there for the smallest of maladies. Soon they will not be able to get into one for a LONG time, and if they fie waiting, that’s good for the government’s pocketbook. (The Sun)

Typically UN

They passed a resolution saying they’re going to put one of their units between Israel and the Palestinian terrorists in the Palestine territories. They decry Israel’s RESPONSE to the Hamas attacks. But they say not a word about the Hamas attacks. This is an obvious double standard for this “world government wannabe” outfit. If they DO put their people in between, I’d BET they’ll let Palestinian terrorists do as they wish, while stopping Israel from retaliation (if they can). (Just common sense)

Israel Depicted as "The Bully"

Never mind they have suffered daily rocket bombing from Hamas, or have suffered Hamas-sponsored suicide bombings all the time. When they FINALLY hit back, “they’re the bully” in the piece, according to our incompetent liberal media. When are the incompetent liberal media going to get it? Hamas and other Islamic terrorist organizations have sworn to “push Israel into the sea” and are trying daily to accomplish it. The fact that they are incompetent to do it doesn’t seem to matter to our liberal media. They see things the way they WANT to see them, and that is to push socialism on us any way they can. (One News Now)

Not a Word About "Gun Control"

Many cities have had reductions in homicides; some that have tight gun laws, others with looser ones. But all gave as the cause of the reduction, “more or less gang activity.” Not a word about their “gun control laws.” What this proves it that gun control laws make NO DIFFERENCE in the violent crime rates. “Gang activity” is ALWAYS with ILLEGAL guns. I don’t think a gang member has EVER had a license for his gun (or guns). Some credit “more police activity,” and they might be right, in some cases. But more guns in the hands of responsible, honest people to allow them to defend themselves against ILLEGALLY-ARMED criminals would mean an even larger drop in gun violence and murders by guns, though not by other means. People who want to kill will kill, whether or not guns are available. Tight gun laws do NOT cause violent crime to “go away.” Because criminals do not obey ANY laws, much less those that say they can’t be armed. In fact, if guns miraculously disappeared tomorrow, they’d find ways to kill and maim, as they did before guns were invented. (Yahoo News/AP)

Tracking Bailout Money "Difficult"

Of course it is; how else can you bilk the American people out of billions (trillions?) of dollars without being caught? The “financial meltdown” was originally designed to simply ensure the election of a Democrat president. It was started by Jimmy Carter (Democrat) and a Democrat Congress (a law to FORCE lenders to lend money they KNEW would never be repaid, on pain of law), later strengthened by another Democrat, Bill Clinton, with the agreement of another Democrat Congress, and put into action by yet another Democrat Congress, by “pulling the plug” on their “safety valve,” Fannie and Freddie (who bought up those bad loans). It worked beyond their wildest dreams, and Bush “bit,” by suggesting the $700 billion “bailout” of the financial industry, which has now become a bailout of the entire business world. What do they gain? Support from those “evil corporations” they pretend to detest, as well as getting some of that money back, putting it into their own pockets. The money is ‘difficult to trace” because they DESIGNED it that way. Now they’re gaily throwing money around to everybody who supports them, and none who don’t. Bankers did, auto makers didn’t (until they saw they must to get any money). The whole system is designed to keep people from ever finding all the money that has been “thrown around.” (Money News)

Al-Jazeera in America

The photo caption in a recent news magazine said, "Washington-based Al Jazeera anchors Ghida Fakhry [An apt name. -RT] and Dave Marash are assisted with their microphones as they prepare for a live news bulletin on the first day of Al Jazeera's International English language service from Washington November 15, 2006. Arabic television station Al Jazeera launched an English-speaking channel on Wednesday to report world news from a Middle East perspective and challenge the dominance of Western media." "World news from a Middle-Eastern perspective." What does that mean? It means anti-West, pro-terrorist propaganda, and now emanating from an American base. They think they're going to "challenge the dominance of Western media." Didn't "Air America" try to do that before they went bankrupt? Any cable company that carries this propaganda machine should have its collective head examined.(Reuters)

Recipe for GOP Success

One News Now goes on and on about how the GOP can regain their former prominence: "A House Republican leader says the only way his party can find its 'way out of the wilderness' is to renew its commitment to a strong defense, limited government, and traditional moral values." That’s the long way of saying they need to run as “proud conservatives,” and govern that way when they get elected. Reagan did, and he won TWICE in two landslides. He had one of the most successful presidencies in recent years (no matter what the Democrats say). He lowered taxes and almost DOUBLED the “tax take.” He destroyed communism in the Soviet Union. How much more can Republicans ignore this and pretend to be Democrats (They call it “centrist”)? They need to be what they ARE, and demand that DEMOCRATS “reach across the aisle.” That’s the way to WIN elections. (One News Now)

Playing the "Race Card"

The Illinois official Blogojevich appointed to replace Barack Obama is now “playing the race card” as if the ONLY reason why Congress would refuse to seat him is because he’s black (How stupid is THAT?). But that crap doesn’t work any more, now that we have a black president. Apparently he thinks since it has worked before, it’ll work in his case. I don’t think so. I don’t care if he’s PURPLE. If Blogo appointed him out of spite, he should not be seated, and I’d say that, no matter what color he is. Actually, I’m INSULTED by his attempt. I’m not stupid enough to buy that crap. Yes, he’s as “qualified” as Obama was, but his appointment is in question, not because he’s black, but because he was appointed by a governor who is “under a cloud.” (Did Burris win the auction Blago was holding for the seat?) Is Burris really so stupid as to think people will believe this? This country is way beyond that. But apparently Burris isn't smart enough to know that. If they can prove nothing against Blago, there should be no reason not to seat him. (World Net Daily)

Stock Response

Politicians are well known for ignoring the voters after they get elected. Mostly they do it by hiring a bunch of clerks to read their mail and sending back a form letter than does NOT address the concerns in the voter’s letter and counting the letter answered. That’s why I never bother to send letters or e-mails to politicians, nor call them on the phone. They also have people to answer phones and “deal” with callers. The politicians never get to hear what the voter says. He/she only gets a “synopsis” for or against an issue. If you have a specific concern, he/she never knows it. (Just common sense)

Stealing an Election

Al Franken lost in Minnesota until they “discovered” new votes, most of which were for him. But the very amount of “typos” dwarfs the number ever found before, in ANY state election: "As the inestimable economist John Lott pointed out, the ‘corrections’ in the Senate race generated more new votes for Franken than all the votes added by corrections in every race in the entire state -- presidential, congressional, state house, sanitation commissioner and dogcatcher -- combined." And nobody seems to care. Not on the Democrat side, anyway. Franken knows “the fix is in” because he is acting like the “senator-elect” and is confidently predicting victory. Maybe because he provided the necessary number of new votes. They SAID Bush stole the 2000 election, but he didn’t. He merely insisted the law be followed. Franken is insisting it NOT be followed if it wins him the seat. The biggest joke around is if this incompetent comedian becomes a senator. (Human Events)

Pakistani Confesses Mumbai Attack

That’s a PAKISTANI, not Pakistan. Just as most of the 9/11 attackers were from Saudi Arabia. It is not the country from whence they came that is important; it is the people involved. Two suspects are in custody in Pakistan, and are said to be members of Lashkar-e-Taiba, a “banned” militant group SAID to have been started by Pakistani intelligence agents to battle Indian-rule in Kashmir, a Himalayan region claimed by Pakistan and India (they have been banned in Pakistan). Of course, none of this has been proven yet, and hopefully these men will not be used as “scapegoats” by India with a case based on rumor and innuendo. If they’re guilty, and it is PROVEN, they should be speedily put to death. (Yahoo News/AP)

One Picture

It really amazes me how Michael Ramirez, editorial cartoonist for the Investor’s Business Daily can say so much in one cartoon. The one linked below puts AlGore’s swindle about global warming in its place. (Michael Ramirez/IBD Editorials)

"Experience Issues"

The liberals are saying both Sarah Palin and (Princess) Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg have “experience issues.” But that’s a load. (Princess) Caroline does. She’s never done ANYTHING beyond lending her name to charities; something most rich people do so they can THINK they’re doing something important with their idle time. Sarah, on the other hand, has been a councilperson, a mayor, and subsequently a governor and in charge of billions of tax dollars, which she has managed well. They’re a “bit miffed” that Princess Caroline wants the “family seat” in Washington after Hillary vacates it. But they’re still LIVID at Sarah because she’s an unashamed conservative who would have won the presidential election EASILY if she had not been “pulled down” by a “wishy-washy” Republican in name only, John McCain. Update: The Democrats seem to have decided to give "Princess Caroline" the "family seat" anyway, in spite of her "experience issues." Seems like the only "experience" required for that seat is your name being Kennedy or Clinton. (Just common sense)

Let 'Em Die

If you’re not a trained medical person, and you see somebody in a burning car, do you pull them out or just let them die? The latter, according to California law today. When I was a paramedic, EVERYBODY who tried to help someone in such circumstances were covered by the “Good Samaritan Law.” So nobody had to worry about being sued if they saved someone’s life, but left them paralyzed in the process. So now more people who aren’t medical professionals will NOT help those in distress, for fear of being sued. I predict the number of people who die in such cases will increase exponentially in the future. (Common Sense)

Recession Has Two Causes

“Lack of “consumer confidence” and the government printing money with nothing valuable behind it. It’s “just paper.” Lack of consumer confidence is simply, people AFRAID money will soon be in short supply and holding onto theirs, creating a “self-fulfilling prophecy.” Money then DOES become “in short supply” because they’re holding onto theirs. Then the government starts “printing money,” making every dollar already in existence worth less. It is, in effect, the government STEALING your money. Eventually, the “free market” brings things back to normal and politicians blame the “wage-price spiral” where workers discover their money doesn’t buy as much as it did and demand more money. Then their employers raise their prices and EVERYBODY pays more for EVERYTHING, causing yet another demand for higher wages, making everybody pay more for products, etc., etc. The “wage-price spiral” is a SYMPTOM of recession, not the cause. (Yahoo News/AP)

Taxing "Cow Farts"

The EPA has “defined” cow farts as “pollution” and at least one state is taxing cow farts. How they do it is to levy a tax on each animal on a farm while “estimating” how much gas each emits each day, which forms the basis of their “animal fart” tax. What about HUMAN farts? Are THEY pollution? How stupid is this government? Stupid enough to “define” CARBON DIOXIDE, which is ESSENTIAL to plant life, as a “pollutant” and using this As the basis for many new “pollution taxes.” The fact that without carbon dioxide we would all die doesn’t seem to be important to them. Plants “breathe it in” and exhale OXYGEN, which is essential to US. But try convincing the EPA of that! One day, the EPA will "define" BREATHING as a pollutant," and begin levying a "gas tax" on every individual living in the United States to collect it.(Just common sense)

Are They Sending A Message?

This is about Atlanta police officer Raymond s. Bunn. "Officer Raymond S. Bunn has served his community and country with a clean record for years. He now needs your support. Bunn is married with five children and cannot risk being sent to prison for crimes that he did not commit. In 2002, Bunn fired two shots at a Chevy Tahoe SUV that was trying to run him down in a parking lot. Corey Ward, the driver, was hit once and died instantly. Bunn is being charged with murder, felony murder, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, and violation of oath. Bunn was only trying to defend himself and his fellow officer.” Are the liberals trying to “send a message” that deadly force will not be allowed, even for police officers trying to do their jobs? I’d like to know what law officer Bunn violated in trying to save his own life, and that of his partner. Police procedure says this: “The regulation in effect for use of force in July 2002 for the Atlanta P.D. provided that "an employee shall only use necessary force against another person to effect an arrest, prevent an escape...or defend himself or another from physical assault." That’s what he was doing, as Border Patrol Agents Ramos and Compean were doing when they shot a smuggler in the rear end as he was escaping, and pointing something at them. Subsequently, this smuggler TESTIFIED against them at THEIR trial before being arrested later for the SAME crime. They’re now in prison for ten or more years for doing their jobs. Will this police officer be another example of how their employers will not only NOT support them, but will act AGAINST them for doing their jobs?

That Global Warming Swindle

“Lies, distortions, cover-ups and threats: It's standard operating procedure for the global warming industry: They've ruined careers, blacklisted respected scientists, and knowingly spread lies about dissenters. Global warming fanatics have even called for the imprisonment of skeptics and used government pressure to cut off rivals' funding." If their theories are so true, why do they need to do such things? Can’t AlGore’s swindle stand on its own? Or do they need to imprison skeptics as kings used to do (dictators still do)? Seems to me that if their theories were true, they’d just sit back and make their critics hang themselves. But(they know) their critics are right, and that won’t work. So they need to shut them up any way they can. This book tells you all about it and how AlGore and his accomplices have made millions promoting this swindle.(Red Hot Lies)

Perfect Truth

Some editorial cartoonists can quickly tell a lie in one picture, and others can tell the “perfect truth” the same way. Such is the case with Michael Ramirez, editorial cartoonist for the Investor’s Business Daily. In this one (December 29), he puts global warming firmly in its place. Of course, AlGore still insists that ANY extreme in temperature is "sure proof" of global warming. Boy! He sure must think we're stupid! Maybe some of us are; including George Bush, Newt Gingrich and Nancy Pelosi, among other supposedly intelligent politicians who seem to have "bought" his swindle.. (IBD Editorials/Michael Ramirez)

"Gun Control" Doesn't Work

It didn’t work in Mumbai (formerly Bombay), India where TEN people killed HUNDREDS in a country with tight gun laws. It doesn’t work in Australia, which suffered a 300% INCREASE in gun violence after effectively BANNING guns. In America, we have periodical massacres, sometimes in schools, other times in churches and colleges. Some have been done with ILLEGAL guns; others with LICENSED guns. Nothing the anti-gun freaks have tried has worked. If someone wants to go on a shooting spree, he/she always seems able to get guns, legal or not. Whatever makes politicians think that the way to self-defense is to DISARM ourselves; or that criminals, who don’t obey laws, will obey one that says they can’t be armed, I don’t know. Stupidity, maybe? If the Columbine school principal (during their massacre) had had a gun and the will to use it when he peeked around a corner and watched one of the shooters firing into a room and could have “put a couple in him,” maybe the death toll wouldn’t have been so high. In Colorado Springs at a church, it was different. There was a female parishioner there who had been asked to bring her gun to services and act as a “part-time security agent.” She shot the shooter after only two deaths. So he killed himself, knowing it was “all over.” The point is, no amount of “gun control” has EVER been able to “control” guns. So why not allow innocent people to carry guns for self-defense? Maybe violent criminals will find something else to do if they can’t be sure their intended victims aren’t armed and ready to shoot THEM. What good are “gun laws” if they can’t get rid of guns? Only violent criminals meeting guns in the hands of their intended victims will lower gun violence. That’s an absolute. (Just common sense)

"Living Constitution?"

How stupid is that? Yet, even some Supreme Court Justices believe in it, because it gives them leave to “find” new rights that aren’t there. A “Living Constitution” means we have no Constitution at all if it can be changed at will by activist judges. It’s a scam to convince people that the Constitution is no longer the basis for the law of the land, and that it can be changed at will, no matter that the Constitution itself DICTATES how it can be changed. Ignoring the Constitution is very dangerous, but our politicians (among them judges and justices) use the "Living Constitution" scam to facilitate ignoring it. (Just common sense)

Was He Under Oath?

"It's a simple question, really, and one that any 1st year journalism student should be able to come up with after reading the Obama team's report that has the stunning admission that President-elect Obama was interviewed by U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald, as was Valerie Jarrett and Rahm Emanuel. Was Obama under oath when he answered questions? If so, that would raise the stakes significantly in the ongoing Blago probe, and where the tentacles lead next. But amazingly, mainstream media seems absolutely uninterested in the question, and is perfectly content to take the Obama team's absolving itself report at face value ("We investigated ourselves and found ourselves innocent")." This is so typical of the liberal media it wouldn’t even need mentioning if people were paying attention. (Hugh Hewitt)

Loser Should Pay

One of the worst tactics used by people who just want to “bankrupt” their opponents is to sue them. Even if they KNOW they can’t win. That’s because it will usually cost their enemies a LOT of money for lawyers and court costs, even if they DO lose. That has to change. Anybody can sue for anything, even if they KNOW they can’t win. Cities across the nation are pursuing spurious suits against arms manufacturers, knowing they can’t win, but with the goal of bankrupting them. With all the trial lawyers in Congress and the bureaucracy, I don’t think it will happen in my lifetime. But it is the BEST way to get rid of “spurious suits.” (IBD Editorials)
