"A Chip on His Shoulder"

Yes, a cartoonist did a cartoon in the New York Times showing a monkey being shot as a metaphor for the “monkeys” in Congress who passed Obama’s “stimulus swindle” without ever reading it (This was the week after a monkey WAS shot by police after he attacked his owner’s friend and a police officer). To view this as racist (as race-baiter Al Sharpton does) is ample evidence that people like him have a “chip on their shoulders” and are trying HARD to convince the rest of us that “racism is still rampant in the land” by “finding” racism where it is not (It's funny that no one else saw it that way until Sharpton told them to do so). If you spend all your time HUNTING for racism because that’s your “stock in trade” and has made you millions of dollars, you can find it, even if you have to “parse” every statement (visually OR in print) to find it. (Just common sense)

Silencing the Opposition

"For as long as I can remember," says Ann Coulter in her Foreword to one of her books, "liberals have been running around in a state of indignation, shouting that the government is being taken over by a dangerous band of religious fanatics who want to abolish the First Amendment, establish a national religion, force their bizarre sexual morality on children in public schools, rewrite the nation's laws to enforce their personal moral preferences, and punish anyone who dissents from their views." It’s true; but it isn’t the conservatives doing it. It’s the liberals. And predictably, they blame the conservatives for doing what THEY’RE doing themselves. (Ann Coulter)

One of the Best

History professors have named George Bush the “seventh worst president in history.” Congrats, George; being named the worst by today’s historians means you were one of the BEST. I wonder where they placed Reagan; first? Republican presidents are routinely hated and low-rated among history professors so we can usually tell who the greatest were by how low the historians rate them. (Ann Coulter)

Lying to Congress

Obama spent a long time the other night lying to Congress. But he won’t face any charges because (most of) Congress didn’t realize he was lying to them. Neither did “Obama lovers,” of which there are still many, including even my own nephew, who sat, listened, and nodded his head at every lie because he hasn’t been on this Earth long enough to understand how he is being conned. Even my other nephew was convinced, although he didn’t vote in the last election. My sister wants to see my “dissection” of Obama’s speech, but that’s not going to happen. “Dissecting” the speech, point by point, requires the listener understand the points I’m making, and if they don’t, my “dissection” will go right over their heads. They need to understand what socialism (collectivism) is, and how it is bad; how it will ruin their lives, and that of their descendants. If they want a country like Russia was under the “Union of Soviet SOCIALIST Republics” OR UNDER THE Nazi “National SOCIALISTS” in Germany—or NOW under Hugo Chavez in Central America, let them continue to proudly “not pay attention to politics,” looking away while the government “picks their pockets.” My sister understands, but she isn’t yet ready to answer the scams of the liberals and their dupes. She isn’t yet familiar with their scams and schemes, used to divert arguments so they don’t have to actually ANSWER pertinent questions, but can win debates anyway. She doesn’t yet know how to answer their diversions and name-calling. At least, she knows not to vote for this “Hitler-like” cult personality who has mesmerized way too many people with his “double-talk.” (Just common sense)

Obama's "Private Army"

OBAMA’S “PRIVATE ARMY”: Joseph Farah, publisher of World Net Daily, says, "With all the reporters covering the major presidential candidates, it amazes me no one ever seems to ask the right questions. For several days now, WND has been hounding Barack Obama's campaign [Apparently without result. –RT] about a statement he made July 2 in Colorado Springs – a statement that blew my mind, one that has had me scratching my head ever since. In talking about his plans to double the size of the Peace Corps and nearly quadruple the size of AmeriCorps and the size of the nation's military services, he made this rather shocking (and chilling) pledge: 'We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.' " Sounds like a “private army” to me. One not under, nor controlled by, the military, and answerable only to the president. Nothing in the liberal media. (World New Daily) (Update)

What Happened to Ken Hamblin?

Sometime about 1988, long-time Denver area radio host and newspaper columnist Ken Hamblin, the self-styled “Black Avenger,” who was loved by many in the black community and hated by others because he wasn’t afraid to criticize black leaders for their “race pandering” that told people (falsely) that racism was still rampant in the land, disappeared. His newspaper columns stopped; his radio programs “went away.” And no one was willing to talk about it. At about the same time his web site disappeared. What happened? I haven’t seen, nor heard from, or about him since. I’d like to know what happened to him. Was he murdered by those who didn’t like his “message” or the way he delivered it? Or did he just retire and go somewhere else? (Ask.com)

"A Republic--If You Can Keep It"

That was Benjamin Franklin’s answer when asked if we had a republic or a monarchy. Which means we have to be constantly vigilant, lest someone steal it from us--as Obama is doing today. He sold America on his “stimulus swindle” by telling us it was necessary to pass it into law NOW, without our representatives (who voted it in) even getting a chance to READ its 1,100 pages. When they do, they’ll find some interesting things: Such as $30 million to preserve the salt marsh harvest mouse; $650 million for digital converter boxes (something we wouldn’t need if they had not DECREED that we had to start broadcasting ONLY digitally immediately without "phasing it in" over a period of time) and $400 million to fund educational programs about sexually transmitted diseases (which are adequately funded elsewhere). Then it provided Austin, Texas with a Frisbee park; Shreveport, Louisiana with three aquatic centers, complete with water slides; and Chula Vista, California with a new leash-free dog park.

Is THIS your idea of things to “stimulate” the economy? No; it is a number of “pork projects” the Democrats couldn’t get passed before, so they stuck it in this swindle package. Other things they have in the works are: controlling the Census, and with it congressional redistricting (to create more Democrat elected officials), more spending bills and higher taxes, expanded powers with labor unions through Card Check (getting rid of secret ballots in deciding whether or not to unionize, so they can intimidate the workers into voting them in), and a plan to silence talk radio with the Fairness Doctrine (whatever they call it). Sounds to me like they are “consolidating their power.” This is reminiscent of Germany after Adolph Hitler was ELECTED Chancellor and slowly, but surely consolidated his power until he was an undisputed dictator and could kill ANYBODY who disagreed with him at will. He has been praised by Democrats for getting this enormous spending bill passed within three weeks of taking office, and rightly so (in their minds). He has turned out to be the biggest swindler ever and the Democrats love that. Second only to him is AlGore (another liberal Democrat) and his “global warming” swindle.(info from Reagan.org)

Big Emergency, Big Swindle

"The big story last week was the incredible congressional rush to pass a bill that was more than a thousand pages long in just two days — after which it sat on the president's desk for three days while the Obamas were away on a holiday." (Investor's Business Daily) That’s how Obama swindled this country out of almost a trillion DOLLARS. He released the 1,100 page bill the night before the vote was scheduled, then INSISTED they vote without having read it. So what’s the difference: they do that all the time. I doubt our legislators read ANY of the bills they vote into law which means the only people who know what’s in it are those who snuck their own “wishes” (that they couldn’t get approved any other way) into the bill, just before it was printed and released; or after. We need a law forcing the legislators to READ the bills they vote in or be impeached. But don’t look for that to happen any time soon, because that would be forcing THEMSELVES to read the bills they pass. As with banning pay raise bills when we’re in money trouble, they’re not going to do it. (IBD Editorials)

We Can't Win in Iraq!

But we can in Afghanistan. What’s the difference? Because Obama SAYS we can, tha’ss why! He and his henchmen preached failure in Iraq for years while they were trying to regain control of this government. Now that they have it, they say we can win in Afghanistan. How long before we’re asked to forget them saying we can’t win in Iraq as they “beef up” our troops there, too late? (Yahoo News)

It's Different Now

When the original “fairness doctrine” was imposed upon us the only way radio commentators could “get the word out” was “over the airwaves,” which the government controlled. Now, there are many more ways to do it, some the government, under current law, CANNOT CONTROL. One is broadcasting on the Internet. The other is through newsletters, both online free (ad supported) and print, for money. They can also do it on cable television, which the government still has not figured out a way to control. If they had, there would be no Fox News because they truly DO tell “both sides,” which infuriates liberals. They probably have more liberals on their payroll than do CBS, ABS, or NBC, and PBS (especially PBS) which are PROVEN to be mostly liberal and DO NOT “tell both sides,” though they insist they do. They should be careful what they wish for, because a “fairness doctrine” can work both ways, forcing THEM to give FREE TIME to conservatives to counter THEIR ideas whenever voiced on the air. Still, it will destroy AM radio because those conservative opinion shows are the only INTERESTING thing on AM. Liberal attempts to start “talk shows” having predictably failed with a regularity beyond belief because nobody is interested in hearing their drivel. Even if they DO manage to get it passed, then they have to figure out how to ENFORCE it, since there are so MANY different opinions it’s hard to put them into one or two niches. (Just common sense)

It's NOT A Tax Cut!

"Apparently the Obama Administration is not happy about how a major portion of their economic stimulus package is being covered. The Atlantic reports that the White House has been pointing out to journalists that President Barack Obama signed "one of the largest tax cuts in history." But just because the Obama Administration calls something a tax cut, doesn't make it so. More than a third of Obama's "Making Work Pay" tax plan goes to people who do not pay income taxes. That makes it a welfare income redistribution plan, not a tax cut. That is why, after President Obama told House Republicans he would not compromise in any way on his tax plan, he lost the entire caucus." (Heritage Foundation) Of course, he’ll blame it on Republicans when his “stimulus package” doesn’t “stimulate” anything and, in fact, makes things worse. (Just common sense)

Jimmy Carter's Mouth Again

Democrat Jimmy Carter was one of the worst presidents in modern history, Bill Clinton (Democrat) notwithstanding. Under Carter, we had hundreds of embassy people in Iran taken captive and the "operation" to rescue them not only came to naught, it cost us lives and millions of dollars in equipment, while causing America much embarrassment. Inflation went into double figures, mortgage rates were sky-high, gold went to more tan $8 an ounce (a record high for the time), and fuel prices went MUCH higher (in the dollars of the time) than they are today. The economy was AWFUL, and it was left to Republican Ronald Reagan (Ford was a "nothing" president) to straighten things out and bring the numbers back under control. Since then, he's been "monitoring" elections incompetently, proclaiming election "steals" all over the world as ""honest elections," while condemning a REAL honest election, the one that elected George Bush, as "stolen." (Funny. It was Democrat officials who controlled that election.) Yet today he still goes around the world criticizing his betters. Most ex-presidents keep their mouths shut, out of respect for the office. But Jimmy, being the "king" of the "Bush-haters," does not. His facts are as wrong as they can get (He says Israel has no "moral or legal justification" for their bombing of Lebanon, never mind the bombing of Israel FROM Lebanon by Hamas), but that does not stop his big mouth from "running on." (Jimmy Carter, in Spiegel)

Muslim Extremists Using Our Courts

They’re using them to silence dissent. And the stupid judges in those courts are letting them get away with it. Joe Kaufman writes for Front Page Magazine and for his own web sites, exposing the TRUTH about Muslim extremists and extremist groups. They don’t like that. So they go to court and get “restraining orders” stifling free speech. The fact that those “restraining orders” are unconstitutional under the First Amendment doesn’t seem to faze anyone; least of all the ignorant judges who issue them. "Seven Muslim groups claim that Joe is a threat. They convinced a court that Joe 'intends to threaten to take unlawful action...cause bodily injury...or threaten Plaintiffs or their members with immediate bodily injury.' [Which he did not. -RT] On those grounds the court imposed a restraining order on him. And they are suing Joe for defamation to stop him from writing about Muslims in the future and to close down his web sites." (Front Page Magazine) They’re certainly not worried about Joe hurting them physically. The REAL purpose of this is to SHUT HIM UP. To keep him from exposing what they do. And these ignorant, unnamed judges are helping them do it. I don’t have extra money to send them, but maybe you do. SOMEBODY needs to help them fight this before the Islamic terrorists shut us ALL up, then kill us. (Front Page Magazine)

Stimulate THIS!

"A panel of three unelected judges wants to release up to 57,000 prisoners to relieve overcrowding in California jails. Can't we just include prison construction in the stimulus package?" (Investor’s Business Daily) 57,000 criminals let loose on society because Obama didn’t think to add prison construction to his “stimulus swindle! Wouldn’t it be much easier to build more prisons than release convicted criminals back into society early? It’s getting to the point where criminals know they’ll be released early, so why stay away from crime. Add to that, the fact that Democrats (liberals) supply them with all the unarmed victims they need, and you have a society that is “good” to criminals. (IBD Editorials)

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)
