Where Best to Be Poor

If I were to be condemned to be “poor,” I’d rather be poor in America than in any other country in the world. People who consider themselves “poor” in America would be considered “rich” in most other countries. They did a television special on “the poor” in New York a few years ago that flopped because the pictures they took through the tenement windows showed the flickering of color television sets. Poor people don’t own color television sets. Neither do they have cars, nor their own homes. I remember a time when my own daughter told me we were “poor” because of what she had learned at school.

At the time I had three cars, color TV, an expensive model railroad layout in the basement, and many other things “poor people” do not have, including a five bedroom house where she had her own room. This is what our kids are being taught in school today. She was not “starving” in any way. It strikes me as funny that many “poor people” are fat. How could they be fat if they’re “starving?” there’s nothing wrong with being overweight, except for the health factor. But “starving people” are NOT overweight. (Walter E. Williams/Town Hall)

al Qaida is Racist

That’s what Obama is now saying. Not because they treat their women badly; not because they KILL people, just for not believing the same way they do. Not because in countries run by Muslims, other religions cannot exist (with few exceptions). In some Muslim countries, just possessing a Bible gets you a prison sentence. And it’s worse on you if you try and recruit a Muslim to your religion. And you’d better not pray unless it is to Allah. (Jonathan Turley)

Michelle "Out of Touch"

She has ALWAYS been out of touch with America and its problems. Nobody who is IN touch would show up in the Gulf wearing a “designer dress” with what looks like oil splotches all over it. She says “there are beaches not spoiled by oil, completely ignoring the fact that it is only a matter of time until they are, mostly because Obama (her husband) refused help in the early days and knows nothing about how to stop the leak while claiming (falsely) to have been “on it from day one.” Both she and her husband CLAIM to have never heard Rev. Jeremiah Wright utter an “anti-white racist remark” in the 20 years they sat ion his church and listened to him rant. I don’t believe that lie, and you shouldn’t either. (Press-Register)

George Steinbrunner Is Dead

That’s it. That’s all I’m going to say about it while the media (including Fox News) talks about it for a week, until we get tired of it. The media (including Fox) obsesses over things on a regular basis. Yes. His death is important because he was an important man. But it doesn’t require a WEEK of stories about every little thing they can uncover about his life. We’re not interested in how many times he went to the bathroom in his life, or many other trifles they will come up with to fill time. He’s dead. He was 80 years old. That’s it. That’s all that’s important. When I die (and I’m 73 years old this year) it won’t even merit a mention on the news. My family will probably even have to PAY to have my obituary appear in the newspaper (If they want it). The difference? A few billion dollars in net worth, I suppose, and the fact that I don’t own a major league baseball team. But I don’t mind. They obsess over many things. This is just the one they’re obsessing over today. This is the last thing I will say about it. (MSN)

It's Not About Race!

“This is not about race; it's about facts. Use a few of these facts the next time somebody wants to engage you in discussion about the border. Tell him you learned these things from somebody who can see Mexico from his front porch.” This article is written by a former military officer who goes armed in his own home because of all the illegal aliens coming through, some of whom will not hesitate to kill ANYBODY who gets in their way (and have). Yes, most of the illegals who come over HAPPEN to be Mexican. But Islamic terrorists use this route, too. They’re here to KILL us, no matter WHAT nationality they are. Obama wants to paint this as being “about race,” as he does everything else where people disagree with him. But it is NOT “about race.” It’s about the safety, not only of Arizona residents, but residents of the rest of the country, too. Thanks to Barry Cooper for sending this. (American Thinker/T. J. Woodard)

"I Hate all Whites! Kill Their Babies!"

That was said by a black man, a member of the "New Black Panthers," and the media doesn't care, nor cover it. What do you think would happen if Glenn Beck said that about black people? He'd be "run out of town on a rail" after being tarred and feathered. Fox would fire him. Liberals and angry black racists would scream that "that’s how ALL whites think." But meanwhile they’re criticizing US for talking about this patent black racism in an organization that has SHOWN their racism in their actions over the years. “There’s no way in hades Beck, or you, or I could say that stupid crap and walk away from it without a 5-10 year sentence. The hate crime cops would be all over us—and justly so.

But it appears that blacks can get away with it when it is directed at white devils while BHO is in da [White -RT] House.” Yes, they call themselves “The NEW Black Panthers,” suggesting the idea that the people running it are “new.” But they’re not. The PEOPLE may be “new,” but their IDEAS and PREJUDICES are NOT. Just like the people running Russia SAY they’re not communists any more. I’d say they’re not communists any LESS. Somebody needs to “rein these people in” before they hurt more people. If I had had my way into a voting place blocked by such as that Shabazz jerk (Panthers are all named Shabazz), I’d have walked right over him while holding his jewels in my fist. If he’d have touched me, he’d have gone to prison for a long time for a felony. Assault on an “at risk adult.” Unless it doesn’t count if a black man assaults an old WHITE man.

Imposing Justice

When Israel boarded that ("supply") ship heading for Gaza, all they wanted to do was inspect it to be sure it was not carrying weapons or troops to be used in attacking them as the Palestinians are known to do. They were brutally attacked and they retaliated, killing nine of the Palestinians who attacked them. The United Nations condemned them for defending themselves and Obama’s administration joined the vote to do so. Which tells me Obama and his administration are as stupid as I always thought they were. The United Nations is COMPOSED of dictators and kings who do the same things as the Palestinians do. So to me, they have NO right to condemn Israel for defending itself. Barney Frank says he is “ashamed to be a Jew” because of it. Does he think Israel should not have to right to defend itself? That just tells me he’s stupid. But I already knew that, so what else is new? (Breitbart)

America Rising

America is “rising up” and the first thing America will do is vote everybody who has supported Obama’s travesties of law out of office in November, 2010. then they will vote Obama himself out of iffice in November, 2012 (if they can't impeach him sooner), replacing him with (hopefully) Sarah Palin or Bobby Jindal, or both. The video this link leads to (today) details Obama’s crimes, except for one. His “minions” successfully got this video removed from YouTube, but it is still up on the “Power Line” blog (at least, as this is written, but I wouldn’t count on it being even there long since Obama’s censors are pretty resourceful). If you try to go there and find it gone, let me know. Thanks to Barry Cooper for sending me this. (Power Line)

Obama's "Leftward Lurch?"

Somebody’s been kidding Dick Morris if he thinks it’s a “leftward lurch.” Left is what Obama IS, and so are his accomplices. Anybody with a modicum of intelligence can see that if they’re paying attention. He speaks of “redistribution of wealth” and that is PURE socialism, no matter how much they deny reality. He has many times expressed hatred of private enterprise, and THAT is pure socialism. The liberals try to deny they are pushing socialism, but it’s becoming more and more obvious that’s what they ARE pushing. If we allow him to continue what he’s doing by not getting rid of his voting majority in the Congress, at the very first opportunity, that’s what we’re going to get. We ALREADY have a lot of it in the measures he has ALREADY passed. And he promises even more of it. (News Max)

Does N. Korea Exist?

Except for the current fight about them gaining nuclear weapons and the world fearing what they’ll do once they get them (they don’t know why), nothing much has been said about Korea in the sixty years since we fought them and China to a standstill they STILL call a win. They couldn’t beat us, and we couldn’t beat our own liberal “wimpy” politicians—something we’re facing now in Afghanistan and Iraq. In this article, Mark Holzer wonders why, and asks many good questions about it: “As of last week, sixty years have gone by since the commencement of the Korean War. However, one can find nary a mention of this landmark date anywhere in the media. Why the silence?” Why, indeed? Especially since we are facing the same thing in Iraq and Afghanistan. Will we make the same mistakes we made with regard to Korea? The same kind of people (liberal wimps) are currently in charge, so I think we will. (Henry Mark Holzer/Atlasphere)

Medicare Czar "Loves" British System

“President Obama will soon name Dr. Donald M. Berwick, an iconoclastic scholar (sic) of health policy, to run Medicare and Medicaid, the programs that serve nearly one-third of all Americans, administration officials said Saturday.” This guy has SAID he “loves” the British system that allows “old people” to die rather than spend what it would take to keep them alive. This man is about as STUPID as they come, yet Obama thinks he’s the best man to run the medical business in this country. How stupid is OBAMA? We need to get rid of this man (Obama) before he (or his subordinates, otherwise known as his accomplices) make rules that kill us all. Obama has already made rules that have killed a lot of people. The longer he is in that office, the more blood will be on his hands. Obama blames the MINORITY Republicans for his "interim appointment" (bypassing Congress) of this man, which is a LOAD of stinky brown stuff. (The Trentonian)

Jailed for Preaching Jesus to Muslims

Talk about a reversal! Try to preach ANY other religion in an Islamic-controlled country and you will be at the very least jailed for along time, or put to death—depending on which Muslim-controlled country it is. And if Christians try to preach Jesus to MUSLIMS, in the United States, THEY are jailed. Because “preaching Jesus” to Muslims might “offend” them. Frankly, this offends ME! Even though I’m not big on organized religion of ANY kind. I believe in a “superior intelligence” that orders this complicated universe, but I have no idea what form it takes. I don’t pretend to know the answers, but I don’t think jailing those who think they do is right, on either side. (Western Journalism)

I Hate All Black People!

Boy, would I be in trouble if I ever said anything like that! But this “King Samir Shabazz” guy says the same thing about white people and everybody tries to minimize it, saying it was just the act of “youthful indiscretion.” He also says we need to “kill a lot of crackers,” his word to mean white people. This is the guy who was standing in front of a polling place carrying a nightstick, intimidating voters—and which Obama’s Department of Justice will NOT prosecute because they were there in SUPPORT of Obama.

This is the kind of thing a con man like Obama thinks he can get away with. Does he really think we are that STUPID that we can’t understand what’s going on? The DOJ says “No more cases against blacks.” Soon, the jails will empty out because MOST crimes are COMMITTED by blacks. That’s not racism, that’s common sense and truth and is borne out by the figures. This is another stupid thing being done by people in Obama’s administration. (Soda Head)

Obama's "Stimulus" Has Failed

Mostly because there was NO WAY it could succeed (at least, by OUR standards)! Using tax dollars (taken from American citizens) to “stimulate” the economy doesn’t work because that does not create NEW wealth. It takes EXISTING money and redistributes it (that’s collectivism). ONLY new wealth created by the PRIVATE SECTOR can make the economy better. New wealth is created by entrepreneurs who take their own (earned) money and INVEST it in projects that both CREATE JOBS and PROFITS without taking money forcefully from others.

Of course, Obama is now trying to get a NEW “stimulus bill” passed under a new name. There have been SEVERAL “stimulus bills” passed under several different names, and NONE of them have helped a whit. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over while expecting a different outcome. That’s what Obama and his accomplices are doing. All it does is create “slush funds” he can use to give money to his friends, who have already given much money to his campaign fund. (Financial Planning)

Typical Environmentalist Fools

They can’t prove it. But they assert it. Then they say, “What if I’m right?” then say we should do some stupid things right away to “fend off” the effects of the things they can’t prove will happen, “just in case” it does. How stupid ARE these people? How stupid do they think WE are? The holes in their story are many, but they still get other fools to send them money to promote their silly theories, while others DO the stupid things they suggest. My own SON has many of those silly “compact flourscent” light bulbs and he swears by them, forgetting entirely that if he breaks ONE of them he needs to call in a “haz-mat team” for an expensive cleanup. Of course, he won’t, and might even suffer from it. I can’t prove that, but maybe he should stop using them, even if their use IS the law, “just in case.” Yes, use of incandescent bulbs HAS been banned in a few years. Just on the “off-chance” they’re bad. That’s what politicians DO: ban things THEY THINK might be “bad for us,” whether we like it or not, and whether or not they can prove it. (Common Sense/Paul Jacob)

Obama INSISTS on Doing the Wrong Thing

A judge overturned Obama’s moratorium on drilling, which was brought on by the Gulf oil spill. Obama apparently thinks ONE spill will cause a lot of others, to the extent that he must cost thousands of oil drilling workers their jobs and millions of stockholders in BP to do likewise. Look at your own retirement plan. I’d be willing to BET that YOU hold BP stock in your portfolio. Obama has pledged to “appeal” the rejection of his stupidity. Gad, I can’t WAIT until we can get rid of this ignorant jerk! (World News Vine)

Four Justices Can't Read

The Supreme court just affirmed the right of Americans to “keep and bear arms” but four justices think this does not include HANDguns. Where, in that short, very clear Amendment to the United States Constitution does it say “only long guns are covered?” They’ve tried the “militia” scam and that didn’t work. Now they’re trying to say the government CAN ban HANDGUNS. And predictably, the four LIBERAL justices agreed. So the argument continues over what KIND of guns can be carried while criminals continue to kill innocent people with the guns they carry ILLEGALLY and stupid politicians think we can defend ourselves by DISARMING ourselves. (Jacob Sullum/Town Hall)

"From Day One"

That has been Obama’s mantra about his response to the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, and likewise the mantra of all his mouthpieces. There’s one problem: it isn’t true. It’s a typical Obama lie, told to cover the fact that it was more than FIFTY DAYS before he made a meaningful trip down there to see things first-hand. It’s yet another example of the liberal use of Goebbel’s (Hitler’s PR man) system: “Tell a lie. Tell it often to as many people as will listen. Soon it will become truth, and those who believe it will fight you if you try and set them straight.” You should remember that every time you hear the “from day one” lie. And you will hear it, often, from Obama and everybody who wishes to fool you into believing Obama has been “on top of this” since the beginning. The truth is, he waited, hoping it would “go away.” It didn’t. So he found it necessary to convince the world he was “right on it” from the beginning. (Fox News)

"From Day One"

Those are the “code words” Obama and all his accomplices are chanting to make you think they were in the Gulf of Mexico right away when BP’s well exploded. They weren’t. Not in any HELPFUL way. All they’ve done is get in the way. Thirteen countries have offered help (proven help) and have been rebuffed because of a 1920s law made to protect union members in this country. A law that is easily “set aside” in an emergency, and has been in the past (Bush did it in 4 days after Katrina and it toiiok Obama 70 days after the Gulf spill). Now they’re using the term in other ways, and are lying every time they use it. They refused to use things that were right here in this country and things Governor Bobby Jindal wanted to use. He also was rebuffed. They SAY they know how to stop the leak, but they don’t. And they won’t allow anybody else to stop it, either. Especially if that person is a Republican, as is Jindal. (Just common sense)

Capitalism Made Us Great

Does anybody wonder why in less than 300 years this country has outstripped civilizations that have been in existence for THOUSANDS of years? It’s CAPITALISM; that “terrible system” liberals hate so much. The system they’re continually trying to undermine and replace with collectivism (socialism, communism, fascism, progressivism, or whatever other name they come up with to confuse us), a failed system that DEPENDS on the profits made by capitalists to have any money and property out there to steal and “redistribute.” Russian communism, their first “showcase” in the recent world, collapsed under its own weight after 70 some years, while the communist dictator of the time told his friends not to worry, that the collapse of communism is “just a ploy” to fool those capitalist idiots.

Meanwhile, countries under capitalism flourished until the socialists in our own government succeeded in subverting it with the "Citizen's Reinvestment Act of 1976." Yes, Russia IS “no longer” a communist country, but it IS still a SOCIALIST country, ruled and run by the SAME PEOPLE, who just SAY they’re “not communists any more.” But the only difference between communism and socialism is “cosmetic.” They think we don’t know that; and, for the most part, they’re right. Those who “pay no attention to politics” don’t know that. Those of us who DO, know it. (John Stossel/Human Events)
