"Pass It to See What's In It"

This is the second time we’ve heard this nonsense just recently. You don’t PASS a bad law just to see what’s in it. Who do they think they’re fooling? You read the bill BEFORE it’s passed so you know what’s in it BEFORE passing it and inflicting it on an unsuspecting nation. Congresspeople who vote in laws they have not read should be removed from office and imprisoned for dereliction of their duty and violation of their oaths. Any member of Congress who ADMITS to not reading the bills they pass into law should be SUMMARILY removed from office and run out of town on a rail after being tarred and feathered. Part of the scam being run by the White House and the rest of the liberal politicians is coming up with multi-thousand page bills NOBODY wants to read. They don’t NEED to be that big. (Rush Limbaugh)

Drilling in ANWR

The liberals want you to believe ANWR is a lush, warm, lovely place where lots of people live, and that drilling in the small “postage-sized” part of it DESIGNATED for drilling. Not so. It is unpopulated tundra, all but uninhabitable to humans. Drilling there will not appreciably damage ANYTHING there and any “damage” would be temporary and easy to reverse. The difficulty of stopping the oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico is because they were FORCED to drill that far out, and that deep by the government’s “environmental restrictions” on drilling anywhere else. Had we been able to drill closer in, and less deep, any spill would have been minimal and easy to stop. Why does nobody talk about this?” Because then we would be able to put the blame directly where it belongs: on this government and their “environmental restrictions.” (“Thought You Should Know”)

How Stupid ARE They?

I get very angry at all the liberal bozos that get all “concerned” about how we “treat” Islamic prisoners who were caught on the field of battle trying to kill Americans for not believing in Islam—or THEIR VERSION of Islam. I learned everything I needed to know about them on Sept. 11, 2001. These people would kill those people as well as you and I just as soon as they see them. Why they are “concerned” about our “treatment” of such people is beyond me. I guess I just don’t think the same way they do. And I don’t WANT to. They’re STUPID. Not ignorant, STUPID. Maybe we should find them all and turn them loose in a room with a bunch of those Islamic extremist prisoners. See how long they’d last. I have no brief for the Islamic religion because I don’t like its teachings. But if they leave me alone, I’ll leave them alone. Only problem is, Islamic extremists use this religion as an excuse to kill people. For that, I’ll kill them if I find them and they try to kill me. (C-TV)

Senator Byrd Dies

Good riddance. It’s people like him who take a long time to die. Maybe there’s something to that old saw about “being too evil to die.” The people of the State of West Virginia have much to answer for in that they inflicted this monster upon us for so long, KNOWING he was a former top-ranking member of the Ku Klux Klan and a racist bigot, apt to foment laws and regulations inimical to freedom. He is best known for the “pork” he has brought to his state and the many things he thus has named after him in that state. In W. Virginia, you can’t drive a mile without seeing something with his name on it. As a member of the Klan, there’s no telling how many people’s deaths for which he is responsible.

In 1944, he wrote to racist Senator Theodore Bilbo (D-MS) that said, “I shall never fight in the armed forces with a Negro by my side ... Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds.” They SAY he was no longer a racist, but I submit that “once a racist, always a racist,” though it was good for his career to hide it in his later life. Remember, he FILIBUSTERED the Equal Rights Amendment and voted AGAINST it. Though later on, he SEEMED to be moving in another direction, conveniently. It is common to “eulogize” people when they die, but some do not deserve it. Byrd was such a man. I make no apologies for “saying something bad about the dead.” (Town Hall would not publish this with the word "negro" included. I guess they're too "PC") (Fox Business)

"Respect for the Office"

Many people say we should have “respect for the office if not for the man in it.” I disagree. With a man like Obama sitting in the Oval Office, the office deserves NO respect. His insistence on “dissing” Israel, which is only defending itself, which it has a right to, do is but one example of his idiocy while holding this office. Then there is his insistence on destroying the economy of the Gulf of Mexico area by banning all drilling because of an accident at one well. An accident made impossible by federal regulations forcing them to drill so far out and so deep. I have no respect for the man, OR the office as long as he is in it. This man is not just a bad president, he is a DISASTER for this country. He not only GETS no respect, he is DUE none. (Soda Head)

Drug War Makes It Worse

Let me say first thing that I am NOT a “druggie.” I’m probably the only person in the country who doesn’t even know what pot TASTES like, though after 18 years as a paramedic, I certainly know what it SMELLS like. Many of the people I scraped off the sidewalk and the street were there because of one drug or another, from pot right on up. But I have to ask a simple question: “What GOOD has the “drug war” done?” How many people are abusing drugs today as opposed to the number using BEFORE the “drug war” started? MORE. Which shows me the “drug war” is useless as a deterrent to illicit drug use, but a “handy tool” for cops and politicians to use in taking away our rights.

As witness the RICO laws, DESIGNED to stop cash-flush drug dealers from making federal prosecutors look silly in court, which, in itself is unconstitutional. Today, cops can stop you on the street with NO warrant, search you, steal any cash you have on you, only having to say “It MUST be drug money.” All this because of the “drug war.” Laws against drug use do NOTHING to stop, or even REDUCE access to illicit drugs, so why do we keep making them? It has been said, “Doing the same thing over and over while expecting a different result is insanity.” Yet our politicians insist on doing just that, with both drugs AND guns. (John Stossel/Town Hall)

No Budget This Year

Steny Hoyer (D-Md) will soon announce this. This departure is because they don’t want there to be any RECENT memory of a tax increase (which is coming) during the 2010 election. They hope that will make their losses smaller. They don’t think we will notice this. They’re already crowing about “not ALL incumbents losing.” As if it WERE all about incumbents, as they want you to believe. It’s not about “incumbents.” It's about those who voted for the health care swindle bill and the other socialist advancements. In any case, they only won the DEMOCRAT primaries. Wait until the REAL election in November. Those Democrats who won in the DEMOCRAT primaries will lose BIG in November when they have to run against Republicans. (The Hill)

Freedom of the Press

Obama is talking about “subsidizing” (“bailing out”) the news organizations that are now going broke from parroting Obama’s bullsh-t. Neither he, nor the media itself will admit the REAL reason they’re going broke, but if he succeeds in “subsidizing” (bailing out) the media, the “regulations” will soon follow. Among them will be thinly disguised “guidelines” forcing them to stop allowing ANYTHING that doesn’t agree with him. Count on it. when that happens, you can kiss freedom goodby. (Town Hall/Dick Morris, Eileen McGann)

McChrystal Is Right

Everybody except Gen. McChrystal’s staff say he showed a ”lack of judgment” in the remarks he made to that “Rolling Stones” reporter. I don’t think so. He knew exactly what he was doing. He was frustrated by the similarity in Obama’s policies to that displayed by the liberals who caused us to lose the Viet Nam war and wanted to make sure his name would NEVER be associated with it when these idiots finally cause us to lose the war on terrorism. He had his resignation in hand when he confronted Obama. In any case, he’s right to call them “those wimps in Washington.” They ARE wimps. The only thing they’re good at is conning themselves into power. Unfortunately when they get there, they have no idea how to proceed and screw EVERYTHING up, as they are doing now. (Just common sense)

We Know Whose Butt to Kick

Obama spoke very thuggishly recently about finding out whose butt to kick. Well, we know whose butt NEEDS kicking, not just about the oil spill and the complete lack of competence Obama has shown in figuring out how to stop it. That includes refusing offers both from other countries, as well as from right here in America while doing everything he can (such as imposing a six-month’s ban on deep water drilling, now judged unconstitutional) to make things worse, both for the oil leak, and for the people already suffering from it. (Town Hall)

Obama Is No Fool

“Rahm Emanuel cynically said, ‘You never want a crisis to go to waste.' It is now becoming clear that the crisis he was referring to is Barack Obama's presidency. Obama is no fool. He is not incompetent. To the contrary, he is brilliant. He knows exactly what he's doing. He is purposely overwhelming the U.S. economy to create systemic failure, economic crisis and social chaos -- thereby destroying capitalism and our country from within.” Obama is a saboteur who is out to destroy capitalism as an economic system in this country and force it to join the rest of the failed socialist states still in existence, while being propped up by those that still have money. And he’s doing an excellent job of it. Help us get rid of his voting majority in the Congress in November. If you don’t, you deserve what you’ll get. I won’t have to live through much of it, but my kids and grandchildren will. That is a tragedy. (Wayne Allen Root/Las Vegas Review-Journal)

Congressman Assaults Student

All the kid wanted was the answer to a question. He was not “confronting” this congressman in any way, and he did NOT “refuse to identify himself” as the liberal media is claiming. He simply asked his congressman a simple question which he could have easily answered with one word (something that comes hard to a congressman). Instead, he assaulted this kid. This kind of arrogance is not to be tolerated by our employees; people we have hired to represent us. This is not North Korea, where an “average citizen” (otherwise known as a “serf”) dare not approach one of his “rulers” wielding a “flip-phone.”

In fact, there he is not even allowed to HAVE a cell phone. These Democrats are scared to death of Americans who speak up. They actually BELIEVE the crap their party puts out about “Tea Party people” being violent. This, of course, ignores the fact that there has been NO violence connected to the “Tea Party movement” except maybe for that created by the SEIU union thugs sent out by Obama. They’re very upset that maybe the source for this is their “arch-enemy,” Breitbart, one who is very effective in bringing the truth to America (who only came into it later). That’s why they hate and fear him. (Breitbart)

The Useless "Drug War"

Yes, it’s “useless.” Unless you’re a cop or government agent who wants to steal as much as you can without getting in trouble yourself. Then it’s VERY useful because it prompted the enactment of the RICO laws, which are unconstitutionally DESIGNED to keep “rich” drug dealers from hiring expensive lawyers who can, and do, make federal lawyers look stupid, which many of them are. Every American, drug dealer or not, has a RIGHT to the best representation they can find, or afford (and until they're convicted, they aren't drug dealers). To have a law that stops them from using their money for their own defense is UNCONSTITUTIONAL. This useless drug war has enabled the government to do many other things they could not do without it. The number of people who abuse drugs today EXCEEDS that who were abusing drugs when the “drug war” started. Of what use is it? It certainly doesn’t stop determined drug users from obtaining their illicit drugs and all it does is make it EASIER for them to do so while giving the government an excuse to destroy more of our rights “to fight the drug war, dontcha know.”

It also enriches the “drug lords” and everyone else in the “supply line,” which it would not do if users could get their drugs at the drug store without the high price they have to pay drug pushers (who work hard to ensnare CHILDREN in their “web.” Not only that, the government, which works overtime to find new things to tax, could skim off a lot of the profits if this were legal, as are cigarettes. I have two children who were drawn into the “drug scene” and they’re both now dead. So don’t be stupid and accuse me of being “in favor” of drugs. We should have learned from prohibition that banning something adults are determined to use will only enrich criminals--and it does NOT work. But don’t expect our politicians to understand this. They’ve proven their inability to understand the simplest things. (John Stossel/The Atlasphere)

How It Is In School

This is pretty much how it is in school these days. If you have a pulse, you pass the course, and get a diploma. Of course, the fact you can’t even read the diploma doesn’t seem to matter much to anybody except you, when you try to do the job you’re hired to do, based on the fact you have that diploma. That will all come to a stop when employers begin to realize having a diploma doesn’t mean you ever learned anything. When that happens maybe schools will stop teaching politically correct things and go back to teaching real subjects. But don’t look for that to happen any time soon. One thing liberals are good at is coming up with good-sounding excuses for their stupidities. (Mallard Fillmore)

"It's A Shakedown!

Joe Barton (R-TX) is right, no matter how much Democrats and RINOs complain. Obama does not have the power to DEMAND that BP “set aside” $20 billion dollars, which HE (Obama) will control to pay off the people who Obama “deems” to have been hurt by the Gulf Oil Spill. Not because I have any brief for BP. They screwed up, and should have to pay the bill when it comes due. But BP should control the payoffs, not little mister B. O. Another thing: BP should retain the right to “write off” what it’s costing them to clean up the spill because those taxes are on money they DID NOT KEEP. They should not have to pay taxes on top of that. There’s talk on CNN that they should be forced to PAY these taxes on money they did not earn and did not get to keep. The CEO of BP underwent an “inquisition” the other day, answering many questions with “I don’t know.” Which is not surprising. He is not involved in the “day-to-day” workings of BP oil drilling, and should NOT be. He’s the “BIG boss,” not a local “straw boss.” He has “people” who should know all those things. (J. E. Dyer/Hot Air)

Stupid Politicians

Have you ever heard of the “Jones Act?” Probably not, and probably you WILL not hear about it from the liberal media, this law prevents us from using foreign technology contained on foreign ships. The Jones Act requires that “all goods transported by water between U. S. ports be carried in U. S. flag ships, constructed in the United States, owned by U. S. citizens and U. S. permanent residents.” This law was passed to “protect” American shipping interests and could be waived in an emergency by the president. It has been waived in the past. All Obama has to do is officially “waive” it and we could take advantage of proven new technology that is being used in foreign countries. But as this is written, he has not. What’s WRONG with this man? Is he STUPID, or just obtuse? Or does he just not care, despite his protestations and expressions of anger? (Wikipedia)

"They'd Be There Stopping It"

“Let's also stipulate, as T. Boone Pickens said on Larry King Live last night, if anyone knew how to stop this thing, they'd be in there doing it.” But they aren’t, because Obama won’t let them. There have been several offers from people with PROVEN methods of stopping such things as the Gulf oil spill and they have been refused, for various reasons. In one case an offer came from a foreign country that has been dealing with such deep-water spills for years, but it was refused because of a 1920 law (The Jones Act) enacted to PROTECT mariners. One that can be waived in an emergency, and which WAS waived by Obama’s chief object of blame, George Bush. In another case, Obama just didn’t know about a supply of oil blocking booms stored in a warehouse—mostly because he wasn’t TOLD about them. “Then, let's stipulate that no one in U.S. Government - the Congress or the Administration - provided any oversight to the oil companies as they set about drilling deeper and deeper wells, with less and less technology or engineering data to support it.” They didn’t “provide oversight” because they were paid off. “Business as usual” in Washington. (Rich Galen/Town Hall)

It's Never Enough

No matter how much the media fawns on Obama, it’s never enough. He will always pick out the ONE, solitary report that is “mildly critical” of him and castigate the writer. The only reason he doesn’t normally do that with people like me, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity. Glenn Beck, and the like is that he expects critical writing from us. Once in a while, he DOES “get enough of it” and does criticize us, whining like a baby because we just “don’t understand what he’s tying to do.” His problem really is, we DO “understand what he’s trying to do, all too well. And that irritates him when we tell the world. He’d love a world without non-liberal writers in it, and would MAKE one if he could. (Media Research Center)

Worst President in History

Ben Shapiro says the two worst presidents in history are Jimmy Carter and James Buchanan. I wasn’t alive when Buchanan was in office so I can’t speak to that. The only thing I know is the three worse presidents in MY known history are Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, and Brraakk Obama, with Obama topping the list and Bill Clinton second. Jimmy is the THIRD worst president in my known history, but with Buchanan on other people’s list, he nay well be right at the top of the list, too. Of one thing I am SURE. Obama is THE worst president EVER. I’ve seen some bad presidents, but none who frightened me with his actions. Obama does. (Ben Shapiro/Town Hall)

"Spoiling for a Fight"

The supposed “peace activists” who were really Palestinian terrorists “spoiling for a fight” got just what they were after when Israel boarded their ship to inspect it and were attacked. But they didn’t plan on nine people being killed in THEIR side. They hoped all casualties would be on the Israeli side. Their stated intention was NOT to deliver “humanitarian supplies” to Gaza. It was to “break the Israeli blockade.” Delivery of those supplies was just the “cover,” and it didn’t work. So they went to “Plan B,” the public relations blast, which continues. And the liberal media, world-wide, cooperated, as usual. (The Heritage Foundation)
