Nov 8, 2009: Gallows Humor

Sometimes, if you don’t look at all the bad stuff going on around you with a little sense of humor, you start screaming “LA, LA, LA, LA!” and you freak out and shoot 40 people at an Army base.

Ford Had a Better Idea: No Bailout

Government dependence breeds mediocrity.  Ford made the right choice by refusing the bailout, and instead chose to address the root cause of their problem by improving how their company was managed.  They aren’t perfect, and they still have a union problem, but they are turning a profit WITHOUT GOVERNMENT HELP.
Our country might have a chance [...]

I Told You So: Pay Czar Strikes

Don’t think that just because your business didn’t take the bailout that you will be exempt from the intrusion of one or more of Comrade Maobama’s Czar’s. They have already dreamed up ways to justify controlling just about everything. They are just waiting for a big enough “crisis” to justify the takeover.

Why the Next Elections Will Be the Most Important in US History

What if I were to tell you…

Can You Define “Wasteful?”

How Obama defines wasteful spending is beyond me. Let me see if I have this straight. Funding new tanker aircraft for the military is wasteful, but spending $3 Billion on a wasteful cash-for-clunkers program that does nothing for the economy isn’t. Buying F-22’s to ensure we have a fighter force capable of defeating anyone threatening [...]

The American Sheeple Whimpering Goodbye to Capitalism

Just back from a well deserved two week vacation, and I have a lot of catching up to do.
It seems that Russian reporters now have their finger more on the pulse of America than most Americans do.  This chap writes an article very accurately describing what has and will happen to America because of our [...]

We’re Out of Money? How Did That Happen?

‘WE’RE OUT OF MONEY’
Sat May 23 2009 10:32:18 ET
In a sobering holiday interview with C-SPAN, President Obama boldly told Americans: “We are out of money.” (Really?  You don’t say…)
C-SPAN host Steve Scully broke from a meek Washington press corps with probing questions for the new president. (Probing questions? That would be [...]

Obama Seeks Power to Seize Firms

Uh-Bama and the Demo-rats are trying to take ALL of our freedoms before enough people wake up.  This is an overt power grab, and an obvious shift to communism/socialism.  They have already grabbed control of the census so they can shore up their power base.  Via a dishonest campaign of fear-mongering, they have spent trillions [...]

Senate Republicans brake rush to tax AIG bonuses

FINALLY! SOMEONE showing some spine, and some Republicans showing some character.  Before anyone gets mad at the Republicans, remember that Chris Dodd (DEMOCRAT, CT) and treasury secretary “Turbo-Tax-Cheat” Tim Geithner ADMITTED they were the ones who wrote this loophole into the “bailout” law.  They lied about it, got caught, and finally had to admit it.  [...]

As the U.S. financial crisis broadens and deepens, wiping out the wealth and savings of tens of millions, destroying hopes and dreams, it is hard not to see in all of this history’s verdict upon [...]

AIG Bonus Blues: More Democrat Lies

Mr. Eberle does a pretty good job of summing things up here. Obama and the Democrats are LYING about this whole bonus mess to distract us from the larger issues of the bailout, their runaway spending, corruption, and abuse of our constitution. These people MUST GO! They are hastening our departure from [...]

Sen. Dodd Admits Adding Bonus Provision to Stimulus Package

Treasury “forced” him to do it? Looks like the kid got caught with his hand in the cookie jar. “The devil made me do it.” This crooked piece of trash not only added the language to ensure that bonuses would indeed be paid, he is one of the architects of the sub-prime [...]

(Barney) Frank assails bonuses paid to executives at AIG

There’s one really shiny golden nugget in this story. Can you find it? It’s not hard. I’ll help.

Obama the Revolutionary

Updated 03/03/2009 ET
If President Obama achieves his agenda, his successor will not be president of the same nation Obama inherited. Like Madame Defarge in Dickens’ “A Tale of Two Cities”, Obama is a revolutionary, slowly knitting together his plans to change America into something it [...]

Obama: Enabler of the Irresponsible

Obama: Enabler of the Irresponsible
Floyd & Mary Beth Brown
In his inaugural address, President Obama heralded the arrival of a “new era of responsibility.” Apparently, this was a slip of the tongue, really meaning an “era of irresponsibility.” By his actions, Obama is pushing irresponsibility by picking winners and losers, punishing those who have worked hard [...]

Obama Sells U.S. To China Inc.

Obama is selling our nations long term future for short term political gain. Continuing to pile up mountains of debt that must be financed overseas is a sure ticket on the express to socialism and national ruin. In one stroke of the pen Obama has doubled all of our nations debt from the [...]

Don’t Bail Out the UAW (Again)
by Jed Babbin
02/17/2009
In all but one circumstance, it’s almost unknown for an investment by government to return dividends quickly. That one circumstance is when the government invests in failure. When government invests in failure — as it did with the automakers’ bailout last fall — the [...]

California Budget Falters; Chickens Coming Home to Roost

It would appear that California’s (pronounced Kah-lee-for-nee-uh) socialist chickens have come home to roost. Governed by a European socialist masquerading as a conservative and calling himself a republican, California has almost spent itself into oblivion. The only thing that remains to be seen is whether or not they will go through the necessary [...]

“Legalized” Theft is Still Theft

Dr. Jones very astutely summarizes the situation here. The porkulus bill is an unconstitutional attack on our freedom and liberty. Send this letter to every congressman and senator.
