Round Up Post
Let’s take a look at how things are going.
- Our Dear Leader is focusing on what is important to him, his Golfing. He’s out today for round number 64 since taking office.
- With the democrats in charge of both Congress & the White House, the Super Rich see their tax rates go down. Don’t worry, the democrats are still working hard to make sure that middle class have their taxes raised so they can “pay their fair share.”
- Gas prices top $4 a gallon in D.C. and six states. At least our Dear Leader kept one of his campaign promises…
- ACORN pleads guilty in yet another voter fraud case.
- The state of California is seizing property from its citizens’ safety deposit boxes and selling the contents off to try to stem the state’s cash flow problem.
- The UN is trying to erase it’s 2005 prediction of 50 million ‘climate change’ refugees that would exist by 2010.
- Note to leftists, Orwell’s 1984 was meant as a warning, not an instruction manual.
- 2 wars, 2 scandals, 2 presidents add up to uneven coverage
- Leftist harass a black man for attending a Tea Party rally. Liberals really become upset when blacks wander off their plantation.
Mary Katherine Ham Fact Checks Obama
Filed under: Culture of Corruption, Our Dear Leader, Politics
It turns out that the truth and our Dear Leader are not exactly on speaking terms.
Obama’s decision isn’t based on what is best for America’s children, but what the NEA wants. Obama needs that Union money for his reelection campaign.
Some Change I’ve been Hoping for!
This small portion of Obamacare would have created an unfunded mandate that would have destroyed many small businesses.
All we need now is our Dear Leader’s signature, or every business in America will have to file a 1099 form for every business and person they do more than $600 worth of business during the year. If you have a fleet of trucks or cars, your business will have to file a 1099 on every gas station they do business with. Every mom & pop shop will have to file a 1099 for every high school kid they employ. The sheer volume of this paperwork would require businesses to hire dedicated people just to fill out and file the 1099 forms. People they would have to pay out of their profits, and would add zero benefit to their business. The cost of doing business would go up and companies operating on tight margins would be forced out of business by our Dear Leader’s ravenous thirst for new tax revenues.
If our Dear Leader doesn’t sign this bill, it is a clear sign that he values his extremist political agenda more then the American economy and the well being of the American people.
Morning Round Up
The Obamacare waivers keep on coming. 128 new waivers and still more to come! Interestingly enough, most, if not all, of these Obamacare waivers are going to groups who lobbied for Obamacare! They felt strongly that Obamacare was important for you tax paying peasants to have. For themselves, not so much.
Oh, for those of you who voted for our Dear Leader because you thought he would “promote peace”, let us review his record.
- Followed the Bush timetable in Iraq
- Doubled down in Afghanistan
- Increased Predator missile strikes in Pakistan
- Signed the renewal of the Patriot Act that the democrat controlled congress put in front of him
- Kept Gitmo open
- Is holding military tribunals instead of civil trials for terrorists
- Attacked Libya, which was no threat to the US, and without Congressional approval
Lenin had a descriptive phrase for you folks, “Useful Idiots.”
A Republican congressman received a death threat laced with anti-semitic attacks and a pig’s foot. CNN carried the story, buried deep in their web site.
A Wisconsin fleebagger is facing a recall. It seems the voters didn’t like him fleeing the state rather than doing his job.
Obama’s IRS Launches Audit Offensive Against Wealthy Americans.
No surprise here, our Dear Leader wants to increase federal government spending even more!
Here is some good news. The Supreme Court has upheld tax credits for School Vouchers.
The silence on the democrats’ failure
There is a very important fact that you need to remember that isn’t brought up in the MSM/DNC.
The primary job of Congress is to pass a budget. The democrats controlled both houses of Congress, and the White House, in 2010 and they failed to pass a budget.
The sole reason we are looking at a potential government shut down is that the Congressional democrats failed at their primary job, and our Dear Leader, President Barack Hussein Obama failed to provide any sort of leadership in this matter.
If a government shutdown occurs, it is because the democrats have failed the American people.
Prime Snark
Excellent Snark here in this reply to a blog post about our Dear Leader‘s “foreign adventures”:
What I like about Obama
Obviously, the biggest problem with Bush was sending the military into an Arab Muslim country that hadn’t even attacked us. Among the several things that made that offensive were
* the rush to war – it was only several months after the possibility of military involvement was raised that combat operations began
* lack of United Nations sanction – only 17 relevant resolutions were ever passed before they were enforced
* lack of Congressional oversight – the President authorized the use of military force based on the flimsy pretext of a bill passed by Congress titled “Authorization of the Use of Military Force”, rather than seeking a document that had the words “declaration of war” in it; that’s every bit as bad as getting no Congressional approval at all
* obvious financial motives – clearly no one approved of the murderous dictator or sought a normal working relationship with him besides the French; at the same time, one couldn’t help but be suspicious of the fact that the population we were ostensibly protecting was located conveniently near the oil fields
* stretching our military – we were overburdened as it was, and our brave military despite its courage lacked the resources for yet another operation
* inflating our military – the only way to keep the bloodthirsty Pentagon beast fed was to give it the hordes of jobless young men who had no prospects in an economy that saw unemployment skyrocket above 4% in most states
* ignoring our generals – the decision to go to war was made by political hacks who had never worn a uniform
* inflaming the Arab Street – despite some touchy-feely talk about Islam, it was impossible for the Muslim world not to notice how the President made repeated, insistent proclamations of his Christianity, how he only ever used the military against Muslim targets, and how at the time the war started he’d kept the concentration camp at Guantanamo open for over a year
* wasting money – it was completely irresponsible to commit the military to an expensive mission when the President’s fiscal mismanagement had resulted in a budget deficit of over $150 billion in 2002But anyway, what I really like about Obama is that he’s gone 29-3 in his bracket picks over the first two days. You have to spend a lot of time watching college basketball to be that good.
Math is clearly not our Dear Leader’s strong point
Charles Krauthammer points out that the “accounting” in our Dear Leader’s so-called “budget” is the type that would get an ordinary citizen thrown in jail.
Classic Obama debt reduction: Add $2 trillion in new taxes, then add $1 trillion in new spending and, presto, you’ve got $1 trillion of debt reduction. It’s the same kind of mad deficit accounting in Obamacare: It reduces debt by adding $540 billion in new spending, then adding $770 billion in new taxes. Presto: $230 billion of “debt reduction.” Bialystock & Bloom accounting.
Bonus points for the Mel Brooks reference.
Be sure to read the whole thing. Trust me, it gets better.
Harvard’s Niall Ferguson Schools MSNBC Talking Head on Muslim Brotherhood and Caliphate
Filed under: Global War on Islamofascism, Our Dear Leader, Politics
Mr. Ferguson is articulate, competent, and lays out the facts of his argument very clearly.
How he made it past the MSNBC screeners is a good question.
Quote of the Day
Excellent lecture from Sam of Day by Day:
“…progressives are basically old cross-dressing boomer socialist decked out in your party dress, masquerading as ‘the people’, and hold out the same old, dead, withered 100 year old hands of Marx and Engels.
Britain, France, Germany have all renounced it, and it’s no surprise that that the three biggest bankrupt U.S. states are blue – California, Illinois, and New York.
Sorry, but progressives and multiculturalism are out-dated, incompetent, and well… kinda gross.
After two years of total control by democrat-progressives, we can all see how they match up to reality, n’cest-ce pas?
A President promising efficient government triples the deficit, and blows 3 Trillion with zero result except for 10.3 percent unemployment.
An Attorney General of the Justice Department so riddled with racism he won’t prosecute an open and shut case regarding the Black Panthers.
A Homeland Security head who can only sue states who try and secure the borders she’s responsible for.
Political pundits who claim people haven’t the intelligence to understand the Constitution because it’s ‘100 years old’.
A CIA chief who says he gets the latest intel from CNN – Jan, one could go on for hours…”
If you are not reading Day by Day, you should be.
