Reynolds’ Law
“The government decides to try to increase the middle class by subsidizing things that middle class people have: If middle-class people go to college and own homes, then surely if more people go to college and own homes, we’ll have more middle-class people. But homeownership and college aren’t causes of middle-class status, they’re markers for possessing the kinds of traits — self-discipline, the ability to defer gratification, etc. — that let you enter, and stay, in the middle class. Subsidizing the markers doesn’t produce the traits; if anything, it undermines them.”
What will it take for the MSM to call it a good month for Gov. Romney?
First, let us review this chart of the Gallup tracking poll. HT to the PJ Tatler
Now the left leaning MSM/DNC has been calling the past month a “bad month” for Gov. Romney. I don’t think the word “bad” means what they think it means.
Keep in mind that this is the Gallup poll, not the historically more accurate Rasmussen poll. It is also a poll of registered voters, not likely voters. Add to that the historic trend of Gallup and most other polls over ratting Obama by several points.
Given all that, plus what is charitably called a “lackluster” recovery that is in danger of slipping back into a recession, it looks like polls, like this Gallup poll, are being carefully crafted to try and make the MSM/DNC label of a “bad month” for Gov. Romney appear to be true. Even with them cooking the books, this polls shows a challenger running dead even with an incumbent President with the election less than two months away.
Keep in mind, most polls had Jimmy Carter, the worst President of the latter half of the 2oth Century, four points ahead of Ronald Reagan at this point in the 1980 election.
Religious Bigotry from the left
No surprise here, it is one of their fallback hates.

Emails Show Close Coordination Between “Justice” Department and Left-Wing Agitprop Organization Media Matters

HT to Ace for this one. Color me not surprised The Obama regime has been anything but “open and transparent” in their actions, legal and illegal.
Internal Department of Justice emails obtained by The Daily Caller show Attorney General Eric Holder’s communications staff has collaborated with the left-wing advocacy group Media Matters for America in an attempt to quell news stories about scandals plaguing Holder and America’s top law enforcement agency.
Taking a look at the Obama Economy
Filed under: economy, Obama Economy, Our Dear Leader, Politics
It’s time again to take a look at the state of the US economy under the so called “guidance” of our Dear Leader.
As you can see we are still at an unemployment level that is much higher than what the Obama economic team promised us it would be if the federal government did nothing, and even higher still than what they claimed it would be if we passed the trillion dollar “stimulus” package. So, not only epic fail on the part of the Obama so called “economic team”, but actual evidence of incompetence is pretty damn clear.
It’s also pretty clear that they are trying to “cook the books” in order to hide their massive pooch screwing of the economy.
Let’s look at that unemployment number of 8.1% for August 2012. It dropped from 8.3%, with only 96,000 new jobs being added. As anyone who has been paying attention knows, you need to add at least 125,000 new jobs a month just to keep up with population growth. So America was short 29,000 jobs of breaking even. The reason the unemployment number when down is because the federal government stopped counting 368,000 Americans as being unemployed for a variety of reasons, none of which was that they became employed. One of the primary reasons that people dropped off the rolls of employed was that the people who were being counted exhausted their unemployment benefits. They are still unemployed, but the feds don’t count them anymore. So in the is case, the reduction in the “official” unemployment rate is an indication that things are getting worse, not better.
Need another example? The Egan-Jones credit rating agency just downgraded the US government’s credit rating. This is because the Obama regime has initiated a third round of “Quantitate Easing.” Incase you don’t know what that means, the Fed created $40 billion out of thin air and inserted that into the money supply. So you have more dollars chasing the same amount of goods. This is bad news for the American consumer. If you still don’t get it (i.e. you can’t repeal the Law of Supply and Demand), here is a helpful instructional video
Monday Book Pick: The Jefferson Allegiance
The Jefferson Allegiance by Bob Mayer
A political thriller with conspiracies linked to secret branches of organizations founded by the Thomas Jefferson (author of the Declaration of Independane and the third President) and Alexander Hamilton (first Secretary of the Treasury). Plenty of action and lots of history. A tasty bit of reading for somebody like me, who likes thrillers, conspiracies and American history.
