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.
Friday B-movie: Ninja Assassin
Not a film you are going to study in film school, but a fun action flick with much, much more than its fair share of blood, gore and violence.
Government Spending Quiz
Can you identify what is a real federal government spending project and what isn’t?
Here is a hint, most of the real government spending programs are part of the democrat’s Porkulus program.
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.
Quote of the Day
“[T]he politically correct are above the rules of ordinary civility, once they have identified you as an unbeliever in their religion.”
Quote of the Day
Once again, Ann Coulter nails it:
“Do not allow Democrats anywhere near foreign policy. Not even to keep them away from domestic policy. It’s a mistake to ask those who don’t even like democracy to defend it.”
Monday Book Pick: Go Tell The Spartans
Go Tell The Spartans by Dr. Jerry Pournelle and S.M. Stirling
Part of Pournelle’s Condominium series, and more specifically part of the Falkenberg Legion series. An excellent read in the Military SciFi genre, and a damn good primer on low intensity conflicts as well.
SciFi Geek Bonus Points: The first mention of “Major Falkenberg” and the “Falkenberg Rifles” isn’t in a book by Mr. Pournelle. Geek points for identifying which Military Sci-Fi book does.
