Vegans for Palin
That has to be the coolest blog name I’ve seen in quite a while. Just savor it for a moment.
The name alone will cause massive surges in high blood pressure in an amusingly high amount of leftist moonbats.
Here is an example of what you can find. An anti-Obama protest song.
Obama: Billions for ACORN, but not for the Exploration of Space!
Filed under: Culture of Corruption, economy, Our Dear Leader, Politics, Technology
As part of our Dear Leader’s porkulus plan, the criminal thugs at ACORN are getting $5 Billion in taxpayer funds.
How many real jobs will that create? I’m pretty confident that number is right around zero.
Now it is reported that NASA won’t be sending anybody to the moon anytime soon, that would require an additional $3 billion dollars a year. Taxpayer money which Team Lightbringer would rather spend on a criminal enterprise.
One thing that is clear from the American space program is that it created high paying, high tech jobs that contributed to the health of the American economy and spin off technology that has not just benefited America, but humanity as a whole. I’m not talking just Tang and Velcro here folks. The GPS system and satellite TV just two examples of space program spin off technologies that are still driving growth industries today. The weather satellite system that makes it possible to produce enough food to make famine obsolete is also a product of the US space program.
Ya, I said enough food to make famine obsolete. Let’s be honest here people, any wide spread famine on this planet in the last couple of decades has been the result of politics and not the lack of ability to produce or deliver the food.
To recap, an additional $3 billion a year to NASA would once again put Americans on the Moon. It would also be highly beneficial to the US economy by fueling the high tech industry, putting skilled American engineers back to work and producing a very noticable “trickle down” (more like a monsoon) effect on the industries that support that high tech economy. It would also spark an renewed interest in the sciences in American schools and universities, and promote a sense of adventure in America in a positive and constructive endevor.
Instead, our Dear Leader and the s0-called democrat “leadership” in Congress would rather pour that tax payer money down the drain by giving it to their political allies who are under investigation for massive vote fraud in multiple states.
Is this the “Hope and Change” you were expecting?
Obama’s Communist Troofer Czar
Filed under: Barking Moonbats, Our Dear Leader, Politics
Various news orgs are reporting that our Dear Leader‘s Communist Troofer Czar Van Jones resigned. Hardly surprising, his “resignation letter” was one big play of the “victim card.”
Our Dear Leader lost a chance to reach across the aisle by firing this racist, communist, anti-American, but he decided to continue in his path of being the most divisive President since at least Richard M. Nixon.
This goes back to the issue of how did a Communist Troofer get into the inner circle of President of the United States of America? BHO has a vetting problem from day one. Socialists, tax cheats and corrupt government officials have been perfectably acceptable for even cabinet officials in Team Lightbringer.
The folks in the White House obviously don’t see any of these issues, including 9/11 Trooferism and being admitted Communist, as a problem. The vast majority of the American people do see these as being a serious problem, which is just another example of just how out of touch with the average American our Dear Leader and Team Lightbringer are.
Unemployment is on the rise again
The Obama Economy is operating as predicted, with employment hitting a 26 year high of 9.7%.
Let us review what our Dear Lader and the congressional democrats told us when they rammed the porkulus bill down America’s throat. If the massive spending program (that doesn’t even start to spend two thirds of the money until after 2010) wasn’t passed, unemployment would hit 9% and if it was passed, it wouldn’t go over 8%.
Geoff has a nice chart that compares the Team Lightbringer fantasy with reality. Let me sum up the chart for you, the so called democrat “leadership” who came up with that Charlie Foxtrot are either incompetent or liars. Either one of those solutions is not very comforting to the American people.
A quick look at the polls
Lots of interesting data over at Rasmussen today.
Only 29% of American voters are confident That Congress Knows What It’s Doing on Economy!
Only 22% of Americans think that Congress understands ObamaCare.
42% of American Voters Strongly Disapprove of our Dear Leader‘s performance, and total disapproval rating is up to 52%. We now have a majority of American voters who disgress with our Dear Leader!
Sixty percent (60%) of Americans say there is too much media coverage of our Dear Leader‘s personal life and family. Here is some advice to the MSM, less noise, more signal.
Two Thirds of American voters think our Dear Leader is taking America in the wrong direction.
Far left extremist democrat Congress critter “SanFran Nan” Pelosi’s unfavorables have risen to 64%
Obama’s Read My Lips moment is on its way
Filed under: economy, Our Dear Leader, Politics, Tea Party
It seems that someone at CNN has finally done that math on our Dear Leader‘s programs and figured out what the rest of us did before the election.
He’s going to jack taxes through the roof.
Ace points out some highlights of the article:
…Shy of finding a fairy willing to leave trillions under Uncle Sam’s pillow, lawmakers will have to raise taxes and cut spending…
…President Obama is pledging to keep taxes low for most people……Experts say that’s not going to cut it.
“Taxes are going up and they’re going up for a lot more people than those making more than $250,000. Why? Math. The numbers don’t come close to working,”…
The math isn’t that hard folks, he wants to greatly expand government on top of already expanding the massive federal debt. Somebody has to pay for the programs and the interest. Even if you taxed 100% of what “the rich” make, it isn’t enough.
Below the Beltway quotes a Washington Post article that also shows the scary math.
Obama adds $2 Trillion to the National Deficit
As that Supra-Genius Joey Biden said, “We have to spend in order to avoid bankruptcy.”
Well, his boss, our Dear Leader has put his ideological goals ahead of the well being of the nation and implemented his personal spending habits (which put him $300,000 in debt with an annual house hold income of over a half million dollars) as the President of the United States of America.
So, right before slipping out of D.C. to head to Martha’s Vineyard on vacation, the White House quietly announced that it is raising its projection for the national deficit to $9 trillion from $7.108 trillion. The CBO has been saying $9 Trillion for a while, and most of DNC membership has been in denial. Well folks, facts are stubborn things, and reality even catches up with our Dear Leader every now and then.
Politics and Star Trek
Filed under: Our Dear Leader, Politics, Science Fiction, Star Trek
The nice man over at AuricTech Musings noted that Bill Whittle has an excellent video explaining the reality of the comparison of our Dear Leader and Star Trek’s Mr. Spock and why Spock was never a good choice for that center command chair.
To keep in this meme, I present Leigh Scott’s theory that if Obama is Spock, Sarah Palin
is James T. Kirk.
Sarah Palin is Captain Kirk. Why? Because she just passed the Kobayashi Maru.
…
Since Sarah Palin burst onto the national scene she has been savaged. The media, the Left, the Right, the Middle, you name it. People either love her or hate her. In the media it seems people love to hate her. The “elites” on both sides of the aisle hate the populism she represents. Traditional feminists hate the fact that she has both a family and a career; something that their paradigm teaches is impossible. Her future rivals hate her because she isn’t a typical politician. Her authenticity makes Mike Huckabee look about as real as the Guinea Pigs in “G-Force”.
Palin was faced with her own Kobayashi Maru. How could she effectively govern the state of Alaska while facing ridiculous ethics charges and the scrutiny of the national media? How could she increase her exposure in the lower 48 while staying true to the people in Alaska who elected her? Perhaps if the wingnuts in Alaska didn’t stalk her with silly lawsuits she would have simply put her larger ambitions on the back burner and continued to do her job as governor. But it wasn’t meant to be. She was perfectly set up to fail. Her popularity in Alaska would decline. The national media would point to it as an indicator of her overall effectiveness. The Klingons…I mean the left, would have won.
But Palin defied them. She changed not her strategy, but the very rules. She resigned her position, turning the state over to her loyal Lieutenant Governor to continue the plans and policies she put into motion. Like any good story, it was an unexpected twist, yet when viewed in retrospect it was the only way it could play out.
..
For all his talk of being different, representing “hope,” and bringing “change” Obama has turned out to be quite the bore. He is the consummate insider, a recycler of old ideas and failed policies. People wanted to beam up to the starship and explore strange new worlds. We wanted to boldly go where no man (or woman) has gone before. Obama is in the wrong franchise. He and crazy Doc Brown, I mean Joe Biden, gassed up the DeLorean and took us back in time. To 1976.
Palin passed the Kobayashi Maru. She is qualified to command the ship. She has all the qualities we want in a captain; valor, principals, vision and most of all, the ability to change the rules.
Go watch the video and read the article. Both Mr. Whittle and Mr. Scott make solid good points.
A brilliant observation on branding
Bill Whittle of PJTV has a very insightful segment on branding and politics. He pulls no punchs in pointing out the democrats get it and how the RNC is pretty much completely clueless on the subject.
Yup, something else that the RNC has screwed the pooch on. Add it to the list.
Mr. Whittle makes two excellent points in this video. First, the RNC has the better message (they may not live up to it all the time, but that is another issue). Fiscal conservatism, individual rights and responsibilities, the US Constitution, all that stuff. It’s healthier for the nation, its citizens and allies. The RNC packages that message as “eat your vegatables”, not as a tasty smoothie that, oh ya, happens to be the best thing for your body since whatever the last thing that was best for your body was. The DNC’s message of socialism, statism, and turn in your grandma for reading the Constitution, is by comparison, the junk food that is going to harden your arteries and give you a fatal heart attack, but its wrapped up in pretty package and loaded with tasty cancer causing chemicals. Barack Obama and the DNC are like the Marlborough Man, the brand sold a lot of cigarettes, and killed a lot of their customers.
The other point is that Mr. Whittle makes is that the branding can turn on you. There has been a distinct rise in negative messages using the Obama “O” logo, and even BHO’s face, which the DNC and its lackeys where so careful to associate with an angelic halo whenever possible, has been associated with a clown faced psychopath, who’s main goal is the destruction of society and the advancement of destructive chaos. Expect more of this as our Dear Leader‘s poll numbers drop and more people pick up on the truth of Mr. Whittle’s message.
Obama’s Snitch line is down
Filed under: Culture of Corruption, Free Speech, Our Dear Leader, Politics
Hot Air is reporting that email to the Obama Snitch email address (flag@whitehouse.gov) is down and returning an error message.
A win for the First Amendment and the Rule of Law, two things the Obama Administration isn’t too keen on.
