Quote of the Day
“Should I tell you the most damning thing I ever heard about the Soviet block? Just before the wheel finally came off in East Germany you couldn’t get a shredder for love nor money in West Germany. The STASI were shredding at a rate to keep all Europe in hamster bedding till 2050 and true socialism couldn’t keep up with the demand for shredders so they had to buy them from the West.”

Quote of the Day
We have an election coming up. We also have $5/gallon gasoline and $5/loaf bread coming up. I do not expect the real unemployment rate to fall, although there will be frantic attempts to make it look lower, largely through statistical manipulations based on the definition of unemployment: if you’re not looking for work, you aren’t unemployed even if you have no job and never again expect to find one. As more give up looking, the unemployment rate goes down. And since the unions do not intend to lower their wages and perks, and the states are out of money, there will be “furloughs” among public employees including teachers. You can manipulate those numbers so the “furloughed” are not unemployed. It promises to be an interesting summer, but it will end with $5/gallon gasoline and $5/loaf bread. Look for the price of a can of beans to get higher. Look for the price of Top Ramen to rise…
This will continue so long as the current economic and foreign policies continue.
Quote of the Day: Lenin’s Birthday Edition
Environmental policy is not driven by tree-hugging activists, earnest liberal bloggers, or ecologically minded citizens. Instead, it flows from the lobbyists and executives of well-connected multinational corporations and built-for-subsidy startups that see profit in the loan guarantees, handouts, mandates, and tax credits Congress creates in the name of saving the planet.
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.
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.
