Arguing with Idiots by Glenn Beck
That candy munching, round faced former acoholic is at again. This time, he’s dressing up as “the Book Czar” and telling you to buy his book. Fact filled and organized to counter the pretty consistantly fact free arguments of the typical leftiest. No wonder they hate this guy over at MSNC.
Priorities
Filed under: Culture of Corruption, Our Dear Leader, Politics
It’s clear to see where our Dear Leader‘s priorities are. He has spoken with the General he personally place in charge of Afghanistan twice. He has had over 30 meetings to try to get the 2016 Olympics held the crime ridden city of Chicago.
Why this mixed up set of priorities? Simple, as the man who wrote the screenplay said, “Follow the Money!”
While the odds are that the city of Chicago is going to loose money hosting the Olympics, there will be people who get very, very rich off all the money that will be flowing through that city for that event.
Those people will be the political cronies of the Chicago democrat political machine. The people who supported our Dear Leader going back to his days as a “community organizer” and they now have their hands out. Paying off those political debts, with federal tax payer money, is clearly our Dear Leader‘s priority.
What America is reading
Number 1 top seller at Amazon, Gov. Sarah Palin’s book, Going Rogue, which isn’t coming out until November! I’m betting it outsells any of our Dear Leader’s books.
Number 3 is Glenn Beck’s Arguing with Idiots.
If you like these books, here are some more you may like.
Mean while, in California, state regulations kill 3.8 Million jobs
Yup, burdensome and excessive state regulations have cost the California economy 3.8 million jobs in the small business market.
That’s right folks, the small businesses that employ most of the people. The small businesses that are competely unrepresented on our Dear Leader‘s so-called “economic team.”
This helps explains California’s current unemployment rate of 12.2%.
This is the result of the far left policies of the California legislature. If it wasn’t for the Governator acting as a rational brake on their policies, California would be flirting with Michigan’s 15.2% unemployment rate.

Sheading some light on ObamaCare
Reason Magazine presents some cold hard facts on ObamaCare:
The real reason Obama insists upon making the young and healthy buy insurance they don’t want is not the relatively minor free rider problem but the potentially ruinous adverse selection problem: The most expensive patients are the ones who are most likely to sign up for coverage. To keep the official 10-year price tag of his plan below that magical $1 trillion threshold, he needs to balance sick people who rack up big bills with healthy people who pay for insurance but don’t use it. Instead of acknowledging this reality, Obama portrays the healthy uninsured as irresponsible leeches.
Yup, here is a dose of reality for all those idealistic young folks who voted for Obama without a real clue of what he was actually planning, he just views you as a money source he can leech off to support his socialist policies.
Welcome to the farm, Coppertop.
Today’s Quote
“We must reject the idea that every time a law’s broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions.”
— President Ronald Reagan
ObamaSpeak vs Websters Dictionary
Filed under: Obamaspeak, Our Dear Leader, Politics, Taxes, Video
Kudos for George Stephanopoulos for asking a question that our Dear Leader clearly hadn’t vetted. The White House will try and punish him for it, but as a former White House communications director himself, Stephanopoulos figures it’s probably worth the hit.
Let’s go to the video.
Stephanopoulos challenges our Dear Leader on his proposed tax on those who won’t sign up for government mandated health care, and our Harvard Law School educated President replies with ‘who are you going to believe? Me or that lying Webster’s Dictionary?’
Here is the money quote:
Stephanopoulos: “Under this mandate, the government is forcing people to spend money, fining you if you don’t. How is that not a tax?”
Obama: ” No, but — but, George, you — you can’t just make up that language and decide that that’s called a tax increase.”
Stephanopoulos: “I don’t think I’m making it up. Merriam-Webster’s dictionary: ‘Tax, a charge, usually of money, imposed by authority on persons or property for public purposes.'”
BHO can parse words in a manner that would embarrass Billy Jeff ‘It depends on what the meaning of is is” Clinton, but it won’t change the fact that his argument that the fine isn’t a tax is still fundamentally a lie.
The model for ObamaCare is the Massachusetts system, in which the state Internal Revenue Service determines if you have health care or not and adds any ‘fines’ to your state tax bill.
