And how could I forget the whopper?!?

Obama, twisted fanatic that he is, does a speech about Africa wherein he talks about their rampant starvation, poor GDP and the roots of those problems...

and somehow forgets that the former "BREADBASKET OF AFRICA," which used to feed all the surrounding nations, now has limitless inflation and yields no crops...

because a black racist promising hope and change converted the place into a racist communist hell hole!

They threw out or oppressed the productive, experienced Europeans in the name of fairness ("Empathy" sound familiar?) and wealth redistribution ("spread the wealth around"?), and now everyone but the elite class starves in perpetual misery.


Gee, now how could he have POSSIBLY missed THAT while talking about improving Africa?!? I can't imagine!

Edit: EXCELLENT article on the country I'm referring to in the comments, thanks to whitefangedwolf. If Obama were sincere about fixing Africa he would have dumped his speech and read that article aloud. Reading that article it becomes obvious why Obama would never endorse it, and why our media ignores this ongoing story.

Barry kowtows to the Russians, sitting there for lectures, all for a net NEGATIVE result

A Supreme Court nominee breaks tradition to endorse a (racist, misandrist, biased) nominee, and lied to do it no less

Biden is defending his secret no-press meetings by saying they aren't any of those things, they just won't tell anyone about them and there is no press allowed

And I'm largely incommunicado. Annoying.



BTW, Drudge has a pic of Barry staring at a 16 year old's ass. I guess he's trying to improve his poll numbers with Liberals.
EDIT: I've seen the video of this. Unlike the Saudi bow and every other VERY REAL negative observation of Obama, this one does not apply. He was checking the step to make sure it was clear so as to help a young lady step down. He was, in fact, being chivalrous. Much ado, folks.

"Members of Congress on Wednesday blasted 'disturbing' and 'outrageous' security failures in the nation's federal buildings after government investigators smuggled bomb-making materials past the police agency charged with protecting those buildings."

Hee, hee, hee, hee! Ha, ha, ha, ho! Candy from babies.

"the GAO's probe included such troubling findings as a report that 73 percent of FPS contract guards lacked valid certifications and a report that one security guard allowed a baby to pass through an X-ray machine -- breaches in security he said make the country vulnerable to terrorist attack. Lieberman said the guard, who was later fired, filed a lawsuit and won after FPS could not provide sufficient proof that he had been properly trained. The GAO report found that a vast majority of security guards received no X-ray or metal detection training at all.
The undisclosed buildings at the center of the probe were all labeled 'Security Level IV,' or high-risk."

Oh to be government union employees! AHAHAHAHHAAHHAHHAHAAA!

This is your future under Democrat government health care. Remember as you watch your loved ones suffer and die that you were warned.

Congress Blasts 'Outrageous' Security Breaches at Nation's Federal Buildings

How's the stimulus working for you so far? "Where does that leave us? It leaves us in a situation where the people in power, the people who make the rules and decide how our economy is going to be fixed, are going to worry first about preserving and expanding their power and secondly (if they have time) about putting us back on a track to prosperity." "These are people who think that America is great because of government; and the more government we have the better America is. This is why the stimulus money had to be spent by the government sector … not the ordinary, hard-working masses." "The people who made this decision will stand for reelection next year. You will look at the 435 members of the U.S. House of Representatives and tell yourself that 434 of those rascals just have to go. Every one except yours. The rascals know this. They’re not worried."

Crazy like a(n arctic) fox "Here's the calculus on Sarah Palin's decision to resign -- and it's elementary:" A pretty simple breakdown from the viewpoint of a human being. Like lawyers, politicians are divorced from such thinking. It amazes me how those inside the beltway can't grasp how one might want to leave an office before running for a new one. They attack Palin instead of those who deliberately wasted her time and taxpayer money attacking her. "That's politics," they say, without the consideration that maybe it shouldn't be. Elitists, all of them, they believe it is the right of the political class to seek new employment while being paid by the current. This is a sickness.
When you hear people laugh at Palin keep in mind Barry was hired as a senator then spent two years of that term paid with YOUR money to campaign for President. Who has more honor? Of course the politicos are right. The scumbags will win in the end, as they continue to do. But shouldn't we at least be honest about how wrong it is?

Speaking of those divorced from humanity, a word from our media. More of ABC's elitist Obamunist antics The ABC reporter was tagging along while Palin fished. "the intrepid ABC reporter observes to Palin: 'you have some fish guts on you.'" Oh, ho, ho, ho. Har, har. Fish guts. While fishing? What a shock! The little urbanite is beside herself with revulsion at being next to someone who gets dirty. "DIANE SAWYER: OK, Kate. Thanks so much for going up next to the fish and getting the interview." And the other urban Liberal drone has the same reaction, both of them to belittle Palin. This is what the media, and Liberals, have to offer.

As CO2 Rises, Temperatures Continue to Fall "Temperatures have fallen .74°F since the release of The Goracle's science fiction fraud 'An Inconvenient Truth.' In that same time, the level of CO2 in our atmosphere has continued to rise" The worst realistic prediction had the Earth's temperature going up a degree, ONE, in the next century. For that we would CRASH our economy, taxing the poor and the middle class by thousands a year? But it gets better! Since then back here in reality the temp has gone down almost a full degree in a few years. It's almost as if climate science is guesswork, and tainted by an agenda at that. People can yammer about theory and the realities of chemical reactions all they want. The temp has gone down while CO2 rose. That's not theory. Hey look... BTW, this past June was NYC's 8th coolest on record


Only a matter of time.

Obama reads Pushkin "Obama wants people to believe in his amazing intellectual brilliance so badly that he's willing to risk making a fool of himself, even on Mission Impossible to Moscow. Because do you really think that Vladimir Putin "The Poisoner" is going to think that the Big O goes to bed reading Pushkin in Cyrillic? Obama couldn't even figure out that Medvedev is just Putin's string puppet over there. He started off before the trip by insulting Putin, the Czar, and praising his pet poodle, the Prime Minister. [...] What guys like Putin get out of this unbelievable fakery is that we have another Jimmy Carter in the White House -- but with a much better fantasy life. He'll probably try to drink Obama under the table, because how can O say no? He has to be perfect at everything, and Putin likes ego games" "One of the biggest liberal delusions is that intellectuals make good presidents." "This is Obama's modus vivendi (to fake some Latin), part of the self-deluded fantasy life of a man with a fragile ego, and his finger hovering over the nuclear button." If you haven't yet heard, Putin spent the first hour of a TWO hour meeting lecturing Obama about the cold war. That's our leader in action. More details on the disaster that was this mismatch of men in my next entry I'm sure.

Obama Paper Proposes "Social Justice" as Alternative to Military Security If you were wondering why our President spends all his time abroad bashing this country, or happily listening to those who do, maybe this will provide an insight. He's a far left radical and always has been, folks. You were duped. "A relic of Comrade Obama's college days missed the memory hole. In a treatise entitled "Breaking the War Mentality," he seems to propose nuclear disarmament through social justice. If I can make any sense of his pretentious poppycock" "one is forced to wonder whether disarmament or arms control issues, severed from economic and political issues, might be another instance of focusing on the symptoms of a problem instead of the disease itself." Everything to this radical clown is about redistribution of wealth, and of things working out because he wants them to.

Comrade Obama's Birth Certificate for Sale on eBay Here is a list of some of the things we don't know about the man America made President, despite having written two autobiographies, and promising transparency. "his kindergarten records, his Punahou school records, his Occidental College records, his Columbia University records, his Columbia thesis, his Harvard Law School records, his Harvard Law Review articles, his scholarly articles from the University of Chicago, his passport, his medical records, his files from his years as an Illinois state senator, his Illinois State Bar Association records, any baptism records, and his adoption records."

Liberals: Learning Nothing and Forgetting Nothing "Yet Democrats are honest enough to be ashamed of what they are doing. Why else would they pass their trillion dollar stimulus bill without serious hearings or even a copy of the bill available to read." "In the Waxman-Markey bill the grand principle of limiting carbon emissions through auctioned and marketable emission permits gets thrown under the bus in a crude special-interest feeding frenzy. What happened to saving the planet?" "When President Bush wanted to reform Social Security in 2005 he took his case to the American people. He failed to persuade them, and so he didn't get his reform. Democrats and President Obama don't have the guts for that sort of thing." Tell me how they aren't liars and cowards when they refuse to make their case to the American people, or even the other members of Congress. This is the Democrat Party leadership.

John Stossel's Take: Healthcare from Dr. Krugman "Paul Krugman misleads, as he often does, in today’s New York Times:"
Meanwhile, the sellouts at Wapo continue their Liberal fanaticism. The headline read: Obama Urges Groups to Stop Attacks The reader who just glances at headlines might think Obama was being *gasp* bipartisan. But oh no! He's asking far Left groups to stop attacking Democrats. And this as the seem to be pushing the far Left. Our state run media.

Some Animals Are Less Equal Than Others "Under Hopey Change, some animals are less equal than others — namely Christians and Caucasians." Racist AG Eric Holder spews the same justification for double standard laws we're all used to. Moonbattery points out, "Black on white violence is 7.5 times higher than white on black violence. But that's in the real world, so it has no bearing on the bizarre laws imposed by the kakistocracy to punish us for being normal Americans." Seven times higher, rounding down.

More ABC as the Pravda media. Tough Jake Tapper Interview With Obama Fails to Hold Interest of Jackson-obsessed ABC "Despite devoting almost the entire Good Morning America program on Tuesday to Michael Jackson, ABC could only find three minutes for a hard-hitting Jake Tapper interview with Barack Obama" in Russia. Worth a read. No wonder ABC censored it for their Dear Leader.

See what happens when you vote inexperienced clowns into office? It encourages others. Our idiocracy is upon us. Alec Baldwin interested in congressional run Not only has this hot tempered idiot never shown signs of a clue about politics, not only did he call his 11 year old a selfish pig, but he called Sean Hannity a former construction worker, meant as an insult. How do the few worthwhile Democrats stand this?

So simple even a Liberal might understand it.

Most of those on LJ and in the media are simply dishonest scumbags pushing an agenda. They know how ridiculous it is to screech "hypocrite" at non-Liberals because Bush ran up a deficit. But for the ignorant and stupid among the Liberals, and they are legion, or for the gullible who buy their tripe, of which there are even more, maybe this video will help explain it. I highly recommend posting it the infinite times this dishonest talking point comes up in the future.

From Moonbattery



Again, this may at least help with the stupid, ignorant and or gullible. You can then point out to them that the TARP was a mistake, and intelligent people NOT trying to crash the economy learn from mistakes rather than trying to outdo them. Those who know the "Bush's fiscal imprudence" argument is crap will then seamlessly switch talking points to something else or make some idiotic distracting joke hoping it will change the subject. That's when you can ask them how spending 8% of a "stimulus" after several months stimulates anything. The bottom line is this was theft from the American people for power. They know this. More people need to hear it. Cap and Trade is the same. Health care "reform" is the same. Owning car companies. Owning banks. All power. The Democrat elite do not care what harm is caused in the pursuit of their power.

I keep hearing how Republicans should "move to the middle." AKA lean even farther left.
I keep hearing about how Republicans need to dump one group of the party. I admit there is some merit to this when it comes to some of what I consider one issue fanatics and those who put their niche (usually religion) above the greater good.

None of that is what Republicans really need to do. What Republicans need to do first and foremost is read and grasp the truth in this article.

I Still Hate You, Sarah Palin

If Republicans don't grow up, recognize the real world and the genuinely evil people that run most of the Democrat Party, and then start calling out their tactics or using those tactics against them, they will continue to lose. Period.

As always with what I consider "must read" articles please don't comment if you didn't read.

Wow. Just wow.

the_mcp offered some information on how the Nielsen families work. It explains pretty well why television is so very very dumb. It isn't by accident.

Thanks for that info!

Free parking for the metro. All day pass. Can't beat that. Saved a lot of walking. The ticket with Barry's face on it was rather revolting. On the upside every time I showed it to people I went on about how I love him and plan to frame it when I get home. It was worth it for the cockeyed looks people gave me. Yes, folks, Barry fans are sick idiots. Maybe a little satire will wake you up.

Parade. I'd rather punch myself in the teeth than watch a parade. Not nearly enough scantily clad ladies. Glad we didn't stay.

Tea Party. Very disappointing turnout. Scheduling it during the parade seems a mistake to me. It seems to me if you get about 200 people and 98% are above 60 there might be a problem with recruitment. It's a shame how stupid and lazy are too many Americans. Then again maybe I gauge these things poorly.

The spy museum. The things I won't do to please a woman. Cute but not exactly illuminating. Picking a cover ID was fairly amusing. I did enjoy the hanging Dzerzhinsky.

Where we were seated for the fireworks it looked like the show was just for us. Great show. Watching kids get to see a helicopter land and sit inside it, very cool. Fireworks they'll forget. But not watching a helicopter land from 50 feet.

Weather that wasn't cool, but much better than two years ago, was a big plus. All in all a good day.

Until recently I had not been watching this series.

My error.

2ND EDIT: They canceled it. My was I angry when I found that out.

I hate you Fox and Nielsen families.

A quick mismash of past posts.

I wish you and yours the happiest Independence Day.

The world changed on this day. Few consider that fact.

Not Even Energy Czarina Has Read Cap and Tax Bill
"STEVE DOOCY: "[I] know the bill is over 1,000 pages long. Have you have read it?"
CAROL BROWNER: "Oh, I'm very familiar with this bill."
DOOCY: "Have you have read it?"
BROWNER: "We have obviously been watching this for a very long time. I am very…"
DOOCY: "I'm sure you've got an idea of it, but you have read it?"
BROWNER: "I've read major portions of it, absolutely."
DOOCY: "So the answer no you haven't read it. But you've read a big chunk of it."
BROWNER: "No, no, no that's not fair. That's absolutely not fair."
DOOCY: "No, I'm just asking you if you read the thousand pages."
BROWNER: "I've read vast portions of it."
DOOCY: "Ok."
They don't need to have read it. Democrats know all they need to know. The right corporations benefit while Democrats gain money and power. What it actually accomplishes after hat is irrelevant.

Media Ignore EPA Suppressing Skeptical Global Warming Report "The day before the House was to vote on a controversial energy bill destined to be the largest tax hike in American history, it was revealed that the Environmental Protection Agency had suppressed an internal report challenging the entire global warming myth.
Despite the importance of this study, and how it related to a debate about to ensue on the House floor, its existence and suppression went almost completely ignored by America's media."

Wow.Bozell: When Even Helen Thomas Denounces Obama Media Manipulation, You Know It's Out of Control
"At yesterday’s White House briefing, CBS’s Chip Reid and Hearst Newspapers columnist Helen Thomas confronted Press Secretary Robert Gibbs over how 'very tightly controlled' the media are by the Obama Administration. After the briefing, CNSNews.com reports that many members of the press corps went out of their way to thank Thomas for making her stand.
In a subsequent interview with CNSNews.com, Thomas again articulated her outrage at how the media are being controlled.
'Nixon didn’t try to do that. They couldn’t control (the media). They didn’t try. What the hell do they [the Obama Administration] think we are, puppets? They’re supposed to stay out of our business. They are our public servants. We pay them.'
Thomas continued, 'When you call the reporter the night before, you know damn well what they are going to ask to control you. I’m not saying there has never been managed news before, but this is carried to fare-thee-well--for the town halls, for the press conferences. It’s blatant. They don’t give a damn if you know it or not. They ought to be hanging their heads in shame.'"
Whether she meant to or not, the media just got labeled as corrupt or cowards by an old lady who is normally the worst of them. That's GOT to be hurting their egos.

CBS Frames New Haven as 'Conservative' Justices vs 'Civil Rights Leaders' "CBS's Wyatt Andrews framed the ruling as issued by the Supreme Court's 'conservative' justices and opposed not by liberals but by 'civil rights leaders,'" Lacking a disclaimer for the revolting bias of this everyone involved should lose their jobs.

Stephanopoulos and Krugman: Democrats Punish Adulterers More Harshly "'Politicians of both parties stray. The Democrats actually seem to punish their strayers more harshly.'" So says the insane NYT columnist Paul Krugman, with agreement from former Clinton advisor and now faux-journalist Stephanopoulos. Someone has to be out of their damn mind to make this argument. But then we already know Stephy is Carville's and Obama's little propaganda whore

Olbermann Warns Kos Kids: Don't Criticize Me -- It Helps the Right "Keith Olbermann warned Daily Kos readers on Friday that they should not post diaries or comments critical of him for it strengthens the Right." Normally I don't post about this deranged clown because there is just no point. Anyone who watches him for other than mockery is a fanatic or idiot. But this amused.

Disney Accused of Promoting Heteronormativity "'Despite the assumption that children's media are free of sexual content, our analyses suggest that these media depict a rich and pervasive heterosexual landscape,' wrote researchers Emily Kazyak and Karin Martin, in a report published in the latest issue of the Sociologists for Women in Society (SWS) publication Gender & Society." Disney shows herteros in a positive light! HORRORS! The Liberal assault on normal continues. How can a sane person look at even the idea that such a study would take place and not laugh at or condemn it?

The Louisiana Legislature Is in Session Leads to video. Watch what took place on the floor of the Louisiana House Chamber. This is where our society is headed when Liberals take charge.


Rock Bottom "A failed ultra-left talk show host and former second-rate professional clown, known for his extreme obnoxiousness, cheating on his taxes, and failing to take out worker's comp for his employees has been installed in the position of United States Senator.

Have a look at the groups that will be assisting Comrade Obama and his henchman Dead Fish Emanuel collect information for the 2010 Census: I don't see how this can end with anything but the best of outcomes.

$73 million in assistance to Zimbabwe from Obama But don't worry. He says, "the money 'will not be going to the government directly because we continue to be concerned'" And if you can't trust Obama's judgment, what can you trust.

A followup on the post below. "THERE IS NO LIBERAL" media:
When a newspaper blatantly commits incest "How can anything written in the Washington Post be taken seriously anymore? One would think heads would roll after a revelation like this except the events are going to be taking place at the house of the publisher!"
"When it comes to a blatant violation of journalistic ethics, this one beats all. First ABC, and now the Washington Post have turned their media over to the Obama administration for purposes of advancing the White House agenda. And they're getting paid to do it."
AT doesn't go far enough, though. They are missing a bigger picture. The top Democrats and Obama White House had to be in on this. This is media as a wing of the Democrat Party, sure. But it is also the Obama Administration and top Democrats blatantly profiting and taking queues, not just from lobbyists, but from the highest bidders.

Here is the cap-and-tax “placeholder:” Where’s the fine print? Take a look at the pic. That spot that reads "section reserved" is for PASSED legislation.
Maybe the Washington Post and the Democrats haven't yet had the party where lobbyists tell Democrats what's in the bill.

New "Bloodhounds" Web Video Asks: Where Are the Jobs? by John Boehner Cute. Not nearly what they need, though.

These are two brilliant observations!
Politicians Are What’s Wrong With Politics "Two things. First off, if [Republicans having affairs] is 'conservative hypocrisy' isn’t every Democratic scandal involving money an example of 'liberal hypocrisy?' The statist agenda is to take your money and have the government spend it because, supposedly, they can do it better and fairer than you can. So when we indict a Democrat over bribes, theft, or kickbacks why don’t we talk about how that effects their agenda? Shouldn’t the Rod Blagojevich scandal generate a full Anderson Cooper show about how the Democrats are going to proceed in telling us that they should take care of the cash when they are all a bunch of crooks?
Secondly, all these political scandals serve to hammer home a central point: politicians are a wacky bunch. They are an odd form of sociopath. Deluded, narcissistic, self-important wind bags who spend their lives seeking the ultimate freeloading government gig. They are not to be trusted. Government should be limited so we don’t allow these types of people: philanderers, tax cheats, alcoholics, drug addicts, con artists, pedophiles and thieves too much control over the people."
"There is an inherent fallacy to statist ideologies like communism and socialism. For them to work, the people in the government must be beyond reproach. They must be angels; wise sages who can put their own egos, wants and desires on the back burner to serve the common good. Where are these benevolent deities? Where are these Mother Theresa types to guide us and protect us? They ain’t in Washington."

Unveiling Obama hypocrisy and the flaws in Liberal thinking. Daily Gut: Why Obama Hates Obamacare "So Obama is holding a townhall meeting right now (cue hearty applause from a sea of clapping seals) to tout his monstrous health care overhaul – more evidence that we’re entering the hard sell phase of something so unnecessary it’s actually turning our President into a sweaty huckster. But thankfully for him, he doesn’t have to do it all himself–the networks are doing Obama’s pitching (and catching) for free."
"And the only thing you have to remember about health care is this: if Obama had to choose between the current system and the system he’s envisioning for all of us, he’d run screaming to the former. You saw him in that ABC infomercial - when asked by a neurologist (which is a real doctor, I think) what he would do if his wife or child got seriously ill. Wouldn’t Obama want the best damn care possible, nationalized health care bureaucracy be damned? At that point, Obama started thinking like a human again, not a teleprompter, and could no longer defend his plan. Instead, he said, 'it’s my family member, if it’s my wife, if it’s my children, if it’s my grandmother, I always want them to get the very best care.'"
Some animals are more equal than others. You see, Obama knows special health care rules will always be available for the party elite, just as were the rules in the Soviet Union and any other communist country. His health care plan isn't for the people he loves, meaning he knows it isn't the best. It's for everyone else. You peons. When made to face that choice he makes it clear.

Just my two cents for what they're worth.

Can you encapsulate your concerns into a thirty second sound bite? That's what a journalist will give you, if you're lucky. No offense to the guy who got caught by CNN, but starting your argument with Lincoln isn't going to get your message out. When you attend a rally the adrenaline gets pumping. That can lead to scattered thoughts. This will be compounded when a reporter and cameraman walk up to you to ask a question.
Maybe before leaving jot down your basic bullet points on a note card and keep that in your pocket. If you see a "journalist" heading in your direction, take a quick glance to remind yourself of your key points. You've got 10 - 30 seconds to say what you want to say before the journalist cuts you off, attacks you or leaves looking for something nasty with which to paint the event.
Do NOT lose this card or litter! It will be used as evidence tea partiers are drones.

One suggestion for a topic: "THEY have quadrupled Bush's deficit and with even less to show for it." That takes away the "BUT BUSH" rebuttal they'll add in the editing room to dismiss the concern.

Take a camera or video camera if you can. When ACORN disrupts, have your own tape of what happened, as they will surely be prepared to show the wold what they want them to see happened. If a "journalist" shows up you can tape them reporting on the tea party. Let the world see what the "journalist" did without the benefit of their editing room. The last thing the mainstream media wants is your recorded version being matched to their hatchet job.

ACORN WILL disrupt. WILL pretend to be other partiers. WILL show up with racist and otherwise offensive signs. WILL play every dirty trick. WILL likely try to incite violence. Rahm and the cabal will have made sure of it. Stay calm.

Off Drudge
Washington Post sells access, $25,000+

"For $25,000 to $250,000, The Washington Post is offering lobbyists and association executives off-the-record, nonconfrontational access to 'those powerful few' — Obama administration officials, members of Congress, and the paper’s own reporters and editors.

The astonishing offer is detailed in a flier circulated Wednesday to a health care lobbyist, who provided it to a reporter because the lobbyist said he feels it’s a conflict for the paper to charge for access to, as the flier says, its 'health care reporting and editorial staff.'"

"'Underwriting Opportunity: An evening with the right people can alter the debate,' says the one-page flier. "Underwrite and participate in this intimate and exclusive Washington Post Salon, an off-the-record dinner and discussion at the home of CEO and Publisher Katharine Weymouth. ... Bring your organization’s CEO or executive director literally to the table. Interact with key Obama administration and congressional leaders …"

Now that it's public Wapo is claiming this is all one great big misunderstanding. And so Chicago politics, briefly expose to the light, goes back into the shadows again.

"Key Obama administration and congressional leaders" it reads. You think those Democrats aren't getting a cut of the twenty five THOUSAND to attend?

These are the people who promised to bring change to Washington, to end corruption, cut off special interests, and who are looking out for the little guy.
This is our unbiased "THERE IS NO LIBERAL" mainstream media, acting as a direct fund raising tool and propaganda machine for the Democrats.
This is the Democrat Party.

The following embedded media is a short interview with the man whose report questioning global warming was squashed by the EPA. Worth the watch. Note the C02 vs temperature change charts. Take special note of the projections versus reality.

"BUT MELVIN! Science has proven CO2 and radiation will cause blah blah blah." Temperatures are going down or staying the same. Know why? No. You don't. No offense intended. But you don't. Because long term climate science is poorly understood theory. That seems a lousy foundation to destroy the greatest nation on earth.


Unbelievable: Obama asking states to lie when counting jobs 'saved or created' by stim bill "Meanwhile, some state officials worried about how they were supposed to count jobs credited to the stimulus. Now, the White House Office of Management and Budget has given states guidance calming these concerns.
'All we're asking them to do is a simple headcount; tell us how many people you hired,' said Rob Nabors, the deputy director of the office, in an interview.
Recipients won't be asked to grapple with complicated estimates, he added. Instead, they may use their best guess whether a job would have been created or saved in the absence of a recovery plan, and to not count it if they are uncertain."
Just make it up. How nice. If Republicans had balls every one of them doing the reporting would answer "1 billion."

Who railroaded the Amtrak inspector general? "Watchdogs are an endangered species in the Age of Obama. The latest government ombudsman to get the muzzle: Amtrak inspector general Fred Weiderhold. The longtime veteran employee was abruptly 'retired' last month –just as the government-subsidized rail service faces mounting complaints about its meddling in financial audits and probes."

Another assault on speech. Behind the cancellation of the Atlanta/Gwinnett Mall Tea Party "With 15,000 to 20,000 people in attendance, the Atlanta Tea Party on April 15 was a resounding success. Hoping to match or surpass the success of their peaceful and well-organized Tea Party in April, organizers of the July 4 Atlanta Tea Party had planned for a family-friendly Independence Day event that would accommodate a very large crowd of Tea Party Patriots." "However, at the eleventh hour, the Atlanta Tea Party was forced to cancel its Independence Day celebration in Gwinnett County after being blind-sided by the objections of Gwinnett Place Mall (a Simon Company)."
I guarantee if you follow the money this will lead to "dissent is was patriotic" Democrats. Where is the Pravda media? If a 20K gathering of ACORN supporters was canceled under false pretenses two weeks before the event I think we'd hear of it.

Stossel on Socialized Medicine Average wait time in emergency rooms in Canada: 23 hours. "Polls show Canadians like their government run system.

c/o john_j_enright According to the Democrat Speaker of the California State Assembly providing feedback or exercising one's Democratic right to representatives when countering Liberal policy is terrorism and should be prevented. "The Republicans were essentially threatened and terrorized against voting for revenue. Now [some] are facing recalls. They operate under a terrorist threat: 'You vote for revenue and your career is over.' I don't know why we allow that kind of terrorism to exist. I guess it's about free speech, but it's extremely unfair." FREEDOM AND DEMOCRACY SHOULD BE PREVENTED IF IT GETS IN THE WAY! THIS IS THE LIBERAL MIND!

Depp Out of His Depth Johnny Depp on John Dillinger, another typical Liberal. Exceptional actor. Complete idiot.

I totally forgot to mention this from over the weekend! I would like to congratulate all the winners of the race entertainment awards. I hear the race entertainment awards were quite successful. I hope the audience enjoyed the race entertainment awards. I think we can all gather together in this spirit and say, "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character." Speaking of that, here's a piece on the awards and racist Jaime Foxx. I wish I had video, as the quote doesn't do it justice. You need to hear the emphasis to really get it.
Foxx on Michale Jackson at the BET Awards: "We want to celebrate this black man - he belongs to us - and we shared him with everybody else." In Hollywood especially, racism is okay as long as it's the right kind.

I will post more on this thought later, or possibly just my archived post from previous years. We'll see. Starting tomorrow afternoon I will largely be out of circulation until Monday or Tuesday.


Over the next few days I implore you to remember and remind everyone you know of one incredibly important and simple thought. I make this mistake myself. I slip. We must all strive to correct our thinking. In these times especially, when we have a regime bent on "rule" over the populace, and successful across the board in their implementation of that goal, we need to remember this more than ever.


July 4th is just a date on a calendar. In three days we celebrate the anniversary of our Independence Day. Please remember what that means.


When asked what type of government America would have Benjamin Franklin said, "A Republic, if you can keep it." In these times those words are more important than ever. A key point in remembering that fact is to remember July 4th isn't just a date for us to enjoy family, friends, gluttony and fireworks. It is the day that marks our independence from tyranny and the celebration of Liberty. If it dies here it dies everywhere.

Off Drudge.

Federal agents hunt for guns, one house at a time

If the reader is someone who believes in Liberty and an honest reading of the 2nd Amendment to the Constitution the slant in this article should be as disturbing as the subject.


Take note if you will, the ATF and this "journalist" think that harassing Americans and forcing reviews of their books while in plain clothes is okay. Meanwhile, there is no mention of how regulating our border might help. This is all to stop guns being used in a country that also does not regulate its border. To them the problem remains the inanimate objects Liberals fear.

What does the most tax ridden state in the country think is a priority in these hard times?
What made Glenn want to hang himself?

"GLENN: We're bailing out states. California is now today starting to issue IOUs. I don't know about you, but I think they're good for it. New York, New Jersey, Michigan, Massachusetts, Indiana, Arizona. States on the edge. Arizona may fold tomorrow. Indiana's not far behind. New Jersey, well, New Jersey, they are turning things around because they have Operation Porchlight."
They are hanging free light bulbs from your doorknob. It gets better. The slogan on the box? "Change" within reach.
I'm glad New Jersey has its priorities straight, buying people light bulbs and campaigning for Obama.
BTW, those bulbs are manufactured in China. No American workers were hired to make those bulbs. Guess what else? China can't give a damn about the environment, so you have no idea what they've done to precious Mother Earth to make those mercury tainted bulbs.

(I've looked for news on this next. When I find it I'll put it up.)

But New Jersey may not be the highest tax burden in the country now! New York is not to be outdone.

Glenn Beck: NY slips in retroactive tax
"GLENN: I swear to you it's unreal what these people think they can get away with and how long are we going to let them get away with it. We're just talking about the New York tax increase. Larger than announced for the wealthy. Larger than what they announced [...] The higher New York income taxes are described in Pages 199 to 208 of a 907 page bill labeled education, labor and family assistance."
"GLENN: In a 907 page bill, education and family assistance. In New York the combination of new state taxes plus new city taxes result in a top tax rate of 12.62%. That is above California's brand new higher tax of 10.55%."
"The thing I want to know, I want to talk to a tax attorney. I want to know how is it legal to put a retroactive tax in? And I'd like to know before they figure it out, how far back can you go? Because if they can go back six months, can they go back a year? Can they go back a year and a half? How far can they go back?"

RETROACTIVE taxes. Passed at night. In a nine HUNDRED page bill. Titled for education.

Will New Yorkers storm the capital or bend over and ask for more from their Democrat rulers? For the rest of us, don't think for a second the Obamunists aren't looking to see if NY gets away with it as a trial run.

Here's some perspective for you: "The entire foundation of our country - the complete design for our entire government — is clearly explained in only 11 pages. [...]
Yet the bill that was passed on June 26, 2009 by 219 of our elected representatives — people to whom we’ve entrusted our Constitution, men and women who have sworn an oath to uphold it - was more than 1200 pages long."
The Brevity Act: Time for a 28th Amendment "Therefore, I am respectfully proposing a 28th Amendment to our Constitution. I call it the Brevity Act.
'No law, bill, resolution or any act of Congress shall exceed 2000 words, including all footnotes, amendments and signatures. Congress shall not vote on any item longer than that. Each item requiring a vote shall be read aloud in its entirety in session to a majority of members. Those not in attendance may not vote on the item.'"

Wal-Mart backs employer health insurance mandate "Wal-Mart has embraced President Barack Obama's call for requiring all large employers to offer health insurance to their workers, adding momentum to the president's push for far-reaching changes to the nation's health care system." Keep in mind Obama plans to tax employer provided health care.
"Wal-Mart, the nation's largest private employer, announced its position in a letter to congressional and administration officials Tuesday. [...] The letter was also signed by Andrew L. Stern, president of the Service Employees International Union, which has more than a million members and counts more U.S. health workers than any other union. Also signing it was John Podesta, who headed Obama's transition team and is president of the Center for American Progress." Those are two of Obama's top future brownshirts, and people Wal Mart would NEVER have agreed with two years ago. People should shudder when they consider the dark cloud of fear that must hang over business for this to have taken place. We are IN a fascist state.

Election theft: successful. Franken-fied: Make way for (another) clown; Update: Coleman statement added When they can steal a Senatorial election little is beyond their reach. The evil mush mouth comedian Franken now represents Minnesota as a Senator. Now THAT is a joke. I'd like to take this opportunity to send a big F U to Minnesotans. That you allowed it to be close enough to steal is unforgivable.

Obama's lavish luau "Have you read about last week's White House luau, which flew in Hawai'i's premier luau entertainers as well as plenty of Hawaiian-grown fresh food? The rest of us, of course, are being told to eat locally." Obama and the Democrats talk about the common man but think they are better than you. When will rank and file Democrats wake up.

Liberty in the time of "hope" and "change" Hate Crimes Bill Would Federalize Criminal Law, Revive Double Jeopardy "The Matthew Shepard Hate Crimes Prevention Act (S. 909) now before the Senate, establishes 'thought crime,' violates equal protection by making some victims more important than others, elevates 'sexual orientation' and 'gender identity' to be equivalent to civil rights categories like race, and greatly expands the federal role in criminal law.
In short, it’s a grab bag of ways to violate genuine constitutional rights while addressing a non-issue. There is no compelling evidence that bias-motivated crimes are not being handled properly and perpetrators punished." Oh, but it makes people feeeeeeeeeel good.

The genius of the children of Alinsky. Obama Gives Biden Iraq Assignment Obama doesn't care if every man, woman and child in Iraq die. He tried to give them up for dead as a Senator. This is brilliant. Obama KNOWS there will be corruption with the stimulus. Put Biden in charge. He think sthere will be violence in Iraq, that it will turn into a failure (In no small part to his help). Put Biden in charge. Everything can be blamed on Jo who can be thrown under the bus for 2012.



Grapevine
CONSENSUS! Are Polar Bears Really in Trouble Due to Global Warming? "One of the world's leading polar bear experts has been told to stay away from an international conference on the animals because his views are 'extremely unhelpful,' according to an e-mail by the chairman of the Polar Bear Specialist Group, Dr. Andy Derocher. [...] Taylor says the polar bear population has actually increased over the last 30 years." Claim global warming get grants and rewards. Deny it and get ostracized and hushed. Why wouldn't we trust those who push global warming? Clearly they believe their message speaks for itself.
Some hope for the media. Their pride might get them. "Finally, some left-leaning journalists are taking shots at each other for being too soft on the president in a debate on CNN’s 'Reliable Sources' Sunday afternoon." Maybe mocking each other might spur them to DO THEIR JOBS.

New White House messenger? Ashton Kutcher Remember when Democrats went NUTS because Bush went to Hollywood to help get support? "'I've been asked by the white house to twet this' wrote Kutcher." I don't care about the good of the cause involved. I care that this is just another day of the blatant dangerous hypocrisy of Democrats.

Krugman: Opponents of climate change bill are traitors to planet earth "Yesterday, The New York Times columnist had this to say about opponents of the climate change bill: 'as I watched the deniers make their arguments, I couldn't help thinking that I was watching a form of treason - treason against the planet.'" "For you earthlings, Tom Maguire supplies the necessary verbal spanking to Krugman: 'Paul Krugman celebrates his Nobel Prize in Polemics by declaring that all those who disagree with him on global warming are traitors to the planet. No, I am not sure what that means either, but it certainly sets a high rhetorical bar'"

Obama fails to stand up for American interests in Honduras
To Meddle, Or Not To Meddle Obama called government sponsored slaughter in the streets of Iran "vigorous debate," didn't feel he should meddle, and left open an invitation for Iranian diplomats to come to our embassies for Independence day. But in Honduras he worked for days before action took place. The common denominator is what it always is with Democrats.
"President Obama does whatever it takes to keep anti-American dictators in power. In Iran: don't meddle. In Honduras: meddle. In Venezuela: soul shake. In Saudi Arabia: bow."

JUSTICE beats "empathy" for now. SCOTUS overturns Sotomayor on Ricci (updated) "On a 5-4 vote, the Supreme Court overturned the Ricci case, in which white firefirefighters were denied promotion because not enough minorities passed it the promotion exam.
It is good the Court ruled against targeting white males for discrimination. But the bad news is that 4 justices disagree, with Sotomayor having decided with the minority at the appellate court level." It is truly sickening that people can be denied promotion because a quota wasn't fulfilled. Why does the left think racism is okay? Must they always side with evil?

Surprise! Obama won't 'rule out' Middle Class tax increase Witness this bastard Axelrod andthe twisted thinking from these people. He explains that Obama keeping his word on tax increases would actually be a betrayal of those trying to find solutions. ISN'T HE NOBLE!

But don't worry. The White House is right on top of what's important. Biden Announces White House Advisor on Violence Against Women Now I know what some of you might be thinking. "But Melvin, violence against women is bad, and so this makes me feeeeel oh so gooooood." Obviously it's bad! WTF is the FEDERAL government going to do about it except create gigantic expensive bureaucracies that accomplish almost no good but are very effective at continuing the open misandry of the Left. In the middle of the worst financial crisis in decades and everything else going on, the priority is a "violence against women" czar? Really? I'm glad women are so independent and strong thanks to decades of Democrat meddling that now they need direct federal government protection.

ACES Up Her Sleeve "Madam-Speaker used every dirty trick at her disposal to coldly ram a 1,500 page global warming bill through the House of Representatives.
The Speaker chose to stifle the usual observances of deliberative democracy because open, honest debate would have attracted unwelcome scrutiny to her massive new energy tax." "Indeed, House leadership crafted much of the ACES Act in secret behind closed doors. In the week before the final vote, it grew by a whopping 600 pages. Even that figure doesn't stress the urgent, secretive nature of the process. At 3:09 Friday morning, Waxman et al. introduced a 309-page 'manager's amendment' to the legislation that was set for a vote later in the day." "1,200 pages of text -- containing, at last count, 397 new government regulations and 1,090 new economic mandates -- followed by over 300 pages of text with no index that amended the previous legislation on paragraph by paragraph basis.
It would take a team of lawyers several days to sort out a mess like that."

Today's Qs for O's WH – 6/26/2009 "TAPPER: Greenpeace announced yesterday that it opposes the energy legislation. And I know that President Obama wanted, or originally proposed 100 percent auction, and it's now down to 15 percent. Greenpeace says that the lobbyists have gotten to this bill and watered it down so much that -- that it's better not to pass it. I'm wondering if President Obama feels that this is the best bill that can pass Congress," 15 percent. GREENPEACE says not to bother. Why? Because this is a special interest buyout like everything else Obama does. This is to accumulate power with YOUR money. I can't wait to watch the middle class Obama supporters weep when they realize what they've done.

Grapevine "House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers no longer plans to investigate the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now — known as ACORN. ... 'the powers that be decided against it.'"
"Meanwhile, Conyers' wife could be going to prison. Detroit City Council member Monica Conyers today pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit bribery."
This is what Democrats call a Congress without corruption.

Worth the quick read. Daily Gut: The Military, the Media, and the Martini Witness the bias of USA Today, how the typical mainstream media spins reality. "The paper reported that 'Soldiers…with alcoholism or alcohol abuse, such as binge drinking, increased from 6.1 per 1,000 soldiers in 2003 to an estimated 11.4 as of March 31.'" OMG our soldiers are turning into drunken madmen!!! What does the military DO TO THEM?!? *MOAN* *Gnash teeth* But wait... "Twenty percent of males in the general population binge drink – that’s one in five. In the military - largely made up of young males who deserve to drink - it’s six soldiers per 1,000."

Perez Hilton: Violence Isn’t the Answer, Violent Laughter Is LOL! An excellent breakdown of what happened with this scumbag. Love this: "The astonishing irony of this statement is apparently lost on Mario/Perez. You don’t see Jews going around calling neo-Nazis “kikes” - Jews recognize that there’s nothing insulting about being Jewish. You don’t see African-Americans going around suggesting that KKK members are “niggers” - they recognize there’s nothing insulting about being black. But Mario believes there is something egregiously wrong with being a “fag.” No wonder GLAAD condemned him."
Another tidbit not in this article that amused me was one part of Mario's weepy explanation. In it he explained his attacker came up behind him and punched him in the face. I think an important part of that story must be missing.

VIDEO (2:10): Tea Party Patriots Invite Janeane Garofalo for America's Tea Party on July 4, 2009! Liberal bigots don't want to examine their insane accusations. I guarantee you after this is done she'll dig up one sign, or video of one idiot, probably planted by ACORN, saying the wrong things, as evidence that all tea partiers are bigots. There is no mystery to the Left, except for just how bad they are.

Karma does exist

But now who will scream at me in my nightmares?

But seriously, in the interview he seems like a nice quiet guy. A shame. We forget how fragile life can be. Killed by a piece of luggage while sitting comfortably on a plane.

EDIT: Having since read a couple of interviews and thoughts on him now I feel like a real dick.
Yeah, I found him kind of annoying. But in a lovable way. And you know what? He was a hero of the free market. You didn't forget him or what he promoted easily. That was his job and he did it well.

R.I.P. big guy.

2nd EDIT: It was a heart attack.

I've missed a lot of television news lately. Since his death any time a news program covered Michael Jackson for more than a minute I've changed the channel for at least an hour. As a result I've watched almost no tv news. Meanwhile I was obsessed with the New Dark Ages bill then occupied with other things, causing my reading to lag.

I did catch Senior Advisor to the President Axelrod on Meet the Press explain how the White House didn't coordinate questions with a reporter for their news conference, but rather they just wanted a question from inside Iran, knew he'd ask that question, and called him to make sure he was in the press pool and prepared to ask the question. I am sickened that these people can get away with this. I'm trying to think of actions by Bush that enraged the Democrats that Obama hasn't either continued or committed tenfold. Yet they sit in content silence.



When did the lowbrows take over the culture? "As a nation we are under the thumb of idiots. Not just indoctrinated, or wrong-thinking, or power-hungry, or manipulative, or even malevolent people. No, I mean real lowbrows, people who constantly fall for really stupid ideas."
"Or maybe there's such a thing as learned stupidity. How else can so many people be so idiotic? Our national IQ has dropped to about 75: Several standard deviations below normal.
Well, we have now voted in a President for the lowbrows. Yes, Obama himself is smart enough; even smart enough to say a few years ago that he didn't feel ready for the presidency. Well, now we can see why he said that. But legions of idiots voted for a man who was plainly unqualified, even by his own estimation, and surrounded by a bunch of malignant sociopaths like Wright and Ayers and all the rest. How could he possibly win? Well, Obama cynically appealed to the idiots -- the young, the stupid, the naive, the silly, the rock idol worshippers, and probably the drug-addled masses, all the lowbrows in the land."
"That includes the idiot savants of academia. Academics have a very narrow band of intelligence, something that satirists since Aristophanes have noticed and poked fun at. [...] Academics can be incredibly ignorant and dumb outside of their small areas of expertise. Professors and media scribblers generally lack human smarts. They are sure suckers for all the con artists of the day.
Obama is a smooth-talking hustler who has specialized in charming academic liberals, like a smart graduate student who needs to impress his teachers with every word."
"The rise to power and fame of the real lowbrows explains a lot. It even points to an answer of sorts. Because we've all been intimidated by the Cult of Nice not to contradict anybody who comes out with a really stupid, destructive idea. We can no longer call a really stupid idea what it is. I know that I censor myself all the time. We have been taught to keep our mouths shut when a word in time might make a real difference. We have allowed the national conversation to be dumbed down.
Here's my resolution for July Fourth: From now on I'm going to call idiocy idiotic."

Why Obama changed his mind on hot dog diplomacy Remember how he supported Reverend Wright no matter his offenses up until He, Messiah Obama, was personally insulted? Here's a theory for you. "After all the kisses and hugs the Obama administration has sent to the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran the last few months, to be called Bush clones by Ahmadinejad, must really be grating. The Obama team was able to put up with arrest and shooting of protestors in Iran without getting too excited, and seemed not too agitated about Iran's near completed nuclear program. But being compared to Bush is beyond the pale."

Obama is now Negotiating with Terrorists "In truth, it’s worse than that. Even as the mullahs are terrorizing the Iranian people, the Obama administration is negotiating with an Iranian-backed terrorist organization and abandoning the American proscription against exchanging terrorist prisoners for hostages kidnapped by terrorists. Worse still, Obama has already released a terrorist responsible for the brutal murders of five American soldiers in exchange for the remains of two deceased British hostages."
"Undermining that policy endangers all American troops and civilian personnel — as well as the troops and civilian personnel of our allies — by encouraging terrorists to kidnap them to use as bargaining chips." Where is our Pravda media? Oh right. On their knees in front of Obama. Where is Congress?

Kerry wishes it were Palin who had gone missing "When told of Governor Mark Sanford's (R-SC) mysterious four day disappearance 'Too bad,' Kerry said, 'if a governor had to go missing it couldn't have been the governor of Alaska. You know, Sarah Palin.' The Democratic-centric crowd laughed." As always, imagine if this "joke" were made by a Republican. NOW and the rest of the professional grievance mongers would have gone nuts. But bashing Palin is fair game.

Dems almost come to blows on House Floor A shouting match and a shove in Congress. I wouldn't so much mind, as I think Congress could use some shouting and shoving with what's going on these days. What bothers me is the argument involved yelling about how they won't support each other's earmarks. They are fighting on the floor of Congress over your tax money like alley dogs fighting over a bone. Meanwhile the press doesn't find this worth reporting and no one cares.

A Lame Liberal Media Response to a Lame EPA Response to Cover-up Allegations (Updated)

The Real UN Resolution 242 "Since we are about to embark on another fruitless peace effort in the Middle East, it probably makes sense to take another look at the UN Resolution we will be hearing a lot about over the next few months, UN Resolution 242.
You will hear politicians and diplomats claim that Israel must withdraw to the pre-1967 borders per UN Resolution 242. These people have no Idea what the resolution calls for"

c/o john_j_enright, Chambliss blocks regulatory pick over animal lawsuits

Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-Ga.) has blocked President Obama’s candidate for regulation czar, Harvard law professor Cass Sunstein, because Sunstein has argued that animals should have the right to sue humans in court.

Obama has picked Sunstein, his adviser and longtime friend, to head the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, an office that has power to review and assess all draft regulations proposed within the administration.

But Chambliss worries that Sunstein’s innovative legal views may someday lead to a farmer having to defend himself in court against a lawsuit filed on behalf of his chickens or pigs.

Chambliss told The Hill that he has blocked Sunstein’s nomination because the law professor “has said that animals ought to have the right to sue folks.”

Indeed, in his 2004 book, Animal Rights: Current Debates and New Directions, Sunstein wrote: “I will suggest that animals should be permitted to bring suit, with human beings as their representatives, to prevent violations of current law.”

It's a shame Americans are so blissfully ignorant as the Republic is torn down around them. If people were aware of more things like this I would like to believe they'd see the threat from this collection of nutcases. If not, at least the inevitable results wouldn't come as such a surprise.

Credit where it's due. Boehner: Climate bill a 'pile of shit'

"When asked why he read portions of the cap-and-trade bill on the floor Friday night, Boehner told The Hill, 'Hey, people deserve to know what's in this pile of s--t.'

Using his privilege as leader to speak for an unlimited time on the House floor, Boehner spent an hour reading from the 1200-plus page bill that was amended 20 hours before the lower chamber voted 219-212 to approve it."

Boehner should also point out that his having read that bill for an hour almost certainly meant he had read more of the bill than any member of Congress.
