The Oklahoma legislature has voted to declare sovereignty under the 10^th Amendment to the Constitution.   This comes just weeks after Texas governor Rick Perry made the same declaration of his state’s right to secede.  Given our nation is no more as the result of northeast and west coast liberals, it is time that we wholeheartedly support the efforts of those who strive for economic freedom and individual liberty.  All I can say is that I am glad that Texas and Oklahoma have a lot of open space because they should expect a huge influx of people if they can pull this off.  I've got a call into Allied Van Lines today!

While common sense seems to prevail in the south central portion of America, the idiots in the nation of New England are at it again with Maine and New Hampshire getting ready to permit gay marriage. Mind you, this was done with legislative fiat without the vote of the people. My guess is if the people had their say so, which they won’t, they would do precisely what Californians did last year and defeat the nonsensical notion that marriage is anything other than the way God intended; between man and woman. 

The number of unemployed is up yet again. Guess this stimulus package is really working wonders on the economy.   Hey, at least the welfare rolls continue to grow which should ensure Democrats another good round of elections.   Did you ever wonder what our Congress would look like if only tax paying Americans were permitted to vote? 

Have you heard that 6 of the 9 new board members on Chrysler will either be government or union appointees? Considering liberals and unions have destroyed our schools, forced manufacturing overseas and undermined free enterprise I give the company six months to die a slow and miserable death under the guidance of the truly incompetent.  Ditto for GM which is really nothing more than a health care administrator that just so happens to make some cars on the side.  

Rather than throwing good money after bad what if the government were to give money only to those who paid taxes.   No more money to GM, AIG or ACORN. No more money to illegal aliens or terrorists. With 140 million tax payers, the government could give every one of them 100,000 dollars which equals about 14 trillion in total expenditure. Given the trillions already spent, this is actually doable.   Let Americans decide what to do with the money with the stipulation that at least 50% must go to paying down debt and 25% going to purchasing of products made in America. There’s no doubt in my mind this would result in the greatest period of economic growth since the days of Ronald Reagan.  

Of course this won’t happen because we all know that of the 140 million Americans that pay taxes most are conservative and government handouts are all about buying Democrat votes which come from the uneducated and uninformed.   So rather than get our nation on track, the liberals in Washington would rather have us wallow in economic misery just as long as they have their jobs…oh yes and their AIG backed pensions. 

Isn’t it amazing how common sense can fix everything? I think someone once wrote a book about it. Maybe it’s time for a 2009 version because it is greatly lacking inside the beltway.

According to a new Pew Research poll 88% of Democrats approve of the job Obama is doing while pretending to be president.   Only 27% of Republicans feel the same way.   The idiocy among Democrats should come as no surprise, because well…they are Democrats. Besides, being an idiot is a key indicator of being afflicted by liberalism.   

The significance of this margin is that it is the most polarized in the history of presidential polling coming in a day and age of a president who called for bipartisanship.   The hard and fast truth is that there was never any intention for bipartisanship other than shutting the other side up with Constitutional abuses such as the Fairness Doctrine and an all out assault on our right to defend ourselves from the very government that is usurping our rights on a daily basis. 

Obama’s bipartisan rhetoric is on par with Hugo Chavez airing Radio Free Venezuela.   The fact is that Obama has achieved failure faster than any president in history.   His administration is riddled with tax cheats who see the only salvation to our problems as government when the reality is that government is the cause of every problem facing us today.  

Without government interference in the housing market, our homes would be worth double their current value.   Without government interference and special interest union thuggery we would have no trade deficit and would still be a manufacturing behemoth.   Without government condoned child abuse our schools would actually be able to produce productive citizens.   Without government sanctioned racism, such as affirmative action,  there would be no racism in our nation. 

Is there anything the government does right? Sometimes we drop a bomb on a terrorist, but besides that they ride the short bus in everything they do.   If you don’t believe me, pay a visit to a housing project or VA Hospital.   Perhaps now is the time for government to back off but that is not part of the Obama template where greed and corruption are the norm. 

Making matters worse are those running Congress.   Nancy Pelosi is undoubtedly the most incompetent Speaker of the House in history.   Harry Reid clearly has this same distinction in the Senate. Yet Democrats don’t get it. They actually think that this caste of incompetent boobs is helping our nation.   Maybe when unemployment hits 10%, which it will, Democrats will start to wake up. 

If you had any doubt as to whether Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner is a kook that doubt should be erased today.    With the mere suggestion that government have the right to seize private business on a whim Geithner has gone from a simple tax cheat to a fascist who should be immediately removed from office and charged with Treason. Yes, suggesting government takeovers is tantamount to a Stalinist tactic which by its very nature is un-American and seditious. 

Of course nobody in the mainstream media is commenting on this because they would have egg on their face.   The mere suggestion that Obama and his cohorts were Marxists was met with jeers and scowls just months ago, but once again it is another “I told you so moment”.

In a recent poll 39% of Americans believe that America is becoming socialist, 36% don’t.   I guess the rest are too busy watching American Idiot or Dancing with the Tards to have an opinion.   So let’s go with 39%, nearly 4 in 10.   If you don’t think that’s a lot consider it’s about the same number that Bill Clinton got when he was elected to office.  

Take this one step further and consider that these 39% are obviously the intelligent and successful amongst us who have skin in the game.   These are the people who work for a living, own businesses and control the majority of wealth in this country.   In other words, these are the members of the non political class who wield the power that government is trying to usurp. 

Folks, this is how electoral revolution’s start.   This type of ground swell will gain momentum even in the face of a hostile mainstream media that wouldn’t know the truth if it hit them between the eyes.   The current level of anger among those of us who are successful could result in a revolt at the ballot box like none ever seen in the history of our Republic, especially if the terrorists that our elected leaders like to coddle decide to strike at our homeland again. 

To sum up the disaster in Washington would take pages.   To put it bluntly this administration has achieved what no other has ever done; they have failed in the first 100 days.   Those of us with IQ’s over 80 knew that Obama was woefully inexperienced and that is showing through in everything from his going back on campaign promises to the filling of cabinet positions with Clintonistas.  

Crime, corruption and graft are polluting Congress as the mainstream media bats a blind eye.  Yes, stealing from our children in the name of special interests is a crime.  The Speaker of the House, third in line to inherit the throne, is proving to be the biggest political failure in history, making even Jimmy Carter look like a genius. 

Over at the Senate, Harry Reid is jockeying to take the title of incompetence away from Speaker Pelosi in quite impressive fashion.  

The GOP has an opportunity to seize this moment, but they need to do it in visible fashion. They need to make a public spectacle of every aspect of the nanny state agenda being proposed by liberals. They need to not only make a spectacle of it, but make fun of it. The liberal lunacy should be mocked for just how pathetic it is. In fact we all should be mocking our liberal friends to enlighten them to just how dumb they truly are if they are supporting this seditious socialist ideology.  

Since nobody is actually taking B. Hussein Obama seriously anymore I guess it is only appropriate that he accepted an invitation to be a guest of Jay Leno’s; another celebrity that nobody takes seriously either.      If Obama was Pinocchio his nose would have been three feet long after denying knowledge, and expressing outrage, over the AIG bonuses.  

It’s no secret that not only did Obama know about the bonuses, but as the elected leader he condoned these bonuses; not to mention accepting his very own six figure bonus from the failed financial giant in the form of a campaign contribution. 

Perhaps Obama should have shown similar outrage over the 9000 earmarks that were stuck in the most recent spending bill.   Given the billions upon billions spent on butterfly farms, hybrid blueberries and candy flavored condoms these AIG bonuses as a pittance.  

Folks, the problem is not the bonuses but rather the collusion, lying and orchestrated maneuvering by the government, in particular Chris “Fannie and Freddie and just fine” Dodd and Turbo Tax Timmy that allowed this to happen in the first place.  And now the government has the gall to actually express outrage at what they condoned in the first place! Perhaps if these liberal idiots would read the legislation that they are passing then all of this, and other outrages most certainly coming down the pike, could be avoided.   But no, they are liberals where fact, logic and common sense are as evil as enforcing immigration laws and questioning Islamic fascists. 

This entire administration has turned into one laughable joke in less than 100 days.   They are proving to be liars who hold themselves to be above the law in a nation that has turned into a banana republic.   They are using Congressional power to steal money and assets that is not theirs.   Don’t get me wrong, I am not condoning the bonuses that were given but to use government power to steal that money back is not only illegal, but it is an egregious act of abuse the likes not seen since Nazi Germany. Bottom line, if they didn’t want the bonuses given then they should have done something about them back in September rather than waiting until it was politically expedient. 

The public is upset at AIG execs receiving $165 million in bonuses.   Not to minimize this, but what about the $20 billion dollars, an amount that dwarfs these bonuses, which was paid by AIG to foreign banks?   Does that not matter, or is it something that liberals think won’t rile up the public?

 According to records from the TARP bailout these bonuses were used to retain employees and were part of employment contracts. Given this being the case, shouldn't this current outrage have occurred back in September when the bailout occurred? Then again, it’s probably taken Congress that long to read what they actually voted on.  

Even more irritating is that Turbo Tax Tim Geithner was involved in much of what transpired between AIG and the feds.   He was well aware of these bonuses, as well as the billions of dollars in bailout money going to foreign banks.   He did nothing, kind of like he did when it came time to pay his taxes.  

Then there is Obama himself, a recipient of an AIG bonus amounting to $101,332, in the form of a campaign contribution.   Perhaps this explains his crocodile tears when his teleprompter tells him to feign anger at this latest AIG exploit.  

Mind you, Obama was not alone, as Chris Dodd also received thousands of dollars in bonuses for his campaign.   Of course, if it wasn’t for his lack of oversight when it came to Fannie and Freddie, nobody would be in this mess and our homes would be worth about 50% more than their current value. But hey, we wouldn’t want the mainstream media to report the truth now would we .  

Whiel this entire situation is a mess, perhaps these bonuses will be enough to rile up the public, who for the most part expresses anger based upon their own class envy.   If there is any silver lining it is that these bonuses may be the straw that breaks the bailout camel’s back.   That would be a good thing.
