Time to Take off the Gloves

 

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.  

It’s time to take the gloves off. It’s time that liberals across the fruited plain be educated into the ways of freedom and liberty; the very values they hate so much.

Who Knew?

 

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. 

Simply put, Congress is broken and it cannot be fixed short of starting all over again. The president is a failure and his agenda cannot be fixed short of starting all over again.   We need to act as intelligent Americans and vote these buffoons out of office as soon as possible.   Every single Democrat and quite a few Republicans are showing their true colors of being downright un-American. Anyone who supported the porkulus bill needs to be ejected from office as soon as the ballot boxes open in 2010.   In the meantime, we need to get the word out to our friends and we need to ensure that everyone who has an ounce of intelligence is registered to vote before the next election.   As for the idiots who elected these folks to office, tell them that the 2010 elections have been cancelled by fiat of Obama and maybe they’ll actually stay home instead of using their vote to further endanger the future of economic freedom and individual liberty.

Why Liberals Are Really Upset with AIG

 

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. 

Then again, we are talking AIG here who the government clearly is catering to.  Could it possibly be because AIG holds the Congressional Pension Fund? Remember, Congress cares nothing about you or I, but they do care about their own assets and if AIG goes under where does that leave Princess Pelosi’s retirement?
