The War on Economic Terror

 

According to Reuters the Obama administration has dropped the term “war on terror” from its lexicon. Secretary of State, Mrs. Bill Clinton said, "The (Obama) administration has stopped using the phrase and I think that speaks for itself. Obviously." Yes, obviously this caste of incompetent buffoons has not a clue that the greatest threat to freedom (aside from Obama) are Islamic fascists. This comes on the heels of Obama closing down Club Gitmo and seeking to bring our sworn enemy to the United States where they will undoubtedly be freed into a city near you. 

To put this in perspective, these actions would be like FDR saying that Hitler wasn’t such a bad fellow and freeing all the Nazis from post WWII tribunals. Perhaps the current administration doesn’t care about the slaughter of innocent Americans but I think there are more than a few of us true Americans out there that recognize the dangers posed by Islamic fascism which is precisely why we must win the war on terror at any cost.

This action comes on the heels of Obama demanding that Rick Wagonner, CEO of General Motors resign. Excuse me but what right does a sitting president have to abuse his power to this extent? This is kind of like Hugo Chavez marching his thugs into private industry in Venezuela and demanding a change in management. In fact it’s more than kind of like, it is exactly like. This action in and of itself shows that Obama is a Marxist, which I have been predicting were his true colors since day one of his campaign to overthrow freedom. 

What’s next? Obama doesn’t like what Fox News has to say so he fires all the talking heads and puts perky little Katie on the air for 24/7?   Maybe he doesn’t like the person running your business so he’ll fire you as well.   Anyone not seeing the dangerous precedent being set by these Un-American actions surely has an incurable case of liberal derangement syndrome.  

The only constant in the Obama administration is proving to be failure; be it on the economic front, on the policy front or on the paying your taxes on time front.   These people have to go at any cost. They actually make the war on terror look like a walk in the park. Let’s clarify, that would be the war on Islamic terror.   As Americans we are now fighting a war on economic terror that is being waged against us by our very own administration who seeks to undermine our nation at any cost. 

Perhaps it’s time that we revisit history and figure out how to get out of this mess. What our current administration is doing to our nation is no different than the tyranny brought forth by Lenin, Stalin, Mao or Hitler. Only this time it is in our own backyard as liberals seek to silence of rights to economic freedom and individual liberty. They seek to dumb down the masses to ensure power forever while taking about our very own right to defend what is ours. Some call it socialism, some Marxism, some liberalism but in the end it is failure. These anti-freedom ideologies have failed through history and they are sure to fail again and it is incumbent upon us to ensure that the failure happens sooner rather than later.

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.

It's Time to Clean House...Literally.

 

Banking queen Barney Frank is now calling Justice Antonin Scalia a homophobe according to reports in My Way News.   This is coming to surface as Frank openly discusses how the courts should not have a say so in things such as abortion and gay marriage.   Reading between the typical liberal hypocrisy, what Frank, a true embarrassment to America, is saying is that conservative judges should not have a say. My guess is that he has no objection whatsoever to liberal justices sanctioning the slaughter of kids or the bastardization of marriage. 

Here’s my question; how does such an incompetent boob and pathetic excuse for a human being get elected to office? Sure, it’s Massachusetts the same state that has sent the Chappaquiddick killer back to D.C. for decades but that’s really not an excuse.   It truly is incomprehensible that the residents of the Bay State are the descendents of those who fought for our freedom. 

Here’s the good news, only 588 days until the 2010 elections when Americans will have the chance to get rid of Congress.   The question is will we wise up by then? Or will we have become such nanny state panty wastes that Queen Pelosi will get two more years?   My guess is if the young, the dumb and the uninformed show up like they did for Obama’s coronation, Pelosi, Frank, Dodd and the rest of the seditious left will be given two more years of unfettered access to stealing our money and undermining our rights.   Maybe we should start a movement called IQ80 by which everyone who is too stupid to vote is told that Election Day was moved back one week.  

Think of the possibilities if those who shouldn’t vote, didn’t? I don’t think there would be a Democrat left in Washington.   Surely the left must be outraged at this proposition, but again this is where common sense and logic show the flaw of their position.   We have to have some semblance of intelligence to graduate, get a license, become a doctor, lawyer or other professional.   We have to take tests to become citizens and to do other things that pose far less risk to our society than voting.   Let’s make everyone pass a test before they are given a Voter ID card.  

Surely this would get rid of at least half of the electorate, most likely those who aren’t paying taxes in the first place. To ensure fairness in the electoral process, those showing up to vote would have to produce their Voter ID card and Driver License.   Imagine the ire of liberals who equate producing a picture ID with some type of poll tax. Don’t think for a second that liberal politicians are stupid; they know exactly who is voting for them and it’s not the productive or successful amongst us. 

Again, simple solutions to fix our nation are put together in less than a page.   How is it possible that 535 members of Congress can see these solutions right before their very eyes.   In less than one page we would rid the world of Islamic fascists, seal the border with Mexico, execute everyone who has committed a capital crime, make our government schools competitive, end the bailouts and fix our electoral problems.   The answer is that we have complete and utter idiots milling about the Capitol Building and we have a chance to fix this trainwreck in 588 days. It’s time to get the word out that a pushbroom needs to be taken to the floor of the House.

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?

God, Guts, Guns.........and Pansies

 

God, Guts, Guns……..and Pansies

 Why is it so hard for liberals to understand what made America great?  Going back to the infancy of our nation, Real Americans (you know, those who aren't emasculated bed wetting liberals) have viewed our place as the leaders of the free world as manifest destiny.   Never before has a nation achieved so much in so little time on the sweat of those who had little to speak of but a burning desire for freedom with the only impediment to success being the scourge of liberalism. 

 Our nation was borne of the frustration of big government that raped and pillaged at will.  They silenced free speech, stole private property and enforced their will on the masses who turned out to be nothing more than sheep.   If this sounds familiar, it should.   The year may have been 1773, but it also could have been any of the couple hundred years between then and today, where the sheep still flock to their messianic leader with promises of more nanny state entitlements. 

 Truth be known, the majority of colonists did not support the out of touch visions of such radicals as Ben Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, George Washington or Samuel Adams.   They viewed those who spoke of freedom, liberty and rugged individualism with as much disdain as liberals today have for General Petraeus, George Bush, Rush Limbaugh, Newt Gingrich, Joe Arpaio or Tom Tancredo who all share a burning desire for preservation of our Constitutional rights from the continued assault being waged by the anti-American left. 

 Were it not for guns, our small militia never would have found a way to win at Saratoga or Trenton.  Were it not for guts, Thomas Payne never would have written Common Sense.   Were it not for God, Thomas Jefferson never would have had the inspiration to pen the Declaration of Independence.   Were it not for pansies, Barack Obama would not be a serious presidential candidate today.  

 Many say that we have become a disgrace; a worthless nanny state on its way to the economic hell known as socialism.   We have a nation of pansies who preach hatred of capitalism and success while bowing at the alter of failure, defeat, class warfare and racism because they know no better.  

 I beg to differ, as there are millions who do understand our plight.   Sadly, the millions who do understand make up barely a majority of Americans, and should even some of those stay home on election day, we could put in place a president who will inevitably be the 21st century of Jimmy Carter; in other words a failure of epic proportions.  

 It’s important to remember that most of the colonists were against the revolution.  My guess is that they were most often the stupid, the uninformed or equally as bad those who desired the security of the nanny state imperialist government.  While times may have changed, people have not, as we still have the stupid and the uninformed in our midst who unfortunately are allowed to vote.  Worse yet, we have those who cling to the nanny state mentality, not realizing the implications their greed will have on our freedom and our economy.

Simply put, the upcoming election will be a gathering of those who love freedom and those who are merely sheep. There is time to educate the sheep, for if we fail in this simple duty, there will be no return as liberals lead us down the beaten path to hell, better known as socialism.

Guns 'N God

 

Guns 'N God

I am beginning to think that it will take B. Hussein Obama personally flying a jet into a tall building before Americans truly understand how dangerous this terrorist sympathizing socialist really is. Equally as dangerous are the sheep who actually drink his kool aid about “hope” and “change”. I guess if his entire following consisted of DMV employees and housing project residents it would be somewhat understandable, but sadly that is not the case.

Most recently he said of his inability to garner support from the white working class, “It's not surprising, then, they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.” Like a typical elitist liberal, this guy is once again showing his complete lack of understanding of the plight of Real Americans or the devastating impact his Marxist ideology would have upon our society.

Obama clearly fails to realize that the reason Americans cling to their guns is out of fear of government, as this will provide the last line of defense as government seeks to silence the masses while stealing more of our property to redistribute to the entitlement class. He clearly lacks the intellectual wherewithal to realize that gun ownership is largely the result of increasing crime against law abiding citizens by the criminal class who are coddled and emboldened by liberals.

When it comes to religion, Obama has about as much credibility as Teddy Kennedy at an AA meeting. We have witnessed his pastor's incendiary hate filled rhetoric and the black liberation theology to which Obama seemingly prescribes.

As for people who aren't like us, who is; unless you so happen to have an identical twin. Like most liberals, Obama would like the public to believe that all whites are anti-immigrant while failing to realize that all whites in this nation are descendant's of immigrants. Hey dummy, it's not the immigrants that we are against, it's the illegal aliens who broke the laws to get here and then refuse to speak our language or assimilate to our culture.

To put it mildly, B. Hussein Obama poses no less of a danger to our nation than the Islamic fascists who seek enjoyment as they hack off the heads of infidels while extolling the virtues of some bastardized version of the so call religion of peace. He poses no less of a danger than the millions of illegals who come into our nation every year and then murder, rape and rob hard working Americans. He poses no less of a danger than the pedophile down the street, the rapist laying in wait or the street gang who kill kids on the playground in a drive by gone amiss. Simply put, he is the danger, as he and his ilk enable and encourage all of the aforementioned atrocities commited by those who seek to bring harm to our nation, our freedom and our way of life. If you don't yet understand this, then you too are part of the problem.

There is certainly more to come out on Obama, but understand that the mainstream media will put a muzzle on anything they can. How many Americans realize that Obama is friendly with domestic terrorist William Ayers, who wrought havoc across America as his Weather Underground blew up numerous government buildings and said, “Kill all the rich people. Break up their cars and apartments. Bring the revolution, kill your parents, that's where it's really at.”

If there were a connection between John McCain and this terrorist, it would be a front page headline and McCain would have already withdrawn from the race. But it's not, it's a connection between Obama and a homegrown terrorist of the same mold as Tim McVeigh. Perhaps its time that we all work to educate our family, friends and neighbors about the real B. Hussein Obama before it is too late and the only thing that will save us will be our guns and our God.

Government Makes Obscene Profits on Gas

 

Government Makes Obscene Profits on Gasoline

I just returned from Los Angeles where gasoline is routinely $4.00 dollars a gallon. Of course, this is rather expensive, although when adjusted for inflation is not the most expensive gas in history which occurred during the Jimmy Carter debacle. Yes, another factoid that liberals don't want to share with the dumb and the uninformed.

Did you know that the government profit on a gallon of gas in Los Angeles is $.71 cents? Yes, for doing absolutely nothing but sitting on their unaccountable asses, the federal, state and local governments get immense profits to waste on worthless government programs. I find it amazing that the government has the nerve to chastise Big Oil who nets a profit of only $.09 cents a gallon, much of which is reinvested into oil exploration.

In yet another inconvenient truth, it turns out that the government makes a profit that is nearly 8 times greater than the companies that actually bring the oil to our local filling stations. Perhaps it is time for government to look at their own obscene profits and understand that we could have an immediate reduction in gasoline prices if they would reduce, or better yet eliminate, fuel taxes.

As prices continue to rise in other consumer goods, one has to wonder how much of an impact the gas price is playing. Certainly it is costing more to transport goods and to provide services. This is largely the result of rising fuel costs. If the government ceased their practice of stealing an amount equal to nearly 20% of a gallon of gas, wouldn't it make sense that other consumer goods would fall by a similar amount? Perhaps rather than blaming Big Oil for this problem they should take a long hard look in the mirror as once again government is proving to be the majority of the problem.

Then again, this is nothing new. Government is an inherently inept bureaucracy filled with unaccountable employees who could never find a job in the private sector. If you don't believe, take a drive down to your local DMV or drive through a neighborhood government housing project and consider that this is exactly what our healthcare system will look like if we ever enact socialized medicine.

Yes, government is a disaster of epic proportions, especially at the federal level. Perhaps it is time to ask how many government employees we could do without? Is it 20%, 30%, 50% of the workforce? Aside from the military, is there really any need for any federal government? We have wasteful bureaucracies ranging from the Department of Health and Human Services to the Department of Education. We have an unaccountable postal service that would be more efficient and effective if it were outsourced to the private sector. In all, we have over 44,000 federal programs that are basically nothing more than a waste of everyone's time and money and in reality benefit only a very few constituents that comprise the voting base of the moveon.org Democrat Party.

Ah-ha, now we are onto something. Democrat Party, voting base, constituents and entitlements. Gee, imagine that; an entire federal government that has been designed to buy votes from the nanny state entitlement class. Once again, the truth has been revealed and at its rotten core lies yet more of the liberal agenda that seeks to do nothing but steal more of what is ours and give it to those who are too damn lazy to get a job. So the next time B. Hussein Obama rambles on about change, give some consideration to the type of change he is talking about as it undoubtedly means stealing more from us to give to his nanny state constituents.

A Sad Day For Liberals As Castro Steps Down

 

Yesterday was a very sad day for liberals across America as one of their icons, Fidel Castro, stepped down after nearly fifty years as Cuba’s murderous, Marxist dictator.   Liberals often point to Cuba as the role model for what they envision across America, with free healthcare for all and dissidents silenced by Cuba’s very own version of the Fairness Doctrine.  

If you can recall way back when, Cuba was a very prosperous nation and was an ally of the United States. The Cuban work ethic had resulted in a booming economy where capitalism and the entrepreneurial spirit were alive and prosperity abounded. Then came the Revolution of 1959, with Fidel Castro taking over and using the power of government to do exactly what liberals want to do in America today.   The successful were forced to give their businesses, land and money to the government who in turn redistributed it to those who supported the revolution and its Marxist cause.   Those who voiced opposition were jailed, tortured and murdered.   This is the Cuba that liberals don’t want you to hear about. 

Castro’s Cuba is the epitome of everything that is wrong with liberal ideology that seeks salvation through big government.   The problem is that this salvation comes at the expense of individual liberty and justice.   Just as liberalism, better known as communism and socialism, has failed in every corner of the globe it is about to come crashing down in Cuba.  

Those who were successful left Cuba which has benefited America, in particular Florida, home to a thriving Cuban-American community that has not only assimilated into our culture, but has become  highly influential in conservative politics and big business.   These are the people who realize that government is never the answer and that it should be recognized as the most imminent danger to our freedom.   Perhaps this is why Cuban-Americans have become the single biggest Republican demographic, with over 90% supporting the GOP in most national elections. The Cubans have lived through the economic destruction and pain inflicted upon their people by Castro and his Cuban counterpart to the Democrats and understandably don’t want to see a recurrence here, which can only happen if liberals are put into positions of power.  

But as a nation we are too dumb to learn this lesson because we are too busy watching American Idol. We’re too caught up in our fervor to elect Obama to be president, not because he stands for anything or is qualified but quite simply because he’s black.   Even Michelle Obama announced that “for the first time” in her life she is proud of America. From what I have gathered Michelle Obama is certainly not stupid, so to make a statement such as this simply makes her incredibly shallow.   Maybe she should learn what makes America great and Americans proud by taking a visit to the Cuban-American community in Miami or Tampa, where her husband’s greeting card monikers of hope and opportunity are for real and not some fair tale preached from afar. 

This potential first lady is among the wealthiest of all Americans, has lived a life of privilege and prosperity not found anywhere else in the world, especially in Castro’s Cuba. Despite this, she was not proud of her nation until the lower end of the gene pool decided that they should elect an inexperienced one term Senator from Illinois for the simple reason that he is black. Yes, that should really make one feel proud about their nation.  

Most Americans are proud of the way we defeated the axis, raised the flag on Iwo Jima, defeated communism, landed on the moon or thousands of other accomplishments achieved in our short history as a republic. But none of this seems to matter to Mrs. B. Hussein Obama who is simply proud because we are poised to elect our first black president.   The fact is that an Obama presidency shouldn’t make us proud, it should scare the hell out of us.  Look, if electing a black president is what it takes to make you proud, go find someone who can stop sounding like a Hallmark greeting card and can actually do the job.   Arguably Condi Rice or Colin Powell are eminently more qualified, don’t have Muslim sympathies and actually have real experience.  Then again, those of us who know this wouldn’t be vying for the annual Darwin Awards.

More Proof that Liberals Hate Freedom Unless it's on their Terms

Today I am going to sum up the problem with liberals in a nutshell; they are un-American.  I’m not talking about Democrats or centrists or moderates, rather I am talking about liberals, those pansies who subscribe to a Marxist agenda of intolerance for freedom, liberty and our Constitution. 

Perhaps no place in America embodies the anti-freedom, anti-liberty sentiment held by liberals more than Berkeley, California where America, our culture, our freedom and everything that made America great is viewed with disdain, disgust and hatred.  This become quite transparent Tuesday night when the Berkeley City Council voted 6-3 to tell the Marines that its Shattuck Avenue recruiting station "is not welcome in the city, and if recruiters choose to stay, they do so as uninvited and unwelcome intruders."


As if this seditious action wasn’t egregious enough, especially in a time of war, the council went a step further and officially encouraged the anti-American women's group Code Pink to impede the work of the Marines in the city by protesting in front of the station.  Once again, we are seeing that liberals only support freedom if it comes on their terms and when it supports their agenda of undermining the real America.


In further proving this point, Mayor Tom Bates said, "I believe in the Code Pink cause. The Marines don't belong here, they shouldn't have come here, and they should leave.”  Fine, the mayor supports a communist oriented organization and doesn’t like the marines but that does not give him a license to force those defending our nation out of the city.  


Perhaps some day soon Berkeley will be attacked, maybe by the very terrorists that they so adore.  Wouldn’t it be nice to see the military not offer to help?  Yes, let’s see how these panty waste liberals react when they become the victims of our enemies who could care less about their political leanings, which is something that liberals still fail to understand. 

For anyone remotely considering a vote for a liberal this fall, consider that this is the direction that they want to take our nation.  This is the mindset of the Pelosi/Reid/Clinton/Kennedy/Obama moveon.org Democrat Party.  The party of JFK and Truman that once understood national security, no longer exists.  This is a party that is more closely aligned to Marx and Stalin than to our very own nation and they can no longer be trusted to defend our sovereignty or our borders, especially in the midst of a war on Islamic fascisism.   If the seditious actions of the Berkeley City Council doesn’t drive this point home, I’m not sure if there is much hope for salvation.

Let the Whining Begin

 

Now that the property tax amendment has passed it is only a matter of time before certain local governments, media pundits and special interest groups start blaming the voters for everything from increased crime to lower educational results.   Rather than whining about what they can’t do, perhaps now is the time for government to adopt the “can do” attitude that made America great and understand that they can make meaningful organizational changes and cuts without adding new fees or impacting critical functions such as first responders or teachers who meet annual performance expectations.  

 

By taking an open and honest look at each role within local government it is possible to consolidate or eliminate redundant functions. To the extent government is paying people to do tasks that have been computerized in the private sector the government needs to come of age and harness technology while getting rid of outdated processes.   Government also needs to look at what could be completed more efficiently and for less cost by outsourcing to the private sector.

 

It’s time the big government, tax and spend liberals stop their complaining about their loss of tax revenue and start looking for solutions from within.   In my years as a Six Sigma Black Belt I have been involved in numerous projects that have identified and eliminated waste which can occur throughout any organization, but is especially prevalent when a structure is bloated and bureaucratic, two terms often associated with government.   Waste can be big or small, pennies or dollars, people or processes, but it does exist and it adds up to the tune of billions of dollars throughout all levels of government. 

 

Government needs to realize that people are tired of being asked to continually foot the bill for non-essential services and perceived government waste.  It is time that government focus on achievement and hold each and every one of their employees accountable for results with rewards for merit and termination for complacency.   This is an age old concept in the private sector where results are expected and failure to achieve is a surefire way of getting the axe.  

 

Perhaps now that the voters have spoken out local governments can proactively take steps to give us a return on our investment rather than find excuses to not perform as expected.  We, as citizens, have learned to do without certain luxuries while managing to fund our basic necessities.  If we can do it on the paltry sum left after government takes their more than generous share out of our paychecks so can they.

Our Enemies Best Friend; The Moveon.org Democrat Party

Last night was the President’s final state of the union address which touched on some rather interesting topics.  Of course the mainstream media wasn’t paying any attention, as they were far too preoccupied focusing on Presidential candidates B. Hussein Obama and Billary Clinton.   Obama was all smiles as he sat next to Chappaquiddick Teddy while Hillary had her usual nasty scowl on her face that certainly wasn't helped with that red dress which did nothing except alleviate stories that may have surfaced had it been a blue dress. 


I guess all the fun started just after noon yesterday when a surprisingly still sober Kennedy called a press conference to announce that he was becoming the latest in a string of inner circle Democrats to bail off the S.S. Clinton which many predict is on the verge of sinking.   


Of course there was the speech which started out well with calls to support the military, cut spending and privatize social security before digressing into more government waste.   Bush even threatened to veto any new bills that included tax increases or earmarks which was impressive, albeit seven years too late.  As usual it was interesting to see the Democrats obvious opposition to any mention of cutting taxes, cutting spending, cutting welfare, cracking down on illegal aliens or winning the war on terror which seemingly makes them appear as the friends of our enemies; like that wasn’t already transparent enough.


The mainstream media in predictable fashion will have a few negative things to say about Bush without examining the substance of his agenda.  Rather than focus on how the next president could help America by following up on such items as tax cuts and national security, they will turn their attention to the Democrat primary in an effort to brainwash the electorate to follow the beaten path to failure, better known as socialism, being promised by both Clinton and Obama who ideologically are joined at the hips. 


I don’t think there is a doubt that Hillary wins Florida today and will certainly make great strides towards getting the nomination on Super Tuesday, provided her volatile, red faced hubby stops spewing race baiting rhetoric that would do Al Sharpton proud.  The nomination is Hillary’s to lose and the best thing that could ever happen to our nation is that she receives what was once thought to be an inevitable coronation for the simple reason that her unfavorable ratings are so high making her the only unelectable Democrat in a year when ANY Democrat should be able to win. 


The election this year is critical as we are faced with two leading Democrat candidates who share a disdain for capitalism, our Constitution and our military.  They want to ban free speech with the insidious Fairness Doctrine, they want to ban our right to defend our homes and families from criminals and they want to further whittle away private property rights.  They have expressed views that are conciliatory to Islamic fascists and illegal aliens.  They view government as the end all and be all while failing to realize that government is the cause of each and every failure in our nation today.   For these very reasons it is more important now more than ever to keep moveon.org Democrats at bay until they move away from their seditious agenda that will harm the economy and put our nation in greater peril.

The Snow In Florida Is Another Inconvenient Fact for Liberals to Abhor

I spent the better part of yesterday covering my tropical oasis at my home in Florida as the result of a record low of 16 being predicted.   In fact, another freeze is called for tonight with a forecast for snow flurries around Daytona Beach.   Wow, this sounds an awful lot like global warming to me.   Seriously, if it is freezing all the way down here, there is absolutely no way ice is melting in the Arctic!

Liberals don't like when these cold snaps get in the way of their climate zealotry, as this cold could spell the end of the global warming charade which is nothing more than a means by which to create a perceived need for more government.    I'm sure they will have some type of excuse for this anomoly, but then again their cronies in the liberal media may just gloss over it or perhaps call this cold snap someting else. 

After all, isn't that how the term climate change came about?  It became a catchall for everything from tornadoes to poopy diapers that liberals could blame on mankind.  Heaven forbid we let anything get in the way of their ambitious goals of world wide communism.   I mean if you doubt global warming exists, then you may as well be part of the flat earth society in their eyes.  Come to think of it, the Flat Earth Society does believe in global warming.  What strange bedfellows liberals like to keep.  
While know it all liberals are off galavanting in their leer jets to promote their science fiction films, I actually did some research which is posted on the Global Warming page at www.goldenpansy.com.  Interestly it is cold here because it is winter, kind of the opposite of why it gets hot in the summer.   Every once in a while the jet stream dips down and brings an arctic air mass into Florida, resulting in freezes and the occassional snow.  It's been happening for millions of years, it will happen for millions more just as surely has it is happening on Mars and Pluto, which is just another inconvenient fact for the liberal kooks.
So just what are liberals going to focus on when Floridians wake up to dead crops tomorrow morning?   There’s been no hurricanes for a few years, the war in Iraq is going well, the economy is chugging along and now Dixie is entering another ice age.   I’m sure it will be a matter of time until they come up with some other kool aid for the idiot portion of the electorate to drink, for without them socialists like Mrs. Clinton, the inexperienced Obama or the ambulance chasing Edwards don’t have a prayer of moving to the White House. 
I’ve got to run to the store for a snow shovel, because with all this global warming one can never be too prepared.

Facts Remain Enemy #1 For Liberals

If you happen to listen to the mainstream media or their liberal cronies in Congress you may actually believe that we are on the brink of a recession.  After all, when was the last time that perky little Katie or any of the other alphabet network bimbettes had anything positive to say about our economy?  Despite all their crying about the so called mortgage crisis and how the poor are getting poorer our economy grew 4.9% in the third quarter, which was the fastest rate in over four years.  Isn't that a nice little fact you'll never hear in the mainstream media.


All it takes is a trip to the store this Christmas season to know that our economy is booming . Parking spots are few and far between at malls where the stores are packed and the shelves are bare which is a testment to the state of our nation that liberals are trying to brush under the rug.   So why is this such bad news for liberals?  Simple, without bad news liberalism dies.  The lifeblood of liberalism is negativity, despair and destitution for which they can provide government solutions.  When the news is good it merely serves to undermine their case that the only solution is government intervention.


Even more damaging for liberals is the fact that news of our booming economy comes on the heels of good news out of Iraq, where our troop surge is working and terrorists are dropping like flies.   Casualties continue to decline which has proven extremely upsetting to liberals who need IED’s and dead troops to reinforce their agenda of surrender and appeasement and much to their dismay this is not happening.   


Making matters even worse for liberals, a new Senate report found that over 400 world renowned scientists from two dozen nations came out in 2007 to criticize the global warming claims being made by the United Nations and former failed presidential candidate Al Gore.   If the seas aren’t going to rise and flood our coastal cities what need is there for the government solutions sought by liberals?  Again, more proof that liberals need negativity to exist. 
 

What’s going to happen to liberals around the world when they start to realize that everything they stand for is a myth rooted in lies, evil and negativity?  Imagine when they come to the understanding that a person must pull a trigger for a gun to inflict any damage or that freedom of speech means just that or quite possible that ending the government school monopoly will help the very people they try to keep down. 


Remember, liberals are judged not on results but on intentions.   Their intentions of trying to do something right by inserting a government bureaucracy are actually the root cause of each and every problem ever faced by our nation but we are cast as uncaring if we try to point that out as accountability is a four letter in the world of liberals.   From crime and unemployment to failing inner city schools and broken homes, each and every failure can be traced to liberal idealism.   They hate to admit this, but it is time that the realized that their true enemy lies in the facts which may very well explain their attempts to ban free speech with the Fairness Doctrine, which by design will silence intellectual honesty and conservative dissent.    Perhaps this is why facts remain the number one enemy of liberals.

Cast Your Vote for Pansy of the Week

 

We have got a whole bunch of news today in which pansies abound from coast to coast.   In what should come as no surprise, the first story comes out of San Francisco where anti-freedom mayor Gavin Newsome is proposing a tax on beverages high in fructose corn syrup.  Yep, that Coke is going to cost more so your government can provide oversight of what you drink.   For those of you educated by the government this means that you are losing more rights, more money and the ability to make individual choices.   Remember, liberals only care about choice on one issue and one issue only.  They loathe all other choice, especially when it comes to free speech, the right to defend yourself or your property, education or retirement.  Aside from their single issue, they believe that all other choices must be made by the government because only they know what is best for us. 

 

In another story, unsurprisingly coming from government academia, broadcast professor David Hazinski wants government regulation of citizen media.   This type of blatant violation of our first amendment rights would have far reaching effects as it would require government oversight of everything said or written by each and every American in a public forum.   Consider the state of our biased mainstream media today and just imagine the internet, YouTube, myspace, Drudge, Townhall or even goldenpansy.com being regulated by the likes of PBS and the Clinton News Network.   The only reason that liberals like Hazinski seek this type of oversight is control of the airwaves which may be popular in Venezuela or Cuba, but it is something completely un-American and deserving of a Pansy Award. 

 

Moving onto New Jersey, we have Jon Corzine, another criminal coddling liberal signing a bill banning the death penalty into law.   This move has spared the life of Jesse Timmendequas, the sex offender who killed little Megan Kanka and inspired Megan’s law back in the day and age when common sense and conservative ideals prevailed.   Perhaps Corzine can show a little more disrespect to the victims of horrible crimes and just release all the murderous sex offenders back into the community to shore up support for his re-election bid which certainly won’t be successful if only real Americans were allowed to vote.  

 

So here we have it, three very different stories that all reflect the insidious nature of liberalism.   All three of these characters are worthy of a Pansy Achievement Award, so I am asking you to tell me who is the biggest pansy of the week!   Let’s put it to a vote and see what our readers have to say.   You will find the survey at the following URL:
