Barry "Chavez" O

It appears that Barry is learning from Chavez, the Venezuelan dictator who figured out how to subvert democracy from within. Very simply, you are the President, you set the rules. That is, You know best and the people be damned. After all You are The One, The messiah, why should they question what you know is right.
He wants the Health Care Takeover so bad he is willing to circumvent the constitution to do so. He wants Cap and Tax, he is presuming an administrative takeover to see it done even if it could not get approved by congress and is hated by the people. If he wants to get it done, he will, the public be damned.
What a great role model. What a lousy end to the greatest country in the history of the world.
How long do we have to put up with this stuff? Of course we must go by the rules of the land (when it is convenient to him).
I cam counting the days down as we speak. Nove 2012 cannot come quick enough.

Are we crazy or what?

Health Care Reform:
WE have a bill that no one has read, no one has seen, no one knows what is in it, yet 60 Senators have signed on to approve it. What kind of lunacy is this? If you or I were to sign a contract without reading it, you would declare us fools. Yet that is exactly what 60 Democratic liberal senators are doing.

What is the hurry? Why dont we take the time to do it right. WE have plenty of time.

Head in the Sand

Barry is over in Copenhagen this week for more photo ops. Even though climategate has made any "scientific consensus" illusionary and questionable, even though the US is still going through a great recession, a jobless one at that, even though the Senate twelve years ago said NO to any binding agreement that would deter negatively the US economy, even though a super majority of citizens do not want it and his own party is moving away from it, Barry is bound and determined to sign something and bring it home. Is it arrogance? Hubris? The back of the camel of the American taxpayer is already burdened beyond belief and this will make it worse if not unbearable. What is with it with this guy?
The answer lies in his core beliefs: US is bad, US needs to be more like civilized France, Socialism Progressive Secularism is the order of the day. But more than anything he wants to be loved by his base, his most ardent fans, the ultra liberals which includes the environmentalists. They still love him so he will try to appease them no matter what the consequences are. Now the environmentalists are trying to make us all vegans to "save the planet." Cross over country will not put up with that. And to make matters worst, the EPA, who obviously does not read the paper nor the brewing chaos that is climategate, has decided to unilaterally declare CO2 evil and put major regulations into place. Duh. Do they want to see the rest of what is left of manufacturing leave the US? Someone stomp some sense into their heads.
We have a runaway out of control answerable to no one government. Should we have another 1776? It soon might be no other option.

Atlas Shrugged is already here!!

In Ayn Rand's novel Atlas Shrugged, the hero cried he would stop the engine of the world. And soon enough, the most talented, most hard working citizens disappeared. The end result was chaos.

Well we are seeing microcosms of that today. In several states, medical specialists have disappeared, moved to another state where opportunities are greater and tort liabilities less. California and New York have seen out migration of the rich and successful to lower tax states. Businesses are moving to the south and west to lower tax states. All these events were preordained in Ayn's book. And more can be expected.

What happens if Barry O's dream of a socialist France across the Atlantic is realized. Will the rich continue to work long hard hours while gathering small percentages for their efforts (remember it is marginal income that motivates . .. when 70-80% of every dollar is going to the government, you have got to be either purely community minded or an idiot to work), will entrepreneurs and VCs risk billions of dollars for new start-ups with the labor dominated , regulation intensive, legalless (now that the government has shown that contracts are only as good as Barry believes they are--GM and Chrysler bond holders showed the way) system being set up, will Mom and Pop start up a small business with their life savings especially when they have no idea of what the future beholds? Of course not. The liberals are in La-La land (where most of them live anyway) to believe people will not change their behavior accordingly. And what will occur? Official unemployment in the teens, unofficial unemployment over 20%, a permanent recession, hyperinflation, and a rapid spiral towards third world ism.

But Barry O and his bunch dont care. They would have achieved what they wanted. An equality based system with the Libs in permanent control. Of course, remember what Socialism is: Everybody will be equally bad off.

Who is the victim here?

After the Fort Hood terrorism attack (there cannot be any other description of it), I heard from the Mainstream media about "The Alleged shooter" as if there were any doubt that he did it. How many witnesses do they need. They all talked about an Army Major being very particular not to get his name or religious belief (if he had been a white who listened to Rush or Sean it would have been way out front). And now he is considered a "suspect?"
And our president who did not set foot in Fort Hood Friday when he should have but decided to come out tuesday when all the cameras would be on him (sound familiar) said in so many words, forget the victims, we cannot let this interfere with diversity. Who are the victims? As the Commander in Chief of the Army said, "We do not want to have a backlash." What about the victims do they deserve some attention? When does this PC thing stop. How many more shootings and attacks before we take some serious actions.

Political Correctness Must be upheld

One of the most alarming aspects of the Fort Hood incident that is coming out is the number of associates who have indicated they saw some parts of the perpetrator but were afraid of speaking out due to being called "Racist" or "alarmist" This can be seen in aiports where little old ladies are subjected to body searches while young Muslim men are allowed to proceed without hassle due to fears of "profiling." The Army brass on Sunday seconded the motion by indicating the "diversity" was not to be disturbed.

so now we have a national security that is afraid to proof its own troops lest they be called racist or profiling. How many more incidents like this are we to have? Internal security is as important to us as is national security. Yet we are letting our guard down due to Political correctness and diversity issues. Our enemies such as Iran and Korea must be laughing their heads off now. What kind of nation have we become?

Enough is enough.

Whiner In Chief

When you were young do you remember the neighborhood kid who owned the bat and baseball when you played ball? Remember what happened when he lost? He took his bat and ball and went home. In other words, as long as he was winning he would play.

Well we have a whiner-in-chief. Remember what he told his Republican opposites at a White house meeting, I won. That is, since I won, you must do it my way. Well it worked for a while. Now that his popularity is down and he has had some losses, he is frustrated and whinning. After all, everybody loves me. They adore me. They should do what I tell them to do. And when they don't, he has a temper tandrum. They are being Racist. They hate me because I am black. They are opposing me because of my race.

Rush limbaugh. sean hannity. Fox news. The list grows long. If they do not agree with me, they must be my enemy. Accustomed to adoration and love by the media, he cannot project nor accept a media that does not love him. If one exists, it is because they are either Racist or biased or not a real newsworthy organization. The thought of having a true discussion over the issues does not cross his mind. It is his way or the highway. And as president (not mine I emphasize) he has powers to coerce and intimidate. Many have fallen (AMA, Health care organizations for example) as a result and Finlandized they support him tokenly. But despite all others stand firm. And he cannot stand that. Any opposition or opposing view must be attacked, persecuted, and punished. For he is the one and all should love him.

How much longer do we have to put up with this toddler imitating a president? How much damage will he inflict on our country before it is over? I just hope I am still here to see the aftermath.

A Leader --of what?

This week was notable for two events: the terrible tragedy at Fort Hood and the Liberals assault on our freedom by passing the health care reform act, the "Government takeover of Healthcare act."
Where was our beloved Leader, the self described messiah, Barry O.? Any true leader would have immediately flown to Texas to be with the Fort Hood family in this calamity. Any true leader would have shut down Congress so we could mourn. But not Barry. He and his boys of the Socialist inclination were so engrossed in changing America, they were in Washington. That should tell us of the priorities he has. Forget America, forget the calamities, forget the military, go after Socialism and Control and Power. That is first and foremost on his mind.
Shouldnt this tell us something about his character and his priorities (as if we did not know it after nearly two years). Is this how a Leader should act? Of course not. Who ever said Barry was a leader? He isnt and never was and never will be. His whole purpose in life is to be loved and adored and admired by his fans. Not to lead.

Perhaps he is in a sense leading us . . . to his promised land of equality among all, of European style Socialism and World non-power. I for one do not want to be lead like sheep to the slaughter for his own skewed world view.

Earth to Barry: listen to what people are saying to you

Barry loves Small businesses. He knows he needs them to create jobs. so he is making a special plea to them. Offering them lots of government goodies and incentives. In his mind, that is acknowledging their importance. But he is hearing back (at least they are telling him, not that he is hearing it) that the best thing he can do for them is to get government off their backs, make life easier, less regulation and taxation, and let us do our businesses they way we know best.
That is not registering with Barry and the boys. Their hearing aid only allows one form of communication in: more government. The thought of less government is tuned out. How can they not want government aid. Dont we all agree government is good and the more government the better? What kind of people are they? He is dumbfounded and wonders why small businesses are not applauding his offers.
Listen Barry. Listen. Put aside your prejudices and listen to what they are saying. And then act upon it.
The rest of your term of president can be either great for you or a meat grinder. Right now, your popularity is falling to unprecedented lows, your party has taken a major loss at the polls, and Congress is running straight into a minefield. Listen to them. Get government off their backs. They do not want more government programs, just less government. The choice is yours. how your term (not terms if you do not listen) ends up is your choice.
The people have spoken.

The Fanatic

The definition of a Fanatic is one who when he knows he has lost and has no chance of winning redoubles his efforts.

Sounds like another definition for Barry and the boys. They seem to be in a major disconnect to ordinary Americans (ordinary for them means citizens from Crossover country who are nothing whatsoever like the liberal elite from the bicoastal weirdness.) Did not they listen in August when the tea parties and representative meetings told the administration and Congress very clearly 1) They wanted priority placed on the economy and jobs and 2) No more big government (which included health care reform and cap and trade energy control). So like regular liberals whose hearing aids are turned off, they went back and preceded to double up on those issues. In November on election day, they got trounced and exit polls spoke clearly, confirming those August announcements. And like any good liberal, they went and doubled up.

Do they not hear what people are saying? Do they even care (obviously not)? Liberals in general only listen to what other liberal elites say. The "Silent Majority" of Crossover country Americans do not count, being hackeyed, rural uneducated, conservatives preoccupied with guns and religion. No, the liberal elites think they know best and damn it, it is their way or the highway. Well this time it looks like they are going to get their wish: the highway only they are the ones heading out of town not the middle americans.

Serves them right.

History Lesson

Excerpt from Manuscript found in ruins
"In the End times there was a ruler named Barry.
He ruled over the people with an iron closed mind.
He and his followers said, "Let there be a Health Care policy for all"
and the people said "We want jobs and the economy to be better."
But Barry said, "I know what is best for you. We must have a big government, spend trillions of dollars, Own Health Care, Energy, and most businesses."
and the people said "We want to run our own lives. We know what is best for us."
But Barry said, "I am an elite. I am well educated. I know what is best for you. You are just peons too self absorbed in your own petty lives to know what the world should be like. We know and you should shut up and let us make decisions for you."
and the people said, "give us a break. We are smarter than you think. We know what is best for us."
But Barry said, "Government is good. business is bad. Government should make decisions about health, energy, pay, everything. We, the elite, knows what is best for you. We want everybody to be equal."
and the people said, "You are not hearing us. We said it clearly in August. We said it clearly in November: "Let us be free and make our own decisions."
But Barry said, "But if you do what you want, you will not do what we the Elites know what is best. You will use Gas and Coal not solar and wind. You will eat meat not vegetables. You will drive cars not bike or mass transit. We know what is best for you. Listen to us. We are the Elites. We care about you, you poor dumb uneducated crossover Americans with your guns, your religion, your big cars. "
and the people said, "Be gone. Twice we spoke and twice you did not listen. Three strikes and you are out."
And Fire and Brimstone struck all of Barry's followers and Barry and they were struck down and removed from office.
But Barry said dazed as he left the Big house "But We know what is best. Why did not they listen to us. We are the elite."
and the people said, "Let us be free once again to do as we want how we want when we want."
And there was peace and prosperity once again, until years later when the People let their guard down and forgot the lessons of the past, a new Barry arose.

Barry Plays the Orphan

Ever heard the story about the man who shot his parents and threw himself on the mercy of the court by saying he was an orphan? Well we have another case.

Barry and the Boys have been spending money like a bunch of drunken sailors and the hangover is yet to come . . . 800 billion for stimulus, a trillion or two for financial institutions, deficits in the trillions of dollars, let alone the cost for health care and cap and trade. And one day, just recently, it has dawned on him that all this spending can be unhealthy and creates a huge deficit. So he has issued a debt reduction emergency.

Wanna bet on what he decides to do? Cut spending? Ha. Raise taxes. The poor old government does not get enough money from those rich people. It needs more and more and more. They are not paying their fair share. What exactly is their fair share anyway? 50 percent? 60 percent? Under FDR, tax rates reached 90+ %. And we know how well the economy did. Doesn't Barry O ever read history? Or does he merely believe in his own arrogant grandoise ability to change the course of a country.

Perhaps he should take a step backwards and start cutting instead of adding. But Barry will not be satisfied until 100% of the economy is government produced and every employee is a government employee. ANd of course we will all be broke and penniless. But he will be out of office well before then and it will be someone else's problem, probably a Republican forced to clean up his messes.

The Peter Principle

In the Peter Principle, one anecdote I distinctly remember is "Concentrate on the little things, the big things will take care of themselves" from one of the iron rules of incompetence. What brings this to mind is our beloved Leader's (Barry and the Boys) spin on Afghanistan and any other international problem. He cant make up his mind on what to do. On one hand, if he is aggressive, he takes the risk of angering his friends on the far, far, left. But if he pulls out too quickly he breaks a major campaign promise. So far, all he wants to do is vote "Present." and hope the problem goes away on its own. So instead of concentrating on resolving the international issues (Afganistan, Iran), he concentrates on the little things that is important: his dog's birthday party, among other items. I believe the Peter Principle was the one book written about Barry that is absolutely true.
Hey, I did not vote for him. Half of America was besmidden by his good looks, his charm, his oratory abilities, the prospect of America's first black president and did not look past the exterior to see what was inside. If they had they would have found no backbone, no spine, no gut, and obviously only half a brain. How many more years do we have? Counting down the days and hoping we can make it to 2012 in one piece.

Barack wins Olympic medal for "Being There"

I must be from the old school. I always believed you earned a prize or medal. For example you had to compete and beat a bunch to win the Olympic gold. To win the medal of honor or Purple Heart you had to do something really special like save a ship or your platoon of men. When I received my diplomas I had to work hard to get them, pass many tests and courses. But of course that was then, now it must be in to simply be there to be awarded a prize or medal.And then one has to be a great football player to earn an Heisman.

Nowadays all you have to do is show up. Barack got the Peace Prize for what? What accomplishment has he ever completed let alone something great? This is media and idolatry at its worse. The nobel committee needs to be reviewed Perhaps we can ship the UN to Sweden and let both deliberate forever. What a sham.

Obscene profits

History tells us whenever a formerly governmental entity or enterprise has been privatized, citizens can expect 3 things from it: a reduction in cost, higher efficency and effectiveness, and satisfactory profits from the enterprise (some of which will go to the government in form of taxes and fees).
History also tells us that inevitably when liberals or leftists get in charge, they will start screaming about "obscene profits" and want to nationalize the efforts. (To liberals ANY profits are obscene as if the service is essential--that is you need it as most anything is--it should be provided freely and as a non-profit motive to the masses). So it is nationalized and the "profits" are confiscated and "return to the public." and per usual governmental inefficiencies, costs twice as much to provide at half the efficiency as a private enterprise would do.
Right now Government is involved in nationalization efforts for Student Loans as well as for the Health Industry. They decry the "Private Profits" being made and indicate that by nationalizing, the country will "save" 100 Billion dollars a year that otherwise would have gone into "obscene profits." Well yes, after they get done with it, no profits will be made. But the savings? Let's see . .. student defaults, inefficencies, slow customer service, budget costs . . . by the time they get done it will cost 200 billion dollars a year.
It reminds me of the one summer a Southern College decided to cut costs by reducing summer school . . . they save $250,000 by doing so but forfeited $425,000 in revenues they would have otherwise received. Only in government would this be considered appropriate action.
It is not about profits. For the left, it is about control and power. They want it all. Their best scenario is one where NO profits are being made because EVERYTHING is government owned. Then they will have total control and power. the country will be a third world mess but they will own it. . . which is in final is what they want.
Remember . . . Socialism is where Everyone is Equally bad off. And the left wants everyone to be equal . . .no matter at what costs to the country as a whole.

Barack "All You Need is Love" Obama

BO's speech to the UN was a classic rendition of the Beatles Hit, "All You Need is Love." He basically said lets all get together, sing KumBaYah, Hold Hands, and be nice to each other and the world will be saved. The audience loved it. No longer did they have Bush to fear. BO got his standing ovation and the adoration he thrives on. And everything was still the same. Barry and his boys believe that if you are just nice to everyone and give them a few billion dollars (or tens or hundreds of billions, what the heck it is just money), everyone will love them. Or give a way the store, give Russia Georgia, who wants it anyway, we want the big boys to love us (that is, love me and if I am loved, everything will be alright)

Just one problem, the world does not operate the way it does in Barry's fantasy world. Iran, Russia, North Korea, Venezuela, see Barry not from love but from weakness. They will continue to press him. And he will continue to give way. His belief is that by making nice to bullies, they will eventually learn to love him, change their ways, and the world will be a better place. Just as Chamberlain in 1938. He came back from Czechoslavakia love by the world, and especially Hitler. He changed the world, see what happened in 1939. It took millions of lives and 6 years to correct his error. What will it take to change Barry's starry eyed view of reality? How many of our citizens will die before he realizes (if ever) his err? Will the nation ever recover from its volumious set of apologies and withdraws in 2009?

I am counting down the days until BO is forcefully retired in 2012. Are you? And will it even matter by then?

Barak Animal House Obama

BO, the chosen one, the messiah, reminds me of a scene in animal house, the movie. The bad fraternity is initiating its new members. The senior members are paddling the plebes. After each paddle, the new members say, "Thank you sir, may I please have another."
I cannot help but think of BO and his foreign policy disasters. He takes a hit in the rear from Russia, gives up Czech and Poland and politely gets blindsided again. He must have Masochistic tendencies. He must feel so bad about the USA, that it is so evil, that he wants us punished.
"Please sir, may I have another." as he turns the other cheek, hoping that his act of kindness will be reciprocated. And as he does so, the bully hits him again. I just wonder how long it will be before he finally understands bullies only respect strength, not weakness.
Three and a half more years. BUt will we survive that long with him at the throttle. BO must realize this is not a game. This is not Academia with all the nice theories of political science, human behavior, and gamemanship. This is real life. This is the real world and 350 Million Americans are going to be casualties of his ineptness.
Oh well, how many more days to go?

Time Machine?

Quick what decade are we in? What country is this?
An enemies list is being compiled by the Head Politician of a country
Brownshirts, the Politician's own handpicked thugs, are at rallies intimidating and brutalizing enemies of the regime.
The Head has nationalized several major segments of the economy
His allies want to close down all religious or private schools to keep an educational monopoly and teach only politically correct materials
His secular allies is ready to mount an all out attack on churches and religion
Bonus points if you name the Politician.
Quick. 10 points if you said Nazi Germany. 10 points if you said USA 2009.

It is rather difficult to distinguish between the two isnt it? Sad.

Hypocrisy Squared

If a conservative wanders onto a college stage, chances are he/she will be booed, picketed, thrown pies at, and heckled until unheard. The MSM then say the students are just using their right of free speech towards radicalists.

On the August Democratic Health Care Tour, friendly town hall meetings turned into anything but as hundreds or more protesters showed up to display their feelings --typically not liking it at all--towards the Health Care bills. Here the MSM reported the liberals were being denied their free speech due to the radical right activists. Never mind these town hall meetings were set up secretly to limit the participants to only those supporting the issues, news got out.

So what is free speech. The definition according to liberals is that free speech is good as long as it agrees with what I believe. If there is disagreement, then free speech is not allowed or tolerated.

This used to be called hypocrisy. But do not hold your breath awaiting any remorse from liberals. Theirs is an anything goes world as long as they can reach their goals.

No Gain All Pain

Reports of the Cap and Tax (or Trade if you are a liberal) Bill have been ambiguous. First it will only cost us a postage stamp a day. But after further consideration that stamp must be a $5 or $10 stamp. Let alone the millions of jobs. It is reported to be a job booster (for China). And now we hear that after all this pain the effect on climate will be less than negligible, perhaps even zero. And China and India get off scot free. Wait a minute. Then why are we doing all of this?

Two reasons come to mind
1) Government control of the Energy sector and controlling the people's energy habits
2) Barry O wants something (anything) to take to the December conference to show his peers that America is serious about Climate Control. Isnt this an expensive toy to take to show and tell? This is not Kindergarten sir!!

It is surprising anyone in their right mind would vote or support this monstrosity. Americans get off your arse and let the Demos in Congress this is not good for anyone.

Before it is too late. Say enough is enough!!
