Monday Edition

Sorry been busy last week and then took a little vacation to MN Friday through Sunday. I am back now and hopefully I will give you a little something to talk about.

1. With the Democrats being so celebratory about deeming the Senate bill as passed, it gives one pause. If it were only insurance, they have been waiting 100 years in order to get universal insurance coverage? I don't think so. They know the bill is much more and will lead to much more than simply insurance (which it won't even do).
2. I don't remember where I saw or heard it, but the Republicans get branded as the party of NO, when it is Democrats who say NO to crosses for Christians, want to say NO to you deciding on health care, NO to you deciding which foods you can and can't eat (i.e. trans fats, some sodas being banned), and NO to you letting you keep more of your tax money.
3. Analogies abound in taxes starting now and not receiving any supposed health care benefits for 4 years. A couple of my favorites...what if Obama had said we are in desperate need of jobs (which he did) but had decided to wait for 4 years before any jobs were created? And the other is, buying a car and having to pay for it now, but not being able to drive it for four years.
4. A lot of the talk has been about right-wing violence against liberals. Where was the outrage in the media and on the left for the left wing violence in the 2004 and 2008 elections (http://www.thepatriotsflag.com/2010/03/violence-against-republicans/)? Not to mention the notices of "an alarming trend". I don't condone violence but seems like a double standard.
5. Supposedly Congressman John Lewis was called the n-word and Barney Frank was called a derogatory term for gays right before the health care vote. For me, I don't want to seem too conspiracy like, but though cameras were abundant at the Capitol, no tape, video or audio, has surfaced which support their version of events. I am also aware of many instances of hoaxes with racism with liberals (http://rdickerhoof.wordpress.com/2010/03/24/hoax-and-change/). That and to Democrats it is always 1964. Hence why they paint the Tea Partiers as racist and conservatives in general.
6. This was a while ago, but Human Rights Watch, a left-wing group seeming more to want to damage Israel than actually investigate human rights abuses, turns out to have had a military expert who was fired for showing at least an affinity for Nazi memorabilia. I am glad HRW fired him, but is there any doubt, if this guy worked for Palin or Romney, it would be a huge story? But if it is a left-wing group our media yawns. See http://www.mererhetoric.com/archives/11275875.html. The point isn't to attack him personally, it is to say that apparently his views weren't out of sync with others at HRW, and that our media doesn't even report these kind of things.
7. Democrats always seem to say that what matters most is what group you belong to - Hispanic, black male, white male, etc. Their current arguments are that Republicans and Tea Partiers are racist (not known for their new analyses), but when you break it down it means that they dare to disagree with Obama because he is black. So in other words, what matters most is that Obama is black.
8. Once government can decide that you must buy health insurance, where do you stop? Why couldn't they force you to buy anything?
9. Just curious if any lawyers who proclaim they handle the cases for "the rule of law" regarding Gitmo detainees will offer their services pro-bono to the "Christian" militia group.
10. Democrat Henry Waxman calling executives up from private companies to intimidate them about not signing on to so-called health care reform.

What Our Friends from the North are thinking

By Howard Galganov
Montreal, Quebec , Canada

When Obama won the Presidency with the help of the LEFTIST Media,Hollywood And Entertainment Liberals, Ethnic Socialists (ACORN), Stupid Non-Business Professionals and Bush Haters, I wrote: It won't take six months until the People figure this guy out and realize how horrible a mistake they've made.. And when they come to that realization, the damage to the United States of America will be so great it will take a generation or more to repair - IF EVER.
The IDIOTS who not only voted for the Messiah, but also worked [hard] to promote his Lordship, are now left holding the bag.
Here are two things they will NEVER do: They will NEVER admit to making a Blunder out of all proportion by electing a snake-oil salesman with no Positive social history or management experience of any kind. They will NEVER take responsibility for the curse they've imposed upon the immediate and long-term future of their country.
In essence, the people responsible for putting this horror show in power are themselves responsible for every cataclysmic decision he makes and the Consequences thereof.
In just six months, the Messiah's polls are showing the following: 1. On Healthcare Reform - He's going under for the third time with polling well Under 50 percent, even within his own Party. Even though he might be able to Muscle a Healthcare Reform Bill by using Chicago BULLY tactics against his Fellow Democrats, it will just make things worse. 2. On Cap and Trade (Cap and Tax) - The Fat-Lady is already singing. 3. On the Stimulus Package (Tax and Spend) - His popularity is in FREE-FALL. 4. On the TARP package he took and ran with from President Bush - It's all but Good-Night Irene. 5. On the closing of GITMO and "HIS" war on what he no longer wants called the War On Terrorism - He's standing in quicksand with his head just about to go under. 6. On a Comparison between himself and George W. Bush at the same six months into Their respective first term Presidencies - Bush is ahead of him in the Polls. 7. On a comparison between He Who Walks On Water and the 12 preceding Presidents between WW II and now - Obama ranks 10th. 8. On a Poll just Conducted, that asks who would you vote for today between Obama and Mitt Romney - It's a dead heat. Between Obama and Palin - Obama's ONLY ahead by 8 Points and she hasn't even begun to campaign. It seems to me that Obama Wants to be everywhere where he shouldn't be.
He's personally invested in 'totally insulting' America 's ONLY REAL Middle Eastern ally ( Israel ) in favor of Palestinian Despots and Murderers. He's traveling the world apologizing for the USA while lecturing others on how to do it right, when in fact and truth he has no experience at doing anything other than getting elected.
He went to the Muslim world in Egypt to declare that America IS NOT A CHRISTIAN NATION while he heaped praises on Islam, where he compared the "plight" of the Palestinians to the Holocaust.
The Russians think he's a putz, The French think he's rude.
The Germans want him to stop spending.
The Indians want him to mix his nose out of their environmental business.
The North Koreans think he's a joke, The Iranians won't acknowledge his calls.
And the British can't even come up with a comprehensive opinion of him.
As for the Chinese, he's too frightened to even glance their way. [After All, China now owns a large portion of the United States .]
Maybe if America's first Emperor would stay home more, travel less, and work a little bit instead of being on television just about everyday or stop running to "papered" Town Hall Meetings, perhaps he would have a little bit of time to do the work of the nation.
In all fairness, it wasn't HARD to be RIGHT in my prediction concerning Obama's presidency, even in its first six months, so I'm going to make yet another prediction:
OBAMA WILL PROBABLY NOT FINISH HIS 4-YEAR TERM, at least not in a Conventional way.
He is such a political HORROR SHOW, and so detrimental to the USA and his Own Democratic Party, that the Democrats themselves will either FORCE him to Resign or figure out a way to have him thrown out.
Who knows, maybe he really isn't a BORN US Citizen and that's a way the Democrats will be able to get rid of him. [He is a citizen, but not a naturalized citizen with both mother and father being US citizens.]
Or - MORE LIKELY THAN NOT, the Democrats will make Obama THEIR OWN LAME DUCK PRESIDENT.
I don't believe the Democrats have nearly as much love for their country as they do for their own political fortunes. And with Obama, their fortunes are rapidly becoming toast.

Weekend Treat

1. This (the third letter) passes for intellectual thought. Does the writer know that in the times of the Boston Massacre, John Adams was a British subject just as the soldiers who committed the massacre were? As Ann Coulter points out, these same lawyers would never defend someone like the person who killed George Tiller, the abortionist. Or defend insurance companies and tobacco companies, who are also unpopular. Don't they deserve legal representation as much as the Guantanamo detainees (who are also getting it for free)? Of course these lawyers (as with a lot of the left) want to feel important,as if they are defending the very principles in the Constitution, when in reality they are making it easier for Americans to be killed.
2. Sounds like they are having trouble determining what caused the Toyota crashes. Again, our politicians and media rush to judgement, and no surprise their answer is more government control.
3. President Obama can't seem to make up his mind. On the one hand, he says the debate is over (what is it with Democrats and the debate always being over) and the time for talk is over, but on the other hand he is the one that must keep talking about it.

Weird Story

http://news.yahoo.com/s/huffpost/20100303/cm_huffpost/481057

I like stories like this. Though you do feel bad for people, it completely ignores the economics of it. In this case, should the bank never evict anyone? If they didn't have standards and procedures like evicting people who don't pay their mortgage, there wouldn't be a company like them that provides the means for people to have mortgages in the first place.

Some other quick notes:
1. Of course the SEIU is involved. Obama is buddy buddy with the SEIU president.
2. Anyone wonder if the number one job of every bank CEO is to personally evict people?
3. Just curious again, but do we even know that she can afford her house? If they extend the loan she still doesn't pay, weren't they right in the first place?
4. What are the union details? Were the union demands over the top?
5. Her rate was adjustable. Even if her story is true about having the tumor, wouldn't much of the fault lie with our politicians for trying to get everyone to own a home, regardless of whether they can afford it?

Random Stuff

The big talking point from the left was about how the health care bill would actually reduce the deficit. Of course by having taxes for 10 years while only benefits for 6 years. The real question is, how many Congressional investigations would there be if an insurance company told people they had to pay for 10 years but would only get 6 years of benefits?

And more bad news for global warming advocates.

Small Town USA

The truth of American Politics can be found in the truck stops, coffee shops, and diners across America and from what I have heard in my small coffee shop is that Republicans and Democrats both need to watch out in the next election. The "common" people are upset with both parties for not resolving the issues at hand with one party fumbling the majority and the other sitting back. People are frustrated with the current administration for the lack of movement in policy when the democrats held the super majority nothing was done. Now that the super majority is gone the republicans don't want to make any waves and are stepping back to let the democrats continue to implode. Is that the right thing to do? From what I am hearing in small town USA, NO. The country is so messed up in nearly every aspect that there should be no "aisle". Where has common sense gone? No party wants to make the hard decisions that need to be made and as a result here we are at another stalemate. If the parties don't wake up there could be another Ross Perot, Gov. Jesse Ventura, on the horizon.

Chris Christie

Wow, I am really liking this guy...

Speech to League of Municipalities.

Hopefully Christie's example will lead others in the fight against irresponsible spending from either party.

Monday Edition

Some great articles I ran across...

Mark Steyn on America possibly going the way of the Greeks.
