Why Does Interpol Need Immunity from American Law? - Andy McCarthy - The Corner on National Review Online

President Obama is at it again. The least American of Presidents has given Interpol the authority to operate in the United States with complete immunity from review by any American citizen, politician, or government organization. That's right, Interpol can now affect the lives of any American here or overseas without worrying about complying with the United States Constitution. All those civil rights you thought you had...Obama made sure only terrorists have them. How's that Hope and Change thing working for you?

Scrapping The Public Plan Is The Easiest Way To Get A Public Plan

I keep hearing that members of the U.S. Congress and various "experts" are saying that the "public plan" may be scrapped in order to get HR 3200 or other health care bill passed. This kind of talk is a smoke screen covering a deeper three-step plan designed to get the public to clamor FOR a public plan. The plan has only three steps and goes something like this....

First Step, Democrat members of the House of Representatives take the public plan out of HR 3200 even though most other provisions of the bill remain intact. Removal of the public plan helps bring opponents on board, and gives ammo to RINO's like Senator Olympia Snow to bring her weak-kneed associates on board in the Senate. The bill becomes "bipartisan" and passes without the public plan.

Second Step, as the law gets signed by a triumphant and gloating President Obama, it goes into effect and requires (as it does now):

a. Everyone not currently covered must buy health insurance from private insurance companies rather than face stiff tax penalties.

b. All of the health insurance plans people have to buy must be an "approved plan" which must cover everything and everyone the government says they must cover with limits set artificially high. This has the effect of making insurance premiums rise and become more unaffordable, resulting in citizens who then seek relief from their representatives.

Third Step, the President and members of the Congress publicly state that "as expected, without the public plan health care costs have spiraled out of control" and that in order to fix the problem they must create "an affordable public plan". Then "poof!" the public plan appears just in time for the 2012 election season.

Obama To Brainwash Public Grade School Kids 9/8/09

Just when you think you've heard it all it turns out you haven't. President Barack Obama, known as President Pantywaist in Britain, is all set to begin brainwashing grade school children on September 8th. Even without the particulars of the brainwashing sessions being released, people are already comparing Obama's planned address to the beginning of the Hitler Youth. Calling this the beginning of the Hitler, or Obama, Youth may be a bit strong but, I really can't think of any reason why the President of the United States would be bypassing parents to address grade school kids. Unless he's taking the advice of his friend William Ayers, the terrorist turned "educator", who promotes liberal activism in the classroom. For more info see the video below:

Why Lie About The UnInsured?

Among the reasons given for "Health Care Reform" in the United States is the number of uninsured. You've probably heard the claims. President Obama says there are 47 Million Americans who are uninsured. Sometimes the claim is that 47 Million Americans don't have access to health care. I've even been told that about 50 million people can't afford health insurance. None of those claims are true but they appear to be based on U.S. Census information from 2007 and are cited by those who want to increase government control over our lives and limit our health care choices. They are telling you lies to control your life more completely.

What did the Census say? Well, in the report "Income, Poverty, and Health Insurance Coverage in the United States: 2007" we find out that:

A person was considered uninsured if "they were not covered by any type of health insurance at any time in that year." Huh? At any time? So, if someone leaves a job where they were covered by health insurance...doesn't bother to pay the COBRA payment...loses their coverage...then gets new coverage at their new job when it kicks in 90 days later...they're still counted as uninsured? Really?

About 15% of the U.S. population was uninsured (see above) and that number has been relatively stable for at least 20 years. That also means that 85%, a very clear majority, are covered.

Instead of 47 Million, the report actually says it's just under 46 Million uninsured. So, already a lie. Does that make a difference? I think it does, but before you write to me about job losses and the effect on coverage...don't. There are no reliable statistics newer than the 2007 report so I'm gonna go with that for now. The President and Congress are telling you lies.

Roughly 10 Million of the uninsured are illegal aliens or other non-citizens...so, when President Obama says there are 47 Million Americans who are uninsured HE IS TELLING YOU A LIE. By the way, I'm not saying we should deny care to people just because they are here illegally but I don't think we should turn health care upside down based on LIES or for the benefit of non-citizens. I also don't think the American Taxpayer should be left paying the bill. Therefore, I've proposed a solution for handling health care for illegal aliens.

About 25% of the uninsured or just over 12 Million of the uninsured are currently eligible for Medicaid or S-CHIP but have not enrolled. Depending on State eligibility requirements regarding income and other factors, the number eligible but unenrolled may be as high 20 Million. Why are they unenrolled? It doesn't matter why since they will be automatically enrolled if they go to a hospital for care. Saying we need to allow government to take over our health care because these people can't afford or can't access care is just a LIE. It's there for the taking right now without any new legislation.

The remaining 16-24 Million or so? Well, some are definitely not able to afford coverage and are not currently eligible for existing programs. However, there are at least a few million who can afford coverage but choose not to have it. For example, the Census data shows there are 9.1 Million uninsured people in households making $75,000 or more.

In order to gain the support of the people, the President and Congress...not to mention their willing accomplices in the press, have intentionally lied to make you believe the problem is much larger than it really is and that the ONLY solution is more government. If the President and Congress have to lie about the uninsured what else are they fudging? How can they be trusted to handle our health care? How can they be trusted to spend TRILLIONS OF TAXPAYER DOLLARS? Fight back, call your representatives. Send them letters. TELL THEM TO STOP TELLING YOU LIES.

Big Surprise - PETA Wishes PBO Hadn't Swatted That Fly

Ok, this definitely falls into the category of "I couldn't make this stuff up". On June 16th, during another of Barack Obama's seemingly endless TV appearances, he swatted and killed a fly that had been buzzing around him. It's actually one of the few times I've agreed with him but he's getting grief from everyone's favorite fringe animal group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). Yes, PETA is upset that the Apologizer In Chief killed that poor, innocent, feces-eating creature (which isn't an animal).

According to PETA spokesman Bruce Friedrich, "We support compassion even for the most curious, smallest and least sympathetic animals" and "We believe that people, where they can be compassionate, should be, for all animals." And, they must mean it too because they're sending the President the "Katcha Bug Humane Bug Catcher", a device that allows users to trap a house fly and then release it outside so it can land on more feces before landing on your food.

For his part in this matter President Obama didn't seem apologetic at all for killing the filthy creature. In fact he said "That was pretty impressive, wasn't it? I got the sucker." Yeah, he actually gloated about doing something any five year-old can do.

I'm not really even sure what else to say about this, it makes my head hurt.

Even The Russians Are On To PBO

How is it that I can see it, you can see it, your tired old lap dog can see it but Obama supporters who decry the various "isms" like Marxism, Communism, and Socialism (as applied to Obama) can't see it? It's so clear that we are speeding away from the Capitalism that helped make this the greatest nation on earth that the Russian newspaper Pravda is commenting on it. For those of you with little knowledge of the Cold War Era, Pravda was pretty much the official propaganda arm of the Communist Party...they know Marxism when they see it. I've placed the article from Pravda below:

"It must be said, that like the breaking of a great dam, the American decent into Marxism is happening with breath taking speed, against the back drop of a passive, hapless sheeple, excuse me dear reader, I meant people.

True, the situation has been well prepared on and off for the past century, especially the past twenty years. The initial testing grounds was conducted upon our Holy Russia and a bloody test it was. But we Russians would not just roll over and give up our freedoms and our souls, no matter how much money Wall Street poured into the fists of the Marxists.

Those lessons were taken and used to properly prepare the American populace for the surrender of their freedoms and souls, to the whims of their elites and betters.

First, the population was dumbed down through a politicized and substandard education system based on pop culture, rather then the classics. Americans know more about their favorite TV dramas then the drama in DC that directly affects their lives. They care more for their "right" to choke down a McDonalds burger or a Burger King burger than for their constitutional rights. Then they turn around and lecture us about our rights and about our "democracy". Pride blind the foolish.

Then their faith in God was destroyed, until their churches, all tens of thousands of different "branches and denominations" were for the most part little more then Sunday circuses and their televangelists and top protestant mega preachers were more then happy to sell out their souls and flocks to be on the "winning" side of one pseudo Marxist politician or another. Their flocks may complain, but when explained that they would be on the "winning" side, their flocks were ever so quick to reject Christ in hopes for earthly power. Even our Holy Orthodox churches are scandalously liberalized in America.

The final collapse has come with the election of Barack Obama (emphasis added). His speed in the past three months has been truly impressive. His spending and money printing has been a record setting, not just in America's short history but in the world. If this keeps up for more then another year, and there is no sign that it will not, America at best will resemble the Wiemar Republic and at worst Zimbabwe.

These past two weeks have been the most breath taking of all. First came the announcement of a planned redesign of the American Byzantine tax system, by the very thieves who used it to bankroll their thefts, loses and swindles of hundreds of billions of dollars. These make our Russian oligarchs look little more then ordinary street thugs, in comparison. Yes, the Americans have beat our own thieves in the shear volumes. Should we congratulate them?"

What more needs saying? They recognize their own.

President Obama's Teleprompter Speech Template

It's hard to escape hearing or seeing President Obama. He really seems to love hearing himself so he talks and talks and talks while saying pretty much nothing at all. It turns out there's a template used for his speeches that gets plugged into his many teleprompters. It goes something like:

I'd like to welcome blah, blah, blah, I'm blah, blah, blah, I know blah, blah, blah, I feel blah, blah, blah, I won blah, blah, blah, I will blah, blah, blah, Previous Administration blah, blah, blah, and Everyone Agrees blah, blah, blah, Therefore I Have Instructed blah, blah, blah, Michelle Says blah, blah, blah, The World Hates Us blah, blah, blah, I, I, I, Me, Me, Me.

There, now you don't have to wonder what the President is going to say. You don't have to rush to the nearest television bought with the Stimulus Package to find out anything. You've now officially heard/read every single speech he's made or will make.

President Obama To Name Supporter's Daughter To FCC

What can I say? This is purely a payback move by the President who said his administration would be the most ethical and open administration in history. Apparently this week nepotism is ethical and is being done somewhat openly. President Obama announced that Mignon Clyburn would be nominated to a seat at the Federal Communications Commission. Mignon Clyburn is the daughter of Democrat Congressman (and majority whip) Jim Clyburn of South Carolina.

As I said, this is just a payback move. Congressman Clyburn, the highest ranking African-American in Congress, was key to passing the massive $787 billion "economic-stimulus" plan quickly through the House in February. He also played a part in securing Obama's nomination during the Democrat Presidential Primaries by swaying other "super delagates" toward Obama. Since then, Clyburn and Obama have become somewhat close.

Now, for you liberals out there screaming at your computer screen right now, I know other Presidents have done this kind of thing. But, how many of those Presidents made their whole campaign about "Change" from the way things were done before? No, not promising change because they all do that....how many made it their whole campaign like Obama? How many promised the "most transparent" administration in history? Just Obama. The most ethical? You might see my point. This nomination is not ethical, it's not change, and it's barely transparent.

Gun Control Advice Given To Obama By Eliot Spitzer The Whore Monger

The following is reproduced from the NRA's Institute for Legislative Action website dated May 1, 2009:

You know you are doing something right when two prominent politicians driven from public office come out in favor of gun control in the same week.

After resigning from the governorship of New York in shame and spending months out of the public eye, Eliot Spitzer (D) has decided to launch a campaign to rehabilitate himself by giving unsolicited gun control advice to President Barack Obama. Yes, this is the same Eliot Spitzer who, after railing against the "unregulated" firearm industry as New York's Attorney General, was driven from public office when caught spending $4,300 on a member of the oldest and most unregulated of professions.

On Wednesday, Spitzer wrote in Slate magazine that President Obama should not worry about Congress and the public, but should impose gun control on his own. Spitzer's article resurrects a scheme from former Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Andrew Cuomo. Cuomo's idea was that the federal government would buy guns for the military and federal law enforcement agencies only from manufacturers who agree not to sell "certain types of weapons" (unspecified, but presumably including "assault weapons" and many types of handguns) to the general public; not to sell guns without trigger locks, hidden serial numbers, or a magazine disconnect—features that have no particular benefit and some of which decrease the firearm's usefulness for self-defense; not to sell guns to dealers who are not "authorized;" and not to sell guns to dealers to which guns recovered from criminals have been traced.

Just think, if Spitzer had spent $4,300.00 on guns, he'd still be Governor. But given his views on the issue, it's just as well he was driven from public office.

The assault on our Second Amendment rights is continuing. Don't let yourself believe that your rights can't be taken away just because they're in the U.S. Constitution. Legislation can be passed that technically doesn't take away your rights but makes it so difficult to exercise your rights that you give up on them.

What can you do? First, join the NRA. You can join online at the NRA Membership website and can even give a gift membership to a friend or loved one. Second, demand that your Congressmen and Senators keep their power hungry mitts off of your rights. Do it soon...like today.

Blog Entry About Torture

There's been a lot of news media coverage of memos released by President Barack Obama regarding Enhanced Interrogation Techniques used by the U.S. or what the clearly biased media calls torture. Unfortunately the average person has absolutely idea what torture actually is in the real world. The United Nations defines torture as:

"any act by which severe pain or suffering, whether physical or mental, is intentionally inflicted on a person for such purposes as obtaining from him, or a third person, information or a confession, punishing him for an act he or a third person has committed or is suspected of having committed, or intimidating or coercing him or a third person, or for any reason based on discrimination of any kind, when such pain or suffering is inflicted by or at the instigation of or with the consent or acquiescence of a public official or other person acting in an official capacity. It does not include pain or suffering arising only from, inherent in, or incidental to, lawful sanctions."

While that definition is as clear as mud to most people, others would like to know what actions actually constitute torture. So, as I so often do, I'm going to make it easy for people. I'll do this by listing a number of activities that are and are not torture:

Panties On Head = Not Torture (done in College hazing)
Red Hot Poker in Eye or Orifice = Torture

Caterpillar In Room = Not Torture (they don't bite)
Staked to Ant Hill Covered in Honey = Torture

Sensory Deprivation = Not Torture (people pay for this)
Flaying/Skinning= Torture

Stress Positions/Long Standing = Not Torture (did this in Little League)
Flagellation/Whipping = Torture

Belly Slap = Not Torture (drinking game)
Impalement = Torture

Waterboarding = Not Torture
Knee Capping = Torture

Shirt Grabbing = Not Torture
Public Stoning by Taliban for Playing Music = Torture

Sleep Deprivation = Not Torture (most Americans are sleep deprived)
Being Next In Line After Jihadists Behead Your Friend = Torture

Forced Isolation = Not Torture (even in Liberal courts)
Tried, Convicted, Stoned/Whipped for BEING RAPED by your Uncle Achmed = Torture

Listening to Eminem's "Slim Shady" or Britney Spears = Not Torture (unpleasant I'll admit)
Listening to Self-Righteous Know-It-All Liberals Blather On and ON and ON= Torture

I hope this partial list has been helpful for you. God Bless America.

National Home Foreclosures

In an online article CNNmoney.com staff writer Catherine Clifford broke down a RealtyTrac report regarding home foreclosures. The last paragraph said, "The national report also found that the worst of the foreclosures were centralized in a handful of worst-hit states. California, Florida, Arizona, Nevada and Illinois accounted for nearly 60% of the total foreclosure activity in the first quarter, with 479,516 properties received foreclosure filings in those states."

Hmm, all of those states, excluding Arizona, were "Blue States" in the last Presidential Election. Also interesting is that the "National Leadership" is from three of those states. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is from California, Senate leader Harry Reid is from Nevada, and President Obama is from Illinois. Sure, John McCain is from Arizona but he might as well be a Democrat. I'm not saying it's because of Democrat leadership but it's interesting that the people saying they have the answers are from the areas hardest hit. They didn't do much for their home states did they?

Obama The Rock Star? Yeah, Sure.

If you watch enough TV news you've no doubt heard that President Barack Obama is greeted "like a rock star" wherever he goes. Talking head after talking head salivate over Obama. They mention his star quality, and how a thrill goes up their leg. He's a rock star to them. Now, before you dismiss the "rock star" characterization by the press I'm going to say it's accurate in more ways than even the media hacks imagine.

First, Rock Stars are often really screwed up people that have some combination of broken homes, abusive parents, drug habits, depression, suicidal or homicidal tendencies, embarrassing relatives, and delusions of grandeur. President Obama is surely a Rock Star in this regard. Rock On!

Second, Rock Stars are often self-centered narcissists. They make everything about themselves. When at the Summit of the Americas, President Obama sat through Daniel Ortega's 50 minute speech about a "terroristic" U.S., did he defend his country? Did he show any displeasure? No. He said, "I'm grateful that President Ortega did not blame me for things that happened when I was three months old." Way to go Rock Star!

Third, no matter how popular the Rock Star is they are only really popular with a small segment of society as a whole. You can be a Rock Star by selling fewer CD's than Ralph Nader got votes in his presidential campaign. You can be a Rock Star recognized by millions that is really only popular with fringe weirdos. In his niche Obama's a Star. To many others he was the only thing on the radio. Rock and Roll!

Last, Rock Stars have been known to frequently express or agree with, anti-American sentiments. To them the U.S. is the problem with the world and Rock Stars like to tell us how great it is everywhere else - even though they refuse to stay where they think it's better. You know the type..."not God bless America, God Damn America". If we judge President Obama by his friends then he meets this test of being a Rock Star. Rock Me!

So, when the media says President Obama is like a Rock Star don't get mad. Just smile.

Will Democrat Gun Banners Be As Stupid As Canada's?

Just when you think gun control gets to its most ridiculous you hear something new and more ridiculous...Canada is now asking gun owners about their love life when renewing gun permits. Yes, you read that right. George Jonas reports on Canada's nationalpost.com that "Before renewing his gun permit in 2007, the authorities decided to inquire into (Pierre) Lemieux’s bedroom history. Did he divorce anyone in the last two years? Did he break up with a girlfriend? If yes, use a separate sheet to explain." Explain? What does that have to do with a gun permit?

Now, you might think "oh, it's just Canada" but you have to remember that President Obama and the Democrat Congress have more in common with the Socialists in Canada than with right-thinking, logical, gun-owning, freedom-loving Americans. He has previously supported a rights rationing bill in Illinois that would limit law abiding citizens from buying more than one gun a month. Obama and Democrats like Nancy Pelosi support local gun bans in Chicago, Washington, D.C., and other cities despite evidence violent crime increased after bans went into effect. Obama has endorsed a 500% increase in the federal excise tax on firearms and ammunition creating an economic barrier to a citizen's self-defense. Obama and the Democrat Congress want to re-impose the failed and discredited Clinton Gun Ban. And, the President and Democrat Congress support gun owner licensing and gun registration. So, how far down the road are questions about your love life and erectile dysfunction here in the U.S. under Obama's administration? How stupid will it get?

Make sure you act now to preserve your rights. Join the NRA and make sure you contact your representatives...and if your representatives don't support your rights - make sure they become unemployed. Stop stupidity now.

The San Antonio Tea Party

Today is April 15th, Tax Day, and also the day people around the country take part in "Tea Parties". What is a Tea Party? Well, it's a gathering of like-minded people from all walks of life and various political backgrounds...Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians, and Independents were in attendance and involved in the San Antonio Tea Party. What could bring all of those people together? What brought them together is a certain knowledge that the U.S. Government is far too large and unwisely spends far too much of the taxpayers money.

And, before you allow yourself to be convinced otherwise let me tell you something...I was there...the Tea Party was non-violent. It was non-partisan. It was not "right wing" (like CNN said), nor was it "left wing". It was not started by Fox News or any talk show host - it's a true grassroots effort. It wasn't a protest against President Obama nor any one person in particular. It was a declaration that this is still our country and we are unhappy with how the over sized, overbearing government is over spending OUR MONEY. It's recognition that the U.S. Government is addicted to deficit spending and growing a debt so large it will take generations to pay.

Generally, the sentiments of people attending the San Antonio Tea Party lead me to believe that all in attendance would agree with a couple of my favorite quotes from Thomas Jefferson, "My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government." and "The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not." Maybe you agree?

The Tea Party was a great start on the path to correcting the problems in our increasingly UnConstituitonal government. The Tea Party is a statement by the people that government is responsible to us, not the other way around.

Obama Administration Lies About Arms Smuggling To Mexico

Lie, Lie, Lie. That's what the U.S. media and the Obama administration have been doing regarding drug related gun violence in Mexico. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Senator Diane Feinstein, and BATF Assistant Director William Hoover have all been blaming United States citizens for illegally providing 90 percent of the weapons used by Mexican drug gangs. Just one problem...they lie like rugs. The real number is around 17 percent.

I know you're thinking "why would they lie?" Easy, they don't believe in the U.S. Constitution, particularly the Second Amendment...and this is an effort to diminish the Second Amendment rights of U.S. citizens. It's a guilt trip designed to get the gullible to go along with new gun control measures.

Fox News reported there are a variety of sources for the weapons used by Mexican Drug Gangs:

"-- The Black Market. Mexico is a virtual arms bazaar, with fragmentation grenades from South Korea, AK-47s from China, and shoulder-fired rocket launchers from Spain, Israel and former Soviet bloc manufacturers.

-- Russian crime organizations. Interpol says Russian Mafia groups such as Poldolskaya and Moscow-based Solntsevskaya are actively trafficking drugs and arms in Mexico.

- South America. During the late 1990s, the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) established a clandestine arms smuggling and drug trafficking partnership with the Tijuana cartel, according to the Federal Research Division report from the Library of Congress.

-- Asia. According to a 2006 Amnesty International Report, China has provided arms to countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America. Chinese assault weapons and Korean explosives have been recovered in Mexico.

-- The Mexican Army. More than 150,000 soldiers deserted in the last six years, according to Mexican Congressman Robert Badillo. Many took their weapons with them, including the standard issue M-16 assault rifle made in Belgium.

-- Guatemala. U.S. intelligence agencies say traffickers move immigrants, stolen cars, guns and drugs, including most of America's cocaine, along the porous Mexican-Guatemalan border. On March 27, La Hora, a Guatemalan newspaper, reported that police seized 500 grenades and a load of AK-47s on the border. Police say the cache was transported by a Mexican drug cartel operating out of Ixcan, a border town."

If Bush Had Done It

Anybody who says the U.S. media isn't biased in favor of Democrats is seriously demented. Every time President George W. Bush mispronounced a single syllable or made the slightest mistake the press went into a frenzy and late night talk shows showed no mercy. Apparently the press thinks President Obama can do no wrong. Any mention of a misstep is just that...a mention; then, you won't see it mentioned again.

Do you think I'm wrong? How about an example? On March 17th, St. Patrick's Day, President Obama was having a party to celebrate the day and had invited the Irish Prime Minister. During the opening of the party President Obama began to read the Irish Prime Minister's speech from the teleprompter and went so far as to thank himself for the invitation to the party. First, who brings a teleprompter to a party? Second, how can he go that far into someone else's speech without recognizing it isn't his? Third, how come the media didn't start calling him an idiot like they would have if it had been Bush? Easy, they're biased.

Another example? Do you remember when President Obama became the first sitting U.S. President to appear on a late night talk show - The Tonight Show with Jay Leno? Do you remember how President Obama made a remark about Special Olympics? Did the media go after Obama as they would have Bush? Of course not. You know Bush would have been compared to every evil figure throughout history...Hitler, Stalin, Dr. Mengele and Fu Manchu.

How about the latest gaff by the Obama administration? The press was supposed to be on a conference call today with officials traveling with President Obama in London at the G20 meeting. When they made the call they were connected with a phone sex line. If President Bush's people had made that mistake he'd be the anti-christ.

What does all this mean? It means you can't trust the media to provide a truthful, unbiased account of anything President Obama does. And, the reasons are simple. Media members are apparently liberals, socialists, marxists, and communists who don't mind working in the propaganda department.

Does This Sound Familiar?

I want you to read the following entry and then tell me whether it sounds like the current situation in the United States:

…that the State shall make it its primary duty to provide a livelihood for its citizens… the abolition of all incomes unearned by work… the ruthless confiscation of all war profits… the nationalization of all businesses which have been formed into corporations… profit-sharing in large enterprises… extensive development of insurance for old-age… land reform suitable to our national requirements…

Well, does it sound familiar? Does "livelihood for its citizens" sound like expansion of welfare? How about "abolition of all incomes unearned by work", is that a criticism of investors in the stock market and excessively taxing the rich? Is the "nationalization of all businesses... corporations" what is happening to AIG, GM, Chrysler and others? Does it relate to President Obama's plan to put members of his administration into companies like GM? Is "profit-sharing in large enterprises" referring to actions by the Fed or the U.S. Treasury?

Well as familiar as it sounds it's not something from the Obama administration....it's from the 1920's. It's from the Nazi Party's 25 Point Programme. Still seems familiar though.

Obama Wants To Halve The Deficit - What About The Debt?

President Obama (PBO) has been talking and talking about cutting the deficit in half over the next four years. His supporters and Democrat Kool-Aid drinkers cheer loudly when the President says things like that...why? All he's saying is that he's supporting continued government overspending. Cutting the deficit in half just means that he wants to reduce overspending by half - just half? What about the National Debt? Time for another short civics lesson.

The Deficit

The deficit is the difference between what the federal government spends and the revenue it receives from taxpayers during a particular year. Simply, it's the government equivalent of writing hot checks. Obama wants to write fewer hot checks but has no plans to pay back the hot checks already written. Why write any hot checks at all?

The Debt

The debt is the difference between all the taxpayer money that our federal government has ever spent and all the revenue that it has ever collected since the birth of our nation. It's the total of all the annual deficits - all the hot checks government has ever written plus interest, penalties, and bad check fees. Obama has no plan for debt repayment - that will be done by your children.

Instead of cheering President Obama for writing hot checks you should really be pushing him to STOP! The U.S. Taxpayer will eventually have to cover all the deficit spending and repay the national debt that Obama seems to be willing to run up further and further.

OMG! I Agree With President Obama!

I know you can't believe it. I can barely believe it myself. I'm in complete agreement with President Obama for the first time and it scares me. What is it that we agree upon? Let's look back to Monday 2/9/9.

On Monday, President Obama held a prime time news conference. I don't hold that against him but in these "tough economic times" I would think that the networks would have benefited from some income from advertisers. Anyway, he's the President and like others before him he pre-empted one of my favorite shows. Ok, back to my agreement... During that press conference he stated that he had "inherited this recession". I agree. He did inherit this recession.

HE INHERITED THIS RECESSION FROM THE DEMOCRATIC MAJORITY IN CONGRESS!

All during the presidential campaign we heard about the "Bush Economy" and how out of control government spending was hurting us. We also heard about problems with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Yeah, government spending and Fannie/Freddie are big issues in this recession. But, let's remember a few things here. First, the "Bush Economy" turned Obama into a millionaire, had growth nearly every year, and had extremely low unemployment. Second, no President of the United States can spend anything other than his own paycheck that isn't appropriated by CONGRESS...and since the mid-term elections of 2006 Congress had been controlled by Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senator Harry Reid and their merry band of Democrats. In other words, George Bush could spend only what Democrats approved. Third, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are overseen by Congressional committees run by...wait for it...Democrats.

Yes, I agree that President Obama inherited this recession, but he inherited it from his own family.

Obama and Biden - Sticking Their Noses Into Private Business Affairs?

Thursday President Obama was quoted as saying "It is shameful". What was shameful? He was referring to $18 Billion in bonuses paid to Wall Street executives. He also said "And part of what we're going to need is for the folks on Wall Street who are asking for help to show some restraint, and show some discipline, and show some sense of responsibility." Vice President Biden said "I'd like to throw these guys in the brig." Huh? Why? They're in private business and their only responsibility when it comes to pay and bonuses is to make the owners of their company (stock holders) and the members of the board believe they earned what they got. That's it.

The only reason the government should have anything to say about the issue is if taxpayer money is used for the bonuses. And, the only way that could happen is if the Socialists in Washington, D.C. give money to "bailout" a private company AND don't place restrictions on how the money is used. If they're that stupid, and they are, then they have no right to bitch and moan when execs get board approval for a bonus. If taxpayer money isn't used then it's none of the federal government's damned business but as usual Democrats are engaging in class warfare to distract the public.

Just remember, if the government can tell Wall Street execs how much money they can make or how much their bonus can be...they can tell you too.
