Recession is when your neighbor loses his job.
Depression is when you lose yours.
And, recovery will be when Obama loses his.

Milkin' Time Again

Alan Keyes

So I said to him, “Barack, I know Abe Lincoln and you ain’t him.”

I feel like I'm in Oz

Stimulate This!

Read it and weep.....

Included in all the pork, the package contains $6.1 billions dollars binned to "Other". I wonder what that is.

Green Shirts

Included in O’Bama’s campaign rhetoric was the promise of jobs. The rage was from 1 million to 3 million jobs that will be added to the American economy. Even considering the stated areas of health care, infrastructure and the like, actual numbers will still come up far short of the 3 million projections.

When the carbon credit/cap and trade laws come to pass, who will enforce these laws, rules and regulations? Tah-dah! The Green Shirts!

We can’t expect current staff of law enforcement to take on the additional task. Reminiscent of the “Brown Shirts” the Nazis used, the “Green Shirts” will patrol with streets, looking for offenders and turning them in. These men and women will be feared above all others. Sniffing out Sunday afternoon barbeques, tickets will be issued and fines will be paid. A search warrant will not be required, since the green shirt will have probable cause due to the smell of burning mesquite and sizzling t-bones.

IMHO, 3 million people will not be enough. O’Bama will overachieve his goal with Algore at his side.

O'Bama's Cabinet

I'm just wondering if all the Cabinet positions have been filled. Frankly, I welcome all the appointees that owe back taxes. As a matter of fact, I think it should be a requirement in order to be considered for a Cabinet position. This will do a lot to reduce the public debt.

It does beg the question: Would these folks be paying these taxes if they hadn't been "caught"?

They are fine role models for the general public.

Shovels at the Ready

More than hitting the ground running, the Obama-ites are rivaling a tire smoking dragster launch as they deploy the economic Him-ulus package. "We don't have a moment to spare" is the chant spoken while setting out to pack as much as possible into the exploitable honeymoon period.
A complete, straightforward list of the Rescue Package contents has been impossible to find; but from what I have seen, the strategy is depressingly familiar. Instead of filling up the canal lock to lift the essential boats, the cash flood is instead being diverted off to water the many garden patches of government perceived "good guys" and designated winners. Head Start, the National Endowment for the Arts, infrastructure related to powerful unions, $300m for sexually transmitted disease education; you know the buzz phrase, all those "shovel ready" projects.
What are they shoveling?
Sadly, it looks like the S.O.S. in response to a national SOS.

Global Warming

Well, it's 0 degrees Fahrenheit outside and my thoughts turn to global warming. Wait til Barry gets in and fixes it. Imagine how cold it will be next year! What a pleasant relief! I think I'll make a gin fizz to drown my sorrows. No, wait, I'll need one of these:

And, I'll need some of these:

Yup, wait til Barry gets in..... no more seltzer water, no paintball guns and no Swiss Cheese.

How many carbon credits do you think will be attached to the purchase of seltzer bottle cartridges?
Come to think of it, active yeast cultures create CO2 in the process of making bread. That's why it's soft and full of holes. Beer, wine, CARBONated drinks.... all gone in an effort to save the planet.
I can't wait.... I think I need a drink.

Jimbama

I just watched a Jim Jones special on MSNBC. I normally avoid MSNBC, but I was surfing today and the show caught my eye. I know the story of Jim Jones and the show’s presentation was noting special. The things that kept me glued to the TV were the similarities between Jones and our president-to-be.

Jones began as a preacher/community organizer and became an influential person in California government. The masses that followed Jones, ultimately to die in Guiana, each saw problems with Jones’ approach, yet none were willing to speak out. They all believed that the ends justified the means.

Jones attempted to create a utopia. While in California, he was everything to everybody. Those that needed shelter were given a roof over their heads. Those that needed food were fed and health care was given to those that had none.

Does any of this sound familiar? It ALL sounds familiar to me. If you oppose the pres-to-be, you are selfish. I’ll tell you how un-selfish I am. I would rather have a total collapse of the economy than to bailout every corporation that is now coming out of the woodwork. That includes the car companies. We are only delaying the inevitable.

Our pres-to-be will be creating jobs. They will be government jobs and since the government doesn’t create wealth, it will be welfare.

“Come my children… come and drink the Kool-Aid.”

"Give Us Barrabas!"

I know how the followers of JC must have felt as Barrabas was set free.

McCain is no JC by ANY means. Frankly, I don't think he deserved to be elected. Bush did noting to defend himself. He said he didn't want to "bring politics to the presidency". As Bush did the "rope-a-dope" with Congress, it reflected badly on McCain. The "failed economic policies of Bush" that obama effectively used against McCain were due, in large part, to the ineffective leadership of Bush, not his policies. Bush tried to "reign in" sub-prime loans 20+ times. A real leader would have held a press conference after the first attempt, exposing the cads. If Bush had been a better leader, we wouldn't be where we are today.

McCain can now return to Congress and work across the aisle with his "friends" that constantly threw him under the bus.

I can't wait 'til I become a minority. Maybe then, my views and beliefs will have a voice. (My change of status is predicted to be around 2020.)

I think this says it all.....

I don't know who Lisa Benson is, but she does good work.

"Spreading It"

Spreading the wealth? Spreading the crap! That's what I heard this morning. I just heard Ron Gettelfinger's interview on WJR. When Paul W said spreading the wealth was Socialism, Gettelfinger laughed him of. He said, "you can put your political spin on....". Huh? It shouldn't have surprised me, but with the truth sitting on Gettelfinger's face, he doesn't recognize it. Or worse yet, he agrees with it.

Gettelfinger represents the majority of Barry supporters. They hear or see the truth, but they refuse to believe it.

Colon Powell

Well, Colon is now endorsing Barry. I guess he's looking for a place in the cabinet.

Driver's Licenses for Illegals?

Today, Barry announced he supported giving driver's licenses to illegal aliens. It's another great opportunity for McCain. Will he jump on it, or will he let this one pass? Time will tell.

If giving them licenses is going to be a sting operation, I'm all for it. They come in to get their licenses and we deport them. Pretty neat idea.

Their Dads

I heard Megan McCain on the radio the other day, promoting her book about her father. I don't know if the RNC wrote it; I don't care. Here's an unauthorized excerpt from her book:
"My dad and the other prisoners were treated badly. He didn't get the right kind of medical care for his broken bones, and the food was really bad -- once he found a chicken foot in his lunch. ...But then my dad got a chance most prisoners didn't. Since he was an admiral's son, the Vietnamese who had captured him said they would let him go home. My dad was hurt, sick, and scared. But he knew there were some things more important than himself - like his faith in God, his country, and the men he served with. My dad wouldn't go home and leave his friends. I think only a great man would have made that choice."

She went on to describe the awards he was given:
"The Silver Star, the Legion of Merit, the Distinguished Flying Cross, the Bronze Star, and the Purple Heart."

Contrast that, if you will, to Barry's book "Dreams from My Father". Many believe it was written by Bill Ayers. I don't know if he wrote it and I don't care. Barry's father was a Socialist "elected" official in Kenya. This is not my opinion; it's a FACT.

Here's an unauthorized excerpt from his book:
It was usually an effective tactic, another one of those tricks I had learned. People were satisfied so long as you were courteous and smiled and made no sudden moves. They were more than satisfied. They were revealed. Such a pleasant surprise to find a well-mannered young black man who didn't seem angry althe time.

Since I haven't read the book, I must assume that Barry finds the dreams of his Socialist father to be desirable. Those who believe the same will vote for Barry.

The ACORN doesn't fall far from the tree.

Invasion of the Mind Snatchers

I feel like I'm a cast member of the Invasion of the Body Snatchers movie. Only, in this case, it's Invasion of the Mind Snatchers. One by one, the citizens of the U.S. are being mesmerized by a Svengali named Obama. "To resist is futile", they say. "Come into the light", is another mantra.

I can't wear my McCain buttons for fear of persecution. There is no reasoning with Barry supporters. They appear to be oblivious the the facts. Their deep-seated hatred of Bush makes them blind sheep.

Maybe if I go to sleep, I'll wake up and realize that this is all a bad dream. On the other hand, I might wake up as a mindless zombie. Maybe I better not go to sleep.

To Vote or Not to Vote

That is the question.
Other than firing the heads of AIG, I can't think of a single thing that I agree with in his policies, his platform or anything else about him. Barry believes that health care is a right. The U.S. has the most obese poor people in the world. Will Barry demand that these people loose 100 pounds before a triple-bypass surgery?

The more McCain opens his mouth, the less I like him. During the last debate, he spoke about re-evaluating the value of mortgages. It sure sounded socialist to me. And, man made global warming? He's off the deep end there too. I swear, if that man said, "working across the isle", one more time, I would have tossed dinner.

If these 2 are the best we have, then God help America!
