White House lies? I'm shocked... shocked...

This current situation over the murder of Chris Stephens and three other Americans in Benghazi is yet another demonstration of the riddle: How can you tell if Obama is lying? Answer: Are his lips moving?

Apparently everybody knew the attack on the Benghazi consulate was a terorist act within 24 hours of its execution. Ambassador Stephens mentioned in a journal days before that he felt his life was in danger. Some news reports stated that the Libyan and US governments had received threats of some kind from terrorists warning of the attack shortly before it happened.

But now, according the current US regime, it was all because of that little -- and stupid -- movie trailer. Sometimes they still say that -- the Comrade told the UN Assembly that the other day. Although surely by now they know better, and have claimed that they know it was the act of terrorists.

So what's with the White House? Bare-faced lies or their heads are so far up their butts they can't see past their tonsils?

What do you think?

See, according to the Comrade, and other anti-Americans, including a lot of Libertarians, curiously enough, everything that goes wrong for America overseas is "Our chickens coming home to roost," in the words of the eminent Rev. Jeremiah Wright. See, it's all our fault.

Like the 9/11/01 attack on the World Trade Center was this evil plot that George Bush dreamed up. For some reason.

I've mentioned before that I'm a US Civil War buff. I mean, I've studied it very closely, and not the battles so much (although pretty extensively), but also opinion and activities on the home fronts.

Very interesting. Lincoln was elected Nov. 7, 1860. He wasn't sworn into office until March, 1861 -- I mean, communications and everything pretty much sucked at the time. So President Buchanan, who preceded Lincoln, remained in office as most of the slave states seceded from the Union in the months between November, 1860, and March, 1861. Buchanan protested secession and questioned its legality, but he didn't do much. Buchanan didn't want to take any major actions about secession, taking the approach that Lincoln would have to handle it. Buchanan didn't want to start something, then dump it on Lincoln.

So in the South -- the newly-formed Confederate States of America -- rebels began seizing and sacking federal forts, post offices, customs houses, armories, etc. etc. And this before Lincoln was iunaugurated in March. Buchanan didn't do much of anything.

So the Confederates ranted on, full of hellfire and bluster about their own glory and how much they were obliged to sustain slavery and the planters' gentry status as some kind of wise and benevolent ruling class. They had every right, they claimed -- oddly, since they claimed that right under the US Constitution, which they'd just thrown off. And they were all full of beans about how wonderful things would be for them, since, of course, wasn't it obvious? "The Yankees won't fight."

Yeah, the Yankees were just a-shaking in their boots in the face of Confederate might and manliness.

Well, we all know how that turned out. The Yankees did fight. The Yankees beat the living tar out of the CSA, stripped the southern states of any status whatsoever under the US Consitution as well as much of their wealth, and kept them under martial law for years after the war, or the combat, ended. The Yankees did fight, eventually, and only about a month after Lincoln was inaugurted.

And an all out war might possibly have been deferred or somehow negotiated if the Yankees had presented some kind of forthright and stubborn resolve from the start of secession, rather than allowing the rebels to cling to the consolation of "The Yankees won't fight."

Right now, former Ambassador John Bolton, along with many, many others in government who are largely political conservatives, are emphasizing that America is best presented to the rest of the world as an unmoving rock, strong, resolved, and backed up by an unimaginable military might.

The Comrade and his cohorts, on the other hand, opt for a "kinder, gentler" USA, that wouldn't harm a flea, and when under assault, apologizes for provoking the attack. Leading the muslim terrorists and others around the world to believe that "The Yankees won't fight."

Well, good going, Comrade. Your humble and apologetic posture only invites attack. And you know how it goes... If you keep doing the same thing over and over again and expect to get different results.... That's one definition of insanity, no?

So the White House becomes an asylum, and not the kind Thomas Paine was talking about.

Lotsa "noise" and "bumps in the road"

Well, the Comrade gave us his perspective on current events in a 60 Minutes interview yesterday. .

Israeli President Netanyahu's concern for the survival of his nation is just so much "noise," as is the prospect of Iran developing nuclear weapons.

The deaths of Christopher Stephens and his staff of three are "bumps in the road" as muslim terrorists find their way to... wherever the hell they're going. Or to hell. Period.

Iran's Abracadabrajab is addressing the UN on Wednesday -- Yom Kippur, unfortunately -- and no doubt he will hurl every insult imaginable at the US and Israel.

Doesn't Abracadabrajab see how hard the Comrade is trying to throw Israel under the bus? "Why attack me?" the Comrade asks."I hate Jews as much as you do."

In addition, with so many world leaders at the UN, the Comrade apparently has refused to meet face-to-face with any of them. Apparently he's got a several fund raisers and a couple golf games scheduled instead.

Actually, I think he's just hiding. I believe it's just that the abject and shameful failure of the Comrade's "foreign policy" or lack of it is so clearly inescapable, he's paralyzed by it. He has no options, no other ideas. And just can't confront the disaster he's created. He can't admit mistakes and errors, ignorance, naivete, stupidity. He can't admit it.

He sees his beloved muslim terrorists burning him in effigy and his ego is crushed. "They don't love me? They don't regard me as the promised messiah?" His whole world view is turned upside down.

And since the Comrade can't admit error and failure, he can't correct it. He can only move "forward," like a lemming over a cliff. But he insists upon taking all the rest of us with him.

I, personally, do not like the burden the USA carries as "leader of the free world." It's terrible. It makes you a target. It's very costly in a lot of ways.

But if we don't do it, who will? Abracadabrajab? Putin? That crazy French socialist? Do you trust them with your freedom?

Or are we all as blind and naive as the Comrade and believe if we simply turn away and pretend everything's rosy, it will all go fine.

Yeah... well, I recall too well 9/11 -- both 9/11s now. You can't run away from bullies. They come after you. At some point, you have to stand up and defend yourself. And that must be nearly impossible for someone like the Comrade, who never liked the USA to begin with.

Dinesh D'Souza's "2016"

Saw the movie "2016" tonight. That's the film produced by Molen, who made "Schindler's List," and based on a book by Dinesh D'Souza, who also narrates the film. It's a documentary.

I wish every American (or should I just say "voter" and leave it at that?) could see that movie before they vote for president in November.

I've read a few things by D'Souza. He's not a right wing crackpot. He's a very serious scholar, and also an immigrant to the USA. He was born and mostly raised in India, came to the USA to attend Dartmouth, and stayed.

"2016" is not a smear. It doesn't call The Comrade names, like I do. It just takes a serious look at the Comrade's background. And assumes he was born in Hawaii -- not a birther thing.

What D'Souza does, though, is look at the influences in the Comrade's life, and finds a cause-and-effect relationship between the way he was raised and his actions as US President.

It's very enlightening. You can also get it from YouTube in pieces currently, download it from dozens of sites, free as an offer to get you to subscribe to a certain service, etc. What I'm saying is, it's widely and cheaply available.

Nobody vetted the Comrade when he was running for office. D'Souza -- who has studied racism and race relations in America pretty closelty in the past -- suggests that it was race that got the Comrade elected. White liberal guilt, you know. Americans wanted to elect a black guy, even if he was only half black. It's supposed to redeem the USA for 60 years of black slavery -- 150 years ago..

I never felt guilty for slavery. I've never enslaved anyone. I'm fairly certain I would have been a Yankee in the US Civil War -- and I've studied that very closely. 620,000 people died in that conflict, trying to make good on the USA's promise of freedom. And, by the way, 180,000 blacks, many but not all of them one-time slaves, also fought in that war, and all for the Union. 

Therefore, I always regarded the Comrade as a marxist -- not due to his color, but to his promises. While everyone else was getting a thrill up their legs, I was smelling socialism -- at least. I didn't look at his color. I listend to what he was saying. When he started talking about "redistribution" -- that's a red flag. (Literally a "red" flag.) "Redistribution" is what happens when you conquer the ruling class and steal their stuff. "Redistrubiton" is what happened in France in 1789, for example, when the sans culottes over-ran a corrupt and rigid monarchy-oligarchy situation. The French Revolution.

We don't have a ruling class in America, despite all of Washington DC's efforts. We have historically, "thrown the bums out" before they could do too much damage. But it's pretty late in the game now. The November election may be our last chance to "breathe free."

Anyway, watch "2016." If you plan to affect the election by voting, you should do what you can to get some real, factual information about the Comrade and about Romney and Ryan. Otherwise, please don't inflict your vote on the rest of us who do try to keep up.

Good for Libya

Well, it seems a few Libyans have woken up and are fighting back against the radical terrorist muslims that are disrupting that nation.

More violence, of course, but apparently that's what it takes to rid yourself of the scourge.

Seems to me if they worked so hard to depose (and beat to death) Qadaffi, they'd be reluctant to hand over the victory to a bunch of loony terrorists.

Have to commend those Libyans who oppose the crazies. Maybe there's hope for Libya yet.

So where is the White House on muslim protests?

Very interesting. We've heard several stories now from Jay Carneybarker at the White House, and whoever that woman with the bad hair is at the State Department regarding the uprising of muslim terrorisrs all around the world.

First it was because of that stupid film clip that suggested Mohammed was less than saintly. "It's all his fault. Go arrest him."

So they got the guy in detention, but aparently there wren't really any grounds for his arrest. He sucks as a film-maker, but if that was a crimial offense, surely Michael Moore would be in San Quentin.

And Susan "Don't have a clue" Rice, US Ambassador to the UN and a long-time cohort of our illustrious Comrade, went on severl big talk shows and announced that the whole mess in the Egypt and all was just a "spontaneous" outbreak of hatred for America and American free speech -- due to that stupid film clip.

Interesting how John McCain was the first to ponder, "How many people show up at a protest with rocket-propelled grenades and other heavy weapons?" Good question. Glad someone in Washington noticed that. Maybe because McCain has a military background.

In addition, polls that were taken very qucikly determined that about 75% of US citizens would rather go to war with the muslim world than surrender their right to free speech.

So the idea of censorship went nowhere.

And then it became clear -- from the mouth of the Presdient of Libya, no less -- that those psychos who killed the US Ambassador in Benghazi were terrorists. The incident was a terrorist attack, not a protest, that president said.

So then, and still, the rest of the muslim world is going up in flames. People in gunny sacks jumping up and down in front of US, German, Swiss, and French embassies like bunch of monkeys, screaming, throwing things. Looks like an asylum for the crimially insane. I guess it is.

And so then yesterday, Jay Carneybarker announced that the attack on the Libyan consulate, where Chris Stevens and three others were killed is "self-evidently" a terrorist attack.

Maybe self-evident to most Americans for a week or more, but apparently that just dawned on the White House.

And I suppose somehow, it'll end up that it's all George Bush's fault. Or Mitt Romney's.

And where the hell is the US President? I think the Comrade made a casual mention in some radio address that the Middle East is in flames and a million crazed muslims are coming to get us. But he deson't seem very concerned about it,. No, it's much more important to him to go out and slander Romney and Ryan.

Somebody's values and priorities are totally screwed up, do ya think?

On a positive note, Donald Reaqgan, Ronald Reagan's son, was on Megyn Kelly's show today and suggested that since the Comrade is apparently AWOL -- lost his way on the campaign trail and may be wandering through Death Valley, looking for the tracks of his bus in the sand -- that perhaps someone like Mitt Romney should stand up and simply take over the role of Leader of the Free World. At least to comfort and reassure American citizens that we'll survive.

I'd like that. I'd llike to have someone in the White House who gives a shit. We haven't enjoyed that for quite some time now.

Make my day... release the blind sheikh

Laughing so hard right now I have coffee shooting out my nose. I just saw the latest ad from the DNC, claiming Mitt Romney is conducting class warfare.

The dems are such major league liars and hypocrites it just boggles the mind.

On that note, the State Department -- who are in charge of foreign affairs -- just announced that they have no plans to release the blind sheikh. I'm not sure what his name is, I'm guessing something like Al-qill-all.

At any rate, the blind sheikh was the "brains" behind the first, failed bombing of the World Trade Center. Remember the truck bomb that went off in the basement, doing almost nothing to the rest of the building? Anyway, he's serving a life sentence in the USA for that,.

If you've been looking at the signs the loonie muslim terrorists are waving in front of the cameras in front the US Embassy in Egypt, you may have noticed that a number of them are in English and are demanding the release of the blind sheikh.

Apparently notices were posted around Sept. 9 on the Internet that all mad-dog loonie muslim terrorists strap on their skates and protest the US Embassy in Egypt on 9/11. Reportedly, the posts suggest these mad-dog muslims burn down the Embassy if necessary. Necessary for what, I don't know.

Also, blind sheikh supporters wear Santa Claus hats. You can identify them that way. Although I really don't know what's up with that.

The State Department says they aren't considering releasing the sheikh, and that they've received nothing from any "senior" Egyptians making such demands.

But we know they lie. They've done nothing but lie since the first hysterical muslim, foaming at the mouth and shouting bloodthirsty curses, appeared in front of the US Embassy.

You know what, though? I hope this stupid White House does order the sheikh's release.

Then for sure the butt-kissing incompetent who sucks up the perks belonging to the Office of the US President will most deinitely lose the election. And henceforth, he may find it more convenient to live in Uganda or Sudan or some muslim armpit nation instead of trying to return to anyplace in the USA. Seems he'd be more comfortable in the 3rd or 4th world anyway, among other crazies and marxists. Maybe he could organize them.

And ol' Hillary, Secretary of State and another follower of the infamous Saul Alinsky (of Rules for Radicals fame) won't dare show her face as a candidate in 2016. We could get rid of the whole lot of them.

Hey, Mitt, don't apologize for the truth

Late last night I heard the audio of a Mitt Romney fundraiser -- or it seemed to be -- that was leaked by Mother Jones. It was on Huffington Post, without the video, only the sound.

Of course, Huffington Post made a big deal out of it. "Ooooh, kids, what will the government dependents say?"

Who cares? They're probably voting for the Comrade anyway. Just like those union members who march in lockstep with their leaders. They're "jobs" or shall we say "incomes" depend on supporting -- by votes, mind you, because they depend on the governtment for everything else -- a massive nanny state. These are people who gave up the First Freedom -- freedom to make your own decisions -- a long time ago. They'd rather ponder their victimhood rather than act to free themselves from it.

What ticks me off is that so many people who call themselves "conservative" accept the lamestream media's interpretation of Romney's words. They go, like the socialists, "Ooooooh kids, the underclass won't like it." Saw Bill O'Reilly doing this tonight his show, and certainly he should know better.

Who gives a damn? The underclass gets a solid percentage of all of our incomes. Isn't that enough? Do we have to be polite to them, too? If the truth hurts their hopeless little hearts, so be it.

But admittedly, in many cases, and especially because we are all burdened with Obamonomics and a disappearing economy, the poor aren't solely responsible for their poverty. Looking at the non-improving unemployment statistics, I would guess many people who live on government checks today were doing pretty well for themselves four or five years ago. They can't find jobs. They can't find jobs largely because of the Comrade's stupid policies.

If they're smart and truly want get off the government dole, they'll vote for Romney.

The rest? Who gives a damn? If they summon enough energy to vote at all, they'll vote for the socialist.

And funny, too, I've read many comments from those who note their responses at the end of news articles. Many of them want -- very much -- to see Romney take off the gloves. They like it when he's not so nice.

I do too.

Muslims gone wild

I'm getting a little sick of these psychopaths in the Middle East.

Their countries are shit-holes. Egypt hasn't been "glorious" for 4,000 years. The rest of them live on the money they make selling crude to Europe and America and begged aid for their useless selves. Westerners don't want to see them starve -- though at this point, that looks like an appealing alternative.

Useless and destructive as they are, like adolescents unable to control their immediate impulses, they think they deserver some kind of special privileged treatment.

Don't any of them work? I mean, where to they get the time to tantrum so relentlessly?

Today is apparently something of a sabbath for them. So they go out and burn things, throw stones and anything else they can carry, and kill as many people as they can. So this must be the muslim definition of "worship."

Any question about why these countries don't even qualify for "third world" status? Try "shit-hole world."

Could it be because they have no human values, and not the respect for life that dogs have?

What a bunch of psychopaths. Only one way to deal with those who deliberately suppress their human capacity to reason, preferring to run like crazed lemings through the streets. You can't live with them. They won't let you. Like a crazy dog at the end of the street whose owner won't pen him up.

All they have are excuses. All they do is blame everyone else for their continuous failure at just about evertyhing. Whine, cry, feel sorry for their sorry useless selves and pointless, hopeless lives.

No wonder the Comrade has a soft spot in his head for them. Birds of a feather.

Forget Bush, it's all Romney's fault

Give me a break.

After being attacked by barking-mad mulsim terrorists a couple days ago, the U.S. Embassy in Cairo issued a statement that went something like, "Gee, I'm sorry. Can I destroy the U.S. Consitution to assuage your silly sensitivities?" Or like that.

Mitt Romney then issued a statement calling the event -- and especially the Embassy's response -- a disgrace.

The Comrade was at a fundraiser or something. He probably didn't know anything about the Egypt and Libya situation until he heard about it from a pizza maker in St. Louis while ordering a pie.

Anyway, hours after Romney's statement, the Comrade apparently turned on the TV and realized that the Mideast was blowing up, with foaming-at-the-mouth lunatics trying to murder our State Dept. representatives. Very disquieting, huh?

He was apparently more pissed off that Romney spoke up about it first.

So after a quick check of the polls and maybe a glance at international laws and traditions regarding diplomatic protocols -- and after the Libyans murdered Chistopher Stephens and his staff -- the Comrade decided to scold the Egyptian Embassy for kissing butt, and "strongly condemned" the murder of U.S. officials doing state business overseas.

Yeah, it is sort of bothersome, isn't it? When you're trying to get re-elected as a The Man Who Shot Osama Bn Laden.

And the Comrade noted that Mitt Romney "shot from the hip," issuing his statement before the Comrade had the spare time to break away from rabble-rousing to attend to U.S. foreign policy.

Interesting, isn't it, that the Comrade AGREED with Romney? And yet Romney was in the wrong?

Looks very, very much like the Comrade was totally at a loss for any response, saw Romney's statement, and then went, "Yeah. Me, too." Of course, the Comrade has to take credit for it -- so he demonizes Romney.

Leading from behind again, eh, Comrade? Hillary Clinton showed more backbone than the Comrade.

Well, we've witnessed this kind of B.S. for the last four years now. We know the Comrade now as the incompetent narcissist that he truly is. Even though the lamestream media is all atwitter about Romney upstaging the Comrade. I'm sure that, like the White House, NBC is much more upset about how this disaster -- a remake of the Carter administration -- will impact the elections than they are about the deaths of US consuls and even the perils of this current international turmoil.

Thank God for Romney. Has it ever been clearer that we need someone with a functioning brain and a true reverence for the USA in the White House?

Identifying "The Great Satan"

Well, the body count -- so far -- is in.

The muslim wingnuts in Libya killed U.S. Ambassador Chris Stephens and three of his staff. Don't quite know why. Many people question whether or not the cause was that stupid movie clip, because some reports claim that the riots, the attacks on the consulates, all of it, was planned ahead of time to coordinate with 9/11.

OK... so I'm not religious at all. I believe in life and human development and achievement. I don't have a horse in this particular race, or not a muslim, Christian or Jewish horse specifically.

However... would any sort of viable and useful and respectable God preach hatred, death, war, suicide, violence? Would He -- or She -- send his or her children into the streets to murder other people, and on as large a scale as possible, with no regard whatsoever for the value of life? Apparently with no purpose whatsoever, except to advance death, destruction, ignorance and poverty.

The larger question might well be -- what kind of nutso freak would worship such a demon and enact his will?

So I think we can clearly identify exactly who the Great Satan really is -- or are -- and he/they has nothing to do with Abraham, Solomon or Jesus. No, the Great Satan is some kind of looney-toons psychopath who lives just outside Israel's borders in the Middle East.

And where the hell is our Comrade? Golf? Basketball? Hey, Comrade, how about another tour of the Middle East? Think you'd survive? I bet you don't have the guts to even try it.

So, once again, how's that hope and change thing workin' for ya?

9/11 + 11 the movie -- the caliphate strikes back

Yesterday was the 11th anniversary of the attacks on New York's World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and wherever Flight 93 was headed before its doomed passengers counterattacked the plane's hijackers.

There were the usual tributes and memorials. And New York and DC, everyone says, enjoyed bright, clear skies and moderate temperatures -- just like on 9/11/01.

Too sad.

And on what is a day of mourning for the USA, the burgeoning muslim caliphate in the Mediterranean went on some kind of blockheaded rampage, storming the walls of US consulates in Egypt and Libya. They tore down and burned the US flag in Egypt, generating a wimp-like apology for America's religious tolerance from the State Dept's chargez-des-morons there. In Libya, an American was killed by a mob roaming the streets like a pack of rabid dogs. Just the same old same old for muslim nations.

Why? They claim it's because of a movie made in the USA that portrays Mohammed in a bad light.

I stalked YouTube and another visitor announced that the trailer for the anti-Mohammed movie was available at LiveLeak. So trekked over there.

If the 12-minute clip at LiveLeak is the movie the Egyptians and Libyans are so hysterical about -- what a bunch of loonies. The movie -- or at least the clip -- stinks very badly.

First of all, it's kind of funny in the way it pastes the live action over what appears to be  various photographs of the desert. The characters walk around and leave no footprints in the sand. What I assume is supposed to be an "armored vehicle" in one scene looks like a cardboard replica of the Nazi Volkswagen Beetle. The people wear very strange head gear, reminiscent of the "doo rags" blacks used to wear sometimes when they were trying to straighten their hair. (No longer cool, unless you're First Lady.)

The dialog apparently was written so that even -- or only -- an 8-year-old could understand it. And Mohammed directs several cohorts who, in any other film, could only be regarded as comic relief. Mohmammed himself doesn't do much but drool at the sight of big-breasted women and allow himself, but no one else, to take liberties with them.

The movie would be insulting except that it's so silly. Which is why I still harbor doubts about whether or not that thing at LiveLeak is THE movie that got the caliphate's panties in such a twist. The clip is ridiculous. Certainly not worth killing over. Perhaps only the muslims could take it seriously. The movie's so bad it's laughable.

But I've heard about some of the movies Iran's Abracadabrajab has produced, and perhaps even written, about how there was no Holocaust in World War II, etc etc. Those are equally as much as crap as the anti-Mohammed one, though with better production values. Yet I don't recall any westerners, not even Israelis or Holocaust survivors -- taking to the streets like extras in a Frankenstein movie and burning Iranian flags.

The caliphate just isn't civilized. They need to learn Lesson #1 about living in the world with other people. That is -- tolerance. We put up with your crap, you put up with ours.

The alternative is you blow up our cities, we blow up yours. Is that preferable?

Chicago, Illinois, armpit of the Midwest

For 20 years, I lived in Chicago. Can't imagine why.

Chicago lost its bid for the Olympics and instead, right now, is hosting a teachers' strike. The teachers only make an average of $75,000.00 a year -- that's AVERAGE salary, mind you -- for working 6 hours a day, 9 months a year.

The AVERAGE income of families living in Chicago -- those who pay for the schools -- is $47,000.00. That's for working 8 or more hours a day, at least 5 days a week, 50 weeks a year, and possibly with a second job on evenings and weekends.

What's wrong with this picture? The tail wagging the dog?

I used to work with a woman whose husband tried to be a biology teacher in Chicago. However, his biology degree apparently was too specialized. He got a classroom of troublemakers and described his job as something between a gangland arbiter and a detention hall monitor. He said he spent all his time trying to keep the students from fighting each other and/or destroying public property, or ducking under his desk. He didn't get any support when he suggested improvements. He was told the situation was hopeless.

Not his fault? Perhaps not his, personally. Let's blame it on a system that kisses union butt and has allowed itself to be bullied and intimidated for decades by a bunch of loudmouths who, judging by their picket signs -- can't correctly spell monosyllabic English words. And their competence is reflected in half-literate students, only about half of them ever graduating from high school. But they do keep the state prisons busy -- perhaps "redistributing" the work of public school teachers to the guards at correctional institutions. After all, Chicago now leads the nation in its murder rate.

But Chicago's the same all over, not just regarding the schools. The Daley Machine -- going way back to the 1950s and '60s -- made Chicago "The City that Works" by buying off the unions. The democrats bought union votes with contracts that included whopping big pensions and all the health insurance they or their families could choke on.

Everyone else is paying for it now. And Chicago doesn't work worth a damn anymore.

The State of Illinois is no better. First of all, Quinn and the other "big fish" in Springfield all come out of Chicago. Mike Royko used to say that without Chicago, Illinois would be Iowa.

Wishful thinking?

So Illinois is carrying almost as much debt as California -- a call to action to Assembly members... who promptly raised taxes, and not just personal income taxes, but taxes on corporations. Apparently hoping to drive out whatever productive commercial organizations remain in Illinois. They had to give Caterpillar, among others, a raftload of tax exemptions to keep that company from straying to North Dakota -- which is much more business-friendly.

Currently, I live about 10 minutes from the Wisconsin border, and since Quinn's tax increases, watched one of the area's largest employers quietly -- and wisely -- move its headquarters and main operating plant into Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin, just north of the boundary line. Likewise, I suspect the better teachers in Illinois will be quietly exploring the opportunities available in Milwaukee, Waukesha, and Lake Geneva. I mean those who are more interested in teaching than in sitting on their butts until they retire, so they can sit on their butts for a few years more.

And by the way, the Illinois tax increases were a perfect example of why raising taxes -- even if only on the rich, who fund US business through investment -- only works to drive business out. No business leads to no jobs, which means no revenues for the greedy piggies in DC.

The classic downward spiral, like dirty water circling the toilet bowl. Exactly like it.

Hope and change

I managed to escape hearing the Comrade's speech tonight so far. However, was assaulted by a couple minutes of Joe Biden. He seems to think that if screams and hollers like an Angry Bird, people will take him seriously.

With all the trouble he has with the English language, it's very hard to take him seriously. At all.

He did mention about continuing all the "hope" and "change" the USA has got going for it right now.

God forbid. I can't go through four more years of this terrible despair, and actual fear -- yes, a heart-gripping cold terror -- that it will never change... back... to what it was before the Comrade took over.

The Comrade is clearly incompetent and/or indifferent. He's sort of a Manchurian Candidate -- a ringer? Programmed by bitterness, envy, and hatred to try to destroy anything he can't control. He's a marxist idealogue, and I don't know how anyone can doubt that at all. Look at his background.

He's destroying America. Four more years of this crap and we'll be worse than Greece.

I think about the "Hope and Change" behind the American Revolution and the Frames of the Constituion in 1789. I think about the City on the Hill, and yes, to be quite hokey, I can't even look at Liberty's torch shining over New York harbor, and all the people who came here in utter desperation, wanting only to "breathe free," without tears.

I think about that, and I can't imagine anyone would try so hard as the Comrade and the merry marxists have to extinguish that hope for all humanity.

Biden is a stupid clown. A useful idiot. But the Comrade? Deluded. Very sadly deluded.

Save the Republic.

What??

That Fluke person (forgot her first name) is right now rerunning through her speech. I'm looking at the clips and reports because I'm quite sure I couldn't tolerate sitting through the whole thing.

At any rate, so Fluke is talking about  a man who was verbally assaulted, etc etc. in some disgraceful attack. I honestly thought she was talking about Mitt Romney at first, then it struck me -- no, that ain't no way possible.

She's quite bitter (over what??), and not a very good speaker. Apparently she can say only two words before taking a breath. From what I saw of her, she's not making much sense. Could be because I couldn't possibly sit through the whole context. (Or wade through it.)

I'm curious though -- is it really "political oppression" for women to pay for their own birth control pills?

I don't know. I find that rather laughable -- or even terribly pathetic, coming from spoiled American princesses who consider a bad hair day "oppressive." Or an inadequate selection of shoes.

When women are being stoned in some parts of the world for going outside alone, or for showing their faces. A part of the world that the Comrade, by the way, seems to favor. What does that say about him? He doesn't seem to want to help. He's all enrapt with the sound of eveing prayers from the minaret.

Oh jeez... Elizabeth Warren on now. You know, I have exactly as much Cherokee blood as she does. I have a grandmother -- or great-grand -- who was full-blooded Cherokee and married a Canadian who'd come over to the US about the middle of the 1800s. We had an old tintype of her in the family album, with the latest generation forever asking, "So who's the Indian?"

Yet it never occurred to me to make an appeal for "privileged" status. Hell, maybe I'll open a casino or something, now that I see I can qualify.

I didn't see any of Clinton's speech, except for a tiny bit in clips, where he was waving his arms around, trying to look like he really means it. I may watch more of it. On the other hand, he's such a jerk, I can't imagine finding value in anything he says.

Clinton, actually, is a terible speaker. He always has been. And apparently he rambled on for an hour or more tonight, putting people to sleep, even his fans.

I'm not one of his fans. I truly believe he's something of a sociopath, and he is definitely a documented liar. I don't know why or how anyone can mistake him for some kind of credible or even remotely respectable person. Apparently dem insiders regard him as "The Big Dog." 'Cause he tries to hump everyone?

And Clinton -- or those around him, including people at Fox -- seem to believe that he fashioned a successful economy. Perhaps they're too young to remember how he actually began to shut down the federal government when presented with balanced budget legislation crafted by the Contract for American people -- led by Newt Gingrich. People were turned away from the national parks because old Big Dog was shutting down all the real esential stuff -- not the White House, unfortunately.

As I recall, they had to drag Clintoin kicking and screaming into rational spending.

I give  him NO credit for that at all. All he did was recognize which way the wind was blowing. Probably what he does best.

Enough.

Save the Republic.

Dems don't understand "growth'

I won't be watching Bill Clinton's speech at the DNC tonight. He'll be on about the same time as "Ghost Hunters" premier of the season, and I'd much rather watch that.

Anyway, it occurs to me that the democracts have absolutely no concept of "growth." Like Michelle  said last night, in mushy maternal tones, that the Comrade has not changed at all over the last four years.

Question: how could you serve as President of the United States for four years and not change at all?

Has he not seen or experienced anything new? Has he learned nothing? Has nothing impressed him -- good, bad or otherwise?

I mean is he such as chunk of stone that absolutely nothing has affected him, moved him, changed him in any way, shape, or form over the last four years? He hasn't changed or grown in the slightest?

If not, he must be as brain-dead has buddy Harry Reid, or the demented Pazzo Pelosi.

Or such a rigid marxist idealogue that he disallows the existence of anything else. Such focused tunnel vision that he allows himself only a glancing contact with reality.

I think that's very dangerous in a president. Because nothing stays the same. Everything is changing all the tine. And if you can't deal with that, you don't belong in any position of authority.

Democrats also don't understand economic growth. They just don't get it. It's like that old Lay's snacks commercial that Jay Leno did years and years ago. Go ahead, eat 'em up, he said, "We'll just make more."

This is an idea that democrats are entirely unfamiliar with. They just don't get it. They're socialists. You don't get growth with socialism, so they think it either doesn't exist, or it's so disruptive and inspiring to the general population that it would make them ambitiout and unmanageable.

But, democrats are fairly stupid and ignorant anyway, so this is a minor point.

Hypocrisy on steroids

Michelle Obama is on TV right now pretending to be an honest person. Frankly, I've never seen such hypocrisy. I didn't think I could stomach a complete string of slobbering drivel from hjer -- the full 20 minutes or so -- so I'm only getting the part about the tough times she and the Comrade had gaming the system, pulling all kinds of political strings -- like those attached to the Jarret family, Rezko, and other Chicago pol-thugs, and lying outrightly about their origins to get themselves through college in order to land -- with little to no work experience -- six-figure jobs and all the graft and shakedowns you can grab.

Yeah. They "struggled." Her with her $600.00 -- and quite remarkably ugly -- gym shoes. Of all the First Ladies, she has about the worst taste in fashion I've ever seen.

I'm sorry, my stomach is turning.

I don't know how this individual can stand up in front of thousands of people there, and a TV audience of millions -- and tell such bare-ass lies. Unless she believes. Like the Boston Strangler's wife, who apparently never quite figured what her husband was doing in his spare time. Deep denial. That's about the kindest thing I can say.She's either stupid, deluded, or flat out lying.

I mean, who the hell does she think she's talking to? We're living this nightmare. It's not abstract or sugar-coated when you can't drive yourself to work due to the cost of gasoline. While Comrade Butthead sluffs off a sweetheart energy deal with Canada so as to not offend the blockheads at the Sierra Club.

If you take any of this crap seriously, you probably deserve four more years of this bullshit.

She says she never begrudeged anyone's success? That's Whopper of the Night. Or maybe she means we don't begrudge success, we just require that you fork it over to us. Or go to jail.

Perhaps Michelle's efforts would be more productive if she spent her time seeking out some small, forgotten nation of ignorant savages (maybe Manhattan?) and set up herself and the F'g Comrade as total dictators. And take this crowd with him. They can worship freely at his feet and not offend the commonsensical.

This is absoltuely disgusting. And a friend just emailed me that the delegation -- the audience -- looks like the bar scene from Star Wars. Yeah, right on.

Save the Republic.

Dems out of excuses, out of time

Saw David Axelrod, who's some kind iof official in the Comraee's re-election campaign as well as being a career political hack in Chicago, on Fox News Sunday. Kind of intetesting. I was trying to get a hint about what the dems might do at their convention this week, and Axelrod didn't offer any surprises. A brief list of the highlights we can expect:
  • It's still Bush's fault.
  • The economy would have been worse without the stimulua
  • 4.5 million jobs have been created since the Comrade took office
  • The Republicans won't tax the rich
  • Taxing the rich is key to economic well-being
  • Romney-Ryan have no detailed economic plan
  • Romeny refuses to release all the tax returns he's filed since his birth
  • The Republicans want to throw Granny over a cliff
  • The Republicans want your adult kids to pay for their own health insurance
  • If the US spends more money on education, there will be more jobs
  • The Republican platform is anti-abortion
  • The Comrade has been so successful, we can't change course now
  • Romney-Ryan will adopt Bush's policies and we'll have another economic crash
  • Republicans hate immigrants and minorities
  • After causing middle class incomes to drop an average of $4,000.00 per annum at the same time fuel and food prices are rising, the dems promise to work their magic to make the remaining income disappear. They call this "building out" the middle class. Which I find a very odd term. As in "building them out" of existence? "Building them out of self-sustenance?" "Building them out of a positive future?"
Additonally, apparently the dems have scheduled myriad unhappy women to take the podium and whine about things like having to pay for their own birth control.

I'm really looking forward to tuning in for all the bitching and moaning. To sound a bit myogynistic, which I suppose is OK, since I'm a woman -- like the way it's poltically OK for black people to call each other the n-word -- I think the dem convention is going to look like a support group for PMS victims. And PMS or not, "victims" for sure.

See, under the "progressive" "philosophy," no member of any social demographic can do anything wrong, except white men, Republican women, and conservatives blacks. Anyone who is not a member of these enumerated groups is likely to be victimized by these groups in one way or another, and they therefore qualify for "privileged status." As in, "All are created equal, but some are more equal than others." (I believe that's from Animal Farm.)

I'm sure all of these victims will be given a voice at the dem convention, if not in person, then as represented by dementia victm Nancy "Pazzo" Pelosi. She'll speak very slowly and carefully, since dem voters are halfwits who don't understand multisyllabic words, wave her hands around in that bizarre karate-chop mannerism she has, and assure us all that although she's one of the richest people in congress, she isn't among the "fat cats" she so reviles. Perhaps she should be accompanied by a couple of OWies, whom she understands so well and who share her life-view. Of course, they'd have to be on leashes. That might be unseemly.

What you shouldn't expect from the dem convention is promises of any hope or change. Absolutely nobody believes in that one anymore. The phrase only emphasizes the Comrad's stunning failure.

So if you've enjoyed the last four years, seeing your income and career prospects diminish, any oppiortunity for your children's success in life evaporate in the debt-to-China, and have come to enjoy Kraft's Macaroni & Cheese -- the original kind, available on sale for $1.00 a box -- then you're probably among those who will be glued to the TV during the dem convention. And you'll vote again for the Comrade, making his vision of insoluble poverty, despair, and bitter cynicism a genuine reality.

Or you could vote Republican and Save the Republic.
