And Morsi is called a dictator?

The Comrade sent Secretary of the Treasury Tim Geithner over to congress yesterday to negotiate a solution for the looming fiscal crisis.

On behalf of the White House, Geithner suggested tax increases to raise about $600 billion, a second stimulus package, and -- get this -- that congress should relinquish its authority to set a limit on federal borrowing.

In other words, the Comrade wants to raise taxes, throw billions more down some rat hole (probably one affiliated with political thugs from Chicago), and wants to borrow and spend as much money as he wants with no control, no accountability.

For one thing, congress can't relinquish its control of budgeting and spending without a Constitutional amendment.

AND THE VERY FACT THAT THIS ADMINISTRATION WOULD SUGGEST SUCH A THING PROBABLY MAKES IT LIABLE FOR IMPEACHMENT.

Anyway, I'm struck by a peculiar contrast. In Egypt, they elected a wannabe dictator in Morsi. So when Morsi came right out and issued diktats right and left seizing totalitarian powers, hundreds of thousands of Eggyptian poured into the public squares again in protest.

In the USA, we elected a wannabe dictator in the Comrade. So when the Comrade tries to seize totalilitarian control, we get a bunch of disgraceful assholes (Jamie Fox among them) painting him as a saint and a hero.

What's wrong with this picture?

I'm afraid America is doomed.

Debt crisis not a game

At the end of summer I found a little kitten. Actually, he was outside crying, and I thought the noise was kids playing. I finally looked outside to check, and found him stuck on top of a low wooden frame around a pipe that comes out from my neighbor's house. Like the kitten was trying to climb over it, but got stuck on top. His eyes weren't even open yet. Though it was a warm day, he was in the shade and was shivering uncontrollably. I picked him up and laid him in a sunny spot to warm up. Kept petting him a little to assure him he wasn't alone.

His mom came back a couple days later. She might have been out hunting for food, or maybe at the local bar trying to hook up. Who knows? Anyway, the kitten would have been dead by then, and he's my kitty now.

We'll gloss over the fun we had trying to feed him. Couldn't find a baby bottle small enough, so for a couple weeks, the kitty looked like he'd been dipped in formula and left to dry, which was pretty much the case. But he didn't starve. He's developed a real passion for cheese popcorn. Go figure.

Now he's about three months old and thriving. He loves to play, One of his favorite things is leaping up, hooking his claws into my knees, and climbing up. You tickle him, and he grabs your hand with his claws and starts gnawing on your fingers. He's playing, of course. But reflex action in response to a couple dozen kitty teeth sinking in your arm, you shove him away. And he charges back, even more determined to draw blood. He's a kitty. He's playing. He thinks it's a game.

The Comrade has precisely the same attitude toward the USA's $16 TRILLION debt and $1.2 TRILLION (or more) yearly deficit spending.

He sinks his tax-biting teeth into your income. You shove him away. He comes back, even more determined to draw blood.

No, really, Comrade. I'm serious. I'm not playing. You're killing me. You're destroying the country.

Really. This isn't a game.

But, of course, the blockhead in the White House is essentially too steeped in marxist cliches and platitudes to see reality.

He charges back, determined to draw even more blood. Lay waste to private enterprise. If some people have more money than others, "OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!" Taxing the rich doesn't help the economy at all; in fact, it damages the economy. But the Comrade doesn't care. He's playing a game.

Just like a relatively brainless infant animal. I can forgive the animal. Human beings have the capacity to know better. 

So what next? When my kitty gets too rambunctious -- and believe me, I've got bites and scratches up to the elbows to illustrate my tolerance -- finally I have to lock him in the spare bathroom. If he doesn't mellow out soon, I'll probably have to take him to animal control, and they'll probably put him to sleep if no one adopts him.

I have no idea what might happen to the shit-for-brains in the White House. But more and more every day, I'm convinced -- give the idiot what he wants. Watch it all collapse. And then see if even the unions still love him.

The end of enlightenment

What can I say?

Israel is being attacked, has been under rocket fire from the Gaza Strip all year. The number I heard was that almost 1,200 rockets have been fired into southern Israel this year.And thanks to technology donated to Hamas (muslim terrorist organizaton) by Iran, the rockets launched in Gaza can now reach Tel Aviv and even Jerusalem.

Israel is fighting back, firing its own rockets into Gaza. With a truly amazing, pinpoint accuracy, they killed the head of Hamas's attack group with an air-launched missile while that sorry dude was driving along the smelly, shitty streets of an overcrowded, destitute Gaza, that lives on foreign aid, makes a living by whining like a bunch of spoiled babies.

Israal also has tanks and infantry lined up on the border with Gaza, ready to march in for a land war.

The Comrade condemns the muslim terrorists, then goes to Myanmar for a quick holiday. Apparently he has to go that far anymore to find people who still think he's some kind of deity.

God, how I despise that person. Or whatever you want to call it.

Anyway, the muslim terrorists have put out dozens of news releases about how this situation in the Middle East is all Israel's fault... for not lying down and inviting more rocket assaults?

What a bunch of f**ing murderers and thugs.

And where is the US press? Wringing their hands and whining about the poor, suffering terrorist.

I don't know... what the hell, exactly, are they suffering from? Except their own damn stupidity and refusal to grow up? Their religion binds them to irrelevant and even self-destructive traditions. And then they whine about it, and expect the rest of the world to support them. They are truly twisted and useless, and a genuine danger to human civilization.

I'm glad I'm nearly dead.

Hard to write in here anymore,.

I don't have any hope for much anymore.

The History Channel ran shows on Caligula all day yesterday.... Yeah, I know. The similarites are not good. Corruption. No sense of honor or decency. Lies. Deception. Intrigue. Cowardice. Self-aggrandizement. Empty shell with not much inside.

Exactly who voted for this son of a bitch, and why?

Mourn the Republic.

Kerry to head defense?

One miore thing and this is all for today.

"Swift -Boat" John Kerry as Secretary of Defense?

I can't even think about that.

I really believe in his second term, among the several items on his agenda, the Comrade will go full-bore as discrediting and destroying the US military. It's already started.

Are they trying to make a bloody revolution?

Or just put the USA in a position where it can't fight back, any enemy, foreign or domestic.

Usual "Sgt. Schultz Defense" from Washington

From White House Secretary Jay Carneybarker, who's still spewing b.s.

"The President new nothing about this at the time... " in reference to the circus at the CIA.

"He's focusing right now on working with congress in providing jobs... " I'm laughing so hard I have coffee shooting out my nose.

Susan Rice is being considered as a replacement for Hillary at the State Dept. Apparently it's Rice's  reward for lying through her teeth about Benghazi and remaining cheerful through all the public insults and abuse she took for it. And it's just as obvious that she's not vrey bright, for all her blind adoration of the Comrade and belief in his Utopia.

THIS ADMINISTRATION IS NOTHING BUT LIES, DECEPTION, INCOMPETENCE.

Additonally, as people look more closely at the returns from the Nov. 6 election, it becomes quite obvious that the Comrade won only through massive vote fraud.

I'm quite sure those machines were fixed.

Sgt. Schultz in TV show "Hogan's Heroes" was famous for the line, "I know notink! I see notink!" Maybe the Comrade should nominate him to replace Hillary.

But believe what you want to believe.

That's all.

White House, AKA Animal House

As the so-called "Petraeus Affair" unfolds, the White House and all of its adherents, sycophants, and general hangers-on is beginning to look like a sloppy version of Animal House.

Little boys having affairs, lying about it, helping each other lie about significant national defense issues, possibly extorting each other to lie -- and so on. The key thing seemed to be, "Don't let the Republicans know."

That also meant, apparently, "Don't let Congress know." Senator Diane Feinstein, California, and head of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said she didn't know anything about it until Petraeus resigned, and somehow she's the only person remotely involved in this whole matter who seems even remotely credible. And the fact that Feinstein didn't know anything about this may be a felonious omission on the part of the FBI.

OMG, Eric Holder again... FBI is under his lackadaisical misdirection. Think he'll let anything leak? He's probably already shredded the documents. And Hillary Clinton, who heads up the State Department, apparently intends to remain overseas until the Comrade is impeached, though she won't help with the effort.

OK. So Petraus had an affair with an ambitious -- or "am-bitch-ous?" -- grad student, Paula Broadwell. She managed to get hold of his email password and apparently had access to highly sensitive documents. That she mentioned casually in a talk to students in Denver.

Couldn't find a better informed or more interested audience? And the real question, what else does she know? Perhaps she misplaced Ambassador Chris Stephens' pleas for help while engaged in a mischievous game of keep-away with the CIA director. Or someone.

Apparently Mrs. Broadwell (yeah, she's also married, I understand) became aware that Petraeus exchanged conversaton with another woman -- "a friend of the family," Jill Kelley, who is herelf happily married and also a friend to Petraeus' wife. Broadwell became enraged, or went ballistic for some reason -- like something out of Fatal Attraction -- and started sending threats to Mrs. Kelley. Mrs. Broadwell appears to be a bit neurotic.

Mrs. Kelley called the FBI about it. And the FBI investigated.

We can only wonder about the nature of the threats if Mrs. Kelley felt compelled to contact the FBI. Did Mrs. Broadwell promise to blow up the Statue of Liberty or something? We can only guess.

And the most recent revelation is that the FBI agent Mrs. Kelley spoke to had been sending her photos of himself -- bare-chested. Never got over the Anthony's Weiner incident? Late-breaking news, he's been taken off the case.

What the hell is going on in Washington?

These people don't seem to have matured beyond the mental age of 14 or so. When are they going to start squirting Jello out of their cheeks at each other? Probably at the congressional hearings next week. Ha ha. What a hoot. I feel so much safer knowing these people are so close to nuclear weapons.

And the fact remains that Ambassador Chris Stevens, Glenn Doughtery, Sean Smith, and Ty Woods are still dead due to some kind of incompetence. Well, make that OBVIOUS incompetence at the top levels of American government.

Everyone preoccupied with "If you show me yours, I'll show you mine"? So much more fun than protecting the nation from attack.

I want my tax money back. I wouldn't pay any of these people to rake my lawn. God only knows what kind of a mess they'd make of that.

In 8th grade I was introduced to the French Revolution, the result of really over-the-top corruption and misconduct of all kinds by the powers-that-be in France at the time. My teacher said one sign of a government ripe for collapse is "intrigues at court." Kinda scary, huh? Nothing from this regime but intrigue, scandal, lies, back-door dealing, corruption, lies, scandal...

By the way, a whole bunch of people in about a dozen states are petitioning for secession.

At least they may provide us with some place to go.

The democrats' new math

If you wantched the democrat convention, you saw "Can't Keep It Zipped" Bill Clinton wagging his long, bony fingers and talking about math.

Apparently the rest of the dems found that so appealing, now they're all talking about math. So helfp me figure out how this works.

You run up $1.2 TRILLION dollar deficits every year, then raise taxes on what they call the "rich." That is, mostly small business owners who aren'tmaking all that much, once you consider expenses. The rate increase raises about 3% of the deficit.

The dems say this will fix the economy.

Or try this one: You spend $1.2 TRILLION dollars a year more than you take in. So that's a negative number.

Then you spend another trillion or so. And that's supposed to equalize the debt.

Huh?

And why Bill Clinton? I never understood his appeal. When he in the White House, he used to run -- or pretend to. Saw a picture of him once in short-shorts, and he looked not unlike a beached whale. I could never fathom what Monica Lewinski saw in him. He's just a lump, and with uncontrolled appetites. No wonder Hillary doesn't pay enough attention to him. How'd you like to wake up to that every morning?

And he can't do math.

Enough for now.

I'd do the usual "Save the Republic." But the Republic is lost.

And, hey kids, you voted for this jerk. You live with it now.

post-election

The worst thought about this election -- people voted for this slimy slug.

In Amerika?

The Republic is lost.

RIP USA

“In the end, more than freedom, they wanted security. They wanted a comfortable life, and they lost it all – security, comfort, and freedom. When the Athenians finally wanted not to give to society but for society to give to them, when the freedom they wished for most was freedom from responsibility, then Athens ceased to be free and was never free again.”
― Edward Gibbon

Nov. 6 - I voted!

Well, I did what I could.

On the way out of the parking lot, music got involved. See below. To the tune of "Maria" from West Side Story.

I voted.
I went to the polls and I voted.
I exercised my right
To pick a president
I like.

I voted.

I went to the polls and I voted.
The choice was clear to me
I voted for Paul Ryan
And Mitt Romney.

Elections –

Though often rigged, they’re still an expression
Of the rights we can claim as free citizens.

I voted. I’ll never stop voting.

I voted!

 

Sorry to be so silly, but I suspect the Comrade is on his way out. Fingers crossed.

Save the Republic.

Election Day 2012

Finally. I've been waiting four years for this day!

I think the Comrade understands he's doomed. He can't expect to ruin 300 million lives and people will continue to love him. Not unless they suffer from some kind of Stockholm Syndrome or harbor some kind masochism.

So, with all due respect... Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Save the Republic.

The last best hope of earth

150 years ago, the United States faced a different, but no less serious crisis than it's facing right now. At the time, exactly like now, the primary question was: What direction will the US take in the future?

1860s, the issue was slavery vs. freedom for all. And it is again. Working for the state is a form of slavery -- involuntary servitude. So three days before the 2012 Presidential Election, I offer this from history -- an excerpt from a State of the Union Address from Abe Lincoln. Read it carefully. It still applies directly.

Is it doubted, then, that the plan I propose, if adopted, would shorten the war, and thus lessen its expenditure of money and of blood? Is it doubted that it would restore the national authority and national prosperity, and perpetuate both indefinitely? Is it doubted that we here--Congress and Executive--can secure its adoption? Will not the good people respond to a united, and earnest appeal from us? Can we, can they, by any other means, so certainly, or so speedily, assure these vital objects? We can succeed only by concert. It is not "can any of us imagine better?" but, "can we all do better?" The dogmas of the quiet past, are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise -- with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew, and act anew. We must disenthrall ourselves, and then we shall save our country. 

Fellow-citizens, we cannot escape history. We of this Congress and this administration, will be remembered in spite of ourselves. No personal significance, or insignificance, can spare one or another of us. The fiery trial through which we pass, will light us down, in honor or dishonor, to the latest generation. We say we are for the Union. The world will not forget that we say this. We know how to save the Union. The world knows we do know how to save it. We -- even we here -- hold the power, and bear the responsibility. In giving freedom to the slave, we assure freedom to the free -- honorable alike in what we give, and what we preserve. We shall nobly save, or meanly lose, the last best hope of earth. Other means may succeed; this could not fail. The way is plain, peaceful, generous, just -- a way which, if followed, the world will forever applaud, and God must forever bless.

Think about this, and then go vote.

Save the Repbulic.

President exploiting Hurricane Sandy?

Truly, my heart goes out to those literally millios of people affected by Hurricane Sandy. Very bizarre storm.

Al Gore's been out claiming it's related to Global Warming or Climate Change or whatever they're calling it now. But look at it this way -- we've had the EPA for decades now. The US and much of Europe has been working to hinder Climate Change (or wharever.) And all that's resulted so far is the storms seem to be getting worse and more catastrophic -- maybe.

There have been plenty of horrendous storms in the past. And people just figured, "Oh well, that's the way it goes," not having a political agenda attached to it. Since the political agenda has been attached, somehow people like Gore believe we can "fix" the weather with legislation.

I'm not convinced. And if yuou care about empirical results, without looking too hard, the EPA, et. al., apparently is driving these massive storms. Cause and effect, no? Using the same sloppy and simple-minded reasoning of the tree-huggers. I mean, no Katrina or Sandy before the EPA, but now, every year. No?

Speaking about weather-relted political agendas, as mentioned before, the Comrade has been out and about in New Jersey with Governor Chris Christie, a Republican, letting storm victims cry on their shoulders and promising rainbows to come. Mayor Bloomberg, New York City, refused a presidential visit -- traffic is impossible as it is.

At any rate, so the Comrade has been all over the Jersey Shore, making political hay. And this may be the first time he actually showed up anywhere near where the action is.

He's almost making much of his "cooperating" with a Republican.

Never mind that New Jersey is about at democrat as it gets. Christie was only elected there because the dems screwed up the sate big time and they needed to bring a Republican in to ensure survival.

Anyway, so the Comrade is demonstrating -- and his campaign is touting -- how well he plays with others -- that is, Republicans.

At the butt-end of his administration he figures out the value of "cooperation." Whatever happened to his high-handed "my way or the highway"attitude that he's so damn famouis for blaming on Republicans? Does Harry Reid know about the shift in policy? May be time to loose the strings on that big bundle of bipartisan legislation that's piled up from the House over the last two years.

The Comrade is just doing what any president would do -- and that's a real shocker there. But perhaps it's getting too cold to play golf?

You can fool some of the people some of the time; you can fool all of the people some of the time; but you can't fool all the people all the time. That's from Abe Lincoln, and the Comrade might do well to ponder on that during the flight home from the White House in January. Not that that would stop him, though.

Save the Republic.
