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.
