Still standing...

Well, John Boehner is supposed to speak to the press in a few minutes, but I had a couple things to add to what I wrote last night.

Mainly, I forgot Michelle Bachman on my list of those to whom we owe a debt of gratitude.

Remember Michelle at some committee hearing or another standing up and asking, "Where in the Constitution is the basis for that?"

And the dems looking at each other going, "Consti-what?" Checking their agendas, trying to figure out exactly what it all meant.

And what about Sarah Palin, who no longer holds elective office, but who took an awful lot of heat for being attractive, articulate, competent, and a conservative.

Also just found out that one of the so-called riders in the 2011 budget bill -- or maybe the one-week extension? -- restricts the EPA.

The EPA currently believes it has the authority to go door-to-door throughout the USA and measure cow farts, and probably human farts as well (can't think of a more appropriate task for them) and impose whatever kind of "tax" -- called a "penalty" -- they want. They'll be showing up at your front door -- no doubt wiht a warrant, if necessary -- to check all your light bulbs. All in the name of global warming. Mind you, this same idea -- crap-n-tax -- was put before congress and even the dems didn't pass it, so the EPA is moving on its own.

The EPA is like having a serial killer on the loose. At the very least, all those people should be kept on very tight leashes, if not kennelled. Hmmm, Guantanamo comes to mind....

Well, Boehner was just on TV for about 10 seconds and said nothing.

Nero Reid is in front of the senate right now, telling the nation how he wouldn't pay to take his wife and daughter to the doctor for cancer screening and blood pressure exams. He would expect the federal government to assume that responsibility for him.

I say he's a terrible husband and father, and not typical. Or more likely, just completely senile.

Enough for now.

Save the Republic. If that means shutting down the government, I'm behind you.

Thank you Boehner, Cantor, Ryan, et. al.

Don't know if the feds are going to shut down or not tomorrow, but I do want to extend my sincerest gratitude to Speaker John Boehner, Eric Cantor, Kevin McCarthy, Paul Ryan -- and those lonely Republicans in the Senate -- thank you for standing our ground. Thank you for sticking up for the American people. We needed you and you came through for us, just by not folding under the silly sappy melodrama perpetrated by Pazzo Pelosi, Nero Reid, and others -- including the Comrade.

Last year, one of the hardest things I -- and I'm sure many in the Tea Party and other just ordinary citizens never involved much in politics -- last year we all sat here and watched Pazzo Pelosi, Nero Reid, The Fudd + Dudd duo, poltical whore Mary Landrieu, addle-brained Ben Nelson from Nebraska and others, and even the Twit Sisters from Maine, selling out the USA. For what? For the impossible promise of "free health care." No.No. No such thing as a free lunch. Rather, if that bill stands (which ain't likely) we'll end up with poor quality care, years-long waiting lists to see a physician, and a tax burden that destroys all hope.

And the worst part, the very worst part, was sitting in the living room and watching it on TV, with no way to stop it. Remember Arlen Specter's Town Hall with Sebelius or whatever the hell her name is, the nanny state's chief nanny? Remember -- those buttheads from DC telling us what they're going to do for us -- and completely deaf to the public will? People shouting themselves hoarse, and these complete blockheads just going on their merry way and God damn the public.

How many of those jerks are still in office, by the way?

How about Pete Stark? There's a piece of work. He's very upfront telling his constituents that they're a bunch of stupid idiots who require his superior guidance. He makes me retch, actually.

What I remember absolutely the most was a Town Hall put on by Grassley in Iowa. Some guy in the crowd, just an ordinary citizen, stood up and said, "You're supposed to be protecting our rights!" And Grassley, actually, has been pretty good about that.

Saw a video on YouTube with Paul Ryan and some creep called Becerra at the Blair House talks on the socialized medicine bill. The Comrade playing mediator there, putting on his "I am the president" show. Becerra starts some rap about representing the American people, and Paul Ryan says, "We were all sent here to represent the American people."

Just in case the blockhead, power-mad dems forgot -- and by accounts, they did. Completely. "We'll just bribe that whore from Louisiana, Mary Landrieu, and Nelson with a skull full of manure, and we'll shove through this piece of shit."

Meanwhile, lunatic twinkle-toes Pazzo Pelosi positively orgiastic about passing a major piece of legislation without reading it.

And nothing we could do about it.

So, thank you, Speaker Boehner and everyone else who grew a set and who are refusing to let this nation be streamrolled by a bunch of silly punks with hitlerian pretensions -- that is the demented Nero Reid, weiner Weiner, and even Debbie (bet she spells that "Debi" with a little heart for a dot over the i) Wasserman-whatever, who are propagating lies about the elderly eating dog food and all that.

You know what? The USA was alive and well -- much better off than it is now -- when there was no Social Security or Medicare.

In short, you stupid liberals, we don't need your sorry asses. And in fact, we're much better off without you. You are useless pretenders and opportunists and a disgrace on this nation.

But thank you, Speaker Boehner, Paul Ryan, Eric Cantor, and others who haven't forgotten what America is supposed to be about.

Save the Republic.

Comrade's nose is gonna grow

The Comrade gave me a good laugh. He's still on TV talking. He started his talk with, "Since I've been in office, we've been looking for ways to reduce federal spending."

My face hurts, laughing so hard. I almost couldn't pick myself up off the floor. I mean, you got to admit, that's a real whopper.

He's such a bald-faced liar, it's amazing. But I guess all he does is read the teleprompter. He's not responsible for anything he says. Maybe the script was left over from the Bush Administration. Maybe the Tea Party nefariously snuck in the lies and misrepresentation. Whaddaya think?

He talks now about all these chats he's having with Boehner and congress over the budget. Yeah, he's so willing to talk, so open to cooperation.

Where the hell he was when he last year when his henchmen, Pelosi and Reid should have passed a 2011 budget? Was he talking to anyone but them? The Republicans NEVER heard from him. Not a peep. Was the Comrade doing anything then but suggesting new ways to bribe congressmen to shove through this bullshit socialized medicine bill? And did these marxist blockheads do anything about a 2011 budget? No. Too busy applauding their success at wrecking the nation, waving around giant hammers, pretending they'd been spit at and cussed -- such noble, noble victims. What a huge load of crap.

And where the hell was the Comrade, when it really mattered?

Bowing to the Saudi king? Rabble rousing in Egypt? Insulting Queen Elizabeth? Displaying false humility to the King of Sweden? Basking in the specious glory of being the Golden Boy to save the earth?

However, the American people took care of it all in the November election -- throwing out the sorry asses of the suck-ups and pandering sycophants who voted for the Big Marxist Dream.

So now Comrade Butthead comes on TV, hat in hand, begging for "an adult conversation." But let's face it, he's not capable of an adult conversation. Far as I know, that's not part of the communist dogma. He'd be more at home waving a hammer-n-sickle banner and beating a little tom-tom, in between designating his Astro-Turf SEIU in red shirts this time to try to destroy at least one state government... for starters.

Comrade, I'm afraid your reputation is already made. We know you're a liar of monumental proportions. We know you're a marxist socialist. Too bad they don't have a Nobel Prize for that. How about an Ignoble Prize? He'd win every time.

Too late now, suckah, to make excuses and pretend you give a damn. We've seen the other side of your lying face.

And I'd rather the government shut down than this phony clown gets funding for any of his bribes-for-votes schemes.

Save the Republic.

Dems name new scapegoat

Interesting news day so far.

Apparently the Comrade has announced plans to run again, and he's got a huge war chest. After freeing the unions from any obligation to fund their members' health care and other benefits (see the earlier blog, below), now all the union dues can be funneled into the swampy mire of the Comrade's campaign fund. I mean, what else does Trumpka have to do with his members' money?

Think about that, you decent, honorable union members who haven't been tainted by the poison they swill  up from the trough of federal bribery. If any of you remain.

Then Eric Holder, who is without doubt the most incompetent and addle-brained Attorney General I've ever seen in my lifetime, gets on TV and says the 9/11 terrorists are going to be tried by military tribunal.

After two years of threatening to try them in civil courts -- against the apparent will of the survivors and their families.

And guess what? Holder blames congress for this.

Sorry, give me a moment, I have coffee shooting out my nose.

So I guess that will be the campaign mantra. George W is long gone. So instead of campaigning about any kind of policy -- SINCE NO U.S. CITIZEN LIKES THE COMRADE'S POLICIES SO FAR -- they've got to find someone to blame for the freaking mess these marxists have made of the nation.

It's all the fault of the Tea Party, doncha know?

It's not like the Comrade has seen his marxist bullshit fail and has no place else to turn to try to make any decision that would solve any kind of problem. He's tapped out. Das Kapital never did address the inevitable fact of its own failure. So the Comrade is at a total loss.

All he can do is blame the people who oppose him. Though, as I recall (with horror, I might add) the Comrade owned the White House and both houses of congress for two years -- and did all they could to beat us all down, steal our rights and our private property.

Yet somehow we Americans just bounced right back, bloody but unbowed.

Hey, Comrade -- WE THE PEOPLE ARE THE TEA PARTY. Go ahead, continue to insult us. See if that works for you this time around.

And We, the People, are going to take back the White House. I promise you.

Save the Republic.

Socialized medicine already bailing out unions, municipalities

This is from:  FACT SHEET: The Affordable Care Act’s Early Retiree Reinsurance Program
The Early Retiree Reinsurance Program will provide much-needed financial relief for employers so retirees can get quality, affordable insurance starting this year.

Quality, Affordable Care for Early Retirees
The percentage of large firms providing workers with retiree coverage has dropped from 66 percent in 1988 to 31 percent in 2008.

The Affordable Care Act provides $5 billion in financial assistance to employers to help them maintain coverage for early retirees age 55 and older who are not yet eligible for Medicare.

Employers can use the savings to either reduce their own health care costs, provide premium relief to their workers and families or a combination of both.
Funny, as I'm writing this, Stuart Varney just came on Fox to talk about it. He says that, to date, the UAW (United Auto Workers) has been the largest recipient of money from this bill. Jeez, they only make about $50.00 an hour, with "cadillac" benefits that cost so much they bankrupted GM and Dodge/Chrysler. Yeah, they need the help.

I'm so glad I get to work my tired old butt to the bone so these blockheads can take an early retirement. And I can't afford insurance. All of the money I could use to buy insurance (and/or save for retirement) goes to the feds to buy votes for the Comrade and his marxist cronies.

Don't believe me? Think I'm just a pigheaded "extremist" whining and propagandizing? Check out this government web site that lists all recipients of these goodies, state by state. A few very large corporations, many, many unions, and many, many "City of...," "County of..." "Village of..."

So I guess this bullshit is one of the things the Wisconsin legislature -- and Ohio, among others -- is trying to combat. As well as being a sugar-tit the unions don't want to give up. Hey, keep beating those tom-toms, you blood-sucking parasites.

Wanna see who's sucking up the funds in your state? The feds have provided us a list at:

http://www.healthcare.gov/news/factsheets/early_retiree_reinsurance_program.html

So these jerks are collecting benefits -- and racking up costs -- before anyone else sees anything but higher insurance premiums and taxes from this bullshit legislation.

Yes, Reid, Pelosi, Schumer, and all you merry marxists, by all means, lets pay off your union supporters to guarantee that SOMEBODY will vote for you in 2012. Too bad the dems can only attract voters by buying them off. It's a significant indication of just  how evil the dems are, how destructive they are. How corrupt.

And they stick non-union taxpayers with the bill.

You like this arrangement? I'd say "write your congressman," but in Illinois, for one state, that's a total joke.

Save the Republic.

Maybe US has a future after all

Watched "Fox News Sunday" to see Paul Ryan talking about his long-term budget. An added bonus was seeing Marco Rubio, senator from Florida.

I love these two guys. They make we want to live longer, knowing that they'll keep America free and a good place for human beings.

Had to laugh a little at moderator Chris Wallace. Paul Ryan told him his proposed budget would cut more than $4 TRILLION in federal spending over 10 years, because it includes a restructuring of Medicare/Medicaid and probably of Social Security, though they didn't talk about that. Anyway, Chris Wallace looked genuinely surprised. Nicely surprised. And I expected Paul Ryan, with his unquenchable optimism, to say something like, "Cool, huh?" Paul Ryan, even while he was speaking about budget caps, kept giving Chris Wallace this reassuring little smile, like, "Honestly. It's all true."

But my favorite part was when Chris Wallace asked if the dems were going to "demagog" the issue and try to use it against the Republicans in next year's election, Paul Ryan said he was sure they would. However, he doesn't care, because he's doing what he believes will work to save the nation. He said it's not a choice between going on as we are or changing -- because the USA cannot go on as it is. That simple.

Then came Marco Rubio, who's cut from similar cloth as Paul Ryan. Marco Rubio already looks like he could be president. He has that gravitas. And he's not going to support increasing the spending limit unless he can get big budget cuts from the dems. He's also not too crazy about the idea of supporting Libyan rebels until we know who they are and what their plans are.

Marco Rubio also has a really great smile and no plans to run in 2012. Thank heavens, because he -- like Paul Ryan -- could use a little more experience before going for the something like the presidency. And they are not in it for the power and glory. They're trying to make a real difference, trying to make the world a better place. Honestly.

In fact, both of these guys are so good-natured, so straightforward and self-assured, so REASONABLE.... I begin to see light at the end of this dark tunnel of "social justice" and "redistribution of wealth."

See, I'm not hard to please. Give me two good-looking guys who have some common sense and a commitment to human freedom and happiness. Is that too much to ask?

And compare and contrast these guys to people like Chucklehead Schumer and Nero Reed.

Good grief, do we have to?

I mean, Chucklehead and Nero are so feebly adamant about seeing the USA sink into a mire of "we were only trying to help," suffocating debt, and what Monroe, I believe, would call "foreign intrigues and entanglements." Chucklehead and Nero have both been w-a-a-a-y too long in Washington. They've lost any sense of perspective, any linkage to the real world. After all, it's not their money they're spending. It's no skin off their butts.All they care about, apparently, are the privileges that go with office. All they have to do is make a dozen more promises to a few more "special interest groups" to buy a few more votes. They don't care what they do to us or to the nation, as long as they get to strut around and make speeches. They're short-sighted blockheads with no sense of principle, no ethics.They don't care about the USA, except as a bully pulpit for their little (little??) hobbyhorses.

But, anyway, now with Paul Ryan and Marco Rubio -- among others, but these two stand out -- I'm beginning to believe that America might have a future after all.

Maybe I'll quit smoking so I can live to see it.

Save the Republic.

57% support government shut-down

A recent Rasmussen poll indicates that 57% of respondents would be OK with a shut-down of the federal government, as long as it included deep cuts in the federal budget.

57% is more people than voted for the Comrade, and way higher than those who continue to approve of his cheerleadership.

Apparently the latest scare tactic the dems are employing goes something like, "O-o-o-o-h, kids, if the federal government shuts down, you won't get your income tax refund check."

Does that mean the IRS will shut down?

Good, then we don't have to freakin' file income tax at all, do we?

These people should look at all sides before they make stupid threats. Usually there's a sunnier side.

Shutting down the feds is bad for the feds. It's Spring Break for you and me. Even the stock market is booming in anticipation.

But wait... the reservation on the shut-down is that it has to be accompanied by PERMANENT cuts in federal spending.

Yippee! So if the feds shut down, only part of it will ever come back.

I think I must have died and gone to heaven.

Save the Republic.
