Erick Erickson’s post in REDSTATE this morning hits the X ring. His headline (Let’s Party Like It’s 1917) and the description of the DNC’s logo for the 2012 convention as being ‘Soviet chic,’ couldn’t be more accurate.
When the Soviet Union disintegrated in 1991, I had a feeling of, ‘So what? There’ll just be another faction to take its place.’ It’s just that I wasn’t expecting it to be the good ol’ US of A’s Democratic party. I don’t know why not. The Democratic party has been leaning that way for... oooh, some say since about since LBJ (may he rot in hell.) I say for at least the last 60-70 years -- maybe longer. Obimbo came in and double-timed the movement and shook America to the core. For some, it was a ‘Duuh’ moment. For others, it was the classic ‘I’ve-been-trying-to-tell-you-so!’ moment.
With Barack Obama’s class warfare speech yesterday, it seems the President’s 2012 campaign theme will be to party like its 1917. In a speech right out of a European socialist’s playbook, Barack Obama kept referring to basic fairness when demanding job creators pay more in taxes. Consider Obama’s online mouthpiece, Think Progress, rushing to his defense by, in essence, saying Obama’s plan isn’t class warfare because it does not go as far as the Communist Party of Great Britain in 1929.
You actually should read the Think Progress post because actually what the writer claims is “strikingly different from a modern progressive agenda” is actually pretty darn similar, including an income tax to confiscate capital income -- something Obama’s Buffett tax seems to do.
In any event, what Barack Obama nor any other leftist can answer is one simple question -- when the top 1% generate 20% of the income and pay 40% of the taxes in this country, what exactly is their fair share?
But now it gets even worse. Yesterday I told you Obama wants to use General Motors as a distraction from Solyndra. Today it appears he is using Warren Buffett to distract us from raiding banks to line General Motors’ pockets, or at least the government’s because of the GM bailout.
In Barack Obama’s deficit plan, he intends to raid American banks to make up the losses from the auto bailout. There’s just one problem. While hiding behind TARP to justify this raid, with costs that will be passed on to consumers, Obama is punishing the most successful banks putting them in a position to fail. At the same time, the Dodd-Frank bill guarantees no bank is too big to fail, so he is creating another bank bailout situation.
Basically, the President wants to raise fees on banks with more than $50 billion in assets, i.e. the most successful banks. The weak banks that benefited the most from TARP will not actually be the ones to cover the auto bailout’s losses. The rich banks that needed the least help will shell out to cover the auto bailout and then find themselves among the ranks of weak banks.
It’s not just individual wealth redistribution the President is championing here. He’s picking winners and losers in the free market and ensuring that some of the winners he does not like are forced to become losers. It’s corporate wealth redistribution to corporations the President picks.
Considering both the inflation the American people are experiencing and the taxation Barack Obama wants to impose, you’d be forgiven for thinking he said “The way to crush the bourgeoisie is to grind them between the millstones of taxation and inflation.” Of course, that was Vladimir Lenin. Too inflammatory for you? Just go back to Think Progress and consider, in their claims that Obama’s position is too mild to be considered class warfare, just how similar Barack Obama’s new tax schemes are to the Communist Party of Great Britain in 1929 -- complete with a “graduated income tax to confiscate capital income”, i.e. a necessary component of any surtax on millionaires just for the sake of taxing millionaires.
Actually, I think Obimbo may be the Socialists/Marxists/Democrats own worst enemy. The Democrats were doing pretty good while the rest of us were too busy WORKING and trying to make a living. We were ‘asleep.’ Obimbo, by fast-forwarding everything, opened our eyes to what was really going on and stirred the sleeping giant. At least, I HOPE the rest of us are the sleeping giant.
Like I said, Erickson’s post hits the X ring. Speaking of X rings and targets, that’s exactly what I’ve found the Demonics logo useful for... target practice. Thanks, Demonics! I knew that if you REALLY put your mind to it, you could come up with SOMETHING useful.
On another note, I had a post (My Ambition While Obimbo Is...WHATEVER he is) about how your liberal ‘friends’ can rat you out on Obimbo’s very own AttackWatch new Web site (may God help you, if you do have liberal ‘friends’ -- and, then, I gotta ask you...“WHY?!”) I have to give credit to FORGER - Racist TEAhadi for putting me on to this ‘cause Hitler REALLY puts Obimbo’s AttackWatch where it belongs... IN THE TRASH!
... WHATEVER he is, is to make his newly launched web site... ATTACK WATCH.
Attack Watch is Obimbo’s answer to the Nixon era of the 'enemies list.' Yep, it’s a site designed to ‘fight the smears’ against the ‘president’ (you don’t know HOW HARD IT IS for me to use the term, ‘president.’)
Attack Watch was first brought to my attention by, none other than, FORGER - Racist TEAhadi. Thanks, FORGER! (By the way, FORGER’S web site is... uhhh... probably X rated by some. Aw hell, I’ll give him XXX! So, consider yourself warned.)
Attack Watch is a site where any liberals that you might know, can rat you out.
Actually it’s a pretty neat site ‘cause it’s FUN to play with. You can go to Attack Watch.com and leave all kinds of messages and links -- that link back to the idiot and his staffs’ pages. However, like what's said below, irony is lost on these people.
The way I did it was to give ‘em the site that was smacking Obimbo ( I used his own, “http://www.barrackobama.com”) and below it the message, “You know how you know Obimbo is lying? His lips are moving... the site is full of lies!!” Then I put Obimbo’s email address (comment@whitehouse.gov) where it says “Your email address.”
Here are some testimonials and other creative ways to do it:
I logged in and reported myself for telling the truth about the SCOAMF. I am waiting for further instruction... @ http://tiny.cc/attackwatch2
BTW, Irony is lost on these people... http://tiny.cc/kte1r
(Note from M4e: you’ll have to go to FORGER’S site to see what SCOAMF means. But, you GOTTA go to the above links... they’re great.)
I told them I touch myself while thinking of Frank Marshall Davis. No sign of the black helicopters yet, but I’m hopeful.
The Daily Caller is one of 19 accounts -- and only one of seven news organizations -- followed by Attack Watch on Twitter.
The first seven Twitter accounts followed by Attack Watch were people or offices associated with the White House or Obama’s reelection campaign. The next two, in order, are Drudge Report and The Daily Caller.
I really, REALLY want to be in that number!
Hey... I think I hear a black helicopter touching down in the front pasture!
I’ll make this short and sweet.
President Barack Obama will bestow the medal at a White House ceremony. The two have also met privately, having a beer on a patio outside the Oval Office on Wednesday.
“Over the weekend, the President’s staff called Meyer in preparation for Thursday’s Medal of Honor ceremony at the White House. Meyer asked the staffer if he could have a beer with the President. POTUS invited Dakota to come by the White House this afternoon,” spokesman Jay Carney tweeted.
Full story at foxnews.com.
This is the second Medal of Honor to be bestowed on members of our fighting forces during the Obimbo administration regime. While I can’t speak for Sgt. Giunta, USA, who was the first recipient -- evidently, I can’t speak for Sgt. Dakota Meyer, USMC, either. Sgt. Meyer ASKED to have a beer with the Commander in Chief Idiot in Chief.
I’ve ALWAYS maintained that, were I still in uniform, I would follow orders -- without question -- from my lowest superior NCO up to the Commandant of the Marine Corps. The line would stop with CiC IiC Obimbo. If Obimbo were to ask to shake my hand, I would look him square in the eyes, spit in his face, do a smart about-face and march myself to the nearest brig to do my 20 years at hard labor... and enjoy every minute of it knowing that I got to do it!
Too bad the Medal of Honor had to be desecrated by -- NOT my CiC IiC -- Obamanure. Frankly, had I been Sgt. Giunta or Sgt. Meyer, I would have asked if the gardener -- or someone on the cleaning staff -- be allowed to do me the honors.
If not, then just mail it to me.
I didn't watch the Sunday 9/11 dedication ceremony. Purposely. I KNEW it was going to be about Obimbo. Evidently, I wasn’t disappointed.
During the ceremony, my wife came in to tell me that Obimbo was quoting scriptures from the Bible. I told her that he wasn’t quoting scriptures -- he may be READING them off the teleprompters, but he sure wasn’t QUOTING them and that he wouldn’t know the Bible from a Bugs Bunny comic book.
Later, I passed through the room where she had the TV on. By this time she had muted the TV. She's pretty tolerant so that should tell you something.
As I passed by the screen, all I could see was this smug, holier-than-thou, smirking face taking up three quarters of the image space. She was working on her laptop and not paying any attention. I stood there for couple of seconds watching this narcissistic, condescending idiot and said what I always say when numb nuts is on -- "One day, I’m gonna take my shotgun and blow the living hell outta it when he’s on!" She didn't even look up. She’s gotten used to me saying that. But, ONE DAY...
I'll let someone else take it from here. This describes it so much better -- mainly, because this person sat through it.
I watched the 9/11 dedication ceremony on Sunday and got sick to my stomach when President Obama started reading Scripture. I wanted to shout out: HYPOCRITE! FAKE! and FRAUD!
I'm sure you’re all familiar with the saying, 'actions speak louder than words'. Since taking office, Obama's actions have been overtly anti-Christian and pro-Muslim. He professes to be a Christian, yet everything he says and does is Muslim.
On top of his Muslim affinity, his lack of sincerity also came through as he stood before the crowd. He had that typical smug Obama look as if to say, 'hey everybody, look at me and what I’m doing'. Michelle Obama was at his side with an equally smug look on her face as she absorbed all of the attention.
On the flip side, you could see the emotions on the faces of former President George W. Bush and Mrs. Bush, as she wiped tears from her eyes.
The difference between the two couples was so obvious that no one could miss it. Besides, what did Obama do for the 9/11 victims and families of victims other than support the building of a mosque next to the site where Muslim terrorists murdered their loved ones?
I was so glad when the coverage of the ceremony ended and I no longer had to view the arrogance of the Obamas and listen to any more of his hypocrisy.
The only problem I have with the article is, “He professes to be a Christian, yet everything he says and does is Muslim.” I don’t think that’s right. Not the part about his professing to be a Christian... he’s no more a Christian than I am a tree frog. It’s the Muslim part. I don’t believe he’s Muslim, either -- if that’s what’s being eluded to. He ALIGNS himself with Muslims because it’s in his best interests.
He was raised by a mother with no faith, mentored, according to Dreams from my Father, by communist-atheist Frank Marshall Davis. His earliest work was with radical-anti-God- Alinsky community organizers who counseled him to join a church if ever he expected to make progress in the Black Community. It would seem to many then, that as a means to an end, he spent twenty years at Jeremiah Wright’s Church, supporting all forms of abortion and homosexual rights, listening to Louis Farrakhan’s hate-filled rhetoric, praised by the adulterous, flamboyant, Pastor Wright.
As far as religion... I’m more than convinced that he has none. Well, other than "Narcissism."
But HERE’S the REAL kicker:
In spite of pleas by Christian and Jewish clergy, Mayor Michael Bloomberg steadfastly refused to allow those who had brought spiritual comfort during the 9/11 tragedy to participate in the ten year Memorial at Ground Zero. The Mayor hadn't always felt that way. His first inclination was to include Feisal Abdul Rauf, the Muslim Imam who fought to build a Mosque at Ground Zero. But since the outcry against that was great, the Mayor decided to eradicate all expressions of faith, including prayers.
"Rather than have disagreements over which religious leaders participate, we would like to keep the focus of our commemoration ceremony on the family members of those who died," Bloomberg spokeswoman, Evelyn Erskine told AP.
I wish I could have seen Bloomberg’s face when Obimbo started salivating with words from the Christian Bible and quoted, "The God of Jacob is our fortress."
The God of Jacob? The God of Jacob is not Allah or Buddha or the Hindu Monkey God. He is the God of Jews and Christians....
President Obama has told us on more than one occasion, we’re no longer a Christian nation. "We are also a Jewish nation, a Muslim nation, and a Buddhist nation, and a Hindu nation, and a nation of nonbelievers."
He even instructed his staff to cover a cross at Catholic Georgetown, so it wouldn’t hang behind him as he spoke. But in a strong voice at Ground Zero, he assured the bereaved audience, "The God of Jacob is our fortress." It’s a good thing Feisal Abdul Rauf was not on the platform.
Barack Obama surely knew Mayor Bloomberg had banned expressions of faith. Did he read this Biblical passage to fill a necessary void? Did he read it out of strong personal conviction that the God of Jacob should be exalted above all Gods? Or did he do it because it was a perfect twist at an opportune time to get his slumping poll numbers up in a huge constituency from which he needs support?
My money goes on “because it was a perfect twist at an opportune time to get his slumping poll numbers up in a huge constituency from which he needs support.”
That, and his Obimbonistic “I’ll show you that I can do anything I want to do!” narcissistic, condescending, nappy-headed little self.
But, I guess I’ll have to admit that God DID speak that day, and through a most UNLIKELY source.
The kiddin' part of it is, that unlikely source -- with his nappy little head -- is probably still wondering, "Uuuh... whaaat happened?!" All of which goes to prove...
The Lord DOES work in mysterious ways.
I can really relate to this! All of this (and more... except the editorial cartoons... I ALWAYS gotta add the cartoons!) is from godfatherpolitics.com. Even the headline! (Hey... if it don't need fixin, don't fix it.)
The Uber-Liberal Daily Kos website has published Texas governor Rick Perry’s college transcripts. ... Perry was no scholar at Texas A&M University. He was a C student. Liberals see this as a disqualification for a presidential candidate. At least we have the governor’s transcripts. The same can’t be said for the sitting president idiot in charge* whose college and law school transcripts have not been made public.
A person’s grades are not always determinative of what he or she does in life. There are lots of C students who have gone on to do great things and lots of A students who have been miserable failures. Liberals are notorious for pushing how smart a candidate is. Barack Obama Obimbo* is said to be one of our smartest presidents. If he the idiot* is so smart, then why is he the idiot* spending money we don’t have? Why can’t he the idiot* fix the economy? It’s very easy to do. It wouldn’t take me more than 15 minutes to lay out a strategy, and I didn’t go to Harvard Law School.
The best educational job I ever had was working in a hardware store. I learned how to cut glass, thread pipe, make concrete slabs, drive a dump truck, run a Bobcat, mix paint, and a thousand and one other things. One day a frustrated woman came into the store holding some mangled plumbing fixtures. Her scholar husband couldn’t hammer a nail, fix a plumbing leak, or do typical handyman repairs. I know a lot of really smart people who know little about economics, and what they think they know are the very things that are destroying our economy.
This debate over college grades and governmental competency reminded me of David Halberstam’s 1972 book The Best and the Brightest. “The focus of the book is on the foreign policy crafted by the academics and intellectuals who were in John F. Kennedy’s administration, and the consequences of those policies in Vietnam.” The phrase “the best and the brightest” referred to President Kennedy’s “‘whiz kids’ -- leaders of industry and academia brought into the Kennedy administration -- whom Halberstam characterized as arrogantly insisting on ‘brilliant policies that defied common sense’ . . .” These so-called intellectuals got us into Vietnam, got more than 58,000 Americans and 1.5 million Vietnamese killed, and couldn’t get us (out)*. The iconic scene of people desperately trying to escape by helicopter is a fitting image of what the “best and the brightest” got us into.
Perry got a D in economics. Good for him. It was most likely Keynesian Economics, one of the most boring and convoluted courses ever devised by academia.
Given what academics from Harvard, Yale, and other Ivy Leaguers have done to our nation, I think a C student should have a shot at the presidency. All he has to do is follow directions. It’s all written out in the Constitution. There are some other basics. Stop sending our best and brightest young people to fight wars that never end. Stop spending money you don’t have. Don’t steal from some people so you can give it to other people so they will vote for you. Don’t try to create money out of nothing. It’s immoral and it doesn’t work. Who’s more right about Social Security, the media “intellectuals” or Gov. Perry who knows that it’s a Ponzi scheme and isn’t afraid to say so?
I am not endorsing Mr. Perry. Having said this, I will not sit back and let the Left set the agenda for what constitutes a good candidate. If you don’t like Perry, then deal with policy issues and not his grades from more than 20 years ago.
*There, I fixed it.
Funny thing about it is, I have a friend that I went to junior high and high school with. After we graduated from high school, he joined the Navy, did his hitch, came back home and started a business -- and became a millionaire. He did it with a high school education.
I have another friend that I went to junior high and high school with. After graduating from high school, he went to work on drilling rigs in the oil fields like I did. Tom (not his real name) was working for a major oil company and they saw some potential in him so they sent him to LSU (what they saw in me was a damn good roughneck and I showed up sober most of the time.) Anyway, he got his degree and was making GOOD money as a drilling superintendent and worked all over the world.
One day, while Tom was back in our West Texas home town for a visit, he was approached by a down and out friend of ours. Jack (not his real name) was a really close friend to Tom but he didn’t get to graduate from high school with us. Jack had a wife and three kids and was out of work. Jack asked Tom for a job. Tom told him he wouldn’t give him a job but that he WOULD loan him several thousand dollars to start a business of his own. Jack reminded Tom that he didn’t even have a high school education, but Tom told him that it didn’t matter... that he knew a lot of people who had made it without that much education and he believed that Jack could, too.
Long story, short -- Jack DID succeed. As a matter of fact, he became a millionaire -- a multi-millionaire (I know that doesn’t sound like much -- not when we’ve been conditioned to speak in TRILLIONS -- but it was a lot of money at that time.) In the process, Tom had made A LOT OF MONEY off the payback that he and Jack had agreed on at the beginning. Tom retired at age 35 from the major oil company, threw in with Jack and Jack MADE TOM a millionaire. Both of ‘em, at age 40, had memberships in country clubs in Texas, New Mexico, Louisiana and Oklahoma so they could play golf wherever they were at the time.
So, let’s repeat that -- “If you don’t like Perry, then deal with policy issues and not his grades from more than 20 years ago.”
In lieu of flowers...
This was in the Rome, GA News Tribune. It just doesn’t get any better than this!
Thanks, JB, for passing this along. I’m saving it and passing it on to my next of kin. I want them to know what my final request is, should I kick off while that nappy headed little girl is in office.
Freedom itself was attacked this morning by a faceless coward, and freedom will be defended.
