And The Award Goes Tooooo...!!!

A friend of mine asked me, sarcastically, about the “big announcement” today. You know, that Barack Hussein Obama (Mmmm mmm mmm!) had won the Nobel Peace Prize? He went on and on about how it was ridiculous for this reason and for that reason; his halted speech - an indication that he expected me to jump in and commiserate with him - became animated and perplexed by my silent and widening grin.
“You have it all wrong,” I told him. This is a remarkable accomplishment – one that no other human being could have pulled off.
When I think of esteemed past winners of the Nobel Peace Prize I am reminded of great people like Jimmy Carter, who may yet (current president not withstanding) go down in the annuls of time as the worst United States President ever), Al Gore, the “Global warming kook” – see Hillman, I really can spell the word kook! - Yasser Arafat, a Palestinian terrorist, and a host of other liberals who have spent a lot of time and hard work on symbolic (and virtually meaningless) gestures.
True to his (self-imposed?) messianic image, Barack Hussein Obama (Mmm mmm mmm!) won the award without having done anything! That’s right! He has been awarded for accomplishing nothing! He was nominated for the award in early February after a whole eleven days in office. At the time, the biggest news story was that Rush Limbaugh had stated he wanted Obama to fail.
Perhaps I am not giving credit where credit is due. After all, Obama did work from early November ’08 until January 20th in his capacity as “President-Elect.” He even stimulated the economy by having some sign making company make him a sign that read, “The Office of the President-Elect.” Is it possible that he was awarded the prize for his having accomplished absolutely nothing during that whole phase of his career? Maybe.
All-in-all it’s not a bad start for Obama. He’s won the U.S. Presidential election and the Nobel Peace Prize, (not to mention an honorary degree from the University of Notre Dame) within the same calendar year, and I for one think that his performance thus far – not as President of course – makes him a shoe in for an Academy Award!! He is far more convincing in his role than either George Burns or Morgan Freeman.

The good news for conservatives is that this new anointing could not come at a worse time for the Obama administration. They know that he has done nothing to deserve the award – although most people think the award is meaningless nowadays given the list recent winners. Mark my words; the White House is reeling over the embarrassment. You can bet that Obama’s own staff (not the Kool-Aid drinking sycophants) is starting to snicker behind his back.

Vast RIGHT-wing Conspiracy?

The fear-mongers are at it again. A couple weeks ago Jimmy Carter came out from whatever spider hole he’s been hiding to portray those opposed to creeping socialism (you know, the kind espoused by the Obama administration) as racists. Now, according to Bill Clinton, the “vast right-wing conspiracy” is at it again: http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/09/27/clinton.conspiracy/index.html.
It’s funny; not only is there no such conspiracy on the “right,” all evidence illustrates that the vast conspiracy exists on the left. Indeed, the diabolical forces we know as liberalism have been at work for over a century, and the leftists have gained power and control over just about every institution we Americans hold dear.
Our traditional churches have suffered the effects of liberalization to the point that they resemble, doctrinally, the antithesis of those traditional religions. The Catholic Church was a once respected institution; loved by many, despised by many, but always respected. Who can say that today? The great liberal experiment known as Vatican II has turned the Church upside down. It has become the laughingstock of the world. Its corrupt bishops and cardinals, including the current Bishop of Rome, have protected predator priests instead of their child victims. Who would respect any institution whose leadership included Joseph Ratzinger, Roger Mahoney, Walter Kasper, Bernard Law, Francis George, and a host of others who knowingly violated every Catholic moral principle by not only hushing up the crimes of their subordinate priests, but allowed them to continue to “serve” and “minister” to children.
Our schools are nothing but centers of liberal indoctrination. While government beauracies are in charge, and with ever-increasing property tax rates, most parents simply can’t choose which school to send their children, which text books should be used, nor which teachers should (and shouldn’t under any circumstance) be employed. The teachers unions and school administrators are liberally educated and are exerting more and more influence over children and young adults than ever before, no doubt emboldened by the election of our most radically liberal president ever. The communist propaganda piece, “The Story of Stuff,” is making its way into public schools around the country, and parents are not informed or given a choice to exempt their children from the propaganda. And who can deny the blatant indoctrination discovered at the B. Bernice Young Elementary School in Burlington, NJ: http://video.google.com/videosearch?hl=en&rls=com.microsoft:en-us&resnum=0&q=Mmm+mmm+mmm.+Barack+Hussein+Obama&um=1&ie=UTF-8&ei=Me_ASvS7IJXe8Qb3kNSpAQ&sa=X&oi=video_result_group&ct=title&resnum=4#. And people wonder why sane parents around the country did not want their kids to watch an Obama speech to school children? While it’s true that Reagan and Bush both gave speeches to school children, the interest among school administrators was non-existent. One could not say the same of the Obama zealots parading as teachers and administrators in today’s public schools.
Our government has become precisely what our founding fathers sought to prevent. Activist judges legislate from the bench; the Legislative Branch - rather than work for the people - is willingly enslaved by special interests, working hard to line their pockets and maintain power while depriving hard working Americans of their rightful gains, and our President is hotly engaged in spreading government control over every sector of our economy and our lives, from the banking industry take-over of 2009, to the automobile industry take-over of 2009, to the thus far) attempted take-over of the healthcare industry. Truly what has been a quiet and incremental take-over by liberals is now a full-fledged assault. There is a conspiracy, but it is, without question, a vast left-wing conspiracy.

Obama Loses Another Supporter

It’s a sad day in the world. For the 3rd or forth time this year the oldest living human has passed away. To make matters worse, Barack Obama lost a voter. Gertrude Baines was 115 years old, and as this article (http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D9AL80900&show_article=1) explains, she had outlived everyone in her family.
Besides the obvious, there are a couple of note-worthy things in the article, one being that under a government plan Mrs. Baines might have been considered a liability, having sponged off the government for so many years – at least for her social security and Medicare. At 115 years of age she’s been drawing benefits for 50 years! That’s 46 more years than the system was meant to support her – 46 years of welfare! Not that I would have changed that - I’m sure Mrs. Baines was a sweet old lady - but it makes me wonder how her life, especially her quality of life, would have been altered had Democrat authored and controlled Socialized Medicine been in play for those years. Would she have been able to afford her fried chicken, bacon and ice cream with all those “sin” and “sugar” taxes? Key to the currently proposed leftist plans is an emphasis on prevention, which would have undoubtedly excluded Mrs. Baines favorite foods. Under any Democrat plan she may have decided life wasn’t worth it a few decades ago – but not to worry, she would have received her end of life counseling 50 years ago too.
It was interesting to learn that Mrs. Baines voted for Obama “because he is for the colored.” And John McCain wasn’t? I suppose that if we can forgive her having lived on the government dole for so long we can also excuse her racism. Hopefully the next election will be about real issues and not any of the candidates’ skin color or gender. We lost our oldest human relative – that’s sad. But at least Obama has one less supporter.

More "Fear-Mongering" from the Right!

“The Pandemic Response Bill (2028) was passed by the Massachusetts state senate and is now awaiting passage in the House. This bill would give state authorities the ability to forcefully quarantine citizens in the event of a health emergency, compel health providers to vaccinate citizens, authorize forceful entry into private dwellings and destruction of citizen property and impose fines on citizens for noncompliance.
If citizens refuse to comply with isolation or quarantine orders in the event of a health emergency, they may be imprisoned for up to 30 days and fined $1,000 per day that the violation continues.” (WorldNet Daily: http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=108604)

Why such drastic (and unconstitutional) measures? The proponents of the bill will claim that these measures are for the good of the people, but we’d be foolish to forget that Massachusetts is also the only state in the union that has adopted socialized medicine, and is of course suffering the fiscal fallout for having made such a stupid choice. The state run healthcare system is innately incapable of sustaining itself in the event of a medical pandemic.
This cuts right to the heart of the current healthcare debate, not to mention every bit of incrementalized socialism adopted by this nation under the guise of “reform” in the last 75 years.

When Social Security was being debated prior to its passage in 1935, people like James A. Emery, chief counsel for the National Association of Manufacturers, Thomas A. Jenkins, Representative of Ohio, Allen Treadway of Massachusetts, and John Taber of New York were some of its most vocal critics. They were the political/social oracles of their day, predicting that Social Security would become a welfare program within a decade (which it did), that it would undermine or cause the elimination of better private pension programs then in existence (which it did – when was the last time you heard of a pension plan offered by a company not affiliated with a union?), that creating a government run pension would create dependency on government and a national attitude of entitlement (which it did), and that it would shrink the economy and increase unemployment (which it did – unemployment went from 17% to 25% before settling back down to 17%). Despite the modern misinformation that passes for History these days, the New Deal and all of FDR’s creeping socialistic programs did not end the Great Depression - in fact they probably made it last longer. It was World War II that saved our economy. All of the predictions of FDR’s opponents have come true despite the Roosevelt Administration’s promises and reassurances to the contrary.

So too will come to pass all of the dire predictions of Obama’s opponents. Government control of healthcare will lead any state body to trample the constitutional rights of the people in order to keep costs down. If the legacy of FDR’s agenda doesn’t convince you that government run programs are a bad idea, then the current police state being created in Massachusetts should!

Shamalot – no more.

The Democrats no longer have 60 seats today. One of their number - Senator Ted Kennedy - has gone on to face his eternity. Let’s hope that God’s mercy toward him is greater than Kennedy’s toward the unborn. I take no pleasure in his passing, but maybe Divine Providence has had a hand in his timely removal from the Senate.

Kennedy was a primary supporter of “healthcare reform.” (English translation: Socialized Medicine). Virtually everything Kennedy said was either a lie or it was simply not true. Chappaquiddick was not the beginning of his surreptitious career as many people might think. As early as 1964-65 Kennedy was working hard to alter the makeup of the United States. His Immigration Reform Act of 1965, under the guise of equality (which we all support), paved the way for many of the immigration problems we face today.

In 1965 Kennedy stated his bill “contrary to the charges in some quarters, will not inundate America with immigrants” and “will not cause American workers to lose their jobs.” Well, that is precisely what happened. Kennedy was the main force behind the amnesty granted in 1986 that was supposed to end illegal immigration and penalize businesses that hired illegal immigrant workers. Well Senator Kennedy, we’re waiting!

Kennedy also confidently predicted that no immigrant under the new system would become a “public charge.” Ha-ha. That one is laughable. Today there are so many immigrants drawing welfare in one form or another we can barely count them. We have more people on welfare today than entire populations of some other countries. Indeed, people immigrate here legally or otherwise specifically because of welfare programs that liberals (especially the extreme left-wingers in the ACLU) work hard to make available to them.

Most recently Kennedy wanted to convince us that healthcare, even for those here illegally, is an inalienable right. He told his constituents: “contrary to the charges in some quarters” healthcare reform [sic] will reduce the costs of healthcare without compromising quality of service. Given his track record, not to mention that of his fellow liberals, do you really believe a single (slurred) word that came out of his mouth?

So long Ted!

None So Blind As Them That Won’t See

New York Governor David Paterson thought he had an ace up his sleeve, but it turns out that all he had was the race card. Racism among Democrats has been particularly noticeable now that the Democrats have captured majorities in both houses and the White House, whether it’s Pelosi condescending to Alford, or Paterson blaming his failure on the racism of his constituents.
On Friday August 21st Paterson lamented that the chorus of people who believe he should not run for election next year want to keep him out of the race, not because the economy in New York is worse than in other states, or that the average New Yorker pays more in taxes than do people from just about anywhere else on the planet (and for ever-diminishing results), but because he is black!
“We’re not in the post-racial period,” said Mr. Paterson, according to an article posted on The Daily News Web site, which cited an interview the governor provided to a radio program hosted by Errol Louis, a Daily News columnist.
“The reality is the next victim on the list, and you can see it coming, is President Obama, who did nothing more than trying to reform a health care system,” Mr. Paterson said.
Nothing more than trying to reform a health care system? That’s like saying we tried to eradicate AIDS by eliminating all those infected with HIV. But alas, that’s not the point here. The point is that I am sick and tired of all the racism coming from pretend victims of it. Paterson didn’t stop there though. He stated on Monday, August 24th: "Part of what I feel is that one very successful minority is permissible, but when you see too many success stories, then some people get nervous." Paterson may be blind, but he is not color blind. And to be honest, I don’t think he is very intelligent. I am not sure which is the greater tragedy. If only he could understand that people don’t care about his skin color – they care about the color of money, and too much of it is being taken from them because of fiscally irresponsible policy.
If it isn’t people like Barbara Boxer condescending to Harry Alford, it’s people like Paterson claiming victim status when in reality he’s only a victim of his own poor performance. And this isn’t anything new. Remember Georgia Representative Major Owens claiming in 1994 that 200 million Africans were killed on route to the United States? That the ecology of the ocean was forever changed and as a result sharks are still swimming the route of the the slave ships in search of human flesh?

This sort of thing would be truly hilarious if it wasn’t for the fact that these ridiculous claims impede race relations. Mindless comments such as these give fodder to hate groups like the KKK and any other stupid skin head operation out there. And by questioning them; by pointing out how ridiculous claims like this are, one risks being branded a racist by other kinds of hate groups like Nation of Islam, ACORN, or for that matter, the Democrat party.

Just Trying To Do My Part

According to Fox News, "The White House is under fire for a blog post asking supporters to send "fishy" information [regarding the healthcare "reform" debate] received through rumors, chain e-mails and casual conversations to a White House e-mail address, 'flag@whitehouse.gov'."

Well, I think it's a good idea! Forget Fox News! I wanted to do my part to pass on the names of web sites that contain suspicious and misleading information, so I sent the following email:

Comrades,

Please focus some of your attention on the following web sites and persons of interest who are passing along information that is both false, and damaging to the President and his goal of Socialized Medicine.

http://www.democrats.org/ is a fairly pernicious site because although it looks semi-official, it is full of misleading statements concerning the public option and those who are against it.

http://www.dailykos.com/ - the people here are not only spreading lies about the healthcare debate and those opposed to socialized medicine, they also are very angry and have no sense of humor at all. Dishonest and hateful? Not a good combo. Perhaps they need to be watched a little more closely. If Janet Napolitano is right, this outfit must be made up of a bunch of angry white veterans.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/ - these guys were a little better. I believe the indignation described by David A. Harris over President Obama being compared to Adolf Hitler was justified: those two look NOTHING alike. However, I think that it is disingenuous and even racist to make comparisons like this based on looks. The fact that Obama is a dyed in the wool socialist (Nazi IS an abbreviated form of National Socialist German Workers' Party after all) lends a lot of weight to a comparison based on political ideology. And couldn't you say that Hitler started off as a community organizer?

And I would be remiss if I forgot to pass along a most troubling site; http://www.moveon.org/. But I probably shouldn't say anything disparaging about your most influential investor.

Robert Gibbs is the face of a propaganda machine that spews misinformation on a daily basis. You might want to give him a once-over.

Yes, something is definitely fishy over at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Kind of makes you think that Mrs. Paul is the First Lady, and not the lovely Michelle Obama.
