‘Twas The Night Before Christmas

WP: Vice President Biden presided over the 60-39, party-line vote, which brings Democrats closer than ever to realizing their 70-year-old goal of universal health coverage.

Notice the not-so-Freudian slip. UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE.

For the first time, most Americans would be required to obtain health insurance, either through their employer or via new, government-regulated exchanges. Those who can’t afford insurance plans would receive federal subsidies.

Subsidies paid for by?

You guessed it.

Us. Not Them.

Congrats.

It’s a Baby.

Vampire that is.

That if allowed to live will suck the life out of Everyone.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid declared that: “We stand on the doorstep of history.”

Infamy more likely.

And after all, their place in “history” and it’s immortality was far more important than the will of the People.

But since the liberal control education I’m sure the Republicans will be to blame when this Frankenstein’s Monster rampages through The Village.

Republicans fought the Senate bill with every parliamentary weapon they could muster, raising a series of motions on that failed along party lines. The rhetoric grew more harsh as time ran short.

“From rationing care to infringing on the doctor-patient relationship, this government-run system will guarantee U.S. taxpayers a staggering tax burden for generations to come,” Grassley said on the Senate floor. The final bill, Grassley said, “doesn’t do any of these things that we set out to do at the beginning.”

No, Senator. It doesn’t (on the things they SAID were the goals).

A challenge to the Senate health bill’s constitutionality failed on Wednesday afternoon in a party-line vote.
Sens. John Ensign (R-Nev.) and Orrin Hatch’s (R-Utah) point of order arguing that the Senate bill is unconstitutional under the Interstate Commerce Clause and Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution failed in a 39-60 vote. (The Hill)

And even the vaunted CBO has recently admitted to an error in their calculations, the one’s Democrats have been touting (Sounds a bit Copenhaegn-y don’t it?)(FOX): The Congressional Budget Office said Sunday that the Senate health care bill would not reduce long-term federal deficits as much as previously estimated, acknowledging that it made an “error” in its original analysis.

In correcting the mistake, Elmendorf noted that projections for a bill 10-to-20 years down the road can be highly unreliable.

“The imprecision of these calculations reflects the even greater degree of uncertainty that attends to them,” he wrote.

But on getting it passed so that they could force the drugs down everyone’s throat so they can addict them and make it look like it’s for their own good, they did succeed.

So Far.

But as Yogi Berra would say, “It ain’t over ‘Till it’s over”.

The House and Senate versions are radically different.

But it’s now about pride of Ideology, and Party. Not actually helping people.

And the American People must rise up and pressure them before the final vote on whatever mutant form of Socialized Medicine comes out in the final product.

Make no mistake, all Democrats are Liberals. And all Liberals are Democrats.

It’s about Ideology.

It’s about Party.

It’s not about You.

It’s about Them.

Their egos. Their Pride. Their “historic moment”.

The ascendancy of the Socialist Liberal Nanny State. Where they control you from before birth to after death.

And they have complete contempt for you and the process as this example From The Hill shows:

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) elicited perhaps the strongest reaction after he originally voted no on the health care reform bill he has crafted and ushered through the Senate for months.
Reid quickly threw up his arms in the air and bowed his head to his podium, drawing a hardy round of laughs from senators in the chamber. It’s not clear if Reid’s original vote was a mistake or a joke, but Reid said that he spent Wednesday night trying to think of ways to show some bipartisanship.

Yes, folks, bi-partisanship is a joke to Democrats.

Lest, you think the Fourth Estate, the mighty “journalist” was going to press the White House for answers, and askl tough questions, think again:

A press conference that began with White House press secretary Robert Gibbs announcing that since “last week we did a sort of happy hour briefing,” he thought “today we’d do sort of a brunch briefing,” got more trivial — and insulting by the minute.

What we got from America’s intrepid practitioners of First Amendment freedoms was a discussion about “a pink polka-dot shirt and a checkered tie.”

“What color are your socks today?” Gibbs asked one member of the press corps. Then it was on to the reporter “with the snappy blue tie and hopefully darker socks,” as Gibbs described his attire.

Not long after that came a question that must have kept C-SPAN junkies on the edge of their seats: “Does the president support Senator Akaka’s native Hawaiian government reorganization act, creating a native Hawaiian government within the state of Hawaii?”

There were jokes about cell phones going off — “Is somebody ordering a pizza?” Gibbs asked — and of equipment being noisily dropped — “Careful … this room isn’t paid for!” said Gibbs. “This is just a rental!” But there were no serious questions about what is contained in Congress’ worst-ever piece of legislation, rammed through in the middle of the night on a party-line vote.

We got touchy-feely questions like, “As the president is winding down this first year in office, as he looks back over this year, is he at the point now where he can say, this is kind of what I expected?”

Oh yes, and we learned that on the president’s upcoming vacation in Hawaii, “he will probably take the girls out for shaved ice.”

The whole thing is a joke to them.

Well, I’m not laughing, because it’s at MY EXPENSE.

When a question was asked about the president not discussing the government-run option for health reform with independent Sen. Joseph Lieberman, no answer was given because, said Gibbs, “if you’re looking back, it’s generally rehashing.”

Old News. We Won. Up yours. <<stick tongue out>>. Move on, nothing to see but a Jon Stewart Comedy Central routine. Next…

Reid during his final floor remarks said that many senators could hear (Teddy) Kennedy’s voice “ringing” in their ears.

I wonder if any of them heard Mary Jo Kopeckne??

“This bill is a real threat to liberty because of the precedent that it sets on the federal government being able to tell individuals what to do,” said Sen. John Ensign (R-Nev.).

But it’s not night fall yet.

Dusk maybe.

But not night fall.

The Dark Side hasn’t won’t quite yet, young Skywalker.

Though the Force is strong with The One.

They will ignore you, but keep it up, day after day.

Contact your local TV station news. Ask them why they don’t cover it properly.

It’s about Pressure people.

Comment early and often.

Twas the night before Christmas, when all through D.C.
Not a creature was stirring — except for sixty.
The health care bill made them wish they weren’t alive,
And they wanted Obama Claus soon to arrive.

The Dems were all anxious, they wanted to leave
For they know, in a year, six or seven will grieve.
The entire debate blew up in the Dems’ faces
And made their polls sink in all of the big races!

They don’t want to remember this nightmare existed,
Nor employ on constituents logic so twisted.
Harry Reid hid the bill, but I think this is it –
I will spell it all out with my rhyme and my wit:

There is no “public option,” progressives are crying
And distorting the CBO, Barry is lying
Mary Landrieu was bought off, but nobody cares
And Ben Nelson is pro-life — really, he swears by it

Medicare’s still insolvent, but we’re gonna slash it –
(But those evil Repukes are the ones who will smash it!)
The majority will says the bill is a clunker –
(But we’ve got cash for that, and the DNC bunker)

Pre-existing conditions? Irrelevant, now –
It’ll reduce our costs, though we can’t tell you how.
Tort reform was avoided with diligent care,
And we left state monopolies all standing there.

Now Obama Claus comes and he asks them to vote –
58, 59 — ah, at last he can gloat! –
For the ayes have it, sir, and the bill has been passed!
We have the damned health care reform here at last!

“Now Nelson! Now, Lincoln! Now, Pryor and Joe!
On, Evan! On, Landrieu! On, Baucus and Snowe!
To the top of the deficit, ceiling of debt!
We’re going to bankrupt the U.S.A. yet!”

I woke up the next morning and saw on TV
I got health care handouts — coming straight from D.C.!
Obama, I thought — you did all this for me?
“Think it costs lots right now? Just you wait ’til it’s free!”

by Alex Knepper

Have a Merry Christmas. It may be your last.

In Perpetuity and Civility

Obama's America

“I would hope that everyone would go back to their gentlemanly ways,” Reid said. “And I hope everyone will, as I’ve said to a number of people, [recall] Rodney King: ‘Let’s just all try to get along.’ “(Politico)

To quote an 80’s slang, “Like, Gag Me with a Spoon”.

The Uncivil Liberals want to make nicey and be all kissy-kissy now that that they can stab you through the heart.

Isn’t that special.

Now they want civility. After freezing out their opposition, calling anyone who disagreed with them all manner of ugly things like “racists” and “aryans”.

They do the deal in the backrooms and in secret and cut deals (aka Bribes).

Now they want civility.

To quote Tom Servo, “Bite me!”

Democrats are clearly hoping the Republicans will relent. Reid (D-Nev.) made an appeal on the floor Tuesday morning to turn down the temperature. “‘This is time we figure out a way to leave here in a peaceful nature,” Reid said shortly after 7 a.m. Tuesday.

I say turn it up.

You want to be dictators so bad, earn it, bucko.

Stop Whining.

It’s almost Volcano Day!

Tuesday’s vote came as a new Quinnipiac poll showed that American voters “mostly disapprove” of the health reform plan by a margin of 53 percent to 35 percent. They also disapprove of Obama’s handling of health care, 56 percent to 38 percent.

And you want the knife in the back while they extend the hand of civility?

Well Here it is, courtesy of IBD:

‘Page 1,020″ — it may soon be a mantra for one of the most disturbing abuses of legislative power in history. In setting up an Independent Medicare Advisory Board, that page of the Senate health overhaul bill passed in the dead of night early Monday says, “It shall not be in order in the Senate or the House of Representatives to consider any bill, resolution, amendment or conference report that would repeal or otherwise change this subsection.”

This enters the realm of “hyperlaw” or “laws on steroids.”

As Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., pointed out on the Senate floor, it isn’t lawmaking, but rather “creating a Senate rule that makes it out of order to amend or even repeal the law.”

DeMint is “not even sure that it’s constitutional,” since it affects “the fundamental purpose of Senate rules: to prevent a tyrannical majority from trampling the rights of the minority or of future Congresses.”

Clearly liberal Democratic leaders will stoop to record depths to expand the federal government’s powers.

So go ahead, vote us out, we still win.  The permanent cancer.

But don’t call them dictators.

Public support plummets well down into the 30s? They don’t bat an eyelash.

Mandating an individual’s purchase of a private service like insurance tramples the Constitution? Just watch them do it.

Bribe Senators Tom, Dick and Ben? Here’s the cash.

That is the arrogance of the mind-set dominating the legislative and executive branches: Your money is really theirs, to be handed out like a Mob-backed union boss toting a bag of cash on the waterfront.

That’s the Chicago Way.

Tim Andrews, Americans For Tax Reform:

If the current Senate health care bill passes, I – and millions of other Americans – will drop our health insurance the day it comes into law. And for this reason, it will ultimately destroy America’s health care industry.

Let it not be forgotten that the radical-ideological attack on free-market health care that underpins so-called healthcare “reform” by Obama-Pelosi-Reid was always a two step attack. First, destroy free market insurance. Second, set up a government-run program to fill the void.

Removal of the public option in the Senate bill delays step two, but the destruction of private health insurance means a government-run plan will almost become inevitable.

Why? Let me explain.

There are two key parts to the proposed legislation:

1)The individual mandate which means that if you choose not to receive insurance, you will have to pay an income surtax, (generally) maxing out at 2% of income  (see schedule below)

2)Non-denial of coverage for pre-existing conditions. This means that if you have no insurance, and contract an illness, you must be given coverage.

They can’t deny you for pre-existing conditions. It’s one of the things the Democrats are so proud of.

So. What would any rational person do?
The answer is simple. They would not insure themselves, and pay the tax for non-insurance. Why? Because this tax would be considerably less than most family or individual insurance plans. According to the AHIP Center for Policy Analysis, nationwide, annual premiums averaged $2,985 for single coverage and $6,328 for family plans in mid-2009. As such, paying the fine would be more worth it for individuals making less than $149,250 and families making less than $316,400 (which would cover about 99% of all households in the United States). This is not considering employee-provided health care, where premiums are considerably higher!

As such therefore, it would be in the interests of most rational Americans to not be insured, and as soon as they contract a serious illness, however, they would instantly sign up for insurance, and the law would force them to be covered. And have all their expenses paid for, even though they did not contribute anything to the insurance plan prior to contracting the illness. Then, as soon as their illness is cured, they would once again drop the insurance, having paid for only a fraction of the potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars treatment would cost.

The result? The individual free-rides off others and premiums skyrocket. As more and more people realize they can do this, the pool of paying insurance customers will dwindle, and costs will skyrocket even further. So fewer people will sign up for coverage, and ultimately, insurance companies will go bankrupt. The end result? Politicians will don shining armor and ride out to ‘save’ the people, with government run-health care, thereby “solving” a problem they created in the first place.

So do not be fooled by the rhetoric. This bill will destroy health care, and will lead to government run healthcare within a decade. There is no other explanation possible.

(Page numbers reference ORIGINAL REID-OBAMA BILL unless noted):

Individual Mandate Tax (Page 324/Sec. 1501/$15 bil/Jan 2014): Starting in 2014, anyone not buying “qualifying” health insurance must pay an income surtax according to the higher of the following (page 71 of manager’s amendment updates Reid bill): AGI- Adjusted Gross Income

	Single	2 People	3+ People
2014	$495/0.5% AGI	$990/0.5% AGI	$1485/0.5%/AGI
2015	$495/1.0% AGI	$990/1.0% AGI	$1485/1.0%/AGI
2016+	$495/2.0% AGI	$990/2.0% AGI	$1485/2.0%/AGI

Exemptions for religious objectors, undocumented immigrants, prisoners, those earning less than the poverty line, members of Indian tribes, and hardship cases (determined by HHS).

Employer Mandate Tax (Page 348/Sec. 1513/$28 bil/Jan 2014):  If an employer does not offer health coverage, and at least one employee qualifies for a health tax credit, the employer must pay an additional non-deductible tax of $750 for all full-time employees.  Applies to all employers with 50 or more employees.

Mind you, I agree with him that the ultimate goal, the Holy Grail, is a single payer Canada-style Government controlled Health Care.

And I see two ways this happens:

1) This monstrosity fails miserably (and it will). So if the Democrats are still in control, we have a “Health Care Bailout” and the government steps in to save us all.

This scenario is a bit more obvious than the other.

2) The insurance companies, who profit last year was 2.2% (where as KFC’s was 8%) under the weight of having to still turn a profit but cover everyone for essentially everything (pre-existing included) simply fail.

So the government steps in on their white horse to save everyone.

And voila, they control whether you live or die.

And since voting them out won’t get rid of the cancer, the patient is terminal.

Feeling sick?

I’m sorry, there’s no Doctor available. Try again in 2 years.

Isn’t “democracy” in America under Liberals grand.

The Cramdown Continues

“I’m tired of this Congress thinking it knows better than me and my family how to provide for our health-care now and in the future.”

Republican Party Chairman Michael S. Steele accused Democrats of “thumbing their nose and flipping the bird to the American people.” Conceding that the Senate bill is virtually unstoppable, Steele said in a conference call with reporters: “I intend to have my foot on the throats of the Democrats on this issue and hold them accountable.” Democrats seeking reelection in 2010, he warned, “can look for their pink slips.”

Senate Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.) told reporters he was “disappointed” by Steele’s remarks, calling them “crass and such a terrible example for the youth of this country.“

That’s some hubris Harry.

But Reid defended the long list of revisions to the bill, which were needed to secure the backing of moderate Democrats such as Sen. Ben Nelson (Neb.). Those changes contained additional Medicaid funding for specific states including Nebraska, exemptions for certain insurance companies and tighter restrictions on abortion coverage. “There are 100 senators here, and I don’t know that there’s a senator that doesn’t have something in this bill that isn’t important to them,” Reid told reporters. “If they don’t have something in it important to them, then it doesn’t speak well of them.”

There’s nothing like complete contempt and complete aethical and amorality and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is all of them.

Rasmussen:  The latest Rasmussen Reports weekly tracking update shows that 41% of voters nationwide favor the bill and 55% are opposed. Those figures are essentially unchanged from a week ago. This the fifth straight week with support for the legislation between 38% and 41%.

Among senior citizens, the group most likely to use the health care system, just 33% are in favor while 60% are opposed. Most adults under 30 favor the plan, but majorities of every other age group take the opposite view.

So the cramdown continues.

They know what’s best for them, and thus by extension know what’s best for you.

You need a new drug to placate you. Whether you like it or not.

Nurse Ratchet in the Form of Health Care Reform is coming to see to it you are dealt with properly.

After a few years on this new drug you won’t want to give it up.

So let’s get you addicted to our control now.

Big Brother knows best, dearie.

“This is a real debate over whether or not health care is going to be a right or privilege in America,” said Senator Richard Durbin of Illinois, a member of the Democratic leadership. “If you believe it’s a privilege for the rich, then you’ll vote against this. If you believe it’s a right, then I hope you’ll vote with us.” Durbin spoke on the Senate floor before the vote. (Houston Chronicle)

“We have to keep our eyes on what we’re trying to do here. We’re trying to cross a demarcation line,” Harkin told “Early Show” co-anchor Maggie Rodriguez. “On one side is health care as a privilege, on the other side is health care as a right. With these votes, with the vote that we’ll take before Christmas, we will cross that line finally and say that health care is a right of all Americans.” (CBS)

Mind you, that “right” is MANDATORY.

That “right” has fines and potentially criminal charges and jail if you don’t participate actively.

So the American way, of listening to the Voice of The People is over.

The Constitution is so 20th Century…

It will done the Chicago Way.

If you don’t like it tough.

If you oppose it, Guido here will come and dissuade you.

Or if you can be bought off, we’ll just buy you off.

Either way, youse are going to do exactly what Big Brother wants or else! Youse capeche!

Sen. Harkin,“I am a strong supporter of a public option, I remain so, and I believe that sometime in the near future we will revisit that issue again and we will adopt a public option.”

After we have successfully hooked you on the drugs and made you dependent on them, then we up the dosage and go for the gold. And you won’t oppose us then.

So they are the pimp and you’re the user whether you wanted to be or not.

They use  progressively more of your money to hook you on more drugs so they can feed their drug habit to spend even more money.

Mutually parasitic drug use.

Barack’s World! Barack’s World! Party time! Excellent!

That’s the New American Way.

Merry Christmas. Party on, Dudes!



By-Partisan Rule

“We come to proclaim an end to the petty grievances and false promises, the recriminations and worn out dogmas, that for far too long have strangled our politics,” Obama said on his inaugural speech.”"The American people have come together across races and regions and stations. Now we have to do the same. Now it falls to us, the people’s representatives, to give our fullest measure of devotion to the cause of freedom, and liberty, and justice, decency and dignity and our chamber should reflect what we know are in the hearts of the American people,” he said.

Most reputable polls show the majority of American against the Health Reform just passed.

Does it look like the liberals care?

2/1/06 Press release:“Democrats are leading the effort to turn the most closed, corrupt Congress in history into the most open and honest Congress in history,” Pelosi said. “The American people have been paying the cost for the Republican culture of corruption with a confusing, special-interest Medicare prescription drug program, higher gas prices at the pump, and skyrocketing home heating bills. Democrats will restore truth and trust to our government, and put the priorities of the American people first.”

So it’s now December 21st, 2009: We just had the most partisan vote in recent memory on a bill that was largely crafted in secret and no one was allowed to see it’s latest mutations, certainly not the evil enemy camp- The Republicans.

We have a bill that the majority of Americans don’t want.

We have the New Louisiana Purchase buying off Sen. Landreiu (D-LA) and The Cornhusker Kickback buying off Sen. Nelson (D-NE) just to name the most outrageous of the corruption and bribery that went into this monstrosity.

So much for what the people want.

It’s what the politicians want.

We serve them.

Yeah, that’s your Hope and Change for you.

Right up your ass and out your wallet.

Sen. Richard Burr (R) of North Carolina said: “You have to compliment Ben Nelson for playing the price is right.”

It’s the people who got zonked.

Even, the orchestrator of the Cornhusker Kickback is unrepentant about the backlash he’s already gotten for his corrupt deal to sell his vote, “This is all orchestrated,” Nelson said Sunday. “It’s so thinly disguised … it’s almost laughable.”

No one here is laughing Senator. Touchy Touchy.

The chairman of Nebraska’s Republican Party declared Nelson’s decision to be the end of his political career in Nebraska, and within hours of Nelson’s announcement, the state GOP launched a Web site, , to collect funds to oust the Democrat in the 2012 election. http://www.givebentheboot.com

“This process is not legislation,” said Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.). “This process is corruption.”

WP: A $100 million item for construction of a university hospital was inserted in the Senate health care bill at the request of Sen. Christopher Dodd, D-Conn., who faces a difficult re-election campaign, his office said Sunday night.

On CNN’s “State of the Union” Sunday, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R) of South Carolina mocked President Obama’s campaign slogan – “change we need” – saying the healthcare bill was built on “backroom deals … amounting to bribes.” He added: “Is that change?” .”You know, change you can believe in, after this health care bill debacle is now becoming an empty slogan. And it’s really been replaced by seedy Chicago politics, when you think about it, backroom deals that amount to bribes.”

Congrats to the Senate Democrats. They passed the most partisan, american people-hated bill in my lifetime.

Virtually from the beginning of the process, Republicans have been frozen out of the healthcare reform negotiations.The only concerted effort by Democrats to court Republican votes – the version of healthcare reform that emerged from Sen. Max Baucus’s Finance Committee – won only Sen. Olympia Snowe (R) of Maine, who has since dropped her support of the Senate bill. “I deeply regret that I cannot support the pending Senate legislation as it currently stands, given my continued concerns with the measure and an artificial and arbitrary deadline of completing the bill before Christmas that is shortchanging the process on this monumental and transgenerational effort,” she said.

And they are proud of themselves.

I guess that’s what is most galling. The pride they feel in their accomplishment. Totally devoid of any reality check.

And what do we have to look forward to, besides the liberal media spin that will topple the earth from orbit in 2010?

Medicare Was established in 1965
Cost $ 3 Billion in 1966
Cost $325 Billion in 2005
Cost $408 Billion in 2009 (12 % increase every year for 43 years)
From 2000-2007 paid DEAD physicians 478,500 claims totaling $92 Million  (U.S. Senate Permanent Committee on Investigation)

And is now bankrupt and they are going to cut $500 Billion dollars while flooding the market with new patients.

The 2009 Social Security and Medicare Trustees Reports show the combined unfunded liability of these two programs has reached nearly $107 trillion in today’s dollars!

And this was the model the Democrats used and are so proud of.

We will so far underwater it will drown us.

So the Congress hands us a loaded fire hose and turns it on.

And remember kiddies, the Taxes start in 2010. The “benefits” don’t start until 2014.

Graham is upset over what he calls Enron-accounting tactics that were used to make the bill look solvent.

“It is a sham. You collect taxes for 10 years and you pay out benefits for six years (2014-2020), and the Class Act, which no one’s talking about, is a completely new government entitlement.”

But hope for change is not totally dead.

There is the conference committee between the House and Senate versions. Which are radically different.

It’s a small hope only.

A conference committee will begin trying to reconcile differences between the chambers’ versions of the bill, such as:

* Whether the measure should include a new government insurance program, as the House legislation currently does.

* How to pay for the legislation. The House bill relies heavily on a new surtax on high-income taxpayers, whereas the spending in the Senate bill is offset by a new tax on high-end “Cadillac” health plans.

* The abortion issue, which temporarily stalled both House and Senate bills in their final stages. The two measures restrict federal funding in different ways.

* Differing formulas for expanding the joint state-federal Medicaid insurance program for the poor.

* Differing mandates for employers to provide their workers with health benefits.

* Competing provisions for ensuring that illegal immigrants can’t buy health insurance.

* And many smaller differences in the way the two bills regulate insurance companies.

The negotiations could stretch for weeks or months.
And with the 2010 Re-election cycle starting, it’s spin, pork,  or die!

But likely, they will do it, just to say THEY did it.

“Historic”, they’ll say.

Yeah,in  the most BY-Partisan way in living memory.

But don’t worry, it won’t be their fault when the wolves rip open the chicken house and kill all the chickens (meaning you an me) an burp loudly.

That is the only certainty left.

That, and liberal childish insults. Got some new ones for all the “morons”, “stupid”, “Insurance company dupes” and “hacks”, “racists”,”sexist”,”violent” “radicals” out there: (from Washington Times)

Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) today took shots at those who are not supporting the health care legislation. During a floor speech, he excoriated Senate GOP members for up holding the pending health care bill and accused their supporters of being birthers and fanatics in right-wing militia and Aryan support groups. He started off by citing an editorial from the Manchester Journal Inquirer, which used insults like “lunatic fringe.”:

They are desperate to break this president. They have ardent supporters who are nearly hysterical at the very election of President Barack Obama. The birthers, the fanatics, the people running around in right-wing militia and Aryan support groups, it is unbearable to them that President Barack Obama should exist. That is one powerful reason. It is not the only one.”

When asked later about it: Mr. Whitehouse said he stood by his speech, but would not admit that he was accusing anyone who was against the health care bill as racist. He did reiterate that birthers are part of the group that is against the bill and are attacking president  However, when I asked the Senator from Rhode Island what he meant by describing those who do not support the bill as “aryan,” he responded “No, I didn’t say that….again, pay attention to the speech.”

So yet another comment calling people who disagree with liberals racists. Then when you call them on it, they say they never said it.

Typical.

But now I can add “aryan” and “right wing militia” member to the list of insults.

Addendum from Chicago NBC website: “History cautions us of the excesses to which these malignant, vindictive passions can ultimately lead.” the ‘good’ Senator’s view of Republicans.

Oh Joy.

“This is not the end of health-care reform. It is the beginning,” Senate health Chairman Tom Harkin (Iowa).

That, Senator is what I’m afraid of.

Be Afraid. Be very Afraid.

But I will end today’s blog with a little christmas spirit:

Mike Huckabee likened Sen. Ben Nelson (D-Neb.) to Judas for providing Dems their key 60th vote in return for a range of concessions. “I don’t want every senator to go forward and see what they have to do to sell off their integrity,” the former GOP presidential hopeful told a rally in Nelson’s home state. “I don’t want them to go up there…and then somehow go back and boast, ‘Here’s some money that I got for you.’ The last time we saw that kind of historic moment it was 30 pieces of silver and that didn’t work out too well for us either.”

The Full “Ben” Nelson, trade your integrity and your morals and principles for money for only your own people.

Gee, I thought that’s why liberals hated capitalism.

The Final Bribe is In- The Cornhusker Kickback

Every Man has his price. Find that price and own the man.

Washington Post: “Change is never easy, but change is what’s necessary in America,” Sen. Nelson said at a morning news conference, announcing his support as a snowstorm raged outside.

Speaking at the White House, Obama said it appears that a vote is certain on a bill that would provide coverage to more than 30 million uninsured Americans. “After a nearly century-long struggle, we are on the cusp of making health-care reform a reality,” said Obama, who had dispatched senior administration officials to help lock down Nelson’s support.

Democratic leaders worked for days to hammer out a deal with Nelson. They reached a tentative agreement late Friday night. Under the deal, states could choose to prohibit abortion coverage in plans offered through insurance exchanges that the bill would set up for people who lack coverage through their jobs. The compromise is less restrictive than the abortion language contained in the House bill.

Nelson also secured full and permanent federal funding for his state to extend Medicaid eligibility to everyone below 133 percent of the federal poverty level. The bill would require all states to do so, but Nebraska alone would not be required to pay a portion of the additional cost after 2016.

And there it is, folks, the price of Freedom. The Final Bribe.

Landrieu got $300 Million (The New “Louisiana Purchase”) . Joe Liebermann got some language related to “the public option dropped”(at least in the Senate, in that explicit language) and got lots of attention and I’m sure a little back scratching , and Nelson got a permanent handout.

Nelson deferred all questions on the provision to Reid, saying only that he was “comfortable” the deal took care of Nebraska.

Screw America, Nebraska’s ok.

Gee, that makes me feel so much better.

But another Democratic holdout, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), took credit for $10 billion in new funding for community health centers, while denying it was a “sweetheart deal.” He was clearly more enthusiastic about a bill he said he couldn’t support just three days ago.

And he’s the openly avowed Socialist!

Vermont and Massachusetts were given additional Medicaid funding, another plus for Sanders and Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) Three states – Pennsylvania, New York and Florida – all won protections for their Medicare Advantage beneficiaries at a time when the program is facing cuts nationwide.

And the Bribes continue:

And the majority leader rewrote a proposed fee on insurance companies to exempt nonprofit firms that spend at least 92 percent of premiums on medical service, a change that would benefit firms in Michigan and Nebraska. That change, made at the request of Nelson and Sen. Carl M. Levin (D-Mich.), seeks to identify and reward “good actors,” Senate aides said.

“People fight for their own states. That’s the nature of a democracy,” said Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn.

No, Congressman , it’s the People. Not the State.

But since your re-election is all that matters to you….

Compared to the Trillions they have spent this, I suppose Freedom was a cheap date.

And he won concessions for some nonprofit insurers and for providers of supplemental Medicare coverage from a new insurance tax, and he was able to roll back cuts to health savings accounts.

But all that lovely bureaucracy and crushing tax increases are still there.

Oh Joy.

The revised Senate bill would require every American for the first time to obtain insurance or face a financial penalty for failing to do so. Those without access to affordable coverage through an employer would be eligible to apply for federal subsidies and shop for coverage in the new state-based exchanges, starting in 2014.

So Buy it or go to be fined or go to Jail. The no choice “choice”.

The penalty for violating this requirement could be as high as 2 percent of a taxpayer’s household income.

AP: The package would rely on nearly $400 billion in new taxes. The nearly $1 trillion, 10-year cost would be paid for mainly with Medicare cuts and new taxes on insurance companies and other parts of the health care industry.

NYT: To help finance coverage of the uninsured, the bill would levy annual fees on insurance companies and manufacturers of medical devices and prescription drugs.

And of course, the insurance companies won’t pass along all these new taxes to you, the consumer. No, that never happens.

And the Taxes begin in 2010. Benefit in 2014. States have to pay likely hundred of millions of $$ all by themselves starting in 2016 (All other states have to partially pay for a Medicaid expansion to admit all adults earning up to 130 percent of poverty level, if they haven’t done so already), except Nebraska, of course.

Joyous Rapture.

We’re Saved!

Starting immediately, insurers would be barred from denying coverage to children with preexisting conditions. A total ban on the practice would take effect in 2014. Lifetime limits on coverage would be banned, and annual limits would be restricted until 2014, when they, too, would be banned entirely.

Which will raise the premiums. But no one seems to care about that.

You’ll be so happy that they government has come to your rescue that being stuck like a pig and roasted on a spit will be just a occassion for great joy and prosperity.

To appease fiscal conservatives, Reid strengthened cost-containment provisions by expanding the scope of an independent Medicare advisory board, empowering it to implement cuts if costs grow faster than an inflation-based target after 2019.

And of course, they’ll do it.

It’s called “rationing”.

“I’m sorry Mrs Jones but you’re 85. We just don’t think that the operation that will save your life is economically worth it in the long run…”

The cost-benefit analysis is just not in your favor.

NYT:The federal government would provide $25 million a year for a “pregnancy assistance fund.” The money could be used for “maternity and baby clothing, baby food, baby furniture and similar items,” the proposal says.

And this they say will reduce abortions.

Look ma, if I get pregnant I get all kinds of free money!

And then there’s welfare, and Health care, and WIC, Food Stamps ad nauseum.

It’s all Free Money!

Being poor and having a kid never looked so profitable.

AP:“The best thing government could do to ensure more Americans have access to health care insurance is to institute reforms that would rein in costs and make health care more affordable,” said McCain, R-Ariz. “Regrettably, there’s nothing in this legislation that effectively addresses the problem.”

McCain suggested the Obama administration wouldn’t be in such a position if it had governed in a more bipartisan way.

“That’s why they’re in the position of having to purchase the last vote or two,” McCain said.

“A number of states are treated differently from other states,” Mr. Reid said. “That’s what this legislation is all about, compromise.”(NYT)

Seperate and unequal.

But Senator McCain, that was never the intent to begin with. Government, even incrementally, in charge of who lives and who dies was the goal.

And it seems Freedom is doomed.

When all this blows up in their face and they have yet another collosus on bankruptcy in the future it will too late.

Just remember it wasn’t their fault.

It was George W. Bush’s!!

Doesn’t that just make you feel so much better.

Let’s everyone have a Two Minute Hate!

Oh, and it was for the good of the people, despite that annoying 55-61% of people who were opposed to the whole thing!

You’ll never see that in the liberal history books.

And we can’t forget, because they haven’t, about the 12-20 million new Democrats..ahem Illegal Aliens..um, “Immigrants” that have to be added to the system and will undoubtedly be subsidized by you me (“The federal government”).

So it’s a Joyous Christmas Season.

The Season of Giving.

“This bill will do so many good things for so many people,’’ said majority leader Harry Reid.

Little Timmy is just overjoyed!

So this is how liberty dies… with thunderous applause. And lots of Christmas Cheer.

So we can replace the politically incorrect coal in your stocking with Corn.

As a reminder of what once was a Free America.

Ho Ho Ho Merry Christmas!

The Partisan Divide

IBD: We’d guess Democratic Sen. Evan Bayh of Indiana sums up the Beltway wisdom when he says that tension across party lines makes it tough to rein in the debt and deficits. “Democrats want to spend more than we can afford,” he said. “Republicans want to cut more taxes than we can afford.”

And since politicians don’t cut programs, especially their own pet ones, tax hikes are inevitable.

And these could be on the backs of the Health Reform Taxes and potentially Cap & Trade taxes.

Cap & Trade is looking doubtful, but not impossible, as the Copenhagen Summit collapsed under it’s own weight late in the week.

They created enough of their own self-obsessed “carbon footprints” to choke a few African nations and came away with nothing really.

Anyone ever heard of Net Meeting?

John Sauven, Greenpeace UK’s executive director, said: “There are no targets for carbon cuts and no agreement on a legally binding treaty. It seems there are too few politicians in this world capable of looking beyond the horizon of their own narrow self-interest.” (examiner)

No truer statement, especially these day.

And especially when it comes to Democrats, Republicans, and the spoilers, Independents like me.

And Partisanship has hardened more and more in the last 10 years.

WSJ: Last year, for example, Democrats voted with the majority of their caucus 92% of the time in the House and 87% of the time in the Senate. Republicans voted with the majority of their caucus 87% of the time in the House and 83% of the time in the Senate. In other words, in only a small percentage of cases do either Democrats or Republicans buck the party line. That’s a picture of lockstep partisan voting, and it has been that way since the late 1990s.

So the Democrats, who have a majority, want to spend like it doesn’t matter on The Agenda. And the minority wants to cut taxes to stimulate the economy. But to Democrats the phrase “tax cut” is an evil 4-letter word…

You have a real mess.

So when this President foolishly or naive promised a post-partisan atmosphere he was obviously either disingenuous or permanently on Nitrous Oxide.

Making any meaningful  reductions very hard indeed.

It hasn’t always been this way. Look back 40 years, and Washington behaved in a quite different manner, with Democrats and Republicans both showing far more willingness to break ranks and reach across the aisle to the other side. In 1969, for example, House Democrats voted with their party’s majority just 61% of the time and House Republicans just 62% of the time. In other words, lockstep voting was roughly a third less prevalent than it is today.

If it had been as strident then as it is now the Civil Rights Acts of the 1960’s would never have happened.

GOP Sen. Judd Gregg of New Hampshire, who with Democratic Sen. Kent Conrad of North Dakota came up with the idea for the panel (8 Republicans, 8 Democrats 2 Obama Admins to try and work out a deal), sees the parties in conflict joining hands and jumping “off a cliff together.” As inspiring as that would be for many voters weary of Washington’s insatiable appetite for other people’s money, it’s not likely to turn out that way.

Likelier, those who recommend spending cuts will be pushed off the cliff and unable to oppose tax hikes.

Which brings us back to Bayh’s comment that “Republicans want to cut more taxes than we can afford.” It’s tax hikes, not cuts, that we can’t afford. We can’t even afford the taxes being imposed now.

Research has found that economic growth is maximized when combined federal, state and local taxes are 23% of the gross domestic product. The combined rate today is close to 30%.

America is the economic engine that moves the world. If the task force recommends tax hikes, and the Democratic Congress passes them and the president signs them into law, the shock will be felt here and abroad.

But if the panel does an honest analysis, it will find Washington has spending issues, not a revenue problem.

But like any drug addict they have to admit they have a problem first.

And I don’t see the Democrats doing that, even in an off year re-election cycle.

Example: The culmination of years of runaway socialism has left the  Greek public resentful, bitter and unwilling to pay taxes. “Why should I pay?” a Greek citizen told the New York Times. “I don’t care about my government, I don’t care about my country.”

Let the rich pay them. Let the “greedy” corporations pay them.

Their country’s bond rating was just lowered, making their money worth less and borrowing more expensive.

Our Future or our Present?

It’s all about Me.

What’s in it for Me.

Screw you.

It’s all about The Party.

It’s all about The Agenda.

The Politicians and their divide on one side.

The People on the other.

So you have a divide within a divide.

Fifty-seven percent (57%) of voters nationwide say that it would be better to pass no health care reform bill this year instead of passing the plan currently being considered by Congress. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that just 34% think that passing that bill would be better.

However, 70% of liberal voters nationwide say it would be better to pass the legislation rather than passing nothing at all. Most moderates (54%) and conservatives (80%) hold the opposite view.

Compared to the average government worker, most Americans think they work harder, have less job security and make less money.

In fact, 59% of Americans say the average government worker earns more annually than the average taxpayer, according to the latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey.

Among those who have close friends or relatives who work for the government, the belief is even stronger: 61% say the average government worker earns more than the average taxpayer.

Feeding that belief is the finding that 51% of all adults think government workers are paid too much. Only 10% say they are paid too little, while 27% say their pay is about right.

And they have FEHBP, the platinium standard for perfect health care.

So the partisan divide widens.

And with Mainstream Media very much partisan, you can’t even get the news without the spin cycle, just pries the wedge open farther. After all, conflict is good for the new business and pushing The Agenda is their partisan need.

The War on FOX by the White House and the Mainstream Media earlier this year should give us a good clue there.

Why they heck would they want to cover the news “objectively”? That’s so old fashion and not “crusading” enough for your average “journalist” today.

There’s nothing in it for them to just report the news.

That’s boring.

Especially, if THEY disagree with it.

Cynic: a person who believes that only selfishness motivates human actions.

“a blackguard whose faulty vision sees things as they are, not as they ought to be.” –Ambrose Bierce

Yep, that’s me.

And from the evidence, is that so wrong….

What A Difference

“What a difference a year makes,” said Christopher Arterton, dean of the graduate school of political management at GWU.

The president’s job-approval rating has slipped to 49%, Republican pollster Ed Goeas and Democratic pollster Celinda Lake say. And the percentage of people who strongly disapprove of the president’s performance, 41%, outweighs the 37% who strongly approve.

Disapproval of the job that Congress is doing has risen to 68%, “an all-time high,” and 77% among independent voters.

And yet, they continue on with the Agenda. Why? Because it’s the Agenda. And because as one Democratic talking head on MSNBC yesterday (forgot her name) said,”It a once-in a generation chance” to do what Liberals have been drooling over for 45+ years, at the very least starting with LBJ’s “War on Poverty”.

So they can’t stop now. They have to win.

They must win.

The Holy Grail of Socialist Control of Everyone and everything is with their grasp!

It’s a “moral imperative” for people who preach moral “relativism”.

The president’s job-approval rating has slipped to 49%, Republican pollster Ed Goeas and Democratic pollster Celinda Lake say. And the percentage of people who strongly disapprove of the president’s performance, 41%, outweighs the 37% who strongly approve.

Disapproval of the job that Congress is doing has risen to 68%, “an all-time high,” and 77% among independent voters.

To quote a famous liberal, James Carville, “It’s the economy, stupid!”

Not your Liberal Socialist drooling pet projects to take control of every aspect of everyone’s life and make them all dependent on your benevolence.

This Health Care Reform: No

Cap & Trade: No

Amnesty: No

Even More Spending: No

The congress over this week has spent yet another 1+ trillion dollars. By my count that’s sometwhere near 4 trillion in one year.

And these are the guys who complained about Bush spending.

Obviously, it was just about what Bush spent it on. Which wasn’t them and their buddies and pet projects.

As I said to others during the election: The Democrats were mad at Bush for spending, because they want to spend it on their own projects. And they were mad about earmarks because they want more of their own.

Thus was born Bush Derangement Syndrome. Where nothing in the universe was not George W. Bush’s fault.

And the media was very happy to oblige.

It fitted The Agenda.

It’s who’s spending the money on their own pork that matters.

So now, we are going to have the Grinch who stole Freedom, the Senate will vote on Christmas Eve on their Health Care bill. It’s theirs. Not yours. It’s not there to benefit you, it’s there to benefit them.

At this point they pretty much know they can’t have the whole hog, but damn if they won’t keep trying. Because it’s likely a once in generation or once-in-a-lifetime chance to insert their ideology into the american fabric forever and they can’t pass that up.

It’s too juicy.

Screw the fact that the people don’t want it.

They do.

They just have figure out how to add more pork to the pig so they can give the extra bits as bribes like they did to Sen. Mary Landrieu who is now full on in support of the bill now that she’s had her fill at the trough.

Meanwhile, we the people, are out of work, being layed off, being cut-back, being foreclosed on. Struggling to even pay bills.

We don’t really matter.

Capitalism is under massive bombardment.

And our “representatives” are working overtime to try and figure out a way to win and enslave us.

And get re-elected for it in 2010.

And make no mistake about it, The Mainstream “Ministry of Truth” Media is going to be right behind the Democrats making so much spin  the Earth should come off it’s axis.

So strap yourself in.

Disapproval of the president’s job performance is “driven not by the personality of the president, but the policies of the president,” Goaes said. “Obama has done more to improve the image of the Republican Party than anything that we’ve been able to do for years.”

You thought the last 2 years were bad. 2010 is going to be much worse. The gits who brought you the last 2 years now have to defend it.

God help us all.

A survey also reveals a “disconnect” between what most voters would like to see in healthcare — controlling the cost of medical care — and what they view as the president’s priority: insuring the uninsured. (and the last show AT BEST only a 1/3 more uninsured would be covered. Leaving 24 million uninsured. So why are they bothering?- politics.)

“Only 28% said their priorities match Obama’s priorities, and 64% said they do not,” Democratic Pollster Goeas said. “There’s a disconnect.”

Most voters surveyed, 56%, say the country is on the wrong track, with 34% seeing the nation going in the right direction.

But the Democrats stopped listening the minute they won. Because, it’s about the Agenda. The once-in-a-lifetime chance to destroy capitalism and insert themselves permanently into everyone’s lives. To be as omnipotent as they possible can be.

The ultimate Liberal wet-dream. And Dreams die hard.

Faced with that, why would they care what you think?

Damn the Torpedoes, Full Steam Ahead!!!

But they can pretend. And that’s 2010. The year they pretend to care.

I mean, Nancy Peolsi has already said 2010 will be about “jobs”.

Why wasn’t 2009 about jobs?

Not part of The Agenda.

And given there knee jerk Keynesian economics they will undoubtedly continue with stunt “rebates”  (Like “Cash for Caulkers” that was just announced) and “jobs bills” (aka spend money allegedly to create jobs, just like the Stimulus didn’t.)

I wonder if Arizona’s 15th Congressional District ,as named in the Stimulus Bill, will create any new jobs. (FYI: we don’t have 15).

As the great Henry Hazlitt wrote in 1946 about such spending: “For every public job created … a private job has been destroyed somewhere else.” Government can point to jobs it says it “created,” but it’s hard to show someone a job that wasn’t created in the private sector because the money was spent by government.

And they will get no real credit for it.

In the end, the debate really isn’t about economics at all. As Arthur Brooks, president of the American Enterprise Institute, recently wrote, it’s all part of a much greater debate — “a moral struggle currently being played out over the free enterprise system: Will we strengthen freedom, individual opportunity and enterprise? Or will we expand the role of the state and its power?”

In this, the choice doesn’t lie with Congress. It lies with you.(IBD)

Republican, Democrat, Independent, I don’t give a damn.

But you better.

“The question we ask today is not whether our government is too big or too small, but whether it works.’’- Obama in his Inaugural address.

Well, it’s too big and getting bigger and fatter, and it doesn’t work; at least not for the average american.

But, you have to ask yourself this, was that the plan all along?

The unemployment rate was bad when Obama was sworn in. It got worse. But the first time they had a “Jobs summit” was very late in the year and they excluded some large organizations, like the US Chamber of Comerce, for the simple reason that they we were not cheerleading for Obama.

And their solution so far, Spend More Money. Obviously, we have spent enough!

:::sigh:::

And, on Health Care: Remember that Mandate. The IRS…Jail

This from the far-left Huffington Post:

Make no mistake: the health insurance mandate would not be like the mandate to drive the speed limit. It would not just be a clever idea that nobody really followed. It would be law. There would be fines for not heeding it–and steeper penalties for shirking the fines.

And here is the kicker: a mandate for health insurance would, if signed into law by President Obama, would take the already flawed business model of health insurance and turn it into a perfect storm of financial and then physical ruin. (Jeffrey Feldman).

So how do plug the leak of Illegal aliens using ER’s as Primary Care.

Make them Legal, of course.

Then dump 12-20 million poor people into a Health Care System that is overburdened to begin with and voila, instant meltdown.

Especially as, the taxes kick in immediately, the “benefits” of the “reforms kick in in 2014.

Aftter the next election cycle has already happened. 4 years from now.

And you cut $500 Million dollars from Medicare, and call it a benefit.

Since no government can require people to spend themselves into poverty (or can they?), the result of the mandate will be that a large chunk of the American middle class would choose to expose themselves to enormous financial risk in the long run in order to avoid spending all their money on health insurance in the short term.

So in the end, mandated Health Insurance could end with people required to have insurance, but avoiding using it because they can’t afford it. Many just paying the fines, because it’s cheaper.

And when the inevitable happens and the government is going bankrupt on this program too.

The perfect storm.

Now, that’s what they promised.

But the liberal politicians would have their Holy Grail.

Nothing else much matters.

So, the elections are long way off, but just keep all this in mind when the Media Spin makes you dizzy and the Democrats promise you the moon, the stars and a universe of wonderful and hopeful things.

It’s just a drug high.

Vote for Delirium tremens.

It will be painful. But in the end you just might still have your freedom.

The Agenda Uber Alles

To Lord Doom, Al Gore: “It is better to deserve honors and not have them than to have them and not deserve them.”—Mark Twain.

Unless, you’re making millions off the suckers. Oh, and when the jig is up, just ignore them.

WSJ: JOHN STOSSEL, HOST: I wish that Al Gore were here to debate him (Jerry Taylor, Energy Analyst for the Cato Institute) and me. We asked Vice President Gore, and his office sent this e-mail saying: “It’s very difficult to decline invitations such as yours, but it’s an unfortunate inevitability of the growing influence of the climate crisis message and the demand on Mr. Gore’s time. (Boos from audience) We do apologize, but thank you for your interest.” (Via email 11/23/09).

Come on, Mr. Gore. The idea that you don’t have time is pretty silly. You have time to go on programs like “Saturday Night Live.” It’s not a time issue. (Applause) Truth is, you won’t debate anyone. You’ve been asked lots of times, but you always say no. But if you do ever want to debate, we’d love to offer you the air time. We will give it to you. I’ll give you a special phone number that goes to this phone. Glenn Beck has that red phone that goes to the President. For you Mr. Gore, the green phone. I await your call.

Of course, Stossel was quite right: despite claiming to be an expert on this subject, Al Gore refuses to debate anyone. And, he only goes on television programs where he knows he can say whatever he wants, regardless of accuracy, and never get challenged.

Such is what happened when he appeared with CNN’s John Roberts and Kiran Chetry Wednesday morning, and with MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell Wednesday afternoon.

That media not only comply with Gore’s ability to present unchallenged falsehoods to the nation, but also let him get away with never being on the air with anyone that disagrees with his views, is nothing less than appalling.

That said, Stossel shouldn’t hold his breath waiting for this charlatan’s call.

Gore’s got the media in his back pocket, and he’ll never voluntarily relinquish control.

And he is still at it with incredibly stupid comments. On the Conan O’Brien show of 11/12/09, he said the temperature in the mantle, the deep layer immediately below the crust, is several million degrees just two kilometers down. This is many times hotter than the Sun.

This is blatantly wrong. But don’t expect the “consensus’ media to care.  After all, according to them, they aren’t bias. We are.

In Gore’s and his lemmings world, facts are facts when they are spoken by them, not when they are proved.

As reported by Not Evil Just Wrong Monday:

In several recent interviews the former vice president said that the Climategate emails were “sound and fury signifying nothing…the most recent one is more than 10 years old.”

However the reality is that the most recent email from Climategate is less than two months old. The emails undermine the science of Climate Alarmism and that is why the alarmists are so reluctant to address them or like Mr Gore they make factually incorrect statements about how relevant they are.

On CNN: Host John Roberts, to his credit, was quick to correct Gore when he was interviewing him on the same subject saying that, “many are far more recent than that.” Gore did not respond.

Mr. Gore says he cares a lot about science and scientific accuracy. His whole theory of Climate Alarmism depends on it but today at the United Nations Copenhagen Climate Conference he refused several opportunities to correct the record when asked about his errors by journalist and film maker Phelim McAleer. Instead his Press Secretary grabbed McAleer’s microphone to stop questions being put to the vice-president.

Have U.N. security officials been instructed to prevent journalists from asking climate realists uncomfortable questions?

Best to just ignore the annoying people who actually want to debate you.

Especially when you continue to tell whoppers:  Examiner.com

Now he has been caught in stating in a speech at the climate talks, that there is a 75 percent chance that Arctic ice cap could become “ice free” during the summer months in as little as the next five to seven years.

Only problem is, the scientist who Gore cited as the source for his whopper, Dr Wieslaw Maslowski, was quoted AFTER Gore’s speech as saying his research revealed ‘nothing of the sort’.

‘It’s unclear to me how this figure was arrived at,’ Dr Maslowski said. ‘I would never try to estimate likelihood at anything as exact as this.’

And Dr Jim Overland, a leading oceanographer at the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said:  ‘This is an exaggeration that opens the science up to criticism from skeptics,’.

Two years ago, a High Court judge (in the UK)  ruled his Oscar-winning documentary An Inconvenient Truth was ‘alarmist’ and contained nine scientific errors.

It’s the latest embarrassment for Gore, an outspoken environmental campaigner who has earned millions of pounds from green investments and faced repeated criticism for scaremongering.

The court said copies of the film sent to secondary schools should be accompanied with notes to balance Gore’s views.

Examiner: Rather than recognizing that the best science is skeptical science, any skepticism is now treated with the “ostrich in the sand” syndrome and ridiculed off the stage.  Irony being it is actually the “consensus” clucks who are putting their heads in the sand.  Dutifully following the dogma of their leaders, (Gore, Soros, Obama) they shout down heretics in the best traditions of the Spanish Inquisition.  Galileo and Newton would be most uncomfortable at this convention.

Yes indeed, these citizens are most dutiful to the dogma.  In fact, these “citizens of the world” are so dutiful to their cause that when one Professor Stephen Schneider (IPCC contributor extraordinaire) was being “pressured” by independent film maker Phelim McAleer regarding said professor’s views on the climategate conundrum and it’s effect upon the “science” of climate change, an assistant to the professor felt it necessary to summon armed UN security guards.

Why bother with facts when you can just call a security guard instead?  The irony is that the questioning was at a press conference called by Professor Schneider to launch his new book!

Speaking of Books, Lord Doom has a new tome out: “Our Choice” which depicts a global warming ravaged earth on part of the cover. Problem is:

The retouched image depicting our planet at some point in the future, contains images of five hurricanes. One storm off the coast of Florida is turning in a clockwise motion, an impossibility in the northern hemisphere. Another hurricane is shown near Peru and the equator, a place where hurricanes cannot form. It is also a bit ironic that so many storms are depicted when hurricane activity is currently at a 30 year low.

In the modified image, Cuba appears to be completely submerged. That would require a sea level rise of more than 6580 feet as that is the height of Pico Turquino on the island. Much of Florida as well is now under water as is a great deal of Central America.

The problem is that if there were indeed a rise of that level, Florida would be entirely gone as its highest point only reaches an altitude of 345 feet. Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, South Carolina, Virginia and virtually every single other state that borders an ocean (and many landlocked states) would be submerged. Even Denver, the Mile High City, would be under water although presumably its residents could escape to the Rocky Mountains.

In fact, only 17 of the 50 states in the union would have part of their land above sea level, only two of which are east of the Rockies. Globally, that sea rise would be devastating as well sending many nations under the surface of the ocean including South Korea, the United Kingdom, Jordan, the Czech Republic and dozens more. (examiner)

D’oh!

But it looks good!

The Forthcoming Movie Poster?

I guess the truth was inconvenient for a good cover shot.

But don’t judge a book by it’s cover.

Lumumba Di Aping of Sudan, who chairs the G77 group of developing nations deriding the U.S. Congress: “You approve billions of dollars in defence budgets: why can’t you approve $200 billion to save the world?” or the Algerian chairman of the African group, Kemal Djemouai, lamenting: “The developed countries found $1.4 trillion to combat the financial crisis. Now they are offering just $10 billion to fight climate change.”

For if it truly IS just about the money, that would mean the entire Copenhagen summit (complete with 140 private jets and hundreds of limousines mind you) is nothing but a global socialistic shakedown of the western democracies.

Shocking!

Pay particular attention to the paragraph:

An official in the Nigerian delegation which was part of the walkout, said Europe’s lowball offers of financial support were “pathetic. He added: “There will be no commitments from the G77 [bloc of developing countries] until we get better assurances about financial and technology transfers,” reports our colleague Alessandro Torello from Copenhagen.

Low-ball offers?  Financial and technology transfers?

Show me the money baby, show me the money.

That seems to be the real “consensus”, especially in Copenhagen where the only people being arrested are the ones who think the conferencees are not doing enough to cram it down everyone’s throat.

Much like Health Care Reform.

A CNN poll shows 36% of the public in favor of what the Democratic Senate is trying to do to health care, 61% opposed. It is clear what the public wants Congress to do: Take a mulligan and start over.

Fifty-six percent (56%) of U.S. voters now oppose the health care plan proposed by President Obama and congressional Democrats. That’s the highest level of opposition found – reached three times before – in six months of polling.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that just 40% of voters favor the health care plan.

Perhaps more significantly, 46% now Strongly Oppose the plan, compared to 19% who Strongly Favor it.

“The most significant detail in the data is that 63% of senior citizens oppose the plan, including 52% who strongly oppose it,” says Scott Rasmussen, president of Rasmussen Reports. “Seniors are significant in this debate both because they use the health care system more than anyone else and because they vote more than younger voters.”

USA Today/Gallup poll finds public support for such efforts still below the majority level. Forty-six percent of Americans say they would advise their member of Congress to vote for healthcare legislation.

In a recent NBC poll, just 32 percent of respondents said they believe the president’s health care plan is a “good idea”; 47 percent said it’s a “bad idea,” the highest that number has been. According to a recent ABC News poll, majorities now for the first time disapprove of Obama’s work on health care (53 percent) and oppose the health care reform package making its way through Congress (51 percent).

In the ABC/Washington Post poll, more than half of those polled, 53 percent, see higher costs for themselves if the proposed changes go into effect than if the current system remains intact.

NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll finds that those believing President Obama’s health-reform plan is a good idea has sunk to its lowest level.

Just 32 percent say it’s a good idea, versus 47 percent who say it’s a bad idea.

In addition, for the first time in the survey, a plurality prefers the status quo to reform. By a 44-41 percent margin, respondents say it would be better to keep the current system than to pass Obama’s health plan.

American voters, by a 55 – 35 percent margin, are more worried that Congress will spend too much money and add to the deficit than it will not act to overhaul the health care system, according to a Quinnipiac University national poll released today. By a similar 57 – 37 percent margin, voters say health care reform should be dropped if it adds “significantly” to the deficit.

By a 72 – 21 percent margin, voters do not believe that President Barack Obama will keep his promise to overhaul the health care system without adding to the deficit, the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University national poll finds.

American voters disapprove 52 – 39 percent of the way President Obama is handling health care, down from 46 – 42 percent approval July 1, with 60 – 34 percent disapproval from independent voters. Voters say 59 – 36 percent that Congress should not pass health care reform if only Democratic members support it.

Voters oppose 68 – 26 percent requiring people to have health insurance or pay a fine and oppose 68 – 27 percent taxing employees for health care benefits from employers.

But yet, they continue on. because the Agenda is the Agenda. Damn the facts and the people, full speed ahead.

After emerging from a closed-door Democrats-only White House meeting with Senate Democrats Tuesday, President Obama said: “We are on the precipice of an achievement that’s eluded Congresses and presidents for generations, an achievement that will touch the lives of nearly every American.”

Reach out and touch everyone, comrade.

Neville Chamberlain in 1938 disembarked from his plane and told the crowd, “This morning, I had another talk with the German chancellor, Herr Hitler, and here is the paper which bears his name upon it, as well as mine.” Forever, he will be remembered for waving his worthless “piece of paper.”

President Bill Clinton a decade ago told the grand jury investigating whether he committed perjury that “it depends on what the meaning of the word ‘is’ is.” Forever, he will be remembered for twisting language into pretzels to avoid the truth.

President Jimmy Carter in his infamous 1979 “Malaise Speech” blamed Americans for a national “crisis of confidence” and “loss of a unity of purpose for our nation.” Carter’s solution: Carpool and “set your thermostats to save fuel. … I tell you it is an act of patriotism.”

Much of what the president said in his Tuesday statement was patently false. With its heavy regulations, the Senate bill, even stripped of its destructive “public option,” won’t mean that “families will save on their premiums.” Independent studies make it clear that premiums will go up by thousands of dollars.

It also isn’t true that “this will be the largest deficit-reduction plan in over a decade” — and to hear such a promise from the biggest-spending president in his first year in office in history is hard to take.

The president claims “the CBO has said that this is a deficit reduction.” But as Sen. Robert Bennett, R-Utah, who sits on both the appropriations and banking committees, recently told Fox News’ Neil Cavuto, the definition of “deficit-neutral” that Democrats have been using “means it’s going to cost you over $1 trillion, and we are going to find $1 trillion either in Medicare cuts or increased taxes, so that we end up with the same number at the bottom line.”

Speaking of the Congressional Budget Office, after candidate Obama last year promised a $2,500 annual reduction in health premiums annually for average families, the CBO has warned of premium increases of about $5,000 a year.

“Precipice” is right, Mr. President. But with public support at 41% according to IBD/TIPP and 35% according to Gallup — not to mention two-thirds of doctors opposed to Congress’ plan, as IBD/TIPP also found — most Americans clearly don’t want to take a plunge like this.(IBD)

And if they challenge you, just ignore them, call security, have them removed, just go to people who will kiss your ass and not challenge you, or simply just ignore them all together.

After all, they don’t matter.

You’re way more important and so is your Agenda.

That's a Big Bird.

Sleep tight, don’t let the tax bugs bite…

Are they Serious? Yes, They are

An immigration reform bill put forward by congressional Democrats Tuesday offers legal status to the estimated 11 million to 12 million undocumented workers already in the United States. if they pay a $500 fine. It also would allow more foreign nurses and venture capitalists into the U.S. for work. Skeptics say the bill, introduced by the Congressional Hispanic Caucus and other Democrats, amounts to amnesty for illegal immigrants already in the country. U.S. Reps. Raul Grijalva of Tucson and Ed Pastor of Phoenix are part of the Hispanic caucus. They are both Democrats.

In addition to the $500 fine, the proposed bill would allow some deported illegal immigrants to apply for legal status and would lift immigration rules for those charged only with using fake Social Security numbers. (Phoenix Biz Journal)

So just come across the border, get arrested, pay $500 bucks and it’s welcome citizen!

We don’t care if you’re a criminal or a terrorist. Just fork over the cash and put out the welcome mat!

We don’t care.

And if disagree with us, undoubtedly you’re a “right wing” “hater” “racist”.

This has got to be a tweek.

But the fact that they would even propose it as a tweek is just insane.

Why the $%&&*(^&$%##$%^&*( do we even need a border for then if this is the attitude?

**************

In that same vein: Keith Olbermann, ultra-left MSNBC “journalist/commentator” on MSNBC:

On the little known (because no on the liberal media really wants to talk about it) episode recently of “Law & Order: SVU”, a once very respectful spinoff of the the franchise featured a killer who targeted the children of illegal immigrants and in that episode, one of the characters, played by John Larroquette, blamed conservatives “like Bill O’Reilly, Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck” for inciting violence against immigrants.

“Let me give them two windmills to tilt at to start with – there is no liberal media!” Olbermann said. “The media which is, after all, owned by corporations naturally leans to the right. Corporations, by definition, lean to the right, towards the status quo.

So in his view, any corporation by definition right-leaning, even the one he works for. No matter what, a corporation is going to be a money-grubbing, capitalist, right-wing tool. Even the one that pays his salary.

Or yours.

And these evil corporations are the ones that are supposed to bend over and employ the 7+ million that have been unemployed and are the targets of his “jobs summit”.

A bit schizophrenic aren’t we.

Cut done on those double latte frappuccino’s there Keith.

If an American media outlet presents a progressive point of view, the right will exploit the media’s tendency to desperately seek balance. If the progressive says, ‘No, Obama was elected president last year,’ they will mindlessly put in a clip of somebody from the right saying, ‘No, he wasn’t. It didn’t happen.’”

NB: If corporate-owned media is “by definition” right-leaning, no one is telling that to who decides where their campaign contributions are sent. A closer look at “TV/Music/Movie” category on the Center for Responsive Politics Web site, OpenSecrets.org, shows this industry has given overwhelmingly more to Democrats versus Republicans in election cycles dating back to 1990. And to add, Olbermann also neglected to point out the cozy relationship General Electric (NYSE:GE) had with the Obama White House while it owned the NBC family of networks, which included MSNBC.

And Law and Order: SVU airs on…what for it…NBC!

Nonetheless, Olbermann carried on with his rant by once again attempting to link conservative media figures to recent heinous events involving violence.

“The second thing I already mentioned, in the Tiller, Pittsburgh, and Knoxville cases, Beck, Goldberg and O’Reilly clearly incited murderous violence,” Olbermann said. “And Dick Wolf was being over-the-top by comparing Beck, O’Reilly and Limbaugh to disease, because comparing them to disease gives disease a bad name.”

In this case, Olbermann is serious. He is that far gone.

And, of course, the liberal need to condescending , snotty, and childish just overwhelms them.

But so does their bias.

This is from a 2007 Harvard study (not exactly a conservative bastion):

Yep, there's No Bias Here!

Or Here

Then: CNN also had a 4.5% positive story margin (positive stories minus negative stories) for Democrats, and a 27% negative story margin for Republicans. That’s a difference of 31.5%.

FOX had a 12.6% negative story margin for Democrats, and a 10.7% positive story margin for Republicans. That’s a difference of 23.3%.

MSNBC, meanwhile, had a 29.5% positive story margin for Democrats, and an 8.2% positive story margin for Republicans. That’s a difference of 21.3%.

Nope, no bias whatsoever…

And with the Democrats in control of Congress, and and Liberal Socialist in the White House; not to mention the War on FOX News and Talk Radio, that it’s gotten any more “fair”?

Climategate, ACORN, Tea Party “Coverage”,Van Jones, The Czars, Rev Wright, C-Span “Transparency”, 10,000 Earmarks, Opposition to Health Care Reform is tantamount to slavery, anyone?

“See, it’s not so terrible, Republicans! We aren’t that biased, when you consider than we’re not really paying attention to you, anyway.” (Willism)

And it ain’t just here folks: From our friends in the UK

The Burton Mail Newspaper:

A Royal British Legion boss says vandals have “dishonoured those who have given their lives for our country” by defacing Burtonʼs war memorial.

Dennis Fletcher, chairman of East Staffordshire Racial Equality Council, said he suspected someone from the far right was responsible.

“I suspect members of the far right have done this to stir things up and there are generally very good inter-cultural relations in East Staffordshire.“

“Graffiti of any type is terrible but when it includes racist material it has to be considered utterly unacceptable.”

The Mail has manipulated the main picture to remove some of the content of the message.

What was the message?:

The "right wing" hate-mongers Message

Yeah, I’m pretty sure the “racist” “far right” was responsible for that message. After all, radical Muslims in the UK never ever express such sentiments in public.

Good thing the American Mainstream Never-Biased Media would never try to pull a stunt like that!

Don Corleoni Obama

Today, Don Barack Obama Corleoni, of the Chicago Community Organizer Mob is calling the 60 Democrats into his House to “discuss” the Health Care Bills passage.

Changing it just a bit:  “I’m gonna make them an offer they can’t refuse.” said Don Obama,” “Staff held a gun to their heads and Speaker assured them that either their brains, or their signatures, would be on the contract. That’s a true story. That’s my family, Harry, it’s not me.”

Should we be checking the Potomac to see if anyone is Swimming with The Fishes tomorrow?

Or maybe we can ask Jimmy Hoffa?

Bet the Ministry of Truth will try and hide this as much as possible:

IBD: Department of Health and Human Services’ Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services that says health “reform” will mean the opposite of its advertised promises.

Reform was supposed to be about reducing ever-increasing costs. But HHS says that under the bill now being steamrolled through Congress, total health costs over the next decade (now estimated at $2.5 trillion) “would increase by about 0.7%” over what would take place if we made no changes at all.

Well, someone’s bonuses are going to be politically incorrect coal in the stocking.

And the plan to “save” nearly $500 billion in Medicare costs that Democratic leaders ask us all not to worry about? The result would be cuts in services as providers and physicians who take Medicare patients “could find it difficult to remain profitable and, absent legislative intervention, might end their participation in the program (possibly jeopardizing access to care for beneficiaries).”

According to HHS, because “individuals with health problems or who anticipate a greater risk of functional limitation would be more likely to participate than those in better-than-average health,” premiums would rise and rise, causing an “insurance death spiral” and making the program “unsustainable.”

Actually, after Congress and the president get through wrecking the finest health care system in the world, there would remain “an estimated 24 million” Americans still without health insurance 10 years from now.

So how’s that MANDATORY insurance working?

The IRS will jail you if you don’t pay?

And are half of those the ILLEGAL ALIENS?

Hope and Change!

From the Circus in Copenhagen:

A source close to Britain’s negotiating team  said Britain would continue to press publicly for a deal in line with the IPCC’s recommendation, but acknowledged that the targets emerging from the summit would need to be reconsidered at a later date.

How does the careful parsing of the Times’ source piece translate? “To acknowledge the mighty pressure — to at least appear to be ’signing something’ — the industrialized nations might agree to a set of admission standards that can’t realistically be met with the intent to review standards in six years”?

The Times says that (Former Prime Minister) Blair admits that recent developments of leaked e-mails from the leading climate change research institution in the world have caused doubt about when world temperatures might be rising and by how much: “When you come to very precise dates, percentages and so on … then the figures are somewhat more fudgeable.” (AT)

When an overblown environmental conference culminates with Zimbabwe’s Robert Mugabe, Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez and Iran’s Mahmoud Ahmadinejad lecturing the West on virtue, color it another shakedown.

The United Nations’ Copenhagen Climate Conference is going fast into meltdown. It may be because it’s not about climate anymore, but fitting a noose on the world’s productive economies and extracting wealth transfers.

Poor countries have gone from defending their right to economic development as a reason for exemptions to emissions cuts to claiming a “legitimate” right to vast wealth transfers from the West to prevent emissions. They call it “climate justice.”
Leaders of fifty African nations came to Copenhagen asking $400 billion for the next three years to “offset” carbon credit “damages” which they claim to suffer. Inexplicably, two days ago, that demand was increased to an eye-goggling 5% of GDP (gross domestic product), estimated at $722 billion from the United States alone. There never was a response from the industrialized world.(IBD)

I can’t wait for the starving Ethiopian Kids again. (not to be thought heartless, do you know what happened to all that food the last time? Look it up, it wasn’t pretty.)

The shameful thing about the London Times story is that if it is true, the liberal American news media have either missed or studiously ignored the story of the century: “global warming fraud” and the aborted attempt to craft a worldwide, economy-busting treaty based on fake science.(AT)

Time for Don Barack Obama Corleoni to jet his carbon-footprint self again (His 3rd trip to Scandinavia this year) over there and whip them boys back into shape Chicago-Style.

THE RECESSION IS OVER

“Today everybody agrees that the recession is over. The questions are around how fast we’ll recover.”Director of the White House’s National Economic Council on CNN’s State of the Union.

Didn’t they proclaim it over already once before? and did someone miss the memo:

Take his colleague, Council of Economic Advisors Chairwoman Christina Romer. On NBC’s Meet the Press, she offered a very different definition of recovery: “You’re not recovered until all those people that want to work are back to work.”

David Gregory wanted to be clear: “So in your mind, this recession is not over.” “Of course not,” replied Romer. “The people on Main Street and throughout this country, they are still suffering. The unemployment rate is still 10 percent.”

State of the Union host John King,”To be fair, Summers was speaking from a technical perspective; Romer more from the views of an American who still lacked a job despite some more encouraging recent economic data.”

Good spin cover. Nice “Journalism” there, dude.

True. But which advisor will Obama be listening to as he heads into a midterm election in which his poll numbers are dropping while unemployment numbers continue to rise? (Huffington Post)

And this the White House that is absolutely sure that spending Trillions of dollars on health care “reform” will lower the deficit.

Sure, whatever…

“What’s a bit ironic to me is they were able to figure out how to help the big banks without any summit,” Rep. Marcy Kaptur, co-chairman of the Jobs Now! Caucus, told the Washington Post. “But now that they are talking about helping people, it is a year later and they need a summit. What is that all about?”

And they exclude some of the biggest groups, like the US Chamber of Commerce. from the summit because they had been critical of Obama.

What a way to run a railroad. Right off into the ditch. But don’t worry, it’s still the Republicans fault!

The White House thinks it can jawbone banks into lending to people they don’t want to lend to. We’ve been down this road before, and it led all the way to the 2007 financial meltdown.

Fannie & Freddie and “affordable” housing mortgage rates anyone??

Besides, as economist Thomas Sowell noted in a recent series in IBD, our current economic ills are largely due to just the kind of government meddling we now see in the financial markets.

So maybe we need something other than Chicago Style, less deep dish economics and more of a  thin crust tradition.

Mr B+ speak with Forked Tongue

Comedy Line of the Year: President Obama tells Oprah Winfrey: I deserve a B+ for my first 11 months in White House.

He also said America has “reset” its prestige in the world and made progress toward halting development of nuclear weapons in Iran and North Korea.

Passage of health care reform would boost his grade to an A-, he said. Until Americans get back to work, he said, “I can’t give myself the grade I’d like.”

Isn’t narcissism a wonderful thing.

There is a 10% unemployment rate (15-20 really). 7+ Million People are out of work (except for government bureaucrats who are thriving).

The worst in a generation.

More people are being laid off. Business are closing left and right.

People are suffering everywhere.

The looming tax crush is coming.

His approval rate hits an all-time low at 44%.

The majority American people are against just about every word he utters.

So what does Mr B+/A- want to do.

Destroy wealthy people.

Not wealthy Liberals like Al Gore and George Soros certainly.

Just the “evil rich” that liberals are so enamored with Robin-Hooding in the worst way (although the Robin Hood of legend stole from the rich and actually gave it to the poor. That’s not what will happen here.)

Forbes (The bible of the evil rich) )The Internal Revenue Service has created a new enforcement unit to target high-net-worth individuals with complex financial holdings. To read these accounts, you might be led to believe that this Global High Wealth Industry group (GHWI), as it’s called, is a kind of financial SWAT team, poised to pounce on you and your assets at any moment.

Big Brother is on the Hunt and he wants to raid your rabbit hole and crack open your piggy banks!

Mind you, this unit isn’t after just the super rich, but anyone, who might have a Million dollars hiding somewhere trying to retain it’s value as Mr B+ runs the dollar in the toilet.

Just to give you an idea: The Canadian Dollar.

I grew up in Michigan. During the Oil Embargo and the gas lines on the early 70’s Michiganders routinely went over to Canada because the gas was at “20% cheaper over there” people said. I knew lots of people who did this.

The exchange rate was always in our favor.

In 1993 : The Canadian Dollar bought .75 cents American. It’s low peaked at 63 cents in 2001.  It was nearly even when Democrats Congress took  over in 2007. Now the Canadian Dollar Buys $1.04 American.

The Canadian Dollar is worth more than the US dollar, Mr B+.

So our currency is in the toilet like it has never been in my lifetime, and liberal have a mad on for redistribution of wealth (confiscation more like), so why not go all SWAT on rich people. Make them pay!

Problem is, ever gotten a job from a Welfare recipient?

A company that employs thousands of people, is it headed by the guy who lives at YMCA??

Or how about that back bone of America, the small business guy. What if he’s just trying to keep the value of what he has.

I’m sorry, you’re too rich, Mr B+ wants your money!

He wants to crush you with Taxes (payroll and otherwise)

He wants to sick the IRS raptor bloodhounds on you.

He wants to crush you with the EPA and/or Cap & Trade.

He wants to tap your investments.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has stated that House Bill HR4191, the financial transactions tax bill, would have to be made global to keep U.S. investors from taking their capital markets transactions overseas. This financial transactions tax would levy a separate tax of 0.25% on all stock, futures, swap, and stock option trades. The goal is to raise $150 billion every year to help lower massive federal deficits, and it is being promoted on Main Street as a way to make Wall Street pay.

E-Trade. Your 401K anyone?

“I believe that the transaction tax still has a great deal of merit,” Pelosi told reporters. “The concern that many of us or others have had is that it will send … transactions overseas.”

D’Oh!

“We have now gained access to thousands of taxpayers and bank accounts that we have never had before,” IRS Commissioner Shulman told reporters in a conference call in Washington. “It has sent a shock wave around the world. It has showed we are serious about piercing the veil of bank secrecy.”(etaiwan)

The IRS plans to hire 800 people in the next year and increase staff in eight overseas offices, including Hong Kong, Shulman said last month. The agency also will open offices in Beijing, Sydney and Panama City.”This is a mega-trend, and the IRS is going global,” William Sharp, a lawyer at Sharp Kemm PA in Tampa, Florida, said before the criteria were released.

They will hunt you down and destroy you. Now matter where you go, we will find you. You can escape the wrath of the liberal!

And, oh by the way, could you invest in hiring people please. There’s a recession on, that’s a good chap

In reality, it is obviously a tax on investment and savings. Every 401(k), mutual fund, and IRA investment that buys any investment would be affected by this tax.

“Proponents of a transaction tax argue that a small 0.25 percent tax on stocks would be paid for by the highly paid financial traders and would not affect most Americans,” reads the letter. “This is simply not true. A tax on stock transactions would be passed through by brokers and affect every single person who owns and invests in stocks from small business owners to senior citizens.” The British attempted to issue a Stamp Tax on their colonies in the 1700s. How did that turn out for them?

So yet another “soak the rich” envy scheme ends in you getting soaked.

Anyone up for some Tea in Boston??

Oh, and what are they going to be doing with this flush of cash (and, of course, the massive job hirings that all of this will spur ):

Pay down the 14+ trillion dollar deficit?

What do you think?

Obama March 4, 2009 (CNN): The president on Wednesday pledged turn tide on an “era of fiscal irresponsibility,” reiterating his campaign promise that the days of “pork … as a strategy” are over.

A $1.1 trillion spending bill laced with budget increases and more than 5,000 congressional pet projects passed the House on Thursday.

Heritage: Includes approximately 5,224 earmarks, bringing the FY 2010 total to 8,939, with a pork-laden defense bill expected to push the final total over 10,000.

Obama March 4, 2009: Obama last week praised the $787 billion stimulus package signed into law, telling the nation, “I’m proud that we passed a recovery plan free of earmarks, and I want to pass a budget next year that ensures that each dollar we spend reflects only our most important national priorities.”

As you may recall, there were thousands of earmarks (pork) in the bill, like Nearly $1.8 million for pig odor research in Iowa.

It’s the stench of pork in D.C. Everyone should be worried about!!

Like–Porkulus December 2009:

• An $8 million project to build a “Talking Water Gardens” at the Albany, OR  sewage treatment plant.
• A fish sculpture in Kennewick, WA, part of $122,000 for the Columbia Park Overlook Project.
• $50,000 to the Washington Parks and Recreation Commission to host Asian music, dance and puppet shows.
• Speaking of beneficiaries, the omnibus bill contains a $473,000 earmark for La Raza, which has called for Mexico to annex the southwestern states.
• The omnibus bill also contains more funding for ACORN, which has been implicated in voter fraud in several states. Rep. Jeff Flake, R-AZ, also discovered that more than $7 million in earmarks are targeted for clients of the former PMA – currently under investigation by the FBI for campaign fraud.
• So here we are, in the middle of a full-blown economic crisis, and Congress is still planning to fund a planetarium in Peoria, potato cloning in Maine, and a “World Trade Center” in Montana. There’s even a $5.8 million earmark for the “Ted Kennedy Institute for the Senate”

And many news sources say this bill was done now so that they didn’t have do anymore spending bills during the 2010 lie-up-my-ass, kiss your ass 2010 elections (kissing your ass with the pork they said they won’t do, by the way).

That would be the same ass they are kicking with all these wonderful new taxes and regulations and IRS raptors everywhere on you and your boss and your potential boss.

That will have a positive effect all around.

Hope and  Change!

Yes We Can!

Rep. Leonard Boswell, D-Iowa, “I am sure there are millions of dollars that have been wasted in this legislation on these parochial projects.”

So belly up to the trough boys, Feed The PIG!

The deficit for 2009 is said to be 1.4 Trillion alone. And for 2010: 1.5 Trillion.

They did such a fantastic job in 2009 they want to spend even more in 2010.

WT: The bill, which funds most domestic federal agencies for the rest of this fiscal year, marks a 12 percent spending increase. Democrats said the spending was needed to counter neglect during the past eight years and that the money would act as another stimulus to create government jobs.

NOT PRIVATE SECTOR JOBS, just government jobs!

But don’t worry, it’s STILL all George W Bush & the Republicans fault!

Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-MD on criticism of the Omnibus bill, “You can’t spell ‘earmark’ without an R.” but 60 percent of the pork are sponsored by his fellow Democrats.

The omniporkus bill contains an eight percent increase over baseline spending at twice the rate of inflation, representing the largest discretionary spending hike since the “malaise” days of Jimmy Carter. (Washington Examiner)

That certainly deserves a B+, Mr President.

Well Done.  A+

I Reject Your Watermelon Reality

Yesterday, the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, speaking in the Danish capital, appealed for people to start loving and caring for their world.

Addressing a congregation including Queen Margrethe of Denmark and senior international politicians he called for a scaling down of the extravagant use of energy and the amount of waste across the planet. “These things will only happen if we learn to love the world we live in,” he said.

Williams, a passionate believer in the need for control of the causes of climate change, has had strong words for those who deny that man’s activities are not responsible for the current phase of global warming.

“Don’t please listen to those who say that there is some kind of choice to be made between looking after human beings and looking after the planet. It is one of the most foolish errors around these days,” he said. (UK Guardian)

So now, on top of “idiots”, “morons”,”deniers”,”saboteurs”,”Dupes”,”flat-earthers” now we’re just fools.

Do liberals ever stop insulting people.

Is it even possible for them not to?

I seriously doubt it.

James Delingpole (UK Telegraph): Truth to left-liberals is like garlic to vampires, so I suppose it’s no wonder the world’s watermelons (green on the outside, red on the inside) have been reacting so badly to Climategate.

I think I see a future bumper sticker in that one. It made me laugh so hard.

And you have to see this as well: (No audio)

http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/jamesdelingpole/100019671/climategate-the-video-everyone-should-see/

“For humanity it’s a matter of life or death,” he said. “We will not make all human beings extinct as a few people with the right sort of resources may put themselves in the right parts of the world and survive. “Professor Kevin Anderson, director of the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change (Jenny Fyfall)

The right resources??

By the way, the Tyndall Center looms large in the CRU “Climategate” emails.

Obama jetted to Oslo to pick his piece prize and then jetted back. And in less than week will jet back to Scandanavia to say how evil we are for polluting the world.

Did I miss something?   Or is that quite a wasteful Carbon Footprint, Mr. President.

The International Energy Agency estimates that halving global emissions by 2050 would cost $45 trillion. That is $45 trillion above the cost of fossil fuel energy that would not be spent to create wealth. That would take a big bite out of global prosperity. Much is said about the so-called “consensus” on climate science, but the economic consensus is that reducing emissions reduces economic growth.(NB)

But since a 12 Trillion dollar debt means we can spend even more to liberals in this country whats a few trillion more.

It’s all meaningless to them.

You can “save the planet” from the evil humans.

But there won’t be anyone left to afford it, or enjoy it.

Except maybe the True Believers:

But who is it that sponsors the (UK) Guardian’s Environment pages and eco conferences? Why, only that famous non-fossil-fuel company Shell. (Though I notice their logo no longer appears on top of the Guardian’s eco pages: has the Guardian decided the relationship was just too embarrassing to be, er, sustainable?)

And which company has one of the largest carbon trading desks in London, cashing in on industry currently worth around $120 billion – an industry which could not possibly exist without pan-global governmental CO2 emissions laws ? BP (which stands for British Petroleum)

And how much has Indian steel king Lakshmi Mittal made from carbon credits thanks to Europe’s Emissions Trading Scheme? £1 billion.

And which companies were the  CRU scientists revealed cosying up to as early as 2000 in the Climategate emails? There’s a clue in this line here: “Had a very good meeting with Shell yesterday.”

And how much was Phil Jones, director of the discredited CRU, found to have collected in grants since 1990? £13.7 million ($22.7 million)

And why does this Executive Vice-Chairman of Rothschild’s bank sound so enthusiastic in this (frankly terrifying) letter about the prospects of the “new world order” (his phrase not mine) which result from globally regulated carbon trading?

Or why not try this blog, in which a German Green party MP is revealed being given hefty donations by a solar power company?

Or how about this tiny $7o million donation to the climate change industry from the Rockefeller Foundation?

Al Gores has a Carbon Trading Company that stands to make Billions.

Gore himself is chairman and founder of a private equity firm called Generation Investment Management (GIM). He says the London-based firm invests money from institutions and wealthy investors in companies that are becoming environmentally-friendly, to use green parlance. GIM appears to have considerable influence over major carbon credit trading firms: the U.S.-based Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX) and the U.K.-based Carbon Neutral Company (CNC). CCX appears to be the only firm in the U.S. that claims to trade carbon credits.

Gore’s Senior Partner (from their website) : David Blood is Senior Partner of Generation Investment Management, a fund management business dedicated to long term investment and integrated sustainability research. Previously, David served as co-CEO and CEO of Goldman Sachs Asset Management.

The Chief Investment officer also worked for David Blood.

Chief Operating Officer’s firm was acquired by Goldman Sachs.

Now where have I heard Goldman Sachs before?

TARP Stimulus anyone?

Even though Blood left in 2004 to found GIM with Gore, who mysterious had a Movie come out 2 years later full of doom and despair and agony for everyone.

Everyone except him, of  course.

The Lord of Doom has become very rich off it.

Al Gore could become world’s first carbon billionaire

(UK telegraph headline 11/3/2009)

So maybe we should all just forget what’s truth is  and go where the money is, like Lord Doom.

Oh, wait, that’s what liberals think of capitalism.

My Bad

I’m such a fool.

How to Be Evil Rich in a Recession

Become a Federal bureaucratic cog.

And with 111 new agencies for Health Care alone there will be plenty of opportunities to join the machine.

No wonder the money druggie Congress can’t stop spending.

It’s a pandemic virus out of control. Only the doctors are the patients.

The New Swine Flu. Only, the politicians are the  pork-fed Swine.

USAToday:  The number of federal workers earning six-figure salaries has exploded during the recession, according to a USA TODAY analysis of federal salary data.

Federal employees making salaries of $100,000 or more jumped from 14% to 19% of civil servants during the recession’s first 18 months — and that’s before overtime pay and bonuses are counted.

Federal workers are enjoying an extraordinary boom time — in pay and hiring — during a recession that has cost 7.3 million jobs in the private sector.

The private sector= Evil rich corporations raping America. Fat-cat CEO’s who get massive bonuses.

The highest-paid federal employees are doing best of all on salary increases. Defense Department civilian employees earning $150,000 or more increased from 1,868 in December 2007 to 10,100 in June 2009, the most recent figure available.

When the recession started, the Transportation Department had only one person earning a salary of $170,000 or more. Eighteen months later, 1,690 employees had salaries above $170,000.

The trend to six-figure salaries is occurring throughout the federal government, in agencies big and small, high-tech and low-tech. The primary cause: substantial pay raises and new salary rules.

“There’s no way to justify this to the American people. It’s ridiculous,” says Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, a first-term lawmaker who is on the House’s federal workforce subcommittee.

Oh, but they’ll try.

And the have FEHBP, the diamond platinum best-in-the history-of-mankind Health Care plan that they don’t want to share with you. No, you get ObamaCare filled with massive taxes, rationing, and cuts to seniors care.

Isn’t that special!

USA TODAY analyzed the Office of Personnel Management’s database that tracks salaries of more than 2 million federal workers. Excluded from OPM’s data: the White House, Congress, the Postal Service, intelligence agencies and uniformed military personnel.

The growth in six-figure salaries has pushed the average federal worker’s pay to $71,206, compared with $40,331 in the private sector.

•Pay hikes. Then-president Bush recommended — and Congress approved — across-the-board raises of 3% in January 2008 and 3.9% in January 2009. President Obama has recommended 2% pay raises in January 2010, the smallest since 1975. Most federal workers also get longevity pay hikes — called steps — that average 1.5% per year.

•New pay system. Congress created a new National Security Personnel System for the Defense Department to reward merit, in addition to the across-the-board increases. The merit raises, which started in January 2008, were larger than expected and rewarded high-ranking employees. In October, Congress voted to end the new pay scale by 2012.

•Pay caps eased. Many top civil servants are prohibited from making more than an agency’s leader. But if Congress lifts the boss’ salary, others get raises, too. When the Federal Aviation Administration chief’s salary rose, nearly 1,700 employees’ had their salaries lifted above $170,000, too.

But they want a “pay Czar” to reign in runaway CEO’s. But runaway federal agency members and administrators?

The Sky’s the limit.

NRO: Most remarkably, there are fully 383,000 federal workers earning six-figure salaries and 22,000 earning salaries of over $170,000. And these numbers don’t even include the $41,000 in non-salary benefits the average federal employee receives each year.

The number of civil servants making $100,000 or more has jumped over 46 percent since the start of the recession.

Under Bush & Obama I might add, before the liberals get all Bush Deranged.

The Washington metropolitan area received nearly 10 times as much stimulus money per capita as the national average, keeping the unemployment rate in the area at 6.2 percent, far below rates of other large cities—9.3 percent in New York; over 10 percent in Chicago, Atlanta and Los Angeles—and the national average of 10.2 percent. 14.3 in Michigan.

Did you know that more than 50% of the richest counties in America surround Washington D.C?? and only 4 out the top 15 are in the evil capital Wall-street area of New York City??

And the 4 out of the 5 top richest Congressman are Democrats.

Recovery Act funding alone has fed the creation of 407,000 government contract jobs—or two thirds of all jobs “created” under the Act—according to one independent analysis. And during a time when most businesses are downsizing, the federal government itself actually grew by 13,000 employees in the last year—the first increase since the 1970s.

So do you think Obama’s “Jobs” summit and  “jobs” campaign tour is about getting more Federal jobs?

After all, the private sector is full of evil capitalists.

IDB: Among the countless absurdities built into the federal salary system is the mandate that when the head of an agency gets a raise, lots of his underlings automatically do too. That’s what happens when it’s play money you’re handling, which is what Washington thinks the revenues provided by the people who give politicians their jobs is.

No wonder Liberal love government so much, they can pork themselves and they can pretend to care about their “dependents” (you and me) while screwing the “dependents” for their own benefit.

It’s all free. No consequences. And Endless.

Utopia Awaits!

What a deal.

Democratic Underground (one the most far left sites out there) poster:  I don’t find the comparison with what a non-corrupt people’s government would produce and what corrupt corporations produce to be meaningful.
A people’s government should produce health for the nation — unfortunately, right now it’s producing disease.
Oh, corporations are part of the sickness of America — and a large part of producing the harm causing our sickness.

I think this person, and Congress, have forgotten what a representative Constitutional Republic is.

Alternet (another liberal site):  When we speak of the ungodly amounts of money that Wall Street scions make, it’s generally accepted that most don’t need to be making nearly as much as they are for two main reasons. One, it’s plainly wasteful; and two, the financial collapse is a pretty good indication of how inversely proportional those enormous bankers’ salaries are to the societal benefit they create.

The first part of that argument can and ought be extended to the public sector, where salaries are paid for by the same financially burdened taxpayers who have made clear they don’t want bailed-out banks to give executives big raises and bonuses. The federal government could use a pay czar, too.

Perhaps the money saved by instituting more recession-sensitive salary levels for federal employees could be redistributed to the states, where many public employees are being laid off, key social programs and offices whittled away, and offerings cut by public school systems in order to make ends meet.

Bonuses and raises are fine incentives for excellent work, but these days, simply having work — especially the kind of good, stable, living wage-level work that federal employment guarantees — ought be incentive enough.

But since government produces nothing and is not accountable to profit and loss why should they care.

Since June, (so no Bush Derangement here) the federal government has increased employment by almost 10 percent, while the private sector has cut employment by over 6 percent. And which sector do you figure was more padded to begin with?

Sen. Max Baucus’ office defends his girlfriend’s big pay raise (the job he got her at the Justice Dept-a pay raise of close to $14,000 to staffer Melodee Hanes last year, as he was becoming sexually involved with her. Baucus was separated from his now ex-wife at the time) by pointing to the raises others living off the taxpayer spigot got. What sympathy for the 10% of Americans suffering unemployment.

As the Politico reports, a few months later Baucus took Hanes “on a taxpayer-funded trip to Vietnam and the Middle East, though foreign policy was not her specialty.” In Washington, they call that on-the-job training — except that Baucus then nominated her for U.S. attorney in Montana (where he’s the Senator from), where Asian and Arab expertise is rarely useful in court.

Don’t they call that a Pimp and his ho?

Not in D.C.

A Baucus spokesman’s excuse: “Ms. Hanes’ salary increased by the exact same amount as our legislative director and less than our chief of staff.” Does the senator really think that makes the 7 million ordinary Joes without work feel better?

IBD: If you didn’t think the Democrats in power in Washington are doing enough to spark a people’s rebellion, just look at their latest shenanigans.

Congress is raising the federal debt ceiling by as much as $1.8 trillion in hopes that next October, when Republicans will be pounding them on this, voters won’t remember what they were up to way back in December of 2009.

But that astronomical amount is twice what was baked into their budget resolution earlier this year. When asked about so much red ink, House Appropriations Committee Chairman David Obey, D-Wis., just shrugged and told the Politico: “The credit card has already been used. When you get the bill in the mail you need to pay it.”

For most normal people that’s when you STOP USING IT!!!

You get counseling.

Do something other than ignore it.

But the federal credit card is has no limit.

And we have porkaholics with their hands on it.

But just remember, they care about the little people in the private sector.

You’re the source of their drug.

The current debt ceiling of $12.1 trillion is now not enough for Congress to live under — though only a fraction of the $787 billion stimulus passed earlier this year has been spent. And a $447 billion bill for Cabinet and other agencies is set for enactment, increasing spending by as much as 10%.

But, remember, these are the people who screamed and yelled and ranted until they turned blue in the face about how immoral and unethical it was for the Republican to be running up so much debt and that Bush was evil

Well, now that they have they’ve bathed in that pie I guess it’s not so bad after all.

They kind of like it here.

Mayo Clinic Defintion of Drug Addiction: When you’re addicted, you may not be able to control your drug use and you may continue using the drug despite the harm it causes. Drug addiction can cause an intense craving for the drug. You may want to quit, but most people find they can’t do it on their own.

As time passes, you may need larger doses of the drug to get high. Soon you may need the drug just to feel good. As your drug use increases, you may find that it becomes increasingly difficult to go without the drug. Stopping may cause intense cravings and make you feel physically ill (withdrawal symptoms).

Drug addiction symptoms or behaviors include:

• Feeling that you have to use the drug regularly — this can be daily or even several times a day
• Failing in your attempts to stop using the drug
• Making certain that you maintain a supply of the drug
• Spending money on the drug even though you can’t afford it
• Doing things to obtain the drug that you normally wouldn’t do, such as stealing
• Feeling that you need the drug to deal with your problems
• Focusing more and more time and energy on getting and using the drug

And Washington’s drug is the Money that begets power.

Power is the ultimate goal, but you need the money to get there.

And you, the taxpayer are the source.

They are the junkie.

And they thousands of minions in the cog of the bureaucracy that they have so satisfy also.

After, it’s a no-limit credit card.

$12,100,000,000,000 is just a number.

adding 1.8-1.9 trillion to it : $14,000,000,000,000

It doesn’t mean anything.

It’s all monopoly money to them.

And it sure doesn’t mean putting the Federal gravy train on a diet!

We have come for your Children!

More scary fun from the True Believers. Global Warming. Population Control and Orwell.

Two weeks before that Holiday that can not be named because it’s insensitive and politically incorrect.

“It’s a principle. It’s like gravity. it exists.”, “it’s a principle in physics”.-The Lord of Doom Al Gore on Global Warming.

Well, we have the new McCarthyism: Are you now or have you ever been a Global Warming/Climate Change Denier?

WSJ: The Met Office, Britain’s national weather service, “has embarked on an urgent exercise to bolster the reputation of climate-change science” in the wake of a whistle-blower’s revelation of widespread misconduct by climate scientists…

London’s Times reports: John Hirst, the Met Office chief executive, and Julia Slingo, its chief scientist, wrote to 70 colleagues on Sunday asking them to sign “to defend our profession against this unprecedented attack to discredit us and the science of climate change”. They asked them to forward the petition to colleagues to generate support “for a simple statement that we . . . have the utmost confidence in the science base that underpins the evidence for global warming”.

More than 1,700 scientists have agreed to sign a statement defending the “professional integrity” of global warming research. They were responding to a round-robin request from the Met Office, which has spent four days collecting signatures. . . .

WSJ: The problem with the petition as a form is also a problem with the Met Office petition’s substance. The purpose of the petition is to shore up scientists’ authority by vouching for their integrity. But signing a loyalty oath under pressure from the government is itself a corrupt act. Anyone who signs this petition thereby raises doubts about his own integrity. And once again, the question arises: Why should any layman regard global warmism as credible when the “consensus” rests on political machinations, statistical tricks and efforts to suppress alternative hypotheses?

Would anyone who would sign this silly thing be credible?

Science by petition.

Can we pass around a petition to declare the earth flat?

One scientist told The Times he felt under pressure to sign. “The Met Office is a major employer of scientists and has long had a policy of only appointing and working with those who subscribe to their views on man-made global warming,” he said.

The concept of scientists–or journalists, or artists–signing a petition is ludicrous. The idea is that they are lending their authority to whatever cause the petition represents–but in fact they are undermining that authority, which is based on the presumption that they think for themselves.

So on the back of this, more fun news from the Copenhagen Circus:

IBD:  Calls for forced population control as a means to conquer global warming are in the news this week. We knew the Copenhagen climate conference would keep drawing out the cranks.

‘Humans are overpopulating the world,” Diane Francis, a staff writer for Canada’s National Post, said in Tuesday’s edition.

“A planetary law, such as China’s one-child policy, is the only way to reverse the disastrous global birthrate currently, which is one million births every four days.”

Zhao Baige, a member of the China delegation at Copenhagen, holds a similar view, according to a report from China Daily.

“Dealing with climate change is not simply an issue of CO2 emission reduction but a comprehensive challenge involving political, economic, social, cultural and ecological issues, and the population concern fits right into the picture,” Zhao, vice minister of the National Population and Family Planning Commission of China, said from the conference.

Remember, CO2 is a toxin harmful to human life according to the EPA and it must be controlled!

So, one way to do that is to control how many people are around.

And amongst the tools in this shed is control of your birth, or prohibited lack of one, that is.

And if the government is control of Health Care, well…

“Death Panels” anyone?

Forced Sterlization. Force Abortions (Health Care anyone?).

Forced abortions. Mass sterilization. A “Planetary Regime” with the power of life and death over American citizens.

The tyrannical fantasies of a madman? Or merely the opinions of the person now in control of science policy in the United States? Or both?

These ideas (among many other equally horrifying recommendations) were put forth by John Holdren, whom Barack Obama has recently appointed Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, Assistant to the President for Science and Technology, and Co-Chair of the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology — informally known as the United States’ Science Czar. In a book Holdren co-authored in 1977,Ecoscience ,the man now firmly in control of science policy in this country wrote that:

• Women could be forced to abort their pregnancies, whether they wanted to or not;
• The population at large could be sterilized by infertility drugs intentionally put into the nation’s drinking water or in food;
• Single mothers and teen mothers should have their babies seized from them against their will and given away to other couples to raise;
• People who “contribute to social deterioration” (i.e. undesirables) “can be required by law to exercise reproductive responsibility” — in other words, be compelled to have abortions or be sterilized.
• A transnational “Planetary Regime” should assume control of the global economy and also dictate the most intimate details of Americans’ lives — using an armed international police force.

Impossible, you say? That must be an exaggeration or a hoax. No one in their right mind would say such things.

The EPA’s “command and control” threats. A very Maoist Science Czar, and Climategate showing scientist manipulating data for their own agenda.

To control you. To control everyone and everything you do. From the moment of birth to the moment of death.

Think I’m a little to conspiratorial:

Alternet: Half-baked Homeland Security is spending millions to develop sensors capable of detecting a
person’s level of ‘malintent’ as a counterterrorism tool.

Malintent, being detecting whether you’re in a bad mood or angry so you might be a terrorist!

Or at the very least someone who is not in tune with Big Brother.

This jewel of an idea was dream up by the Peter Principle’s star pupil, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napalitano.

This past February, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) awarded a one-year, $2.6  million grant to the Cambridge, MA.-based Charles Stark Draper Laboratory to develop computerized sensors capable of detecting a person’s level of “malintent” — or intention to  do harm. It’s only the most recent of numerous contracts awarded to Draper and assorted  research outfits by the U.S. government over the past few years under the auspices of a
project called “Future Attribute Screening Technologies,” or FAST. It’s the next wave of  behavior surveillance from DHS and taxpayers have paid some $20 million on it so far.

It’s part of a broader “initiative to develop innovative, non-invasive technologies to screen people at security checkpoints,” according to DHS.

But how long before it comes to TV or a Mall or street or anything where a sensor can be placed?

So when you’re angry because you’re late for your flight, be zen or else you could be a terrorist and be even later.

So smile, be happy. OR ELSE!

Orwell’s 1984 excerpt:  The telescreen received and transmitted simultaneously. Any sound that Winston made, above the level of a very low whisper, would be picked up by it, moreover, so long as he remained within the field of vision which the metal plaque commanded, he could be seen as well as heard. There was of course no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any given moment. How often, or on what system, the Thought Police plugged in on any individual wire was guesswork. It was even conceivable that they watched everybody all the time. But at any rate they could plug in your wire whenever they wanted to. You had to live — did live, from habit that became instinct — in the assumption that every sound you made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every movement scrutinized.

Back to Population Control: Those who support population control are not enlightened thinkers, though they hold themselves to be. Quite often, “progressive” population control proponents have been racists who would use eugenics to ensure that “deficient” humans don’t dilute the gene pool.

Hitler, Mao,  Stalin, etc. Anyone?

Or maybe People who “contribute to social deterioration” as Science Czar John Holdren said in his co-authored book.

And if you’re angry, and you breathe too much CO2, and drive too big a car, and use too much electricity, or cost too much for Health Care, or have too many children…well, we’ll just have do something about you….

You say, I’m going too far?

I say, why?

If you’re a true believer in the Religion of Liberalism, and/or Global Warming, why wouldn’t you want to control everyone and everything for their own good and won’t it make you feel so much better that you are doing something to save the planet!

The ends justify the means!

I say, I probably can’t even conceive the heights of totalitarianism that the true believers could come up with.

The Chinese delegate also cited the UN’s own 2009 State of World Population report, which suggests that if the global population remains at 8 billion by the year 2050 instead of increasing to just over 9 billion, as projected, “it might result in 1 billion to 2 billion fewer tons of carbon emissions”.

Of course, the fact that somewhere in the region of twenty-five million men in China are unable to find brides because so many girls are murdered shortly after birth was somewhat glossed over by the Chinese delegate:

“I’m not saying that what we have done is 100 percent right, but I’m sure we are going in the right direction and now 1.3 billion people have benefited,” she said.

And China has done it largely by education. And who’s largely in charge of the US educational system, Liberals. True Believers.

Remember this:

A suggested lesson plan that calls on students to write letters to themselves about what they can do to help President Obama following his address to students nationwide is troubling and establishes the president as a “superintendent in chief,” education experts told FOXNews.com.

Video of the students at the Burlington, N.J., school shows them singing songs seemingly overflowing with campaign slogans and praise for “Barack Hussein Obama,” repeatedly chanting the president’s name and celebrating his accomplishments, including his “great plans” to “make this country’s economy No. 1 again.”

One song that the children were taught quotes directly from the spiritual “Jesus Loves the Little Children,” though Jesus’ name is replaced with Obama’s: “He said red, yellow, black or white/All are equal in his sight. Barack Hussein Obama.”‘

Ms. Carney-Nunes , award-winning Children’s author,invited to the school to teach the children the song and about her book, “I am Barack Obama?” and we got the the “mmmmm…Barack Hussein Obama…” chant.

And so, when those of us who study history see videos like the one below, it chills us to the bone. It is decidedly reminiscent of the indoctrination techniques that took place in 1930s Germany.

Nervous yet?

“China has had the most successful family planning policy in the history of mankind in terms of quantity and with that, China has done mankind a favour,” United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) representative Sven Burmester said last week. —10/11/99 Agence France-Presse.

Under the Reagan Administration legislation sponsored by then-Rep. Jack Kemp (NY) and then-Sen. Bob Kasten (WI) ensured funding to the UNPFA was cut off for these very reasons. Yet is was no surprise when In 1993, the Clinton Administration dramatically revised the official interpretation of the “Kemp-Kasten amendment” in order to facilitate U.S. funding of UNFPA, thus making available $14.5 million.

The connection is an appealing one to advocates of the anthropological global warming theory because, if you believe humans are to blame for dangerous alterations in the climate, eventually the conclusion of less humans = less warming is reached.

Nervous yet?

But within them is a deep-seated loathing for their own kind because they see man as just another of Earth’s many animal species. Human life, for these people, is cheap.

Animals must be controlled. They must be trained to obey their Masters.

Command and Control

The Kind, Compassionate, Caring Liberals Speak:

“If you don’t pass this legislation (Cap & Trade), then … the EPA is going to have to regulate in this area,” the official said. “And it is not going to be able to regulate on a market-based way, so it’s going to have to regulate in a command-and-control way, which will probably generate even more uncertainty.”

So either pass Cap & Trade and destroy jobs and the economy or we’ll come in Soviet style and crush you with something far, far worse.

There’s a word for that, actually two: Blackmail. And Oppression.

And these are the caring and compassionate Liberals…

EPA Lisa Jackson, head of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Copenhagen at the Global Warming Alarmist Love-in also stressed that the U.N. summit was not the “impetus” for her agency’s big ruling, but a fortuitous coincidence.

There are no coincidences in politics. Especially Liberal politics.

So Obama tauts his  Jobs summit where he talks about creating Jobs, only he excludes two of the biggest Small Business originations because they said bad things about him, and then has his minions threaten to destroy the economy if we don’t get a jobs-killing Cap & Trade disaster passed.

But he Cares. He cares so much it hurts!

You.

Are Liberals going cuckoo for coco-puffs? Is the stress of their grand schemes failures finally getting to them?

Obama continued his campaign (Not leadership) for his “Jobs” ideas:

LA Times: In an unusually aggressive move, Obama opened the meeting by accusing Republicans of “rooting against” an economic recovery, according to an account provided by Republican aides.
He also complained that Republicans were “stoking fear” about actions taken in Washington, said House Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R-Va.), who attended the meeting. White House aides did not dispute the accounts.

“That’s just not the case,” Cantor said in an interview. “It’s the policies that are stoking fear.”

With Cap & trade, now “Command and Control” along with the Health Care Colossus staring you in face like a couple of Mother Tyrannosaurus Rex’s  staring at you next to their nests barring their massive teeth, why would you hire people right now?

But the Liberals are not the one’s spreading fear and intimidation. No, that’s the Republicans.

And the Liberals believe that.

Fascinating…

“So, passing the right kind of legislation with the right kind of compensations seems to us to be the best way to reduce uncertainty and actually to encourage investment,” the official said.

Orwell would be proud.

You get to choose death by angry Tyrannosaur  or death by Raptor.

Congratulations!

No uncertainty here.

You’re Dead.

But don’t you feel better about it. They care.

And your helping to save the planet from all those nasty, evil  Human Beings!

Charleston WV Daily Mail: “It’s a good thing for those pushing the health care overhaul in Congress that the American people don’t get a vote,” commented Peter Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac university’s polling institute.

Ain’t 2009 American Democracy just grand!

That same poll:

Voters disapprove by a 63 percent to 38 percent margin of the health care proposal under consideration in Congress, and they disapprove 56 percent to 38 percent of President Obama’s handling of health care.

Voters also said by a 63 percent to 30 percent margin that extending health insurance to all will raise their cost of health care.

Another Raptor anyone?

Houston Chronicle: “Using uncertain and highly questionable science to institute volumes of onerous new regulations on employers who have never before been subject to EPA regulation is unprecedented and shows a real disregard for the preservation of American jobs, as well as families and businesses struggling to make ends meet,” Governor Perry wrote in the letter “(he sent to the EPA).

An EPA spokeswoman did not have an immediate response to the letter.

Andy Wilson, the global warming program director for the group Public Citizen, said Perry’s claims were “full of half-truths and mischaracterizations.”

Perry “has decided that railing against the federal government is a good substitution for real action on clean energy and climate change,” Wilson said.

And so the Religionists diminish and demean yet again. Does this all sound vaguely familiar?

More robotic parroted liberal ad hominems.

Are you feeling the love from your Representatives yet?

UN Climate Guru and Ringmaster of the Copenhagen Circus-Yvo de Boer: “If I were a businessman, I would say, ‘Please, please, please do a deal in Copenhagen, and please, please, please make it market-based.’ Because if we fail to get a market-based deal here, and if the U.S. Senate fails to pass cap-and-trade legislation, then the EPA will be obliged to regulate. And every businessman knows that taxes and regulations tend to be a lot more expensive and lot less efficient than market-based approaches.”

I’m guessing he’s never run a business.

Angry Tyrannosaur or Raptor? Hmmm..

How about NEITHER?

No, can’t have that. That’s not on the Liberal Agenda.

So choose.

Oh, while your deciding which fate you’d like, Chew on these Stimulus “Save or Created Job” Nuggets from The Hill: A contract worth $5.97 million, part of the $787 billion stimulus Congress passed this year, helped preserve three jobs at Burson-Marsteller, the global public-relations and communications firm headed by Mark Penn, Hillary Clinton’s pollster in 2008.

Now isn’t that special!

Feel the love!

$2 million dollars to job saved. Aren’t you proud of Obama!

White House officials have said the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimated the stimulus helped to create 1.6 million jobs. White House aides also have noted that the national employment report for November showed dramatic improvement compared to early this year.

A White House spokeswoman on Tuesday responded to the GOP report by saying Sen Coburn’s previous reports on stimulus spending have been filled with “false or misleading claims.”

That sounds familiar?

“In the end, even if there are a few unwise projects, it is only a handful out of the over 50,000 projects that have been approved to date,” said Liz Oxhorn, a White House spokeswoman.

Nothing to see here. It means nothing. Move along…

GOP senators also blasted a $1.57 million grant to Penn State University to search for fossils in Argentina and a $100,000 award to a liberal-leaning theater in Minnesota for socially conscious puppet shows.

Two million dollars in stimulus money went to build a replica railroad as a tourist attraction in Carson City, Nev.

Is it going to be a replica of Harry Reid?

A dinner cruise company based in Chicago received nearly $1 million in funds to combat terrorism.

Well, that will put the terrorists over attacking a Dinner Cruise on the Chicago River! Damn! That would have brought America to it’s knees! That was such a good idea! Well, I guess they’ll just go home…

The National Institutes of Health got $219,000 in funds to study whether female college students are more likely to “hook up” after drinking alcohol.

Really? People have to study this one?

They’re sadder than I was in college then.

Half a million dollars went to Arizona State University to study the genetic makeup of ants to determine distinctive roles in ant colonies; $450,000 went to the University of Arizona to study the division of labor in ant colonies.

Feel like an ant under a magnifying glass yet??

“In the end, even if there are a few unwise projects, it is only a handful out of the over 50,000 projects that have been approved to date,” said Liz Oxhorn, a White House spokeswoman.

And just think of all the jobs saved by this valuable research!

And these jobs will be “saved” from the Tyrannoaurus or Raptor that the rest of us get to chose our economic death from.

But don’t worry, they care.

They care so much it hurts.

And pain is good for you.

While the Tyrannosaur or Raptor tear you into little bits.

I will give Lord Doom, Al Gore the final word: (Sydney Herald Sun)

Q: How damaging to your argument was the disclosure of e-mails from the Climate Research Unit at East Anglia University?

A: To paraphrase Shakespeare, it’s sound and fury signifying nothing. I haven’t read all the e-mails, but the most recent one is more than 10 years old. These private exchanges between these scientists do not in any way cause any question about the scientific consensus.

These people are examining what they can or should do to deal with the P.R. dimensions of this, but where the scientific consensus is concerned, it’s completely unchanged.

Too bad there’s no Tyrannosaurus Rex to eat these lawyers!

Command and Control! “veni, vidi, vici”

The Line too Far- Not for Liberals

Remember when Rep. Joe Wilson called out “You Lie” during an Obama speech to Congress and the Liberal Media and the Democrats nearly went into full apoplectic meltdown over the incivility of it all.

Well, now the Goose has been burnt to a crisp.

What’s good for the goose is still not good for the gander, if your a Liberal Democrat.

Sen. Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) on Monday (heard this one in the “Mainstream Media” much?):

“Instead of joining us on the right side of history, all Republicans can come up with is this: Slow down. Stop everything. Let’s start over,” Reid said.

“If you think you have heard these same excuses before, you are right. When this country belatedly recognized the wrongs of slavery, there were those who dug in their heels and said: Slow down. It is too early. Let’s wait. Things aren’t bad enough.”

So now if you oppose them, your in favor of slavery!!

But don’t worry, you won’t get weeks of analysis on how uncivil this was. You’ll be lucky to ever even heard of it.

That’s “journalism” in 2009.

Of Course, Sen. Reid probably doesn’t need to be reminded the actual facts. It’s just that to a liberal in the heat of the moment and with no other recourse, an attack ad hominem is all they know how to use. Like an instinctual response of  a defensive scorpion. Sting! Sting! Sting!

“To suggest that passing this horrible bill is anything akin to ridding our country of slavery is terribly offensive and calls into question Mr. Reid’s suitability to lead,” Steele said. “Having made this disgraceful statement on the floor of the United States Senate, Mr. Reid should immediately apologize.”

Not only did Reid not apologize, but his spokesman called the criticism from Republicans “feigned outrage.” Reid’s speech offered a comparative sweep of past legislative milestones – slavery’s end, women’s suffrage, Civil Rights. (Las Vegas Sun)

Reid continued, “When women spoke up for the right to speak up, they wanted to vote, some insisted they simply, slow down, there will be a better day to do that, today isn’t quite right.

“When this body was on the verge of guaranteeing equal civil rights to everyone regardless of the color of their skin, some senators resorted to the same filibuster threats that we hear today.” (Town Hall)

Not only am I not sorry for my inappropriate and defamatory comment, let’s unload the full barrell of shotgun shells and go for the AK-47 and ready the Nukes!

IBD: Politicians who believe in the never-ending expansion of government are fully willing to pull out the stops when something as big as government-run health care is within grasp.

Maybe he does need to be reminded. Maybe his “liberal education” never taught him the real facts.

Does Harry Reid really forget that the Republican Party’s First real candidate for president after it surpassed and supplanted the Whigs, was Abraham Lincoln???

Founded in Ripon, Wisconsin, in 1854 by anti-slavery expansion activists and modernizers, the Republican Party quickly surpassed the Whig Party as the principal opposition to the Democratic Party. It first came to power in 1860 with the election of Abraham Lincoln, a former Whig, to the presidency and presided over the American Civil War and Reconstruction.

When the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which would end segregation nationwide, came to Congress for a vote, a number of Senators did, in fact, threaten to filibuster the bill as Harry Reid stated. What Harry Reid did not mention is that 80% of those Senators that threatened to filibuster the Civil Rights Act were Democrats. In fact, 31% of Democrats in Congress voted against the Civil Rights Act of 1964. That means about 1/3 of the Democrat Party refused to end segregation nationwide.

People like Sen Robert Byrd, who is still there!

How did the Republican Members of Congress vote concerning the Civil Rights Act of 1964? A total of 82% of the Republicans in Congress voted to end segregation nationwide. In other words, segregation ended when a larger percentage of Republicans voted in favor of civil rights.

But as I have shown repeatedly, facts that liberals don’t like or don’t push their agenda don’t matter to them.

And where is the major media: Trying to hide yet another mess under the table.

Former Clinton Mouthpiece on ABC’s Good Morning America:

ABC’s George Stephanopoulos appeared on Tuesday’s Good Morning America to spin and minimize Senator Harry Reid’s contention that opponents of health care reform are similar to supporters of slavery. After ABC played a truncated version of Reid’s quote, Stephanopoulos, hopefully observed, “My guess is this is going to blow over.”

Sure, when you censor and downplay the whole clip. How many times and in how many ways did Liberals play “You lie” and wrack themselves with glee and feigned disgust 24/7??

He did concede to co-host Robin Roberts: “Republicans were just furious about that, Robin.” But, ABC didn’t show any clips of “furious” Republicans complaining about the harsh attack. Prior to the clip being played, Stephanopoulos, who is rumored to be the next host of Good Morning America, adopted a charitable description of Reid’s comparison to slavery: “Boy, the whole Senate floor exploded over [the remarks] yesterday, when Senator Reid went to the floor and tried to rally his Democrats by evoking these great legislative fights of the past.”

It’s over-blown. No big deal. Nothing to see here.

See the same pattern as ever other time a Liberal gets caught with his hand in the cookie jar?

Now imagine a Republican, or Conservative, or even George W Bush saying this?

Impeachment would be called for. Or at least several months of 24/7 “analysis”.

But a Liberal says it, eh, so what no big deal.

It never is if it’s them.

It goes like this:

STEPHANOPOULOS: Republicans were just furious about that, Robin. My guess is this is going to blow over. The real action now going on behind the scenes in these negotiations over this public health insurance option.

Robin ROBERTS: Oh, yeah. That is another- Yeah, we haven’t even talked about that, which is so key, as we’ve been saying for many months now. And who are the key players in this, George?

Just move on, gloss it over, barely recognize it, diminish it, and move onto The Agenda.

That’s “Journalism” for you in 2009.

Hate Air America (yes, apparently they still exist): Should Harry Reid apologize? And should Democrats resort to the sort of bomb throwing name calling that Republicans have been doing for years?

I would laugh but I am too cynical for that.

How low can they go? The desperate Democratic peddlers of a government health care takeover have proclaimed an insurance “holocaust in America” (Fla. Democratic Rep. Alan Grayson), lambasted conservative health care town hall protesters as “political terrorists” (Indiana Democratic Rep. Baron Hill), sent SEIU thugs to demonstrate outside Democratic Sen. Joe Lieberman’s private residence, and derided senior citizens questioning President Obama’s fuzzy math savings claims (California Democratic Rep. Pete Stark: “I wouldn’t dignify you by peeing on your leg. It wouldn’t be worth wasting the urine.”) Now, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is leading them deeper into demagogic mire.

Following in the mucky footsteps of former President Jimmy Carter (who blamed GOP Rep. Joe Wilson’s objections to Obama’s policy deceptions on a “racism inclination”) and Jesse Jackson (“You can’t vote against health care and call yourself a black man”), Reid likened Republicans who object to socialized medicine to slave masters, enemies of women’s suffrage.(Town hall)

As low as they have to get what they want. It doesn’t matter to them. And it sure as hell doesn’t matter to ABC,NBC,CBS,CNN, et al.

Town Hall: There is now a $200,000 “bounty” on the head of U.S Chamber of Commerce CEO Tom Donohue. Left-wing activist website “Velvet Revolution” published a want ad this week with Donohue’s picture on it, soliciting information leading to “the arrest and conviction” of the business leader for “opposing progressive initiatives.”

IBD:“We now seek hard evidence that will stand up in the court of law; i.e., documents, affidavits and testimony implicating Donohue in crimes; including fraud, tax violations, campaign finance violations, money laundering, insider trading, election tampering, pension fund and stockholder manipulations. We want to hear from insiders and whistle-blowers posessing (sic) information not already in the public domain.”

Is it just us, or is this the most despicable act the hipster left has come up with since MoveOn.org tried to smear General David Petraeus as General Betray-Us in a New York Times ad last year?

But these are the compassionate, rational, loving, salt-of-the earth, bi-partisan,tolerant, saintly (compared-to evil-capitalist Republicans) Defender of Mom and Apple Pie, who care about the poor, and the downtrodden.

And don’t the Mainstream Media tell you any different!

IBD: No wonder White House Press Secretary Gibbs delivered his infantile diatribe this week claiming that the president’s 47% approval according to the Gallup tracking poll — a new low — is meaningless.

CSM: In a blame-the-messenger moment, the press secretary, citing swings in Mr. Obama’s approval ratings in Gallup daily tracking data, said: “I am sure a 6-year-old with a crayon could do something not unlike that.”

Gibbs continued: “I don’t put a lot of stake in, never have, in the EKG that is the daily Gallup trend. I don’t pay a lot of attention to the meaninglessness of it.

It’s no big deal that Obama has the lowest approval rating at this point in his presidency since Harry S. Truman. He’s a Liberal. It doesn’t matter.

We’ll beat George W Bush into a bloody pulp over his approval ratings, but Obama’s, peshaw, nothing to see here. it’s meaningless.

Notice how liberals love that word when deflecting criticism and scandals from them?

And finally: a Bit of ironic humor from The Christian Science Monitor:

Tomatoes Going Rogue

All the drama occurred yesterday at the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota. Palin was at another stop on her “Going Rogue” book tour.

At some point during the four hour engagement, a man perched on a second floor balcony hurled two tomatoes at Palin. The rapidly-moving vegetables fruits didn’t come close. One onlooker said they missed by at least 10 feet.

That didn’t mean the aggressor was unsuccessful however. He managed to hit two people. Who happened to be cops.

Needless to say, an arrest quickly followed. Jeremy Paul Olson, was charged with assault and disorderly conduct.

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes (2009) or is that the The Gang/Guy That Couldn’t Shoot Straight??

Breaking News:

Some good news possibly though: Sen Ben Nelson (D-NE)  has promised to vote against the overall legislation unless his amendment is included. This was a total ban on federal funding for abortion.

The Democrats voted it down.

If he carries out his threat, Democrats would fall at least one vote short of passage unless they can find a Republican to fill his shoes.

So I guess they will be kissing up to Maine Senators Olympia Snow and Susan Collins now more than ever!!

Which means compromises that many Democrats will hate. But will they swallow it to just get something, ANYTHING, passed so they and the media can stand triumphant as the saviors of the American people?

Stay Tuned.

The sideshow has only just begun.

Stop Breathing! Save the Planet

You’re a Toxic Polluter!

So stop Breathing out that toxic gas! You insensitive pig you!

Time.com: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lisa Jackson announced that the agency had finalized its finding that greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide, pose a threat to human health and welfare.

Carbon dioxide is normally found as a gas that is breathed out by animals (and people like you and me) and absorbed by green plants. The plants, in turn, return oxygen to the atmosphere.

So I wonder if they sue us for having to clean up our toxic waste??

Obama’s “regulation czar” Professor Cass Sunstein wants animals to be able to sue. “Any animals that are entitled to bring suit would be represented by (human) counsel, who would owe guardian-like obligations and make decisions, subject to those obligations, on their clients’ behalf,” according to Sunstein. The Harvard legal scholar first proposed the argument in 2002.

So maybe Mr. Ed can be the lawyer in class action suit for the Amazon Rain Forest or the tree down the street.

The ruling allows the EPA to begin regulating greenhouse gas emissions from power plants, factories major industrial polluters, although the precise details of that regulation have yet to be worked out. “The threat is real,” said Jackson. “If we don’t act to reduce greenhouse gas emissions the planet we will leave to the future will be a very different than the one we know today.”

So stop Breathing!

“This cements 2009’s place in history as the year the U.S. government began seriously addressing the challenge of greenhouse gas pollution,” said Jackson.

Have faith True Believers!

Not that the liberals and Global Warming Alarmists won’t suffocate you and your job with massive new luddite regulations that will destroy this country and possible the world economy with it.

It will give liberals hope and and make them feel good.

That road to hell is a 10-lane superhighway under construction.

Jackson said she did not have a time table for when the agency would publish a detailed plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and both Jackson and Obama have said repeatedly that they would prefer legislative action — in the form of a carbon cap-and-trade bill — over top-down regulation.

Do it my way or the superhighway.

“An endangerment finding from the EPA could result in a top-down command-and-control regime that will choke off growth by adding new mandates to virtually every major construction and renovation project,” said U.S. Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Thomas J. Donohue.

The Chamber was one of the groups not invited to Obama’s  “Jobs Summit” by the way.

Such a command-and-control regime is a long way off, and may never happen — especially if cap-and-trade is finally passed. But with the most important environmental summit in history just kicking off, the EPA’s news couldn’t come at a better time for greens.

Did someone’s Orwellian doublethink go off, cap and trade is  a command and control regime. But if we have that command and control regime it will be better than the EPA’s….gives you the warm fuzzies (or as Chris Matthews said about Obama- “it gives me a tingle up my leg”).

Feel the tingle.

And stop Breathing out that toxic pollutant!!

“There is nothing in the hacked e-mails that undermines the science upon which this decision is based,” Jackson said in announcing the finding this afternoon. She said the controversial messages dealt only with a tiny fraction of the strong evidence of global warming.

Does this robotic response sound vague familiar to every other Religionist asked this question. A Hive mind perhaps? or just good Orwellian programming so that a thoughtcrime doesn’t escape?

The Hill Comment section: Mathematically, it’s this simple: CO2 2009 = Y2K.

Dr. Peter Venkman: This city is headed for a disaster of biblical proportions.
Mayor: What do you mean, “biblical”?
Dr Ray Stantz: What he means is Old Testament, Mr. Mayor, real wrath of God type stuff.
Dr. Peter Venkman: Exactly.
Dr Ray Stantz: Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling!
Dr. Egon Spengler: Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes…
Winston Zeddemore: The dead rising from the grave!
Dr. Peter Venkman: Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together… mass hysteria!

Now there are scientists you can believe in.

AFP: Opening ceremonies began with a short film featuring children of the future facing an apocalypse of tempests and desert landscapes if world leaders failed to act today.

“There will be hundreds of millions of refugees,” Rajendra Pachauri, head of the UN’s panel of climate scientists, said in the film.

“Please help save the world,” said a little girl, plaintively.

Now that’s just child abuse.

Danish Prime Minister Lars Loekke Rasmussen told opening ceremonies that the world is looking to the conference to safeguard humanity.

“The world is depositing hope with you for a short while in the history of humanity,” Rasmussen said.

He that lives upon hope will die fasting.- Ben Franklin

And boy will be fasting very soon at this rate.

So Obama is going to go to Copenhagen and sign away our remaining industrial capacity and destroy the infrastructure of a modern 21st century economy.

And if Cap and Trade is not passed, he will have his Religionists at the EPA do it for him.

Ah, the joys of a democracy.

Rasmussen:  41% of U.S. voters favor the health care plan proposed by the president and congressional Democrats.The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 51% oppose the plan. And as has been the case for months, the emotion’s on the sign of the naysayers: 40% Strongly Oppose the plan, while just 23% Strongly favor it.

Only 30% of U.S. voters now say the country is heading in the right direction, according to the latest Rasmussen Reports national survey. That’s the lowest finding on this question since mid-February but is still 13 points higher than a year ago.

71% Say Creating Jobs More Important Than Stopping Global Warming

Most Americans (52%) believe that there continues to be significant disagreement within the scientific community over global warming, despite repeated assertions by the White House and others that there is a scientific consensus on the subject.

CNN: According to the survey, roughly a third of the people who believe in global warming think it is due to natural causes, rather than manmade causes such as industrial emissions. As a result, the number who say that global warming is caused by humans has dropped from 54 percent last summer to 45 percent now.

Rasmussen: The fact that the president and other top national leaders continue to pursue agendas at odds with what most Americans view as important helps explain why 71% of voters nationwide say they’re at least somewhat angry about the current policies of the federal government. That figure includes 46% who are Very Angry.

The White House on Monday dismissed as “silly” the notion that global warming science had been compromised by emails exposing a row between top climate scientists. (afp)

Actually what Robert Gibbs, White House Press Secretary said was : “I think scientists are clear on the science. I think many on Capitol Hill are clear on the science. I think that this notion that there is some debate … on the science is kind of silly.”

The Agenda is the Agenda and nothing will stop The Agenda.

Not even “silly” facts like lying , falsification of data, or suppression of opposition.

That’s just “silly”.

Washington Post: Even proponents of action on climate change, such as Democratic pollster Mark Mellman, who has conducted polls on the issue for the American Security Project and the Pew Charitable Trusts, say they have detected a recent fraying of bipartisanship.

“It’s a sad state of affairs when science becomes subject to partisan politics,” Mellman said. “It can only be attributed to the sense that this issue has become part of a political battle.”

And who did that? Our “bi-partisan” Congress ,President, and Too-smart-for-any-room Liberals perhaps?

Everything to a Liberal is politics. Everything.

Period.

Discover: Pew Research Center for the People & the Press found that only 57 percent believe there is strong scientific evidence that the Earth has gotten warmer over the past few decades, and as a result, people are viewing the problem as less serious. That’s down from 77 percent in 2006.

Jon Krosnick of Stanford University, who has been conducting surveys on attitudes about global warming since 1993 was surprised by the Pew results.

He described the decline in the Pew results as “implausible,” saying there is nothing that could have caused it.

Clueless aren’t they? So incapable of escaping their Orwellian Thoughtcrime Box that they can’t see any trees in the forest.

And that’s your “consensus” for you…

The only consensus they actually reached is that their right and your wrong and nothing in the universe could possibly change that.

As a Newsweek columnist put it:  But the scientists (who believe in global warming in regards to Climategate) should be bigger than the know-nothings.

” I don’t know where these people got their scientific education, but where I come from, if your theory can’t predict or explain the observed facts, it’s wrong.” (Der Spiegel)

It’s a basic rule of science that you don’t just get to report your results and ask other people to take you on faith. You also have to report your data and your specific method of analysis, so that others can check it and, yes, even criticize it. (RCP)

Unless, you’re liberal superhero, here to save mankind!

Have Faith!

Even the Kryptonite of the Truth is not enough to stop them!

To them anything and everything they do is beyond reproach and so what if they’re lying, cheating,  or ignoring facts, the end justifies the means.

The picture that emerges is simple. In any discussion of global warming, either in the scientific literature or in the mainstream media, the outcome is always predetermined. Just as the temperature graphs produced by the CRU (or NASA et al)are always tricked out to show an upward-sloping “hockey stick,” every discussion of global warming has to show that it is occurring and that humans are responsible. And any data or any scientific paper that tends to disprove that conclusion is smeared as “unscientific” precisely because it threatens the established dogma.(RCP)

So stop breathing you know-nothing toxic gas producing silly saboteur of the Holy Mission of The Religion of Global Warming! They just want to save you from yourself!

Now don’t you feel better.

Clinton said he didn’t inhale, Obama says don’t exhale.

It endangers all mankind.

So save the human race and don’t exhale.

The Conference of Doom Begins Today

Many of you are too young to remember, but in 1975 our government pushed “the coming ice age.”

Random House dutifully printed “THE WEATHER CONSPIRACY … coming of the New Ice Age.” This may be the only book ever written by 18 authors. All 18 lived just a short sled ride from Washington, D.C. Newsweek fell in line and did a cover issue warning us of global cooling on April 28, 1975. And The New York Times, Aug. 14, 1976, reported “many signs that Earth may be headed for another ice age.”

In 1974, the National Science Board announced: “During the last 20 to 30 years, world temperature has fallen, irregularly at first but more sharply over the last decade. Judging from the record of the past interglacial ages, the present time of high temperatures should be drawing to an end…leading into the next ice age.”

Science’s prediction of “A full-blown, 10,000 year ice age,” came from its March 1, 1975 issue. The Christian Science Monitor observed that armadillos were retreating south from Nebraska to escape the “global cooling” in its Aug. 27, 1974 issue.

Now we have Polar Bear on “diminishing” ice flows in the Artic.

Ahhh….

Does this all look vaguely like, well it global warming has dropped but in the future it will be an apocalypse!

UK Telegraph 4/30/2008:  Global warming will stop until at least 2015 because of natural variations in the climate, scientists have said.

Noel Keenlyside of the Leibniz Institute of Marine Sciences, Kiel, Germany, said: “The IPCC would predict a 0.3°C warming over the next decade. Our prediction is that there will be no warming until 2015 but it will pick up after that.”

And as all Global warming Religionist know the IPCC is never EVER wrong.

So as it snows on Houston, the earliest on record, just remember Global Warming is going to Kill us all!

The Conference of Doom starts today in Copenhagen.

Will this day also, live in infamy!

There is truly something rotten in Denmark.

UK Telegraph: Ms Jorgensen reckons that between her and her rivals the total number of limos in Copenhagen next week has already broken the 1,200 barrier. The French alone rang up on Thursday and ordered another 42. “We haven’t got enough limos in the country to fulfil the demand,” she says. “We’re having to drive them in hundreds of miles from Germany and Sweden.”

And the total number of electric cars or hybrids among that number? “Five,” says Ms Jorgensen. “The government has some alternative fuel cars but the rest will be petrol or diesel. We don’t have any hybrids in Denmark, unfortunately, due to the extreme taxes on those cars. It makes no sense at all, but it’s very Danish.”

The airport says it is expecting up to 140 extra private jets during the peak period alone, so far over its capacity that the planes will have to fly off to regional airports – or to Sweden – to park, returning to Copenhagen to pick up their VIP passengers.

The top hotels – all fully booked at £650 a night – are readying their Climate Convention menus of (no doubt sustainable) scallops, foie gras and sculpted caviar wedges.

According to the organisers, the eleven-day conference, including the participants’ travel, will create a total of 41,000 tonnes of “carbon dioxide equivalent”, equal to the amount produced over the same period by a city the size of Middlesbrough.

But nothing but the best for those concerned with the Doom of all mankind and want to shut down the Industrial Revolution as really bad for the planet!

I suppose Al Gore’s “Carbon credits” business will be busy with guilty Doomsayers for the next 11 days.

NY Post: Some 40,000 tons of carbon will be spewed getting this crowd together and keeping them in comfort.That is the amount of carbon dioxide produced by more than 60 of the world’s smaller countries in an entire year — combined.

Instead of swift and modest reductions in carbon – say, two per cent a year, starting next year – for which they could possibly be held accountable, the politicians will bandy around grandiose targets of 80-per-cent-plus by 2050, by which time few of the leaders at Copenhagen will even be alive, let alone still in office.

But damn! It will sound good! It’ll sound like they care.

Can some on pass me the Wagyu beef with white truffles, darling…

“If we fail, one reason could be our overconfidence,” said Simron Jit Singh, of the Institute of Social Ecology. “Because we are here, talking in a group of people who probably agree with each other, we can be blinded to the challenges of the other side. We feel that we are the good guys, the selfless saviours, and they are the bad guys.“

Bingo! That wins the man a Booby prize, which in Copenhagen is probably just a few doors down.:)

As Mr Singh suggests, the interesting question is perhaps not whether the climate changers have got the science right – they probably have – but whether they have got the pitch right. Some campaigners’ apocalyptic predictions and religious righteousness – funeral ceremonies for economic growth and the like – can be alienating, and may help explain why the wider public does not seem to share the urgency felt by those in Copenhagen this week.

Anyone seen Lord Doom?  He canceled? Really. A chance to be a media whore in front of adoring fans and hock is new Doomsday Book??  Coming to a Theatre near you

And the Great Savior of Mankind, Barack Obama is not jetting in until is nearly over. Something about a Peace Prize (just after he escalated Obama’s War in Afghanistan).

In a rather perceptive recent comment, Mr Miliband (who called those who disagree with him and his ilk saboteurs just days ago) said it was vital to give people a positive vision of a low-carbon future. “If Martin Luther King had come along and said ‘I have a nightmare,’ people would not have followed him,” he said.

Let’s all have a PR pitty party form the Doomsayers.

But do you think they’ve really learned anything.

No.

That would be a break with their faith.

So they have 11 days to work on a new spin.

That’s all.

And the Danes are happy to participate.

NY Post: That’s because the last great world climate treaty, Kyoto, does not make them include their nasty shipping business in the calculation. No wonder the Danes liked that so much.

AP: “I think a lot of people are skeptical about this issue in any case,” Yvo de Boer (The U.N.’s top climate official) said. “And then when they have the feeling … that scientists are manipulating information in a certain direction then of course it causes concern in a number of people to say ‘you see I told you so, this is not a real issue.’”

Ya Think?

Because there’s a “consensus” that says debate is over. So how can anyone possibly be skeptical?

“This correspondence looks very bad,” de Boer said. “But I think both the university is looking into this (and) I believe there is a police investigation going on whether the e-mails were leaked or stolen.“

Not whether they are true or not or what they actually say, mind you.

U.S. climate negotiator Jonathan Pershing (Deputy Special Envoy for Climate Change) called the science on global warming “very robust, very substantial.” He told the AP that the controversy surrounding the leaked e-mails came at an “unfortunate” time, just before the long-awaited U.N. talks, “but has no fundamental bearing on the outcome.“

His faith in Man-Made Doom is Strong, young Barack!

UK Telepgraph 4/30/2008: Writing in Nature, the scientists said: “Our results suggest that global surface temperature may not increase over the next decade, as natural climate variations in the North Atlantic and tropical Pacific temporarily offset the projected anthropogenic [manmade] warming.”

The study shows a more pronounced weakening effect than the Met Office’s Hadley Centre, which last year predicted that global warming would slow until 2009 and pick up after that, with half the years after 2009 being warmer than the warmest year on record, 1998.

Commenting on the new study, Richard Wood of the Hadley Centre said the model suggested the weakening of the MOC would have a cooling effect around the North Atlantic.

“Such a cooling could temporarily offset the longer-term warming trend from increasing levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

“That emphasizes once again the need to consider climate variability and climate change together when making predictions over timescales of decades.”

But that would question the faith.

Our Friend Ed Millibrand, UK Environment  Secretary on the BBC less than 24 hours ago:

“The people who believe that this is happening, that climate change is happening and man-made, have nothing to fear from transparency.”

Obama: “Information will not be withheld just because I say so; it will be withheld because a separate authority believes my request is well-grounded in the Constitution. Let me say it as simply as I can: transparency and the rule of law will be the touchstones of this presidency,“

So how’s that working out?

Global Cooling. (1975)

Global Warming. (also coined in 1975)

Global Climate Change? (created because it kept  embarrassingly snowing on Global Warming Conferences)

Anthropogenic climate change (2000)

What Orwellian term will the Conference of Doom come up with?

Stay Tuned.

I’m a Flat-Earther and Proud of it!

I just had to point this out. The childishness of it made me chuckle.

Embattled British Prime Minister, George Brown (UK Telegraph): People who doubt that human activity contributes to global warming are “flat-earthers” and “anti-science”, Gordon Brown has said.He said: “With only days to go before Copenhagen we mustn’t be distracted by the behind-the-times, anti-science, flat-earth climate sceptics. We know the science. We know what we must do.”

Now that’s a persuasive argument!

It has also been disclosed that the Government’s chief scientist, John Beddington, was forced to defend controversial claims in the television campaign, which features a father reading his daughter a frightening bedtime story about global warming.

Clearcast, the body that vets adverts, questioned the scientific evidence used in the campaign. Part of its role is to ensure controversial topics are kept impartial

Dr Beddington and Robert Watson, the energy department’s main scientific adviser, responded to Clearcast with a furious letter leaked to Channel 4 news, which states: “We are both surprised and disturbed that the premise of the television campaign is being questioned, given the incontrovertible nature of the science that underpins the campaign material.”

Jane Lubchenco, who heads the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. “Regardless of what happened in one place, it doesn’t undermine the totality of what we know.” (Washington Post)

The religion roles on.

Ed Millibrand, Environmental Secretary: “The approach of the climate saboteurs is to misuse data and mislead people. The sceptics are playing politics with science in a dangerous and deceitful manner. There is no easy way out of tackling climate change despite what they would have us believe. The evidence is clear and the time we have to act is short. To abandon this process now would lead to misery and catastrophe for millions.”

So now the truth is “sabotage” and anyone who disagrees is a saboteur. I guess I will have to add that one to my list of childish liberal ad hominems.

Ed Markey, chairman, House Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming (D-MA): “We can no longer allow our climate and energy policy to be hijacked by the government of Saudi Arabia, ExxonMobil, and the defenders of the fossil fuel status quo,” he said.

Oh, really Senator? How about hijacked by Global Warming Religionists and Profiteers from the “Carbon Credits” scam like Al Gore?

I’m guess ExxonMobil is not on your Campaign gift lift then….:)

UK Guardian: Nick Clegg, the Lib Dem leader, said it would be disastrous for the planet if sceptics were able to undermine support for a climate change deal. “Ideological dinosaurs, whether in Saudi Arabia or in the Conservative party, who deny climate change must not be allowed to hide behind some leaked correspondence to support their outdated theories,” Clegg said.

Then There’s NASA: (IBD) Chris Horner, a senior fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, has threatened a lawsuit against NASA if by year-end the agency doesn’t honor his FOI requests for information on how and why its climate numbers have been consistently adjusted for errors.

“I assume that what is there is highly damaging,” says Horner, who suspects, based on the public record, the same type of data fudging, manipulation and suppression that has occurred at Britain’s East Anglia Climate Research Unit. “These guys (NASA) are quite clearly determined not to reveal their internal discussions about this.”

They may have good reason. NASA was caught with its thermometers down when James Hansen, head of NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies, announced that 1998 was the country’s hottest year on record, with 2006 the third hottest.

NASA and Goddard were forced to correct the record in 2007 to show that 1934, decades before the advent of the SUV, was in fact the warmest. In fact, the new numbers showed that four of the country’s 10 warmest years were in the 1930s.

Hansen, who began the climate scare some two decades ago, was caught fudging the numbers again in declaring October 2008 the warmest on record. This despite the fact that the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration had registered 63 local snowfall records and 115 lowest-ever temperatures for the month, and ranked it as only the 70th-warmest October in 114 years.

Scores of temperature records from Russia and elsewhere were not based on that October’s readings at all. Figures from the previous month had simply been carried over and repeated two months running. Was Hansen, like his CRU counterpart Michael Mann, trying to “hide the decline” in temperatures?

Goddard now says it got the data from another body and didn’t have the resources to verify them. There’s a phrase for this: garbage in, garbage out. Goddard’s figures are one of the four data sets used by the U.N.’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change to come up with its doomsday scenarios. Britain’s CRU is another.

Hansen has said in the past that “heads of major fossil-fuel companies who spread disinformation about global warming should be tried for high crimes against humanity and nature.” What penalties would he recommend for himself and his CRU colleagues?

London Times: Hansen has clearly led a sheltered life when it comes to politics and history. He argues that dealing with climate change is like dealing with slavery — and that Copenhagen is our last chance to tackle global warming. “On those kinds of issues, you can’t compromise,” he says. “You can’t say, ‘Let’s reduce slavery, let’s find a compromise and reduce it 50% or reduce it 40%’.”

Now that’s REAL Science for you!

IBD: We recall the unguarded admission of climate alarmist Steven Schneider of Stanford, printed in Discover in 1989: “To capture the public imagination, we have to offer up scary scenarios, make simplified dramatic statements and make little mention of any doubts we may have. Each of us has to decide what the right balance is between being effective and being honest.”

The warm-mongers at CRU and NASA may be neither. Let’s open their books to find how well they may have been cooked.

Over Cooked I suspect.

There is little to deter former U.S. Vice President Al Gore from projecting his belief that humanity is doomed if something is not done urgently to tackle the global warming challenge – a catastrophe that Mr. Gore sees as one that has been caused by mankind. The specter of any “climategate” investigations is a mere sideshow in Al Gore’s eyes, as the scientific debate – Gore believes – has been concluded.

The Lord of Doom speaks: “Even a final treaty will have to set the stage for other tougher reductions at a later date,” Gore told The Times. “We have already overshot the safe levels of CO2 in the atmosphere.”

Stick you head between your legs and kiss your ass goodbye, The Lord of Doom has proclaimed it!

While the audience of environmental journalists were largely in agreement with Mr. Gore’s presentation and his positions, one Irish journalist and filmmaker asked Gore about the many scientific errors that were found in Gore’s global warming movie, An Inconvenient Truth. “A judge in the British High Court, after a lengthy hearing, found there were 9 significant errors,” said Phelim McAleer, director of Not Evil Just Wrong. “This has been shown to children. Do you accept those findings and have you done anything to correct those errors?” Gore did not provide an answer, saying: “The ruling was in favor of showing the movie in schools.” When Mr. McAleer sought to press an answer to his question, McAleer’s microphone was cut off and he was escorted away. (Digital Journal)

You actually wanted to debate the your Lord and Master of Doom!  How dare you, peasant!

Chris Horner wrote in The National Review. “The closest the Court came to supporting the movie was to say that it was grounded in the science . . . and spends the rest of its opinion detailing how it then egregiously departs from the science.”

UK Guardian: Even if an investigation into the university emails were to show evidence of wrongdoing, scientists and politicians say there is an overwhelming body of evidence that humans are causing climate change.

“I think there’s no real scientific basis for the dispute of (global warming),” White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said this week.

So even if we’ve been lying up our ass the evidence is overwhelming.

So, just like the fake letter on George W Bush’s war service, “The letter is fake but what it says is true.”

So the evidence is fake, but the conclusion is true.

Now that’s REAL science for you!!

The 2010 Campaign Begins

“Now is the winter of our discontent…” to paraphrase the Bard.

Sure the unemployment rate dropped .2 of a percent.

Because they gave up.

Because it seasonal temp worker season.

Not because they got a real job.

The problem can be summed up with the words of the great Fats Domino when he said, “a lot of fellows nowadays have a B.A., M.D., or Ph.D. Unfortunately, they don’t have a J.O.B.”

But that’s a minor detail to the Obama Administration.

He had his “Job Summit” a few days ago where he got his pals around a table for a photo-op and a bull session to see how he can spin this and then he went out onto the CAMPAIGN TRAIL.

It’s time for Campaign Mode again folks. Not Leadership.

Obama’s LA Times- before the “summit”: “Folks who have their jobs face a level of insecurity that is unacceptably high from the administration’s perspective,” said the White House official. “So the president has tasked us to generate ideas and work with Congress on future job-growth measures.”

Having been preoccupied with passing a health care bill, the White House is eager to demonstrate it is sensitive to the economic hardship Americans face. To that end, the White House will host a jobs summit Thursday. And the next day, Obama will travel to Allentown, Pa. — the first stop in a kind of economic “listening tour.” (read: Campaign Mode)

How about listening to this (Rasmussen poll):  Only 27% of voters nationwide favor a single-payer health care system where the federal government provides coverage for everyone.

That’s 63% opposed to “The Public Option”.

When it comes to quality, 55% of voters say a single payer health care system would lower the overall quality of health care.

Fifty-seven percent (57%) of voters nationwide favor limiting the amount of money a jury can award a plaintiff in a medical malpractice lawsuit.

That would be the Tort reform opposed Universally by Democrats because they are in bed with the Trial Lawyers.

But I guess we’re not saying anything the politicians want to hear or can twist and spin.

Polling shows that the healthcare overhaul is not as important to Americans as an economic recovery that yields jobs. With a midterm election next year, Democrats in control of the White House and Congress can’t afford to look out of touch.

A Senate Democratic aide, speaking on condition of anonymity, said, “Democrats have to address the No. 1 concern of their constituents — and that is, by a long shot, jobs.

“We want to show we get it — that we’re responsible and in tune.”

Warm Fuzzies for everyone!

WSJ:  Obama’s signature jobs initiative was the stimulus package, but the bill did little to promote private-sector investment or job creation. The new government spending in the stimulus does not encourage entrepreneurs to start or expand a business enterprise unless they received a stimulus contract. Consequently, the stimulus ignores the main factor increasing unemployment: lack of private investment. Instead of encouraging private-sector job creation, the stimulus bill increased government spending on longstanding liberal priorities.

The Obama Administration’s approach to yesterday’s “jobs summit”–excluding the Chamber of Commerce and the National Federation of Independent Businesses, the principle federations that represent private-sector job creators–further illustrates this shortsightedness.

That’s right, small business groups were EXCLUDED from the summit.

Why?

Because they’d been critical of him.

The poor baby. Did they hurt your feelings Barack.

But do you really know what’s behind this sudden concern, nearly a year into his presidency and with unemployment not going down as all his economic pundits predicted?

2010.

The Congressional Mid-Term elections.

That’s what’s got him into campaign mode.

The 2010 Democratic Whitewash of  a 12 Trillion Dollar Debt and nearly 4 Trillion dollars in spending in less than  a year that did NOTHING has officially kicked off.

The 2010 Whitewash of massive new Tax proposals to crush you under their heal has begun.

And the spin will likely throw the Earth off it’s axis.

And be warned, there is no line of any kind that the liberals won’t cross in order to hold onto their power.

No Bribe is too big.

No promise too outrageous.

They will make the 2006 and 2008 P.T. Barnum “Centrist” campaigns look like an kindergarten skit.

And anyone who opposes them, they will be nuked into sub-atomic particles and then nuked again.

And their willing accomplices in the “Mainstream Media” will be only too glad to help them out.

The Ministry of Truth will be out in full Orwellian  Mode.

So this is a warning to any Republican who might actually read this, The Mainstream Media is your Enemy. And should be treated as such.

They cannot be reasoned with.

They cannot be appeased.

You can’t make nice with them.

They want to destroy you.

Period.

Get over it.

As for Jobs, Government can only create government jobs. And the levels of bureaucracy proposed by Obama and The Democrats is truly frightening.

But it won’t get the average american a job.

But it could make them dependent on government for sustenance.

IN Dependence rather than Independence.

The liberals wouldn’t mind that at all.

How else do explain that the same people who are “life long democrats”, the poor, minorities, et al are the very people who get the hand outs then get the screw and don’t catch on to this shell game at all.

The administration will find it hard to spend further large sums to create jobs because it ran a staggering $1.4 trillion budget deficit in fiscal 2009 and is likely to have a similar shortfall in the current fiscal year ending Sept 30, 2010.

The highest deficit ever. Making George W Bush look like the fiscal conservative he wasn’t.

But damn the torpedoes, full Campaign Mode ahead!!!

Maybe they can get some of those people from the fictitious Congressional Districts that got Stimulus money to hire people.

But imagine your an employer.

Looming on the Horizon are the Twin Collosus of Health Care Reform and Cap & Trade.

Both absolutely guaranteed to TAX the life out of you.

Would you take the risk of hiring more people with this facing you?

Not if you have any sense.

But do you think the Democrats can even see this obvious truth.

Why would they?

It’s not in their agenda.

And they are the best,brightest, smartest and most caring people in the room, after all.

Just ask them, they’ll tell you.

But if we go into Campaign Mode, we can make it sound completely different than it is.

All style and no Substance. But damn it will make you feel good.

So, I hear tell, does doing drugs. At least for a quick buzz.

And the Politicians favourite drug: Your Paycheck.

Government has no money unless it takes it from you.

So , we’re from the government and we are hear to help you.

Trust us. We Care.

Hope and Change.

Yes We Can!

“Investments that we have in jobs should be paid for by TARP funds,” Pelosi said yesterday.

Yeah, lets recycle bribes using money we don’t have to bribe a new group of people with more waste & fraud!

House Republican Leader John Boehner of Ohio said using the TARP money would a “very big mistake.” The money “was intended to solve an economic emergency in the financial sector” and returned funds should go to repaying government debts, he told reporters.

Not anymore, especially when you have a 2010 election Crisis to solve!

“I don’t think … [global warming] is quite, frankly, among most people, in dispute anymore.” White House spokesman Robert Gibbs.

Well, that problem’s solved.

And now they have their own Health care to keep secure.

Another amendment was proposed to have the Congress live under the Health Care Reform they are proposing.

IBD: Senators and representatives from both sides of the aisle know how good they have it under the FEHBP (Federal Employees Health Benefits Program.), the world’s largest group health program. The reason Congress’ own health care works so well is that it’s based on consumer choice and market competition — the opposite of what it’s trying to impose on everybody else.

Members of Congress and millions of federal workers may choose from hundreds of private fee-for-service plans, HMOs or preferred provider organizations, with no federal worker living anywhere enjoying fewer than a dozen options.

FEHBP members can easily switch plans if they become dissatisfied; that puts competitive pressure on insurers to provide quality and value. Surveys show that members love their coverage, which is why almost all federal employees join the program.

The FEHBP is shielded from state regulation and Uncle Sam subsidizes premiums by more than 70%. Canadian physician and Manhattan Institute senior fellow Dr. David Gratzer, whose opposition to government-run health care comes from first-hand experience, observes that “the federal government’s role in the FEHBP is to pay the bills,” unlike the fiscally doomed Medicare program, of which “Washington is the designer of benefits.”

Coburn and Vitter’s idea (an amendment) of politicians living under a government plan “was opposed unanimously by Democrats during interviews on Thursday,” the Hill newspaper reports.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Oh, and vote for me in 2010. I guarantee I will be looking out for you…
