Get Out of Our Way Washington

Let’s face it, the whole government bailout of banks and the take over of the automotive companies is teaching Americans one important lesson… the Government knows NOTHING about running businesses. Not that we needed to be reminded. All we have to do is look at how poorly they run the government and we SHOULD know all we need to know. However, our leaders talk a good game and can dance their way around almost any question…
Nothing is making it more crystal clear that the current administration is lost without a clue than the moves they’re making against the independent car dealerships, the car industry and the banks. These are heavy-handed moves that no businessman would even THINK of trying – let alone of getting away with. They’re taking businesses away without just compensation like they are some kind of authoritarian dictators, they’re firing people who SHOULD be getting compensation packages for their severances, at the very least… and the American people will probably be on the hook for those packages after we are sued for violations of their Fifth Amendment rights along with a laundry list of laws good lawyers will be able to come up with out of the dusty old law books on their shelves.
All of that aside… we have to look at what we can expect to have happen over the next few years.
First, we see the government positioning the car companies to be killed off. The government is placing new CAFÉ standards on the car companies to produce cars that are going to cost consumers a lot of money to produce and consumers won’t want. And they are dangerous!! The government is going to manipulate us – the American public – into having to buy these things whether we want them or not.
The same kind of manipulation is about to be dumped on our heads with Universal Healthcare that will be devastating to our healthcare system… but it will be over before we know it and it’ll be impossible to go back…
In the name of saving the planet we’re going to have taxes levied on us from all angles… so many we won’t be able to keep up with them. They’ll be direct, indirect and hidden. Get ready… they’re coming.
And all of it is a ruse. We’re being lied to… It’s all about taking money from the rich and redistributing it to those the new administration feels have been wronged over time…
My solution??? Simple…
When the government demonstrates they can survive and live like a business – demonstrating fiscal responsibility and an ability to work within a plan – then they can start imposing themselves on the business community like they know what they’re doing. Right now, they have NO CLUE and live like they have no concern about fiscal responsibility. And they don’t. We’d have to increase taxes MORE just to buy them A CLUE!!! They can’t even talk a good game right now. All they can do is issue more decrees. Until they can show us they have the first inkling about what’s going on in the business world, they need to step aside and let the country run. We, The People, will take care of it if they get out of our way…

Cudos To Pelosi

Cudos to Nancy Pelosi for being exactly what she is and has been for years. She is a consummate politician. She said what she KNEW her base wanted to hear and played to her constituents.
Okay, she lied. So what?? Did someone fail to mention she’s a POLITICIAN??? HelLLOOOOOOoooo!! That’s what they do!!! Did you miss that somewhere along the line??? That’s what they ALWAYS do!! We’re just supposed to be too stupid to catch it – and if we do we’re supposed to understand it’s to mislead the majority of Americans who are (in THEIR assessment) IDIOTS!!
Is Barney Frank telling the truth? (I’m rolling with laughter here.) How about Harry Reid? John Kerry? Pick one. Are they telling the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth? HELL no!! They’re politicians. They play to the cameras, the media and what the focus groups tell them their constituents are thinking… even if it requires they lie. So, they create realities – even ones they know to be lies.
Did you all miss the 90’s? Bill Clinton lied to our collective faces almost weekly and we were told - by the media (who approved of what he was doing and helped him where ever they could) - that was a good thing. Has that changed? Noooooooo….
So, cudos to Nancy Pelosi for being exactly what she is – another in a long line of lying politicians who can smoothly look into the cameras and lie her ass off.
Well done.
Well… not really.
As a matter of fact... Get out.
When we KNOW you’re lying you need to go. And we now KNOW you were lying so.. GET OUT!!!

Healthcare Gestapo

Did anyone hear what President Obama said about healthcare?? He wants to set up a system of preventative medicine like has been done by private companies to get healthcare costs down. What he’s going to do is start controlling the behavior of ALL Americans just as he is doing to car companies and the banks right now!! He’s going to make sure we all stop smoking, lose weight, workout and do all the things that the GOVERNMENT says will make us healthier. Even though studies show that’s NOT the case…
He says there will be incentives for following those behaviors – which implies there will be punishments for those who do NOT follow the prescribed behaviors. More laws, more rules and regulation… which means there will have to be some kind of force to enforce all this. This is NOT looking good!!

Courts To Choose From

As our Supreme Court is into looking to foreign courts for their rulings we finally have one they might be able to turn their backs on. Although…
A judge in Saudi Arabia has decided it is okay for husbands to slap their wives if they over-shop. Whoa!!! What??? The Supreme Court has GOT to love that one!!! I wonder what amendment they can stretch all to hell to make that one fit??? Come on, slapping your wife for overspending?? $540 for tennis shoes?? WHAT??? Bam, an open faced slap to the face. Then we can have stories for a month about how it’s good for men to get back to the values that made this country great. Thank you, Mr. President.
And what about the guy who was stoned in Iran for adultery!! Huh?? Darn, where was that rule about ten years ago??? Of course, if WE had that rule what would we do for good Lewinski jokes???
That’s the problem with the Supreme Court, they like to pick and choose what fits their personal agendas.
There are so many GOOD laws to choose from in the world, why not bring the ALL here. We can have canings for parking violations, whippings for speeding. We can behead homosexuals and stone women who refuse to take out the garbage. Ah, one of my personal favorites is keel hulling for a multitude of sins maritime sins. That’s the one where a rope is run from the bow to the stern of a ship and the offender is tied to the rope and dragged the length of the ship along the barnacles. It chews the flesh right off their bones. Wow, those guys knew how to have a good time!!
What, you probably are asking, does all this have to do with the Constitution of the United States??? You would have to ask the Supreme Court. They’re the ones who want to look beyond the Constitution for laws that fit their agendas. I’m sure they would say something about common sense dictating they not use laws like these, but... Why not?? There’s nothing to do with common sense about the ones they ARE using!! Their job is to see if a law fits to the framework of the Constitution. That’s it. Not all this political pap. Does the law fit the Constitution or not. Simple. If not, kick it back to the legislature from which it came and let them rework it to make it fit.
It’s a simple concept, but one that seems to be lost on the people who sit on the highest bench.

Defense of Rush Limbaugh

If there is ever a man alive who needs NO defense it is Rush Limbaugh. He is MORE than capable of taking care of himself. Having said that…
The joke Wanda Sykes told that President Obama looked like he was going to need CPR to recover from was, “I hope Rush Limbaugh’s kidneys fail.” REALLY??? And that passes for humor on the Left?? Of course it does. We’ve spent the last eight years listening to ‘Bush’ jokes with Whoopi grabbing her crotch and John Kerry in the front row doubled over with laughter looking like Obama did last night. Like an IDIOT!! Let’s face it, that’s just plain stupidity on display. For all the talk of Obama and his crowd being SOOOO smart and SOOOO smooth – at the bottom of it all is nothing more than a bunch of crass fools.
And therein lies the reason the Right never attacks on such a base level – we lack the crassness, the stupidity and the lack of reasoning abilities of the Left. Therefore, they are left to resort to pitiful, sick humor to entertain themselves. They remind me of chimps in a feces fight.
I’ve listened to Rush enough to know this is going to roll off him like water off a duck’s back, but for the President of the United States to sit and ENJOY an attack like this says a lot about our new president. Mostly, he is a man of very little character.
Rush Limbaugh is the modern day version of Mark Twain. He truly is a national treasure that needs to be spared these attacks and defended by all good Americans who have had enough of it. However, he is only a visible symbol of the attacks that are being leveled against our country by these Leftists and we not only need to stand in defense of Rush, but America and our values.
Our enemies are among us and we need to stand and fight.

Demonizing America

The very idea of what Americans ARE is disgusting to some people. Most of them are in Congress, the White House and where ever else Leftists congregate nowadays – usually in the Northeast and on the West Coast with a few pockets that have escaped and spread themselves around the country. For some reason they find what the country was founded on and the liberties and freedoms we represent reprehensible.
The feeling is mutual, I can assure you. Except, for us, it goes beyond disgust to loathing entirely and thinking the people on the Left are certifiably insane. What they are doing borders on treason.
We are seeing it in the demonizing of everything that is American – or appears to be American – in Washington and the reflexive lapdog media is spreading it around and trying to put a spin on it to make it sound acceptable. Even the supporters of our current leaders are starting to look at what is being espoused with a lot of reservation. It’s only those who are in it up to their insane pointy little ears that are loving what they’re hearing – and all of THOSE seem to have been indoctrinated by the same Leftist radicals. I believe we’re back to that ‘putting lipstick on a pig’ point again.
There’s an attitude permeating Leftists today that makes anything that even seems Capitalistic into the equivalent of murder. The Left is so committed to the ‘redistribution of wealth’ they are willing to destroy everything that is great about this country to achieve their goal. Apparently, to the Left, it’s fine to be a calculating killer wanting to kill us all, but to have any thoughts that are about maintaining American Capitalism then you should be put in jail.
The current economic meltdown is causing a furor on the Left that is being magnified and amplified in the press into another ‘crisis’ that is going to destroy the world. It’s also playing into their hands. The Left then is taking it and attacking – literally – anything that represents affluence or success.
As we watch everything from Retail stores using plain brown paper bags instead of bags with their names on them, cars set afire because they’re high end, the aircraft industry being destroyed, the hotel industry under attack, ammunition for our guns being taxed at a 700% rate, the UAW running the auto companies and everything about who we are as Americans is under assault it’s discouraging. Many people are trying to figure out how to get their money out of the banks to protect themselves while many others are just trying to figure out how to get out. I guess that’s one way to achieve bipartisanship – be so reprehensible to your opponents they leave the country. Well… for most of us that’s not an option, so we’re going to have to stay here and be a pain in the ass of the Leftists. Laugh at them, make jokes at their expense, point out that none of them have the sense to find their hands with both hands… It’ll be a GREAT time!!
The only REAL problem we’ll have is trying to keep our cars alive for the next 4-6 years while we wait for the car manufacturers to retool once we vote Obama and this bunch of clowns out of office. We know with THEM running the car industry they’re not going to build anything WE want to drive, so we better keep what we have running!!!
