Democrats to increase the National debt ceiling...... Again!

Democrats in Washington announced today that they will be raising the Federal Debt ceiling by $1.8 trillion before the New Year. This comes on the heels of President Obama announcing his next big stimulus push yesterday morning, cementing his status as the most wasteful president in history.


“We’ve incurred this debt. We have to pay our bills,” House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer told POLITICO Wednesday

The mark of $1.8 Trillion is double of what was discussed during last springs budgtet resolutions, and is another sign of Washingtons inability to propoerly manage spending. To get this through, Democrats wil be attaching the new ceiling to the Military appropriations bill, which funds efforts in Iraq and Afghanastan making the bill a “must pass” legislation.

“It is December. We don’t really have a choice,” Obey told POLITICO. “The bill’s already been run up; the credit card has already been used. When you get the bill in the mail you need to pay it.”

So you see, they don’t have a choice because they already spent the money. What great representatives we have. They don’t even think for one second that maybe they should cut back on spending. It doesn’t even cross their minds. They are oblivious to the economic realities that we all live with in our personal lives. They are government cronies, completely in bed with government unions and have no sense of what grows and retracts our national value. Think about it-- Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Barrack Obama--- Are any of them educated specifically in economics? Are any of them able to make financial decisions based on sound economic principls? No, they are a bunch of activists and lawyers who solidify their power by growing government. Not even a month ago, Barrack Obama vowed to be more defecit conscious. I guess he does that by expanding the debt ceiling. This is what happens when we elect a social worker to the highest office in the country.

Tax money for Abortions stays in the Senate healthcare bill

Senate rejects Nelson amendment on abortion

From the Washington Post

The Senate narrowly rejected an amendment that would have restricted abortion coverage in the pending health-care bill, leaving in question whether Majority Leader Harry Reid (Nev.) has the 60 votes needed to move the bill toward final passage.


The measure, which failed 54-45, addressed the scope of restrictions on coverage of abortion services for people who receive subsidies to buy insurance. The outcome could cost the support of Sen. Ben Nelson (D-Neb.), who has threatened to filibuster the $848 billion bill unless abortion restrictions are tightened.

Meanwhile California Senator Dianne Feinstein makes the statement that it is morally correct for taxpayers opposed to abortion to cough up money for it. Her reasoning: we pay for lots of things we don't believe in. Audio linked below. I've written on this before and I won't go into it too much here. I simply find it unbelievable that they could mandate public support for such a divided issue. It's one thing to go to war, with the national security of everyone at risk. It's another thing to take a social issue and mandate its support from people who find it reprehensible and morally wrong. Government force is in full swing, with "progressives" taking the perogative on what is moral. If any group is less capable of judging morailty, I don't know of them.

You have got to be joking……….

Just when you think the government couldn’t possibly find more ways to waste our money, Barrack Obama today outlined his plans to introduce ANOTHER stimulus package. According to President Obama:

“the nation must continue to spend our way out of this recession until more Americans are back at work."

I wonder if that would work for my credit card too?
Meanwhile, the President misses the irony of his announcement coming a day after the CBO’s latest stimulus report. According to the Congressional Budget Office, the cost per job created with last years stimulus money was just under $250,000.00 a pop. And that doesn’t even show how many jobs were prevented in the private sector by wasting a $1.4 trillion on government.

Obama seems intent on repeating the same mistakes that prolonged the Great Depression. In true Herbert Hoover fashion, he called for more government spending on infrastructure projects such as roads, bridges and water projects; and for new tax breaks for consumers who invest in energy-efficient retrofits in their homes.

The Keynesian view of the world that this president has is truly disturbing. Every time he talks about the economy he promises to spend more money that we don’t have. The government simply refuses to acknowledge that it has grown too large to sustain, so they come up with half-baked-reasons to catapult spending to new heights. If you want to grow the economy you have to increase the PRIVATE SECTOR workforce. All he is doing is taking limited resources out of the market and using them for his preferred area of business.

Meanwhile, images of Obama’s first major infrastructure project have been leaked on the internet. It aint the Hoover Damn, but I think it looks promising…….



Harry Reid.....Moron!


Once again the liberals are trying to tie their issues to some historical event that shows opposition to them is evil. The liberal (fascist) tendencie to do this is really quite amusing. Here we have Harry Reid comparing healthcare opposition to anti-abolitionists. I think he might be senile. I've previously shown clips of Democrats comparing the healthcare issue to the holocaust.

Funny clip explaining unemployment statistics



This is how they really do it.............

How the Left teaches tolerance and indoctrinates children........


WARNING: EXPLICIT MATERIAL
Kevin Jennings was appointed by President Obama to be the “Safe School Czar” on may 19, 2009. His appointment immediately caught the attention of many Republicans, laying the foundation for yet another controversy relating to the political appointees of the current administration. Jennings has more skeletons in his closet than perhaps any other member of this administration, and is now in position to dictate what are children are taught in school.


Jennings founded and directed the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN). GLSEN publicly strives to influence educational curriculum to include materials which the group believes will increase tolerance of gay students. One of the ways they go about this mission, is by maintaining a recommended reading list, which they believe "furthers the mission to ensure safe schools for all children". GLSEN's booklink allows teachers to purchase these books for mandatory student reading and classroom assignments. According to GLSEN's own press releases, the reading list was extremely important in the efforts to influence the American education system. The guys over at gatewaypundit checked out the recommended reading for students in grades 7-12, and needless to say, they were blown away by what they discovered. The image at the top of this post is taken directly from the recommended reading list of our school safety czar!

Gateway:
Book after book after book contained stories and anecdotes that weren’t merely X-rated and pornographic, but which featured explicit descriptions of sex acts between pre-schoolers; stories that seemed to promote and recommend child-adult sexual relationships; stories of public masturbation, anal sex in restrooms, affairs between students and teachers, five-year-olds playing sex games, semen flying through the air. One memoir even praised becoming a prostitute as a way to increase one’s self-esteem. Above all, the books seemed to have less to do with promoting tolerance than with an unabashed attempt to indoctrinate students into a hyper-sexualized worldview. Mere descriptions on our part could not convey the emotional gut reaction one gets when seeing what Kevin Jennings wants kids to read as school assignments. So we began scanning pages from each of the books, and then made exact transcriptions of the relevant passages on each page. Read the passages below and judge for yourself. There’s no wiggle room. The language is explicit, the intent clear.


To be specific, the books we read were:

Queer 13, Being Different, The Full Spectrum, Revolutionary Voices, Reflections of a Rock Lobster, Passages of Pride, Growing Up Gay/Growing Up Lesbian, The Order of the Poison Oak, In Your Face, Mama’s Boy, Preacher’s Son, Love & Sex: Ten Stories of Truth

According to Kevin Jennings and GLSEN, books about a 13-year-old getting “my cock sucked and my ass fucked” or about a teenager enjoying the “exquisite bitter taste” of his friend’s semen are not just acceptable, they’re highly recommended. As GLSEN’s own site says, “All BookLink items are reviewed by GLSEN staff for quality and appropriateness of content.” Really? (Note: GLSEN does advise adults to “review content for suitability.”)

Friday Night Quote..........


"Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it."

Minnesota state budget.......

Yesterday, the Star Tribune reported that Minnesota faces a $1.2 billion budget deficit that could exceed $5.4 billion over the next three years. This is according to a state budget forecast released Wednesday. Before overreacting, it’s important to note that these forecasts are often very wrong. But personally, I don’t think this is one of those times. There are many issues that people scream about in regards to fixing the budget. Raise taxes, borrow money, cut school funding; I would take another approach.

On April 27, 2008 the Democratic majority in the Minnesota Legislator passed the HHS Spending Bill-HF 1362. Rather than working on balancing our budget, the Majority party increased the budget for welfare by 2.2 billion dollars. An increase of 20.47! Shortly after that, an audit was performed on these programs revealing that millions of dollars from minnesota taxpayers were somehow being spent all over the country (including Hawaii--by people on wellfare!)

Guess what I would do…..

Chris Horner to sue NASA, Barbara Boxer seeks to punish whistleblowers.....

As the IPCC scrambles to retain a shred of dignity in wake of their climate cover-up, the fight over climate policy in the U.S. is taking a new turn. Chris Horner, a senior fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, said NASA has refused for two years to provide information under the Freedom of Information Act that would show how the agency has shaped its climate data and would explain why the agency has repeatedly had to correct its data going as far back as the 1930s.

"I assume that what is there is highly damaging," Mr. Horner said. "These guys are quite clearly bound and determined not to reveal their internal discussions about this.

Clearly, Mr. Horner is a flat earth creationist and holocaust denier. Meanwhile, Democrats on the hill are attempting to change the focus of the crime that was uncovered through climategate. Senator Barbara Boxer (living proof that no-intelligence is required in the Senate) said that the leaked e-mails in the climategate scandal should be treated as a criminal matter, but not for the scientist perpetrating the world-wide fraud. She wants to skip right past what the emails revealed, and go straight to prosecuting whoever released them

"You call it Climategate; I call it E-mail-theft-gate. We may well have a hearing on this, we may not. We may have a briefing for senators, we may not," Boxer said. "Part of our looking at this will be looking at a criminal activity."

The audacity is unreal. This would be like Tom Petters (ponzi scheme operator extraordinaire) blaming his employees for exposing his crimes and violating his personal privacy. Boxer sails right past the fact that we are trying to enter into a global treaty, which has the potential to destroy the world’s economy and change the entire framework of our country, over science that has been established with false data. When Sarah Palin was running for Vice-President, her email was hacked and released to the public. There was nothing incriminating in those emails, but it lead to all sorts of investigations and legal subpoenas (AKA: Trooper-gate). I don't recall Senator Boxer showing the same outrage over Palin’s right to privacy. Boxer is simply using the same old liberal tactic of re-directing attention in the face of outright fraud. Her ponzi scheme is unraveling before her eyes and she is grasping at anything she can to divert attention. My question to Al Gore, Senator Boxer, and the rest of you commies out there is very simple: “Who are the Deniers now?”

Failure of the Mind

I have been involved with several political debates lately. How do I get involved? Simple. When I hear some dolt making a blanket statement about how "the threat of global warming is going to kill us all" or "we just need to go along to get along" I shout back at them. "What are you talking about? Do you have a slight bit of information to back up what you're saying? If not, shut up!"

So my life goes.

The tragic part of this is the fact that the people who think this way, KNOW that they are not logical and are not thinking but reacting from emotion. They often times tell me "I know in my heart that buying carbon credits is a good thing, I FEEL IT!"

What are all these things about? Failure of the Mind. People don't want to think anymore. Folks would rather go through life, gorging themselves at the table of mediocrity. Nobody wants to be special, nobody wants to earn, nobody wants to think. Chances are that if you have read this far into my post, these rules don't apply to you. However, if you often times turn on the history channel and think you are learning, you are not out of the woods yet.

People don't want to think. A friend of mine at work (who shares a similar disdain for lack of thinking) was recently talking to a person who he had a disagreement with.

Idiot: You don't have many friends, doesn't that bother you?

My friend: It's lonely at the top of the mountain. You lower your standards to please people, and that makes me sick.

Idiot: I would rather throw aside my standards than be lonely.

I wish this type of thinking was the abnormal, but tragically I find it to be the standard. Don't believe me? Find some bilge rat wearing a Vikings hat... Approach him and say "Excuse me sir, could you tell me who is the Quarterback for the Vikings?" When he promptly replies "Brett Favre of course". Come back quick with, "Could you tell me who the Senate Majority Leader is?". When he stares blank at you, just remember... Thinking is hard, that's why people don't do it.

Or try the Michael Savage test. Find a recent high school or college graduate (even a regular adult will do). Ask them "Scuse me sir... Could you tell me the difference between these 3 items:
1. Fettucini
2. Rigatoni
3. Mussolini"

When he calmly chuckles and says, "How silly of you! I have a PHD in Social Work, not in Italian Food! HAR HAR HAR!!!!" while he steps into his Prius, just remember how I say, "Thinking is hard, that's why people don't do it"

How does this have to do with conservative thought? It doesn't so much. It more has to do with "Rogue thinking" and going against the norm. Like signing your signature on the Declaration of Independence.

I firmly believe that if you talk to people, challenge them, and get them to think, they will become conservatives over time. There is no way around it. Get people to read books. Any book will do, because eventually they will want books with substance and authenticity, and look to classics and others that promote critical thought.

Thoughts on last nights Presidential address

Last night was the first time since President Obama took office that I actually felt bad for him. Watching him give his speech to the group at west-point, he looked defeated and exhausted. Clearly this is not an issue that is winning him any praise within his own party or the general population, as only 35% approve of his handling of Afhanistan. Truth is, it might be the only issue the media has actually questioned him on.

My empathy for Obama was quickly dissolved however, when it became clear how politically motivated his speech would be. He pledged 30,000 more troops to Afghanistan while simultaneously telling the entire world when we would be leaving. Not a great military strategy, but a necessary one for a politician worried more about elections. He spoke about his accomplishments in closing Gitmo and ending water boarding, which just created an odd combination of what felt like half campaign speech, and half emotional rhetoric. It just didn’t work. The sad realization of Obama supporters across the country would have been a sight to behold, because the fact of the matter is: Obama gave a speech that sounded just like George Bush.

Gabor Steingart commented:
It was the least truthful address that he has ever held. He spoke of responsibility, but almost every sentence smelled of party tactics. He demanded sacrifice, but he was unable to say what it was for exactly. Strength in Afghanistan will be tripled relative to the Bush years, a fact that is sure to impress hawks in America. But just 18 months later, just in time for Obama's re-election campaign, the horror of war is to end and the draw down will begin. The doves of peace will be let free.

It was as though Obama had taken one of his old campaign speeches and merged it with a text from the library of ex-President George W. Bush. Extremists kill in the name of Islam, he said, before adding that it is one of the "world's great religions." He promised that responsibility for the country's security would soon be transferred to the government of President Hamid Karzai -- a government which he said was "corrupt." The Taliban is dangerous and growing stronger. But "America will have to show our strength in the way that we end wars," he added. It was a dizzying combination of surge and withdrawal, of marching to and fro.

Obama clearly failed to impress. He will now have to explain how a bankrupt country is going to pay for this assault which now rivals any amount spent by Bush. And of course, we still need money for healthcare and cap and trade legislation. Personally, I don’t know how I feel about the Afghan war. Like John Kerry before me, "I was for it before I was against it". Much the same as I am in regards to the Iraq war. My perspective of US military action overseas is that we are getting over-extended. We go to these Middle-Eastern Countries and instead of routing resistance, we lay back and try to play the good-cop. We don’t allow our military to do what it would take for a total military victory, because what it would take would be pretty vicious. It would mean massive disruption of imports and exports. It would mean civilian casualties, food shortages, and bombing of populated cities. It may even mean WATER BOARDING!!! In the age of 24 hour media, the American people don’t have the stomach for this kind of war. Instead, we send troops over there and they play policeman. It’s not a winning strategy, and I don't find it a very responsible use of resources. Especially considering his lack of financing in boarder security and military defense.

I don’t know what the best action would be for our government from this point forward. If we're going to be in Afghanistan, I guess I am glad Obama is listening to his military experts, but there are many uncertainties to consider. One thing however, is for certain: Bush and Obama grow closer together in almost every political policy with each passing day.

Monckton Slams Climategate....

The climategate story won’t be going away anytime soon, despite the wishes of Al Gore and Don Shelby. On Monday, Lord Christopher Monckton published a comprehensive review of the scandal. He goes into great detail about the damage done by these pseudo-scientist over the past decade, and how they have been overtly fraudulent at the expense of the public. The climate change scam makes Bernie Maddoff’s Ponzi Scheme look like childs play. I have posted a excerpt of his review, along with a link to the full PDF document. (FYI: full PDF is nearly 40 pages long, but it’s well worth the read for anyone interested)

THE WHISTLE BLOWS FOR TRUTH
by Christopher Monckton of Brenchley
November 30, 2009

The whistleblower deep in the basement of one of the ugly, modern tower-blocks of the dismal, windswept University of East Anglia could scarcely have timed it better.In less than three weeks, the world’s governing class – its classe politique – would meet in Copenhagen, Denmark, to discuss a treaty to inflict an unelected and tyrannical global government on us, with vast and unprecedented powers to control all once-free world markets and to tax and regulate the world’s wealthier nations for its own enrichment: in short, to bring freedom, democracy, and prosperity to an instant end worldwide, at the stroke of a pen, on the pretext of addressing what is now known to be the non-problem of manmade “global warming”.

The unnamed hero of ‘Climategate’, after months of work gathering emails, computer code, and data, quietly sent a 61-megabyte compressed file from one of the university’s servers to an obscure public message-board on the internet, with a short covering note to the effect that the climate was too important to keep the material secret, and that the data from the University would be available for a short time only.He had caught the world’s politico-scientific establishment green-handed. Yet his first attempts to reveal the highly-profitable fraud and systematic corruption at the very heart of the UN’s climate panel and among the scientists most prominent in influencing it’s prejudiced and absurdly doom-laden reports had failed. He had made the mistake of sending the data-file to the mainstream news media, which had also profited for decades by fostering the “global warming” scare, and by generally denying anyone who disagreed with the official viewpoint any platform.The whistleblower’s data file revealed, for the first time, the innermost workings of the tiny international clique of climate scientists, centered on the Climate Research Unit at East Anglia, that has been the prime mover in telling the world that it is warming at an unprecedented rate, and that humankind is responsible.

REVEALED: THE ABJECT CORRUPTION OF CLIMATE SCIENCE

The gallant whistleblower now faces a police investigation at the instigation of the University authorities desperate to look after their own and to divert allegations of criminality elsewhere. His crime? He had revealed what many had long suspected:

Good stuff.........


I don’t have any commentary to go along with this -- and I’m posting it about two weeks too late. It’s referencing Barrack Obama’s tendencies to bow to foreign royalty, which is evidently contrary to historical precedence. I don’t know if its as big a deal as some on the right seem to think, I just like the cartoon...

Climategate Update #3

Penn State University and the University of East Anglia have now taken steps to address the Climategate controversy. Dr. Phil Jones has temporarily stepped down from his position, pending an internal investigation. Michael Mann has not received any punishment as of yet, but is under internal investigation from within the University.  Both stories are linked below.

In related news, both Jones and Mann have been nominated for next years Nobel Peace Prize…….
