"CRONY CAPITALISM"--A MISNOMER THAT SHOULD DISAPPEAR FROM THE POLITICAL LEXICON

"Crony capitalism" is a misnomer.  In fact, the term is contradictory and very inaccurate.  What is truly galling is that Conservative talk show hosts fall into the Liberal definitions trap by using this misnomer.  We Conservatives have not learned not to let Liberals define terms of art that are being used in political debate.   

      It's very simple.  Capitalism in most of its various forms is competitive.  Socialism in any form is controlling.  "Crony socialism" is where the government selects the business model via over-regulation, over-taxation, and mostly the promotion of overbearing environmentalism.  The latter is the "green jobs" economic model, which has failed everywhere it has been tried; most notably in Spain and most recently in the U.S. with the Solyndra scandal.  In the case of Solyndra, it was "crony socialism" that led to the half billion dollar rape of the American taxpayer.  More on that below.

       Often "crony socialism" is shamelessly  sold as plutocratic philanthropy, with phony, idiotic sentiments like "raise my taxes please" being parroted by "voluntarily unemployed" tax advantaged wealthy plutarchs, i.e., (plutocrat + oligarch = plutarch).  But who's stopping any of the faux philanthropists from voluntarily donating money to the Federal government?  Who's stopping billionaire Warren Buffett from paying the back taxes that he owes to the Federal government?  But it seems that only "rich millionaires" are being targeted by the "Divider in Chief" Obama.  Obama's definition of a "rich millionaire" is someone that earns his or her money either by receiving a salary for services rendered or by selling goods, (you know, like someone that works for a living).  The threshold for being an Obama "rich millionaire” is a $250,000 income. 

     Missing from this "wealthy" grouping are Democrats like Warren Buffett that "earn" their livings from passive wealth activities.  Buffet and those of his plutocratic ilk are taxed at the low capital gains rate of 15%.  The rest of us "millionaires" and Joe Six-Packs are taxed at various ordinary income tax rates of up to 35%!

*  *  *  *  *

Crony socialism is designed to choose economic winners and losers.  This is clearly illustrated by the recent Solyndra fiasco in which an over a half a billion dollar loan guarantee was channeled to a key Obama political campaign fund bundler.  According to the ABC News story on the Solyndra scandal:

The Energy Department [DOE] in March 2009 announced its intention to award Solyndra Inc. a $535 million loan guarantee before receiving final copies of outside reviews typically used to vet such deals. An independent federal auditor who has reviewed the energy loan program said moving so quickly without completing thorough reviews risked exposing the program to claims of political influence and put taxpayers at greater risk.

The Solyndra loan guarantee was not the product of true competition or merit.  Although the DOE application process was started during the Bush Administration, the loan guarantee was stopped by them because it was not a good financial risk.  But it was later awarded by the Obama Administration to the Obama campaign fund bundler/crony involved.  The award was made despite the fact  that a fiscal analysis showed that Solyndra would be bankrupt by September 2011.  Solyndra went belly-up in September 2011.  But that's "crony socialism" at work with your tax dollars.

        One definition of Socialism is that it is a:

…mix of economic and political theories for organizing society that advocates collective ownership and management of the means of production, distribution of services and goods, as well as dividing everything equally.  Socialist theories stand in opposition to ideas of free markets, private ownership, and individual responsibility.  [Ed. note: This economic model of so-called "equal division" is not so in practice. Obama cronies like George Soros and Warren Buffett appear to be doing quite well under socialism as opposed to the average citizen.]

With the Obama Administration, the “Chicago Way” has been added to the corrupt socialist mix.  Thus, traditional economic incentives like profit or the pride of accomplishment has been replaced by shameless political patronage  that has not been seen since the days of the ancient Romans.  But Obama’s “Crony Socialism” patronage system is plundering and obliterating the American private sector in an unprecedented way.

One prime assumption of the Chicago Way is that there will always be a bounteous private sector that politicians can plunder endlessly. Chicago was America's boom town from 1860 to 1900, growing from nothing to the center of the nation's railroad network, the key nexus between farm and factory, the headquarters of great retailers and national trade associations.

But in the course of indulging the Socialist agenda, the American Goose that is laying the golden economic eggs is being killed by Obama’s Economic Death Panel policies.  This is not crony-Capitalism.   This is crony-Socialism.

The unfortunate thing is that we Conservatives have allowed Socialists to define the terminology that is used in political debates.  The term "crony capitalism" obscures the criminality of "crony socialism" by tarring capitalism with the crimes of socialism--greed, corruption, criminally motivated political patronage,  vote fraud, and economic malaise.  The sooner that we conservatives stand our ground concerning the correct terminology  to be used in political discourse the sooner voters will know the differences between Conservatism and Socialism.  And  finally Socialism will be exposed for the cruel hoax that it is. 

Just don’t get me started on why Liberal states should be the real Red States.  That one is the biggest "no brainer" in the history of humankind.

"HEY, WHO PUT THIS TARGET ON MY BACK?" (Obama's Other Death Panel)

Much was made of the Death Panel alleged to be in the ObamaCare legislation back in 2009.  But this is not about any alleged ObamaCare Death Panel.  This is about the most dangerous Death Panel in existence now!  This about the assassination of an American citizen deemed to be an enemy of the state. 

The assassination last week of Anwar al-Awlaki, an American born citizen, is more chilling than pulling the life support plug on Grandma.  There is a "kill or capture list" created by a secret panel of senior U.S. government officials that makes these life or death decisions.  These officials inform the president of its "death penalty" decisions.  But according to a Reuters news story,

The role of the president in ordering or ratifying a decision to target a citizen is fuzzy. White House spokesman Tommy Vietor declined to discuss anything about the process.  

Wow, a mysterious man of action is in the White House!

 

Erstwhile bystander Obama at the left near VP Biden "takes command" of the

Osama Bin Laden situation.  White House picture from Infowars.com, May 5,

2011.



There's nothing worse than a milquetoast that wants to show that he's a tough guy.   This is beginning to be a recurring theme as we approach the 2012 Presidential Elections. It started in earnest with the Bin Laden killing in May of this year. A look at the White House photo above of the Bin Ladin Assassination Situation Room shows Obama looking more like a bystander than as an active participant. 

But with this latest terrorist killing by Obama's posse we've got a mixed message, because according to the above-mentioned Reuters news story:

The White House is portraying the killing of Awlaki as a demonstration of President Barack Obama's toughness toward militants who threaten the United States. But the process that led to Awlaki's killing has drawn fierce criticism from both the political left and right.

But as mentioned above, we still don't know Obama's true role in this "death panel" by arbitrary decree.  It gets worse when you wonder how far our "man of action" might be willing to go to show that he's a "tough guy" in order to be re-elected.  There's also no indication of any due process afforded to these potential enemies of the state--even if they are American  citizens.  This is from the Administration that wants to give Miranda rights to enemy combatants.

But political assassination is  an unspoken of taboo in American politics.  But when it happens usually it doesn't involve an American citizen, except for perhaps the mysterious death of American actress Jean Seberg, who it seemed offended FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, by raising money for the Black Panthers in the 1960s.  There were unsubstantiated rumors that FDR had populist Huey Long assassinated. 

The assassination of foreign leaders is a different matter.  There was no real uproar when under JFK's watch, President Ngo Dinh Diem was assassinated on November 1, 1963, following a coup in South Vietnam.  Ironically or coincidentally if you prefer, JFK was assassinated 21 days later in Dallas, Texas.  Richard Nixon caught hell, as he did for merely breathing, for the assassination of Chilean President Salvador Allende, although the leftists couldn't definitively show American involvement in Allende's death.  The 1967 assassination death of Che Guevara by Bolivian soldiers trained by the CIA and Green Berets did not create as much controversy as would have been expected.  Maybe it was because Lyndon Johnson had other problems like an escalating Vietnam war.  Democrats always get away with murder it seems.

Given the lousy, unquestioning Lame Stream Media that we now have, it's doubtful that Obama will ever be held in check or to account.  And that scares the rest of us law abiding citizens, a.k.a., the putative enemies of the state."  Be assured that I'll be practicing my duck and cover skills on a regular basis.

THE "FAST AND FURIOUS" ROAD TO PERDITION TAKEN BY THE LAME STREAM MEDIA PRESSTITUTES

U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder may have lied to Congress when he stated in May 2011 that he did not know about the Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) "Operation Fast and Furious" (OFF), until a few weeks before his testimony before Congress.  This is a story largely being ignored by the Lame Stream Media. For the uninitiated, "OFF" is a sting operation run by the ATF between 2009 and 2010.  OFF was part of the bigger Project Gunrunner investigation into illegal gun trafficking that is mostly benefiting drug cartels. The purpose of the OFF sting operation was to let suspected straw man purchasers complete weapons purchases and smuggle them into Mexico. The ATF hoped to build a case against various Mexican criminal and drug organizations suspected of being the ultimate weapons buyers.

Documents obtained by CBS News (surprise), show that Holder knew about the operation as early as July of 2010.  The documents as described on the CBS website are:

The July 5, 2010 Memo from Michael F. Walther, Director, National Drug Intelligence Center

The "Tricky Case" e-mails

The Lanny Bruer Memo to Holder 

But never mind that the Chief Law Enforcement Officer of the United States might be a perjurer.  Never mind that one of the guns smuggled into Mexico under his watch was used in the murder of a Border Patrol Agent.  We already know that Holder played racial politics in his dismissal of the 2008 Philadelphia Black Panthers voter intimidation case.  Yet, the Lame Stream Media, for the most part, has not made much ado about any of these matters involving an Obama henchman.  You see, selective morality is the guiding "principle" of the Lame Stream Media.  Democrats, Liberals, or any group that can be of assistance to the Liberal Fascist agenda are protected.

But the Lame Stream Media is more concerned about a rock located on leased land with a painted over racial epithet. Never mind the continuing parade of serious legal offenses of the Obama Administration.  Apparently, GOP Presidential candidate, Rick Perry and his Dad didn't paint or turn over the offending rock soon enough to suit the prissy presstitutes.  The rock is on property leased, by among others, the Perry family and used as a hunting camp by them.  According to Slate E-zine, Perry has pushed back regarding the recent Washington Post hit piece about the offending rock that is substantiated primarily by "anonymous sources."  As an aside, "anonymous sources" are often the "BFFs" of agenda driven reporters.  (This is not to imply that the Washington Post reporter did anything wrong in putting together her story.)  The Slate story said:

When asked further about the rock and when it was painted over, the presidential candidate said first that his father painted over the rock in 1983, then gave a more detailed account, according to the Post:

“My mother and father went to the lease and painted the rock in either 1983 or 1984. This occurred after I paid a visit to the property with a friend and saw the rock with the offensive word. After my visit I called my folks and mentioned it to them, and they painted it over during their next visit.”

The governor’s campaign says the story was misleading however, according to Politico. A statement on his website reads:

“"A number of claims made in the story are incorrect, inconsistent, and anonymous, including the implication that Rick Perry brought groups to the lease when the word on the rock was still visible. The one consistent fact in the story is that the word on a rock was painted over and obscured many years ago.” [Emphasis added]

Ignored by the intrepid Washington Post reporter is the fact that the property was leased.  As anybody that has ever rented an apartment knows there's not a whole lot that a lessee can do to alter a leased property--good or bad.  And it is conceivable that the trust could have sued the Perrys for committing waste upon the leased premises by painting the rock over.  A funny twist to the waste concept is that you can be sued for damages for making an improvement to a leased property.  So one could argue that the Perrys committed waste, yet improved the property, by painting over the offensive epithet shortly after they joined the lease.  Remember that the tagged rock was around before the Perrys joined the lease.  The property was widely known in the area by its pejorative name "N***** Head."

But if there was a responsibility to have painted or done something about the offensive word on the rock it was with the trust that owned the property.  According to the above-cited Washington Post article:

The camp is secluded, situated on a vast, 42,000-acre ranch that reaches into three counties and is owned and managed by the Hendrick Home for Children Trust. Various parcels of the Hendrick ranch, as it is known, have been leased out over the years for grazing cattle, oil drilling and, since the mid-1970s or so, hunting. All sorts of people have been on the winding, rocky ranch roads over the years — cowboys, ranchers, hunters, fishermen, oil workers, power company workers, wildlife biologists, real estate agents, tax assessors, surveyors, locals and outsiders who have visited the hunting camps that dot the property.  [Emphasis added]

What the Washington Post would have you believe is that it was Perry's sole responsibility to have remedied the offensive rock, which his family did do.  Despite the fact that "all sorts of people"  had numerous opportunities to complain to the landowner-trust, it's still Bush's Perry's fault that the epithet was there.  But that's the selective morality of the Lame Stream Media presstitutes

The Lame Stream Media's lazy, weak, and deceptive reportage makes My Weekly Reader (now called the Weekly Reader), look like a Pulitzer Prize winning newspaper.  The average Lame Stream Media reporter also makes Weekly Reader comic strip characters Peanut and Jocko look like Woodward and Bernstein.  Think of the big stories ignored or covered up by the presstitutes.  Like Obama's background, e.g., his questionable relationships with convicted felon Tony Rezko and domestic terrorist Bill Ayers that were ignored or covered up.  And can we see his grades to see if he's as smart as the Democrat party hacks say he is?  Funny how the presstitutes spent more time looking for an picture of an allegedly  coked up George W. Bush playing air guitar in his underwear than they did vetting Obama.   By the way, Obama admits to cocaine use in his book, but no one recalls the presstitutes ever questioning that behavior.

But journalistic malaise isn't limited to the national news media.  For years in San Diego, (a.k.a. Scam Diego), ALL of the snooze media, print and electronic, ignored or buried the pension scandal that first brewed under Republican Mayor Susan Golding's leadership.  Maybe it's time to have a consumer's revolt against the shoddy journalistic practices of the Lame Stream Media.  Otherwise, journalistic ethics is just another oxymoron.

CHRIS CHRISTIE RECONSIDERS or CHRIS CHRISTIE REDUX--AGAIN!

Unlike the flirtatious Scarlett O'Hara playing romantic peekaboo games with numerous suitors in the opening scene of Gone With the Wind (GWTW), there's something creepy  about Chris Christie playing a coy courtesan as he flirts with running for President.  At least with Scarlett, there was a definite strategy in playing one suitor against another.  She could land a wealthy husband and nobody  got hurt, i.e., no taxpayers were harmed in the making of GWTW.  But Christie's political-eye-batting-come-on seems downright narcissistic and indecisive.  His umpteenth denial that he's running will come at a press conference today.  The last thing we should want in a President is an indecisive narcissist.  Why you might ask?  We've been there, done that, and don't want to do it again in 2012.  But at least Christie isn't wearing Mom Jeans as he flirts shamelessly with party elders and big time GOP donors.  Way back when Presidents didn't regularly "dis" the country, my Dad worked with a retired Navy man from Alabama. "The Captain" as he was known, was a crafty marketing guy that used to describe upcoming "dog and pony shows" to potential customers  as an opportunity "to open up the kimono and tantalize them a bit!"  "The Captain" knew a little bit about skillful salesmanship.  This is not the case with Chris Christie.

The usual reason given for the intense interest in Christie is that the current GOP Presidential field is weak.  Query: As compared to what?  Obama has become in two and one half insufferable years the worst President ever.  The previous holder of the title, Jimmy Carter looks downright statesmanlike in comparison, but not quite enough to erect billboards saying "Miss me?"  Funny thing, but the only people that seem to be disappointed in the Republican field are the leftist pundits and water carriers for Barack Hussein Obama.  Personally, I like this field because all of them are far more capable than Obama.  Even the eccentric Ron Paul has his merits.  In the GOP primary process, it may turn out that while you might not vote for a particular candidate for President, a lot of them would make strong cabinet members, i.e.,  a good management team.  I could easily see Michele Bachmann as Commissioner of the IRS.  Herman Cain would make a good Secretary of Commerce. Mitt Romney would make either a good Secretary of the Treasury or better yet, Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board.  There's a lot of common sense in the GOP field.  But more importantly, there's experience that goes beyond the posting of handbills on telephone poles announcing a community gripe session.  Unlike the current occupant of the White House, all of these current candidates also have solid records of regularly showing up for work.

We can't say that we've got a good management team in Obama, his VP Biden,  or his Cabinet.  Vice-President Joe Biden is, to paraphrase former VP John Nance Garner's comment about the Vice-Presidency, "...not worth a bucket of warm spit." (According to Sydney Blumenthal, as cited in Wikipedia, Garner actually said "warm piss."  That sounds more like what a hard core Texan like Garner would have said. )   It's also a cruel cosmic joke to have tax cheat Tim Geithner running the Treasury department, which by the way, includes the IRS.  At least two of Obama's appointees are ardent admirers of mass murderer Mao Zedong.  Eric Holder is a joke as the U.S. Attorney General, i.e., Holder is to the law what woodpeckers are to carpentry.  He should be immediately sent away to some backwoods hollow to be a Judge Roy Bean-like dispenser of injustice.  

But is Christie the answer to our current national malaise?  Well, until Christie shows a little more than what's inside his slightly open kimono, (I know it's bad optics), we'll just have to let the process play itself out.  Let's also hope that the Democrats and the Main Stream Media presstitutes won't be picking a GOP caninedate in 2012, just as they did in 1996 and 2008.  We'll see today at Christie's press conference at 1 p.m., EDT whether or not he'll be running for "Best in Show" in 2012.  But don't think that this flirtation is over.

TAKE CHRISTIE AT HIS WORD... HE'S NOT READY TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT

Prologue 

This above all: to thine own self be true,

and it must follow, as the night the day,

Thou canst not then be false to any man

                                        Hamlet Act 1, scene 3, 78–80

Act One - Friends, Americans, and Countrymen Lend Me Your Votes

Chris Christie gave a speech the other day at the Reagan Library.  This by itself would normally be the launching pad for an announcement for a presidential run.  But after all was said and done, Christie reiterated that he wasn't running, saying "look at my videos."  In the past, Christie has said that he's "not ready," etc.   So unless Christie is the biggest tease since fan dancer Sally Rand, take him at his word. 

We all have that little voice inside ourselves that tells us when we're not ready to do something.  When I was studying acting, my acting coach talked a lot about "grounding yourself" before performing.  Christie might realize in his heart of hearts that despite his bully boy antics toward feckless reporters and public employee labor union thugs; that what may play well on YouTube videos doesn't mean that he's ready to take on Vlad Putin or Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.  Another sign that a Christie candidacy is not a good idea right now is that former POTUS, George H. W. Bush wants him to run.  His son Jeb is waiting for the 2016 Presidential election.  Enough said.

Act Two - Compromise is an Overrated Concept

The definition of compromise according to the Encarta World Dictionary is:

1. agreement: a settlement of a dispute in which two or more sides agree to accept less than they originally wanted
2. something accepted rather than wanted: something that somebody accepts because what was wanted is unattainable
3. potential danger or disgrace: exposure to danger or disgrace

All we seem to be hearing from Democrats and Obama is that Republicans won't compromise.  Compromise what?  And to what end?  The recent budget ceiling compromise in August ended up with Democrats getting to spend money now while promising to cut spending in the distant future.  Huh?  What kind of compromise is that?  And as far as Republicans are concerned, definition number 3 applies.  When the word "compromise" played a prominent part of Christie's Reagan Library speech, hold on to your wallets.   

Act Three - Why Republicans Eat their Own 

According to the top vote getting response in "Yahoo! Answers"  tigers eat their young in part because:

Male tigers will kill any cubs that are not their own if they can, and usually eat them. This is to reduce competition for themselves, and to bring the tigress into heat again so that he can mate with her and father his own young. Because male and female tigers do not live together, sometimes a male may accidentally kill cubs that he has fathered himself, but this does not happen often.

After George W. Bush, Republicans seem to be obsessed with electing a President that sounds good.  Actually, this obsession with videogenics and the ability to articulate ideas, (even if they are stupid ideas like "hope  and change"), began with the Kennedy-Nixon debates in 1960.  Those that listened to the first debate on radio thought that Nixon won the debate.  Those that saw on TV the awful make-up job on Nixon, thought that Kennedy won.
 

After sitting through several hiring committees that chose a candidate primarily because s/he had good interview skills, I can tell you that ALL of them turned out to be either mediocre or poor employees.  Yes, I know that my evidence is purely anecdotal.  But like the old New Yorker cartoon showing a judge whispering to another judge, "Sure it's hearsay, but it's damn good hearsay," my damn good anecdote evokes red flags whenever a fancy talker is trying to sell me something.  Rejecting any candidate with an otherwise good record of accomplishment solely because s/he doesn't produce good sound bites or looks great in debates is silly.  The Roman Emperor Claudius was considered a doofus because among other things he didn't speak well.  He turned out to be one of the best Emperors that ever ruled the Roman Empire.

Christie is long on good soundbites, but short on accomplishments.  Unlike Republican Governors Scott Walker of Wisconsin, John Kasich of Ohio, and even closet RINO Mitch Daniels of Indiana; Christie hasn't been Governor of New Jersey long enough to show that he's as good as Ann Coulter thinks he is.  Those other governors are compiling records of accomplishment.  Meanwhile, Texas Governor Rick Perry, a mediocre debater with a solid record of accomplishment, is being crucified by Michele Bachmann, the politically inert Rick Santorum, and Mit "Ned Flanders" Romney.  Shouldn't they be putting forth their own ideas instead putting down a fellow Republican?  Or are they working to help re-elect Obama by giving his campaign jackals good soundbites to use in his commercials?

Epilogue

A fancy talker is not necessarily the one for the job.  Read the resume, but trust and verify before you make that hire.  Four years can be a long time with the wrong President.  Think about what those fancy words "hope and change" have brought you before you hire the next President.

HURRICANE IRENE: WATCH FOR THE PRO-OBAMA SPIN AS THE PRESS-TITUTES TRY TO MAKE THE PRESIDUNCE LOOK COMPETENT. (THANKS RUSH FOR THE "PRESS-TITUTE" ZINGER!)



"I really care about the American people! It's Michelle that

makes me do these bad things!"  



Hurricane Irene is being built up as a coming catastrophe, if it develops as reported; but so was Hurricane Katrina in 2005.   But this time Presidunce Obama has an acolyte Lapdog media that will take advantage of this catastrophe for political hay, i.e.,  never let a "good crisis" go to waste.  The Lapdogs will try to establish that he is in complete command or at least his pre-recorded teleprompter is.  They will make comparisons as to how the Bush Administration mishandled Katrina vs. Obama's  response.  But Obama's warning message about Hurricane Irene differs little from what Bush said about Hurricane Katrina.  Moreover, the Gulf population was warned five days in advance about Katrina.  Obama's afterthought message comes after days of golf by him and on the same day as the touchdown in North Carolina. 

     The big difference in 2011, is that state officials along the Eastern Seaboard, that are PRIMARILY RESPONSIBLE for the handling of such natural disasters have taken pro-active actions on their own without relying on the Federal government for their cues.  Mayor Bloomberg of New York City and Governor Chris Christie of New Jersey have shut down their jurisdictions in response to the potential disaster. 

     Contrast that with the "sit on their hands" approach by then-Louisiana Governor Blanco and then-New Orleans Mayor Nagin.  It is the contention of this blogger that they were under the direct orders of the DNC to withhold any cooperation with the Bush Administration.  The Lapdog Media then spun Katrina as a failure of competence by the Bush Administration.  Thus Katrina became a propaganda tool for the Democrats.  Too bad that people died while the Liberal Lapdog Media lied.  But then what would you expect from a bunch that believes in genocide via abortion.  Life is cheap to these people.  The suffering of ordinary people means nothing to these Liberal-Fascist plutocrats. 

     Hey Barry, we hope your last round of golf at Martha's Vineyard was a good one.  Sorry to inconvenience you with our petty problems.

THIS JUST IN FROM THE NEW YORK SLIMES

[Editor's Note: Thanks to my brother-in-law for this story via his partner.  This is a joke, i.e., satire, not that the stuffed liberal shirts at the NY Slimes could tell the difference.  The names have been changed to protect the guilty.]

A Harley rider is passing the zoo, when he sees a little girl leaning into the lion's cage. Suddenly, the lion grabs her by the cuff of her jacket and tries to pull her inside to slaughter her, under the eyes of her screaming parents. The biker jumps off his bike, runs to the cage and hits the lion square on the nose with a powerful punch. Whimpering from the pain the lion jumps back letting go of the girl, and the biker brings her to her terrified parents, who thank him endlessly.

A New York Slimes reporter has watched the whole event. The reporter says, "Sir, this was the most gallant and brave thing I saw a man do in my whole life."

The biker replies, "Why, it was nothing, really, the lion was behind bars. I just saw this little kid in danger, and acted as I felt right."

The reporter says, "Well, I'm a journalist from the New York Slimes, and tomorrow's paper will have this story on the front page so, what do you do for a living and what political affiliation do you have?"

The biker replies, "I'm a U.S. Marine and a Republican."

The following morning the biker buys the New York Slimes to see if it indeed brings news of his actions, and reads, on front page:

LIBERAL JOKES (If you think about it, aren't they all jokes?)



Disclaimer: Content includes recycled moron, blond, and other disadvantaged group jokes. 



Did you hear that Congressman Jerry Nadler is so dumb that he needs tutoring to qualify as a village idiot?

Did you hear about the two Senators from California that were so dense that it took them both an entire year to figure out a one piece jigsaw puzzle?

How do you confuse Congressman Steny Hoyer?  Put him in a round room and tell him to sit in the corner.

Did you hear that Joy Behar got an AM radio to listen to Airhead America?  It took her a month to realize that she could play it at night!

How do you make Senator John Kerry laugh on Saturday?  Tell him a joke on Wednesday.

How can you tell when a Liberal clerk/typist has been using the computer? There is white-out all over the screen!

What do you do if a Liberal throws a grenade at you?  Pull the pin and throw it back!

Why did Bill Clinton open the refrigerator door?  To see the salad dressing.

How many Liberals does it take to screw in a light bulb?  Twenty. One to hold the bulb, one to write the grant application, one to launder the money so that it gets to the DNC, two mandatory SEIU employees just standing around, one to write an environmental impact report, twelve to write regulations, and two to turn the chair.

Congresswoman Maxine Waters and Senator Barbara "I earned it!" Boxer were in a parking lot trying to unlock the door of a Congressional Mercedes Benz® with a coat hanger. They tried and tried to get the door open, but they couldn't.  Senator Boxer with the coat hanger stopped for a moment to catch her breath, and Congresswoman Waters said anxiously, "Hurry up! It's starting to rain and the top is down."

Why does Senator Chuck Schumer like lightning?  He thinks (sic) that it's another photo op.

Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner and Congressman Charlie Rangel were walking through the woods when they came to some tracks.  Geithner said "These look like deer tracks," and Rangel said "No, they look like moose tracks."  They argued and argued, and they were still arguing when the train hit them.

Barack Obama walks up to a Coke® machine and puts in a coin. Out pops a coke.  Obama looks amazed and runs off to a Chinese laundry to borrow more coins.  He returns and starts feeding the machine madly and of course the Coke® machine keeps feeding out drinks. Nancy Pelosi walks up behind Obama and watches his antics for a few minutes before stopping and asking him if she could have a go at it. An angry Obama spins around and shouts in her face: "Can't you see I'm winning!" Pelosi's face then cracks into pieces at the force of Obama's shouting.

If Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz and former DNC Chair Howard Dean fell off a building, who would land first? Schultz would, because Dean would stop and ask for directions!

It's a Canadian wonder… (Tragic Bus)

Tragic Bus, Tragic Bus, Tragic Bus, Tragic Bus
I wanna sell it, I wanna sell it, I wanna sell it... (You can't sell it!)

Please sell it, Please sell it, Please sell it, Please sell it... (You can't sell it!)

One point one million bucks paid
Just to drive Obama on his 3-day Tour
That’s $366,000 a day
To drive Obama every way

Tragic Bus, Tragic Bus, Tragic Bus, Tragic Bus, Tragic Bus...
I wanna sell it, I wanna sell it, I wanna sell the Tragic Bus...

I said, now we're stuck with a Tragic Bus (Too much, the Tragic Bus)
I said, now we're stuck with a Tragic Bus (Too much, the Tragic Bus)
It drives Obama every place (Too much, the Tragic Bus)
And each time Obama puts on a different face (Too much, the Tragic Bus)
I wanna sell it, I wanna sell it, I wanna sell it, I wanna sell it...

But every day you'll eat his dust (Too much, the Tragic Bus)
As Obama drives the country down in our Tragic Bus (Too much, the Tragic Bus)

IS IT 2012 YET?

Corn Fed Cattle Call

The Iowa Caucus is over and another RINO Presidential candidate has bitten the dust.  Former "Cap and Trade" aficionado Tim Pawlenty is out of the Presidential race after his poor showing in the Iowa straw pole. The big winners out of the Iowa caucus are Rick Perry and home girl Michele Bachmann. Perry, the new kid on the block, is attracting attention because one third of the jobs created in the United States in the last few years were created in the state of Texas.  Almost immediately, the Obama administration claimed credit for the job creation by saying that federal government military spending and the stimulus were responsible for the new jobs in Texas.  The bottom line is however, is that Perry and Bachmann are now being vetted by the Presstitutes (thanks Rush) in a way that should have been done to Obama in 2008.  That we still don't know anything about Obama is a scary thing given that a President of the United States has the power to destroy the entire world.

Recently, Barack Hussein Obama said that there were not as many shovel ready jobs as he originally thought with regard to the stimulus package that was supposed to keep unemployment under eight percent.  (Now there's a funny thought, Obama with an original thought.)  Gee, so which is it Barry?  Were there any shovel ready jobs or weren't there any shovel ready jobs?  Your minions are claiming that military spending is good because it helped you fix the economy, but in the same breath they also assert that we should make drastic cuts in the military budget anyway. Your crack staff also claims that the oil and gas industry was unleashed by Obama and that the Texas economic boom had nothing to do with anything that Governor Rick Perry did during his ten-year tenure.

But I guess it's kind of the same thing as saying that Bill Clinton had nothing to do with prosperity in the 1990s, because Clinton didn't have anything to do with information technology boom.  The only distinction between Perry and Clinton is that Perry is pro-business unlike the tax and spend Liberal Fascist Bill Clinton.  But Liberals are always allowed to falsely claim credit for things that they don't accomplish.  Bill Clinton claimed to be bonafide Rhodes scholar, but flunked out of Oxford.  Obama is supposed to be the smartest guy to ever be President, but he hides his marks from grade school on up. Is that the logical act of a smart guy?  You'd think they'd publicize the smart man's grades.  But maybe they're bluffing about his brain power or maybe he flunked coloring book and sandbox in the first grade?

Hey Barry, Does your staff's plugged ears ever hear what their collective mouths are saying? We don't have to ask about absence of of a thinking process. There is none amongst these Ivy League degreed geniuses. Is it 2012 yet?


Doubling Down on Incompetence


Fresh off the triumph of "killing" Bin Laden comes the news that the Pakistanis, which Obama and his crack team of foreign policy experts have berated and offended; have given the Communist Chinese access to an American helicopter used in the Bin Laden operation. The sad thing is that the Reds now have a method to reverse engineer the stealth technology that was the exclusive domain of the United States.  Even when this guy does something right he still screws up. Is it 2012 yet?


Sniper Fire


Throughout this whole budget/debt ceiling crisis Democrats have come up with bupkis with any spending plan except for more tax and spend. No approved Federal budget for nearly three years from Senate Democrats. Democrats have offered no serious debt reduction plan at all and yet the Presidunce acts as if he's tried to offer a compromise. He's done nothing but whine like a spoiled little girl. Still nothing from these crooked bastards. We need to cut the cancer that is the Democrat party from the body politic.  Is it 2012 yet?
