House Republicans Standing Athwart History
I am out of the country and unable to post videos. However, This video is an absolute must watch. House GOP Leader John Boehner excoriates the Democrat’s deficit bill. Every single member of the House Republicans did the right thing and voted against the Generational Theft Act of 2009. Looks like there may be a conservative counterbalance to The One after all.
Speakerette Off to Rome: Screw The Rules!
Speakerette of the House, Nancy ‘500 million Americans‘ Pelosi promised the “most honest, most open, most ethical congress ever.” One of the provisions of this new age of accountability was that all bills passed by the House would be available on the internet for at least 48 hours before they were voted on.
Funny thing happened on the way to being the most honest Congress. The Congress will be voting on the Generational Theft Act of 2009, all 1,071 pages before even Congress has read it! Isn’t that reassuring? The geniuses that have brought America to the precipice can’t even be bothered reading a bill that ensures trillion dollar deficits for the foreseeable future. Why does the vote need to be hurried? Because Princess Pelosi has to catch a flight to Europe!
I wonder what type of airplane the Speakerette has syphoned away from the taxpayers to pay for this European junket. I expect nothing less from this Kakistocracy – let the hoi paloi eat cake!
Queen Bee Pelosi says: screw the rules, I’m off to Europe!
Global Warming Hoax: Idiotic and Dangerous
We alway hear about the ‘endangered’ white spotted owl, the polar bear that is ‘on the brink of extinction’ or the integral preservation of some worthless wetland, all in the name of ‘saving the planet’. Why do we never hear about the real victims of global warming?
The war on sanity continues, and we have an update from the Australian front. It is a mixed report:
The good news:
A bunch of worthless plants have been preserved.
The bad news:
Human beings have not.
Radical enviromarxist losers couldn’t care less about human life. Because of them, Melbourne residents could not clean their yards before the brush fire season, resulting in dead PEOPLE. What else do you expect from people that actually believe “a rat is a pig is a dog is a boy”?
This hatred of humanity is nothing new. These cooks, cranks and assorted despondent weirdos actually fantasize about an earth with no humans! The more reasonable ones only want a few billion here and a few billion there to take the fall. Here’s and idea: why don’t all of these morons lead by example, so that the rest of us normal people can enjoy ourselves and this great planet.
Hat tip to Jim Nantz on this one.
Why I Support Sarah Palin
Sarah Palin has become a lightening rod of attention. Her supporters (like me) love her while her detractors seem to be foaming at the mouth, in a hurried attempt to denounce her as a neophyte and a nitwit. To begin I’ll use the Ronald Reagan simple answer method for her detractors, “they are wrong.”
Calumny after obloquy have been thrown at Palin by the media. The wizards of smart at the Networks deride her as unworthy. As Rush would say, they are on the verge of asking her “what gives you the right to breath?” Unfortunately, many conservatives have come to believe outright lie that Gov. Plain is an idiot. I have previously written about this subject. Today, instead of proving why Sarah Palin isn’t what the media paints her as I will explain why I support her.
First, Sarah Palin has real executive experience, She has run budgets, one of the most important functions of a chief executive. She did this while running her own business, as mayor of Wasilla and as governor of Alaska. The importance of understanding the budget process cannot be overlooked.
Second, as governor Palin had other real responsibilities, like running the state National Guard. Again, this nothing to scoff at, it is an actual responsibility.
Third, as a true ‘citizen politician’ Sarah Palin fought corruption in government, blowing the whistle on dishonest Democrats and Republicans. Governor Palin did not get involved in politics to ingratiate herself with the political establishment, she went into politics to get fix a problem in her own school board.
Fourth, and this one builds on point #3, Palin is an actual conservative. She wants to curb the growth of government, she supports the troops and their mission, she supports individual rights, like the right to keep and bear arms, the right which preserves all others, and is pro-life. In sum, Governor Plain is one of us. If we do not support her, why would any other conservatives risk being flogged by the media?
The Titanic Was An Inside Job
We know that metal is stronger than ice. The Titanic was made of metal. The ‘iceberg’ it hit was made of ice. Since metal is stronger than ice, it is safe to conclude that the Titanic would not have been damaged by any real iceberg. Based on this research and simple logic, it is obvious that an iceberg did not sink the Titanic. That leaves us with 3 questions:
1. Who really sank the Titanic?
2. Why did they sink the Titanic?
3. Why did they use the ‘iceberg’ as a patsy?
Well, my friends, let not your hearts be troubled, for I can answer all these questions for you.
1. The only group with the resources available to sink the Titanic was the government.
2. The government wanted to start some sort of war in order to take away our freedoms. That is also a given in any government conspiracy.
Still with me? Government, war, but the lingering question, why the iceberg? Where does it fit into the picture? Well, hold on to your hats because were about to go through the looking-glass. The ‘iceberg’ was set up so that man could launch a war on the planet, through global warming. You see, the government hates the planet, and they want us to destroy it, so they staged the sinking of the Titanic. No ‘Titanic’ ever even existed. This was all done in an effort to destroy the holy mother Gaia.
On an unrelated note, This Boston Globe article claims that the hoax of ‘global warming’ causes mental illness.
Happy Birthday Saracuda
Today is Governor Palin’s birthday. She has had quite a year, being thrust into the national spotlight after she was selected to be John McCain’s running mate. After bursting onto the scene, Palin proved to be a true, principled conservative. Do I support her for 2012? You bet ya!
Who is John Galt?
For anyone who has read Ayn Rand’s classic Atlas Shrugged the parallels with today are striking. Moreover, you probably have a burning desire to move to ‘Galt’s Gulch‘. Well, step 1 is complete; we have our John Galt: Bob Lutz.
Bob Lutz served as a Marine Corps aviator and went on to an illustrious career in the automotive industry, serving in various executive capacities at: GM Europe, BMW, Ford, Chrysler and GM. He is credited with reviving the Cadillac brand, championing the Chevrolet Volt, as well as changing the GM culture to one of style and quality. Moreover, Lutz had the courage to call global warming “a total crock of sh*t.”
Lutz said:
I would say that for a person like me who thrives on challenges of anticipating… customers desires and has a certain knack for doing vehicles that please people in the marketplace, there’s… unquestionably an environment where the future products are going to be increasingly driven by regulation
This is a sad commentary on how we have devolved. I can’t wait to see what Pelosi, Reid and The One ‘design’ for the hoi paloi. I recommend the brand name ‘Lada.‘
Bob Lutz couldn’t deal with the know it alls in the government so he claims that he is ‘retiring’. Keep an eye out for other corporate leaders mysteriously disappearing - they’re probably gulching.
Black Tuesday
The $1,000,000,000,000 comprehensive destroy the United States Act passed the Senate today, thanks to three Benedict Arnold Republicans (Snowe, Collins and Specter). When America looks like Zimbabwe everyone should remember these treacherous collaborators as the ones that sold out their own country.
Thankfully, the Generational Theft Act of 2009 does more than simply lay the ground for hyperinflation. What came to light last night was a stealth attempt to impose totalitarian healthcare. Although, I recall The One assuring us that everything in the bill was entirely necessary – this must be a ‘distraction’ from the ‘old politics’, like, say, pointing out a raving lunatic racist preacher. That’s right, the debt bill included provisions that will “effect every individual [didn't know that word was still permitted] in the United Sates”. i.e. Get used to a totalitarian form of healthcare. The One’s former HHS nominee, tax cheat Tom Daschle, who helped author the debt bill, wrote in his 2008 book on healthcare that “if it means attaching a healthcare plan to the federal budget, [to preclude debate] so be it.” Heaven forbid the hoi paloi determine what’s best for themselves.
But don’t worry, it wont be all that bad, unless your old, in which case tax cheat Daschle says you should be “more accepting of the conditions of the conditions of old age instead of treating them.” For those of yo that are sick or just plain unlucky, well you should just accept a “hopeless diagnoses.” That’s right you simpleton, just give up.
Ayn Rand warned us that “when money ceases to be the tool by which men deal with one another, then men become tools of other men. Blood, whips and guns – or dollars. Take your choice – THERE IS NO OTHER.”
What a hospital lineup will look like when The One and his chief health commissar are through destroying the United States.
The One: Pass Directive 10-289, Or Else!
I write this post while stuck in a government run train station, where, shockingly, the train is running hours behind schedule. The drones in the station are entranced by the words of The One, panting over every word He divulges. The first question, by a heretic, asks if The One might be exaggerating his claims of the perilous situation, even slightly. The train station audience derides the questioner, stunned by her incredulous behavior.
The One assures us that many have lost their jobs, but this is no fault of their own. The audience swoons over his brilliance and compassion. The One then assures his smitten audience that ‘almost all’ economists, besides those blinded by ideology, agree that government intervention is necessary to save the financial world. He warns ‘if the government does not act now the United States may experience a ‘lost decade’ similar to that suffered by Japan’. While totting the virtues of the Generational Theft Act of 2009 The One hails the fact that there are “no earmarks” in the gargantuan bill. He moves on to claim he has been desirous of ‘bipartisanship’ (read: Republicans sacrifice their principles, bend over and grab their ankles) and He has pursued a respectful and conciliatory tone towards those opposite him (recall the hubris, I mean humility of “I won”).
Have you thrown up yet? Let us examine what The One proclaimed at the Mount. I found “lost their jobs by no fault of their own” to be the most troubling statement of them all. ‘No fault of their own’. What does that mean? Is the government going to start rewarding virtue and merit? Who are they to do so? Lincoln Steffans may have seen the future, and history has proven that it doesn’t work. It is more along the lines of George Orwell’s prediction of a boot stomping on your face and never coming off.
The One has staked out his position – he wants more government intervention in everything. Period, case closed end of story. Investment in ‘energy efficiency’? Stimulus! Healthcare problems? Stimulus! Education problems? Stimulus! To claim that there is no pork in the Debt Bill is a lie that would have made Goebbels blush. This is palpably absurd. You want this unconstitutional (for those of you whom support The One, the Constitution is a founding document of the United States and remains the supreme law of the land) policies enacted? Bring them up independently. Don’t shroud these pet projects in a mislabeled ‘stimulus’ bill and scare everyone into voting for it by telling them the world will end if it fails. Looks like the politics of ‘fear’ have trumped the politics of ‘hope’.
The One says the debate is between those that want the government to do nothing and those that want it to do ‘something’. What does that mean? Does He want the government to act for the sake of acting? Why don’t they just start jumping up and down, that’s ‘something’? What is wrong with questioning the validity of an asinine, pork laden, extreme ‘deficit enhancement’ bill? All of this spending could be the anvil that sinks the United States.
I started out by stating that I was in the train station and that I was not surprised that the train was hours behind schedule. This is not just idle complaining, it is an important point. If The One is successful the entire country will operate like this train station, and we will all suffer.
Milton Friedman is probably rolling over in his grave.
