"Meds for Clunkers" program scrapped

Senior citizens have long outlived their productive life according to government officials and need to be scrapped to save billions for the government. "They are wasteful, they produce nothing any longer. They cost far too much and are wasteful of gas" said one high official in Congress.

The proposed end of the program, once known as MediCare, could save the government tens of billions of dollars every year. The government has said it would put up $3500 to $4500 per unit for "burial costs". Local MediCare dealers are throwing up their hands.

The Tom Daschle Act would allow the clunkers to continue being used as long as no money is spent on upkeep and repair. "We will graciously allow them to live out their lives naturally without any life-extending interference" said one member of Congress.

"We expect this program to be very popular" said another.

1st quarter worse than expected, but media lies

1st Quarter GDP numbers were revised downward from -5.5% to -6.4%. This means that the economy did worse than previously thought. So how did the media report this?

NY Times- US Economy shrank less than expected in quarter

Obama: Economy has stepped away from precipice

Dollar falls versus Euro as US economy shrinks at slower pace

Well apparently the europeans and asians actually read the first page of the report instead of listening to the US media.

GOP's last gasp?

Is Sarah Palin as conservative as conservatives and leftists think she is?

I don't know. I do know that she has excited a dying political party and has infused new life into it with her personality. If she is a serious contender for the 2012 Presidency the conservative base will likely come together to support her.

Why? Because the so-called "moderate" Republicans and those who have been drinking the water inside the beltway too long are solidly against her. That is really all the conservatives need to know, who are the enemies? If the media likes a Republican its almost a certainty that he/she is not a true conservative.

Whether Palin does radio commentaries, holds a series of rallies across the country, helps to create a party-within-the-party or tries to run some sort of conventional campaign she is already the top story for conservatives and the leftists alike. They tried to say she was done when she resigned as Governor but by giving her so much coverage they have confirmed her as a political movement to watch.

Pump Up The Crisis!

Since the swine flu epidemic has failed to materialize those who want the federal government to take on new powers need to create a crisis. I know, they can gin it up with press releases and use the media to make it look like there's a crisis.

Then we can bring in foreign troops to train with us for a 'National Level' alert, possibly caused by bio-terror or by, maybe, swine flu. Bring on the scare tactics!

Oh and a judge has now said forced vaccinations are a plenty good reason to suspend the Constitution!

China says US needs to reduce deficits

Its a very sad day when the commies in China make more sense than our own gocernment!

UK by-election results a "stunner"

Chloe Smith, 27, became the youngest MP by winning a by-election in what was considered to be a very safe seat for the Labour Party. Norwich North voters had given Labour a 5,000 vote majority in the last election there but now the Tories won handily.


Not only did Labour lose by more than 7,000 votes they came pretty close to having to battle the Liberal Democrat Party for second place in their rotten borough. If the UKIP votes were added to the Tories it was a clear majority, showing that voters are really fed up with the leftists.



Whether or not the young Chloe Smith can win the next national election remains to be seen but she could become the next wunderkind for the party if she plays this right. After the big showing for the Tories in the european elections and the scandals in the present administration, it could give the Conservative Party their biggest majorities in decades.

Deviationism

In Stalinist Communism deviationism is an expressed belief that is not in accordance with the party doctrine for the time and area.

Lou Dobbs raised questions about Barack Obama's birth certificate and the left goes wild calling for him to be fired or censored by CNN. CNN has mailed out a message to the Lou Dobbs staff saying the issue is "dead".

Obammunism has begun.

"GOP got us in this fiscal mess"

At the beginning of 2007 the unemployment rate was 4.5%, the deficit was $190 billion and the Dow Jones Industrial Average was around 14,000. Jan 2007 is also when the House and Senate saw Democrats sworn in as the majority party.


Its all been downhill since then.


Maybe, just maybe, someone in the media will think to ask Barack Obama about his remarks blaming the fiscal mess on Republicans?? Probably not going to happen.

Transplant: The Dead List

There are probably fifteen thousand or more people in the United States on the Kidney transplant waiting list. Many of these people will die before they ever get their transplant operation. This upsets a lot of people who lose family members, this causes problems for a lot of people. So why won't they even attempt to fix the problem?

Its because the taxpayers pick up a lot of the cost of a transplant operation.

What? You ask, isn't it really because there aren't enough organs available?

No. If they really wanted more people on the waiting list to get kidneys they could easily do it without any problems whatsoever. That is correct, there is a simple solution to the so-called "kidney shortage". But do not expect the problem to be fixed especially if we see a government take-over of the healthcare system.

The problem is not the kidney its the cost. The cost of the operation that often ends up being paid through taxes of one kind or another. The bureaucrats in charge of everything keep people dying instead of giving them transplant to save numbers on a budget line item. Sorry, its not in the budget just go home and die.

If the insurance company, hospital or even the person needing the transplant were allowed to pay $500 or $1,000 for an organ, there would be a vast surplus very quickly. The amount is small compared to the cost of the operation. The problem comes from people who do not have insurance or who cannot pay the costs out of pocket. That is when bureaucrats take control and they have dictated that organ donations not be encouraged.

This is just one more reason why we should go the exact opposite direction than nationalizing the system. We should encourage competition, allow hospitals to create their own plans and sell them and to allow tax-free Medical Savings Accounts. We also need some tort reforms because lawsuits and defensive medicine have added nearly as much cost to healthcare as have health coverage mandates.

"The fire is out?"

Barrack Obama says the economy is back from the abyss and the fire is out. I hope someone will remember this idiotic statement in 6 months. We know the media will never call him on it while we stand in line for our ration card bread.

$24 trillion

The Inspector General says the bailouts could reach $24 Trillion dollars or $80,000 per man, woman and child in this country. That is more than double the current national debt spent on subsidizing and financing failed institutions.

This is insane. Does anyone in their right mind think this could possibly work? Does any sane person think that this is good government policy? Bankrupting this nation to keep Goldman Sachs solvent is insane and ludicrous. If a company fails another will fill its spot and do a better job if it also doesn't want to get replaced.

Obama's Illegal Health Care

Your healthcare will be cut back, rationed. You plan put up for government regulation. All so 15 million poor Americans can get healthcare, oh 12 million aren't Americans.

ObamaCare will help illegal aliens, not Americans.

lol. Who voted for this creep?

Next year in Jerusalem....

The US government has told Israel to stop building settlements in East Jerusalem. This is idiot Obama's way of saying he is siding with the terrorist Palestinians and not recognizing Israel's claim to land it won after being attacked.

Does anyone doubt this is most anti-semitic administration in history?

Summers: What bad economy?

Larry Summers cites Google searches for "economic depression" being down to normal levels as a sign that the economy is on the rebound.

Introducing the next leader of the Federal Reserve I suspect.

Buying Utopia?

The Obama administration is at war with America!

From Cap N Trade, HealthCare, monstrous spending sprees, deadly debt spending and now they want us to pay for the pollution of other countries too.

Its getting crazy. I guess when we are all paying 110% of our income to the government, it will be just like Utopia.

its only money

Good lord.

VP Biden does it again. This time saying the nation really will go bankrupt and that we've got to "go spend money" to avoid bankruptcy.

Then again everyone in this admin is either a crook or insane. We know which category Biden falls in.

No chamber for frightened old men

Lindsay Graham, John Cornyn, Jon Kyl et al must resign immediately. They have failed to perform their duties at the Sotomayor hearing. They pretend to be on the side of truth and yet they avoided the question like the plague.

"Judge Sonia Sotomayor why were/are you a member of the racist organization called La Raza (The Race)?"

It is that simple. They did not ask. Not unless I missed it.

These people are beneath contempt. Cornyn on Face Book asking for advice on what questions to ask. I knew he would never ask this question. Its the most obvious question that needed to be asked.

They were simply SCARED, FRIGHTENED to offend.

If they were debating Shariah Law would they also be scared stiff of offending radical Islamics?

They must resign, or the GOP is dead where it stands.

I hope Republicans are paying attention

This is why we could be living in a Shariah nation someday. Politicians like Jon Kyl, John Cornyn and Lindsay Graham are too scared... frightened to mention La Raza (The Race) of which Sotomayor is a member. It is the hispanic KKK, a race-based, hispanic superiority organization.

The fact is these people do not deserve to be in office. These people are scared to utter the truth for fear of offending someone. These are you guardians? These are the people we want in office fighting for our 'interests'?

These gutless wonders should be mopping floors at McDonalds or greeting customers at Wal-Mart, I hope thats too intellectually taxing for Graham. He doesn't seem to have any cognition faculties left to his use. They are cowards.

If they will not stand up and speak the truth about Sonia Sotomayor, then why are they there?

For what purpose do they breathe the air and collect pay checks that the taxpayers were robbed to give them? They do not. They should all resign in shame and disgust.

Left-Libertarian?

Its an oxymoron. These people cannot be libertarian. Thats as bad as those who call themselves anarcho-socialist or anarcho-communist. Taking two contradictory terms and welding them together does not make it true.

Someone explain it to me. I am listening.

Legal ones under the bus

Massachussettes has decided to deny to 30,000 LEGAL immigrants to save money for RomneyCare. Not the illegals of course. I guess they would think thats wrong.

Sham

Our federal government has been taken over by thugs and criminals and we cannot expect the GOP to lift a finger do anything about it. So where so we go from here?

1800 page 'healthcare' bill that would force everyone to buy their own health insurance or pay a fine annually. This bill likely exempts government and union employees. A bad bill all around.
=================

Now they want to try and pass a toilet paper tax that will be paid by everyone who craps. It will never end, they will never be finished.
------------------------

They will tax us to death. They will tax this nation back into the stone-age.

Daily Mental Illness Update

So the car Czar quits amid a culture of corruption in the Obama White House... I suppose we have a new job opening for any of you unemployed.

-----------------------------------

Whats the reason for confirming racist Sotomayor to the most powerful court in the land for the rest of her life? Her life story? Anything else?

Timmay!! Recession is "very healthy adjustment"

Its just ludicrous to hear first Obama and now Timmay Geithner try to put a positive spin on the economy with the highest unemployment is around 27 years.

I guess its time for the regime to put Bush & Cheney on trial for... something.. or another to distract the sheeple from the activities of the New Obama Order.

Running Silent

I decided that since we have a former? Supreme Court member admitting she thought the purpose of abortion was for eugenics, getting rid of groups 'we' don't like... undesirables? What groups? Blacks? the Poor?

And the Science Czar John Holdren who in 1977 joined Paul Ehrlich in a book to propose a way to end the population "crisis"... For the left who want to scare people into letting them do stuff, everything must be termed a crisis... It was forced abortions, mass sterilizations and a Civilian Security Force just as powerful as an army, with broad powers. It would answer to the UN, or an agency of the UN.

So I decided to write a story... Chapter One is posted

More media double standard

Jack Kelly of the Pittsburgh Post Gazette points out that the Governors of Arizona, Kansas and Utah have all resigned this year to pursue other opportunities, without media criticsm. Imagine their silence when the Governor of Alaska decides to resign? Nope. Could not imagine it.

"It's working as it was intended" - stimulus

Don't worry about the economy, really. That is the basic message from Barack Obama lately who warns you not to listen to those critics like Vice President Biden and the people Obama chose to lead the economic recovery team. Those people are just playing political gotcha I guess?

Unemployment is up and looks to keep rising. But do not worry your peasant heads over this troubling face because the trillion dollar stimulus plan has saved a few dozen part time and seasonal jobs! Recovery is on the way! Sometime. Maybe next year or the year after that.

Its really going to take off when those higher taxes and higher prices for energy, labor and just about everything else kick in. Higher costs and taxes have always been such a boon for economic growth, don't ya know.

Why I was reading some leftist on DU lament that a family members bakery-coffee shop was shutting down for good, can't they hold on a bit longer and let stimulus save those 7 employee jobs? All they need is to pay those employees more and to pay more in taxes and their financial problems will be over!

Using their own terms over at the DU... Those layoffs are the result of corporate greed and we need higher taxes and heavy handed regulations to make sure this happens to everyone. Oops, I guess I just cannot trick my brain into thinking like a leftist.

.......................

Obama suggests sanctions on Iran?

Be careful Mr. President... we wouldn't want you to express an opinion on government brutality and tyranny against its own citizens. That might be "meddling" and we only do that when a leftist leader is impeached in Central America or something. Then we can put sanctions and meddle in a kneejerk fashion and take the sides of the commies. yay.

Might be a little sarcasm in there somewhere.

It can't happen here.... until now

Now we must fight against what we always thought and were told couldn't happen here, branding dissidents as traitors and throwing them into camps. The Washington Examiner, a real newspaper by the way says:

"legislation making its way through Congress would give the White House
power to categorize political opponents as hate groups and even send Americans
to detention centers on abandoned military bases"

The collective freedom of speech

Imagine if one day some leftwing government announced we as a people no longer had an individual right to freedom of speech. Imagine we now had to join an organization and choose someone who would speak on our behalf. Imagine this meant we no longer had blogs, forums, chat rooms, talk radio.... only officially approved 'representatives'.

Do liberal Republicans who love Obama get to 'represent' the conservative sector of America? Your voice now becomes meaningless, you as a person are a slave, an afterthought. You are meaningless, who is going to listen to us? Nobody, we won't be allowed to speak, we have to go to a meeting and vote and if we lose well, so what?

John Cougar Mellencamp thinks this is how things should be. Free speech?? Only for the collective! Its the most frightening thought I have heard in at least a month!

Fairness Doctrine of Venezuela?

News that in an effort to "democratize" the airwaves the government of Hugo Chavez will nationalize 240 radio stations and give them over to government thugs to operate. President Obama thinks "Gee, why can't I do that?"

That Obama Admin is so unfunny

Remember when it used to be a joke to say liberals would give equal rights to terrorists? Well apparently El Presidente has taken the idea to heart.

http://www.cnsnews.com/public/content/article.aspx?RsrcID=50681

Micheal Jackson was a freak

There is nothing sad or lamentable about the death of has-been Micheal Jackson, in fact its probably long overdue. Young boys will breathe easier.

Lets be Frank...

El Presidente Obama intends to have a "frank" talk on abortion with the Pope.

Why? What would be the point? Does he think he can talk the leader of the Catholic Church into changing his mind on a moral issue? Does he think he can get the Pope to say that abortion is NOT murder?

Or will he intend to corrupt the Church incrementally? To get the Pope to issue a statement 'understanding' why some women get abortions? A slippery slope indeed, one that leftists will gladly shove violently down the Catholic throat.

Barack Obama thinks babies are punishment and should be removed post-haste, the Pope should remember that there will be serpent whispering into his ear.

Nope. It was just Joe being Joe again.

After Joe Biden evidently gave Israel a green light to bomb Iran over its nuclear program the White House has been quick to backtrack. Poor old Joe, he just can't seem to get it right. Every time he opens his mouth in public, something stupid pours out.

------------------------------------------------

Puppet of Hugo Chavez apparently circled the main airport of Honduras today before deciding against attempting a landing. He is reported to have said he would try again on Monday or Tuesday. The wannabe tyrant and his pals, like Obama, want to kill constitutional rule in Honduras for good.

They should allow him to land and then arrest him and charge him with treason.

-------------------------------------------------

All kinds of reports and rumors circling the Obama trip to Russia. Some say Obama will scrap missile defense, others say he will forgive the Russian attack against the nation of Georgia.

Biden says....

Biden basically says Israel has a green light to attack Iran. The question is whether he had permission from Presidente Obama to say this.

After Obama's conciliatory behavior towards Tehran this would be quite a surprise for everyone. His ignoring the oppression in Iran and his meddling in Honduras shows his anti-democracy attitude.

Time will tell I suppose.

4th of July

Honduras declares its independence by leaving the OAS, which will accept Cuba now. Our President?? On his way to Russia? What??

The world has been turned upside down.

Obama is not a good American.
