Obama's Pyrrhic Victory

Republicans finally showed some backbone on spending when it doesn't matter as they solidly opposed Obama's payback to the Democrat base disguised as "stimulus". At least the lines are now drawn and the Dem's moonbat base seems to like it that way.

Obama is now finding out that bi-partisanship is more than just inviting the opposition into the room and giving them nothing other than to say "I won". No one should be surprised since stubbornness, arrogance and a blind devotion to the Church of Government have been fundamental to his entire political career, such as it is.

The real losers here are the American people, especially the Obama cultists who will have a hard time blaming Republicans for the high interest rates, unemployment and stagflation that will surely result from the Democrats Utopian Socialist fantasies that will now be put into practice.

Looking at the details of this disaster, it's clear the only winners, at least temporarily, are trial lawyers, labor unions and every other unproductive parasite that comprises the Democrat base.

Islamo Nazi Celebrates Holocaust

The video above is Egyptian Islamo-Nazi cleric Amin Al-Ansari not only predictably blaming Jews for every problem in the world, but gleefully celebrating Nazi atrocities as he salivates over film footage of their murder and torture.

At the same time we have Iranian Government spokesman Gholam Hossein Elham, informing us that the holocaust never happened:

"The Holocaust is a concept coming from a big lie in order to settle a rootless regime in the heart of the Islamic world,"

These inconsistencies are unimportant when your goal is to blame someone else for the primitive and brutal societies you have created. Without the Jews and America, these corrupt, medieval regimes would be overthrown.

Iranian president Ahmadinejad is also demanding that we apologize to his country and stop supporting "Zionists".

But B. Hussein Obama's strategy is to feed this hatred by confirming this nonsense:

"And my job is to communicate to the American people that the Muslim world is filled with extraordinary people who simply want to live their lives and see their children live better lives. My job to the Muslim world is to communicate that the Americans are not your enemy. We sometimes make mistakes. We have not been perfect."

Yeah well, they are our enemy, Barry. Your weakness will do nothing more than provoke these maniacs further. Stop apologizing for not living up to an impossible standard that these dirtbags don't even care about, much less try to achieve themselves.

Obama's Economic Death Cult

The Democrat "stimulus" plan is turning out to be the largest pork laden vote buying scheme in human history as Jamie Dupree lists in gory detail.

It includes every wasteful congressional pet project imaginable and will do nothing more than create more government jobs and reduce the liberty and wealth of individual Americans. That these economic strategies have never worked in the past anywhere in the world doesn't matter to the left since their blind faith in The Church of Secular Government doesn't allow them to learn from history or common sense.

One of the High Priests of this religion is Paul Krugman, who calls himself an economist but is really a cheerleader for any policy that subjugates the economic decisions of individuals voluntary trading with one another for the enlightened micromanaging of a vast economy by the anointed.

Here's his latest moronic take on government vs. freedom:

"Next, write off anyone who asserts that it’s always better to cut taxes than to increase government spending because taxpayers, not bureaucrats, are the best judges of how to spend their money.

Here’s how to think about this argument: it implies that we should shut down the air traffic control system. After all, that system is paid for with fees on air tickets — and surely it would be better to let the flying public keep its money rather than hand it over to government bureaucrats. If that would mean lots of midair collisions, hey, stuff happens."

Beyond Krugman's breathtaking arrogance and condescension, his analogy is not only incoherent, but insane. Since when have tax cuts "shut down" the government? And who the hell is suggesting that we eliminate taxes all together as Krugman suggests in his inane analogy?

It's also an apples to oranges comparison. Actually, apples to basketballs. Fees for air traffic control directly benefit those that pay them. Krugman's magical government spending plan is like borrowing against future ticket fees and spending it on shrubs outside the train station. The next step will be to raise the fees to pay for the borrowing. That means less people will travel and airport jobs will be lost in order to employ landscapers.

Oh, and don't forget the cut of 30% or so that the government rakes off the top to administer this largess.

Krugman babbles on:

"The point is that nobody really believes that a dollar of tax cuts is always better than a dollar of public spending. Meanwhile, it’s clear that when it comes to economic stimulus, public spending provides much more bang for the buck than tax cuts...because a large fraction of any tax cut will simply be saved."

Yeah that's it Paulie. It's impossible for anyone to honestly believe in anything you don't agree with. We all know that government is far more efficient than the private sector that risks its own money and actually has to compete in the real world. What rock have you been living under?

Krugman also frets that individuals will choose to simply save their own money as if it's a bad thing. Where does this fool think the credit that has virtually stopped comes from? The more deposits and investments banks and corporations have the more they have to invest and lend. But Krugman thinks its more efficient to impose the government middleman who will choose where to invest our money taken by force and given to the politically favored, such as criminal organizations like ACORN. That's efficient?

Heres a video from The Center for Freedom and Prosperity that explains the folly of this nonsense in a way that even intellectuals and Paul Krugman can understand:




"Every government interference in the economy consists of giving an unearned benefit, extorted by force, to some men at the expense of others." - Ayn Rand

Jeremiah Wright 2.0

It looks as though B. Hussein Obama has found a new racist lunatic preacher to replace the mentor of twenty years who married him and baptized his children. Joseph Lowery took the opportunity during the inaugural benediction yesterday to insult white Americans in childish rhyme:

Lord, in the memory of all the saints who from their labors rest, and in the joy of a new beginning, we ask you to help us work for that day when black will not be asked to get in back, when brown can stick around ... when yellow will be mellow ... when the red man can get ahead, man; and when white will embrace what is right.

The New Patriots

MySpace Celebrity and Katalyst present The Presidential Pledge


The election of one man to public office has now inspired the celebutard community to finally consider themselves Americans and patriots. The video above of minor Hollywood knuckleheads is a self congratulatory celebration of their discovery of common decency. Andrew Breitbart sums it up well:

This video illustrates that the current celebrity class are not citizens but serfs. They need a leader to put their minds in the right place to do the right thing. They are not heroic individualists seeking to extend America’s promise but conformists who chose to sit out and complain during the tough years in order to ensure their guy got in the next go-around...

...Remember this video: It is a instructive relic of the era of celebrity decadence and boutique anti-Republican activism under President Bush. It is a sickening display that they want fast and easy absolution for having comported themselves like ill-behaved children for eight difficult and war-torn years.

Good luck, President Obama. The rest of you can go to hell.

Teacher suggests renaming streets may help cut crime

Here's a stroke of brilliance from a government school teacher:

FORT PIERCE — A middle school teacher thinks drug dealers and gang members might take their illegal activities elsewhere if the city renames major streets in the black community after tulips, daffodils and birds.Bryce Archer, a physical education teacher at Dan McCarty Middle School on Mississippi Avenue, suggests the city rename several of the numeric and alphabetical streets that dot the black community — such as Avenue D — and give them names. Too many gangs, he said, take pride in naming their groups after numbered streets.

That's it. Re-name the streets. That will solve the 70% out of wedlock birthrate and 50% dropout rate in the black community. Although I would suggest that everyone dropout of this "school" immediately and get a GED. Unsurprisingly, this idiotic idea has other supporters:

Mayor Bob Benton said he would support renaming the streets in the northwest section of the city if enough people from the neighborhood want it...City Commissioner Reggie Sessions, who lives in and represents the northwest district, said he would support changing the names of some of the major corridors, including Avenue D and 13th Street, but he doesn’t believe it’s going to rid the area of crime.

No Kidding. But at least it represents hopenchange.

Report: Over 8 in 10 corporations have tax havens

Since the US (combined with state taxes) has the highest corporate tax rate in the industrialized world, I don't know why anyone is surprised by this:

WASHINGTON (AP) - Eighty-three of the nation's 100 largest corporations, including Citigroup, Bank of America and News Corp. (NWSA), had subsidiaries in offshore tax havens in 2007, and some of the companies received federal bailout funding, a government watchdog said Friday.

But that wont stop liberal fascists from demagoguing an issue they created. They're solution is to make the US even more unattractive to business and capital.

"Sens. Carl Levin, D-Mich., and Byron Dorgan, D-N.D., who requested the report, have pushed for tougher laws to fight offshore tax havens around the globe. Levin, who leads the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, has estimated abusive tax havens and offshore accounts cost the U.S. government at least $100 billion a year in lost taxes. "I think we should take action to shut down these tax dodgers and we will be introducing legislation to do just that," Dorgan said."

Does he mean he wants to shut down the companies themselves? I'll just chalk that statement up to the usual Democrat incoherence and take him to mean the shelters themselves. These economic morons also seem to have a problem distinguishing between legal tax avoidance and illegal evasion.

Several major corporations have announced plans to leave Bermuda, a leading offshore business center, amid the global financial crisis and fears of tighter tax rules. Tyco Electronics Ltd., which makes electronic components, and Foster Wheeler Ltd., an engineering and construction company, are reincorporating in Switzerland - which has a tax treaty with the U.S. - for tax and other reasons. Covidien Ltd., a health care products company, is heading to Ireland.

Gee, what a surprise. But Democrats think it's the victims fault for not standing still while they're plundered by these crooks.

"Anyone may arrange his affairs so that his taxes shall be as low aspossible; he is not bound to choose that pattern which best pays thetreasury. There is not even a patriotic duty to increase one's taxes.Over and over again the Courts have said that there is nothing sinisterin so arranging affairs as to keep taxes as low as possible. Everyonedoes it, rich and poor alike and all do right, for nobody owes anypublic duty to pay more than the law demands."

- Judge Learned Hand(1872-1961), Judge, U. S. Court of Appeals

More Dire Predictions From NASA nutcase

Taxpayer funded lunatic and liar James Hansen is now predicting that the Obama admin. has only four years to save the world from global warming:

"Hansen said feedbacks in the climate system are already accelerating ice melt and are threatening to lead to the collapse of ice sheets. Sea-level rises will therefore be far greater."

He's talking about arctic ice melt while ignoring the thickening ice in the antarctic. Nevertheless, can someone explain how melting ice causes sea levels to rise? Has the Archimedes Principle been repealed? I was always taught that melting ice in liquid had no effect on volume.

Why am I still paying the salary for this fascist con man?

Tom Hanks: Mormons Un-American

Speaking with the usual projection that characterizes the Left, Tom Hanks bravely calls out the members of a small religious group for exercising their rights of free political speech. He also makes veiled threats against them:

"...and the truth is a lot of Mormons gave a lot of money to the church to make Prop-8 happen,” he told Tarts. “There are a lot of people who feel that is un-American, and I am one of them. I do not like to see any discrimination codified on any piece of paper, any of the 50 states in America, but here's what happens now. A little bit of light can be shed, and people can see who's responsible, and that can motivate the next go around of our self correcting Constitution, and hopefully we can move forward instead of backwards. So let's have faith in not only the American, but Californian, constitutional process.”

In other words, Hanks is warning anyone that disagrees with him and the radical gay agenda that they better not express their views, lest they be intimidated and boycotted. He's the real American and you better agree with him or else.

I've looked for Hank's statements condemning the execution of gays throughout the Muslim world but can't find any. Huh. That's weird.

Back For More Therapy

I've haven't been posting for almost a month for various (mostly boring) reasons. But since MSM hack and fraud Mike Barnicle tells me that blogging is therapy, I'm back with a renewed commitment to my mental health.
