Street Fair in Pelosi Land

This is what passes for entertainment in Nancy Pelosi's district. Welcome to Up Your Alley 2008! It's nice to know that the person setting the congressional agenda for the whole country represents such a mainstream population.





And I'm not talking about homosexuality. It's about the malignant narcissism and Anti-American sentiment that pervades this cesspool of nihilism and depravity.


But speaking of homosexuality:

"YCDC understated number of new HIV infections in US

Yearly estimates allow better recognition of trends in the U.S. epidemic. For example, the new report found that infections are falling among heterosexuals and injection drug users.
Some experts celebrated that finding, saying it's a tribute to prevention efforts, including nearly 200 syringe exchange programs now operating in 36 states despite a federal ban on funding for such projects."

"But they also lamented the CDC's finding that infections continue to increase in gay and bisexual men, who accounted for more than half of HIV infections in 2006. Also, more than a third of those with HIV are younger than 30.

Gee! Ya think?

Some advocates say that suggests a need for more prevention efforts, particularly targeting younger gay and bisexual men."

Actually, these guys know quite well how to prevent AIDS and throwing good money after bad isn't going to change anyone's behavior. Why is it that I should care more about their lives than they do?

The Wisdom of Dear Leader Pelosi

Politiburo chief Nancy Pelosi lies and insults our intelligence with this vapid post:

"The president has failed in his economic policy, and now he wants to say,
'but for drilling in protected areas offshore, our economy would be thriving and
the price of gas would be lower.' That hoax is unworthy of the serious debate we
must have to relieve the pain of consumers at the pump and to promote energy
independence.

Today, the New Direction Congress will vote on legislation to bring down
gas prices by taking crucial steps to curb excessive speculation in the energy
futures market. The president himself could lower prices by drawing down a small
portion of our government oil stockpile, the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. The
New Direction Congress will continue to bring forth responsible proposals to
increase supply, reduce prices, protect consumers, and transition America to a
clean, renewable energy independent future."

Instead, she blocked a vote on drilling and then shut the joint down. As reported here before, blaming speculators for current gas prices is like blaming the dead canary for the gas in the coal mine. But this sounds good to her willfully ignorant base because if someone is making more money than them doing something they don't understand, then it must be evil.

This is the same type of warped warped logic that says the law of Supply and Demand is "a hoax" while believing that the theory of Global Warming is fact.

Pelosi also tells us that the idea of increasing our domestic oil supply by billions of barrels is unworthy of serious debate (sound familiar?), but then proposes to lower prices by releasing some of the 35 days worth of oil supply in the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. That will lower prices by at least a penny for five minutes.

She and Obama must have gone to the Salvador Dali School of Economics.

How do Democrats Define "Fair Share"?

Washington is teeing up "the rich" for a big tax hike next year, as a
way to make them "pay their fair share." Well, the latest IRS data have arrived
on who paid what share of income taxes in 2006, and it's going to be hard for
the rich to pay any more than they already do. The data show that the 2003 Bush
tax cuts caused what may be the biggest increase in tax payments by the rich in
American history...The idea that this has been a giveaway to the rich is a
figment of the Lefts imagination. Taxes paid by millionaire households more
than doubled to $274 billion in 2006 from $136 billion in 2003. No President has
ever plied more money from the rich than George W. Bush did with his 2003 tax
cuts. These tax payments from the rich explain the very rapid reduction in the
budget deficit to 1.9% of GDP in 2006 from 3.5% in 2003.

Most of the "rich" are small business people who are the particular engine that drives the economy. Obama and his apostles in congress would like to throw a monkey wrench into that engine despite the fact that it will result in less money to the treasury. This will satisfy the mythical goal of fairness of outcome rather than opportunity which is really just a quest for power. The statist left doesn't care if the pie is smaller as long as they control more of it.

Remember this exchange from an April debate?

MR. GIBSON: And in each instance, when the (capital gains) rate dropped, revenues from the tax increased. The government took in more money. And in the 1980s, when the tax was increased to 28 percent, the revenues went down. So why raise it at all, especially given the fact that 100 million people in this country own stock and would be affected?

SENATOR OBAMA: Well, Charlie, what I've said is that I would look at raising the capital gains tax for purposes of fairness. We saw an article today which showed that the top 50 hedge fund managers made $29 billion last year -- $29 billion for 50 individuals. And part of what has happened is that those who are able to work the stock market and amass huge fortunes on capital gains are paying a lower tax rate than their secretaries. That's not fair.

Pelosi Slanders Military; Credits Our Enemy

Having a Speaker from the most Anti-American district in the most Anti-American city means you get statements like this:

"Well, the purpose of the surge was to provide a secure space, a time for the
political change to occur to accomplish the reconciliation. That didn’t happen.
Whatever the military success, and progress that may have been made, the surge
didn’t accomplish its goal. And some of the success of the surge is that the
goodwill of the Iranians-they decided in Basra when the fighting would end, they negotiated that cessation of hostilities-the Iranians."

So the surge is a failure, but any success we may have had is due to the "goodwill" of our enemies. Is the fact that Iran is responsible for the deaths of hundreds of our troops goodwill?

Is their support for their terrorist proxy Hezbollah goodwill? I guess it is since she also visited terrorist sponsor Syria over the strenuous objections of the White House and State Department.

These actions give aid and comfort to our enemies, demoralize our troops and allies and contribute directly to US deaths. Nancy Pelosi's words and actions betrays her country's efforts. That makes her a traitor. There's no other way to put it.

Americans With No Abilities Act

Call congress and tell them to vote for The Americans With No Abilities Act. There's people I'd rather you support than me.
