HEALTH CARE REFORM

If Medicare and Social Security can't be paid for, and will soon go bankrupt, why would anyone in their right mind give the green light for our federal government to create a new entitlement program/agency/bureaucracy/economic black hole? If we can't afford the amount of government we already have, how would creating an even bigger government work? If they can't perform the tasks they already charge us to, "on our behalf", what would make any sane person believe that they will do "health care" right, or on a budget? I know that the American people have been dumbed-down in school systems that have been run by that same inept government, but are we really so stupid to believe these people AGAIN??? They can't educate our kids, or give us good transportation systems, or protect our borders, or take care of our old people, or deliver the mail, or manage our economy, or protect us from criminals, etc., etc., etc. Government is what's wrong with America, not what's going to fix it! If you want to make this a better place to live, with more promise, and a higher standard of living, vote out the people who are pushing for more of the cancer that's killing us! It's that simple! California has been taken down the toilet by Democrats, and faux Republican governors. Do all Americans want to join us in the Third World? Reject Obama and the liberals in Congress, and take back your freedom. No more Democrats, and no more RINOS. Vote conservative, Independent or Libertarian, but no more of the DNC/American Communist Party.

ARNOLD, SACRAMENTO and the fall of California

Dear CARB,

As someone who lost their job, in no small part as a result of your agency's idiotic and counterproductive regulations, I would like to take this opportunity to point out how California's government, more than any other factor, has lead to the economic problems that the state is now suffering from. This is but a single example of government's negative impact on our lives.
With a single example, I can show just how destructive your agency has been, both to the lives of thousands of citizens, but also to the very government that created you.
How many millions of dollars has the State of California not collected, from sales taxes and license fees, because your agency hasn't approved Indian motorcycles to be sold in this state? Let's say, two thousand bikes, at approximately $33,000 per unit? I'm guessing, but I put that loss to the state coffers at about $6.6 million.
But the stupidity and the economic injury doesn't stop there, oh no! Because, not only did you prevent those sales from happening, you prevented the sale of many millions of dollars of clothing, boots, tools, trailers, helmets, gloves, bungie cords, tie-down straps, pins, sun glasses, bandanas, trucks, lifts, t-bags, calendars, the list is endless, but also includes after market performance products and paint jobs, that sometimes double the actual price of the motorcycles, so you probably choked on another $6 million of sales tax, but not allowing someone to buy those motorcycles.
But the damage doesn't stop there, my friends, no indeed, because you also didn't get the income taxes from the people who sell and service those bikes, or who make those goodies, or who warehouse those goodies, or who deliver those goodies.
Are you starting to get the picture? Probably not, but at this point, being one of your victims, I'm going to make it perfectly clear. You people are a menace.
Now, if you extrapolate this economic effect out, over several brands of vehicles, and include your regulations against after market exhaust systems and performance equipment, even a bureaucrat should be able to understand the catastrophic effects you are having on our state, and national economy.
And, guess what! Your regs aren't just hurting the motorcycle industry, not by a long shot. Because, when you discourage the aforementioned activities/sales, you also reduce the enthusiasm for the sports, that means you are taking food out of the mouths of the children of the people who work in the restaurants, hotels, gas stations, convention centers, etc., all along the routes these people take while enjoying their motorcycles.
So, when I see the people in Sacramento, our (laughing) "representatives", and the California State Employees Union spokes people, complaining that they aren't getting enough money, it's pretty hard not to use profanity while writing to you.
For the economic activity that motorcycles, and other recreation vehicles, create, if they burned coal, like old locomotives, they wouldn't create enough pollution to justify your agency's policies. Frankly, the state would be better-off if we closed your agency, and had NO regulations on these types of vehicles, any way you look at it.
In light of this political and economic reality, it seems only reasonable that politicians and bureaucrats in Sacramento should be targeted for replacement in the earliest possible elections, and that every effort be made by industry publications and spokespeople to enlighten the people/voters of California as to the bottom-line impact your agency is having on our collective lives.

The Feds vs UBS

I guess Swiss banking giant, UBS, and US federal regulators have come to some kind of a settlement, wherein the bank will disclose the names of American clients holding accounts offshore, so they can be fined and/or prosecuted. Most news agencies report this as some kind of victory for the country, but we should never be so naive as to confuse the government of the United States' interests with those of the American people.
This, along with coming Obama tax hikes and regulations, will only serve to convince the wealthy to actually leave the country, and to take the economic power of their money elsewhere. Just like most things the Democrats do, IRS's policies will only end-up hurting the average American, by sending companies and jobs overseas, and driving what capital that does stay into passive situations. If the wealthy don't trust the government, or feel unwelcome in a country, the leave, and they take prosperity with them. I wonder who the Democrats actually work for.

OBAMA, the Post Office, and the Truth

My God, is there ANYTHING this guy won't say to get what he wants? Now his "public option" isn't going to be subsidized, and will compete with the private sector with price and quality? I think this guy is psychotic! He tries to make his point, about the effectiveness of a proposed government agency/program by pointing out that another government agency can't operate effectively or efficiently, and compete with two private sector service providers? OH, but I guess in his world, health care is so much simpler than delivering an envelope or box???? This guy is either the biggest idiot on earth, or else he thinks the American people are, and assumes his minions in the media will somehow BS us into believing him. I'm going to toss out an idea. How about a postage stamp, in his honor, using that Joker Poster image as the design?

TOILET PAPER IN HAVANA

The Cuban people have socialized medicine, and a brutal totalitarian government, and they can't afford toilet paper. HEY, that kinda sounds like where Obama is taking us, doesn't it? We'll be too broke to afford food, or toilet paper, and if we talk out against the government, Obama will send union thugs over to shut your mouth - or worse - but we'll have free government medical care. I wonder if the Castro family have the same kind of medical care that the average Jose gets from their "Public Option".

Where'd all these Americans come from?

Imagine the surprise, disappointment and irritation the Obama Administration and the Democrats in Congress are experiencing from those pesky Americans daring to say that they don't want socialized medicine.

Was this guy a prophet?

WHY FOXNEWS?

Take a moment and compare the various news outlets on cable television these days - with the sound off. Most of the people on CNN, MSNBC and the like look like someone in the studio has gas, or like they just got a letter from their spouse's divorce attorney, and when you turn on the sound, you'd think you're listening to someone try to housebreak a stupid puppy. I'm not kidding, these people are a-holes, and they're the most condescending a-holes I've ever seen. Then, turn to FoxNews, or Fox Business Channel, and repeat the same steps. The news is the same, and the disaster of an economy is the same, but the people are different. Most of them are smiling, and even if they are disagreeing with a guest, most of the time they are pleasant, they seem to genuinely like the people they work with, and they seem happy to be alive. They look like someone you'd enjoy having lunch with, or being related to, or discussing the issues with, and it's the same, whether the sound is on or off. I don't agree with all of them, but there isn't one of them that I have the desire to give a good smack in the mouth, and I can't say that about most of the people on the other networks. The Fox people act like they are looking out for the American people, and the newsies on the other channels appear only to be fronting for the Democrats, and the Obama Administration, and let the nation and her economy be damned. I'm a conservative, sometimes Republican, but first I'm an American, and I want my news source to be "American", so FoxNews and the Fox Business Channel are where I tend to land. It's kinda like, Who'd ya rather spend the day with, your loving mother, or your bitter, aging, spinster aunt. The weather will be the same, so enough with the sour face already!

OBAMA GIVES $2.4B in awards for electric vehicles

So, I'm assuming that, since these electric vehicles will reduce our need to consume fossil fuels, our beloved leader has discovered some miraculous, previously unknown source of electricity? No, wait, let me think! Ah, he's going to put the obese into forced pedaling camps, where they can generate electricity and lose weight at the same time, on little exercise machines? Right on, Comrade Obama! OK, so, if I get an electric vehicle, and I install solar panels to charge them, and I no longer pay fuel taxes to the government, what is he going to tax me for doing, to make up the loss of revenue?

Beware of Greeks Bearing Gifts!

My late father raised me to listen to all sides, and then to compare that people said to facts, history, and to what I [knew] to be true, from my own experience. What he failed to tell me was, that it's not always the smart thing to express, especially when you are attending an American institution of higher learning, an oversight that made my stint at university something less than a blazing success. In any event, his "Question Authority" doctrine of living one's life did leave me with a pretty clear understanding of the universe, even if it didn't get me a degree.
My father spent some time in military counter intelligence during the Korean War, and some time in law enforcement, and he had a degree in police science, so he was pretty clear on how things work, and about who was doing what in our system.
"Spanky", as I affectionately called him, told me that the Democratic Party had been dominated by the communists for decades, and that that fact actually led him to give-up a career in Army Intel, because he had seen "Democrats" take direct steps to protect certain communist party members that he had investigated, and had encountered situations that indicated to him that people within his agency had disclosed his work, and his reports, to Democratic political figures, who then put pressure on him to stop investigating the people who were engaged in activities of the Communist Party, here in the United States.
So, as I grew up and studied history, and political science, and the world around me, the actions and policies of Democratic politicians and bureaucrats has never surprised or dumbfounded me, because I've known all along what their underlying ideology was, and had I held their views, and had their goals, I would have acted in a similar way. "Liberals" are merely communists who don't want people to know they are communists, but they always promote laws and regulations, and agencies, that help them promote an eventual conversion of our system to a communist system, AND, whenever you mention "communist", or "socialist", their method is to scoff, and to ridicule, and to call you a conspiracy monger, and to deny that communism exists in this country, and that, even if it did, it was simply an enlightened world-view, and not a criminal political conspiracy and organization. In other words, "The greatest trick the devil ever played was convincing the world that he did not exist."
— Charles Baudelaire
If people like can shine a light on this political fungus, and open the eyes of the American people to the Truth, and we can prevent Obama from institutionalizing his economic, social and political agenda for one, and then two more years, it's possible that a great victory can be won by a newly "conservative" GOP, or perhaps a third party, and by the American people, if that new party takes the necessary steps to strip-away the institutions of socialism, and to restore the freedom that the Left has stolen from them over the decades, once and for all.
We cannot simply "compromise" American liberty any longer, allowing the Left to take 10% each year, and then brag about how we've defended the American people. In fact, if you compromise 10% each year, in ten years you have successfully "defended" away ALL of your freedom. It is time for the American people to start TAKING back their Bill of Rights, and their Constitution, and start persecuting and prosecuting the usurpers and traitors who have transgressed against us. If we do not, and soon, any real Americans left in N. America better start thinking about secession, or emigration, to secure for our future a safe haven for American liberty, against the onslaught of one-world government, and a return to the norm of history, tyranny.
When Barack Obama and the Left tell you they are going to give you something for nothing, they are lying. When they tell you that they are going to create jobs with higher taxes and more regulations, they are lying. When they tell your children are going to get a better education in their system, that has failed generations of Americans in the past, if you will only give them more money, they are lying. If they tell you they want a strong America, they are lying. If they tell you that the government can deliver [better] health care than the private sector, they are lying. This is NOT about YOU. This is NOT about AMERICA. This is about them, their beliefs, and their very anti-American political goals.
Maybe the Democrats should change their party symbol, from a Donkey, to a Trojan Horse.

OBAMA'S MESSAGE TO AMERICA

Read My Lips! I'm not trying to impose Socialism on America! I'm not a liar! I'm not a communist! I'm a lawyer. I'm from Chicago. I'm a "Community Organizer", like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. All my friends and associates are communists and radicals, but I'm as American as apple pie, and I love capitalism, and American freedom, and private property, and the Bill of Rights. We can borrow and spend our way out of bankruptcy. I'm not trying to nationalize the health system of the United States. I don't want to own the auto industry, or the banks, or the energy industry, or the manufacturing industry, or all other industries, I just want to have complete control over all aspects of them, and to be able to regulate and/or tax them into complete compliance with my will. But I don't want to "OWN" them! Now, turn to MSNBC, or CNN, so my news bitches can lie to you some more, I'm on a conference call with Fidel!
