No Place to Run

One nice thing about living in Cuba or other totalitarian states is that you can always run to the United states when it gets to be “too much.” Where do we “run” when it gets to be “too much” here? There is no other country where it is better than it has been for a long time here. All we can do is STOP a dictatorship from rising here.

PHONY NUMBERS: Doctors are now told that any time ANYONE comes in with “flu-like symptoms,” they WILL diagnose it as “Swine Flu.” Whether or NOT he/she is sure. This is just the beginning of the government giving doctors orders.

1,900 PAGES: With one week to read and digest it before voting on it. IF this is the “final bill.” Nancy Pelosi has released the “super-secret” (in a “free and open administration”) 1,900 page health care bill and has scheduled a vote on it next week. This is not how you run a free country. This is how you run a dictatorship. Present bills that are so complicated and long that NO ONE understands them and demand that Congress vote on it within a week. Do they really think we are that stupid?

MADE-UP NUMBERS: The Obama administration has said they have “created or saved” thousands of jobs. How do you count “saved jobs?” that sounds like a “made-up number” from the beginning. You MIGHT be able to count CREATED jobs if your definitions are VERY loose. One small contractor claimed to have created 1.7 MILLION jobs, by himself! I don’t believe ANY figures Obama (or his administration) come up with. He has proven himself a congenital liar.

TAX INCREASES IN A RECESSION: This is insanity! Yet that’s what the Democrats, under Obama, are working feverishly to do. How stupid ARE they? Unless they WANT to destroy our economy (which I think they do), it’s not something you want to do. But they’re doing it. They have even promised to let Bush’s tax rate cut “expire,” which will create one of the biggest tax increases EVER. Remember, the tax cuts that created a “booming economy?”

CUTTING DOWN TREES: Environmentalists are very hard on people who use a lot of paper because we have to cut down more trees to provide it. So why are they not screaming to high heavens about Pelosi’s 1,900 page bill that was just released to Congress? I look at that stack of paper (a FOOT high) representing ONE copy of a bill that is sent to ALL congresspeople and ALL Senators, and everybody else that wants one. That’s THOUSANDS of copies! Just THINK of how many trees they’ll have to cut down to make that amount of paper!

Cash for Clunkers

It was a “big success,” according to liberals. But in actuality, it was a colossal failure, since they didn’t foresee that if they offered “free money” people would line up around several blocks to get it. so they cut it off early and, while auto sales “went through the roof” while it was on, as soon as it stopped, they “nose-dived,” and have not recovered since. And won’t for a while, since people who were going to buy cars anyway, took advantage, and thus won’t buy now.

OVERSTATED BY 5,000: The government “overstated” the number of jobs “created or saved” by 5,000. Associated Press says, “There is no evidence they did it on purpose to make their numbers seem better.” No? Here’s one example: in one case, one company used the stimulus money they got, not to hire new people, but to give raises to current employees. In another case they hired a bunch of people to field calls about the government-provided digital TV converters. Do you BELIEVE this crap?

IMPUGNING YOUR MOTIVES: The IRS can disallow ANY deduction by simply saying they don’t believe your motives are pure. And you don’t get to argue about it. How can they do this? We’re under a DICTATORSHIP now. It happened the same way here as it did in Germany under Hitler.

FUNDAMENTAL TRANSFORMATION: Obama says, “We are fundamentally transforming the United States of America.” From what, TO what? America has surpassed societies thousands of years old in less than 300 years with individualism and capitalism! We don’t NEED to be “transformed!” What he’s doing is making us into a socialist nation. And if you don’t know what socialism is, you’d better find out, and quickly.

DESTROYING THE INSURANCE BUSINESS: Obama SAYS he’s simply trying to create a “level playing field” in the insurance business by creating a “public option” that pits the government against them. The government does NOT need to make a profit. Insurance companies DO. That alone destroys any idea of a “level playing field.” It will run them all out of business. There are already THOUSANDS of insurance companies. Why do we need one more that does not need to make a profit?

DIGGING UP DIRT: It is said that Nixon tried his best to “dig up dirt” on John Kennedy. Knowing Kennedy, it’s amazing to me he did not succeed! enough people have since he died.

"Thought Criminals"

What are those? They’re people some bureaucrat has DECLARED to be committing “hate crimes.” Did gay man Matthew Shepard (murdered by gay-haters) care if his killers got the chair once, or twice because his murder was a “hate crime?” Punishment is already there for such people. We don’t need a way for a bureaucrat to punish people MORE for what they’re THINKING.

CRIMINALS TO JAIL: Swindlers go to jail. Bernie Madeoff did for only bilking people out of billions. But other swindlers, who have bilked people out of TRILLIONS of dollars, such as Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, and Barack Obama, have not. Why? Because they did it while holding elective office in Washington, DC. That makes then somewhat “untouchable.” Mostly because THEY control the means of prosecution.

“WE VOTE”: I see bumper stickers every once in a while that say, “I’m . . . . . and I vote.” Fill in the blank with any group of people you want. Truth is, some voters scare the hell out of me because they “pay no attention to politics” and thus, have NO knowledge of what or who the candidate is; what he/she stands for. That’s how we got Obama, the furthest left-leaning president since FDR. One that will, if he isn’t stopped, lead us into socialism and make of us, the “new Soviet Union.”

CREATED RECESSION: Liberals (Democrats) CREATED the recession we’re now enduring by forcing lenders to loan to people who would/could not repay it. They did it to “take over the government.” Now they’re there, they’re telling us “the recession is over,” even though unemployment is still rising (nearing 10%) and showing no signs of getting better. Other indicators are also down. They want us to ignore that and just listen to what they say. If you want to know how that got them elected, just ask.

ECONOMIC JUSTICE: That’s a typical liberal “code word” meaning guaranteeing the OUTCOME. This is not what the founders intended. They only intended to guarantee the OPPORTUNITY. What happens after that is up to the individual. This has created a society that has surpassed societies that have been around for THOUSANDS of years in less than 300 years.

DEFUNDING ACORN: After they got caught with” their hands in the cookie jar,” so to speak, Congress voted to defund them—for one month. But they didn’t tell you that. This is a typical political scam.

Cruel and Unusual Punishment

That’s unconstitutional. But when they “confiscate” a car co-owned by a man and his ex-wife because he was caught getting oral sex in the back seat IS “cruel and unusual punishment.” That might represent a $5,000 fine for a small thing (no pun intended). Under the RICO laws, they can take your property for almost ANYTHING without even having to take the trouble to PROVE you’re a lawbreaker.

COPS AS CRIMINALS: The RICO laws allow cops to stop you on the street and STEAL (“confiscate”) any cash you might have on your person by simply SAYING ”it is ‘probably’ drug money. You CAN get it back after you post a bond (at your expense if you have any money left) promising to pay THEIR expenses, win or lose. They don’t even have to PROVE it is. And they now have a device they can use to “scan” your pockets (using that microscopic “line” that broadcasts its existence and denomination in every new bill) to see if you have enough to make it worth while to mug you. In many areas, the cops get a “cut” of the loot.

START WITH NON-VIOLENT DRUG USERS: They’re releasing many prisoners early. Even VIOLENT criminals, to “save space” because they’ve got more prisoners than they can afford to keep jailed. This is wrong. Release a violent criminal and it’s only a matter of time before you have to arrest him again, and maybe somebody is dead (research Willy Horton). The prisons are FULL of non-violent drug users who have committed no crime except to hurt themselves by using drugs. Let them go and suddenly you have loads of room in our prisons and you save billions of dollars.

SURPRISED? New York is surprised that people are leaving New York in droves to escape paying their record high taxes. They say “the rich” are doing it, but it is EVERYBODY who can afford it. Mostly those who CREATE the wealth New York wants to steal. Yes, “the rich” are abandoning New York in droves. But so are other people who don’t want to support losers with money they have EARNED.

WHY LISTEN TO BARNEY FRANK? Every time he says anything he slobbers all over the microphone,and does not make sense. How does this half-wit jerk get re-elected? He and Chris Dodd CREATED the economic downturn by FORCING lenders to loan money to people who were NOT “creditworthy” and would never repay it (a recipe for disaster). But he’s STILL blaming Bush for it. Yes, he’s gay. But that’s as irrelevant as he would be if people quit listening to his drivel. If you can PROVE me wrong on this, I’d appreciate it.

GOVT. OPTION ISN’T FREE: That’s how they’re trying to sell it to you, but that’s a typical liberal lie. It will cost the taxpayers (YOU) trillions of dollars. But the Obama crowd doesn’t care. It’s not THEIR money. They gaily spend YOUR money with abandon. But notice they never spend THEIR money.

"Let's Create A Crisis"

That’s what Obama is doing with the “Swine Flu” crisis. Guaranteed: the first few minutes of any newscast is devoted to “whipping up” panic about the “Swine Flu pandemic that does not exist. Doctors are told that if ANYBODY comes in with ANY kind of symptoms that MIGHT resemble ANY kind of flu, they are to attribute it to “Swine Flu.” Nothing like lying about it to make the numbers look better.

MAKING IT TRUE: Obama and his cronies have long said the war in Afghanistan “cannot be won.” And they are now in the process of “making it true” by having Obama play golf instead of making a simple decision about sending more troops at the request of the generals in the field. Soldiers are dying while he vacillates, but that doesn’t matter to him.

“LEVEL PLAYING FIELD”: That’s what Obama always says about his health care swindle. But it’s NOT a “level playing field” he is creating when he pits the GOVERNMENT (which does NOT have to make a profit) against private insurance companies, which DO. The goal is to run them out of business, which this will do, if it is passed.

INTERSTATE INSURANCE: Currently, it is illegal to buy insurance from a company in another state than the one in which you live. This stifles the insurance industry and its profits. They won’t even ENTERTAIN the idea of a change in this system.

A SIMPLE SOLUTION: The way to stop our dependence on foreign oil is to allow drilling for oil in our own country, or in areas WE control. But they won’t do that. They won’t even talk about it. Can anybody see how they are RUINING us?

WHY DO THEY DO IT? Why do people keep on building and rebuilding IN THE SAME PLACE after maybe the FIFTH time they have been hit with hurricanes, fires, floods, or earthquakes? Are they stupid, or what?

Biggest Tax Increase Ever

That’s what we’re going to get if Obama carries out his threat to let Bush’s tax rate reduction expire in 2010. Aside from the fact that RAISING taxes in a recession is INSANITY, letting those reductions (which IS a major tax INCREASE) “go away” is ALSO insanity. Those cuts were responsible for the economy being the best it has ever been, until the Democrat “Citizen’s Reinvestment Act of 1976” was triggered just before the election to ensure the election of as many Democrats as possible and it DESTROYED the economy.

GOVERNMENT LIES: swine flu deaths; problems Bush left Obama; 47,000,000 deaths from smoking; stun gun deaths. All of these things are “put-up jobs” based on attributing things to them that are NOT due to them. Like attributing any fire they can’t find the cause of to “careless smoking.” Thus, they have falsely made “careless smoking” into an ogre.

IT’S ALL ABOUT POWER: Everything Obama does is a scheme to increase the power over the rest of us that he, and other democrats (liberals) have. It’s not about the money, except to pay for his grandiose schemes that make us all more dependent upon him and his henchmen.

IF IT MOVES, TAX IT: If it doesn’t move, tax it anyway. The liberal (Democrat) method is to find any excuse to increase taxes, even if to do so will destroy the economy. They don’t care. The effect of their knavery will not show itself until after they’re gone.

“ARE YOU LISTENING?” I can’t help answering the woman in the ad asking, “Washington, are you listening?” by saying, NO! They’re NOT listening. If you disagree with them, you’re misinformed, or a racist. They’ll label you whatever they need to, to keep you from derailing their efforts to take you over.

SOME DAYS: Some days, I wasn’t too thrilled with Bush. But EVERY DAY Obama does something that ENRAGES me. Why do some people still like this jerk? He needs to be impeached and removed from office for violating the Constitution every day he is “in charge.”

Contemptuous Indifference

That describes Obama's response to ANY opposition to his plans. He calls ANY opposition “racism” and “misinformation.” But he provides NO proof it is either. He cannot. There is none. He does what he wishes, regardless of the constitutionality of his actions. He does it by force. If anybody opposes his men who come to steal their property, they shoot and kill them with no more concern than they’d use swatting a fly. These are actions of a DICTATOR. He is not yet a dictator, but he thinks he is. He thinks he can do ANYTHING he wishes, to ANYBODY, with NO consequences. We need to disabuse him of this notion.

AIN’T HE SWEET? Obama wants to send us “old folks” a $250 gift instead of the cost of living increase that has been promised, and which is in the law. He thinks that will make up for the thousands of dollars we will NOT be getting to offset the “money drain” (inflation) HE is causing by spending our money by the TRILLIONS. Money we don’t have, so he is merrily printing money out of thin air, making ALL money in existence worth less.

ONE MORE REASON: I’ve never had a credit card. I’ve always felt they got you in more credit trouble than they were worth. Now they can get you in trouble even (especially) if you keep your balance low and always pay right on time. CitiBank and other financial institutions are now arbitrarily closing many accounts, without warning. They close the accounts, THEN send the customer a letter, which usually gets there AFTER they’ve been embarrassed while trying to use the card, and lying about the reason for closing the account. If that ever happened to me, that bank would never see another penny of my money (such as it is).

RAISING TAXES IN A RECESSION: That’s INSANITY! Taking more money away from people when they’re fighting, just to stay afloat financially, is STUPID. But don’t expect Democrats (who are in charge) to be intelligent enough to know that. They’ll call this “misinformation” and me a “racist” for writing it.

“SLEIGHT-OF-HAND”: Obama’s fight with Fox News is simply “sleight-of-hand” to take our attention off how he is ruining our economy, moving us ever closer to collectivism (socialism, fascism), while stealing more and more money to make us pay for it.

TAXING BUSINESS: Obama constantly talks about “taxing business” to steal some of their profits to pay for his grandiose schemes (He does not use those words. Like most con-men, he puts it in words that make it sound like he’s doing us a favor so we won’t feel his hand in our pockets while he steals our wallets. The truth is, EVERY tax he puts on business will be “passed on” to us through higher prices charged for their products or services.). We end up paying that tax.

“FLU DEATHS”: like in most cases where they want to “demonize” something, they “attribute” deaths to it which are NOT due to whatever they’re demonizing at the moment. They used that same modus operandi to demonize smoking and they’re using it to promote their “flu scam.”
