THE RATHER BIZARRE RAVING OF THAT SAD, STRANGE, LITTLE, MAN, ROBERT REICH*…
I’ve never spent much time watching Current TV, but the few times that I have, the experience has always left me feeling, well, like I’ve been on a week long bender. It’s like I wake up in a room not sure how it was that I got there and then I have the urge to look out my front window to make sure my car is in the driveway. It’s a rather unpleasant experience that has me promising myself I’ll never do that again. My most recent episode came about when I was exposed to former “BJ” Clinton miniature Labor Secretary, the very tiny Robert B. Reich. “Little Bobby” was appearing on Current TV as a sort of pseudo-fact checker regarding Mitt Romney’s recent statements that Obamacare raises taxes by $500 billion, and cuts Medicare by $500 billion. “Little Bobby” claimed that both ascertains simply weren’t the case, and cited absolutely no evidence to support his claim other than to say that Romney’s plans are worse. Well, alright then, that’s good enough for me. You?
I think “Little Bobby’s” claims are a bit delusional to say the least. Why, you ask? Well because first of all he says that he doesn’t know of a single credible study that says that Obamacare will raise taxes by $500 billion. Now I am far from being any kind of an expert, and unlike “Little Bobby”, I’ve held any position in government that would provide to me a level knowledge that most of have. But I’m pretty sure that the Congressional Budget Office is something that can be considered as being a credible source. ABC News reports: The Romney campaign’s explanation for why Obamacare is rife with taxes is testimony from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office that the Affordable Care Act (ACA) will raise approximately $500 billion in taxes over its first 10 years. According to the CBO, this claim is right. According to the CBO’s latest, revised estimates released in March 2012, the reform law raises “$510 billion in receipts and other budgetary effects, including the “individual mandate” tax penalty and penalties on employers.
And what about the Medicare claim? Well, funny thing about that too. Because you see, according to the Chief Actuary for Medicare and Medicaid, that’s also true, albeit with some caveats. Again, from ABC News’ fact check: So does it “cut” Medicare by $500 billion? Medicare spending will continue to grow, according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), but ACA will slow that growth. According to a report from the Kaiser Family Health Foundation over the next 10 years, the federal government will devote about $500 billion less to Medicare than it would have without ACA. CMS and the Kaiser Family Foundation tell ABC News that there will be no benefit cuts to Medicare. They say instead of Medicare’s being cut, there will be much more spending at the end of a 10-year window, but it does slow the rate of that growth. This is all unless Congress makes drastic changes to Medicare, for example passing House Budget Chairman Rep. Paul Ryan’s Medicare Plan.
So “Little Bobby” is essentially two for two here. Now you would think with his being a former Labor Secretary he would know how to read government data, but alas, that is apparently not to be. Which, I suppose, shouldn’t come as to big of a surprise to anyone, because we’ve been hearing all manner of leftist drivel from this clown for decades. When dealing with pathetic characters like “Little Bobby”, one very quickly come to realize that the truth is nothing more than something to be sacrificed as soon as it ceases to be of any benefit. More often than not Democrats like “Little Bobby” have very little use for the truth. For them it pretty much has the same effect as sunlight has on vampires. There’s an age-old tactic that Democrats have become very proficient at utilizing. It’s where they take an obvious falsehood and together with their willing cohorts in the state controlled media, repeat it ad nauseam as if it was a solid gold fact. “Little Bobby” is but the recent example.
* When I first posted this little piece, you would have been able to watch the video of "Little Bobby" lying through his teeth. But since that time this 'network' that spews more lefist crap than MSNBC, appears to have made all of their videos private and only viewed by the like-minded morons who comprise, what I can only imagine is, their rather miniscule viewing audience.
SO NOW THE TEXAS LOTTO IS RACIST? YOU GOTTA BE KIDDIN ME...
In what is yet another example of the old adage, truth is stranger than fiction, especially whenever you're dealing with blacks in this country, the Dallas, Texas, chapter of the NAACP has now made it quite clear that it doesn’t particularly like the Texas lottery. Why is that you ask? Well, apparently, it's because this collection of self-promoting racial sociopaths seem to think hat it’s a regressive institution that offers only a minuscule chance of financial success in exchange for taking gigantic amounts of money cettain “vulnerable populations” every year. Presumably, and as something that should come as no great shock to anyone, they would rather that Texas make up the revenue it gets through the lottery with higher taxes on the rich. The NAACP, which long ago ceased serving any useful purpose, wants to stop seeing low income Texans pumping money into the state lottery by, you guessed it, putting the entire lottery out of business. And that's even though it's in poorer communities that the lottery does seem to offer the best chance at a life otherwise considered to be out of reach.
Now, David Anderson is a fella that collects disability but still manages to spend a few bucks every week in what is an effort to test his luck. “It’s up to me, spend this five dollars or should I go buy a loaf of bread and hamburger to feed the kids,’ he said. And I have to say htat I agree with him. He's a grown adult and there is no one standing behind him holding a gun to his head forcing him to spend his money on the purchase of lottery tickets. The whole thing is completely voluntary. So why shut down something that’s raking in the money? So far in 2012 Texans have spent more than $3.3 billion in lottery tickets. Anyway, the rationale here is quite the typical one for those who seem to be so determined that we need to be protected from ourselves. “They have this delusion that they’re going to win,” said chapter president, and complete moron, Dr. Juanita Wallace. “I want them to shut it down,” she said. “Our people are spending their little money, their life savings away in hopes of winning.” The group has actually voted to urge state officials to do away with the lottery. And just what is this imbecile a doctor of, exactly?
Now strangely enough, this may actually be the first time that we’ve ever seen one liberal organization’s need to be paternalistic clashing with an equally obsessive desire of so many on the left to ensure as much money as possible ends up being sent to government coffers. Their idiotic little argument here, in attempting to justify this particular little puritanical outing is unlikely to surprise anyone. This is a real reach, as well as being nothing but one more instance where the accusations regarding the existence of some perceived racial victimhood, or injustice, is less than persuasive. And I'm not sure how these clowns at the NAACP see the making of such a foolish argument s being anywhere near constructive toward they're being successful in meeting their their supposed stated objectives. But it does raise more than a few questions. For one thing, while we can‘t speak to Texas’ public school system specifically (but based on the increasingly grim state of public education generally), might investing money in the lottery be a more reliable route toward upward mobility?
And on what I hope will be seen as being on a less sarcastic note, what is the lottery, exactly, if not a symbol of the risk inherent in upward mobility? It’s not as though no one ever wins the thing, in fact, more often than not it's quite the news story when someone does. How exactly is it hurting “vulnerable populations” to let them partake in something that will provide to them a little hope, even if it's a rather slim hope? Also, does the Dallas NAACP really think that those “vulnerable” populations so incapable of impulse control that they’ll spend themselves into oblivion on the something as silly as a lottery? And how might those who comprise these “vulnerable populations” view a NAACP that sees them as being so stupid that they would spend the family food money on lottery tickets? In fact, might the answer to this last question call the non-racist credentials of the Dallas NAACP into doubt? I mean, I thought it was just us white folks who were supposed to have such a low opinion of blacks. And with so many questions floating around the proposal, perhaps the only vulnerable population the Texas NAACP should be looking out for are their own arguments.
So, is it just me, or has there been a definite increase in declaring all things racist ever since we screwed up and elected our first truly black president? Not counting "BJ" Clinton. I get a little tired of being lectured to by those who insist upon residing in the shallower end of the gene pool or who remain firmly affixed to the lower rungs of the evolutionary ladder. Race has become the defining issue for nearly everything these days, even those things that you would not normally consider as being, and in no possible, tinged by anything racial. Race should never be factored into any equation when it comes to stipulating who should and who should not be 'permitted' to be involved in something so inconsequenctial as playing a lottery. And why should those of us who do not fall under the supposed guardianship of the NAACP be punished just because this group thinks blacks are too stupid to be responsible? Who died and left these knuckleheads boss anyway? I like buying ticket every once and while myself, and why shouldn't I be able to just because the NAACP seem to be of the opinion that blacks are somehow being victimized?

YUP, FAST AND FURIOUS IS ALL ABOUT RACE...

OBAMACARE, WHAT'S THE NEXT STEP? IS THERE A NEXT STEP?
Now that a majority of those nine supposed guardians of our Constitution have officially spoken, what is the next logical step for we the people in ridding ourselves of this massive exercise in governmental intrusion into, what used to be, our private lives? Or, would the more appropriate question be, is there a next step, logical or otherwise? Barry’s health care law has now become the largest ever tax increase in American history. Surviving by a 5-4 decision, thanks to that gutless fraud, John Roberts, Barry's health care law will mean less coverage, less care and at higher costs for the poor and middle class. The complete opposite of all that we were promised. The ruling is not only a major disappointment for the millions of Americans concerned about freedom and the cost and availability of quality health care, but it is but one more example that we are on the verge of losing this grand experiment in individual freedom. Some say that this will likely prove to be a political liability for Barry, I wish I could be so confident.
Although the court has upheld the law, there was still some manner of division over just how best to provide health care. The challenge now is to move forward and to seek repeal or revision of whatever elements of the law that prove to be unworkable. Although this trial-and-error approach to government is less than ideal, it is necessary. And, essentially, it may be all that we have left. Much of the effort will revolve around the law’s initial goals, such as the need to reduce the cost of health care. Health care spending, which is now approaching 20 percent of GDP, is clearly out of control. It threatens the budget of every citizen and dims our chances of economic recovery and long-term prosperity. But this approach is obviously not the best solution, by any means, but it is something we are now stuck with. But without addressing such things as much needed tort reform as well as some serious changes in insurance regulations, such as purchasing insurance across state lines, no meaningful reform will be possible.
And something that I would have thought would have been painfully obvious to those on the court, at least those of the more conservative persuasion, is the fact that the law places, what one should expect to easily recognize as being, an unacceptable limit on personal choice. It very clearly undermines the time-honored principle that health care decisions are best made between the patient and their doctor. The law changes that equation, and not anywhere near for the better, not by any stretch. Instead it hands over to Washington bureaucrats, control over all important medical decisions. These unelected, faceless, cubicle-bound bureaucrats can alter, or even deny, treatment. And that must not be allowed to stand in any way, shape manner or form. Barry's healthcare law was never subjected to any kind of an honest debate, but was instead a massive exercise in Democrat deception from the beginning. And it was only after the plan became law that most of what it contained was revealed. And we're still finding out stuff.
As then-Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi once stated, Congress would have to pass the bill so we could all find out what was in it. A case in point was Barry’s presentation of the plan. He repeatedly said that individuals could keep their health care plans if they liked them. But he lied to us, because according to a Congressional Budget Office study released earlier this year, that simply isn’t true. As many as 20 million people could lose their employer coverage under the law. Barry also said that his plan would reduce health care costs and would not increase the federal debt. Again, Barry looked us dead in the eye and lied to us. Because we learned later that those statements were patently false as well. Then again, he also said that the mandate wasn’t a tax. Another lie. So what we have here is a law that was purposely constructed upon one lie on top of another lie on top of yet another lie, and that has now been determined to be constitutional, all those lies notwithstanding.
There remain may serious concerns about the law. Such as the changes and cuts to Medicare and popular programs such as Medicare Advantage. Another is that the law does nothing whatsoever to address the massive amount of fraud in federal health care programs that costs taxpayers billions. We face a very serious challenge here. In the midst of a stubborn recession, millions of Americans face uncertainty about their economic futures. A key contributor to that continuing uncertainty is the cost of health care under this horrendous law. While some say the only way forward is for Barry to cooperate in an open and honest evaluation of the health care law and to consult with Republicans and Democrats, retaining the elements of the law that work, alter those that can be salvaged and repeal those that cannot, I simply don't see that happening. Where's the incentive for him to do it. And frankly, I think it more than just a little naïve to expect him to do something even remotely like that.
Congressional Response to this disaster of a ruling:
Democrats:
Nancy "I'll Have Botox Til My Face Splits" Pelosi: "In passing health reform, we made history for our nation and progress for the American people. We completed the unfinished business of our society and strengthened the character of our country. We ensured health care would be a right for all, not a privilege for the few. Today, the Supreme Court affirmed our progress and protected that right, securing a future of health and economic security for the middle class and for every American."
Steny "The Gas Bag" Hoyer:"Our highest court has weighed in, and its decision to uphold the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is a victory for all Americans who have ever worried about being able to access or afford the care they need. Democrats are proud to have worked hard to pass this landmark legislation in 2010 and of our efforts to make sure it is implemented in a way that continues to yield new benefits for patients, employers, and care providers."
"Dingy Harry" Reid: "I'm happy, I'm pleased to see the Supreme Court put the rule of law ahead of partisanship."
Max "Klinger" Baucus, a key architect of the law: "This is a win for millions of American families, small businesses, and seniors who are getting more affordable health care, tax cuts, and protections from insurance company abuses thanks to this law. Now it's time to put politics aside. We need to move forward and find ways to work together to put America back on track."
Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore.: "Today's decision creates a clear path forward. We must now focus on how to best deliver affordable, high-quality health care for every American."
"Little Chuckie" Schumer: "This decision preserves not only the health care law, but also the Supreme Court's position as an institution above politics. Just as Speaker Boehner vowed not to spike the football if the law was overturned, Republicans should not carry on out of pique now that the law has been upheld. Democrats remain willing to cooperate on potential improvements to the law, but now that all three branches of government have ratified this law, the time for quarreling over its validity is over. Congress must now return its full-time focus to the issue that matters most to the public, and that is jobs."
Republicans:
House Speaker John Boehner: "The president's health care law is hurting our economy by driving up health costs and making it harder for small businesses to hire. Today's ruling underscores the urgency of repealing this harmful law in its entirety. What Americans want is a common-sense, step-by-step approach to health care reform that will protect Americans' access to the care they need, from the doctor they choose, at a lower cost. Republicans stand ready to work with a president who will listen to the people and will not repeat the mistakes that gave our country ObamaCare."
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor: "The Court's decision brings into focus the choice the American people have about the direction of our country. The President and his party believe in massive government intrusions that increase costs and take decisions away from patients. In contrast, Republicans believe in patient-centered, affordable care where health care decisions are made by patients, their families and their doctors, not by the federal government."
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell: "Today's decision makes one thing clear: Congress must act to repeal this misguided law...The bill was sold to the American people on a deception."
House Republican Policy Committee Chairman Tom Price: "Today's ruling by the Supreme Court has set a dangerous precedent by allowing this administration to continue pursuing its unbridled effort to erode personal freedom and undo the principles upon which this country was founded... President Obama's health care law trumps personal health care choices in exchange for a more powerful Washington. It will force American citizens to endure diminished quality of care, increased insurance costs, health care rationing and excessive taxation brought on by an overzealous Washington bureaucracy. We have no choice but to exercise every possible legislative option to repeal this disastrous law, and the American people should know that House Republicans will continue to advocate on their behalf to restore personal control over health care decisions."
Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio: "While the Court has deemed the law constitutional as a tax on the American people, it is still flawed policy that is unaffordable for our families, our small businesses, and our government. The President's one-size-fits-all health care spending law is the centerpiece of a failed agenda that has increased economic uncertainty, stalled job creation, and deepened the spending hole that Washington has dug."

MORE OF THE GAS BAG CHRONICLES WITH STENY HOYER...
Well, we apparently now have jumping on the bandwagon, joining many of his fellow Democrats who have been busily accusing House Republicans of attempting to create some sort of a “distraction” regarding their decision to issue contempt charges against Attorney General Eric "I'm a Racist" Holder, as well as they're supposedly “refusing” to work with House Democrats on several bills that it is claimed will save 1.9 million jobs, we now have Steny "The Perpetual Gas Bag" Hoyer.
It was at his silly little weekly “pen-and-pad” news briefing, that Hoyer once again demonstrated his rather perverted view of things by berating his GOP colleagues for holding Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt for his refusing to produce Justice Department records in connection with a committee probe into Operation Fast and Furious. “Unfortunately, the Republicans continue to seek and practice confrontation over consensus,” Hoyer said. A Democrat talking about consensus? Sure thing!
Hoyer blathered on saying, “That’s true on the highway bill, was true on the student loan bill. I think we may have overcome that. And it is absolutely true on what Republicans have now proposed in terms of the contempt citation being approved by the House to hold the Attorney General of the United States in contempt.” The contempt citation Hoyer was referring to was passed by the House Oversight and Government Reform last week, and is headed for a vote in the full House on Thursday.
“In less than nine days, this Republican-led House rushes to judgment, creates confrontation, and distracts the Congress of the United States from dealing with the most important challenge confronting us, and that’s creating jobs for our people,” Hoyer said. Rushes to judgment? How many months has this thing been dragging on because of a blatantly uncooperative Attorney General and an even more patently dishonest president? Who is it, exactly, that can be said to be creating confrontation?
Then we have Rep. Elijah Cummings another pathetic old gas bag of a Democrat from Merryland, the ranking Democrat on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, who joined Hoyer for the news conference. Cummings said that Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), the committee’s Republican chairman, was wrong to pursue contempt charges against Holder. “The 16-month investigation has found no link whatsoever between the Attorney General and Gunwalker,” said Cummings.
First of all, and something that this doddering old moron should know, there hasn't been much of an investigation thus far because both Holder and Barry have been fighting tooth and nail to keep everything concerning the "Fast and Furious" debacle as tightly under wraps as possible. Now I know Elijah probably is only capable of viewing this as "black thing", but I think the American people, as well as the parents of the agents who lost their lives, deserve some answers.
Anyway, this sad old dolt, Cummings, affirmed his belief that the attorney general had no involvement in the scandal. “It is clear, from us looking at all the testimony that has been produced, that the Attorney General did not know about these tactics in Fast and Furious,” Cummings said. “He did not condone them. He did not authorize them and Mr. Issa knows that.” So what, because Holder is black, he gets a pass? Sorry, both he and Barry need to provide some much needed answers!
Ya know, hypocrites like this old gas bag Hoyer and his racist little sidekick, Elijah, seem to be of the opinion that there are folks outside of their rather bizarre little circle who believe anything that they say. Because you can bet your bottom dollar, if this was a Republican administration, both of these pathetic clowns would be right out front and calling for people to go to prison and for the president to be impeached. But hey, with one of there own in the White House, and being black no less, it's a totally different story.

WHO'S WATCHING CNN?
That so-called 'news organization' so often referred to in the past as the Clinton News Network because of it staunch support of "BJ" Clinton, or as the Communist News Network because of it's consistent and rather obvious tilt to left regarding how it chooses to 'report' the news, has now appeared to have fallen on hard times regarding the number of folks who actually tune in to watch. Ted Turner's little creation has been experiencing somewhat of a steady decline in viewership over tha past several years, and apparently, this past May, has now taken yet another big ratings blow with it coming off its least-watched month in primetime in 20 years. The cable news network has registered to its lowest-rated quarter in primetime since 1991.
For this year’s second quarter, CNN hit a new low among total viewers and the key adults 25-54 demographic, with all primetime programming posting some pretty steep declines. The network averaged just 446,000 total viewers and 129,000 in the 25-54 demo in primetime. Compared to last year’s second quarter, that’s down 35% and 41%, respectively. Rival Fox News Channel, meanwhile, with 1.79 million primetime total viewers on average, was down only 1% from its 2011 second-quarter numbers. FNC lost 14% in the 25-54, bringing in 355,000 viewers. MSNBC was down 13% in total primetime viewers, with 689,000 on average, and down 17% in the 25-54 with 217,000. The quarter ran March 26-June 22.
Individually, CNN shows hemorrhaged viewers heavily compared with last year. Wolf Blitzer’s The Situation Room, which airs from 4-6 PM ET, was down 42% in 25-54 and 26% in total viewers. His show is expanding to three hours beginning Friday, taking over CNN’s recently cancelled John King U.S.A. At 7 PM, Erin Burnett OutFront, which debuted in October replacing a then-moving John King U.S.A., was down 45% in 25-54 from last year’s second quarter and down 33% in total viewers. Piers Morgan Tonight, which replaced Larry King Live in January 2011, was down 33% in the 25-54 and 29% in total viewers. Some of you may remember that ballsy little prediction by Morgan that his new show was going to take Fox News down a peg. Not quite, Piers!
And then of course we have Anderson Cooper, who in kinda pulling double duty, likewise took a bit of a double hit. Anderson Cooper 360 at 8 PM was down 23% in the 25-54 and 19% in total viewers, and its 10 PM airing was down 48% in the demo and 44% in viewers. The top-rated cable news shows for the second quarter were all FNC shows, with The O’Reilly Factor and Hannity sitting at No. 1 and No. 2. Now wouldn't you think, at least from a purely business sense, that those in charge over there at CNN would want to maybe take a little different approach to how it is that the 'report' the news. What exactly should the objective be? Is it to entice more people to watch by providing genuinely accurate information, or is it to present the 'news' in such a way that you appear to be nothing more than a surrogate of the Democrat Party?

Individually, CNN shows hemorrhaged viewers heavily compared with last year. Wolf Blitzer’s The Situation Room, which airs from 4-6 PM ET, was down 42% in 25-54 and 26% in total viewers. His show is expanding to three hours beginning Friday, taking over CNN’s recently cancelled John King U.S.A. At 7 PM, Erin Burnett OutFront, which debuted in October replacing a then-moving John King U.S.A., was down 45% in 25-54 from last year’s second quarter and down 33% in total viewers. Piers Morgan Tonight, which replaced Larry King Live in January 2011, was down 33% in the 25-54 and 29% in total viewers. Some of you may remember that ballsy little prediction by Morgan that his new show was going to take Fox News down a peg. Not quite, Piers!
And then of course we have Anderson Cooper, who in kinda pulling double duty, likewise took a bit of a double hit. Anderson Cooper 360 at 8 PM was down 23% in the 25-54 and 19% in total viewers, and its 10 PM airing was down 48% in the demo and 44% in viewers. The top-rated cable news shows for the second quarter were all FNC shows, with The O’Reilly Factor and Hannity sitting at No. 1 and No. 2. Now wouldn't you think, at least from a purely business sense, that those in charge over there at CNN would want to maybe take a little different approach to how it is that the 'report' the news. What exactly should the objective be? Is it to entice more people to watch by providing genuinely accurate information, or is it to present the 'news' in such a way that you appear to be nothing more than a surrogate of the Democrat Party?

TRYING TO TIE THIS TO BUSH JUST AIN'T GONNA WASH…
Since day one of this thing first coming to light, there has been a concerted effort by many on the left to deflect all manner of blame away from Barry. They have been very busy, as of late, conducting what can only be described as a public relations blitz as they perpetrate a very transparent attempt to downplay any and all significance of the debacle that was "Fast and Furious". And just as doggedly as they have attempted to blame everything for the last three years, on Bush, they are also willing to expend whatever energy that may be necessary to convince the American people that this whole miserable failed gunrunning initiative is one more thing that can also be pinned on Bush. The claim being made is that "Fast and Furious" was a continuation of a Bush operation that was conducted under the name, "Wide Receiver."
The pathetic insinuation that “Fast and Furious’’ is somehow something that can be considered as a continuation of the Bush-era operation may look good on paper, but in truth is that this little cockamamie theory we’re hearing more and more from an ever growing number of slimy Democrats, just doesn’t hold water. There are simply no facts that are available that actually offer any support for such wishful thinking on the part of those on the left. Nowhere near. There is simply no there, there. But when have facts ever stopped these guys? They just focus their efforts on creating a perception that can then be used to blame their predecessor. Even that rocket scientist, White House Press Secretary Jay "Dim Bulb" Carney last week attempted to shift the blame from Holder and Barry “Almighty” and onto the Bush administration.
“Everything has been provided to — congressional investigators and that is really the issue, isn’t it? It is how did this operation come about. It originated in a field office during the previous administration. It was ended under this administration by this attorney general,” our favorite idiot Carney said last week. But taking part in even the most cursory of fact-checks would very quickly reveal his assertion as being nothing more than what would at least appear to be a very purposeful lie. And if our current batch of media hacks were even the slightest bit interested in actually uncovering the truth instead of joining in the effort and assisting this president as he works to cover up his tracks, then I feel confident in saying that we would know a hell of a lot more about who was involved here.
However, the differences between the two operations are stark and should be considered.
(1) First and foremost, operation Wide Receiver did not result in the death of a U.S. Border Patrol agent or an Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer. Fast and Furious did. The guns that ultimately killed Border Patrol agent Brian Terry and ICE officer Jamie Zapata were traced back to straw purchasers related to Fast and Furious. Zapata’s family has now filed a wrongful death suit against the U.S. Justice Department, doing so just last week. Further, officials have confirmed that the guns from Fast and Furious have already killed hundreds of Mexican citizens and Holder has said on the record that they will likely kill many more. The total number of confirmed deaths so far from Wide Receiver: Zero.
(2) Second, Wide Receiver, though flawed, was more of a gun-tracing operation than a gun-walking program. Gun-tracing involves putting specific safeguards in place to track firearms, such as RFID chips perhaps with video or aerial surveillance. Gun-walking is what happened in “Fast and Furious”, where ATF agents sold literally thousands of guns without any reliable way to recover them, apparently just hoping for the best. Some of the guns from Wide Receiver were implanted with RFID chips and were actively tracked electronically. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) in Phoenix also implemented aerial surveillance tactics in an attempt to follow the weapons. The morons in charge of “Fast and Furious” took no similar steps to strengthen their chances of recovering walked guns other than recording the serial numbers before watching them disappear in the hands of Mexican drug cartels. In fact, ATF agents involved in “Fast and Furious” have previously testified that they were ordered to stand down and not track the weapons even when interdiction was possible and instead “took notes” and let the guns walk across the Mexico border.
3) Third, one must take into account the size and scope of the operations. Speaking to members of the Senate Judiciary Committee earlier this month, Holder said that “three hundred guns” were allowed to “walk” (although note the difference between “tracing” and “walking” above) in Wide Receiver. While there is no evidence that suggests otherwise, the figure is dwarfed by the approximately 2,000 firearms that walked in “Fast and Furious”. Roughly 1,400 guns were ‘lost’ and about 700 have been recovered in Mexico and at crime scenes like the sites of Terry and Zapata’s murders.
(4) Perhaps the most convincing little piece of evidence proving the two operations are totally separate from each other is the fact that Wide Receiver was shut down in 2007 shortly after it was clear the program was a failure. This was before Barry “Almighty” and his imbecilic sidekick, Holder, were even in office and nearly two years before “Fast and Furious” began. “Fast and Furious” wasn’t shut down until late 2010 after the deaths of hundreds of Mexicans, a border agent and an ICE officer.
(5) Finally, unlike “Fast and Furious”, officials involved in Wide Receiver were reportedly in close contact with Mexican authorities during the operation, though how involved Mexican officials were is not entirely known. What is known is that Mexican authorities were kept completely in the dark during “Fast and Furious”, according to the Mexican ambassador to the U.S. Mexico. He announced on June 1, 2012, that Mexico would be launching its own probe into “Fast and Furious”.
Look, it should be perfectly clear, here, that both the Bush and Barry “Almighty” administration conducted two separate and quite flawed operations. One, however, was a much deadlier and larger operation than the other. If there is evidence of wrongdoing, or false testimony related to operation Wide Receiver, those responsible should be held accountable. But the argument that currently being presented that “Fast and Furious” is somehow only all about “politics” and should just be swept under the rug because the previous administration also carried out a similar program is completely irresponsible. But such behavior should not come as a surprise to anyone, as it should be considered as being something completely expected. That’s how this sleazy group has operated since day one.
So, much to the chagrin of such brilliant minds as one Sheila Jackson Lee and the others who make up her rather warped little crowd of malcontents, there is simply so way that these two separate and yet flawed operations, can be tied together. Like it or not, “Fast and Furious” is very firmly tied to their guy, not mine. My guy was smart enough to be able to recognize when things seemed came off the tracks and then took the necessary steps to quickly, and properly, wraps things up. Barry just pretty much cuts things loose and then proceeded to quickly head back the house to later claim that he knew nothing about what might have occurred. So now they’re busy doing what it is that they always do, lie, distort, deceive and blame the other guy. It’s Barry’s standard operating procedure.
IT'S TO BE EXPECTED FROM A CHICAGO THUG POLITICIAN...
The American people, that is if they haven't already, need to be preparing themselves for what are sure to be the pretty ugly days that most certainly lie ahead as we approach the fall. According to the Associated Press, Barry "Almighty's" campaign team is already busying itself recruiting what's been described as being legions of lawyers so as to be properly prepared to handle any and all disputes that may arise between now and Election Day. And whenever you have Barry involved, it's a safe bet that you're sure to have some disputes.
So Barry's army of literally thousands of attorneys along with their support staff, have all signed on and are standing at the ready to aid in any way possible in providing all manner of legal support. The numbers seen thus far appear to be unrivaled by Republicans and by any precedent. Barry's campaign says it's particularly concerned about the implementation of new voter ID laws, challenges to voters and the handling of voter registration. In other words, what they're really worried about is their ability to get away with massive voter fraud.
Barry's legal counsel Robert Bauer has accused the GOP of pursuing measures specifically designed to prevent Barry from repeating his get-out-the-vote success of four years ago. Which we know is nothing but a crock of shit! So out of necessity Republicans have formed legal teams of their own, as well as a conservative organization that is training thousands of people to serve as poll watchers. The GOP says it is concerned about people voting fraudulently. And it should be! Voter fraud has always proven to be very productive for Democrats.

A BRILLIANT PLAN NOW UNDERWAY TO 'SAVE' THE POSTAL SERVICE...
I think most of us would agree that the time has now come for Benjamin Franklin's Postal Service to finally be allowed to go the way of the dodo. It's no longer a cost effective operation, bleeding literally Billions of taxpayer dollars year after year after year. Personally, I think we should give the private sector a crack at it. However, having said that there is an effort currently underway that is designed to bring attention to the financial plight of the Unites States Postal Service (USPS) and to fight calls for its privatization. Apparently, 10 postal workers, activists, and supporters think they have now come up with the perfect way to do just that. What these imbeciles have done is to actually announce, just on Monday, that they would be staging a four-day hunger strike. Just four days? Gee, that's not much of a commitment here folks. In fact it's kinda lame!
Rep. Dennis Kucinich, DEMOCRAT, and yes the fella that has conversed with aliens from another world, joined the protesters on Capitol Hill for their big announcement (which nobody saw because everyone was watching the Supreme Court that morning) and offered words of encouragement. “Make no mistake about it, this is an effort to try to privatize even more postal services,” said Kucinich who, naturally, is not joining in the hunger strike. Adding, “And this would inevitably result in less service, and higher costs for postal service for the American people.” When asked why he wasn’t joining the hunger strike, Rep Kucinich responded: “I’m a vegan, so I’m kind of hungry all the time. I’m here in moral support of their efforts.” What a stand up guy old Dennis is. Definitely the kind of guy you want on your team.
The protesters say they are focusing their attention on a requirement that mandates the “postal service pre-fund retiree health benefits 75 years in advance,” at least according to POLITICO. “The postal service has adapted to the change in the volume of mail,” said Jamie Partridge speaking for Communities and Postal Workers United, a labor group that has “partnered” with the protest. “That’s not what’s killing the postal service. Not the Internet. Not private competition. Not even the recession. It’s this prefunded mandate.” Wearing yellow T-shirts with the phrase, “Congress is starving the postal service,” the 10 hunger strikers plan to march on Capitol Hill, USPS headquarters, and the Washington Post headquarters (because the WaPo published op-eds endorsing budget cuts) before ending their hunger strike on Thursday, write the Post's Lisa Rein reports.
So, am I the only one here who thinks this is a pretty stupid idea. I mean look, if you're gonna go on a hunger strike, then make it a bona fide hunger strike, not some Hollywood diet for four days. And how much of an impact do these clowns really expect to have. Oh I'm sure they'll get a fair share of Democrats, but only because we're talking about union folks and there's the threat that the government might potentially waste a little less of our money. Nope, I'm just not seeing the point here. And how do we know that these 'hunger strikers' won’t be getting food snuck into them? These people always have to find a way to cheat. They just want us to think that they're starving themselves for four whole days. The bottom line here is that we need to cut our losses, and turn the entire postal service operation over to some private firm that can do it better and cheaper.

TIME FOR OBAMA AND HOLDER TO FESS UP...
What did these two pathetic creeps know and when did they know it? This is not a distraction and it is not politics. I'm sure that's how sleazy Democrats choose to view it. But imagine, if you will, if the man in the Oval Office was George W. Bush, or any Republican. Slimy Democrats and their many minions in the state-controlled media would be screaming from the rooftops for impeachment. But with one of their own in the White House they are strangely silent on the matter of any laws that most assuredly have been broken. So we, the American people, must take matters into our own hands and come this November we must drain the swamp. This administration will undoubtedly go done in American history as being this nation's most corrupt.

HOWARD 'THE SCREAMER' DEAN CHANGES HIS TUNE A BIT...
During a quick little interview with Red Alert Politics last week, former DNC Chairman Howard ‘The Screamer’ Dean made some rather revealing comments concerning his stance on the fate of the Affordable Care Act, aka, Obamacare. Dean, supposedly a doctor himself, has not been shy in criticizing the administration and their tactics in passing the immensely controversial bill. But last Friday he seemed to brush aside the individual mandate, a key achievement of the legislation, actually calling it, unnecessary. The interviewer then asked if Dean would like to see the entire bill struck down so that Democrats could then have the opportunity to pass something even more radical.
“I hope the healthcare bill does not get struck down, other than the Individual Mandate, which was never necessary in the first place,” Dean said in response. But he proceeded a bit more cautiously when asked about a single-payer system saying, “The rest of the bill does a lot of things for a lot of Americans.” He went on, ”We’re never gonna see a Canadian-style, single-payer system,“ adding ”This isn’t Canada.” Dean hypothesized that “different single payers in different areas” might reduce healthcare costs but was otherwise non-descript on the issue. Well this isn’t Canada but that fact did seem to keep Dean and his fellow Democrats from trying to turn us into a Canada-like country.
THE CONTINUING SAGA OF OUR NATION'S 'SECOND WORST' PRESIDENT...
After having recently lost his title of "Worst President in American History", Jimmy Carter has continued his efforts to maintain the title of worst former president. A title he will hold, I'm sure, only until such time that we are finally able to rid ourselves of Barack Hussein Obama. Anyway, in the meantime Jimmy's out doing his best to pad his already considerable lead in the hopes that Barry won't be able to catch up with him. Efforts that now have Jimmy loudly proclaiming that the United States has abandoned its role as the world’s champion of human rights and cites the recent stories of targeted assassinations and drone attacks that have killed innocent civilians as “disturbing proof” of how the country has lost its “moral leadership.” Now you would think that Jimmy would be well behind these drone strikes, after all, at least those on the receiving end aren't being tortured. Gee, we just can't make this guy happy.
Writing, and probably with one of those very fat 'Crayola' crayons, in a New York Times op-ed piece, published just today, Carter delivered what was described as a blistering attack on the administrations of Barry "Almighty" and George W. Bush, as well as Congress, accusing all of sanctioning and conducting a caliber of foreign policy and counterterrorism that would have been completely unthinkable in years past. “The United States is abandoning its role as the global champion of human rights,” Carter wrote. Adding, “Revelations that top officials are targeting people to be assassinated abroad, including American citizens, are only the most recent, disturbing proof of how far our nation’s violation of human rights has extended." According to our old buddy Jimmy, “This development began after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, and has been sanctioned and escalated by bipartisan executive and legislative actions, without dissent from the general public."
Jimmy went on to say, “As a result, our country can no longer speak with moral authority on these critical issues.” Look, Carter has always demonstrated a rather quirky fondness for always wanting to take whatever position that was specifically opposed by his own country, no matter what the topic. And it was his supposed work on 'human rights' and on 'advancing democracy' that garnered for him a Nobel Prize that was essentially a joke. A joke ranking right up there with the Nobel collected by Al Gore for his bogus climate change nonsense and the Nobel collected by Barry for a reason that no one's quite been able to figure out yet. In recent history the receiving of a Nobel Prize has become much less an act of recognition for some significant accomplishment and more simplyh a statement of pure politics. It has now been bestowed upon so many who were so undeserving as to have now become meaningless except as a possible footnote in one's bio.
Carter has also declared that U.S. actions had violated at least 10 of 30 articles in the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which was adopted to protect people from “cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.” Saying, “At a time when popular revolutions are sweeping the globe, the United States should be strengthening, not weakening, basic rules of law and principles of justice enumerated in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.” He added, “But instead of making the world safer, America’s violation of international human rights abets our enemies and alienates our friends.” Carter was highly critical of a wide range of counterterrorism and national security measures put in place in the aftermath of the September 11 terrorist attacks. In this regard he was of the same opinion as a significant majority of his fellow appeasnik Democrats who would have rather had us simply sit on our hands after those terrible attacks.
Citing everything from “cleared” detainees still being held at Guantanamo and that evil waterboarding 'torture' of prisoners to “unwarranted wiretapping” and “mining of private communications,” Carter said U.S. laws and polices now violate the basic rights to privacy, freedom of expression, and the presumption of innocence. But Carter reserved his harshest criticism for the U.S. drones strikes that have killed innocent civilians in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen, and elsewhere in the effort to take out al-Qaida leaders and operatives. “We don’t know how many hundreds of innocent civilians have been killed in these attacks, each one approved by the highest authorities in Washington,” Carter wrote, adding, “This would have been unthinkable in previous times.” He claims that our desire to fight back only serves to create more terrorists, so what's his solution. Are we supposed to somehow reason with these murdering psychopaths? How do you do that?
If we look back over the years to Carter's inept handling of all matters related to foreign policy, but in particular Iran, it becomes very apparent, very quickly, that the radical form of Islam that we are finding ourselves confronted with today, was essentially given what can only be described as a massive dose of adrenalin by the Carter administration. Carter gave them the keys to their own country from which their deadly malignancy would spread. Carter was a willing participant in the 1979 Islamic Revolution, because it could not have taken place without him. Then we fast forward a little over 20 years and we have aircraft crashing into our skyscrapers leaving 3000 of our fellow citizens dead. And this guy, Carter, feels like he should be able to criticize us or to second guess our methods of response? No, I don't think so. Look, I am far from a big supporter of these drone strikes, I'd much rather we capture these guys and see what information we can get. But at least with them dead, they won't be hurting anyone.

THE END OF THE WASSERMAN SCHULTZ CHAPTER AT THE DNC?
Well, among those who get paid to keep their ear to the ground and listen for such things, it's being reported, kind of, that the venerable Ms. Debbie Wizzerman Schultz's tenure as head of the DNC may be coming to a rather unceremonious end. Rumor has it that there has been considerable momentum building in that directions and there are now reports that Ms. Wizzerman Schultz will not be returning to her position, there atop the Democratic National Committee, after the Fall election season. And apparently, it matters very little whether Barry "Almighty" wins or loses.
Ms. Wizzerman Schultz has had, I think, what can safely be described as a bit of a tumultuous history during her 14 month reign of leading the Democratic National Committee. Almost from the moment that Barry selected her to replace Tom Kaine back in April of 2011, her mouth has seemed to get the better of her on any number of separate occasions. I'm sure we all remember her actually blaming Bush for the rise to power of Hamas, the too many to count rather testy media appearances and finally even Barry's advisors telling old Deb to tone it down.
The rumors of Debbie’s impending departure are also being reported by the National Journal. Also taking part in the rumor mill is the blog, Shark Tank, which has quoted a supposed close associate of Debbie's, albeit anonymously, as claiming that the deal is already done. The Shark Tank story continues: This same source believes that Wasserman Schultz will be forced to resign behind closed doors and then stage an press event in which she tells Americans that her job as the DNC chair was a temporary one and that she is moving on with her congressional career.
So is Debbie Wasserman Schultz being moved out of the spotlight ahead of the November elections? While there is no confirmation from within the DNC itself, or from the White House, another former DNC Chair does seem to be busying himself by throwing a little gasoline on the fire. It was as recently as earlier this month, that we heard "Fast Eddy" Rendell, that devoted supporter of Hitlery Clinton, come at Wizzerman Shulltz a little sideways, telling some radio host that former RNC Chairman Michael Steele was “effective” during his tenure at that post.
However, Rendell added that some of the strong comments made by Rep. Wasserman Schultz questioning Mitt Romney’s qualifications to be President were not helpful. “I think in the end, you’ve got to be credible. There’s nobody out there who thinks that Governor Romney is unqualified.” That said, could it be that the confrontational congresswoman from Florida is merely shifting her focus in preparation for a push to unseat the 71-year-old Nancy Pelosi as the voice that leads House Democrats? Could be. It would seen as being the prefect transition.
It should be noted that Ms. Wizzerman Schultz must be re-elected to serve Florida’s 20th Congressional District before she can ever hope to challenge Pelosi or anyone else hoping to lead the House Democrats. According to the online poll Elections Meter, Wizzerman Schultz has a declining popularity rate that may not bode well for her in the coming November election. Now wouldn't that be a shame. But Floridians are rather notorious for electing, and re-electing some pretty obvious morons to Congress, Alcee Hastings, Corrine Brown, and Frederica Wilson to name just a few.
So while Ms. Wizzerman Schultz has consistently demonstrated a limited amount of brain power, it really should not come as being a significant surprise when taking those others, listed above, into consideration. The collective IQ of those listed would, most likely, be equal to the shoe size of any one of them. Those in Florida would be helping us all out, immensely, in taking a giant step forward if they were to, one by one, replace each and every one of these morons with someone much more interested in getting our country headed back in the right direction. So we'll see!

While there is no confirmation from within the DNC itself, or from the White House, another former DNC Chair does seem to be busying himself by throwing a little gasoline on the fire. It was as recently as earlier this month, that we heard "Fast Eddy" Rendell, that devoted supporter of Hitlery Clinton, come at Wizzerman Shulltz a little sideways, telling some radio host that former RNC Chairman Michael Steele was “effective” during his tenure at that post.
However, Rendell added that some of the strong comments made by Rep. Wasserman Schultz questioning Mitt Romney’s qualifications to be President were not helpful. “I think in the end, you’ve got to be credible. There’s nobody out there who thinks that Governor Romney is unqualified.” That said, could it be that the confrontational congresswoman from Florida is merely shifting her focus in preparation for a push to unseat the 71-year-old Nancy Pelosi as the voice that leads House Democrats? Could be. It would seen as being the prefect transition.
It should be noted that Ms. Wizzerman Schultz must be re-elected to serve Florida’s 20th Congressional District before she can ever hope to challenge Pelosi or anyone else hoping to lead the House Democrats. According to the online poll Elections Meter, Wizzerman Schultz has a declining popularity rate that may not bode well for her in the coming November election. Now wouldn't that be a shame. But Floridians are rather notorious for electing, and re-electing some pretty obvious morons to Congress, Alcee Hastings, Corrine Brown, and Frederica Wilson to name just a few.
So while Ms. Wizzerman Schultz has consistently demonstrated a limited amount of brain power, it really should not come as being a significant surprise when taking those others, listed above, into consideration. The collective IQ of those listed would, most likely, be equal to the shoe size of any one of them. Those in Florida would be helping us all out, immensely, in taking a giant step forward if they were to, one by one, replace each and every one of these morons with someone much more interested in getting our country headed back in the right direction. So we'll see!

ANOTHER ACTOR VOTING FOR OBAMA ONLY BECAUSE BOTH ARE BLACK...
Racism is racism. And when it comes to those in the black community and voting for Barry, the reason for they're doing so, is based on nothing other than the fact that Barry is black. But while they don't view that behavior as being something that can be considered as racist, any of those who dare to criticize Barry are always accused of doing so because because he's black. These morons insist upon having it both ways.

LATEST ROMNEY WEB AD...
Romney: President Obama broke his promise to the Hispanic community. His failed economic policies have been detrimental to the Hispanic community. Under President Obama, Hispanics have experienced increased levels of unemployment and childhood poverty. We can't afford four more years.
MSNBC HOST SEES NO EVIDENCE OF A SCANDAL...
Apparently the most recent hire over there at the "loon factory" commonly referred to as MSNBC is doing his best to make sure that he will be fitting in quite nicely with the rest of the leftist kooks currently employed over at that network. This guy, Steve Kornacki, will soon be co-hosting a new show on the network with The Blaze and GBTV’s, S.E. Cupp. Anyway, this clown made a recent appearance on Chris Matthews’ High-ball, and in what was typical MSNBC fashion, essentially proceeded to bash conservatives and regurgitate the some old, and by now very tired, accusations against House Republicans. And in demonstrating his desire to fit in, proceeded to rant that they are just a bunch of racists for daring to question Attorney General Eric Holder’s level of involvement in operation “Fast and Furious.” Right, how dare they question" Eric "I'm a racist" Holder. Yup, for sure this guy is going to fit in rather nicely with the rest of the loons they have there at MSNBC.
Obviously, his repeating the same garbage that we've all heard before shouldn't really come as any surprise or even seen as being out of the ordinary, for that matter, it's becomes that which is considered as typical fare for any MSNBC broadcast. However, some viewers may have been more than a little surprised to hear Kornacki tell fill-in host Michael Smerconish that he didn’t consider Fast and Furious, the failed federal gunrunning operation that has killed hundreds of Mexican citizens and U.S. Border Agent Brian Terry, to actually be a “scandal.” He started by saying that if it is a scandal, then it belongs to the “right,” blaming , who else but former President George W. Bush. “I think the origins of this one are really important to kind of keep in mind here. And that is, this is a scandal that really began on the right, to the extent it’s a scandal at all, which I don’t really think it is,” he said of Fast and Furious.
And just to rule out even the slightest chance that he may have misspoke or been misunderstood, this douche bag, Kornacki, only a few moments later, said that Democrats like "mind-numbingly stupid" Nancy Pelosi, don’t mind debating the Republicans over Fast and Furious because “they can just look at the Republicans and say ‘there is no scandal here,‘ let’s talk about jobs.” On a little side note here, why is it that the only time these sleazy Democrats want to talk about jobs is when they're trying to divert attention away from something they'd rather we didn't know about? Anyway, regardless of whether or not this moron believes Holder or other senior administration officials were involved in the execution Fast and Furious, it remains difficult to fathom that a guys who professes to be a political writer would not consider a gun-walking program that resulted in hundreds of deaths, including a U.S. border agent, to be a “scandal.” But it does once again, and very clearly so, demonstrate just how far into the tank these media morons are for Barry.
In addition to downgrading Fast and Furious from scandal status to, I'm assuming, some minor incident, Kornacki made some bizarre connections between Fast and Furious, Barry and racism. And because conservatives‘ resentment towards Holder couldn’t possibly be due to the fact that he has given false testimony, has refused to provide subpoenaed documents and been generally uncooperative in the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee’s investigation into Fast and Furious, Kornacki went on to say that the attorney general has become a “lightening rod” for the ire of Republicans. Why? Well, because conservatives have manufactured a “caricature” of Barry as some “secret black radical” who is trying to take money away from “white people.” And because Barry, the “secret black radical,” appointed Holder, who Kornacki points out is also black, somehow that proves racism is fueling Republican criticism. Is this guy some sort of demented nut, or what?
And in spewing what was essentially only gibberish, this clown went on to say, “Yeah. And, you know, look, I mean, you know, it can be uncomfortable to talk about this stuff, but I think you have to consider the possibility that there might be, sort of, you know, there might be an aspect of race and of culture to that. Because you have the Justice Department – Well, first of all, you have sort of, you know, the caricature of Obama that sort of gets sold on the right a lot is that he’s this, sort of, secret black radical and he’s looking to, sort of, um, you know, he’s looking to sort of, maybe, take away rights or take away, you know, take away this, sort of, you know, money from, you know, from white people and redistribute it and that sort of thing,” said Kornacki. “So, you take, you know, prominent, you know, black lawyer and you put him in charge of the Obama Justice Department and I think that’s, you know, to people who sort of traffic in that sort of thing, you know, it really is kind of a lightening rod.” This guy actually writes for a living? You're kidding!
BLACK 'REPORTER' ACCUSES ROMNEY OF ONLY BEING RELAXED AROUND "WHITE FOLKS"...
"Romney is very, very comfortable, it seems with people who are like him," Politico's Joe Williams said on MSNBC's Martin Bashir program today. "That's one of the reasons why he seems so stiff and awkward in some town hall settings, why he can't relate to people other than that. But when he comes on "Fox & Friends," they're like him, they're white folks who are very much relaxed in their own company. So it really is a very stark contrast, I think and a problem that he's not been able to solve to date and he's going to have network harder if he's going to try to compete."
Now let's just say, for the sake of argument. that this racist moron is correct in his description of Gov. Romney. In today's environment, and with it essentially having been created courtesy of our black president as well as such notable clowns as Sharpton, Jackson, Wright and Farrahkan, I know, speaking just for myself, that I'm much more at ease around whites than blacks. Because apparently, you are no longer permitted to defend yourself against some black thug without fear of then finding yourself in the position of going off to prison.
Look, I think we are all savvy enough to see what's being attempted here. We have a black president, who after having been in office for nearly 4 years has absolutely nothing to show for it other than an attempt to socialize our healthcare system, has the government now owning a couple companies and has us up to our armpits in debt. Essentially all that he has managed to do is to provide yet one more bit of proof that socialism simply does not work, no matter where it is tried. His socialist policies have succeeded only in taking a bad situation and making it very much worse.
So now, we're at the point where all that he and his many surrogates have left is to attempt to blame everything on the fact that Barry's opposition is comprised of a bunch of racists who refuse to work with him, not because of his efforts to "fundamentally transform" our country, but for no other reason that because he is black. They seem to be working overtime in their efforts to create the perception that the only reason that we are in our current predicament is because Republicans are a bunch of racists who are determined to keep the black man from succeeding. That's pretty sad.

BILL MAHER…WHAT KIND OF PERSON THINKS THIS WAY?
Gee, if it wasn't for conservatives in this country, or the Republican Party what would perennial jerk off, Bill Maher have to talk about? Certainly not our current president, who has very quickly become the most corrupt individual to hold his office since Richard Nixon. As we all know, ripping Republicans has pretty much become old hat for Bill, but he certainly didn’t hold back when he called the GOP “the Party of the Apes” on his blog this week. In a Monday post titled “The Right Shift,” Maher presented the typical line of drivel so often heard from those of his rather perverted political persuasion. You see, once again he attempts to argue, that those who should be made to bare the brunt of the blame for Washington gridlock are the Republicans. And it is they, the Repblicans, who should be made to face the consequences and to be on the receiving end of any voter wrath directed at Congress come the next election.
In writing, “The idea that the blame for our government’s dysfunction is equally shared by the parties just is a giant, steaming mound of horsesh-t and anyone who has paid attention to politics over the last 20 years knows it,” Maher once again has proven himself to be either a lair on the scale of a Clinton or, as someone completely oblivious to how our system of government is supposed to work. Now even if he's only half as smart as he seems to think himself, I feel confident in at least being able to assume that he is somewhat familiar with how our system is designed to work. So therefore the only option left is that he's simply your average everyday liar. He blamed for any and all gridlock on the GOP, “Or as I like to call it, ‘The Rise of the Party of the Apes.’” And he chose quoted from a Washington Post op-ed that made waves back in April titled, “Let’s just say it: Republicans are the problem.” And coming from the Washington Post such an opinion should not come as a surpirse.
Quoting from that same Washington Post op-ed, Maher the authors write: “We have been studying Washington politics and Congress for more than 40 years, and never have we seen them this dysfunctional. In our past writings, we have criticized both parties when we believed it was warranted. Today, however, we have no choice but to acknowledge that the core of the problem lies with the Republican Party.” He says they’re not saying Democrats are blameless and perfect. Maher then describes how it reminds him of something his friend Barney Frank, recently said, “…people have said to me, well, why can't you work things out with the Republicans, and my answer to my friends has been: Exactly on what issues do you think Michele Bachmann and I can compromise?” He then describes what Barney is saying thiis way, how do you expect me to work on the 2+2=4 bill when their side believes math is a liberal plot to turn your kid queer?
He uses Dick Lugar, who he identifies as being a staunch conservative, just not the modern-day insane variety and bemoans as an example and the fact that Luger was throttled in the Republican Senate primary in Indiana by a Tea Party guy named Richard Mourdock. And after Mourdock won he said this about working with the other side: “I certainly think bipartisanship ought to consist of Democrats coming to the Republican point of view.” To which, Maher responds in his typical crude manner, is sort of like saying to your girlfriend, “I think both our sexual needs will best be fulfilled by you blowing me.” About Allen West, here Maher gets particularly disgusting, saying he should be taken off to a padded cell and given 20 CCs of the high test. He points out that Ornstein and Mann start off their Post op-ed by noting that recently Rep. Allen West said that there are “78 to 81” Democrats in Congress who are members of the Communist Party, saying that such extreme remarks and views are now taken for granted.
Is there anyone, anywhere else on the entire planet, besides Barry of course, who is more enthralled with the sound of their own voice, than is this jerk Maher? And wouldn't you think that eventually this clown would get tired of sounding like a proverbial broken record. I mean just who is it that he's hoping to have some impact on here? Anybody who might watch his idiotic little show, or listen to any of his never-ending, and quite psychotic, rants are already very firmly in the Barry camp. Is it all an attempt by this clone to see how much he can shock people or does he genuinely believe that he can somehow have some influence on the next election? And as far as his little tantrum directed at Rep. West, it makes me think that his reaction, like that of "BJ" Clinton, to what West said might indicate that West's comments must have hit a little too close to home. How else do you explain the level of venom in Maher's idiotic rant directed at West?

THE ALTERED MENTAL STATE OF ONE NANCY PELOSI...
As someone who has had, or at least what you would think to be, enough botox to make her face split, and with it now so obviously having some effect on her current mental state, Nancy Pelosi, DEMOCRAT, has repeatedly lashed out at House Republicans for what she says is they're choosing to pursue contempt charges against Attorney General Eric "I'm a Racist" Holder. She made the idiotic claim before the committee vote Wednesday that the GOP is playing politics, not pursuing the truth. And trust me, if there is anyone on the planet who is the least bit familiar with pursuing things out of pure politics, it's old "Stretch" Pelosi". But in this case, I choose to respectfully disagree with her idiotic assessment. Holder, and potentially Barry "Almighty" himself, may have actually broken the law.
In attempting justify her ridiculous accusations, she cited the fact that, by golly, she could have “arrested” Karl Rove at anytime. But the reason that she didn't, at least as she describes it, is more because the opportunity never presented itself. And she says she’s “not kidding.” Because she went on to say, "I could have arrested Karl Rove on any given day” Pelosi said on Wednesday, or so the that bastion of rational thought, the Huffington Post reports. “I’m not kidding. There’s a prison here in the Capitol… If we had spotted him in the Capitol, we could have arrested him.” Karl Rove, as we all know, served as deputy chief of staff to former President George W. Bush from 2001-2007. He was a favorite target of leftwing loons like Pelosi for his entire tenure at the White House, and essentially still is.
Nancy was asked by HuffPo on what charges could Rove have been arrested and she replied, and in what is very typical fashion for this dingbat, since she's always at the ready to pull something out of her ass, “Oh, any number. But there were some specific ones for his being in contempt of Congress. But we didn’t.” Old "Stretch" also tried to downplay the current committee’s contempt vote by saying it was “strictly political.” And in an effort to distract, she said “It’s just the irresponsibility of the Republicans. We want jobs. Why are they spending this time doing this?” Now I suppose we could ask her the same question, especially in regards to her and her fellow Democrats' willingness to expend so much time and energy on Obamacare instead of taking up the issue of jobs or the economy. Whoops, that's different.
And as was to be expected, Nancy the proceeded to go on a rant, slamming Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), chairman of the House oversight committee, who has been at the forefront of the investigation into operation Fast and Furious. “Loose cannon would sort of be like such a compliment to Darrell Issa. ‘Loose cannon’ would be a moderate phrase. This is an explosive device,” she said. “It doesn’t serve our country, and it undermines the true purpose of contempt of Congress,” Pelosi said. “This is why I didn’t arrest Karl Rove when I had the chance.” Does this screwy bitch ever have a moment where she is the least bit lucid? And I assume that old Nancy is none too happy to know that the House Government Oversight and Reform Committee vote 23-17 in favor of pursing contempt charges against Holder.
Question: Did you ever notice that whenever Democrats are being challenged on their ethics, regarding any of the many shenanigans they're constantly involved in, it's always called a witch hunt, partisan politics or any number of other things. They are always to be seen as being as pure as the wind driven snow, and totally above reproach. But sadly, they're the biggest bunch of crooks to ever come down the pike and will use all manner of intimidation and the smearing of those who are only in search of the truth in their effort to get away with their chicanery. And while they are to be seen as being the 'good' guys, according to slugs like Nancy, it's those shifty, racist, homophobic, anti-women and thoroughly corrupt Republicans that need to be closely watched. They're simply not to be trusted.
SO, TO DISAGREE WITH OBAMA IS TO BE CONSIDERED AS BEING RACIST?
Again, these continuing accusations of racism is all that the pathetic clowns have.
IS THIS MAN FROM OUTER SPACE?
Back in August of 2011, Paul Krugman, a guy described as being Nobel Prize-winning economist, and who is a favorite of the left, somehow saw wisdom in attaching himself to a cockamamie theory that has has since earned him endless mockery from the right. And rightly so!" What he then said was, “If we discovered that, you know, space aliens were planning to attack and we needed a massive buildup to counter the space alien threat and really inflation and budget deficits took secondary place to that, this slump would be over in 18 months,” he declared, arguing in favor of the president’s stimulus package. “And then if we discovered, oops, we made a mistake, there aren’t any aliens, we’d be better [off]."
Now, just a little less than 12 months after making that rather bizarre declaration, with the stimulus package long ago having been passed and economic recovery is nowhere in sight, what is Nobel laureate, Princeton professor, and New York Times columnist Paul Krugman’s solution?
Yup, you guessed it! Prepare for an alien invasion. Krugman stands by his “alien” strategy, arguing with Paul Solman: “The great military buildup that began in 1940 as the United States scrambled to get ready for the possibility of getting involved in this war was what brought us to full employment…” but as Solman interrupted: “But we’re not likely to have a credible alien threat any time soon,“ Krugman joked that he probably should have ”broached the thing quietly to some people at NASA“ before ”[giving] the game away."
Solman asked: “are you suggesting then that there needs to be some collective fiction?” Krugman responded that there was no need for anything “exotic,“ and we just need to ”restore services at the state and local levels,” without specifying which services have been cut. After a brief discussion of interest rates and spending, Solman asked: “But isn’t too much debt a bad thing?” “Yes, of course it is,” Krugman responded. “But by allowing this extremely high unemployment to persist, we are damaging the future.” And his solution to high debt and unemployment, apparently, is to spend like aliens are invading.
