‘THE MOOCH’ AGAIN GIVES PRESIDENT TRUMP USELESS ADVICE…


So why is it, do you suppose, that some of the loudest voices, supposedly coming from the right and against President Trump, tend to be the voices of those who have some sort of grievance against the man? Case in point would be Anthony Scaramucci, aka ‘The Mooch, a man deemed to be so incompetent that he served as White House Communications Director for a whole 10 days. How does one get fired after just 10 days? This irrelevant little loser again demonstrates just how truly desperate he is for attention. It really is pathetic. And all this after he couldn’t even last two weeks working in the Trump White House because of his own stupid mouth. Pretty sad.

Anyway, it was just this past Thursday on MSDNC’s ‘Deadline,’ that President Trump’s ex-communications director actually tried to make the argument that if President Trump keeps calling the presumed Democrat candidate for president, Kamala Harris, dumb, he will only serve to increase her voter base. Look, the only people who would vote for Harris just because President Trump calls her dumb are themselves pretty dumb. Unfortunately, that’s the largest Democrat constituency. After all, one out of every three Democrats is as stupid as the other two. And I’ll tell ya, if ‘Mooch’ is telling you to do one thing, you can bet that the opposite is what you need to do.

Scaramucci said, “The sexism and the attacks that worked in 2016 that frankly Baby Boomer voters are used to is not something that the Generation X or Z have a taste for. President Trump can’t land a punch yet. He’s trying to find something that’s going to land on Vice President Harris, but I’ll tell you what, you want to call her dumb as a rock or DEI candidate, if he keeps doing that, hundreds of thousands of people will be waiting online 10, 12 hours, no water, won’t matter, they’ll do everything they can to vote for Vice President Harris.” And on President Trump’s choice of running mate, Scaramucci said, “I’m watching this implode gloriously."

‘Mooch,’ known for his own little vendetta again President Trump, went on to say, “I’ve got to tell you something, They chemistry between these two people it’s absolutely horrific. Go back to the tape, Nicolle. Take five minutes of your day and look at acceptance speech and look at Trump. It looked like he was eating a garbage sandwich in his mouth. I’m using a euphemism because we’re on the air.” He added, “Trump cannot stand this guy. I’m telling you right now, he’s lighting up his staff. He’s saying, ‘I almost got killed by an assassin’s bullet. You pushed this guy on me. He’s dull and boring. Remember Trump is an actor and a casting director."

And he said, “Vance is not helping him and here is the dirty secret we all know, Vance thinks he’s smarter than Trump. Trump hates that. Vance thinks this is his 2028 presidential tour. Donald Trump fires people who get more attention than him. Trust me, I know that. He fires people that get more attention.” Mooch has become pretty much of a regular on MSDNC, as well as on any number of commie podcasts, willingly spewing his garbage to anyone willing to pay. In short, Mooch is the epitome of a grifter. And you can take to the bank the fact that when someone like ‘The Mooch’ says, “trust me on this,” you can rest assured that they’re lying through their teeth.

Clearly, as we head into this next election, we’re up against those who are desperately trying to hold onto their power. They will do anything, and cheating at the polls is the least of it, I'm afraid. Why make it easy for them? We love President Trump’s mean tweets and the way he points out their weaknesses, but WE are already voting for him. It’s time for him to appeal to the voters on the fence by touting his policies, pointing out the left’s policies, and how their policies doom our American way of life. Anyone who would vote for Harris simply because someone points out just how ignorant she is, would merely be confirming their own ignorance.

So, if I have this right, ‘The Mooch’ thinks people, or at least women, will vote for Harris purely out of sympathy, because President Trump refers to her as being dumb? So by that logic I guess we can also assume that if President Trump starts referring to Harris as brilliant he will then win over those same voters? Or, referring to President Trump as a rapist, criminal, and Nazi would prompt people to switch their vote from Harris to President Trump, right? But look, I think most intelligent women, of which there are few on the left, will be able to recognize the President Trump is not saying Harris is dumb because she’s a woman, only that she’s dumb because she’s dumb!

That said, I don’t suppose there is any real need to keep referring to her as being dumb, that should be painfully obvious to even the most casual of observers. I mean, just listen to her and look at her less than impressive record of ‘accomplishment.’ People in her own party have said the very same thing. There’s a reason why she didn’t survive the last election’s Democrat primary. And it wasn’t her keen intellect that prompted Joey to select her as his running mate. She now finds herself in her present position pretty much by default. Democrats stole an election from President Trump and then tried to imprison him, to bankrupt him and then tried to KILL him.

But he should also focus his attacks on the basis of her lack of achievements and her socialist policies not just personal attacks alone. After all, Democrats have proven time and time again that they will go out of their way to vote for some of the stupidest people running. And I would argue that those people who are even considering voting for Harris are already lost anyway. Anyone who is thinking of, or has ever voted. Democrat is nothing less than a complete moron. Look at the candidates and tell me how anyone in their right mind could vote for the likes of Gore, Obama, Hitlery, Joey and many more too many to even try to list here.

Anyone with 20/20 eyesight should be able to see the fakeness of Harris that is on display every single day. And all of the ridiculous ‘fake news’ media attention provided to her is nothing more than a continuing an attempt to whip up enthusiasm that simply doesn’t exist. Harris is full of nothing more than stupid slogans and predictable replies to everything. She laughs like a moron because it’s a defensive measure. Democrats are all in on the endless lying and it’s all nothing more than a psychological push to normalize this weird, unlikable and clearly DEI candidate. And as far as I’m concerned there’s really nothing wrong with pointing any of that out.

What makes her truly dangerous is that she follows the aggressive, radical, ideologically-driven agenda supported by hardcore leftist Democrats. The very same agenda that allows for NO common sense, NO logical thinking, NO freedom, NO liberty, NO Constitution, NO Rule of Law, NO sovereignty, NO fossil fuel independence and NO individualism. In other words, Harris is nothing more than a puppet just like Joey. The Democrats, along with more than a few RINOs, want to paint this imbecile as being nothing short of the President of the Mensa Society, and stentorian orator. She may look the part, but everything falls apart as soon as he speaks.

And has anyone ever noticed how all of these so-called Republicans who appear on MSDNC and CNN never seem to actually vote Republican? And when did this weaselly little piece of shit become an expert on anything? It just goes to show you that these people are all frauds. ‘The Mooch’ is just another reject who is on MSDNC only because President Trump got rid of his worthless ass. Who is he to be preaching to anyone? It’s fine to point out the stupidity of Harris’ reckless ideas. Pointing out the obvious is only fair. It’s no secret how she moved up the ladder. We’ve never heard Harris make any ‘me-too’ accusations; but we all know the activity was happening.

There’s a lot wrong with this candidate. Talk about dumb, it’s numerous Democrats, the ‘fake news’ media and even Harris herself who are actually trying to deny the fact that she was ever put in charge of the border. The open border, and its aftereffects, are so devastating that no one wants to be responsible for it. And the real disaster resulting from the Biden/Harris open border has yet to happen. Clearly President Trump is right over the target and is shaping the political battlefield and Harris will not disappoint because, well because she’s dumb. At the end of the day her mouth, once used to advance her career, will undo her aspirations whenever she speaks.

In his first term Donald Trump was new to Washington in the role of a politician and was therefore in the position of having to surround himself with those familiar with the workings inside the beltway. And it’s sad how many of those people turned out to be liars. And I maintain that those who turned on him did do because many of the things he had promised to do went against with how the place works. And once he discovered their treachery they were fired. Vengeance is a powerful thing and many of the voices we hear warning us against him are coming from those who he fired. As well as from those who thought themselves deserving of a job they didn’t get.

So let me see if I have this right. People who would not otherwise vote for Harris will vote for her because her opponent claims she’s dumb. You have to wonder if people don’t get tired of hearing the same guests spew the same drivel over and over. I simply can’t watch these clowns anymore. ‘The Mooch’ doesn’t seem to be much of an expert on anything but he still gets brought on like he’s an expert on everything. The same goes for every RINO brought on to any of these idiotic programs for the express purpose of hammering President Trump and his millions of supporters. And the ‘journalists’ involved are only too happy to provide all these folks with a platform.

PERCHANCE A LOOMING DILEMMA FOR THE BLACK COMMUNITY??


I'm not sure what was meant to be accomplished by the release of a recent poll that shows for the second straight week, that Barry "Almighty’s" job approval has dropped to a new low among blacks, but none the less it's out there. This poll by the way, comes to us via Gallup. According to this poll, in the week that ended on October 16, Barry's approval was sitting at 79 percent among blacks. That was down from the previous low of 80 percent in the week that ended on October 9. In the week that ended on October 2, Barry’s approval among blacks had been 85 percent. Barry’s highest approval among blacks was 96 percent, a level he achieved in five different weeks back in 2009. But what is even more revealing is the fact that 79 percent of blacks still support Barry, because that remains a very significant number. Despite the fact that Barry has succeeded in only making things worse, blacks continue to stick with him.



But really, when looked at in the big scheme of things, whatever the percent of support is at this time, really matters very little. It wouldn't matter even if Barry was sitting there with a 10 percent approval among blacks. Here's why. Those who make up the black community are the only group in this entire country who, as they are bussed off to the polls, base who it is that they vote for solely on the matter of race. They're the only ones who can get away with such a thing. If I was to say my reason for voting for a specific candidate for no other reason that because he, or she, is white, I'd be called a racist. But not so if you're black and voting for a black candidate for no other reason that because he, or she, is black. That's seen as being perfectly acceptable, even expected. So blacks are permitted to be racist in the voting preferences and that's just fine, but that voting methodology extends to no one else.


But this coming election has the potential to put the black community in a bit of a quandary. I've heard it said, but have seen much evidence to the contrary, that blacks are generally conservative folks by nature, being regular church goers and all. But yet, they are one of the most, if not "the" most, reliable voting block for liberal Democrats. Having said that, there is a chance, however remote, that the conservative black man currently running for president could be the Republican nominee. That event could lay the ground work for what would prove to be an excellent litmus test for proving the theory that blacks tend to be conservative in nature. If the blacks were presented with a choice between a black candidate who is truly conservative running against a black candidate who is nothing if not a rabid socialist, for whom would they decide to vote?


Now we all know with a great deal of certainty who it is that the Al Sharptons, the Jesse Jacksons and the Jeremiah Wrights of the black community would very enthusiastically vote for. But what of those in the black community who are now forced to live out their meager lives surviving on the scraps provided to them by the Democrat Party. Suppose just for a second, such a thing were actually to take place, that a black conservative would be presented with the opportunity to be elected president. Might there be someone in the black community who would then be willing to take that first step in the convincing of as many others as possible that to vote for such a candidate is an opportunity too important to simply let go by? Would there even be enough of those who would be willing to listen? Now that would be a decision that could prove to be quite enlightening.

LET'S NOT GET AHEAD OF OURSELVES REGARDING 2012...


The headline reads, "Pollsters: Modern History Shows Obama Can't Win in 2012." A headline like this can cause one of two perceptions to come to mind. It can be viewed as a reality in the sense that, yes in fact, the chances of Barry being successful in his attempt to gain re-election have now been significantly diminished, or it can be seen as being nothing more than some sort of ploy designed to lull those of us wishing to rid ourselves of him, into some sense of false sense of optimism, believing that Barry can now be very easily beaten. These days there are very few polls, or pollsters, that I feel are all that trustworthy. I feel you can pretty much make a poll say anything that you want it to say and also because, nearly everyone taking polls these days has a some sort of motive or an agenda that they are working very hard to advance. And what better way to convince people that what you're proposing is a great idea, than to create the impression that it is supported by a majority of Americans. And many of today's polling outfits are very capable, as well as very highly skilled, at manipulating the data that they present to us. Data that is portrayed being the most accurate and that is meant to sway public opinion when in fact quite often it is just the opposite. The best method of our being able to determine which candidate deserves your support is to ignore the vast majority of these polls and simply do the research yourself. With the internet at your disposal you have countless sources that can be accessed to verify fact from fiction regarding the record of any candidate. We simply cannot afford to rely on others to tell us what they claim is the truth, or to be objective when telling us about any of the candidates.



Now it comes to us via any number of supposed wily political strategists, whose motives for doing to I simply cannot determine with any degree of certainty, that with the economy being so dismal, Barry "Almighty" will have to essentially re-write the political history books if he hopes to win re-election. We're told that the latest bad news for Team Barry is the fact that economic growth for the second quarter was revised downward from 1.3 to a mere 1 percent on Friday, far below the level of activity required to put even the slightest of dents in the nation’s chronic, high joblessness. Those slumping GDP numbers followed an economic-outlook report by the Congressional Budget Office that we're told supposedly touched off alarm bells in Barry’s campaign. Despite optimistic assumptions about GDP growth, inflation, and deficit-spending, the CBO projected U.S. unemployment to be at or above 8.5 percent through the fourth quarter of 2012. Again we're told that that means Barry will have to earn a return engagement to the White House under virtually unprecedented circumstances. And he’ll likely have to alter his campaign strategy in order to do it. “It becomes a game changer,” claims Matt Towery, CEO of the nonpartisan InsiderAdvantage polling company, “in the sense that he and the White House had every expectation two and a half years ago that unemployment would be well under 8 percent, that the stimulus package would work, and that [high unemployment] would not be an issue for him.” I still find it "extremely" hard to believe that Barry actually thought that his "stimulus" plan would actually result in "stimulating" anything in the way of actual economic growth.


The latest indication that Barry "Almighty" may be forced to jettison the post-partisan, hope-and-change mantra that propelled him into the White House in 2008 is a Pew Research Center poll showing only 49 percent of U.S. voters now consider him to be a strong leader. That’s down sharply from 58 percent in May and personally still sounds a little high. Also, Pew reports only 44 percent describe him as a person who can get things done, down from 55 percent. “I think Barack Obama is in deep trouble,” says Democratic pollster and Fox News contributor Doug Schoen. Much has been made of the fact that Ronald Reagan won re-election in 1984 with an unemployment rate of 7.2 percent. But that precedent now offers little encouragement for Barry "Almighty," and for two reasons. The obvious consideration is that the economy is expected to be in significantly worse shape in November 2012 than when Reagan won re-election. But equally significant is that unemployment dropped while Reagan was in office and was heading down on Election Day. When Barry "Almighty" took office, unemployment was 7.8 percent. The CBO report predicts it will still be well above that level when voters pass judgment on Barry. But let's not start planning our victory celebrations just yet. If there is one certainty in American politics it is the fact that Democrats are not above cheating in their attempt to hold onto power. And they have a very willing army of supporters in today's state-controlled media conglomerate standing at the ready to assist whenever needed. A media that has essentially been reduced to being nothing more than the propaganda arm of the DNC.


To better understand why the CBO projections are supposed to be some potential game-changer, consider this: The last time voters sent a president back to the White House when unemployment was north of 8 percent was 1940. That year, liberal icon, FDR was re-elected despite a Depression-era unemployment rate of 14.6 percent. But that example doesn’t provide much comfort to Democrats either. After all FDR, like Reagan, earned the voters’ patience by substantially lowering the unemployment rate from what it was when he took office. So is Barry "Almighty" toast before his campaign even begins? Unfortunately, no. “His campaign will have to shift the issue,” say Towery in an interview with Newsmax. “They’re going to have to find a way to make unemployment and the economy not the major issue. Now that’s almost going to be impossible -- but it is really their only way.” Towery envisions the following options for Team Barry: 1) He can move hard to the left and really push the class-warfare issue. By talking about taxes on millionaires and corporate-jet loopholes, Barry will energize and solidify his loony-left base. But it also risks unnerving the independents that Barry desperately needs to bring back into the fold to win re-election, 2) He can encourage the GOP to make an “unforced error.” Towery predicts Barry will prod Republicans in the hope that it leads them to make some sort of self-inflicted wound. He says refusing to extend the payroll-tax cut in an election year is one obvious example. Too much talk of slashing Medicare and Social Security is another, or 3) Barry can sufficiently rough up the GOP nominee and Republicans in Congress by painting them as extremists who would be too risky to trust with the presidency. “President Obama is weak,” Schoen says, “and I think what he is counting on is that Republicans will be weaker and less well regarded than he is.” Again, the risk is that Barry's choosing to smear his GOP rival is a dangerous alternative which could result in turning off independents. One of these strategies, or more likely a combination of all three, could help Barry achieve what no politician since FDR has accomplished: Getting re-elected after unemployment goes from bad to worse.


Mr. Towery, who served as a political strategist for former House Speaker Newt Gingrich in the 1980s and 90s, expects Barry to go sharply negative in an effort to redirect attention away from a badly slumping economy and toward whether the GOP alternative can be trusted to fix what ails it. I don’t think you need to be some slick political strategist to know that Barry will most definitely be going negative, in fact he already has. When looking at the sleazy cast of characters on his reelection team it's impossible to imagine them doing anything but to go "extremely" negative. “There’s only one thing in politics you do when you’re that low,” Towery says. “You try to bloody the other guy up just as much as you can." “I mean, it’s the only answer. I don’t care what anybody says: He can’t put enough commercials on about how hard he works or whatever. It isn’t even working in the African-American community. When Maxine Waters is out there giving you trouble, you know you’ve got problems.” With unemployment so high, Towery says, the bottom line for Barry and the Democrats is brutally simple, “They’ve got to just bloody up whoever gets the nomination, or the party as a whole,” he says. But even then, Towery says Barry may need help from Republicans in order to win re-election in 2012. “If you ask me what the Obama administration is looking for,” Towery says, “they’re looking for a fumble on behalf of Republicans, a totally unforced error." However, in order for the negative stuff to have the level of impact that the situation demands, Barry is going to have to rely pretty heavily on the stupidity of the American people as well as their willingness to continue to buy into all the negative crap.


My main concern here, or a fear really, is that as we get closer to the election there may be an increase in voter complacency or over confidence. That people will just automatically assume that there ain't no chance in Hell that this guy can get reelected so their vote really isn't needed and it's safe for them to just sit this one out. Or, that the level of general discontent with the current Republican field will sufficiently manifest itself and therefore effectively splinter support for whomever gets the Republican nomination with folks deciding instead to support a third party candidate. Look, we simply cannot afford to put our trust into any of these political soothsayers, they're simply doing a job for which they are quite handsomely paid. Their job is to manipulate public opinion to the best of their ability. In other words, it's their job to try to fool us into believing one thing while the actual fact of the matter is something entirely different. Our motto for the upcoming election should be, "Trust but verify." The truth is out there and it is going to take a certain amount of effort on the part of we the voters to get to it. There should be no doubt that Barry and his team are going to pull out all the stops in their effort to distract us away from all that is presently going on here. That's just standard operating procedures for these scumbags. And no matter how hard they try to paint the opposition as being "extreme," when looking back over the course of the last three years, can it be said that anyone could have possibly been any more "extreme" than Barry and the Democrats have been? They had what can safely be described as absolute power for 2 full years, and what did they choose to do with that power? If those actions taken by Congress and our "community agitator" of a president do not fit the definition of "extreme," then nothing does.

ECONOMY TANKING YET OBAMA MAINTAINS LEAD OVER OPPOSITION...



Americans' disapproval of how Barry "Almighty" is handling, or mishandling, the economy as well as our ballooning budget deficit has reached new highs amid broad frustration over the slow pace of our supposed economic recovery, at least according to a Washington Post-ABC New poll released on Tuesday. Now normally anything that comes from these two venerable members of the state controlled media, I take with a pretty good sized grain of salt. You can never really trust the results that they may come up with because they are constantly bending themselves into a pretzel to portray Barry in a positive light. But perhaps things have finally deteriorated to they point where even they can no longer ignore what's taking place. Even they have to now recognize what Barry is very purposely doing in his effort to destroy our economy. Also noted in the poll is the fact that the ratings boost Barry received after the killing of Osama bin Laden has pretty much dissipated, as many said it would, with his job approval rating having now fallen back to 47 percent. Forty-nine percent disapprove of his performance. Gee, I wonder what segment of our population makes up the largest portion of the 47 percent who approve of the job that he's doing? Want to make any wagers? Barry's approval rating bounced to 56 immediately after bin Laden was killed last month. Like this inept bumbler had anything to do with that little enterprise.



In this latest poll, fifty-nine percent, a new high by the way, gave Barry negative marks for his handling of the economy, up from 55 percent a month earlier. Barry's approval rating on the deficit issue hit a new low of 33 percent, down 6 points just since April. With his obvious unwillingness to anything whatsoever about our growing deficit, what exactly might that 33 percent might be thinking. It is surmised by many that the state of the economy poses a huge challenge for Barry, whose re-election in 2012 may depend on his ability to convince, most likely through all method of deception, voters that his economic policies have been successful. But how can any sane individual look at our current state of affairs and come to the conclusion that Barry's policies have been anything other than an abject failure. However, I think it can safely be said that failure is in the eye of the beholder. Because from Barry's socialist perspective, I'm sure he sees his policies as having been a colossal success. He better get the old spin machine cooking, because he's going to need to get really creative in how he portrays a floundering economy as being on the road to recovery. The survey reflects a broadly pessimistic public mood as high gasoline prices, sliding home values and high unemployment numbers raised concerns about the pace of the U.S. economic recovery, The Washington Post said.


Eighty-nine percent of Americans say the economy is in bad shape; 57 percent say any economic recovery has not yet started and 66 percent said the United States was seriously on the wrong track. So that must mean that at least a third of our fellow Americans think that the country is on the right track. Again, who is it that makes up that one third? Forty-five percent said they trust congressional Republicans over Barry to handle the economy, up 11 points since March. But the poll also shows that Barry is leading five out of six potential Republican presidential rivals but in a dead heat with former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney. So, if 89 percent of us think the economy is sad shape, 57 percent of us say any economic recovery has yet to even get started and 66 percent say the country is headed in the wrong direction, how is it then that, at least according to this poll, Barry is beating all Republican comers. And a dead heat, by the way, is by no means anything to get excited about. With numbers like this, Barry should be getting trounced. What this tells me is that the candidates on our side are not articulating what it is that they are proposing in order to keep this country from going over a fiscal cliff. We need someone who is unafraid to get out there and loudly proclaim the conservative principles that can keep that from happening. We no longer have the luxury of being able to pussyfoot around. We need someone with the courage to go for Barry's jugular. Metaphorically speaking, of course.


Among all Americans, Barry and Romney are tied at 47 percent each. Among registered voters, Romney is ahead 49 percent to 46 percent. Now we know the blacks are solidly behind Barry, as are the unions, as well as 90 percent of academia and the media. Which means that whoever our candidate is, they are going to have their work cut out for them if we are going to be successful in our attempt to rid ourselves of Barack Hussein Obama. And I'm worried that Romney, after hearing his questionable position on global warming, as well as his being able to deal with the issue of Romneycare, and his, first he was for it and now he's against it, abortion stance, just isn't the guy we should be hitching our electoral wagon to. At least not yet. Romney, the current Republican front-runner, last week launched his second presidential campaign, saying Barry's economic policies were to blame for America's many economic woes. That's pretty much a no brainer, Mr. Romney is going to have to convince the American people that his plan to revive our struggling economy and to restore America to its proper place in the world will be based on solid conservative principles and not by his simply saying what it is he thinks we want to hear. He needs to demonstrate that he is as committed to the rescuing this country as are the rest of us. He cannot afford to alter his position on the issues based on the crowd that he happens to be standing in front of at any given time.


The above mentioned poll of 1,002 adults was conducted June 2-5 and has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.

DENIAL, JUST A RIVER IN EGYPT?



Repudiation as defined in Webster’s dictionary - 1. to disown, 2. to disavow



Reports continue to come in describing Barry's rather stubborn refusal to accept, in any way, shape, manner or form, the premise that it was the blatant abuse of power by both a Democrat controlled Congress and by Barry himself over the course of the last two years that brought about the recent Democrat debacle that was the 2010 Mid-term elections. Instead, he insists that it was brought about by nothing more than a failure on his part to properly convince the American people that all that he and the Democrats have done "for" them, and continue to try to do "for" them, is all in their best interest. Unfortunately for him, this is where he is dead wrong, because the American people rightly recognize that all this continuing government expansion as something that benefits only Barry and the Democrats. And certainly not the American people! It is designed specifically to create a condition that has an ever increasing number of individuals becoming completely dependent upon the government for their existence. And therefore to create for Barry and the Democrats, a method by which they can increase their voter base while at the same time benefiting those who already make up Democrat Party core constituencies. You would think it would be rather obvious regarding how last week’s election came to produce the results that it did. But I guess that’s just not the case, because in Barry’s world, nothing can ever be seen as being his fault. One of the real laughers came during the daily White House press briefing on Thursday after the election, with Press Secretary Robert “The Moron” Gibbs working ever so diligently to advance the requisite talking points, suggesting that Americans do not want to repeal health care legislation. He made the point, or at least he tried to as best as Bob can, that there is really nothing to take away from this election that would indicate in any way that that is what the American people want. And he said he thinks Republican attempts to do so won’t make it out of Congress. “I honestly don’t think it will come to that,” Gibbs said on Thursday in response to a question about whether Barry “O” would veto any repeal attempts. But our buddy Gibbs went beyond commentating on what he thinks will happen with Congress. In his opinion, Tuesday’s elections suggested “nothing” about the American people being interested in “going back” to the way health care was handled before the controversial bill was passed. “I don‘t think any data suggests that that’s what people want to see after Tuesday,” he said. Earth to Bob, Earth to Bob, come in Bob.


So here we are with Barry seeming to take the position that the election outcome does nothing more than to acknowledge what many have seen as his chief weakness, that being the failing to effectively sell the "importance" of his several legislative milestones to the American people. Barry has acknowledged errors since his taking office, such as admitting that he misjudged the pace of the economic recovery. Now wouldn't you think that someone smart enough to get himself elected president would also be smart enough to see that before one can even begin to judge the speed of any economic recovery, you would first have had to put into place those policies which would actually bring just such an occurrence about. But not Barry, nope. “We were so busy and so focused on getting a bunch of stuff done that we stopped paying attention to the fact that, yeah, leadership isn’t just legislation, that it’s a matter of persuading people and giving them confidence and bringing them together, and setting a tone,” Barry said in his softball interview on CBS’s “60 Minutes.” LEADERSHIP? And what kind of an imbecilic statement is that anyway? What kind of leadership is it, exactly, that has been exhibited by our community agitator of a president? Adding, “We haven’t always been successful at that, and I take personal responsibility for that. And it’s something that I have to examine carefully as I go forward.” What a bunch of gibberish. A supposedly humbled Barry, who termed the election outcome as his being on the receiving end of a “shellacking” during a postelection press conference Wednesday, must now grapple with what I'm sure he considers to be a much more emboldened as well as empowered political “enemy.” An enemy that will most assuredly have in its sights the undoing of as much as possible that which Barry sees as having “accomplished” in the last two years. Chief on that list, hopefully, will be an effort to repeal his signature achievement, the healthcare/insurance "reform" debacle. While Barry stopped short of expressing public regrets about any specific policy decisions, he attempted to portray a tone of contrition in a televised news conference the day after Tuesday’s midterm elections saw Republicans recapture the House and narrow the Democratic majority in the Senate. “Part of my promise to the American people when I was elected was to maintain the kind of tone that says we can disagree without being disagreeable. And I think over the course of two years, there have been times where I’ve slipped on that commitment,” Barry said. Gee, ya think? What role were the Republicans even "allowed" to play in advancing his disastrous healthcare/insurance "reform" legislation? Ah, that would be, NONE! Let’s face it, it hasn’t been since the 1930s that voters have so resoundingly rejected a president’s policies and agenda to level that was done just one short week ago. More importantly, the midterm elections sent an even clearer message: Americans will no longer tolerate being subjugated by an elitist attitude in Washington, D.C., an attitude that only serves to demean all that they hold dearest, especially when it originates from their president.


Everything that Barry has "accomplished" over the course of the last two years, and I do mean everything, has had as its primary rationale, the advancing, part and parcel, of his primary objective which is, of course, the “fundamental transforming of America.” Especially its culture and its history. He possesses this inherent belief that it is the state that is much more capable and therefore better equipped, to provide necessary solutions than are individuals, and if Obamacare promises to do anything, it is that it flagrantly promises a “redistribution of wealth” to those whom Barry feels most entitled, as well as most deserving, to receive it. While Barry chooses to see it another way than do most folks, it this rather twisted philosophy of his that is directly responsible for what many see as a backlash and the subsequent Democratic bloodbath that occurred on November 2, 2010. And it was such a dramatic shift that it even found its way directly into Barry’s very own backyard. Might one then say, as Reverend Jeremiah Wright once claimed about the U.S. KKK of A., that Barry's "chickens have now come home to roost?" It was Alexi Giannoulias, the handpicked candidate of Chicago’s political mob, who managed to lose the president’s former Senate seat in what can only be seen as a rather embarrassing defeat to say the least. In Ohio, where Barry made 12 separate campaign stops, and Vice President Joe "Bite Me" Biden visited another seven times, the Democrats still not only managed to lose the gubernatorial race but also had losses in both houses of Congress. The same occurred in Pennsylvania, where Pat Toomey defeated Joe Sestak in the Senate race. It was Sestak who found himself in a pay-for-play scandal involving Arlen Specter and "BJ" Clinton. When Americans cast their ballots on November 2, they clearly denounced Barry's hollow platform of “hope and change” that simply does not reflect the values and principles that a majority of them had been raised on for generations. So when asked by correspondent Steve Kroft if it were true, as Republicans have suggested, that the election was a referendum on him and the Democrat Party, Barry calmly replied, “I think first and foremost, it was a referendum on the economy. And the party in power was held responsible for an economy that is still under-performing and where a lot of folks are still hurting." He acknowledged that he thought the economy would have improved more by now and that he sometimes feels powerless when it comes to spurring growth. “I do get discouraged, I mean, there are times where I thought the economy would [have] gotten better by now,” Barry said. What exactly would have made him think that the economy would have improved at all by now, especially when it seems that he's done everything in his power to create an environment that makes that very thing all that more difficult, if not impossible. “As president… you’re held responsible for everything. But you don't always have control of everything. Especially an economy this big— there are limited tools to encourage— the kind of job growth that we need,” he said, quickly adding that he was “positive” that the U.S. economy will eventually rebound. And just what does he base that little bit of clairvoyance on? Barry conceded that his drive for financial regulatory reform and some of his stimulus efforts have caused business leaders to view him and his administration somewhat warily. Now there's the freakin understatement of the century! “There's no doubt that the relationship with the business community over the course of the last two years at times has gotten strained,” Barry said. “And, so, I think that we've got some repair work to do there.” Repair work? Barry said he has no desire to intrude further into the business sector, but that recent moves in that direction were necessitated by what he called “exceptional circumstances.” Just how much further can he intrude anyway? Does anyone really doubt for even a second that Barry will intrude even further into the private sector should additional circumstances, which he deems as being “exceptional,” arise? “My overarching philosophy is not one in which we have constantly increasing government intervention,” the president said. What? Barry also chose to use the "60 Minutes" interview to signal interest in a possible deal with Republicans that could extend Bush-era tax cuts set to expire at the end of the year. “We’re going to have a negotiation,” Barry said. “I am open to-- you know, finding a way in which, you know, they can meet their, principles and I can meet mine. But in order to do that, I think we do have to answer the question of how we pay for it…. Hopefully, we can agree on a set of facts that leads to a compromise.” Let's not forget how it is that Barry chooses to negotiate. Remember now, He won! However, now it would seem that that shoe just might be on the other foot. Ya think?


Barry sought the "60 Minutes" interview, which he knew would be friendly, as an opportunity to sell the idea that while many of his policy efforts may be unpopular with a majority of Americans, they are the right medicine at the right time, and are desperately needed to address our sharp economic downturn. But he acknowledged that one major contributor to the “big government Obama” narrative, the health care reform law, was something he could have deferred. “At the time, we knew that it probably wasn’t great politics,” Barry said. “I made the decision to go ahead and do it and it proved as costly politically, as we expected. Probably actually a little more costly than we expected, politically,” he added. And one thing I think he should have added is the fact that it was painfully obvious that the American people did not want it. And because of that fact, I think the Democrats, as a whole, were not foolhardy enough to think that the election result was going to be anything other than what it was. But the compulsion to do something that has essentially been the wet dream of liberals for nearly 70 years was just too great to let the opportunity, that being the massive Democrat majorities in Congress, pass them by. Barry also provided a hint of the potential storyline for the upcoming 2012 presidential campaign, when he implied that the health care plan he backed was specifically designed to mirror those proposed in the past by Republicans, including former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, whom Barry suggested is making another bid for the White House. “We thought that if we shaped a bill that wasn’t that different from bills that had previously been introduced by Republicans, including a Republican Governor in Massachusetts who’s now running for president, we would be able to find some common ground there. And we just couldn’t,” Barry said. Look, I'm not sure whether Romney will run again or not, but for Barry to even attempt to make the claim that the plan he supported was somehow patterned after any number of nonexistent plans proposed by any number of Republicans, is more than just a bit disingenuous. The fact of the matter is that there was only one plan proposed back in 2006 by a single Republican governor of what was, and still is, a very Blue state. And it is a plan that has since been significantly bastardized by the Democrats in that state to the point where the cost has now absolutely skyrocketed and even Romney no longer supports it. So I just don't think that through his attempting to portray one plan introduced by one Republican governor as being many different plans proposed by many different Republicans, is going to fly as very far his trying to justify his desire to acquire complete control of the healthcare for every single American. If anything the plan to which he refers to as being a Republican plan, has clearly shown that government run healthcare is simply not practical nor is it cost effective. And it does nothing to bring down the cost of healthcare. So this whole ploy being advanced by Barry is just one more lie being told by this president to justify actions taken by him and his fellow Democrats against the will of the people. Barry also expressed impatience with his more liberal supporters for not understanding the deep divisions in the country. “I will say that when it comes to some of-- my supporters— part of it, I think, is-- the belief that if I just communicated things better, that I’d be able to persuade-- that half of the country that voted for John McCain that we were right and they were wrong. One of the things that I think is important for people to remember is that-- you know, this country-- doesn’t just agree with the New York Times editorial page. And, I can make some really good arguments-- defending the Democratic position. And there are going to be some people who just don’t agree with me. And that’s okay.” What? Well I'm just not sure how it is that you can go about trying to convince people that you're way is better when all you're doing is to either threaten them or completely ignore everything that they have to say. And for him to make the claim that he can make good arguments that defend such an outrageous expansion of government that has taken place over the course of the last years is nothing short of insane. There is no good argument. What Barry fails to comprehend, I guess, is the fact that people, at least most people anyway, do not want the government to be their babysitter. They want government as far removed as possible from their life.


Even with everything that took place on Election day, it would seem that there are still plenty of examples that makes it very clear that there remains many Americans who still just don't get it. First in California, we have 92 percent of the populace who say that they disapprove of their political leaders and the direction they were being led. And despite teetering on the edge of bankruptcy due to rampant overspending and decades of liberal policies, voters still inexplicably elected career politicians Barbara Boxer to Congress, and Jerry “Moonbeam” Brown as governor. Because of that, they now realistically face becoming the first “federalized” state after the nation’s taxpayers are forced to bail them out because they’re “too big to fail.” And then we have in neighboring Nevada, a state racked by 14.5 percent unemployment and an unparalleled foreclosure crisis, union reps spearheading the return of "Dingy" Harry Reid as a U.S. Senator. Yes, this is the same political hack that engineered countless backroom deals in an effort to ensure the passage of Obamacare. And in Connecticut, voters didn’t seem to mind that yet another career Democrat politician, Richard Blumenthal, lied repeatedly about serving in Vietnam, even though he never saw a single day of combat. And when asked about how jobs were created during a debate with his opponent Linda McMahon, Blumenthal couldn’t arrive at any kind of a sensible answer. His lack of real-world experience was glaringly apparent as he feebly mumbled about government being the answer. Next door in Massachusetts, the epitome of a bloated bureaucrat, Rep. Bawney Fwank, cruised to yet another victory in the House. Lest we forget, it was Frank’s former boyfriend, a male hooker, who was once exposed for running a prostitution ring out of Fwank’s basement. Fwank also propped-up Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac; actions which led directly to the U.S. housing collapse and an economy that has yet to recover. And then we have South Carolina, where laughably, 28 percent of voters there gave the nod to Alvin Greene, the Democratic senatorial candidate who had been indicted recently for showing obscene photographs to a young college student last year. What do you want to bet that every one of those who comprised that 28 percent, or at least 99 percent of them, were black? After all, Mr. Green met that single most important qualification required to receive their vote, he was black. There is now a syndrome running rampant throughout the Democrat Party of they’re being shamelessly out of touch with everyday citizen’s that reaches all the way into our nation’s capital. An excellent example of just how far out of touch came a mere two days after the election, where on November 4 Barry "Almighty" began his ten-day jaunt to India. A little jaunt that will cost taxpayers $200 million per day. You do the math. With a 3,000-person entourage that requires 40 jetliners, Barry’s party booked all 570 rooms in the luxurious Taj Mahal Hotel. Experts predict that despite the trip's $2 Billion dollar price tag, no “big results” are likely to result from the trip. It has been said that the last time a leader of any country traveled with such pomp was in the days of the Pharaohs. Yep, but hey, Barry can still feel the pain of the millions of unemployed Americans. Barry’s pre-taped appearance on “60 Minutes” show which came as he was in the midst of his ten-day trip to Asia, presented him with an opportunity to inject discussion of U.S. domestic issues into news coverage of his overseas travels. White House officials are clearly nervous that the journey, parts of which have been repeatedly postponed, could contribute to public perceptions that the president is detached from the economic concerns of everyday Americans. As a result, nearly every stop is expected to include explicit discussions of American jobs tied to foreign exports. It's all just one more con job perpetrated by an out of control political thug.


Whether Barry or not can bring himself to accept it, the sole reason for the drubbing taken by the Democrats on Election Day all the way down to the state level, is him and his European socialist policies. There can be no other explanation. And to make believe it isn’t so does not make it any less of a fact. Many are saying that Barry will no be forced to move more toward the center. Don't bank on that happening. He is driven in his desire to drag us to the left, kicking and screaming if necessary. The Republicans need to be very mindful of the fact that this man will say or do absolutely anything if he sees it as being useful in assisting him to accomplish his goals. We know that he is not above lying if he sees it as a useful tool. As of right now all we can do is to watch, and wait, and hope.

ONE SMALL STEP FOR VOTERS, ONE GIANT LEAP TOWARD RESCUING OUR COUNTRY



And so it is, the American people have spoken! And as such, we have now officially taken that first big step toward the taking of our country, BACK. Although there is much to cheer about, we should be keeping the patting of ourselves on the back to a minimum. Nor is now the time to be resting on our laurels because there is still much work to do. Because the next step, may prove to be even more difficult and possibly even more crucial. Now will come the time for us to closely monitor, not only those recently elected, but also of those who were re-elected, to ensure that they do in fact begin the process of taking those necessary measures which are vital to reducing the ability of our current president in his continuing efforts to "fundamentally transform" America. And what must not be forgotten here, at least from our point of view, is the fact that this is only the first skirmish in what will most likely be a very long and hard fought battle to restore some semblance of sanity to our wildly out of control government. We must be ever watchful of our newly minted Senators and Congressmen, and mindful not to allow this, our most recent success, to be stymied. And it's not just the new folks that will require watching. The old-timers returning will need to be constantly reminded that we'll be looking over their shoulders as well. Because permanence is what we’re looking for here, it’s the long term goal. What was accomplished on Election Day must be made into something that we can build upon as we prepare for 2012. Our ability to achieve any level of success in our present endeavor, now rests squarely upon the shoulders of our newly elected leaders. But even with the votes, for the most part, having now been counted, and Republicans shown to be the primary recipients of those votes, I am still not yet convinced that the message received by those in the Republican Party hierarchy, was, in fact, the message sent by the voters. To put it in terms that should be simple enough for even a politician to understand, that even after having now accomplished some pretty substantial Congressional gains, there still remains much that absolutely needs to be done. First thing right out of the gate is that specific actions must be immediately taken which will leave no doubt in anyone’s mind that promises to derail some or all of what our current president is doing to our country, that were made throughout the various campaigns, will most certainly be kept. And kept no matter what the level of retribution that will most assuredly be generated by the Democrats, their many surrogates in the media as well as any number of leftist organizations and of course by that ever-present enemy of freedom, and Democrat surgardaddy, George Soros. If this does not become "the" top priority, and the behavior by these new kids coming in to town demonstrates that they too are interested only in the maintaining of the status quo, and thus seeming to forget why it was that they were elected, well then, I'm afraid such actions will come to effectively seal the fate of the Republican Party. Because any hint of such hypocrisy coming from those newly elected, and that provides even the slightest evidence that they ran for office under false pretenses, will, for all intents and purposes, cause the party to virtually cease to exist as an entity perceived as being one that can be trusted. And therefore, its ability to remain a viable political party in American politics will simply come to a rather unceremonious end. If this whole exercise turns out to be viewed as nothing more than just one more "opportunity" for certain individuals to regain or to possibly expand their personal political power, and not as the serious rescue mission to save our country, as well as our Constitution, that it needs to be, then it will all have been for naught. And to be perfectly blunt here, if this is the Republican game-plan, then their tenure as the majority party in the House will be very, very short in duration with us in just two short years being right back in the position where we now find ourselves. That is something that the country simply cannot afford. Those in the Republican Party must be made to understand that there will be no more chances given, we simply can't afford it. They should rightly consider this election, at this particular time as being the occasion where that final line in the sand has now been drawn. There is simply too much at stake here to waste time on the juvenile antics of greedy politicians. Either these folks truly do recognize the severity of our present situation and possess the commitment necessary to at least attempt to set things right, or they don't. And if they don't, what useful purpose do they really serve to those who elected them. The honest answer to that question is that they serve no purpose and hence would not be deserving of support. If the perception becomes one where, especially regarding those newly elected, individuals are seen as being unwilling to deliver, then the Republican Party, in its entirety, could very will be sent into exile for what would most certainly be a very long time. And unfortunately, as the Republican Party goes, so goes the country, because there will be no one capable of stopping the Democrats. And as we have seen over the course of the last two years, that produces nothing but catastrophic results. And thus our nation would be made to plunge head long into what would be 1000 years of darkness. And ya know, I still worry that not enough of these guys, new and old, actually get that message, even now. The priorities of this new majority in the House had better be made very clear right from the outset, with an agenda that is focused like a freakin laser on what's best for America and not on necessarily what's best for the Republican Party. All eyes will be on those recently elected, make no mistake about that. The stakes have become entirely too high for "we the people" to be wasting our time on those more concerned with their own political fortunes or on the obtaining of highly coveted leadership positions than about the country. All must be made to understand that if the choice is made to betray "We, the People," retribution will be both swift and sure. We must be willing to hold all of those sent to represent us, to account for their actions. What must be understood is that it will not be "we the people" who are to be the ones forced to go quietly into the night. If the choice is made to ignore us, we will be left with no alternative but to vote them out at the very first opportunity. All must be made to realize that this is not about them, it is not even really about us, it is about something much, much bigger. It is about our country and the making sure that its future is not filled with the darkness of oppression but is instead filled with the very bright light of freedom.



It is most important that those newly elected, be careful in not allowing themselves to become corrupted by the "old pros" that they’ll surely be running into in the halls of the Capital. As well, those "old pros" of the Congress, would do very well to alter some of their more questionable priorities and practices. This election was intended to do one thing. And that was to send a very loud and very clear message that was meant to be a shot across the bow of those who wish to expand government into areas in which it has no business. And, it was meant to issue a warning, of sorts, to Republicans, a warning that says, “Tread lightly boys and girls, we're gonna be watching and listening very, very closely.” From day one, it should be considered as being safe to assume that there will no longer be any room for error regarding our supposed conservative leaders. "I'm sorry," just ain't gonna cut it from here on out. All those who claim to be conservatives should consider themselves as being on "double secret probation" for the duration of their time in Congress. They will be viewed as being either with us or against us. All must be made to understand that there will be no middle ground that will be seen as being acceptable. Mistakes of the past cannot be allowed nor will they be tolerated should they be repeated. What I fear is that too many of those in this new Republican majority still fail to grasp the urgency of our present situation. Many still refuse to accept the fact that what caused the Republicans to be sent packing in 2006, was the fact that they seriously lost their way. They willingly forfeited their conservative principles for nothing more than a pathetic effort to gain votes in an attempt to maintain their power. And what a great many of them still refuse to admit, is the fact that were it not for the blatant socialism of Barry and the Democrats, they would still be wondering around aimlessly in the wilderness with no hope of ever recovering any degree of political power whatsoever. It is a mistake that "We the people" simply cannot afford to have repeated. So we will be ever watchful for those individuals who may get just a bit too comfortable in their lofty positions. Rest assured that we will be keeping all on a very, very short leash, working to keep any and all egos in check. The country simply cannot afford to allow conservatives to lose their way in the same manner as was so obviously done the last time they were entrusted with control of either House of Congress. Especially at this most pivotal, even crucial, time in our history. And should a conscious decision be made to do so again, any chance at redemption will not come until some time in the very distant future, if ever. If another such blunder is made, and they are tossed out yet again, then whatever happens to this country, that could have been prevented had we a bonafide opposition party in place, will rest squarely on the heads of those we had trusted to prevent just such a occurrence from taking place. Because the alternative is so frightening, "we the people" must take whatever measures we deem as being necessary and appropriate to strike the fear of God into those whom we choose to elect. And we must never be afraid to remind any of them, and in no uncertain terms, exactly who it is that they work for. They must realize, that they will be warned once and only once, with that being on Election Day, that to go against the will of the people will be to do so at their own peril. And that they can count on the fact that we will say what we mean and we will mean what we say. There is much too much at stake to go about repeating the idiotic errors of the past, there is simply no time for that, so if the point must be forcefully made that that will not be tolerated, consider it done. It's just that simple. We will stress the priority of being fiscally conservative as well as for the need to approach, from a more conservative perspective, the remedying of any number of social ills that have lead to a serious decline in the quality of our society. Those who refuse to be part of the solution will be considered as being part of the problem. If they prove to be unwilling to follow the dictates of those of us who have put them into office, then it should come as no surprise to them that come election time, they will find themselves on the receiving end of a primary challenge from a candidate more willing to abide by the will of the voters.


So my friends, the time has now come for us to make sure that we do not blow this our first opportunity to put a stop to this apocalyptic agenda of Barry "Almighty." The name of the game now is for "We the people" to take charge and work as hard as possible toward ensuring that all those conservative candidates recently elected, and being seen as the cavalry riding to the rescue of our country, not forget why it was they were elected in the first place. But at the same time we need to be very wary, because the Democrats, including Barry “Almighty”, have now been reduced to cornered animal status and as such, pose a very serious threat. They still possess some very potent weapons in their arsenal and some very strong allies coming in the form of unions and the state run media. But there will be many instances when the Democrats will not be our only adversaries. There are also far too many "inside the beltway," pseudo-conservatives who seem to possess what can only be described as being an over-inflated sense of importance. Instead of focusing all efforts toward actually bringing about a much needed power shift, which should be seen as being the primary goal here, far too many seem much more concerned with seeking out in ways that will further inflate their own personal stature. I have come to question the motives of many who I, at least up to now, had actually come to respect for their conservative stands. I feel quite foolish for being so trusting and have come to be quite disappointed in many supposed conservatives who decided over the course of the previous campaign, to offer aid and comfort, of a sort, to the enemy. The voices of many of these faux conservatives could be heard joining the chorus of voices that came out against some of our more conservative candidates. These folks, who like to refer to themselves as being staunch conservatives and as being the voices of the conservative movement, apparently have some strings attached for they're being willing to back those candidates who were truly conservative. Well, the time has now come for them to either put up or shut up, either they are conservative and wish to offer constructive leadership or they are not. And if they are not, they should go work for the other team because they are most certainly neither wanted nor welcome here. In the end these people may run the risk of losing whatever credibility they may still have. The current level of arrogance, even hypocrisy, currently seen as spewing from those who make up the national Republican political establishment, should be seen by conservatives as a whole, as being nothing more than insulting as well as dangerous. At the present time I can only surmise that the "rhetoric" which we've been hearing for years from these people concerning their strong supporting of conservative principles has all been nothing more than a sham. Since we now have some truly conservative candidates having now been elected to office but who apparently seem to be deserving of nothing more than varying degrees of disdain, even condemnation, from those who deem themselves as being the conservative power brokers. And they should now be told, and in no uncertain terms, that if they are unwilling to lead or unable to follow, then they must simply get out of our way, because we see ourselves as being on a mission. A mission to rescue our country. Either they are conservatives first and foremost and wish to be active participants in this fight, or they are not. And if they do claim to be conservatives, then they had better start getting with the program and stop what is essentially nothing more than the slandering of those who wish to advance the conservative agenda and cease what appears to be their efforts at sabotage. Right now I have two main heroes, Senator Jim DeMint and Governor Sarah Palin. The Mitch McConnells, Lamar Alexanders, John McCains, Lindsey Grahams, the girls from Maine, the whole lot of them are nothing but frauds, pure and simple. They seem to have their collective nose out of joint because the people have grown tired of their moderate, middle of the road kind of crap that we've been forced to swallow for far too long. Change is in the wind, my friends, and some of these faux conservatives would like nothing more than to maintain the status quo. So as I say, a message has now been sent, a very loud and very clear message. The question that remains to be answered, however, is the one that asks how many out there actually listening? So keeping that in mind….ON TO 2012!

IF YOU’RE TOO STUPID TO STAY INFORMED…



…might it then be appropriate for me to consider you as being too stupid to vote as well?


Well my friends, it would seem that the fate of our Republic now rests, and somewhat firmly I might add, in the hands of a sizable group of people made up primarily of the uniformed, but also included a sizable number of the clueless and yes even, the ignorant. A fact, for me at least, that will most likely be a source of more than a few sleepless nights over the course of the next six days. But, I suppose, it's a fact that I am more than quite conficent will bring a certain amount of joy to the hearts of Democrats everywhere as it causes a certain degree of angst to more folks than just myself. What kinda brought this home for me was a very recent “Letters to the Editor” section of my local paper where there was a letter that sums up my previously mentioned sentiment rather nicely, I think. The writer, whom I’m not sure fits in with the uninformed, the clueless or the ignorant, began his letter by making the “claim” that he is one of those Independents who also just so happens to be a fiscal conservative. He also claims to have voted Republican in 10 of the last 14 mid-term elections but is now having second thoughts about doing so this time around. Now usually when a letter begins with such a disclaimer, I'm immediately made suspicious regarding just what the true political affiliation may be of the person who feels the need to even put that out there in the first place. Anyway, the rationale, on which he bases his supposed dilemma regarding his being conflicted on how to vote this time around, stems from the fact that during the 8 years of “BJ” Clinton’s administration, his investments grew 82.5 percent. During the first 2 years of Bush 43’s administration they fell 21.9 percent. Then he adds that during the first two years of Barry’s administration they have once again grown at 19.7 percent. I guess this moron is one of those stellar individuals who have completely forgotten about 9/11 and the catastrophic effects it had on our economy. I would also like to know how his investments may have performed during the last 6 years of Bush 43’s administration. At any rate, to make such an admission that you're such a complete moron and in your hometown newspaper no less and to then include your name, to say the least, takes a lot of guts. Not much brains, but a lot of guts. Because with all of the other rampant destruction of our country presently going on, to admit he’s basing his decision for whom to vote solely on varying degrees of his return on investments, is pretty idiotic. This is the caliber of intellect that we who are trying to salvage what’s left of our country, now find ourselves up against.


Personally, I am one of those who favors using sound conservative reasoning, not some nonsensical touchy, feely gobble-dee-goop, when it comes to the defending of our individual liberty and free markets. Therefore I fully support the premise that advocates the notion that uniformed, clueless or ignorant people should not be permitted to vote unless they can somehow prove that they possess some semblance of knowledge regarding how our constitutional government is supposed to work. As well, they should at least know the basics about the key issues of the day and where the particular candidates and/or parties may stand on those issues. For those of you who may not be familiar with Sean Hannity’s radio show, every now and again he has this most irritating segment that he calls his “Man in the Street” segment. It’s where he sends one of his folks out onto the street to ask random passers by some pretty basic and generic questions about our Constitution, our government and our current batch of political leaders. More often that not most of these respondents reveal that they’re rather clueless as they are rarely if ever able to intelligently answer any questions regarding even most rudimentary facts regarding what our Constitution actually says or even to recognize the names of our more prominent political leadership. And what’s so sad is the fact that these morons seem to think the fact that they're so clueless is so funny. So can someone please tell me what purpose is really served by the allowing of such people, who so obviously lack even the most basic knowledge on topics that are so important, the privilege of partaking in something as critical as voting? In fact, I think it can be safely said that these people who lack such basic knowledge, and see that fact as somehow being humorous, have an actual duty to the rest of us not to vote. Conversely, it is crucial that those people who do work at staying properly informed about politics and of the key issues of the day, do vote. It goes absolutely without saying that democracy works better when informed people vote. To assist in determining exactly where you are as far as being informed, an excellent place to start would be the website www.dontvote.org. Take the test and see how you fair.


Lame excuses abound and have as their source the defenders of those pathetic individuals who care so little about their country that they just can’t seem to bring themselves to be bothered with making even the weakest of attempts to get and to stay informed. There are many who take personal offense with my advocating such a thing as ensuring voters possess a certain amount of intelligence and informational awareness in order for them to then be permitted to enjoy the privilege of voting. There are those who attempt to make the case that the importance of an informed voting public is really over exaggerated. The point they continually try to make is that the desire to have a public that remains informed is impossible, as well as being unrealistic, because the keeping of an informed voting public breaks down when we consider the difficulties of being well-informed about all of the political options available. In economic terms, voters would need to evaluate alternatives for public policies and programs. Strictly speaking, they say, a rational voter would need to first estimate the overall effects of altering or abolishing specific public policies and programs. In addition, for each federal program or policy there are a range of reforms that may have either positive or negative effect on its functioning. A fully informed and rational voter would then be required to ascertain the best options for governmental reform. It is, however, very difficult to ascertain the effects of reforming even one policy or program. Changing one program or policy typically produces unintended consequences. Given the complexity of the United States, and the world for that matter, a significant change in public policy will cause a series of reactions from the people who feel the effects of these changes. So it is argued, that no one person can accurately predict these unintended consequences. Maybe not, but in today’s world with such things as the Internet, as well as the "new" media, it is not all that difficult to form enough of an understanding of the truly important issues that can then assist one in deciding for which candidate or for which party to vote. I will admit, however, that what does add a certain degree of difficulty to this whole process is when you have someone who is as secretive as Barry, who likes to keep things as far out of the public view as possible and has many surrogates more than willing to do his bidding in that endeavor.


Another excuse frequently provided by those who can’t quite bring themselves to support my premise, is their claim that because of the sheer volume of federal policies and programs that currently exist, it’s simply impossible to expect voters to remain sufficiently knowledgeable on all of them. I’m not saying that one has to get down into the minutia of every single piece of legislation or policy, but one should at least be aware of the basics of what is being proposed. It simply makes no sense to me for us to blindly trust those in power for no other reason than because we’re being told that various policies are just too complicated or beyond the comprehension of the general public, policies that the people would simply fail to possess even the slightest understanding of. Come on folks, that whole concept can only lead to one thing. Can anyone say “Obamacare?” As time has gone by since this horrible piece of legislation was signed into law by Barry, we’ve slowly been finding out just what a catastrophe this supposed "healthcare/insurance" reform has turned out to be. While there is no way that the average voter would have ever been able to make him or herself sufficiently knowledgeable regarding all 2000 pages of this disastrous legislation, by design, warning bells were being loudly sounded all around us. And yet it still become law. Even though there was at the time, with many still being available, several sources in the “new media” where one could go to locate the important facts about this horrendous piece of legislation. And yet, many didn’t, choosing instead to believe what it was they were being told by Barry, Nancy and Harry. Also, those who oppose my premise continue to whine about the fact that the U.S. government has dozens of agencies that implement thousands of policies. No one person can possibly achieve a sufficient level of understanding of all of these programs and policies. The federal government has a level of complexity far beyond anyone's wild imagination. So what's the answer, to simply choose to remain ignorant of all the goings on emanating for our rapidly expanding government? I think not! That’s the problem here, folks, government shouldn't be that complex. We’ve strayed so far from the original concept of limited government that our ballooning government is now wildly out of control. While that may be true in the strictest sense, we should not allow ourselves to be intimidated to the point where we become afraid to complain. Knowledge is power. And it is our primary ammunition in our ongoing battle against those whom we must confront on a daily basis and who will try to bully us into keeping quite. But the sad truth of the matter is that more often than not, people are either too lazy, or are simply unwilling, to use the tools that they have at their disposal to go in search of information that could prove crucial to their decision making process.


All these complaints or excuses are nothing more than half-hearted and lackluster blather, which is just simply another way of trying to explain away my claim that if voters were so inclined they could quite easily locate the requisite information that would keep them at least minimally “informed,” regarding the more important issues of the day. The fact is that while voters could defer to experts in such things as antitrust policy, fiscal or healthcare reform policy, where these experts could then advise voters on various policies, it is argued there are several problems with this potential solution. The problem with experts, or so the other side claims, is two fold. First of all they say that experts offer their “opinions" rather than facts. Since different experts disagree as to how policies should change, voters would then have to determine which experts are correct. This problem negates much of the purpose of having experts in the first place. While there is some basis for this argument, I think that by using this excuse, you’re saying that most people are simply too stupid to identify what makes sense and what doesn’t. Second, experts provide opinions on the overall effects of reforming public policies. Rational voters are concerned more with the effects on themselves and those close to them than with the overall effects on the entire electorate. To assume the changes that benefit the group also benefit any member of that group entails the fallacy of division. All that is honestly required is the requisite motivation to go in search of opposing viewpoints regarding any certain policy, and to then judge which one sounds the more realistic and capable of actually being able to provide the benefits that it claims it will produce. All this is, is a denial of where the real problem lies. Which is in the fact that far too many people just do not see the necessity to search out any kind of usable information. Look, we all know that there are any number of highly suspect sources of information out there, both in the state-run media as well as on the web that make the claim of providing reliable information. Which does make it all the more important that multiple sources be utilized in our search for usable, as well as verifiable, information. Granted that does make the process a bit more difficult. But how important is it to ensure that when walking into the voting booth one is armed with the best information possible. We should all be familiar with the caliber of "news" that is spewed on a regular basis by organizations like CNN, The AP, Reuters, the New York Times or any major network, to name just a few, and that it is nothing more than pure Democrat propaganda. I think that most intelligent people recognize that more often than not, the more liberal the policy the more fanciful are the claims being made regarding any potential benefits. The old adage that, “If something sounds too good to be true, it usually is,” is usually a pretty good rule of thumb to follow.


So the bottom line here is that to be a well-informed voter requires nothing more than the making of a conscious decision to do so and to then actually follow through with that decision. Easy, right? But as we all know, you can’t just go out and hold a gun to someone’s head and force them to become actively involved in the process or to be a concerned and informed citizen. A voter must first determine the importance, to them personally, of “working” toward the uncovering of necessary information all in an effort to discover which policies are seen as being able to actually deliver the best results. Each individual voter must evaluate how it is that the overall objectives of any potential policy will equate into the actual achieving of any individual payoffs against any realistic payoffs for the entire country. And then they ascertain the probability of those particular payoffs actually becoming a reality. Having done all this, a voter is now close to making a rational political choice to either vote for those who support such policies or for those who do not. I think to make the claim that voters cannot comprehend the impact that voting has on their own lives is simply a cop out. It does nothing more than to justify the act of being too lazy to go in search of the information in the first place. And ya know, maybe if we had a decent public school system that was more concerned with educating than with indoctrination we would, in all likelihood, be miles ahead of where we are now. But the sad reality of the situation is that we have a pathetically inept public education system which produces, after 13 years of being exposed to it, a net result which equates to nothing more than a population consisting of mind-numbed little socialist robots. It remains focused entirely on the implanting in the minds of our youth, and to an extraordinary level, a sense of anti-Americanism and anti-Capitalism that is advanced by any number of leftist zealots disguised as teachers. And it is then further compounded by the attending of nearly any major institution of so-called higher learning where the steady onslaught of anti-American rhetoric is continued and built upon by radical ideologues disguised as college professors. What ends up being instilled in people is a mentality, of sorts, that is then exacerbated by a criminally dishonest and heavily biased state-run media conglomerate. But look, that's another issue entirely and a topic for another discussion altogether. There are those who make the claim that casting a single vote, among over 100 million, is an act of futility. I beg to differ. One could argue that while voting is much more complicated than most people realize, we have no alternative, no other way of changing the world for the better. The idea that there is no alternative to political participation is false.


So, in 6 days we the voters will once again be provided with that same opportunity we have every two years to throw the bums out. However, more than likely, many of us will once again fail to do what’s necessary for the good of the country and simply choose to reward those very same politicians who have repeatedly deceived us while at the same time assuring us that, yes, they really do care about our problems. We are told that our democracy works best with an informed electorate, a concept that I very firmly support but that appears to be lost on nearly a majority of voters. Today's voters largely operate from a point as basic as a "gut feel." They cast their ballots based on nothing more than "group think," better known as the "straight ticket." They vote according to strict party affiliation, Republican or Democrat, and they are easily manipulated by those very same extreme, negative ads that have already begun to overwhelm us. Sadly, if not for this bad information coming in the form of negative ads and spin propaganda, most voters would enter the polls with absolutely no information whatsoever. Then, they wonder why once in office those for whom they voted behave so differently than what was promised. Look, if a working democracy is founded on an enlightened electorate, we are most assuredly in very deep trouble. Early on, this election was reduced to being a simple venting of rage by a frustrated electorate and egged on, to a certain degree, by a blatantly biased media. And for those whose conscience is somehow bothered by the lure of lower taxes and not so sure about the economic reasoning behind such a gesture, anger conquers the last inhibitions. Here we are, entering a century in which this country will be severely challenged to maintain some semblance of the living standard achieved at great cost over the past two or three lifetimes, and an election that very well could be decided by those, many of whom, have no clue regarding the true role of government. And what’s worse, they have no interest in discovering what the responsibilities are of their government. And at a time when we have a president talking about having "enemies" and wishing to seat the opposition, soon to be majority, party in the "back seat," I think very safe to say that what we have here is a rabid narcissist who is quite possibly the angriest individual that we have yet had the misfortune to have in the White House. It all just goes to show the urgency in ensuring we all vote!

BARRY'S TAX INCREASE TSUNAMI COMING AT US IN THREE WAVES


Well if this doesn't motivate you to get out and vote, nothing will....



"It takes twenty years to build a reputation and five minutes to loose it. If you think about that, you will do things differently." Warren Buffett


In just a little over 2 months, on January 1, 2011, the largest tax hikes in American history will take effect. They will hit families and small businesses in three great waves. So, on January 1, 2011 here's what happens. And this goes for all you who voted for Barry as well. So all that nonsense about not raising taxes for anyone making less that $250,000, that,my friends was nothing more than a bald faced a LIE!


First Wave:


Expiration of 2001 and 2003 Tax Relief: In 2001 and 2003, the GOP Congress enacted several tax cuts for investors, small business owners, and families. These will all expire on January 1, 2011. Then...


Personal income tax rates will rise.


The top income tax rate will rise from 35 to 39.6 percent (this is also the rate at which two-thirds of small business profits are taxed). The lowest rate will rise from 10 to 15 percent. All the rates in between will also rise. Itemized deductions and personal exemptions will again phase out, which has the same mathematical effect as higher marginal tax rates.


The full list of marginal rate hikes is below:


· The 10% bracket rises to an expanded 15%


· The 25% bracket rises to 28%


· The 28% bracket rises to 31%


· The 33% bracket rises to 36%


·  The 35% bracket rises to 39.6%


Higher taxes on marriage and family.


The "marriage penalty" (narrower tax brackets for married couples) will return from the first dollar of income.


The child tax credit will be cut in half from $1000 to $500 per child.


The standard deduction will no longer be doubled for married couples relative to the single level.


The dependent care and adoption tax credits will be cut.


The return of the Death Tax.


This year only, there is no death tax. (It’s a quirk!) For those dying on or after January 1, 2011, there is a 55 percent top death tax rate on estates over $1 million. A person leaving behind two homes, a business, a retirement account, could easily pass along a death tax bill to their loved ones. Think of the farmers who don’t make much money, but their land, which they purchased years ago with after-tax dollars, is now worth a lot of money. Their children will have to sell the farm, which may be their livelihood, just to pay the estate tax if they don’t have the cash sitting around to pay the tax. Think about your own family’s assets. Maybe your family owns real estate, or a business that doesn’t make much money, but the building and equipment are worth $1 million. Upon their death, you can inherit the $1 million business tax free, but if they own a home, stock, cash worth $500K on top of the $1 million business, then you will owe the government $275,000 cash! That’s 55% of the value of the assets over $1 million! Do you have that kind of cash sitting around waiting to pay the estate tax?


Higher tax rates on savers and investors.


The capital gains tax will rise from 15 percent this year to 20 percent in 2011.


The dividends tax will rise from 15 percent this year to 39.6 percent in 2011.


These rates will rise another 3.8 percent in 2013.


Second Wave:


Obamacare


There are over twenty new or higher taxes in Obamacare. Several will first go into effect on January 1, 2011. They include:


The "Medicine Cabinet Tax"


Thanks to Obamacare, Americans will no longer be able to use health savings account (HSA), flexible spending account (FSA), or health reimbursement (HRA) pre-tax dollars to purchase non-prescription, over-the-counter medicines (except insulin).


The "Special Needs Kids Tax"


This provision of Obamacare imposes a cap on flexible spending accounts (FSAs) of $2500 (Currently, there is no federal government limit). There is one group of FSA owners for whom this new cap will be particularly cruel and onerous: parents of special needs children.


There are thousands of families with special needs children in the United States , and many of them use FSAs to pay for special needs education. Tuition rates at one leading school that teaches special needs children in Washington , D.C. ( National Child Research Center ) can easily exceed $14,000 per year. Under tax rules, FSA dollars can not be used to pay for this type of special needs education.


The HSA (Health Savings Account) Withdrawal Tax Hike.


This provision of Obamacare increases the additional tax on non-medical early withdrawals from an HSA from 10 to 20 percent, disadvantaging them relative to IRAs and other tax-advantaged accounts, which remain at 10 percent.


Third Wave:


The Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) and Employer Tax Hikes


When Americans prepare to file their tax returns in January of 2011, they'll be in for a nasty surprise-the AMT won't be held harmless, and many tax relief provisions will have expired.


The major items include:


The AMT will ensnare over 28 million families, up from 4 million last year.


According to the left-leaning Tax Policy Center , Congress' failure to index the AMT will lead to an explosion of AMT taxpaying families-rising from 4 million last year to 28.5 million. These families will have to calculate their tax burdens twice, and pay taxes at the higher level. The AMT was created in 1969 to ensnare a handful of taxpayers.


Small business expensing will be slashed and 50% expensing will disappear.


Small businesses can normally expense (rather than slowly-deduct, or "depreciate") equipment purchases up to $250,000. This will be cut all the way down to $25,000. Larger businesses can currently expense half of their purchases of equipment.


In January of 2011, all of it will have to be "depreciated."


Taxes will be raised on all types of businesses.


There are literally scores of tax hikes on business that will take place. The biggest is the loss of the "research and experimentation tax credit," but there are many, many others. Combining high marginal tax rates with the loss of this tax relief will cost jobs.


Tax Benefits for Education and Teaching Reduced.


The deduction for tuition and fees will not be available.


Tax credits for education will be limited.


Teachers will no longer be able to deduct classroom expenses.


Coverdell Education Savings Accounts will be cut.


Employer-provided educational assistance is curtailed.


The student loan interest deduction will be disallowed for hundreds of thousands of families.


Charitable Contributions from IRAs no longer allowed.


Under current law, a retired person with an IRA can contribute up to $100,000 per year directly to a charity from their IRA.


This contribution also counts toward an annual "required minimum distribution." This ability will no longer be there.


And worse yet?


Now, your insurance will be INCOME on your W2's!


One of the surprises we'll find come next year, is what follows - - a little "surprise" that 99% of us had no idea was included in the "new and improved" healthcare legislation . . . those who backed this administration will be astonished!


Starting in 2011, (next year folks), your W-2 tax form sent by your employer will be increased to show the value of whatever health insurance you are given by the company. It does not matter if that's a private concern or governmental body of some sort.
If you're retired? So what... your gross will go up by the amount of insurance you get.

You will be required to pay taxes on a large sum of money that you have never seen. Take your tax form you just finished and see what $15,000 or $20,000 additional gross does to your tax debt. That's what you'll pay next year.


For many, it also puts you into a new higher bracket so it's even worse.


This is how the government is going to buy insurance for the15% that don't have insurance and it's only part of the tax increases.


Not believing this??? Here is a research of the summaries.....


On page 25 of 29: TITLE IX REVENUE PROVISIONS- SUBTITLE A: REVENUE OFFSET PROVISIONS-(sec. 9001,


as modified by sec. 10901) Sec.9002 "requires employers to include in the W-2 form of each employee the aggregate cost of applicable employer sponsored group health coverage that is excludable from the employees gross income.
So there you go. And I just gotta ask, how's that "Hope and Change" workin for ya?
