Political Whores

First we had the Six Million Dollar Man ... then we had the Bionic Woman ... Now we have Mary Landrieu ... The 300 Million Dollar Whore!

Vince Flynn

Glenn Beck is interviewing Vince Flynn ... good stuff. I read Pursuit of Honor three weeks ago. It's a pretty quick read. I'm not an avid fiction reader ... but I did enjoy the book. All I can say is we all need to have a little bit of Mitch Rapp in all of us. We need a new CIA ... the Civilian Intelligence Agency!

During this interview Beck explainded the Overton Window. I used to tell my Democrat friends that in light of the current atmosphere, John F. Kennedy looks like a center-right Republican. This was my way of explaining the Overton Window ... I just didn't know it had a name.

The Glenn Beck Strategy

So as not to be accused of participating in the Glenn Beck echo chamber, I am posting my thoughts on a patriot strategy to re-take the homeland. Beck has been hyping his plan for weeks now. Here is what I think should be part of the plan.

1: Hillary Clinton, you remember, was the carpetbagger that moved to New York to run for the Senate. We need our own carpetbagger movement. We need strong articulate patriots to re-locate to vulnerable Democrat or Rhino statist districts. That doesn't necessarily mean they run for office. It means they will find the local patriots who will eventually lead their districts out of the Federal morass. Having the moral compulsion to do the right thing, potential candidates must commit to term limits. We must find pro capitalists that will go to Washington D.C., work for THE PEOPLE, and leave.

2: Replicate strategy 1 on a state rep level.

• Find districts with Democrat Statists and Republican Statists and work the grass roots to throw them out.
• Find States rights proponents and limited government conservatives to run as candidates to replace them.
• Exert 10th amendment states rights.
• The already strong states must re-double their assertiveness.

3: Strong states must make it attractive for businesses to re-locate. These states should be pro business, pro energy, low taxation, pro gun, pro free speech, pro freedom of association.

4: These state must strongly back and defend those who wish to civilly disobey unconstitutional federal mandates.

Random Thoughts

Harry Reid is a complete lying statist!

No matter what happens in the Senate ... the Republicans must force the bill to be read aloud into the record. This should be demanded ... and Republicans must suck it up and read the whole thing ... even if it takes forty hours. Then the wizards of smart (like Beck and Limbaugh) can piece together a wonderful montage of "government shalls" and "fee for this" and "penalty for that" and "tax on this." The montage of the clips alone would consume at least an hour.

The last half hour of the Glenn Beck radio show was priceless today! It reminded me of why I started listening to him way back before it was cool. I used to catch Beck on WTAM starting five or six years back. It's funny, I would tune in WTAM only to hear dead silence ... a full ten seconds later Glenn Beck would finish some intense thought. I used to call Beck the master of the pregnant pause.

Today he was excoriating Norah O'donnel. He played audio of her grilling a young lady in line for the Palin book signing. She intensely asked the young lady about TARP ... and when sensing she had tripped up the young lady, O'donnel proceeded to quote Palin supporting McCain's support of the TARP. The kicker of the whole thing is that the young lady being interviewed .... was ... 13 years old! One of the funniest bits I have heard Beck do in a long time.

But to address the issue. Of course Palin had to support McCain ... she was running for Vice President not President.

Patriot Pamphleteering

I'm uploading some scans of good solid Patriot Pampheteering from my bus trip to D. C. on Thursday, November 5 2009. This piece of literature was in my car up against some self-stick forever stamps. One of the Liberty Bells got accidently affixed itselft to the back of the pamphlet. I looked at it and thought to myself, "The Liberty Bell is askew, freedom at risk." I left the stamp as it was ... a good reminder.

Michelle And Her Coutiers

Statists create beauracracies. Extreme statists create extreme beauracracies! It doesn't matter if an extreme statist is white or black or purple or green, male or female, short or tall, eloquent in speech or stuttering ... STATISTS CREATE BEAURACRACIES AND DESTROY FREEDOM! What we have here below is an example of the beauracracy created for the pampering, scheduling, and coifing Michelle Obama.

The comments in yellow are the comments of an annonymous emailer (but I agree with them)
List of assistants in blue are from the article below.

Michelle and her 'servants' " or The Queen is in her parlor....From an article in The Canadian Free Press: (our media wouldn't dare publish for fear of being called racist)

Never in the history of the White House has a First Lady spent so much on so many personal assistants, all paid from taxpayer dollars.

• Hilary had three;
• Jackie Kennedy one;
• Laura Bush one;
• and prior to Mamie Eisenhower, social help came from the President's own pocket.

Michelle Obama has 26.

From makeup artist Ingrid Miles and hairstylist Johnny Wright to her "chief of staff" Susan Sher, whose salary is $172,200.00.

The First Lady does not get paid to serve as First Lady, and she doesn't perform any official duties. But this hasn't deterred her from hiring an unprecedented number of staffers to cater to every whim and satisfy every request in the midst of a great Recession.

Sort of makes one think the White House has been mistaken for the Versailles Court of Marie (let 'em eat cake) Antoinette, doesn't it?

Here are your tax dollars at work ... here is the list of personal assistants to Michelle Obama

• $172,200 - Sher, Susan (CHIEF OF STAFF)
• $140,000 - Frye, Jocelyn C. (DEPUTY ASSISTANT TO THE PRESIDENT AND DIRECTOR OF POLICY AND PROJECTS FOR THE FIRST LADY)
• $113,000 - Rogers, Desiree G. (SPECIAL ASSISTANT TO THE PRESIDENT AND WHITE HOUSE SOCIAL SECRETARY)
• $102,000 - Johnston, Camille Y. (SPECIAL ASSISTANT TO THE PRESIDENT AND DIRECTOR OF COMMUNICATIONS FOR THE FIRST LADY)Winter, Melissa E. (SPECIAL ASSISTANT TO THE PRESIDENT AND DEPUTY CHIEF OF STAFF TO THE FIRST LADY)
• $90,000 - Medina , David S. (DEPUTY CHIEF OF STAFF TO THE FIRST LADY)
• $84,000 - Lelyveld, Catherine M. (DIRECTOR AND PRESS SECRETARY TO THE FIRST LADY)
• $75,000 - Starkey, Frances M.. (DIRECTOR OF SCHEDULING AND ADVANCE FOR THE FIRST LADY)
• $70,000 - Sanders, Trooper (DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF POLICY AND PROJECTS FOR THE FIRST LADY)
• $65,000 - Burnough, Erinn J. (DEPUTY DIRECTOR AND DEPUTY SOCIAL SECRETARY)Reinstein, Joseph B. (DEPUTY DIRECTOR AND DEPUTY SOCIAL SECRETARY)
• $62,000 - Goodman, Jennifer R. (DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF SCHEDULING AND EVENTS COORDINATOR FOR THE FIRST LADY)
• $60,000 - Fitts, Alan O. (DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF ADVANCE AND TRIP DIRECTOR FOR THE FIRST LADY)
• $52,500 - Lewis, Dana M. (SPECIAL ASSISTANT AND PERSONAL AIDE TO THE FIRST LADY)
• $52,500 - Mustaphi, Semonti M. (ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR AND DEPUTY PRESS SECRETARY TO THE FIRST LADY)
• $50,000 - Jarvis, Kristen E. (SPECIAL ASSISTANT FOR SCHEDULING AND TRAVELING AIDE TO THE FIRST LADY)$45,000 - Lechtenberg, Tyler A. (ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR OF CORRESPONDENCE FOR THE FIRST LADY)
• $45,000 - Tubman, Samantha (DEPUTY ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR,SOCIAL OFFICE)
• $40,000 - Boswell, Joseph J. (EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT TO THE CHIEF OF STAFF TO THE FIRST LADY)
• $36,000 - Armbruster, Sally M (STAFF ASSISTANT TO THE SOCIAL SECRETARY)Bookey, Natalie (STAFF ASSISTANT)Jackson, Deilia A. (DEPUTY ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR OF CORRESPONDENCE FOR THE FIRST LADY)

This adds up to a whopping $1,600,700.00 and the amount doesn’t include the elite benefit packages granted to the White House staff and their significant others (include same-sex partners).

Nor does the figure take into account the salaries for the two additional full-time staff members mentioned by Mrs. Obama’s Press Secretary nor the full time hair-dresser and makeup artist assigned to her.

A guesstimate of the total salaries for Mrs. Obama’s attendants is $1,750,00.00 plus the additional benefits.Who actually APPROVES and allocates this funding???GUESS WHO????"In my own life, in my own small way, I have tried to give back to this country that has given me so much," she said. "See, that’s why I left a job at a big law firm for a career in public service."

Michelle Obama. Miz Michelle, who requires 26 personal assistants at a cost of $1,750,00.00 plus change- - - the only change American taxpayers can believe in!!!

Yesterday ... a very unlucky day

Yesterday was Friday the 13th. It will prove to be a very unlucky day for America.

Obama's decision to try war criminals in a civilian court is nothing more than "political theater." This is the term he himself used when asking congress to hold off the investigation of a clear act of terrorism by Nidal Hassan. These criminals of 911 have already confessed. Bringing them here will create new terror targets, destroy our intelligence services, and make the United States less safe. This president is wreckless, short-sighted, and cowardly.

Meeps!

I love it! Some high schoolers have been interrupting class by uttering the nonsense word of a Sesame Street character. I guess they have been saying the word "meep." They're driving teachers and administrators nuts.

America! There is hope! This is the greatest piece of news I have heard in a long time. It says, "We're teenagers and screw your high-minded drivel! Screw the establishment!" They are screaming, "We are not sheep!" We are Americans ... the rugged individual is the authority ... not the pedantic hand-me-downs and ideas that history has always revealed to be roads to failure. Thanks, but I'll bend my own mind. We need more meepers and a lot less sheepers.

But beware my children ... do not be cowed and prodded as a whole for the sake of your modern distractions. Please, please meep ... for we are not sheep.

Common Sense

On November 3, 2009 I posted "Assaut on Liberty." A day or two later, Drudge posted an article about the penalties for non-compliance with the government run health care plan. In short, the IRS can fine you $250,000.00 and throw you in jail for five years if you do not purchase health insurance and consequently refuse to pay the 2.5% fine. I believe the very first paragraph of Thomas Paine's Common Sense is appropriate here.

"Some writers have so confounded society with government, as to leave little or no distinction between them; whereas they are not only different, but have different origins. Society is produced by our wants, and government by our wickedness; the former promotes our happiness positively by uniting our affections, the latter negatively by restraining our vices. The one encourages intercourse, the other creates distinctions. The first is a patron, the last a punisher."

Pelosi is a lunatic

In her press conference, after narrowly passing the health care legislation, Nancy Pelosi just said that "Democrats voted for this bill and one Republican ... that equals bi-partisan." This woman is out of her flippin mind. No really ... the lunatics are running the asylum.

I made the trip to Washington D.C. two days ago to join the thousands of other Americans seeking to make their voices heard. It looks like I will be going back again. I hope more and more concerned Americans will commit to making a trip to D.C. . We must keep up the fight to make our voices heard! We need an American Citizen Filibuster!

Assault On Liberty

I will be printing several copies of this letter and handing them to blue dog democrats in congress.






ASSAULT ON LIBERTY




Over one hundred and fifty years ago, a very wise man wrote this, “I heartily accept the motto, - ‘That government is best which governs least.’ ” Further on he adds, “Government is at its best but an expedient; but most governments are usually, and all governments are sometimes, inexpedient.” That wise man was Henry David Thoreau from his essay On the Duty of Civil Disobedience.


Ladies and gentlemen, this piece of legislation is the crown jewel of inexpedient government. First off it destroys trees (where are all the environmentalist protesters now!). But in all seriousness, it destroys life (mandating abortion coverage). It destroys liberty (placing the government in a position to decide the fate of our own flesh and blood). It destroys happiness (eventually forcing the 85 percent of people happy with their health insurance into a government run monstrosity). This bill is like a kernel of un-popped popcorn just waiting to explode into a bevy of unintended consequences and costs. I here today can predict what some of those costs will be. Billions of dollars will be spent on both sides to defend and attack this unconstitutional piece of drivel. Billions will be spent to build jails to hold millions of people, like me, who will exercise his duty to disobey the mandates of this unconstitutional bill.


This bill is not about health care! Just as Cap and Trade legislation is not about the environment! Both are about government power and control. Both seek to control every aspect of individual American lives. This congress is pressing an agenda of soft tyranny. AND THIS WILL NOT STAND! Tone deaf legislators beware … WE WILL THROW YOU OUT! YOU WORK FOR US! VOTE FOR THIS BILL AND WE WILL FIRE YOU!


Thoreau continues, “this government never of itself furthered any enterprise, but by the alacrity with which it got out of its way. It does not keep the country free. It does not settle the West. It does not educate. The character inherent in the American people has done all that has been accomplished.” And allow me to add my own words. Looking at the modern day inexpedient government and its burdensome enterprises … It cannot run an efficient rail system (Amtrak) … Conrail does. It cannot run an efficient postal system … Federal Express does. It cannot run an efficient health care system. Medicare is fraught with fraud and abuse. It cannot run a retirement safety net system … Social Security is bankrupt. Nearly everything the government undertakes becomes more inefficient. The claim that this bill is deficit neutral is an absolute lie!


Thoreau goes on to quote one of my favorite Chinese philosophers … NOT THE DICTATOR AND MURDERER AND WHITEHOUSE FAVORITE MAO TSE TUNG … but Confucius. He says, “If a State is governed by the principles of reason, poverty and misery are the subjects of shame; if a State is not governed by the principles of reason, riches and honors are the subject of shame.” It is quite clear today that the government has sought to shame the citizens that produce wealth. This government seeks to take from the producers and give to the non-producers. The State has clearly lost its reason.


It is not just the right, but the duty of every red-blooded American to commit to an act of civil disobedience. Do not bend to the will of the Statist!
