Obama's Katrina

I feel bad that I haven't posted in a few weeks. I am back in the Cleveland area after a winter stint in Vail, Colorado. I have been thrown right into the mix. I am extremely busy with my new position as the bar manager at one of the hottest summer spots in the area. To regain my sanity ... I need to vent a little.

So much has been going on ... I don't know where to start. I'll start with the most recent news first and work my way back.

There have been complaints that the federal response to the oil spill in the Gulf has been slow.

Is this Obama's Katrina? Hell No! Obama is the New Age Teflon (NAT) president! He makes Ronald Reagan look like a golf circuit grinder. The cries now will be that the disaster was truly a consequence of a modern man-made interference. Back at Katrina the left would play the race card and inject lunatic conspiracies that Bush was deliberately messing with the weather patterns. Now the slow federal response can be blamed on the fact that the community organizer has no concept of how an oil rig works (and doesn't want to). The experts in the oil industry are in the private sector ... and why would Obama want anything to do with the private sector?  Katrina and the oil disaster have one thing in common. THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS NOT REALLY AN EXPERT IN A N Y T H I N G. (exceptions: taxation and corruption)

But Now! But Now! The current government can demonize the "evil" oil corporations. Obviously they are negligent. Here's one more excuse for the government to get all up in the oil business. And their favorite target Haliburton is now in the cross hairs. Haliburton is the company that poured the cement for the oil well head at the bottom of the gulf. This is where the failure happened.

I'm getting sick of looking at Obama's elitist chin, jutting to the left, as he punctuates his egoic platitude in the form of a powerful word.

This whole Goldman Sachs business is just a giant shell game. The Obama administration (and the federal government in general) is riddled with former Goldman Sachs employees. This whole dog and pony show is just a smokescreen. It is a way for "cowboy Obama" to wrap the rope of socialism around the hooves of the American economic horse (see the Born Free Express blog). I'm sure there are backroom deals being done by the administration. Obama is in the process of selling his soul to Government Sachs. He is surely promising big rewards for many of them in the future in exchange for the pain he is putting them through now.

Hooray for Arizona! It's about time!

Seth Meyers on Saturday Night Live said something to the effect that "nothing screams Fascism like the words, 'show me your papers.' " This was very offensive to me. He left out one minor thing. Back then people were running away from the Third Reich, which was truly profiling people for one sole purpose: killing them.  In this case people are running toward freedom and opportunity. This I have no quarrel with. I love Hispanic people. Some of the warmest, good-hearted  people I have met in my life were Hispanics. My quarrel is with a federal government which, in the name of civil rights, sides with the people here illegally and against the civil rights of the legal citizen ... something which is (in theory now-a-days) conferred by the rule of law. In Obama's twisted mind, the way to stem the flow of illegals is to make the United States a less desirable place to run to! Good job, you idiot usurper!

So Seth Meyers, what do you  think will happen when Obamacare kicks in? That will take the notion of "show me your papers" to a whole new level! Just wait Seth ... wait until you are 400th in line for surgery on your prostate someday. Arizona is simply enforcing a law that the federal government refuses to enforce. More states please!

The whole idea that "illegals do the jobs that Americans just won't do" doesn't wash anymore. Our dollars are being sent out of the country and the strain on social services for illegals is at the breaking point.

So deal with it! Thank you Arizona.

Hooray for Arizona again! The Arizona legislature also passed a law requiring any future presidential candidates to show proof of eligibility. Double Hooray!! More states please!

... and another thing about SNL. This is an excruciatingly funny and well crafted show these days. But interspersed among the hilarity are bits based on mainstream media buy-ins. This is dangerous because the hopelessly misinformed will also buy in to a myth that is being perpetuated through a stereotype ... one that is not based on a shred of the truth.

One bit in particular was disturbing to me. The scene starts out with a group of guys sitting around in lawn chairs, reminiscing about old times. As the conversation rolls on, each of the four admit to some form of lewd and lascivious behavior. One has sex with corpse; the other is a pedophile that works for the Catholic church ... and so on. As they wrap up the conversation, one of the group says, "well, are you ready to do this?" They all say "yes" and proceed to don their Revolutionary War era tricorner hats. They each pick up their sign and set out to attend a T.E.A. Party. At the end of the skit I asked myself, "Are they attempting to poke fun at the T.E.A. Party members themselves, or are they poking fun at the media's demonization of the group?" It is probably the former, since SNL is itself participating in the fraudulent thinking. But they have been ripping on Obama a good bit as of late. This is encouraging. At least they participate in equal opportunity lampooning.

Seeing the satellite photos of the ash plume from the Icelandic volcano reminds me of how little mankind really impacts the environment. The amount of CO2 introduced into the atmosphere from that one event alone probably dwarfs what man has introduced over the last ten years. Look for the summer of 2011 to be the "summer that never was." Cooling is on the way. To hell with these academic elitists!

Let the Dismantling Begin

Obama has just landed in Prague to sign a treaty with the Russians to reduce nuclear weapons. He's making good on his promise to "bring the military into the 21st century." Essentially he is weakening the U.S. by handcuffing our ability to respond to the people who want to kill us. I believe I warned of this in "My Plea". See paragraph eight.

All this is being done while Putin meets with Chavez to sign an oil and nuclear power deal. Of course this is all for peaceful purposes. There is no chance that Chavez, the Latin bully, would want to start developing weapons grade nuclear material! Right? Wrong. Why should Russia care about reducing their own weaponry when they have rogue states like Iran and Venezuela in their pocket. They can transfer nuclear technology to them and wash their hands of it.

Doling out the pre-election cash

Ohio just announced that this summer will be the busiest road construction season on record ... eclipsing the previous record by 30%. This confirms my prediction of March 22.

Obama's "home" Country

I just heard Michelle Obama say that when she and Barack went to visit "his HOME country" of Kenya, they went and had a public aids test as a show of support.

She meant the country of his ancestors ... right?

OR ... is it a case of the classic Freudian slip? ummmmmmmm


To be (a birther), or not to be (a birther). That is the question.



... and I find it humorous that people like Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity are demonized .... and these guys won't even bite on the birther issue!

This is done by the left to make people like Joseph Farah look like real lunatics. WHAT ABOUT THE ACTUAL WORDS OF THE ACTUAL PERSON WHO IS INTIMATELY INVOLVED WITH THE PERSON IN QUESTION!?


Update 5/9/10: More video ... more evidence or just another slip of the tongue? ... a Kenyan or a man of Kenyan decent. WHICH ONE IS IT? If you can't stand to watch this just fast forward to the 2:10 mark and watch from there.

Hollywood

I'm still waiting for the outrage from the Federal government concerning the enormous profits being raked in by the Hollywood movie studios. Last week it was announced that ticket prices would be going up. Oh wait, Hollywood agrees with the administration ... they're safe! It's only the corporations that disagree with Obamacare that get called before congress. It's OK when Hollywood (realizing that taxes are going up ... way up) decides to protect its bottom line. But when ordinary corporations follow suit ... of course they will be demonized by the Obama administration.

The new campaign by the D.C. tourism bureau revolves around the concept of POWER ... "create your own power trip." Since the president is on his own power trip, you might as well be on your own power trip. I get it ... that is so cute!

Here is some advice to all the waves of patriot protesters that will be descending on Washington D.C. in the coming months. Pack a lunch; bring your own water; fill your tank before you get into town. Do everything you can to stop yourself from spending a dime in Washington D.C.! The politicians are already spending your money and the money your children have yet to earn. Why spend more? You are already sacrificing your time and money to be there. Don't pile on more.

Picking Our Way Through The World

As we make our way through the world, we meet some interesting people. We meet people that we connect with; we meet others with which we feel indifference. We meet some that evoke outright disdain. Some people have light energy; Others have the energy of a black hole, trying to suck others of lighter energy into a cauldron of negativity. Sometimes it can be so bad that we wonder if the person we are encountering needs a strict regimen of pharmaceuticals ... or perhaps the discontinuation of all pharmaceuticals ...we can't figure it out. No matter. In all experiences, we learn. So let me relate my experience with one of those light energy people.

This individual's initials are O.M. While this may inspire the thought of a Bodhisattva meditating and chanting the sound of all creation, you would be mistaken. This individual was born in Tel Aviv and studied at Brandeise University. He is a liberal Jew born and bred! He is steeped in the liberal ideology of his upbringing and education. There is no way to present an argument that will sink in past his conditioning. Yet he is one of the coolest cats I have met out here in Vail! But he is a typical liberal in one sense. Rather than discussing any philosophical difference rationally, he would rather plug his fingers into his ears and go "la la la la la." He has never actually done this. But he does it in a virtual sense. His attitude is that his ideology is by default correct, and he wouldn't want to dislike me because of my "off the ranch" kind of thinking. So when I give him a ribbing that Obama is dissing his boy Bebe Netanyahu, and that Obama is an anti-Semite, he changes the subject. But we can joke about our differences and make light of the thing, despite our entrenched opposite views. I have, and have had, many other liberal friends and acquaintences. One of them is such a good friend, that I wrote him the long letter you see to the right. We remain good friends despite our political differences. I love the people on the other side that are up for the rough and tumble. I used to look forward to going to work because one particular fellow worker (J.S.) was willing to go to the mat in political dialogue ... and he had the same zeal, I'm sure. I don't hate people that have opposite views. I try to make a logical argument and expect them to do the same. This is how it was in the old days ... like in the 1780's.

Now my landlord out here (K.K.), is an Obama Zombie if I ever met one (sorry, that's not really a very nice thing to say). But I don't mean it perniciously. My landlords have been gracious hosts and are both wonderful people. They are both light energy people. Like I said, I don't dislike people who disagree with me. But here is the plain fact. Vail wouldn't be here if it wasn't for late Peter W. Seibert, who hiked seven hours up a mountain with his friend Earl Eaton and had a vision and a determination to make a dream come true. Could Seibert have had the same dream under the Stalin, the freedom to pursue it under Mao, or the private property rights to develop it under Chavez? The answer is NO! I simply cannot understand how anyone can ignore the history of how the socialist and authoritarian regimes of the past have ultimately turned out. Every such regime that has ever existed ends up reducing wealth, eroding human rights, destroying property rights, destroying initiative, indoctrinating children, etc. It has never turned out well ... EVER! And for Obama to simply laugh off those who call him a socialist (and say that protesters have nothing to back up the argument) is nothing but a ploy to reassure the uninformed.

Now (K.K.) has actually plugged her ears and gone "la la la la la" when faced with the rational argument against Obamacare. It's kind of funny. I laughed out loud. Simply dismiss the attempt to communicate logically by refusing the communication all together! I guess I got a little fired up. But I don't begrudge the people on the other side of the argument, and I hope those on the other side don't begrudge me. What I'm finding though, is a pattern of dismissal right off the rip. Why? ... Does the concept of the bankruptcy of the United States of America not give pause for thought? (see chart below). What really bothers the liberal is that their stereotype of the libertarian/conservative as a hateful person does not fit the reality. It is easier to buy the lamestream media line that conservatives and tea party patriots are motivated by racism and all that garbage than it is to face the facts of our deteriorating American dream. The ecstasy of the final triumph of the progressive vision (by means of the Whitehouse political thumbscrew) is being disrupted by throngs of Americans saying, "that's way over the line." This bothers the true dyed in the wool liberal. But that's OK! What is not OK is to hate a person solely for the fact that you dislike their views or ideas. "Love thy enemy".

Below is a rational argument. The Republicans gained a majority in the 104th Congress. They reigned in Clinton's spending and actually created a surplus. (Remember: Lower taxes increase revenues to the treasury). Then Republicans lost their way, caved to the Progressives, and over spent. Now we have the Pelosi, Reed, and Obama triumvirate. Look at the chart now! It's out of control.

Libs love to say the word "sustainability." Is there anything on this chart that screams sustainability? (Remember: Higher taxes discourage economic activity and decrease revenues to the treasury). In other words, it's actually worse than the chart shows!

The people that are throwing eggs at the Tea Party Express now ... will probably someday be wearing a shirt that says IRS on the back ... just you watch!
