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!

ALTHOUGH A DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC FORM OF GOVERNMENT IS PREFERABLE TO PURE MOB RULE DEMOCRACY, STATISTS (TECHNICALLY CORPORATISTS) EXIST IN BOTH POLITICAL PARTIES. IT JUST SO HAPPENS THAT THE THREE TITULAR HEADS OF THE CURRENT EXECUTIVE AND LEGISLATIVE BRANCHES (OBAMA, PELOSI, AND REED) ARE VIRULENT STATISTS ... AND THEY HAPPEN TO OCCUPY THE LEFT. HAD McCAIN OBTAINED THE WHITEHOUSE, WE PROBABLY WOULD HAVE EXPERIENCED ONLY A SOFTER AND GENTLER TYRANNY. IN AN ODD WAY, AN OBAMA PRESIDENCY WAS A NECESSARY SLAP IN THE FACE ... THE KIND THAT WAKES ONE UP OUT OF THE APATHETIC STUPOR.

ALTHOUGH IT SEEMS IRONIC THAT, IN "MY PLEA," I FERVENTLY REJECTED THE PROSPECT OF AN OBAMA PRESIDENCY, I WAS DELUSIONAL TO THINK THAT THE "LESSER OF TWO EVILS" WAS SOMEHOW ACCEPTABLE. I FELL FOR THE PERFECT SUBTLE FABIAN SCENARIO. INSTEAD OF QUESTIONING THE WHOLE ISSUE OF STATISM, I WAS QUESTIONING TO WHAT DEGREE STATISM IS ACCEPTABLE. SHAME ON ME!

I"M ACTUALLY A GOOD BIT SALTY THAT McCAIN WAS ABLE TO BUY HIMSELF A PRIMARY VICTORY. HE MADE AN ABOUT FACE AWAY FROM HIS STANDARD POSITION OF IMMIGRATION APPEASEMENT. AFTER BEING PRO AMNESTY FOR SO LONG, HE NOW PRETENDS TO BE AN IMMIGRATION HAWK. NOW HE SAYS "BUILD THE DAMN FENCE" JUST TO HOLD ON TO HIS POWER. THIS MAKES ME WANT EXPECTORATE MR. McCAIN.

I WAS ALSO TICKED OFF THAT "W" NEVER LIFTED UP THE VETO PEN ... AS THE REPUBLICANS IN CONGRESS WERE SPENDING HOG WILD.

WHILE I HAVE SPENT A GOOD DEAL OF TIME ON THIS BLOG BASHING OBAMA, I WILL TRY TO RE-DIRECT MY FOCUS IN THE FUTURE TO FIGHTING STATISTS REGARDLESS OF WHICH SLIMY ROCK THEY CRAWL OUT FROM UNDER .... BE IT THE ONE ON THE LEFT BANK OF STREAM OR THE ONE ON RIGHT BANK OF THE STREAM

My Plea

click here for easy to read version

On Monday November 3, the day before the election of 2008, I wrote a letter to one of my best friends. It was my plea to him to reject the leftist agenda of Barack Obama. I am posting this for the public record.

___________________

My Friend:

I know it’s a little funny to hear Mr. McCain say “my friends” all the time. You have chided me a bit about it over the last few months. I hope I have taken your ribbing with good humor. He is not the smoothest guy around. I know he likes to hold up his “air quotes”. That’s a little goofy too, I know. I’ll be honest. He hasn’t run a great campaign either. I know you were a Hillary guy. I was more of a Thompson guy. But I’m going to vote for John McCain anyway on Tuesday. I know that you have expressed a preference for Obama. As a fellow red blooded American, I respect your decision. I would never want to lose a great friend over a political issue. This happened to my grandfather and a good friend of his back in the 1930’s. It was an issue and a grudge that they took to their graves. I won’t live like that. You will be my friend no matter what happens this Tuesday.

I think that we became friends because we shared certain core values. It is on that basis that I would like to make a heartfelt plea for you to re-consider your vote.

I know you are an investor and belong to a small investment club. You know me as someone with a strong entrepreneurial streak. We have both made it known to each other that we would like to start our own businesses in the future. So let’s just talk business for a second. Let’s take away the emotion and the “cult of personality.” You know, as an investor, that the goal of a publicly traded company is to produce a product or service in an efficient manner, make a reasonable profit on that product or service, and provide a reasonable return to the everyday people who invest in that company. I would venture to say that your investment club does not look to buy stock in companies that are consistently losing money. There are many costs that a corporation must bear on the way to that profit. There are raw material costs, labor costs, distribution costs, and a host of others. Of course taxation is also one of those costs.

On Halloween day (of all days) Barack Obama, citing the news that Exxon had earned record profits again (22.6 billion), said this to the swooning crowd, “THAT’S YOUR MONEY!” Everyone cheered. I guess everyone at the Obama rally were shareholders in Exxon! … Oh They were not? They were just the general public? Oh, I see. Obama conveniently left out the fact that Exxon also paid out a record in taxes as well (61.7 billion!). They paid out more than two and a half times their net profit in taxes. According to Investor’s Business Daily, “ExxonMobil will pay more taxes this year to the U.S. Treasury than the bottom 50% of all taxpayers – combined.” That is a staggering fact. So let me get this straight. According to Barack Obama, not only do the taxes that Exxon paid belong to the general public, the profits Exxon made also belong to the general public? Outrageous! That is a Halloween story that should scare everyone. The only thing missing is the campfire and smores!

There is nothing more disturbing than the bandit that smiles and speaks softly as he inserts the knife. You think I’m being a bit dramatic. But truly, it isn’t so much socialism I’m fearful of (we have already shamefully leaned toward it); It is the incubation of autocracy that gives me the jitters. With the help of a complicit and possibly filibuster proof congress, Obama represents a veto pen that will never see his fingerprints! This triumvirate of unchecked power will result in an America that would be unrecognizable to the founding fathers. America became the engine of innovation and progress in the world because of the rugged individuals that risked their blood and poured out their sweat to create a better life.

Of course there are a litany of other reasons to say no to Obama.

We already have the second highest capital gains tax in the world. Obama wants to raise it. We have a problem with outsourcing now. If this tax is raised, companies will simply shutter the doors or move to another country altogether. Could you imagine if Coca Cola pulled up its tent stakes and decided to move its headquarter to Ireland (low capital gains taxes there)? Atlanta would be devastated!

He has promised to bring the military into the twenty first century. This means he will essentially weaken it and dismantle our nuclear deterrent. All this as the newly emboldened Russia sends ships to Cuba and Iran defies the world in its race toward the bomb. Obama dreams of a world free of nuclear weapons … How is that for naivete? He and many in congress falsely believe that only the economically disadvantaged volunteer for military service. Out of “fairness” he will likely re-instate the draft or some quasi-military form of community service.

On David Letterman, Obama said that the “Navy Seals are an “elite team” of special forces.” He then added, “We need “elite people” running the government.” What did he mean by that, “a specialist?” What happened to “of the people, by the people, and for the people?”

His radical associations are undeniable. These radical Marxists didn’t just stumble upon him. He sought them out! Don’t deceive yourself. Bill Ayers dedicated his book “Prairie Fire” to political prisoners and named Sirhan Sirhan as one of them. This is the man that assassinated Robert Kennedy! Appalling! I know you were for Hillary. I think that anyone who supported the far more moderate Democrat in the primaries should think about that for a minute before they pull that lever on Tuesday. His association with a former spokesman for the PLO is also very troubling. He spent twenty years listening to a radical America hating preacher. Yet he claims he did not hear those hateful words. He never heard those hateful words, yet in these final days it sounds like he learned the Reverend’s style of preaching. He’s lying, of course. Can we please save the religious fervor for the church?

His middle class tax cut is a hoax (more like an outright lie). Early in his campaign he said you were safe if you made less than $250,000 per year. Then it was $200,000. Then Biden (currently residing in the panic room with a gag in has mouth) spouts out $150,000. For the Obama infomercial it was back to $200,000. Then surrogate Bill Richardson comes up with $120,000. What gives? The message here is that the number is arbitrary. The powers that be will decide whether or not you are “rich.” As wealth gets destroyed under an Obama administration, the definition of “rich” will get lower and lower.

I believe that history tends to repeat itself. Let’s look back at the Great Depression and its primary cause. Most people believe that the stock market crash of 1929 caused the Great Depression. Wrong! The economy was actually recovering a good bit after the crash. The Great Depression really began in late 1931 when Hoover raised the tax rate on people making over $100,000 per year from 20% to 55%. Back then the dollar bought a lot more. Today it would probably take a million dollars to buy the same amount of goods. People that owned businesses simply shuttered them up. “I’m taking my ball home. I don’t want to play anymore.” Let’s not let history repeat.

Then, of course, there is Joe the Plumber. He makes a legitimate point; Obama lets his guard down and reveals his true ideals. What happens next? This everyday American gets impromptu background checks from government computers. There was outrage about the government listening in on international phone calls in the name of national security. Where is the outrage now? Is this going to be the method of operation for an Obama administration? Then we have one of the few media members that refused to drink the Kool-Aid and asked Joe Biden some tough questions. Now that very same media outlet has been cut off from access to the Obama campaign. I guess they won’t be asking any more tough questions about the “dear leader.” Further, the LA Times is suppressing a videotape of Obama’s interactions at a party with the former PLO spokesman Rashid Khalidi. Protecting sources? How about releasing a transcript? Every Jewish voter should take note.

He broke his promise to stick to public campaign financing. This allowed him to take in millions (some from questionable sources) and make a run at buying the election.

His connections to ACORN are undeniable. There are widespread allegations of voter fraud against this organization. He worked closely with this organization and represented them in a lawsuit some years ago.

His connections to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are also there. These institutions force-fed easy money to banks in the name of social and economic justice. And Wall Street feasted as well. Now we are supposed to believe that the arsonists should be in charge of putting out the fire. Pathetic! You can’t argue this point. I watched hours of congressional testimony on the irresponsible oversight of these institutions and calls from the present administration to revamp and regulate these two monsters. Why isn’t the media interviewing John Snow?

Obama will likely sign a bill into law (The Employee Free Choice Act H.R. 800 is currently under consideration in congress) that will remove the ability of an employee to keep secret his preference for or against unionization in the workplace. Union leaders will know who wants a union and who doesn’t. No secret ballot! Can you say “knuckle sandwich” out back by the Dumpster?

He will likely roll back your legal right to own a gun. He will probably save that one for later or choose the “slow erosion” of rights technique. Nevertheless, this will leave the illegal guns in the hands of the thugs. Not good.

Finally, Obama believes that the constitution is a document of negative rights. He wants to change that. He says that the constitution expresses what the government cannot do to you. He wants to change that and spell out what the government must do for you.

When you put all this together, it is the duty of every sane individual to say no to the radical leftist agenda of Barack Obama.

That is my plea.

Your friend always,

Jeff

P.S. When the bloom falls off the rose, you are left with the thorns.

Update: The “Creepy” factor is starting to kick in hard. I live in the Cleveland Area. I just watched Mr.“Senator Government” pontificating on TV. He looked preachy and autocratic. He only smiled with glibness, in response to his own well turned phrase. He had to egg on the crowd when they didn’t quite seem to cheer loud enough. The crowd got louder, but only in that “yeah!!!, yeah!!, yeah!? … I think I’m excited, but I’m feeling some doubt in the pit of my stomach.” The masses are starting to scratch their heads. He tried to hide the fact that he had to look at a crib note to remember the names of Bruce Springsteen’s family members. I wasn’t put off that he had to read the names, It’s the fact that he tried to appear that he wasn’t reading. The real Obama is tipping his hand. McCain really needs to hit Obama hard on the Exxon record tax and his comment that, “It’s your money.” Even if he didn’t mean it in the confiscatory fashion, it is still not their money. It’s money that they traded for a product.
