We have a war that is going sour, our Justice Department has become the Department of Social Injustice run by a radical racist who refuses to prosecute Blacks and minorities, the federal government refuses to secure the border and welcomes illegal aliens to gut our states’ welfare entitlements and denies local law enforcement the right to prosecute illegal aliens, Obama’s administration is riddled with tax cheats and criminals who get an ongoing free pass for felonies that would put the common man in prison, and an energy policy that has our adversaries laughing their asses off, our citizens are lucky to buy a job and our president need more illegal aliens to get reelected and we are facing ruinous debt and massive tax increases. And now we have our teleprompter reading president, who was ordained by a corrupt Main Stream Media as the most intelligent man to ever hold the office and who was supposed to find the solutions to all our problems and bring this country together, is facing a midterm election and dismal polls; so in desperation, he decides to campaign to try and recapture the White soccer moms who voted him into office by sitting with women and posing like a woman with his legs crossed even tighter than the thinnest woman on the set. Using his most effeminate mannerisms and charm he hopes to tap into the frustrated psyche of the white middle-aged female and tickle their subliminal libido, to keep from being humiliated by losing majorities in both houses.

The Left’s defense for the behavior of the Journolistas is that it is just media types pooling their ideas; true enough, unfortunately, their ‘ideas’ were propaganda and lies that swayed an electorate so that the United States now has to endure its first Socialist Racist President.  

Unlike Duranty, who held Communism in contempt at least privately, but was willing to sell out his personal integrity to assuage his hedonism and promotion of Duranty by playing up to the mass murderer Joseph Stalin and The New York Times.  Consequently, FDR was deluded by men like Durant and the Soviet Agents, like Alger Hiss that had infiltrated his confidence and advised him with advice that has influenced and endangered the United States to this day.

Therein is the rub or treason; of course, a Socialist will always retort that the “Ends Justify The Means” and that lies or propaganda is doing the United States a ‘collective good’ and therefore they are more than justified in their lies to promote the cause of Socialism against the hard headed people who actually believe that the Constitution contains the secrets of our exceptionalism  and success.  Thus theirs is the “Good Fight” and presenting propaganda and lies as news is justified; to a Socialist this is logic and therefore acceptable; unfortunately, the non-Socialist is left feeling bewildered and confused.  With sincerity he asks, “When did the news stop becoming the news and evolve into being merely a subliminal political message?”

It’s time for right thinking patriots to support the RNC and Senate and House campaign committees!

Opening the Mike’s America fundraiser that keeps yours truly on the job, I released my list of the top ten (well, really eleven) GOP Senate candidates worthy of your financial support in our bid to retake the U.S. Senate in 2010. You are encouraged to donate directly to their campaigns. Soon, I’ll be publishing a list of key House races necessary for us to retake control of the House of Representatives and boot Nancy Pelosi out of the Speaker’s Chair.

Some people feel more comfortable in contributing directly to campaigns, and independent efforts like mine, than to the Republican National Committee and it’s sister campaign organizations the National Republican Congressional Campaign and the National Republican Senatorial Committee. Over the past few years those organizations have had some spectacular missteps that have alienated some donors.

But we must put all that behind us if we hope to win big in November. It’s great to contribute directly to candidates. They are the key players on our team. But let’s not forget the coaches. Without them, there is no overall coordination of the effort and we all know that a team made up of only quarterbacks all throwing the ball in different directions is not the way to win.

It’s time to put aside our past differences with the GOP committees. I can count on one hand the number of major flubs they have had over the past years and still have fingers left over. However, the ongoing contributions they have made the past 18 months or so have been instrumental in helping us move forward in presenting a solid front opposing Obama and the Dems overreach.

As a blogger, I can tell you that I count on research from the RNC and related committees to help me inform readers about the key issues of the day. The online video ads put out by these organizations have been an invaluable part of the message we need to counter Obama.

November Starts NOW!

Yesterday, the RNC launched a new online initiative called November Starts Now. The header of this new web page states:

Barack Obama’s presidency has been a disaster. He is either unwilling to or incapable of doing his job. The economy is in shambles, the government is failing, and Americans are losing hope. Barack Obama was not ready to be President. He’s not the solution. You are.

You have the opportunity to turn our economy, our government, and our country around by electing Republicans and restoring your voice in Washington. But to win this fall, we must start today. It’s up to you to save your country. Are you ready? Because November starts now.

Are you ready to accept the challenge or will you sit on the sidelines?

Journolist just keeps getting better and better. This time there is evidence that members pushed others to advocate for one party….again. Before the Obama/McCain debates:

The single biggest thing journolist can do is to lay the analytical framework within the media elite necessary for an actual Obama debate win to be viewed as such by a sufficient proportion of media elites that voters know it was a win.

Of course, this only works if Obama does as we expect (and McCain is a terrible debater, btw).

But even Gore’s uneven Debate 1 performance in 2000 was deemed a win initially by a viewership that was demographically to the right of the electorate (lower minority viewership in 2000 of debates, more male, more GOP, etc…)… but Bush was winning on several media narratives and thus got the benefit from the intense 72 hours of post-debate coverage.

In the conversation that followed Hauser’s post, not one Journolister expressed surprise or disapproval. No one rebuked Hauser for telling journalists how to carry water for a politician. Despite the group’s supposedly “very strict” ban on political operatives and explicit partisan coordination, Hauser remained a member of Journolist for almost two more years.

Hell, one staffer of Obama’s sent a message to the list telling them all to be more loyal to The One: Read the rest of this entry »

Immediately after the oil began to flow in the Gulf in April, I felt some anger toward BP and Tony Hayward. But now, I feel badly for both. I am now sympathetic towards them. I think both have gotten terrible treatment at the hands of Barack Obama and the US government. And this is emblematic of Obama’s attitude toward business.

When you read the words Obama and the Democrats have uttered, you’d think that BP intentionally created the accident. A search for “Obama criticizes BP” brings 11,900,000 hits. Obama criticized Hayward for going boating with his son and then promptly traipsed off to the golf course. Obama pointed his finger at the the executives from BP, Transocean and Halliburton and said they should not be engaged in “finger pointing.”

This spill was absolutely the last thing that Hayward or BP wanted, but you’d never know it.

Meanwhile, clean-up crews are having a difficult locating the spilled oil: Read the rest of this entry »

Minerals from the rare earth mine at Thor Lake in Canada

President Obama is anxious to get us off oil and embrace alternative energy while creating millions of new jobs, the millions of new jobs are a joke; however, the true ramifications of ending our relationship with oil and switching over to alternative energy will leave us more vulnerable to foreign powers than we were with oil.

From Obama’s Organizing for America website:

America can be the clean energy leader by harnessing the power of alternative and renewable energy, ending our addiction to foreign oil, addressing the global climate crisis, and creating millions of new jobs that can’t be shipped overseas.

The Clinton appointee Judge has blocked certain sections of the Arizona law from going into effect until they can be heard through the courts:

A federal judge on Wednesday blocked the most controversial parts of Arizona’s immigration law from taking effect, delivering a last-minute victory to opponents of the crackdown.

The overall law will still take effect Thursday, but without the provisions that angered opponents — including sections that required officers to check a person’s immigration status while enforcing other laws.

The judge also put on hold parts of the law that required immigrants to carry their papers at all times, and made it illegal for undocumented workers to solicit employment in public places.

U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton ruled that the controversial sections should be put on hold until the courts resolve the issues.

This President has said for months that jobs and the economy are his number one priorities. ObamaCare has demonstrated his sincerity… just not in the way we might think. While American shores are littered with the carcasses of millions of octopi who sacrificed their lives so that their ink might be used to expound upon the disaster that is ahead, one of the most damaging elements of ObamaCare doesn’t have anything to do with healthcare in the first place. It really belongs amongst the 2,300 pages of economic malpractice known as Dodd-Frank. We are of course talking about Section 9006.

What is Section 9006? It is nothing less than a bullet aimed at the foot of the American economy as it competes in the race out of our economic malaise. Up until ObamaCare, businesses were required to provide 1099’s (the miscellaneous income form from the IRS) to individuals who provided them with services (via an other than employee relationship) if the total amount spent was in excess of $600. As such, consultants, freelancers and temporary help are often paid for their services this way. It keeps companies from having to collect and track taxes for short term relationships and it lets individuals who may deal with numerous clients during the year handle their own taxes.

Unfortunately, thanks to Section 9006 of ObamaCare the Dr. Jekyll 1099 we’ve all come to know and love is going to become the Mr. Hyde 1099 that will cause many businessmen to head for the exits. Beginning in 2012, 30 million businesses in the United States will have to begin issuing 1099s as if they were Internet diploma mills sending out bachelor degrees. In addition to everyone they already are required to issue 1099s to, ObamaCare will require them to issue 1099s to every single entity with which they do in excess of $600 in business in the calendar year. Buy a computer at Best Buy? Issue them a 1099. Buy 5 cases of $12 wine from Vinnie’s Wine shop? Issue them a 1099. Pay PG&E $100 a month for electricity? Issue them a 1099. Large companies with internal accounting staffs will be able to add another desk in the department to handle the extra work. Small businesses don’t have that luxury. Read the rest of this entry »

A few weeks ago Fareed Zakaria (who aspires to see a Post-American world) wrote an article noting that US companies are not hiring while they are sitting on $1.8 trillion on their balance sheets.

The Federal Reserve recently reported that America’s 500 largest nonfinancial companies have accumulated an astonishing $1.8 trillion of cash on their balance sheets. By any calculation (for example, as a percentage of assets), this is higher than it has been in almost half a century. Yet most corporations are not spending this money on new plants, equipment or workers.

But then Zakaria puts his ignorance of economics to work

Were they to loosen their purse strings, hundreds of billions of dollars would start pouring through the economy. These investments would probably have greater effect and staying power than a government stimulus.

That’s true, but loosen the purse strings to do what? Hire employees? To do what? Where’s the demand for the products those workers will make? Read the rest of this entry »

A Department of Revenue spokesman said Kerry would be liable for Massachusetts taxes if he berthed the boat in the Bay State within six months of its purchase. If the Isabel were brought to Massachusetts after that period, the state would have to decide if it wanted to pursue the taxes.

Massachusetts, like most other states, has been grappling with plunging tax revenues. Last year’s budget deficit was $600 million, and officials are bracing for a $1 billion deficit this year.

The Republicans of Massachusetts spoke out meekly to criticize Kerry’s cost saving measures. Read the rest of this entry »

Sarah Palin was dismissed as a light weight and Islamophobe. They can’t say the same about Newt!

In my posts (here, here) objecting to the building of a mosque near the site of Ground Zero in New York set to open on the 10th anniversary of the attacks by radical Islam, I hardly mentioned the significance of the name “Cordoba House” which the mosque builders proposed for this 13 story mega mosque.

The name did not escape the notice of Newt Gingrich:

Newt Gingrich Statement on the Proposed “Cordoba House” Mosque near Ground Zero
July 21, 2010 6pm

There should be no mosque near Ground Zero in New York so long as there are no churches or synagogues in Saudi Arabia. The time for double standards that allow Islamists to behave aggressively toward us while they demand our weakness and submission is over.

The proposed “Cordoba House” overlooking the World Trade Center site – where a group of jihadists killed over 3000 Americans and destroyed one of our most famous landmarks – is a test of the timidity, passivity and historic ignorance of American elites. For example, most of them don’t understand that “Cordoba House” is a deliberately insulting term. It refers to Cordoba, Spain – the capital of Muslim conquerors who symbolized their victory over the Christian Spaniards by transforming a church there into the world’s third-largest mosque complex.

Darren Goode posted an article at The Hill titled

Dean calls Fox News ‘absolutely racist’ for aiding Sherrod ouster

But the following details prove the opposite (and the title was doltish).

Former Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean accused Fox News of promoting racism, including in the recent fracas over the Obama administration’s forced resignation of Agriculture Department official Shirley Sherrod.

“Let’s just be blunt about this … I think Fox News did something that was absolutely racist,” Dean charged on “Fox News Sunday.”

Chris Wallace then hands Dean his ass:

But host Chris Wallace shot back, “I know facts are inconvenient things, but let’s deal with the facts.” They include that Fox News did not play the clip or mention her name before the Obama administration forced Sherrod on Monday to step down, he said.

Goode, if you’re reading this, your title should have been Read the rest of this entry »
