...but I TOLD YOU SO, DUMOCRATS!!!!
My mother was filled with good old-fashioned common sense; the kind that only comes from being raised by parents with the same kind of common sense and a lifetime of opportunities to use it and see how well it works!
She once said,"If everyone else is jumping off a bridge, that doesn't make it a smart thing to do, does it?"
Well, DOES IT, DUMOCRATS?
How many throats got slit this past Tuesday because you idiots got strong-armed by the queen of idiots, Nancy Pelosi? What ever happened to "no thank you, Madame Speaker. I'm doing just fine listening to my constituents and voting the way THEY want me to vote. Take your stupid socialist agenda and sell it to some other rube; it doesn't play very well in my district!"? If only a few more week-kneed spineless Dumocrat back-roomers had simply followed that simple advice, they'd still be employed today!
D-U-M-B-O-C-R-A-T-S-!-!-!-!-!
The only sad part of the whole thing is that the King of Idiots, Harry Reid, managed to convince enough of the deceased and criminally insane in Nevada to re-elect HIM. What are they smoking out there? So, Reid gets to keep his position as Senate Majority Leader only to face the largest conservative mandate EVER! Don't they know he was an idiot before and now he's a POWERLESS idiot?
Almost sounds like the kind of people that would invest long green in worthless desert property so they can be close to legalized prostitution and profligate spending on gambling!
Oh.....never mind!
Here's what's next. Congress may not be able to gut health care with Obama on the throne, but they don't have to fund it, either. Congress has the power of the purse, so don't be surprised if they send budgets to the WH that have no FUNDING for the whole health care fiasco and then don't be double surprised when Obama refuses to sign them or outright vetoes them.
Let's start the lay-offs with the 10,000 new IRS agents you hired to enforce you new health care taxes!
MORON!!!!

Well, tomorrow's the day!
Long time, no see, blogfan!
WWWAAAAAYYYYY back in March, I predicted that the Democratic Party would sing it's swan song in November because of the VERY troubling manner in which the Health Care reform legislation was jammed down our collective throats.
Tommorow's the day!
MDB and I voted early, but that's not to say that readers here shouldn't get out and do their civic duty as well! If you haven't yet voted, GET OUT AND DO IT!!!
Maybe a little humble pie is just what the doctor ordered for Nobraina and the rest of the Dumocrats who foisted this monstosity on us!
He probably won't listen because he hasn't heard anything we've said YET, but he won't be able to do anything about it anymore, either!
Let's just pray that enough people who vote in senate races around the country are smart enough to vote out their Dumocrat incumbents as well!
So long, Dumocrats! It was NOT nice knowing you!

We need to outlaw FOOD!!!!
Hello again, blogfan!
The ridiculousness just keeps getting more and more absurd, so much so that words scarcely even begin to touch the ridiculousness of it all!
To wit; NAACP vs the Tea Party Movement!
According to the resolution, the NAACP has officially condemned the Tea Party movement as racist. They've done so regardless of the fact that such an allegation had already been raised and a reward of $100,000 posted to whoever could find credible evidence of ANY racism associated with the Tea Party! None of which has been forthcoming, no less!
On Sean Hannity's show the other day, a spokesman for the NAACP admitted that no evidence was available. However, according to the spokesman, movements LIKE the Tea Party movement (i.e., conservative movements) had been racist in the past and therefore the Tea Party presented a venue for potential racism and THEREFORE must be opposed!
Uhhhhh........WHAT?!?!
Let's see....according to that logic, we must outlaw the following as well then:
1. Air. Breathing air contains the potential for future lung cancer, so we must all stop breathing immediately!
2. Food. Eating contains the potential for gluttony, obesity, heart disease, high blood pressure, etc., so we must all stop eating RIGHT NOW!!!
3. Work. We must outlaw work because work causes stress and stress causes all of the above!
4. Thought. People who think eventually reach the unavoidable conclusion that the NAACP is an antiquated irrelevant institution that is NOT concerned with racism UNLESS that racism is white on black racism. Any institution that was legitimate and relevant would denounce the "kill all the Crackers and kill their babies" smack from the new Black Panthers and then support their prosecution by the Federal Justice Department; actions and positions, mind you, that have NOT been taken by either the NAACP or Attorney General Holder. We must, therefore, outlaw THOUGHT since any thinking person comes to the inescapable conclusion that the NAACP is ridiculous!
Let's see; NAACP. That stands for National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, right? How long has it been since it was PC to refer to people whose family tree began in Africa as "Colored?" I mean, we've gone through about 4 progressions since "colored" haven't we? We did "negro" and then "colored," right? Maybe it was the other way around, I don't remember. In any case, one or the other was followed by "black" and eventually by "African-American." Frankly, I don't think any of those labels is better than any other; we won't be where we need to be until we are all simply "American" and any other distinction is simply irrelevant. I mean, wasn't it MLK's dream that one day we would only be judged by the content of our character and NOT the color of our skin? Who, I ask you, continues to point to the color of skin as a prerequisite for judgement?
When you answer THAT question, you'll know who's racist and who's not!
In any case, the NAACP is exactly what it says it is; an organization who's sole purpose is to advance the cause of African-Americans, whether that cause is legitimate, illegitimate; just or unjust. Personally, the NAACP might actually have some merit if it denounced racism of ANY stripe, but it refuses to do so, much to it's own discredit!
Well, that's about it for now. Obama's approval rating is dropping right along the lines I said it would after that socialized medicine program passed! Stay tunes as conservatives take this country back in November!

Marketing Idea of the Week
Last week's idea, the self-destructing piggy bank for federal debt relief, went nowhere.
This week's idea: a bumper sticker that says "...screw up the country in less than a year!"
For posting below all of those "Yes We Can!" bumper stickers with Obama's image blazoned across them, of course!

Who even THINKS of this?
Okay, I admit it; I nearly soiled myself when I read this article! I mean, who even IMAGINES something like this?
For those of you who are too lazy to pull up the article, here's the synopsis; A man at a Phillies game (where ELSE?!?!), apparently upset that his crude, rude, and socially unacceptable "partner" was removed from the game for spitting at, spilling beer on, and cursing at (expletives NOT deleted!) an off-duty police officer and his daughters, forced himself to vomit on the man and his children!
Uhhh.....VOMIT?!?!
That's pretty inventive, huh? I mean, who says to himself "uhh...here's a good idea! I'll spend a hunny or two at the ballpark slamming beers and hot dogs (believe me, if you pulled up the article and got a load of this guy, you KNOW he was slamming beers and dogs!), then I'll tick off an off-duty Policeman and THEN I'll V-O-M-I-T on his family! Done! GREAT plan!!!"
Uhhh.....WHAT?
Is it something in the water, Philly? Was the embarrassment suffered by your "partner" not enough? Didn't your "lucky ship" already come in when the cop didn't bust your skull and play the "I'm a cop" card to get off with a slap on the back and a chuckle?
What kind of idiot comes up with a "to do" list like this?
Buy overalls check!
Polish the ElCamino check!
Pick up a case of PBR to warm up check!
Drive to the stadium (gotta get Adam Dunn's autograph!) check!
Eat a couple of (pounds of) sloppy dogs check!
Drink another 15 beers check!
Get obnoxious with cop
a. spit
b. cuss
c. spill beer check!
Get belligerent when "partner" gets ejected check!
Vomit on cop and family check!!!!!!
Spend night in jail check!
Oh my gosh! This world truly is going to hell in a handbasket! Sheesh!

RIP, Democratic Party
Well, in a vote of 219 to 212, the Democratic Party just signed it's own death warrant. Mark my words; not a single Democrat who voted for this leap into Socialism will be re-elected in November.
I'll grant you; the Republicans have no one to blame but themselves. Since they took control of the House in '94, all they did was attempt to "out-Democrat" the Dems, much to their own chagrin and eventual demise.
Now, however, at this critical time in our fiscal history as a nation, the Dems have chosen to sign us up for another trillion or so of debt.
We can't afford it!
Great job, Dumocrats! I hope there's something left to pick up after the general in November!

Churchill was right!
Churchill said (and I paraphrase) "If you're not liberal as a youth, then you have no heart; if you're not conservative when you're older, then you have no brain!"
How many brainless youths do we have in Congress, anyway?
It seems that the endless cadre of idiots in Congress are going to yield to White House pressure and vote for this idiotic health care reform legislation DESPITE overwhelming public opinion against it and despite election results that would make anyone not named Kennedy quiver! Voting for this thing is electoral suicide, but Obama seems to have convinced them otherwise.
He's a one-term wonder (well...they DO call people with an IQ of 60 "exceptional" these days, don't they?) and anyone who votes with him on this is doomed much earlier than that!
What's worse is the VERY troubling news coming from the financial sector! People who are much wiser and more informed than I on such matters are predicting that if we don't get a handle on our deficit and STOP borrowing to pay for all of this garbage, we are in SEVERE danger of losing our AAA credit rating as a nation! If we lose our triple A rating, it's all over, folks! The dollar will be practically worthless and nothing that has no intrinsic value (gold, silver, manufactured goods, food, etc) will have any value whatsoever! We're talking a financial meltdown that would make the Great Depression look like a cakewalk! Yet, despite the dire warnings of those in the know, Nero Obama keeps fiddling and doing everything he can to ruin this nation.
People, wake up!
That apple in the Garden looked pretty good, too, but the serpent offering it up KNEW what taking it meant to Eve!
Don't take that apple, America! There's no free lunch and our nation can't afford to buy lunch for the rest of the world AND our own Ne're-do-wells here at home any more!
Here's what needs to happen to restore faith in our economy:
1. Eliminate (over several years, of course) any program of our government that is not mandated by the Constitution. The examples are endless, but Space, Education, Welfare, Public Housing, the Arts, Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are a few of the programs that come to mind. Sorry, Grandma! We can't afford it anymore! (Oh, and I don't want to hear all of your whining right about now, either! I have over $200,000 in Social Security that I would never see but, with all of the fiscal mismanagement in Washington, I really don't EXPECT to ever see it anyway!). Look, I know that there will be a HUGE uproar about the whole Social Security thing. The whole thing is going to come crashing down in a couple of years anyway, but here's how you fix it. As the debt is being paid off (see #5 below), make payments to people as part of paying off the debt for whatever they're owed. After all, the government borrowed THAT money as well, so it can be paid BACK just as the other creditors are being paid back! Oh, and I know what comes next. "Space?! You can't let all of those people go just like that!" Really? If there's a market for it (and I've been led to believe that there IS a market for the things that have been generated by the Space Program), then those folks will have jobs; mark my word!
2. Change hiring/firing guidelines for Federal employment YESTERDAY!!! A government job is not supposed to be a lifelong entitlement, but that's exactly what it's become! When someone's job becomes obsolete or superfluous, offer them retraining. If they refuse, fire them! That's what would happen in a private sector job! That's what needs to happen in public employment as well!
3. Completely eliminate the IRS and replace it with a simple government accounting office. Eliminate our unGodly tax code and make everyone pay a flat 10% of their income. Period! Yes, all corporations, businesses, and individuals. Period!
4. Make it ILLEGAL for the government to borrow money to pay for anything. If the money is not in the treasury, it can't be spent.
Look, when I get overextended, I have to tighten my belt and say "no" to things I might like to have. I might have to make an old car last a little longer. I may have to live with hamburger instead of steak. I might even have to sew up the holes in my socks instead of buying new ones, all in the name of saving money so I can pay off my debt. Now is the time to do that on a national level! We cannot afford to continue borrowing and spending money that we don't have! We have to tighten our belt, STOP borrowing our children's money, and pay for what's already been spent!
When the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, we worked together as a nation to fight a common enemy. With national resolve, we worked together to defeat them and we came out on the other side bloodied, but victorious! We can and we MUST do it again! Only, this time, our common enemy is an attitude, not a nation. We have become lazy and slothful as a nation. We have come to believe that we are entitled to things that we have not earned; that we have coming to us those things that politicians promised but could not deliver! We must come to realize that "the Great Society" was the pipe dream of a clever politician who knew that he'd be long gone before that check ever came due! We must know that the "New Deal" was never new and it was never a deal, not for Americans then, and not for us now! We must wake up before it's too late, because it is very nearly too late RIGHT NOW!
5. Start paying down the national debt. Oh, and I don't mean start paying on the interest. If we don't start working on the principle, the interest is going to eat up all of the GDP is less than 5 years! I mean pay the interest AND make a substantial payment on the principle and do that each year until it's all paid off. Then, when we're debt free, we can start thinking about what we'd like to do with the money in the treasury that's been going towards the debt. We may even be able to lower tax rates at that point! Woo-hoo! ME keeping MY money!? What a concept!
6. Let market forces do what they do! If a car company has been mismanaged, LET it go out of business! If people stop riding passenger trains, LET them go out of business! Believe me, if there's a demand for commuter rail sometime in the future, some enterprising entrepreneur will finance their come-back and do it much more efficiently than Uncle Sam ever did!
7. Enact term limits for every public office. Congress was never supposed to be a career! Civic-minded people who care about their country were to go to Washington for a limited time to work for the public good! The Federal government was supposed to do ONLY what was granted to it by our Constitution and EVERYTHING ELSE that was not SPECIFICALLY granted to the federal government was supposed to be taken care of by the states. They managed to work around that by taking money in taxes from the people and then giving that money back to the states but ONLY if they work within the boundaries of whatever social framework was deemed appropriate by the Fed. THAT, my friends, is unConstitutional and the whole practice needs to be abolished YESTERDAY!
8. Allow people to save for their own retirements! Since we're doing away with Social Security, people need incentive to save on their own! Let them save as much as they're able BEFORE taxes are taken out. In other words, whatever they save will reduce their taxable income. Let them put it into whatever vehicle they choose. Let employers match employee contributions to reduce THEIR taxable income as well! It's a win-win and now the government is completely out of the social engineering business! Woo-hoo!
9. Make it a criminal offense to live here illegally. Oh...nevermind! It already IS a crime to live here illegally! So, here' how to do it. If someone is caught trying to live here illegally, return them to their country of origin (well, take them to their nation's Consulate and let that nation foot the bill for their return!). If they're caught here a second time, put them in prison for 5 years and then return them to their nation's Consulate. If they come back after that, put them in prison for life! Obviously, after three times, they're too stupid to do anything here that's legal anyway and, last time I checked, "illegal" meant AGAINST THE LAW!!!! If they have family here and that's why they want to live here; fine! Go through the proper channels, become a resident alien and then become a naturalized citizen of the country. What's so hard about that?
Well, it's a start, but it's certainly not the end of it. As I said, the first thing that needs to change is attitude. As soon as we realize that the emperor's naked, we'll be on the road to recovery!
