Ignoring History-The Media Ignores 9/12

For Gibb to say Obama didn't know about the 9/12 March proves they're terrified.  This goes beyond denial, it turns the Obama adminstration, and by extension the News Media and the Goebblist Press, into ancient Greeks; who killed the bearer of bad news.  It also means reality is pounding on the front door of the asylum to announce that their self-directed play time inside is over.  It's now time to face what they have unleashed.  The Goebblist Media will do their best to minimize what happend yesterday in Washington, by ignoring 500,000 to a 1,000,000 everday Americans marching on Washington and demanding to be heard*.  This all began with some people near the start of the year caling for Tea Parties across the country.  That was all it took.
 
The reason the Left thought they could get away with this monumental and systematic destruction of America was because they thought they could ignore the tax paying majority and impose a Communist dictatorship on us all; convinced we were cowed by political correctnes and liberal dribble and too afraid to respond in any substantial way.  They did not figure the dynamics of a free people to rise up against tyranny like our ancestors.  We are still Americans, not an easily seperated compound of differing, petty and contesting victim group whith hyphons before American.  We are Americans, we and America existed before the Federal government.  The Federal government had nothing to do with the founding of this country, they are only the lunatics in the asylum within the Washington beltway.  America was founded by rebelious Americans with liberty in their hearts, minds and lives.  We, their intellectual and economic descendents, needed only one more reminder of the growing threat of the Federal government to inspire us to action.  That one reminder is the present configuration in Washington, and we can change that in just over a year. 
 
Next week, there will be two more demonstrations.  One will be a three days of the people peacefully assembling, as they did yesterday in the capital, and peacefully petition the government again in the Values Conference.  The other will be when the lunatics street thugs will descend on and destroy my home city of Pittsburgh during the G-20 meetings and turn it into a pig pen like Woodstock. 
 
Will the demostrations in Pittsburgh descend into mindless rioting?  Judging by their track record in London and Seatle, it's very likely.  I will not be able to go to Washington next week, nor was I able to attend yesteday's rally on 9/12; but I ask those who have to work during those two days of G-20 in downtown Pittsburgh to take their cameras with them and record the antics of the lunatics in the street.  
 
I will see if I can get down there as well.  The city's plans for access to downtown are still not complete and I don't work in downtown Pittsburgh and may not be allowed in, unless I'm with a sanctioned group of leftists.  If I am, I might be wearing a Sears poncho, as apposed to a real poncho, to protect myself from the "Cosmic Debris" Frank Zappa warned us about.  But be warned, don't get too close, they will probably be using biological war and spraying human waste around and throwing stones. And don't get near Starbuck's, their idea of the center of evil capitalism in the world.  I told you they're loons.  Take pictures of them from the windows of your office buildings and post them on the web.  Show the world what we are up against and what we will defeat.
 
*P.S. It seems the estimates for the 9/12 event are actually larger than the first ones I heard about.  ABC (Always Been Communist according to a Rush caller I heard once) actually screwed up (but only for a moment) and reported the number was 1,500,000 people.  They later conformed to the 'tens of thousands" mantra/lie of the moment as set by the New York Times (more on their article later).  Now I hear it was closer to 2,000,000.  So, to put it into plain words, we are talking about more than two million people out of a country of three hundred and thirty million people.  It's comparable to or greater than the two million who showed up for Obama's coronation.  The times they are a changing.  That's five times as many as showed up for the Million Man March, or 400,000-a march Obama helped to organize as a community organizer.   Even at 1,000,000 it's more than twice the size of the Civil Rights March of 1963.  It was simply the people peacefully assembling to petition the government, not insame rioters.  It was certainly bigger than August of 1968.  More on that as well.  Again, thank you for your comments and your support.

Ex Post Facto This-They're Unconstitutional

To the AIG scape goats-sue the S.O.B.s!  You have a case against the House of Ill Repute and standing before the court for the passage by the House of unconstitutional ex post facto (after the fact) bills singling you out for confiscation of your bonuses in an act of attainder against you as private citizens.  They're violations of Article 1, section 9 of the Constitution, a violation of your civil rights by every Democrat member of the House who neither represent the Constitution or the people and their right to private property.
 
No one else in America is facing the same systematic theft of their income with these two bills, even though one is touted as less extreme.  Unconstitutional confiscation is still confiscation and it will come to all of us in time.  Why should you, as AIG employees whose bonuses were specifically protected under the TARP bill, be victimized?  How easy it is for them to plead ignorance and throw you under the bus for political expediency?  Why should you lay down and let yourselves become the scape goats for the avarice lies and overreaching capricious tactics of the entrenched fools in the House?  Why let yourselves be lectured to and threatened by the likes of Little Barney Fascist?  A bill of attainder confiscates the property and rights from an individual convicted of a crime, usually treason, according to the dicitionary feature on the Windows word processing system, so it's at least politically correct.  You have not committed treason, but most of the House have, by ignoring the Constitution.  So take them to court.
 
Do you really want to be controlled and dominated, on an ongoing basis, by so inept, unqualified and unstable a mob of polticians as the head of the House Finance Committee Little Barney Fascist and the head of the Judiciary Committee, Rep. Conyers?  Isn't Conyers the one Rush calls the Pit Yorky and doesn't he look like Lennin with hair?  What the hell do they know about finance?  About responsible management?  Sober and restrained judgement about anyone else's business?  Don't surrender to tyranny, rise up against it and sue the pompous S.O.B.s!  And while you're at it, sue Sen. Dodd, who included langauge specifically in the TARP bill to protect your bonuses and then hung you out to dry!
 
Millions for defense, not one penny in tribute!  That should be your motto.  You are the Obnoxious Individuals or minority foretold by Madison as victims of factions inherent in pure democracies in Federalist Paper 10.  That is why we have a republic, to protect private property.  And what is the ultimate form of private property except control of ourselves?  Now fight back.  Of course, if you're all liberal Democrat who voted for this tyranny, you have no one to blame but yourselves.
 
According to the AP News article today titled "House passes new, weaker bill in AIG Bonus flap," Democrat Rep. Alan Grayson from Florida, a co-sponsor of the bill, said "No one has the right to get rich off taxpayer money," and "No one should get rich off abject failure."  So why hasn't he and the rest of the Democrats in Congress been fired?  Conyers (D-Mich) had a more excessive bill in the offering which just failed to pass.  He wanted even more stringent penalties.  What compassion from the Marxist morons who started the whole economic meltdown.
 
For the rest of us, let us not forget this one point.  If they, the imbeciles in Congress, can do this to the richest and most powerful of us (private citizens) imagine what they are doing to the rest of us?  Who will be next to be victimized by this political fiction?  If we are all designated the next victims, we should become Madison's minority or Obnoxious Individuals and fight back instead of being scape goated.  You may ask, who was ever victimized by the whim of a pure democracy and had his rights and his life taken away from him?  Have you ever heard of Socrates?  It's time to stop arguing among ourselves and fight Miletus et al; for we will all hang together or hang seperately.

"Balls for the Senate!"

That's it!  We're geting rid of Specter.  Our slogan?  "Balls for the Senate!" because Specter has none, nor guts, nor common sense.  It's true Burke said for evil to occur it only needs for good men to do nothing; but Specter's only defense for his actions was to say we must do something.
 
Joining in the insanity is not an option, if you have any conservative convictions, Sen. Specter.  You should have stood up to something so politically expedient yet economically disastrous.  But of course you think of yourself as one of the best and the brightest.  You are simply an overeducated idiot; garbage in, garbage out.  That is the extent of your education and we're throwing the garbage out.  You have simply enraged we the people in your home state and lost your chance at re-election.  How are we going to acomplish such a coup?  We're voting you out in the primaries.  I know your retirement package will be substantial, even after you have contributed to the destruction of so many others' retirements.  You're going to need your retirement once we bounce you out of Washington, if there is any left after the full effects of the bill you just supported have crippled the American Economy.  If you had brains, you'd be dangerous, instead you're just pathetic.

Meet the New Boss, Same as the Old Boss

Just like the old song by The Who "Won't Get Fooled Again", we will not be fooled by the new administration.  But enough Americans were fooled with the promises of change.  So much for vague illusions spoon fed to the easily deceived.  The New Boss Obama and his minions are simply the minions and mental minnows of Old "Boss Tweed" Clinton.
 
So far, most of Obama's picks for his Administration of Change have turned out to be Clintonistas touting what Rush just today called the Bold Old Policies.  Even Hillary is now the Secretary of State (or Intestate) in the Regency of the Obama Era and only three heart beats away from the presidency.
 
I still believe the economic fallout of the new Regency and the equally tone deaf Democrat controlled Congress will be more akin to a second Carter Administration; with all its inherent economic melees.  Now, the economic follies will star the same cast of nefarious schmucks from the days of Bubba Clinton, called the Bald Old Retreads.
 
This may very well cause us to suffer under the worst of both possible worlds.  But wouldn't Voltaire have had a field day satirizing the presumptions of this cast of clowns?  So why shouldn't we do the same with economic and political commentary while having a blast as the cracks appear?  Personally, I'm looking forward to it.
 
All this can be summed up in a baseball analogy.  There is no joy in Mudville, the Mighty Barack has struck out.

The Stupid Congress and the Council of Clouds

Obama blew it on Friday, just as Napolean blew it before the Council of Clouds in the French Revolution.  In both cases, a supposed savior was presented with the chance to take over the government of a nation state.  Both failed to rise to the occassion. 
 
Napolean, as an artillery officer, had previously defended the Council of Clouds against a gathering mob in the streets of Paris threatening the struggling government of France with what he described as "A whiff of grapeshot" and dispersed the crowd.  The Council of Clouds were eventually willing to hand over the leadership of the government to "The Little Corporal".  All Napolean had to do was give one little speech, which he flubbed.   Not one to miss out on his opportunity and his moment of destiny, he led the first coup in history the next day and took over the government by force.
 
Obama, another megalomaniac, had his moment of greatness on Friday, after being primed and briefed, inside the White House, in the Cabinet Room.  But Obama, after promoting the liberal cause in the streets along with ACORN before mobs of protesors, while utilizing not a "Whiff of Grapeshot" but a continuous "Barrage of B.S.", was unable to deliver.  He pulled up lame and blew his chance, by blowing up the meeting, literally, and ruined the moment. 
 
The difference is, the coup did not come the next day, backed up with guns and grapeshot.  It almost came about today; through a vote in the House of Representatives.  It ended up short of the mark; for which I have to make this marked reveiw.  Even as a minority, the conservative Republicans in the House, along with the conservative majority of the electorate, were able to stop what seemed to be the inevitable.  The conservative House Republicans were not even needed to pass the legislation, and still the bill, or the bull failed.  The Stock Market then dropped over 700 points, proving even a whipped Pavlov dog will whimper in sympathize with its abusive master when denied a bone. 
 
Imagine what we can do if we were to win a clear conservative majority in the House and the Senate in November?  Even a thin majority in each house, though it would lead to stalemate, would at least remove Pavlov (sorry, Pelosi), Reid, Rangel and Frank from their leaderships on congressional committees or the speakership.   This is a representative republic, even idiots need to be represented and will continue to elect fellow idiots from their liberal districts or states to Congress.  The aforesaid lead morons in the Stupid Congress cannot be voted out of office, but they can lose their leadership, and be removed from thier own Councils of Clouds.  Keep up the good work through the November 4th election.  We do that by continuing to assail our congressmen and senators to listen to the people; at least those informed and knowledgeable about the difference between whiffs of clouds and real substance in the Congress and the White House Cabinet Room.

It's the Congress, Stupid III-Off by Fifty Miles

Sometimes, it's not the House or the Dems, it's the Senate Rinos you have to watch for signs of stupidity.  Leave it up to to the Rinos in the Senate to give it all up to the Democrats and prove themselves the unwitting fools of the Left. 
 
The bill the five Rinos, plus five Deomcrats, put together has no chance of becoming law because of a presidential veto.  It's just another useless gesture, like all those non-binding resolutions either house of Congress comes up with time to to time from their liberal majorities.  The main problem with this is its timing, just as conservative Republicans are continuing the present session of Congress in the House to force a vote on real oil drilling.  Talk about snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
 
The bill, as proposed, has one interesting component.  It will allow four coastal states to decide on drilling off their coasts.  That's a good start, it should be all coastal states.  But it also restricts any drilling within the first fifty miles of the continetal shelf.  Isn't this like the Dems saying; as they did with the leases in the Western States, when they said the oil companies can drill on millions of acres of land;, but only those containing little or no oil?  This will not include anything, like ANWR, that may actually have significant deposits of oil, like the nearby deposits around Barrow, Alaska. 
 
What will be the next empty consession be from the Left?  Maybe they will tell the oil companies they can drill all in and around Dallas so the oil companies can be like J.R. Ewing on the old TV series "Dallas".  This would be no concession.  The last time I saw a geological map of Texas showing oil and gas deposits, there were no oil or gas under Dallas, Ft. Worth or their surrounding counties.  There were deposits under Houston and along most of the Texas coast and off shore, however.  So, even if Texas is one of the four states allowed to drill on the continental shelf under this new law, they still could not drill in some of the most pormising areas. 
 
Idiotic concession like the ones I cited are akin to the old joke about going to a popular, fancy restaurant you have to make reservations well in advance; only to have the waiter come out and say "Here's your menus, kitchen's closed."
 
To the five idiots in the Senate in the latest consession to the left, all we can say is "Don't expect a tip, or a return to office."

Sen. Graham is Right. It's all Mental.

Dr. Graham, an Economist, is right, the whiners wrong.  The recession is only in some people's whiny little heads, not in reality.  We have not had two successive quarters of economic decline; simply two quarters of whiners in the news media and the resonating chants of woe from their chorus among the Losers of America.  In the real Ameica, misery and a recession from life are all in the mind of the enfeebled.
 
My life is not perfect; I live in Pittsburgh, needless to say.  Here, I am surrounded by our own whiny politicians, union members, over educated liberal academics and college students.  We even had a demonstration featuring at least three medical students from the Pitt School of Medicine carrying signs saying, in effect, health care over profits.  They are medical students in school on someone else's dime, so they can be self-deluded.  Wait till they have to pay the loans back under Obam's restrictive national healthcare system; then they'll whine, demanding the government, the very source of their problems, to bail them out.  We are suffering from an epidemic of complaints and a suspension of personal effort, backed up by what the deluded read or hear in the news.
 
Unemployment is at 5.5%, a state of Nirvana in the later Clinton years, brought about by a Republican Congress after the Democrats lost both houses because of the massive tax increases during Bubba's first two years,  Then, life was bliss, the President a compassionate visionary overseeing a new, inspired golden age in its ascendancy; while the Republicans cut taxes, spending and Welfare without notice or praise.  Conservative Economics, like the truth, are so boring to those too lazy to dream for themselves.  At the same time, these economic principles bring to others dreams that they try, no mater how slowly, to bring into reality; while they tell the govenment to go to hell.  The fallacy to the first group's top down Socailism is their failure to realize the people in government are exactly like them, with cushy jobs on the taxpayers' dole, who have every icentive to do nothing.  The bureaucrats only motivate themselves enough to whine and hope for a change.  They want even more power and money under the new visionary, Osama Obama.
 
This is the chorus of malcontents all the news stories are geared toward.  It's simply to keep them complaining and making the rest of us uncomfotible because of their insistent idiocy.  Congratualtions to Dr. Phil Graham for analyzing them and showing them to be a nation of whiners.  They are, after all is said and done, a vocal minority fouling their immediate surroundings within a much larger nation of hard working Ameircans.  They are also an endless trove for satire and debunking.  They sure keep me busy, aggravating them to the point of derision and hearing them complain.  That is why I'm marked in Pittsburgh (Pgh for short) as a Conservative and a Republican.  As a Republican, I would like to recommend Dr. Phil (Graham, that is) to be put on the short list for VP.  The two candidates are too ignorant of Economics, too busy whinig to mind the store and neither will last long in office.  We don't need whiners, we need a sound backup to these two economic dolts.

Counting the Ways

What has the Democrat dominated Congress achieved since taking over in the last year and half?  Let me count the ways.
 
1) Endless investigations of, and hearings against the Bush Administration, usually on things the Democrats brought about themselves.
 
2) The sub prime scandal was not created by capitalist greed, but by political correctness and Congress forcing lending institutions to lend to people who could not qualify for loans at artificially low rates.  When the borrowers defaulted on those loans, the Democrats screamed for more investigations, but certainly not of themselves.  Now they want to reward people who took those loans by baling them out and blaming the loaning institutions.  No wonder the lenders are giving such good loan deals to Demagogs in Congress.  
 
3) Drilling the oil companines in kangaroo court-like hearings.  This culminated in Maxi Chavez (Maxine Waters) proposing socilaizing the oil companie.  This is an excellent way to destroy the oil industry, as nationalized oil businesses in Mexico and Venezuela can attest.  Congress, like the leaders of those countires, can still blame all the resulting problems as being wrought by the oil companies before the takeovers.
 
4)  The pronouncement by someone on the left "All we have to do is grow more corn," was taken up by the Democrats without any knowledge of Economics.  There is only a finite amount of ariable land to grow crops on, and with more being put into corn cultivation for ethonol have decreased the production of other grains and food stocks.  The decreased production of wheat and rice, have driven up their prices, along with the price of corn from increased demand from ethonal.  How bad can ethanol be as a drain on food production?  It takes around 400 lbs. of corn, enough to feed a person for a year in the Third World, to destill enough ethanol to treat gasoline for a single tank full.  Why should those among us, who think they are entitled to everything and are at the same time above the laws they force on us; be at all concerned about the unforeseen ramifications of their actions?  Tell your favorite liberals the next time they fill up their SUV they have just killed someone in the Third World and watch them squirm, then explode into anger.  It's a lot of fun.
 
5) Democrats in Congress have raised the minimum wage, with no consideration for its two step effect on the economy.  Wages of those close to the minimum wage have to be increased, along with those at minimum wages, to keep these marginally higher paid individuals above the new minmum.  Wages of much higher paid, unionized hourly wage earners, are automatically increased because of pay clauses in union contracts so union workers will continue to make so many dollars and cents (which makes no sence) above minimum wage.  The increased labor costs naturally decrease the number of those hired for minimum wage because the return on the investment in increased production provided by minimum workers will be negligible.  The result from the first increase in the wage has already taken effect, as poor workers at minimum have been laid off and high school and college students just out of school for the summer find fewer jobs available.  This is already reflected in the .5% increase in unemployment to 5.5%.  One always preceeds the other.  We have a second increase in wages coming along from Congress in the near future with the second raise.  The government, either at the state or Federal level, should never have anything to do with setting the minimum wage, because their motivations are always political expediency, not Economics.  All we have to do is look at what happened in Argentina under President Peron and his socialist Peronists.  All the Peronists had to do was increase the minimum wage over and over to placate their poor supporters and give them the illusion of higher wages.  But the money was of less and less value, while the government printed more and more of it.  This resulted in hyperinflation and a collapse of the Argentinian economy, all as the ultimate price of government power.  Congress can make us all millionaires, by putting $1,000,000 a year as the minmum wage, printing more money to pay for it and cause inflaiton rates as high as those in Germany and Hungary in the 1920s and those seen today in Mugabe's Zimbabwe. 
 
These are only a few of the most absurd achievements of the new Democrat dominated Congress, a dominance predicted to only get bigger after November 5.  No wonder the sign of the Democrat party is the jackass.
