It Makes Sense To Me

A narcisistic sociopath who intends to do whatever he wants to do without regard to the wishes and desires of society at large. Socialism is a failed system everywhere it has been tried and America is not yet Socialist. But it will be if he gets his way.

Obama’s $100 Million Cut

President the Budget Cutter

Today, President Obama called for $100 million in budget cuts. Out of a $4 trillion in spending this year, this is the rounding error of a rounding error:
· It is 1/40,000 of the federal budget;
· It is 1/7,830 the size of the recent “stimulus” bill;
· It would close 1/1,845 of this year’s budget deficit;
· It is the amount the federal government spends every 13 minutes; and
· For a family earning $40,000 annually, it is the equivalent of cutting $1 from their family budget.

Here We Go Again

Maybe...

The environmentalists won one of their constant nuisance court cases yesterday. Basically shutting down or at least delaying for some years the development of oil exploration on the Outer Continental Shelf. This is not good news for America, but good news for America is real hard to come by these days, unless your a liberal fascist socialist. Since I work for the exploration department of a "Big Oil" company in Alaska this is especially bad news for me and my coworkers . We just survived a layoff. However I was personally warned that there were no guarantees. More layoffs might come if the economic and political situation doesn't improve. Add this court rulings negative impact to Alaska oil exploration on top of the almost inconceivable liberal fascist socialist attempts of our President to destroy capitalist America and remake it in the image of the Soviet Union and I think it safe to say the economic and political situation is not improving.

Depression, both personal and in national economics is not a pretty thing.

Fascism - A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, stringent socioeconomic controls, suppression of the opposition through terror and censorship, and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism.

Point 1 - Racism: Remember the President's Minister, Rev. Jeremiah Wright

Point 2 - Suppression of the opposition through terror and censorship:

Trying to remove the secret ballot from union elections with "Card Check."

Attempts to silence conservative talk radio by bringing up the "Fairness Doctrine" again.

The Department of Homeland security suggesting that to be right wing, to believe in states rights, be opposed to the current administrations policies, to be supportive of the First Amendment, to have served in Iraq or Afghanistan makes you a possible terrorist. As someone wrote recently, I guess 5 of the US Supreme Court Justices should turn themselves in.

"Change We Can Believe In"

Keep the Change

"Last week’s health-care summit made clear that, as far as the president is concerned, the question is not whether the U.S. will enact universal coverage but how. When Obama gets it enacted, most historians will revere him as the president who finally dragged barbaric Americans into the modern world. But some may note that the Obama system worsened results for the sick and killed the promising genomic industry, in which the U.S. currently enjoys a world-wide lead. These are the inevitable results of the Obama administration’s push for a statist health-insurance market that contains an underpriced Medicare as an option. The phony pricing for Medicare will draw vast numbers of enrollees, over 100 million in one estimate, and create a virtual single-payer health-insurance system. This system would control costs by rationing health care to the sick, especially when it comes to powerful, expensive new drugs. The U.K., for example, ranks last among the biggest economies in Europe in its uptake of cancer drugs and has the dreadful survival rates to prove it. If the U.S., which is by far the largest market for such drugs and the largest source of capital for their development, becomes a single-payer system, we can kiss this industry good-bye."

Kate's Birthday

Kate would have been 54 today.

I still have a job. I met with my manager on Tuesday, and for now, I'm not being laid off. Obviously he couldn't make any long range promises since the economy is in the toilet and the Socialist Democrats in power seemed determined to flush it away in their rush to convert America into a Socialist Nanny State. Even if I managed to hold on to my job until my intended retirement date, the President and the Congress may have put us so far in debt that no one in the middle class for the next 3 or 4 generations will be able to afford to retire. And if you could retire, with socialized medicine you'll be too sick to enjoy it because liberal government bureaucrats without Medical Degrees will decide what treatment your Doctor can prescribe for you while you wait years for routine surgery performed by overworked and under paid government doctors. Just like the Soviet Union of yesterday and England today. The poor Canadians will no longer have the option to come to the U.S. for surgery because the waiting times and quality of care won't be any better here than they have in the Great White North today. Of course none of these changes will effect the Democrats in power. Just like the Communists in the U.S.S.R., the leaders had the best medical treatment available. There was none of that standing in line and waiting for treatment for the dictators at the top. The Liberal Democrats in Washington today are no different than the Communists in China, Hugo Chavez in Venezuela, the Castro brothers in Cuba or the Soviets of the old U.S.S.R. But this is "Change We Can Believe In!"
To paraphase a bumper sticker...
"I'll take freedom, a tax cut, smaller government, capitalism and my First and Second Amendment Rights - You keep The Change!"
