Those DAMNED obstructionist Republicans!!!

Posted by: The BoBo  //  Category: Congress, Democrats, Obama, Politics, Republicans, government

This is going to be a very short and simple post because I’m getting tired of seeing Democrat political hacks in this administration blaming “obstructionist” Republicans from preventing Obama from getting his agenda items passed.  I am no way a Republican supporter – I am not a registered Republican.  However, I think the record needs to be set straight.  We’ll let the facts speak for themselves:

Number of Total Senators = 100

Number of Democrat Senators = 58

Number of Republican Senators= 40

Number of Independent Senators = 2 (Both caucus with Democrats).

Number of votes needed to pass ANY legislation = 51

Can someone please tell me how the Republicans are obstructing anything?  Even with Scott Brown coming in – that will give the Republicans 41 votes and the Democrats 57 (not including the Independents).  The Republicans could not mount any kind of defense of any freakin bill.  So – how exactly is it that the Republicans are blocking passage of any bills in the Senate?

Total Number of Representatives in The House – 435

Total Number of Democrat Representatives = 256

Total Number of Republican Representatives – 178

Total Number of Independent Representatives = 0

There is currently 1 vacant seat.

Number of votes needed to pass ANY Legislation (51%) = 222

Again – even in the House – they have 34 more people than is required to pass legislation.  Again, the Republicans don’t have enough to mount a defense against any bill.

Between the House and The Senate – They are both controlled by a large enough majority that any bill written could be passed without a single Republican vote.  The Republicans can essentially stay at home for all of 2010 and twiddle their thumbs.  They had no power in 2009 – the have no power in 2010.  All Scott Brown will do now is enable the Republicans to mount a filibuster.  That just means that Harry Reid can no longer shut down debate whenever he feels like it.  You need 60 votes to shut down debate.  Filibusters eventually end – and – in the end – the Democrats will still have enough votes on their own without Republicans to pass whatever the hell they want.

Before you moonbats on the left start declaring Republicans as “The Party of No” and “obstructionists” I suggest you look to the Democratic party itself.  The only one’s obstructing Obama’s agenda are Democrats.  The reason they keep looking to the Republicans and blaming them is because the Democrats don’t want to be the only one’s caught holding the bag when this house of cards coming falling down.  They want to be able to point at the Republicans and say “They voted for it too!”  The Democrats own every piece of legislation passed in this country since 2007.  They and they alone are responsible for the total destruction of this economy because of their policies.  They and they alone have the majority vote without Republicans.

You see – we’re awake now – and – we know who is to blame.  Sure, Republicans are scumbags too – that’s why they are no longer in power – but – now we see who the BIGGEST scumbags are – progressive democrats that hate this country and the individual liberty and freedom it affords us.  Democrats and Obama own this mess.  Stop blaming Bush and the Republicans – they haven’t been able to mount any kind of defense in the last 4 years.

The BoBo Carnival of Politics – January 31, 2010 Edition

Posted by: The BoBo  //  Category: BoBo, Carnival, Conservative, Liberals, Politics, Republicans, blogs, government, libertarian

Hi All – and welcome to yet another great carnival.  Back home now from a quick mini-vacation over in the land of Mickey.  I’m more tired now than I was before I left.  Maybe I need to stop taking vacations. :)

Anyway – just wanted to let you all know – given that next Sunday is Super Bowl Sunday – there will not be a carnival next week. The next edition comes out the following week – Sunday, February 14, 2010 – The Valentine’s Day Edition!  I doubt if there will be too much love in the political world that day!


Conservative

Scott Spiegel presents Bernanke: Too Big Not to Fail posted at Scott Spiegel.

I was disappointed that he was reconfirmed.  This man knew very well what was coming down the pike.  He is a so-called “scholar” of the Great Depression.  He had to see the signs – yet – he raised the interest rates immediately after taking over and that is when the housing bubble burst.  I believe he intentionally set things in motion knowing exactly what would happen.  The Fed and the politicians cause these problems so they can come in and act like they are the saviors knowing full well their harmful policies is what caused the messes in the first place.  We need to get rid of the fed altogether.  Great post as always Scott.  I think those so-called “experts” you pointed out are scared of losing their power, positions, and money so they are continuing to prop this guy up.  He needs to fail just as much as our financial system needed to fail.  Let free-market capitalism work and lets reset the economy the way it is supposed to be.  All these idiots keep doing is delaying the inevitable – and – when it does all come crashing down – it will hurt we the middle-class and poor even moreso than if they would have just let it fail in the beginning.

Liberal

Madeleine Begun Kane presents Ode To Odious Corporate Personhood posted at Mad Kane’s Political Madness.

I know many of you guys on the left didn’t read the full decision – but – it did not reverse any of the laws that prevent corporations from influencing politics directly.  It only reversed the decision that prevents the 507’s  from placing political ads 30 days before elections.  All the other protections are still in place.  No one had any problem with Soros, Moore, and MoveOn.org from placing ads and showing movies before elections – they just had a problem with conservative groups doing it.

Banquet Manager presents Restaurant Refused To Give Man a Toothpick! posted at So You Want To Be a Banquet Manager….

Good Lord – that is just plain ridiculous.  Unfortunately, we’re seeing some of that kind of idiocy creeping over here in the U.S. as well.  Seems common sense just does not prevail any longer when it comes to nanny state politicians.

Madeleine Begun Kane presents Ode To Weak-Kneed Democrats posted at Mad Kane’s Political Madness.

It appears as though you are wanting the remaining Dems left to commit political suicide.  The message sent from MA was very clear – the majority of this country is not left leaning and we don’t agree with this administration’s progressive agenda.  We want less government – not more.  I hope there are Dems who get what you wish – it would mean the demise of this dangerous progessive movement we have now.

Libertarian

Super Saver presents A Personal Finance Perspective on the U.S. Budget posted at My Wealth Builder, saying, “I’m not used to working with billions and trillions of dollars. When I scaled down the U.S. budget to an individual’s level, the problems became more clear, especially why the Obama spending freeze won’t really help.”

Good visual.  I would like to put it in to further perspective if you don’t mind – the REAL national debt is $70 Trillion plus.  The spending freeze is just $15 Billion.  The freeze represents just 0.0002 of the total debt.  So, out of $10,000 I decide not to spend $2 out of that and somehow that is supposed to make things better?  Idiocy if you ask me.  The good thing is that more and more people are really beginning to pay attention to these things and are doing the math for themselves and are coming to the realization that our government, politicians, and so-called leaders are all idiots and aren’t looking out for this country at all.

News

Jared Rhoads presents Hopping onto the Brownwagon posted at The Lucidicus Project, saying, “Republicans and Democrats both want to ride the populist wave fueled in part by Scott Brown’s victory in Massachusetts. Can independents finally make it clear that they are for limited government?”

Absolutely right on target! That’s okay – let those idiot political elites continue to keep their heads in the sand – they won’t see it coming when We The People take our country back.

Archvillain presents The More Things Change ? posted at A Dark and Sinister Force for Good, saying, “Anything not mandatory is prohibited. Anything not prohibited is mandatory. Check your free will and thoughts at the door.”

That is just plain ludicrous.  I was an avid D&D player throughout my teens and continued to play a little through college.  As you pointed out – it is very creative, requires critical thinking, and it is very stimulating.  In fact, when I saw that one of my sons was developing a creative and artistic streak – I got him in to D&D rather than buy him video games.  Those idiots in Wisconsin (and the Moral Majority) are idiots.  Thanks for continuing to keep us all informed on these issues.

Joel presents Nazis in Longmont posted at NGOmeter.

I’m in full agreement – the First Amendment does protect their speech as much as it does ours.  Personally, I think we need to let them speak more and adopt more highways to get their message out there – it will help drive down their membership.

Aaron Rogier presents The Hard Reform posted at Aaron Rogier, saying, “There’s talk in the news about bringing back some of the restrictions Glass-Steagall placed on financial firms. Here’s a consideration of the effect these types of restriction may have for market stability.”

Aaron – great education piece there.  I’m familiar with GLB – but – hadn’t realized that was what actually repealed Glass-Steagall.  I believe your observations are absolutely correct.  I think we would still be in this mess partly due to Fannie & Freddie plus the CRA – but – I don’t believe it would have been has bad had those corporations not been allowed to create the derivatives and securities and sell them as they did.  Hope to see more from ya here.

Silicon Valley Blogger presents Heard of Stimulus Grants? Scams Abound posted at The Digerati Life, saying, “Are people still falling for stimulus grant scams? Apparently the answer is yes. So here are some things to watch out for.”

Thanks for the public service message here.  I keep hearing about these so-called “credit bailout” programs also that says people can be “bailed out” of their credit cards.  That too is another one of those scams.  I’ve also seen a few ads on TV stating Obama wants to help people save their mortgages through these stimulus grants.  Unfortunately, without education pieces like yours – there are going to be a lot of people are already hurting get taken to the cleaners ensuring they will lose their homes and dignity.

The Smarter Wallet presents Big Business Lowers Consumer Prices Due To Recession posted at The Smarter Wallet, saying, “The slowdown in the economy is causing big business to make adjustments.”

Any business that wants to stay in business during these times will absolutely need to reduce prices if they want to keep the consumers rolling in.  They will need to tighten their belts just as the consumers have to do the same thing to keep their households in tact.  I’m glad to see some out there are doing just that.  However, companies like Toys R Us that are only doing it for 1 month are going to find out it is not enough.

Politics

smrtas1 presents White House Clueless Over Scott Brown Win in Massachusetts posted at Conservative Patriot HQ.

You nailed that one on the head.  I believe there is a second revolution going on in this country and the White House has buried their heads in the sand.  As you pointed out – they are indeed clueless – not only with the Scott Brown win – but – with the mood of the country overall.

Wenchypoo presents This Just In: These Are Supposed to Be Social Security Fixes? posted at Wisdom From Wenchypoo’s Mental Wastebasket.

Why is it that Liberals and Progressives think that the solution to fixing broken programs is to spend more and put the system in to more debt?  Those solutions would serve one purpose – to bankrupt SS once and for all.  Personally, I think the best solution is to just shut it down altogether.

Silence Dogood presents On the Subject of Anarchism posted at Anarchy Reigns: Original Controversy.

Welcome to the Carnival Silence.  Looking forward to the remainder of the series.  There is another anarchist blogger out there that I follow as well (I won’t post a link here so as not to take away your spot light here) – but – I have found that I actually agree with some of the anarchist ideology.  Some of it is a little too far left for me – but – I like the libertarian, small government, aspects of it.  Great start so far.  I think starting off with debunking some of the myths is a good way to get it going.

Brian Jay Stanley presents The Unlegislative Branch posted at Aphorisms and Paradoxes.

Ha – good one.

Republicans

Franklin presents Pincer! posted at Most Are Occupied but Some Are Milling About, saying, “Playing politics with Democrats is so easy.”

Welcome to the Carnival, Franklin.  First – nope – don’t see the picture you stated you placed in the post.  As for the first part of your post – I would have to say I still disagree with the government taxing the banks that paid back their TARP funds.  Could you help us out and show us where the Dems have stated that the “fee” would be tax deductible?  If it is tax deductible it actually defeats the purpose of the “fee.”  As for the second part of your post – I agree with all of it.  The Republicans need to get back to core fiscal conservative policies and help get this country back up and running.  If they ever want to have a majority again – they need to go back to their roots of what put them in control in the first place.  You make great points there and could prove to be winners if the GOP ever decides to be conservative again.

That concludes this edition. Submit your blog article to the next edition of The BoBo Carnival of Politics using our carnival submission form. Past posts and future hosts can be found on our blog carnival index page.

Obama does in 1 year what took Bush 8 years to accomplish!

Posted by: The BoBo  //  Category: A Nation at Risk, America, Obama, P-BO, government

When Bush entered office in 2001 – the national “on-the-books” public debt was $5.7 Trillion (don’t buy in to that bogus lie that Clinton left a surplus – we were still in debt).  When he left in 2009 – the national “on-the-books” public debt was $10.0 Trillion. The Bush administration pumped up spending and the national debt by $4.3 Trillion!!

So – Obama comes in with a $10.0 Trillion national debt – as of today – those figures stand at:

Figures on government spending and debt (last six digits are eliminated). The
government's fiscal year runs Oct. 1 through Sept. 30.
Total public debt subject to limit Jan. 22		12,245,872
Statutory debt limit					12,394,000
Total public debt outstanding Jan. 22			12,302,465
Operating balance Jan. 22				   142,454
Interest fiscal year 2009				   383,365
Interest fiscal year 2008				   451,154
Deficit fiscal year 2009				 1,417,121
Deficit fiscal year 2008				   454,798
Receipts fiscal year 2009				 2,104,613
Receipts fiscal year 2008				 2,523,642
Outlays fiscal year 2009				 3,521,734
Outlays fiscal year 2008				 2,978,440
Gold assets in September				    11,041

Yup – $12.3 Trillion – AND – They are raising the debt ceiling by another $1.9 Trillion – that money is already spent – that’s why they need to raise the ceiling.  Obama – in one year – has increased the national debt by $4.2 Trillion!!  It took Bush – 8 freakin’ years to spend this economy in to dangerous territory.  Obama has taken only 1 year to spend the same amount that will no doubt bankrupt America.

Take a close look at those numbers up there.  Total Revenue in 2009 is $2.1 Trillion.  The national debt (as reported up there) is 6x our total revenues – and will be 7x our total revenue once they raise the ceiling.  This is totally unsustainable.  The fact of the matter is – our REAL national debt is (as of May 2009) is $70 Trillion.  That is 35x our total revenues.  No telling at this point how high that number actually is today.  It hasn’t been published anywhere yet.

Whether you are on the left, right, or middle of the political spectrum – you have to wake up and realize this is unsustainable and our country is headed for a real nightmare.  There are more foreign countries who own American land and public debt than there are American owners now.  Our crooked politicians have mortgaged our country to foreigners – and – no doubt – they will be sending in the collectors soon.

I know you guys on the left love this country and the freedoms it affords you – but – you must beg your government to stop spending now and shut off the spigot.  They need to reduce the size of government immediately and start shutting down entire departments and wasteful entitlement programs that are already unconstitutional.  If Obama can do this in just one year – what do you think he can accomplish with 3 more years?  A total destruction of this country and our economy.

I’m calling on all Americans to come out November and vote out all of the incumbents and let’s begin the reset of our government.  Then – let’s do it again in 2012 and finally rid our government of all those corrupt power-hungry politicians that care only for themselves.  We need a total reset of our government with new, fresh blood, consisting of representatives who will do the right thing, listen to we the people, and take very practical and pragmatic steps to reduce the size of government and stop the idiotic spending we have going on now. We are in a world of hurt if we the people don’t take action now and take our country back.

P-BO Makes George Bush Look Like a Mensa Genius

Posted by: The BoBo  //  Category: America, Congress, Conservative, Democrats, Elections, Idiots, Liberals, P-BO, Politics, government

Did anybody else catch the Stephanopolous interview with Obama?  Here’s what P-BO said with regards to the Scott Brown win:

“Here’s my assessment of not just the vote in Massachusetts, but the mood around the country: the same thing that swept Scott Brown into office swept me into office…People are angry and they are frustrated. Not just because of what’s happened in the last year or two years, but what’s happened over the last eight years.”

WTF, man?  Is P-BO really that much of an idiot or is he just in complete denial – or could it be both?  He seriously is blaming anger for Bush for the massive voter turn out to the Republican.  How does that even make sense?  Does he really think voters and the American people are that stupid?

“Hey, Frank.  You know what?  I’m so pissed off that the Republicans screwed up this country over the past 8 years that I’m gonna show them – I’m going to vote another Republican back in so the Democrats can’t control Congress any more – duh her!”

Either Obama is the most inept individual who ever sat in that seat – or – he’s just so blinded and focused on his agenda and this hate Bush message that he can’t see America for what it really is and for the massive revolt that is happening.  I know the Liberals hate to admit it – but – Congress has been in control of the direction of this economy since 2007.  This economy was actually doing quite well when the Republicans were in the majority.  There were some very serious warning signs and every Republican from Bush, to McCain, to Boehner, and on and on were trying several times to warn Congress and the people that trouble was brewing in Fannie and Freddy.  It was Barney Franks and Chris Dodd who refused to open up the books and reform Fannie and Freddy stating everything is fine there.  Republicans were standing on the mountain tops yelling that the CRA and Fannie and Freddie will cause an economic turndown if it wasn’t fixed.  The warning signs were there and the Democrats did absolutely nothing.  The Democrats were in control when this economy melted down.  The liberal policies that they pushed over the last 2 years is what caused this mess.  The power hungry mindset of the Democrats and the refusal to listen to the other side is what caused this mess.  Obama was part of that problem.  Obama too refused to allow a complete investigation of Fannie and Freddy.  Perhaps that’s because Gaine’s is one of his closest friends and allies.  The Democrats and their idiotic anti-capitalist liberal policies is what caused this economic collapse – and – we the people know the truth.  We know it isn’t Bush’s fault.  We know you Democrats caused it by not addressing the issue.  Rather, you continued to cover up the problem.  Obama – hear me now – we are not angry over the last 8 years – we are angry over the last 2 years – and especially after the last 1 year with out of control spending and increased debt.

Somehow, he honestly has to believe that the reason why the Independents voted for Brown was because they thought Obama hasn’t done enough, meaning, he’s going to continue to push forward with his radical agenda to “fundamentally transform this country.”  According to this latest article – that is exactly what he intends to do.  Apparently, he didn’t get the message – and – apparently, America didn’t shout it loud enough in Massachusetts!  We’re going to have to make damned sure in November that there is no way he can misread that message.  We need to send THEM ALL packing.  Every Democrat – Every Liberal RINO – Every politician who has ever voted against the American people – they all need to go.

Just a real quick refresher for those of you that truly do not understand how government works – the POTUS does not write the bills.  The POTUS does not create the budgets.  The POTUS does not control the nation’s treasury.  Congress controls all of that.  The POTUS signs off or vetoes the bills.  All he can do is ask Congress to do one or all of the above – but – he has no control as to what is actually written and presented to him for his signature.  His only control is to approve or deny.  So – the blame for this mess lies squarely with Congress – not Bush.  Congress in the last years never did a thing to send a bill or allow an investigation as Bush asked.  Don’t blame Bush because the Dems in control failed to act as requested by Republicans and Bush.

The BoBo Carnival of Politics – January 17, 2009 Edition

Posted by: The BoBo  //  Category: BoBo, Carnival, Conservative, Harry Reid, Liberals, P-BO, Politics, Religion, blogs, government, libertarian

Hi All – welcome to another great edition.  Before we get started – I recently learned that a high school buddy of mine was trapped and survived a building collapse in Haiti.  I just wanted to give a public shout-out to Lt. Col. John Christopher Thomas and say – thanks for your service – and glad you’re a live buddy!  While were on the subject – Haiti and the people are in some very serious trouble right now.  If you can’t volunteer your time or talents – please make a donation to help them out. Now – on with the show!


Conservative

Scott Spiegel presents Reid to African Americans: “I Come Too Far From Where I Started From” posted at Scott Spiegel.

I’m with you on this – Democrats have definitely manipulated the black community for political gain and power.  See the post before this one.  Great analysis.

Liberal

Madeleine Begun Kane presents Al-Qaeda Talking Points? posted at Mad Kane’s Political Madness.

Not really sure where you’re going with this one.  Those individuals you pointed out spoke the truth about the failures of the administration to keep the people safe.  That could have turned out much worse had the bomb actually detonated.  Just out of curiosity – what were you saying when Reid said “The war is lost?”  What about when Durbin called our marines baby killers?  What about when Kerry said our soldiers were terrorizing citizens in the middle of the night?  What about when Obama said our military was bombing villages indiscriminately?  Those were truly statements that undermined our military, our national security, and helped to truly bolster Al-Qaeda.  I think in this instance you are trying to make a case where there isn’t one.

Libertarian

Wenchypoo presents D-I-Y Economic Reform–Starving the Evil Piggies posted at Wisdom From Wenchypoo’s Mental Wastebasket, saying, “Probably more in line with “money” carnivals, but it does contain some political talk in there.”

Wenchy – no problem – it does loosely fit with politics given today’s economy.  These are all good pointers.  My family has tightened the belt as well.  Given your list – it appears there is more we can do.

Miscellaneous

Steven and Debra presents Government False-flag Operations and Operation Northwoods posted at The END TIMES Hoax, saying, “Could our very own government be the enemy?”

That was indeed a very interesting read.  However, you failed to put it in context – JFK never signed off on Operation Northwoods.  You have to remember, this was just one of many potential strategies put forth to deal with the Cuba problem.  Everything is on the table during war planning.  It is then up to the President to decide what actions the military should take.

Steve Parry presents Racism In American Politics posted at The Axis, saying, “It’s about time we fight back on this.”

Great post, Steve.  One of the very first blog posts I wrote was about the hypocrisy of the Democrats regarding racism.  It was their party that started the KKK.  My most recent post points out how they use and enslave blacks just as they did when they were slave masters – only now they use social policies and laws instead of chains.  The good thing is that they have overplayed the race card and no one is buying it any longer – except for those really hard left libtards who believe anything coming from another liberal’s mouth.

News

SVB presents Can A Home Loan Modification Ruin Your Credit? posted at The Digerati Life, saying, “How one person is dealing with a home loan modification, given the credit crunch and the possibility of losing a home.”

Some great information to consider.  I personally don’t care about my FICO score.  At one time I did – but not now. With the exception of one credit card – we paid them all off and closed them.  Essentially, the only credit debt we have is our house, the one card, and a leased vehicle.  We pay for everything with cash now.  If we can’t pay for it with case – we can’t afford it.  Once the lease is up on the SUV – we’re buying a used one with cash.  I know not everyone is in the same position as I am and may not have the resources available right now – but – lowering debt by any means (not including not paying your bills) is always a good option and a loan modification shouldn’t be ruled out just because it might hurt your credit score.  That can always be fixed later.  Ten years ago I had a FICO score of 450 because of my divorce and previous marriage.  Since my divorce I have done a lot of repair and built my credit up.  I hit 780 two years ago and have been consistent ever since.  It has fluctuated as we paid off our debt and closed our accounts.  It’s odd how having money in the bank and little to no debt changes your FICO score. Maybe that’s a good topic for one of your next posts.

Politics

Super Saver presents Holding Congressional Leaders Accountable posted at My Wealth Builder, saying, “Here’s a change I’d like to see happen.”

AMEN!  We used to be able to hold our representatives and senators accountable before they put in the 17th Amendment.  Prior to 1913 – Senators were appointed by the Governor and were subject to recall whenever the people felt the Senators were not acting on behalf of the people of that state.  The 17th Amendment changed all that – that also marked the beginning of the progressive era in the U.S.  I say we need to repeal the 17th Amendment.

Ann Margrain presents Road to Terrorism posted at Heroin and Cornflakes, saying, ““Terrorism is the greatest threat of the 21st century”, a phrase often uttered by our leading politicians. But does this statement hold true?”

WOW!  I don’t know whether to laugh or be offended.  You use terrorism and the horrors of 9/11 as a lead-in to car safety?  I’m not real sure how to take that.  What you presented with regards to roads, car safety, and transport tubes is very informational.  I just think it loses its value when you lead in with something not even closely correlated.

Joe Garecht presents How to Get Elected Even if Nobody Knows You posted at Local Victory – Your Guide to Winning Elections, saying, “This recent article gives tips on how candidates can get elected, even if they are starting from square one, without name recognition.”

Those all great pointers.  Very similar to getting recognized as a blogger in the blogosphere.

DWSUWF presents Scott Brown in Massachusetts: Hope or Delusion? posted at Divided We Stand United We Fall, saying, “Obama is stumping for Coakley using the same old”Change” mantra – exactly as if the last year never happened. Does he really have so little respect for Massachusetts voters that he thinks he can just repeat the same empty campaign slogans of a year ago? I mean – we now know what “change” means. It means two massive blowout omnibus spending bills with a combined 14,000 earmarks. It means a trillion dollar “stimulus” bill that didn’t stimulate anything, was written by the House of Representatives and was predominantly a vehicle to funnel money to Democratic districts. It means a trillion dollar Health Care “reform” bill that was written by big pharma, big insurance, and big union lobbyists and does not go into full effect until 2019 when it still will not cover 28 million Americans. It means a massive escalation of the War in Afghanistan. I guess if that is the kind of “change” Massachusetts wants, they should vote for a rubber stamp like Coakley.”

Let’s hope you have a lot of readers in Massachusetts and gets the whole DWSUWF point you are trying to make.  While Brown is not what I would call a real conservative – the fact of the matter is that he is at least fiscally conservative and is on the right side of the issues.  If anything – we need him to be there just to break that supermajority.  Who’s to say though that once he gets in there that given his moderate leaning he wouldn’t vote with the Dems on other issues?   Either way – let’s hope he wins so we can break the morale of the Dems and get rid of that horrendous health care bill.  I realize you submitted this before the weekend – but – did you hear that Coakley said in a radio interview that Curt Schilling is a Yankee’s fan?  LMAO – I think that alone may have just cost her the election regardless of what potential, of at all, bump P-BO could give her.  She just offended the entire state with that comment.

Diana Hall presents Jesus killed my political apathy posted at damascusmoments.

Welcome to the world of politics.  Given this day and age, I believe everyone should be passionately engaged in politics.  It is because of our global apathy towards politics that we allowed politicians to ruin our lives and the global community as a whole.  Politicians are supposed to be servants of the people and they have by nature now become self-serving and corrupt.  Jesus knew this.  We should have all heeded his actions and remained engaged.

smrtas1 presents Obama Proposes New Financial Crisis Responsibility Fee posted at Conservative Patriot HQ.

You’re spot on with the observation that this fee covers Geithner’s failure.  If they really wanted to fix the banking crisis – the would get rid of the CRA, Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac – along with a few politicians directly involved.  My wife and I had a discussion about this fee last night – if these taxes get passed on to us as fees at our bank – we’re switching to a local bank.  Right now, we pay absolutely zero fees.  There is a very reputable local bank with three branches.  They started off just 5 years ago with only 1 in my neighborhood.  They added their 3d branch this past year during the bank bailouts and they did not receive funds.  I would encourage everyone that if they are with one of those top 50 banks and the taxes are passed on to them – start researching your local smaller banks and make the move.

Tuesday Mash-up

Posted by: The BoBo  //  Category: A Nation at Risk, African-Americans, America, Children, Harry Reid, Liberals, P-BO, Politics, government, libertarian

I rarely do any kind of post mash-ups – but – given that I’ve gotten so behind – and there is so much to talk about – I’m just going to put up some shorts here.

Scott Brown

I was alerted about Scott Brown and the Massachussetts Senate race coming up on January 19th by Rod over at Disgrunted Republican. Go read his posts on this. Apparently, there was a money bomb yesterday. From reports, he took in over $1 Million yesterday. I saw this video on Drudge today. This guy gets it and he needs our support – donate here. Wouldn’t it be great if he took Ted Kennedy’s seat? What a message that would send to those idiots in Congress who are trying to force this healthcare bill on us in Kennedy’s name!

Lead Based Toys

I’m posting this as a favor to NDFENCOFOBAMA.  You have to read this post.  Many of you read my post about the problem I had with Toys R Us.  Well – this post is even more frightening.  I already knew a lot of this because of my studies – but – I never posted about it.  China is killing our animals and our kids slowly – and the American government allows it.  Check out the post and you’ll understand what I am talking about. In case you aren’t aware – the CDC has “acceptable” levels for human exposure to dangerous toxins.  Many of these toxins are in our children’s toys.  I published a paper regarding phthalates in our kids’ toys, bottles, furniture, and pacifiers.  Phthalates has been banned in every country but the U.S. with the exception of California.  If you are interested in seeing the government accepted levels for human exposure to toxins – check it out here at ATSDR.

Obama is a Negro

While I stated in this post a while back that Obama is NOT the first black president because he is actually a mulatto – I guess now it is okay to call Obama a negro.  Al Sharpton and the NAACP say it’s okay.  The Congressional Black Caucus says its okay.  Whoopie Goldberg says its okay.  Even the head Negro himself says it’s okay. From this point forward – I’ll just refer to P-BO as “Our Negro President.”  Let’s see how long it takes for those liberal idiots to show the double standard and start calling me a racist even though all the above says its okay for us to start referring to blacks as Negroes.

UPDATE: Apparently, Michelle Obama doesn’t have a problem with this either.  So, from this point forward, I am going to start referring to her as The First Negro Lady.  Combined, they are going to be The Negro President’s Family. Let’s see how long before someone decides this actually is offensive!  From now on, I no longer have any “black” or “African-American” friends – they will all be my negro friends.  Additionally, I will no longer refer to “blacks” or “African-Americans” as such – they will all simply be negroes from now on seeing as how nobody in the negro community finds it offensive to use terminology so closely associated with the hate filled, racially charged, 50’s and 60’s. But, I bet if I fly my confederate flag – they’ll be knocking on my door!

California Might Legalize Marijuana

You have got to be freakin’ kidding right?  Here is what is reported:

The law would also call for a fee of $50 per ounce sold and would help fund drug eradication and awareness programs. It could help  pull California out of debt, supporters say, raising up to $990 million from the fees.

WTF?  Only liberals could come up with the idea to legalize drugs in order to tax them so they can then use that drug tax money to prevent future drug use!  These people have obviously been smoking some good shit themselves if they really believe this.  For those idiots who keep saying that pot is NOT addictive – you’re just fooling yourselves.  Two of my kids have been heavy users since they were 12 and 13, respectively.  Both of them ended up dropping out of high school.  Both have not been able to keep a job.  They both spend all their money on pot before anything else.  One has already been in jail for possession and distribution – and neither of them can stop smoking pot despite all the problems.  One has had to sleep in his car because he can’t save enough money to get his own apartment.  He is going on 22 years old now.  While I certainly do love him and worry about him – there isn’t shit I can do for him until he decides that he needs help.  BTW – he has already done a court ordered six month stint in rehab – only to go right back to smoking again because of idiots out there pushing it on him saying its not addictive – and he’s stupid enough to buy in to it.  The other one is following right behind him. So – don’t give me your liberal bullshit that pot is not addictive – it sure the hell is.

White House Says America Stronger Since Our Negro President Took Over

All I can say is – Bwahahaha!  That’s a joke – right?  Read the lies here yourself. Wasn’t it Hitler that said if you tell a lie enough times, sooner or later someone will believe it?  We’re not buying it any more.  We see the truth because we live the truth.
