This is for all of my Pennsylvania readers. This is a good friend of mine – we went to high school together in Carlisle, PA. He served as our Class President in my senior year. He is now running for Lt. Governor up your way – let’s give this guy your support – he deserves it and he’s a good conservative.
Steve Johnson Official Website
Today while I was driving in to work I was listening to the Glenn Beck show – he had a stand-in ..I wish I could remember that guy’s name to give him credit for what I’m about to say…I’ve decided from this point forward I am going to steal his moniker for Obama….P-BO. Bwahahaha. He figured that since the President continues to hang out with this hip hoppers like Will.I.Am, P-Diddy, J-Lo etc…since he hangs out with people with goofy names…he’d give the Prez a goofy name P-BO. So, from this point forward, I will only use P-BO in reference to the big guy up there on Capital Hill.
Now – I’m sure everyone has read this headline on Drudge Today:
Obama to raise 10-year deficit to $9 Trillion
The point of this story is that P-BO is bumping his estimates from $7.18 T to $9 T which brings it in line with what the CBO and other economists have been saying. But, here’s the main point I take from this:
The White House budget office will also lower its deficit forecast for this fiscal year, which ends September 30, to $1.58 trillion from $1.84 trillion next week after removing $250 billion set aside for bank bailouts.
followed by this statement
Obama, who has promised to halve the deficit by the end of his four-year term and likes to remind constituents he inherited a $1.3 trillion deficit from former President George W. Bush, says bringing down healthcare costs is critical to long-term deficit reduction.
Okay – here’s the REAL story that everyone needs to pay attention to – in less than 45 days the deficit will have increased to $1.84 trillion. P-BO keeps harping on the fact that he inherited $1.3 trillion. Forget the fact that he voted for the $787 Billion TARP bill that doubled the deficit immediately. The fact of the matter is that in an 8 month period – P-BO increased the deficit by $500 Billion or half a trillion. It took GWB 8 years to reach $600 Billion before the TARP bill.
Perhaps what people are not understanding is the difference between debt and deficit. A debt is a liability on the books – the amount that you borrow and promise to pay back at some specified interest rate. A deficit is a negative number. In other words, if you are balancing your own checkbook and you started off with $100 at the beginning of the month and you spent $200, you have a $100 deficit. At that point, the banks start charging bank fees and bouncing your checks.
Even if P-BO halves the deficit by the end of his first term, at the rate he is going, by 2012 he will have a deficit of $3.6 trillion. If he halves that, he is still at $1.8 Trillion which is exactly where we will be at on September 30, 2009. So – what the hell would he have accomplished in 4 years? Absolutely nothing. But, I would like to know how he expect to halve the deficit when the CBO is coming out and saying we will be at $9 T in 10 years. That means that with everything he has already commited this country too – unless there are some serious cuts in the budget, major tax increases, and a major reduction in the size of this government, there is no freakin’ way in hell he will be able to balance the budget.
This is just more tax and spend government. This is nothing new to the dems. I’m just wondering exactly what that change is that he promised? The only change I see is a complete government takeover of this country and the best way to do that is to collapse this economy – which is exactly what will happen if the health care bill and the cap and tax bills get passed. He won’t need to pass another spending bill the rest of his term to send us in to a total collapse. This is totally unsustainable and there is no way in hell we Americans as a people can overcome such a deficit unless he literally sells the entire country and all of our land and assets to foreign countries like China and Brazil.
This is proof positive that every election has consequences. November 2010 can’t get here fast enough.
Quite the week we’ve had so far! Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett, Michael Jackson, and now Billy Mays all dead. Unfreakin’ believable! I wish piece of shit crap and tax bill would have died as well! Anyway – after a two week hiatus – The BoBo Carnival of Politics is back with another great edition. Have at it people!
The Smarter Wallet presents Dave Ramsey’s Town Hall For Hope posted at The Smarter Wallet, saying, “How does Dave Ramsey explain the financial crisis?”
You’ll see below in response to your credit card discussion that I mentioned I already paid off a few cards and have one left before I’m out of debt. I went through the Dave Ramsey Financial Peace University. Dave Ramsey is awesome and what you have on your blog is absolutey right. Once again, great post using a great resource. I highly recommend it to anybody to view his Town Hall video and his Financial Peace University – especially in today’s economy.
Michael Bass presents Joe Tegerdine VS Gene Taylor! The Battle For Mississippi’s 4th Congressional District! posted at Debt Prison, saying, “Every now and then a person runs for office that gives us hope. For many voters in the last election Barack Obama was that person. Obama promised ambiguous ‘Change’ and the people bought it. Unfortunately, for many Obama fans and devout Democrats, his foreign policy actions and his further crack down on civil liberties has come to resemble something like George Bush part II.”
Interesting – hopefully, Tegerdine turns out to be a true conservative then maybe he can defeat that faux Democratic Conservative Taylor.
lsm presents Teddy?s Legacy Will Kill Us All posted at awaken the elephants blog.
LSM – excellent. I have nothing further to add to this.
Scott Spiegel presents U.S. Invents Diabolical Weapon Called “Twitter” to Bring Down Iranian Regime posted at Scott Spiegel, saying, “President Obama said last week that he doesn’t want the U.S. to be seen as “meddling” in the recent Iranian presidential election. In his view, vocally supporting the protesters is comparable to the CIA’s coup against Mossadeq in 1953.”
Amen, brother! We should be standing behind the Iranian citizens with the full faith and trust of our government and our own citizens. Obama is wrong on this one.
Madeleine Begun Kane presents Don’t Ask. Don’t Tell. Just Sign! posted at Mad Kane’s Political Madness.
Mad Kane – I’m sure I don’t need to say this – personally – I think this needs to be repealed entirely and have it back to what it was before Clinton instituted the Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy. The UCMJ states that sodomy is a punishable offense as is any other forms of homosexual relations. We don’t need gays OPENLY serving in the military. This would be a huge bust for the morale of our military. I’m sorry – but – the military is by no means ready for this and it would not be accepted.
Wenchypoo presents Just When You Thought You Ran Out of Hope posted at Wisdom From Wenchypoo’s Mental Wastebasket.
Bwahaha – Liberty Lentils – good one.
Bob Brooks presents Wall Street Execs Living Large While the Rest of the Country Hurts posted at Bob Brooks – Prudent Money Blog.
Don’t forget – Timothy “Turbo Tax” Geithner is a Goldman Sachs alumni himself and still has buddies there. Nothing will be done. Just more paybacks from this administration for these company’s providing material support for Obama.
Mikkal Travvis presents Ron Paul And The Federal Reserve posted at The Truth.
I don’t generally tend to side with Ron Paul on many issues. I think he’s a nutjob with a lot of his positions. However, I support him 100% with regards to doing away with the Federal Reserve and having them open their books. The decision in the 30′s to hand over that much power to a private organization was by far one of the most idiotic things this country and our government has ever done. It’s time to take that power away from them.
Terri Choate presents Trickle Down Learning posted at Plum Duff…not your ordinary gruel!, saying, “Maybe this is old news…but school districts regularly understate the money spent per pupil as they ask for more, more, more.”
Great article. Public schools happens to be one of my “soap-box” issues. While I don’t know what the per pupil cost is in my district – we have multiple layers of administration that are totally unnecessary. Since when does a High School and Middle School need a freakin Assistant Principle for each grade and each of them having a secretary, etc etc – not to mention each grade having at least 2 “administrators” that handle discipline. It’s gotten so ridiculous that most of our tax money goes to paying salaries instead of purchasing text books. I sent four kids through public school. 2 graduated and 2 dropped out. I’m sending my last 2 to private schools now.
Bradley Hankins presents Who Is Back? posted at Bradley Hankins, saying, “You was wondering when I was going to start up again. Well here I am.”
Welcome Back Bradley – looking forward to your analysis of the various bills.
The Smarter Wallet presents Applying For A Credit Card? Review The Credit Card Bill of Rights posted at The Digerati Life, saying, “Obama just signed into law some regulations that will help curb some of the unpopular practices done by the credit industry. Here’s what’s in the credit card bill of rights, which is under review by our government.”
Great words of advise for those who are thinking about getting a credit card. I already cut up all mine and have paid them off. I have one more to go then I’m out of credit card hell. My advise is – use cash! If you can’t afford to pay for it in cash – well – then in today’s economy – you really can’t afford it at all then. Save for it instead.
Bradley Hankins presents Common Sense Foreign Policy: North Korea posted at Bradley Hankins, saying, “Common sense dealings with North Korea. Even more to come, just one was just too easy.”
You are absolutely right – we should not be looking to the international community to protect ourselves. That is just plain ridiculous. Great post.
NAOMI presents NEW AD AGAINST BENEFIT THIEVES posted at Diary From England.
Naomi – I’ll have to admit that I haven’t been paying real close attention to exactly what is going on over on your side of the big pond. However, I have been following Daniel Hannen pretty closely so I get the point. Unfortunately, we’re seeing a similar situation here in the U.S. – rather than second homes – our politicians get lifelong benefits and 100% salary after they retire and that even gets passed on to their spouses after they die and then the spouses collect 100% benefit and salary until they die. Pretty freakin ridiculous that these politicians consider themselves so elite they can steal from we the people.
Bradley Hankins presents Transparency posted at Bradley Hankins, saying, “Honestly, putting legislation in plain English would help so much.”
Agreed! However, this administration that promised transparency has given us none at all.
Jake presents Why the World Hates America (Part 1) posted at Global Implications, saying, “Given the negative attitude toward the United States around the world, I am writing a multi-part series on the actions of the US since World War II with the worst consequences. I will post an article every day and should finish the seven-part series on Friday, June 26.”
Jake – I hope you don’t mind but I took the liberty to post the links to the remaining articles. This is a very interesting analysis. However, I would say that we still have many more friends and allies than we do enemies. It seems our only real enemies in the world are radical regimes. Please post up the last remaining parts in next week’s carnival! Personally, regarding Part 5 – I think we need to “unflinchingly” support Israel. They are our only true ally in the middle east. Being a former Hebrew Linguist in the Air Force – I understand Israel and the day-to-day struggles they have to face. They are under constant terrorist attack every day. They need our support and we should stand behind them all the way.
Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5
Ram Raghavan presents The incorrectness of political correctness posted at ramraghav.com, saying, “What is political correctness? What is its cause and its consequence?”
Ram – you are so totally right on with this post. The only thing I would add here is that the history of Political Correctness actually has its roots in marxism and Russia. Here’s another good resource for you on the history.

Hi All – we’ve got a lot of great submissions this week! I hope you get a chance to get through them all. Before we get this thing started – I gotta say this – GO PENGUINS!!!!!! For you Red Wing fans – so sorry – too bad! Bwahahahaha! Also I wanted to point out there will not be a Carnival next Sunday – it’s Father’s Day and I plan on spending the whole day with the kids. However, you can still put in submissions for the following week – June 28, 2009 Edition!
John Kaduk presents Chicago’s Summer Games: Murder posted at The Right Wing.
Great stats John. It’s very interesting that we don’t hear that in the MSM – 509 murders a year in Chicago compared to 314 soldiers killed in Iraq. I don’t think they’ll get the Olympics either.
lsm presents Russia Warns Us. posted at awaken the elephants blog.
Thanks LSM for breaking this down for us. I touched upon this briefly last week – but – you’ve done a great job of covering the entire report out of Pravda. Imagine – a formerly Communist nation telling America how to be Capitalist and warning us we’re on the path to Socialism. Well – I hope no one out there is surprised considering bloggers like myself and you tried to warn America BEFORE the election!
Eric Gargiulo presents Don’t Apologize For Me Mr. President! posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, “President Obama has elevated the art of national self-loathing to new heights, and seems to delight in prostrating the most powerful nation on the face of the earth before its critics and rivals, especially on foreign soil. The Obama worldview revolves around the central premise that the United States must be humble and “engage” and work with its enemies through the application of “smart power”.”
Eric – my sentiments exactly! Nicely put.
Selkirk presents Shocker: The Left Distorts the Truth to Justify Health Care Bill posted at Political Castaway Blog: Broadcasting Conservatism to Rescue America.
Selkirk – thanks for submitting this and doing some background research. In addition to the lies perpetrated regarding bankruptcies – I also want to point out the myth behind the 47 Million without insurance. First – they never mentioned that as of 2007 the U.S. Census Bureau has actually adjusted it to 45 Million. Sure, that seems like a lot – but – you actually have to look at the real numbers.
17.8 Million make $50,000+ income/year. They can afford their own healthcare, they just choose not to buy it – which to me is irresponsible.
8.6 Million are under the age of 18 – they qualify for Medicaid, SCHIP, or what is called a Share of Cost coverage based on a sliding scale of parents’ total income. Their parents just have not applied for it – which is irresponsible.
550,000 are age 65+ and are eligible for Medicare – again – they just need to apply.
10 Million are not U.S. citizens – they aren’t eligible for any government insurance assistance anyway.
When you break it down – we really only have 35 Million Americans that are uninsured and out of that – 27 Million could really be covered – but, due to their own irresponsibility – are not insured. What this leaves is 8 million without coverage that would require assistance. Another interesting statistic is that out of the total 45 million uninsured – 35 Million are White. The government tries to say that there is a racial disparity and that it is mostly minorities that are uninsured and we need to help them. Bullshit! Here’s the source for all these numbers – straight from the U.S. Census Bureau – don’t take my word for it – you guys are smart enough to read through these numbers yourselves. This is a huge con job on America to push nationalized healthcare because they don’t think we’ll actually look at the real numbers:

Garrett Oden presents 10 Most Common Arguments for Abortion « Forever Christian posted at Forever Christian, saying, “My personal thoughts on abortion with some fact mixed in. The addition of my short article would be beneficial to your carnival! Thanks =D”
Garrett – thanks for this submission. I don’t buy their arguments either! You’ve done a great job of dispelling each one of them.
Michael Bass presents Is Haley Barbour running for President? posted at South Mississippi Campaign For Liberty, saying, “His recent veto of eminent domain abuse here in Mississippi should give Republicans a good reason to pause and examine his legislative record carefully.”
Well – if he is – he’s in good company with Barack Obama supporters then! Thanks for bringing this to the forefront. Hopefully, the RNC will be smart enough to know that real Republicans and Conservatives do not support lefty RINO’s.
Silicon Valley Blogger presents Stock Market Predictions From Bad News Bears posted at The Digerati Life, saying, “What are the economic pundits telling us now?”
Digerati – I like the varying “experts” you provided for detailing the various “opinions” out there. I have to agree with you – there is nothing better than doing your own research and data gathering before you make a decision. Additionally, the reasons why people invest are varying and personal. Some are risk-takers and others are conservative – and everyone in between. It still all boils down to what your investment goals are. The market has always been a risk-reward system. The greater the risk – the potential for great rewards – but – with that also comes the potential for great loss. You’re right – the truth is somewhere in between and we ultimately need to decide for ourselves what is right for us. You’ve provided some great information for helping to make those decisions.
The Smarter Wallet presents Can A Housing Assistance Program Prevent Foreclosure? posted at The Smarter Wallet, saying, “Thanks!”
I don’t have anything to add to this – as I don’t have any personal knowledge or experience. What I can say is that you have once again provided some very valuable information to our readers. Hopefully, if we have anybody out there reading this that falls in this unfortunate situation – they will come to your blog and find the information they need to get out of the rut.
Madeleine Begun Kane presents Liz Cheney’s Song posted at Mad Kane’s Political Madness.
Interesting – but – who really cares about Liz Cheney and what she is saying? NO real Conservative or political junky pays any attention to her anyway.
Fortuitous Observer presents Walking Contradictions posted at Soul Thumping, saying, “Seeing humor in politics”
While I can see why you find humor in what you think are contradictions – it just goes to show how out of touch Liberals are with Conservatives. The fact of the matter is that Conservatives are indeed great activists for personal liberty and freedom. It makes perfect sense that a conservative supporter of Palin would also be in support of free Tibetans. But – I will have to give you the one regarding the Greatful Dead. Never did like their music in the first place – very over rated.
The problem is that Liberals only tend to hang out with other Liberals and only read Liberal blogs and watch the Liberal news media. You guys are so boxed in you don’t see the real world for what it is. Before you decided to go off on me – this comes from a study straight out of Ohio State. Conservatives are actually more open-minded and greater supporters of Liberty and Freedom than Liberals. We believe the way to personal freedom is personal responsibility – not government interference.
And..I guess you have never heard of the term “South Park Conservatives.” There are those of us out here that are very Conservative – but – open minded enough to enjoy themselves and not take things too seriously.
C. E. Dowalt presents President Obama: Groveler in Chief, Dhimi Version posted at Money Confidential.
C.E. – it appears there is something wrong with your blog. I got an error message from your host stating it is unavailable and for you to contact them as soon as possible. There is a phone number there for you to call them. I hope you get this back up again soon. I’d really like to read your posts. Let me know when you’re back up and running again.
Mar Matthias Darin presents Obama Indicted by Two Hundred Member Grand Jury posted at The Matthias Chronicles, saying, “Forget the seat belt, we’re going to need battle armor soon… This is going to be one wicked roller coaster ride!”
Mar Matthias – I hope one of my commentors – Orchid – comes back again to see this. That commentor thinks this is all about racism. When 200 jurors from 8 Grand Juries hand down indictments around this country requesting the birth certificate be presented as he may be usurping power and became the President illegally – I would say that is significant evidence that this issue is gaining steam around the country. If he really were an American citizen – why is he spending so much money ($1 million) in legal fees to battle it? Thanks for posting this up!
Sarah Scrafford presents 100 Open Courses to Learn More About the Middle East posted at Rated Colleges.
Nice list Sarah. Given that the President recently called the U.S. a Muslim Nation – I think people should get to understand just what that means.
C. E. Dowalt presents Checkmate in Asia posted at Money Confidential.
See above.
J.D. Bell presents Barack Tells Congress To Get Off Their Pork-Filled Butts posted at It Takes Work, saying, “Mr. Obama is getting a little impatient with his Legislative backup singers.”
First – I see where you’re going with this J.D. – and I can support some of your points. However, you’ll see that I provided some statistics in this carnival regarding the so-called “uninsured.” That’s a scam. Regarding healthcare costs being way to high – that’s not entirely true either. You have to look at what is driving up healthcare costs – one of the largest portions of that being out of control lawsuits. If you want to bring the cost of healthcare down – there needs to be tort reform first. Hospitals and physicians have to carry multi-million dollar policies as a result – these costs are passed down to patients. Additionally, built in to these costs are technology. As technology becomes more widely used – the costs come down. But, overall – the greatest cost to our healthcare system are illegal immigrants. They are costing us billions of dollars each year. Their care falls under what is termed “indigent care.” They are uninsured and as a result of EMTALA – cannot be turned away because they are illegal. These costs to care for illegals are passed down to everyone else – which makes the cost of healthcare increase significantly.
As for quality of healthcare – not sure how you come to the conclusion it is “wayyy too low.” I have been involved in the healthcare industry in every aspect of it for over 18 years. I have seen the improvements in quality. The quality of our healthcare is superior compared to the rest of the world. We are number 1 in quality of care – it is for this reason that many foreignors come to this country for their health care needs. You didn’t provide any evidence.
We don’t need the kind of healthcare reform that Obama and the Dems are pushing. What we need is for our government to enforce the laws already in place to bring costs down and to implement tort reform. Great discussion though!
Archvillain presents Rumors of War posted at A Dark and Sinister Force for Good, saying, “War is bad for business. Let’s hope China thinks so, too.”
Thanks for the history lesson Archvillain. I always learn something new from your posts. As with you, I hope China truly understands the threat from N. Korea and will do something about it. Given the way we’re all tied in economically around this globe – a war could truly be devastating for us all.
James J. Gormley presents One flu over the cuckoo’s nest? Phony Swine Flu products are dangerous posted at The Gormley Files, saying, “Swine flu swindlers take consumers for a ride.”
James – thanks for bringing this up. At this time – there is not even an effective vaccination for the Swine Flu. They are still in the experimental stages. If there is no vaccination – there certainly are no “supplements” or dietary treatments or products out there either.
Phil B. presents The Fall of China « Phil for Humanity posted at Phil for Humanity, saying, “Some guesses on how China could collapse.”
Phil – this was a very interesting read. Personally, I see China coming out ahead for decades to come – they are becoming what the U.S. used to be because they have a very strong Capitalist economy. Not only that – but – they are buying up the world’s supply of gold, natural gas, oil, copper, silver, and other industrial metals. They are positioning themselves to be the next true superpower. I do agree with you that them doing a large portion of business in the U.S. at this time could be harmful to them. Overall – great article.
B. Forrest presents Let’s get stimulated! posted at Pay Attention Moron.
Excellent Econ 101 lesson. Unfortunately, it seems that only Conservatives really understand this. I keep coming across too many Obama sheeple that actually believe this idiotic stimulus plan will work despite the very real and apparent evidence that proves otherwise. They’re willing to buy the line that it’s all Bush’s fault. I’m just wondering at what point they will finally wake up and see that this was caused by liberal policies and Obama is just continuing the economic destruction of this great country with these foolish whims of his.
Isabel Rodríguez presents Please, pay more money to children who want to stay at school posted at Trying to keep an open mind and an open heart, saying, “I live in Mexico and in this country, it is not unusual to see children working, who do not attend school. In fact, you see them EVERYWHERE. You see them in street corners, cleaning windshields or selling candies. You see them cleaning houses. You see them in car repair shops. You see them in an unlimited number of places. What to do about it?”
Isabel – Thank you so much for this submission. I hope there are some readers out there that see this and understand what an education means for our children through the example you have provided us. The only labor that children should be engaged in IS school! Unfortunately, here in the U.S. – many parents are no longer teaching their children that education is the basis for success and we have a crisis of our own here – we have a national dropout rate of 4.7% with some states having as much as 10%.
I think the program in Mexico is a great start – but – considering the economic turmoil you guys are facing – I can see why many parents are forcing their children in to day labor instead of education. I don’t have an answer for you either – except – you guys have a lot of corruption in your government. Until your political elite stop catering to the drug cartels – I don’t see the economy ever turning around in Mexico to sustain a permanent education system that will keep kids in school there.
Terri Choate presents Here’s to Holes in Water posted at Plum Duff…not your ordinary gruel!.
“Holes in Water” – I like that analogy! This is a great post. The era of Calvin Cooledge is practically dead, unfortunately. It amazes me that too many people these days are looking to the government to solve their problems rather than doing the responsible thing and being independent. Being a Public Health scholar right now – I have learned that the vast majority of all of the illnesses in this country are the direct result of risky behavior (as you pointed out). While you named a few examples – risky behavior actually encompasses a very wide variety of activities. What it all boils down to is acting responsibly and taking responsibility for your actions – which seems a foreign concept today. Great article.
Bob Brooks presents Another Story of Possible Government Corruption That Goes Under-reported posted at Bob Brooks – Prudent Money Blog.
Hmmm…never even heard this story in the media anywhere. Obama just seems to surround himself with corrupt people doesn’t he? It doesn’t surprise me at all that Geithner is involved in this. More political payback! Thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Super Saver presents Next Generation Bailout Acronyms posted at My Wealth Builder.

From Merriem-Webster’s
Main Entry:
fas·cism
Pronunciation:
\ˈfa-ˌshi-zəm also ˈfa-ˌsi-\
Function:
noun
Etymology:
Italian fascismo, from fascio bundle, fasces, group, from Latin fascis bundle & fasces fasces
Date:
19211.often capitalized : a political philosophy, movement, or regime (as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition
2: a tendency toward or actual exercise of strong autocratic or dictatorial control
After the latest government takeover of private industry – I am no longer stating that Obama is leading us towards socialism. He has in fact proven that he is following in Mussolini, Hitler, and FDR’s footsteps and moving this country towards Fascism at a speed that is almost uncontrollable. While FDR certainly was moving towards Fascism and was a great admirer of Mussolini – not even FDR has accomplished the feat that Obama has in less than six months.
It has now gotten so bad in this country that we have China, Russia, and Germany telling us to stop heading towards socialism. Of all the countries to warn the U.S. about it’s socialist tendencies right now – Russia and China? I think they have it wrong anyway – Obama is a Fascist – not a socialist. Socialists take over private business and run everything and make all the decisions for the benefit of the collective. Fascists “partner” with private business and will provide an allusion that the private organization is in control – but in the end – makes all the business decisions – not for the good of the people – but for the good of the government elite.
You guys on the left kept calling Bush a fascist because he supported big business. That just means that you really did not understand the definition of Fascism nor did you study history and the rise and fall of Mussolini and Hitler. These guys were the epitome of Fascist. They took over all private business. Left the corporations in place – but partnered with the CEO’s of those businesses. All production was to the benefit of the government. Under a socialist regime – all production is for the benefit of the people and work and profit are equally distributed.
I want you to really look at what has happened to our auto industry, finance industry, and insurance industry. The government has taken ownership of the largest of these corporations (GM, Chrysler, Bank of America, AIG, etc.) Those banks that took the TARP money are not even allowed to give it back now. If Obama wasn’t in the business of nationalizing our financial system – why aren’t the banks now allowed to become private businesses again? Look at what Obama did to Chrysler – He fired their CEO and also made cuts to their advertising budget. That is the definition of fascist government control over private industry. Same thing for AIG – he feigned outrage over the bonuses – yet – he had complete control over the fates of every single individual working at AIG. He knew all the details – yet – he needed to demonize the industry for the people to cry out. This allowed Obama to take over AIG – no questions asked.
Obama says he doesn’t want to run the auto companies and said on Monday that government will only be involved in the “fundamental decisions.” People – wake the hell up! The most fundamental decisions of any business IS the business. He plans on being involved at every level of decision making with GM. If that weren’t true – then why the hell does he have some totally unqualified 31-year-old kid with absolutely no economic experience, no private industry experience, and no auto-industry experience controlling the fate of GM?
Next on the horizon for Obama’s fascist takeover America is our healthcare system and energy sector. The latest poll states that 80% of Americans are satisfied with their insurance coverage. Why the hell would we allow the government to control of something that the majority of Americans are actually happy with? Once government takes over health care – they can now dictate every aspect of our life – if you don’t believe me – just ask anybody who has been through the Canadian or British Health Systems. Your ability to access healthcare will be based on your health – are you a smoker? are you obese? do you eat more red meat than you should? How old are you? etc. Socialized medicine is based on a system of rationing and there are very strict guidelines as to who will be covered under that system. I urge you to google it yourselves – I could give you thousands of links of examples of this. I have a British family living next to me and the wife is a former nurse for the BHS. She is now a nurse here in the U.S.. Since my wife is a nurse as well – we often have lots of discussion regarding a comparison of the BHS and our system here. She felt stifled as a nurse under the BHS because while she really wanted to provide care to her patients – the government had strict control over what care could be provided depending on the individual’s socioeconomic position and general health.
If you don’t think this is possible – just read the provision of the new HITECH Act under the ARRA. This will require that EVERY physician and health care provider be on electronic medical records by 2014. As part of that requirement – a national database will be created and maintained by the federal government. EVERY EMR system in America will be linked to that national database. You want to talk about “Big Brother!” You will no longer have health care privacy in America. The government will have access to and will maintain every piece of health information about you. This system will also have real-time capabilities for the government to direct your physician during your visit. The government will be deciding your course of treatment – not your physician. Do you still think that Obama is not a Fascist? He will now decided what kind of car you drive, who gets loans from the banks, who gets insured, and who gets appropriate health coverage. Having control over the health care system – he will also be able to control what foods we eat. He will use the FDA and EPA to regulate the national food supply. Don’t believe me? How many times have you read something in the news about one of those lefty states trying to regulate through food taxes or placing bans on certain foods? The FDA and EPA will ensure those bans because the national healthcare database has provided evidence that supports their bans.
Lastly – well, as far as what we know right now to be lastly – with the Cap & Trade scheme that Obama is proposing – the smart grid will also control your thermostats in your homes. You will no longer have control over your own home. Obama said it himself – check that link. This Cap & Trade will also be utilized to dictate policy over the auto industry that the government controls. They will be able to use these regulations to push cars on us that we don’t want.
I know this sounds a bit conspiratorial – but – you have to look at the evidence so far. None of this can be blamed on Bush any longer. Obama has now spent more in 6 months than every administration in the previous 30 years. How the hell can you blame that on Bush? Obama has tripled the national debt in less than 6 months and this year alone plans on borrowing $2 Trillion!!!!!! He had a budget deficit of $850 Billion when he came in to office. You can no longer blame this on Bush. While I did not agree with much of what Bush did – he certainly did not push us in to economic failure of this magnitude. CMBlake has another good link to illustrate this point as well.
I don’t know what the answers are – but – I do know one thing – if this continues – we won’t make it to the 2010 elections to change it. We’re on a path towards Fascism with Obama controlling every aspect of our lives. He is in the process of destroying capitalism and the greatest country in the world. If you didn’t click on that link for the article from Russia – I highly recommend you go back up there and read their dire warning. The politicians are in his pocket – Dems and Republicans. There are now reports out there that even the MSM is scared to oppose Obama – that’s why we don’t see any negative news coverage about Obama and that’s why the MSM will never ask him any hard questions.
Is it any wonder that Chavez had no problem walking up to Obama and giving him that “present?” Chavez recognizes Obama for who he is – a bird of a feather. Obama is doing the same thing Chavez did – But on a grander scale! Is it any wonder that Obama goes around the world and tells foreign leaders what a horrible country America is? Is it any wonder that Obama sides with the Palestineans over Israel? Does it surprise anybody at all that Obama now supports Iran obtaining nukes? Does it surprise anybody that even today Obama stated to a muslim audience America is “one of the largest muslim countries in the world.” WTF? We are not a muslim country – we are a nation built on Christian principles with a Constitution upon which our laws are based – not freakin’ Sharia law. Irate Nate weighs in on this issue as well.
Elections have consequences – and – now we’re all suffering because of ignorance at the polls.
I came across this over at The 9.12 Project – This is probably the best video ever!
Also – so maybe you’re asking yourself where can I find out where a tea party is in my area? well – if you want to find out where the nearest Tea Party is in your area – you can:
I created this table from the links off the official Tax Day Tea Party website. Let others know about this video and how to find where the tea parties are in their states. Please Buzz, Stumble, Digg, Tweet, and share this post with others. We’re only a couple weeks away now. Or – if you are able to – try to copy/paste that table in to your blogs.
