The Democrats were just handed more crushing defeats in New York and in Nevada.
In New York, Republican Bob Turner gave a ‘shellacking’ to Democrat David Weprin in a district that hasn’t had a Republican since the 1920s! The Democrats claim it isn’t a referendum on Obama, though.
How much more in denial can one party be?? Of course it’s a referendum against Obama. The two elections were local but it’s about the continuous discontent of the people against liberal policies.
When people are out of a job and losing their homes liberal bravo sierra will only carry you so far.
You are about to reap the whirlwind come election time and it’s going to be ugly. The only beautiful part will be following the election and watching the U Haul trucks hauling your belongings (and probably some that aren’t yours, ala the Clintons) away.

If You Love Him, You'll Help Him Get This Bill Passed
“If you love me, you’ve got to help me pass this bill.”
September 14th 2011
And now the latest foolishness from our narcissist-in-chief.
While addressing a crowd at North Carolina University the man who never met a mirror he didn’t like said the following, regarding the so-called Jobs Bill that he has yet to provide: “If you love me, you’ve got to help me pass this bill.” No, I’m not joking. I don’t make political jokes – We already have one in the White House.
He went on to tell them that their homework assignment was to “tell your Congress person that the time for gridlock and games is over; the time for action is now.” The gridlock and games would be over, Mr. President if you and your party would stop trying to get Conservatives to aid and abet you in destroying the economy. Compromise doesn’t mean giving up your principals and allow Liberals to do even more damage and give them the opportunity to claim it was bipartisan.
The huge pile of paper that Obama claims is his job stimulus bill has been gone over and it’s nothing but a retread of every other worthless bill he’s come up with. “The rich need to pay their fair share.” Even though they pay most of the taxes and the bottom 45% don’t pay a dime. He wants even more stimulus money (in the face of about a $half billion dollars that was given to Solyndrum, the solar panel company that just filed for bankruptcy and no one knows where the money went.
While on that subject, they actually had the nerve to, you guessed it, try to blame George Bush for that one, too. In 2006 the company applied for a loan while Bush was President. The loan was halted when they found several problems with the company.
Six days after Obama was elected he fast-tracked the loan and went before the cameras (One of his favorite places) and touted the stimulus money given to the company and all the jobs he created. Ehhhhh, not so much.
He just gave another one of his rare speeches where he says there are 153 “structurally deficient” bridges that need to be repaired. The crowd went into applause as he mused, “Why would we wait to act until another bridge fails?”
To quote Bill O’Reilly, “I’m a simple man.” Maybe you can explain to this simple man what the heck you did with the first $Trillion dollars of what you called stimulus money. Wasn’t that suppose to go for bridge repair and other infrastructure projects? Secondly, if you know there are 153 ‘structurally deficient bridges’, why aren’t you closing them? Are we to believe that you’re holding people hostage and allowing them to drive on unsafe bridges unless you get your pathetic excuse for a jobs bill passed?
Instead of going to your same old tired habit of throwing out numbers, like all the jobs your last stimulus bill created in Arizona Congressional districts that don’t exist, how ‘bout giving us the names of the 153 bridges?
More than likely many of the bridges are in the 51-57 additional states of the union that Obama spoke of or the several additional Arizona Congressional districts over and above the 8 we actually have.
Obama is a fake and a fraud who is in way over his head but his ego won’t allow him to accept it. He won’t quit so it’s up to the voters to fire him in 2012.

Are Liberal Pundits and Politicians inherently dishonest?
Are Liberal Pundits and Politicians inherently dishonest?
Each time I watch the television and hear the liberal pundits and politicians spew, what can only be described as blatant dishonesty, I find myself asking myself, “Are they really that stupid? Do they really think we’re that stupid? Or are these pompous paragons of disinformation and misinformation fully cognizant of the lies they’re telling and of the damage they’re causing the country but prefer to put party over country?
They continue to keep telling us the so-called stimulus didn’t work because we just didn’t give them more money. And the only reason the alcoholic wasn’t cured was because we just didn’t give them enough liquor to drink.
I do not believe in enabling these people. Admitting you have a problem is the first step in curing yourself. These people don’t realize they have a problem. They don’t realize they are the problem. Anyone who has a substantive disagreement with Obama’s policies is called a racist. May I remind folks that his mother was white and race has nothing to do with making bad (make that, horrible) policies.
Given the extent they go to in order to hide details from the rest of us who have a functioning brain with the ability to use logic and reason, I can only assume they know they’re trying to pull one over on the American Public.
I’ve know a few decent used car sales people so I won’t belittle them by comparing Obama and his ilk to a used car salesman. It wouldn’t be fair to the used car sales folks.

The President’s speech was exactly that – another political speech.
He actually had the unmitigated gall to say Congress needs to “stop the political circus and actually do something to help the economy.”
Really? Really, Mr. President. You are the ring leader of the circus and couldn’t find your butt or an effective jobs plan with both hands and a hunting dog. You are the architect of this mess. Please don’t have the nerve to act like you’re above it all and somehow you’re the responsible one, asking for the kids to quit with the horse play. It is your mess that you’ve created and the rest of Americans have to suffer with.
You and your ilk, along with the liberal media as willing accomplices have tried to portray the Tea Party and Republicans as obstructionists because they won’t go along with your ill-conceived plans that are destroying America. Would you call a cop who stops the rape of a woman an obstructionist, too? When a crime is being committed we don’t plan on aiding and abetting that crime.
The President sent a note to his supporters asking them to put pressure on Congress to pass his plan "or hold them accountable if they do not." WHAT PLAN, Mr. Obama?? You don't have a plan. All you have is more bravo sierra campaign speeches. If you had a plan you would have already had it in writing for the Congress to look at. YOU DON'T HAVE A PLAN! You want Congress to be stupid enough to pass your imaginary plan and then you'll tell them what it is afterward.
Someone please tell the President the definition of insanity is to keep doing something the same way, over and over and expect a different result.

White House Spokeman Makes Slip on The O'Reilly Factor
While White House spokesman Jay Carney was being interviewd on the O'Reilly Factor he made what may have been a Freudian slip. Apparently O'Reilly didn't catch it but I did. I went back to review the tape.
At 6:48 into the interview the poor lad was so flustered that he actually said, “The President has always said we need to put party ahead of country.”
We all knew that's how Obama feels, we just didn't expect Carney to admit it.

I received this from a friend. My advice is to always verify these articles when possible. The article echoes what I've been believing and saying for a long time but I can only wish I authored it. Below is the note I sent back to the person who sent it to me. I fully intend to post it to my blog with, "author unkown".
Bernie
Actually, David Kaiser didn't author it and says, with the exception of the first two sentences, he disagrees with much of it. If you click on to the two links it will reiterate that.
The article has also been wrongly attributed to Dr. Timothy L. Wood . It has also been linked to Pamela Geller, author of the Atlas Shrugs blog. Although Ms. Geller says it began as a reader comment to another blog but says she wished she had wrote it. Frankly, I wish I had because I agree with it.
If you can legally vote, go out and do it on election day. If you think Obama is the man you most identify with, vote for him. If not, vote for the person you do identify with and think can best lead the nation. If you can vote and choose not to, you have no right to complain in my opinion.
Many people have died to give you that Right. Use it.

WHAT IF HE IS RIGHT?? (I think he is.)
David Kaiser is a respected historian whose published works have
covered a broad range of topics, from European Warfare to American
League Baseball. Born in 1947, the son of a diplomat, Kaiser spent his
childhood in three capital cities: Washington D.C., Albany, New York
, and Dakar, Senegal .. He attended Harvard University , graduating
there in 1969 with a BA. in history. He then spent several years more
at Harvard, gaining a PhD in history, which he obtained in 1976.. He
served in the Army Reserve from 1970 to 1976.
He is a professor in the Strategy and Policy Department of the United
States Naval War College . He has previously taught at Carnegie
Mellon, Williams College and Harvard University . Kaiser's latest
book, The Road to Dallas, about the Kennedy assassination, was just
published by Harvard University Press.
Dr. David Kaiser
History Unfolding
I am a student of history. Professionally, I have written 15 books on
history that have been published in six languages, and I have studied
history all my life. I have come to think there is something
monumentally large afoot, and I do not believe it is simply a banking
crisis, or a mortgage crisis, or a credit crisis. Yes these exist, but
they are merely single facets on a very large gemstone that is only
now coming into a sharper focus..
Something of historic proportions is happening. I can sense it because
I know how it feels, smells, what it looks like, and how people react
to it. Yes, a perfect storm may be brewing, but there is something
happening within our country that has been evolving for about ten to
fifteen years. The pace has dramatically quickened in the past two.
We demand and then codify into law the requirement that our banks make
massive loans to people we know they can never pay back? Why?
We learned just days ago that the Federal Reserve, which has little or
no real oversight by anyone, has "loaned" two trillion dollars (that
is $2,000,000,000,000) over the past few months, but will not tell us
to whom or why or disclose the terms. That is our money. Yours and
mine. And that is three times the $700 billion we all argued about so
strenuously just this past September. Who has this money? Why do they
have it? Why are the terms unavailable to us? Who asked for it? Who
authorized it? I thought this was a government of "we the people," who
loaned our powers to our elected leaders. Apparently not.
We have spent two or more decades intentionally de-industrializing our
economy... Why?
We have intentionally dumbed down our schools, ignored our history,
and no longer teach our founding documents, why we are exceptional,
and why we are worth preserving. Students by and large cannot write,
think critically, read, or articulate. Parents are not revolting,
teachers are not picketing, school boards continue to back mediocrity.
Why?
We have now established the precedent of protesting every close
election (violently in California over a proposition that is so
controversial that it simply wants marriage to remain defined as
between one man and one woman. Did you ever think such a thing
possible just a decade ago?) We have corrupted our sacred political
process by allowing unelected judges to write laws that radically
change our way of life, and then mainstream Marxist groups like ACORN
and others to turn our voting system into a banana republic. To what
purpose?
Now our mortgage industry is collapsing, housing prices are in free
fall, major industries are failing, our banking system is on the verge
of collapse, social security is nearly bankrupt, as is Medicare and
our entire government. Our education system is worse than a joke (I
teach college and I know precisely what I am talking about) - the list
is staggering in its length, breadth, and depth.. It is potentially
1929 x ten...And we are at war with an enemy we cannot even name for
fear of offending people of the same religion, who, in turn, cannot
wait to slit the throats of your children if they have the opportunity
to do so.
And finally, we have elected a man that no one really knows anything
about, who has never run so much as a Dairy Queen, let alone a town as
big as Wasilla , Alaska .. All of his associations and alliances are
with real radicals in their chosen fields of employment, and
everything we learn about him, drip by drip, is unsettling if not
downright scary (Surely you have heard him speak about his idea to
create and fund a mandatory civilian defense force stronger than our
military for use inside our borders? No? Oh, of course. The media
would never play that for you over and over and then demand he answer
it. Sarah Palin's pregnant daughter and $150,000 wardrobe are more
important.)
Mr. Obama's winning platform can be boiled down to one word: Change. Why?
I have never been so afraid for my country and for my children as I am now.
This man campaigned on bringing people together, something he has
never, ever done in his professional life. In my assessment, Obama
will divide us along philosophical lines, push us apart, and then try
to realign the pieces into a new and different power structure. Change
is indeed coming. And when it comes, you will never see the same
nation again.
And that is only the beginning..
As a serious student of history, I thought I would never come to
experience what the ordinary, moral German must have felt in the
mid-1930s In those times, the "savior" was a former smooth-talking
rabble-rouser from the streets, about whom the average German knew
next to nothing. What they should have known was that he was
associated with groups that shouted, shoved, and pushed around people
with whom they disagreed; he edged his way onto the political stage
through great oratory. Conservative "losers" read it right now.
And there were the promises. Economic times were tough, people were
losing jobs, and he was a great speaker. And he smiled and frowned and
waved a lot. And people, even newspapers, were afraid to speak out for
fear that his "brown shirts" would bully and beat them into
submission. Which they did - regularly. And then, he was duly elected
to office, while a full-throttled economic crisis bloomed at hand -
the Great Depression Slowly, but surely he seized the controls of
government power, person by person, department by department,
bureaucracy by bureaucracy. The children of German citizens were at
first, encouraged to join a Youth Movement in his name where they were
taught exactly what to think. Later, they were required to do so. No
Jews of course,
How did he get people on his side? He did it by promising jobs to the
jobless, money to the money-less, and rewards for the
military-industrial complex. He did it by indoctrinating the children,
advocating gun control, health care for all, better wages, better
jobs, and promising to re-instill pride once again in the country,
across Europe , and across the world. He did it with a compliant media
- did you know that? And he did this all in the name of justice and
... change. And the people surely got what they voted for.
If you think I am exaggerating, look it up. It's all there in the history
books.
So read your history books. Many people of conscience objected in 1933
and were shouted down, called names, laughed at, and ridiculed. When
Winston Churchill pointed out the obvious in the late 1930s while
seated in the House of Lords in England (he was not yet Prime
Minister), he was booed into his seat and called a crazy troublemaker.
He was right, though. And the world came to regret that he was not
listened to.
Do not forget that Germany was the most educated, the most cultured
country in Europe . It was full of music, art, museums, hospitals,
laboratories, and universities. And yet, in less than six years (a
shorter time span than just two terms of the U. S. presidency) it was
rounding up its own citizens, killing others, abrogating its laws,
turning children against parents, and neighbors against neighbors. All
with the best of intentions, of course. The road to Hell is paved with
them.
As a practical thinker, one not overly prone to emotional decisions, I
have a choice: I can either believe what the objective pieces of
evidence tell me (even if they make me cringe with disgust); I can
believe what history is shouting to me from across the chasm of seven
decades; or I can hope I am wrong by closing my eyes, having another
latte, and ignoring what is transpiring around me..
I choose to believe the evidence. No doubt some people will scoff at
me, others laugh, or think I am foolish, naive, or both. To some
degree, perhaps I am. But I have never been afraid to look people in
the eye and tell them exactly what I believe-and why I believe it.
I pray I am wrong. I do not think I am. Perhaps the only hope is our
vote in the next elections.

shorter time span than just two terms of the U. S. presidency) it was
rounding up its own citizens, killing others, abrogating its laws,
turning children against parents, and neighbors against neighbors. All
with the best of intentions, of course. The road to Hell is paved with
them.
As a practical thinker, one not overly prone to emotional decisions, I
have a choice: I can either believe what the objective pieces of
evidence tell me (even if they make me cringe with disgust); I can
believe what history is shouting to me from across the chasm of seven
decades; or I can hope I am wrong by closing my eyes, having another
latte, and ignoring what is transpiring around me..
I choose to believe the evidence. No doubt some people will scoff at
me, others laugh, or think I am foolish, naive, or both. To some
degree, perhaps I am. But I have never been afraid to look people in
the eye and tell them exactly what I believe-and why I believe it.
I pray I am wrong. I do not think I am. Perhaps the only hope is our
vote in the next elections.

More 'Civility' from the Loons on the Left
Once again we’re being treated to a dose of civility – left-wing-loon style.
Jason Oda of Brooklyn, NY has developed a video game through his company, Starving Eyes Advertising. The game targets ‘Tea Party Zombies’ and Fox News Personalities and the idea is to kill the targets using firearms and crowbars. Apparently the crowbar is for those who like their violence up close and personal.
Isn’t it ironic that the left hates the one cable network that actually invites guests of opposing views on a regular basis?
This isn’t an anomaly for Oda – he has created videos in the past that targeted former President George W. Bush, Karl Rove, etc.
Some of Oda’s clients are reportedly firms like Pepsi, Hasbro, Sears, UPS and others. Can we expect those firms to pull their business from him in the interest of civility? I’m going to guess they won’t. Will their anticipated lack of correct response indicate they are interested in civility, only with respect to the Right?
Not one to presume too much, I intend on contacting the aforementioned firms and ask them what their official response is to Oda’s video game that clearly fantasizes about violence toward those he doesn’t agree with. Oda clearly has his tiny mind made up and wouldn’t want to be influenced by fact or any suggestion that he is a trifle warped in the head.
In case you might want to contact the companies for yourself I’ve listed their corporate contact information.

What Happened to the Civility the Left Spoke About?
What Happened to the Civility the Left Spoke About?
Apparently when someone like Teamsters President Jimmy Hoffa refers to the Tea Party and tells his supporters to “take these son-of-a-bitches out” it’s ok. When someone simply disagrees with the far left loons, they call it vitriol and a call goes out for civility.
Hoffa used the typical bait and switch of the left by claiming corporate-backed conservatives have started a “war” that is destroying the middle class and he was simply expressing his frustration. He went on to babble something about, he will “never apologize” for standing up for American workers…”
On the outside chance Mr. Hoffa reads my blog (Hey, it could happen), I’ll break this down in simple terms so even a moron like him and his ilk can understand. It’s corporations that donated considerable money to Obama’s campaign. It is Obama who has destroyed this nation and put unemployment at such incredibly high levels. It’s Obama and fools like you who have brought this country to it’s financial knees and left us with no hope of coming out of this mess till after the 2012 elections when Obama will be out of the White House and hopefully out of our hair for good and the healing can begin!
Mr. Hoffa isn’t “standing up for American workers”. This idiot is part of the problem – not part of the solution. He typifies the Chicago mobster mentality and he doesn’t want to see his phony baloney job end. I would opine he and many of his cronies should be in jail; not out threatening Tea Party members – many of whom are members of the union. The difference is those folks have something to gain by getting rid of Obama. It’s called prosperity, dignity and some semblance of security. Hoffa would lose his power and perks that come from your phony job.
Hoffa likes to spew vitriol and use terms like the left is so fond of using, like “anti-worker politicians”. By anti-worker I presume you mean those who aren’t as narrow-minded as the likes of you and want what’s best for the country and their families – not what’s best for Jimmy Hoffa.
In stead of admitting he made a stupid statement while trying to incite his easily influenced followers who follow without questioning the logic of his stupidity, Hoffa deflected his vitriolic statements by claiming he was merely standing up for American Workers. No, you didn’t. Your asinine statement had nothing to do with logic or standing up for American workers. They were meant to work your masses into a violent rage. Hoffa would be the one in the old western town trying to get a lynch mob into a frenzy when it was he who was one of the culprits.
White House spokesman, Jay Carney was asked if President Obama was going to condemn the vitriolic statements of Hoffa. Carney said it was Hoffa, not Obama who made the statements. True enough, but when Congresswoman Gabriella Giffords and others were shot in Tucson he and his ilk were quick to blame the Right, the Tea Party and talk radio for the senseless violence – even though the shooter had no political ties and didn’t listen to talk radio. In short – Loughner, the shooter was simply a whack-job.
Sandy Pope, one of Hoffa’s two opponents for the general presidency for the Teamsters says she sees no reason for Hoffa to apologize, either. Pope told Fox News, “I understand people want to tone things down, but no one is following those rules right now.” No one from your side, anyway, Ms. Pope.
When Democratic National Committee chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz was asked if she condemned the statements by Hoffa she refused to do so.
So, do we see a pattern here? I certainly do.
I’m tired of the double standard the left has and I’m even more tired of the Democrat party leadership who is willing to throw America under the bus, so long as it advances the liberal agenda. It’s time we hold their feet to the fire and hold them accountable.
I won’t say we need to “Take the son-of-a-bitches out.” I say we just need to vote them out. And I won’t apologize for standing up for America, Jimmy.

Summary of the President's upcoming speech de jour
Summary of the President’s Upcoming Speech
I know many of you, like myself are fearful that President Obama’s speech de jour may interrupt any quality TV you might have in mind.
Fear not; I’ll summarize his speech for you:
• We need to raise taxes on the rich (of which he is among that group by his own definition) because they aren’t paying their fair share. Never mind the fact the wealthiest 1% earn only 19% of the income but pay 37% of all income taxes. The top 10% pay 68% of all taxes paid! The bottom 50% earns 13% of all income but only pays 3% of the taxes.
• We need to tighten our belts and sacrifice for the good of all – albeit the President can be counted on to not sacrifice anything for the good of all.
• We need more stimulus money for those who actually earn money to provide $millions of dollars to invest in the infrastructure to create as many as 14 jobs.
There ya go. You’re welcome.

Is Joe Biden dumb?
Recently Politico (not known to be a bastion of unbiased reporting) posed the question, “Is Governor Rick Perry dumb?”
The headline was clearly intended to be inflammatory and to put Perry, ala Sarah Palin, in a bad light. It was meant to make Perry appear stupid. If Perry is stupid and Obama is brilliant I’ll take stupid over brilliant. By the way, where are Obama’s college transcripts? We’ve heard much about them but I’ve not seen them published. All of the far-left loons have no trouble finding the dirt on Perry, Bush and Palin but they are seemingly unable to find anything substantive on Obama. Inquiring minds want to know where the dirt is. Hell, they could find dirt on the Pope and Shirley Temple if it furthered their far left agenda.
I also wonder why it is (rhetorically, of course), we’ve not seen headlines asking, Is Joe Biden too dumb? It’s not exactly a secret that Biden is a human gaff factory that’s working over time.
In his recent visit to China Biden sort of got his talking points on debt a bit wrong. He claimed Americans own 85% of the U.S. Treasury securities. Wrongo, Ol’ Joe. Americans only own about 54% of the public debt.
Certainly I don’t mean to question the integrity of the left loons. OK, that’s a lie. I fully mean to question their integrity. If you’re a liberal politician and you’re scratching your head, trying to figure out what it means go to the dictionary or ask someone like Marco Rubio or Governor Christie.

Finally, the President and I agree on something!
It appears President Obama and I finally agree on something.
He said, "...that after three years, if the economy wasn't fixed he shouldn't be President."
Glad you won't have any hard feelings (particularly since you've become quite rich and have exploited the tax-paying American people for all you could get).
