World Series

I am not a true baseball fan but I am a sports fan. Man I love this World Series. Any time that a game can be determined by the pitcher alone, is awesome.

The economy has turned around, or has it?

For the first time in nearly two years the GDP is up. Woohoo. However, how true is that figure? Unemployment is near 10%, interest rates from the Fed have flat-lined, debt has passed one trillion dollars. The problem here is that the "good news" is propped up by bad actions. Cash for Clunkers, flat interest rates, Government stimulus all of these aspects are UNSUSTAINABLE. What does that mean? That this growth, is fake. It is a misrepresentation of current situations for the "hope" that it makes people feel good. Remember, Obama Money is YOUR MONEY. Ask yourself this, what has all this stimulus and redistribution done to help your personal situation.

GW hid an EPA email.

Well it finally came out, the Bush Administration had emails from the EPA on global warming that proclaimed there was a chance certain emissions were potentially killing people. What the email probably didn’t say is that the EPA has been vastly inaccurate in the past with such proclamations. But why focus on that when you can simply say “see, Bush was bad”. Liar, liar pants on fire Opps EPA: http://philadelphia.bizjournals.com/philadelphia/stories/2009/05/11/daily21.html http://domesticfuel.com/2009/07/02/epa-official-wrong-on-ethanol-and-biodiesel-yields/ http://www.lre.usace.army.mil/_kd/Items/actions.cfm?action=Show&item_id=3269&destination=ShowItem http://www.takoma.com/archives/copy/2004/03/epa.html http://www.computertakeback.com/recycling/Whats_Wrong_With_R2.pdf http://www.worldclimatereport.com/index.php/2009/06/16/does-epa-have-the-wrong-gas/ http://www.heritage.org/Press/FactSheet/fs0034.cfm http://www2.fluoridealert.org/Pollution/Aluminum-Industry/Eastalco-claims-EPA...

So you really like that European democracy do yah

So we claim to be fond of the European style of democracy and pseudo-socialism. Everyone works equally, gets paid equally and all things are just. They are just, just not accurate. London has led a bandwagon of simply ignoring debt to cover social progress. It was always viewed as "the debt will figure itself out", well..it hasn't. Now London finds itself in quite a predicament. It needs to drum up money and the preferred method, selling off property and assets. Now when a business begins this process it is called 'liquidation' and is usually a pre-cursor to bankruptcy and overall failure. But, hey, social progress is awesome and the ends justify the means. Right? London Bridge is Falling Down

Why ACORN should worry everyone.

Any corporation of good size has corruption. It is inevitable, on one level or another. This is because whenever you put large groups together under the guise of a common cause, for PROFIT, you will have issues. There is no corporation or government organization in the United States of America that doesn't have some level of corruption somewhere within the organization. Now does that mean you wreck the 'system' or 'corporation' to rid the 15% or less that could be problematic, of course not. But you do remove the issues when you find them and make adjustments to, at least, attempt to remove the possibility in the future. Now when FOXNews runs over 300 stories talking about ACORN corruption, this is misleading as it would lead you to believe the entire entity was problematic (ENRON-esque). When any logical person would conclude "there are bad apples in every bunch". What should enrage individuals/citizens is the fact that most news agencies (or groups calli...

Just in from CNN

Health care costs more now than it did 10 years ago. Wow, really? Nobody ever said it wasn't expensive and needed a cost fix (cough, lawyers, cough). People don't want the government to run it. Why is that so hard for liberals to get? Maybe they need to read what Hitler and Facists were pimping in the 20-30's...shocker...HEALTHCARE and the ENVIRONMENT....woohoo.

Yup, everything you say or do about Obama is racist

http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/politics/2009/09/15/quijano.tea.party.racial.cnn Yup...that's right. So there were some SERIOUS Uncle Tom's with Bush then.

Great Book.

This book really illustrates how America has the long term memory of a Goldfish, personally I blame reality TV :) The book takes a deep look at America in the 1920-30's per WWII and reviews America's collective opinion on Progressivisim, Socialisim, Nazisim and Facisim. You'll be surprised.

We the People, can solve the Health Care issue....

How to solve the Health Care issues in the United States of America. To solve the problem of “health care” in the USA we must first define the problem. The conditioned problem has been access and costs. To address these two primary concerns you must first address the three elements that control them, namely: Pharmaceuticals, Litigation, Tax-funded option. In this white paper we will discuss, in brief but thoroughly, how to address the health care issue as defined above. Tax-funded Option Much like with the public school system, public library, trash and recycling services the public in mass has agreed that some social needs are attainable under a Capitalist society. In keeping with this tradition that some help to the masses from the masses is sustainable in a Capitalist environment we suggest the following: Tiered- Health Care Service. Tier I: Tier I applies to children under the age of 18. This service would be entirely taxpayer paid for children that cannot be covered under other ti...

Send this letter to your senator!

Dear Senator, As you may or may not be aware the majority of US Citizens are NOT in favor of the Administrations proposed Health Care Plan. This plan, adds an insane level of complexity to the health care system and in this removes my ability to choose the insurance I want, to petition companies the way in which I want and to access the services I want without some level of Government interference. The secondary issue with this proposed effort is the cost. There is no fixed answer on cost. President Obama has failed drastically to show where and how this insane level of spending will come from. “Taxing the rich” as is commonly thrown around on the hill and by the administration is NOT ACCEPTABLE. The highest paid 5% in the US pay over 30% of the income tax, the top 50% pay 94% of the income tax, this is BY NO MEANS FAIR! When did the United States of America encourage the methodology of “tax the other guy as long as it isn’t me”. This is non-sense. However the cost and the loss of pers...

Own up to your faults

It is amazing that people insist on throwing sand back and forth in the sandbox. "Well we may suck but you did to", what kind of 3rd grade argument is that? And CNN, primary Ruben Navarrette...keeps it going. Try to be an adult # Story Highlights # Ruben Navarrette: Obama administration mishandled health debate # He says president hasn't been clear on what he wants or how to pay for it # He says Republicans blame Obama for spending without admitting their own role # Navarrette: Republicans botched efforts to reform Social Security

Welcome to the folks that WROTE your stimulus package

Health Care "Town Halls"

You couldn't ask for more vindication for the working class. Watching elite Senators sit in a state of confusion because they can't understand why the people they work for are so tired of their non-sense. The vast majority of town hall meetings to discuss health care, since Congress left for the summer, have ended in devastation with..in come cases..congresspersons being escorted away from their own event by police. I'm not advocating violence by any means but it is nice to see people finally get off the couch and express their opinion. It is also amazing to watch the Democratic and Liberal media try to say "the GOP or RNC is setting this up" cause God knows, someone with a 51% approval rating and a Congress with a 30% approval rating can't have any enemies. Wake up already.

Societies Dregs

As a nation the US now seems hell bent on supporting the lowest common denominator. Individuals who, without personal discretion, spent more than they had, lived a very socialist lifestyle sucking off the tit of others and now the government using the tax dollars of responsible individuals to pay for it. The vast majority of income tax is paid by the top 5% earners in the US, 94% of all income tax is paid by the top 50%. How about we STOP scrapping the bottom of the barrel and lowering the bar of success to allow failure to be rewarded. Individual bankruptcy was up 34% last month. So with all this stimulus, where are those individuals "bailouts"? I guess they can make up part of our 10% unemployment now. It truly amazes me how people can have a high approval rating of this administration when they have assisted in double digit unemployment and a 13.5+% deficit spending (it was 4% when Bush left office, so you can't blame them..sorry). I can only imagine what this place wi...

Happy Fourth of July to all.

Remember: IN CONGRESS, July 4, 1776. The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America, When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institu...

Father & Son

Father's Day is tomorrow and I can't help but think about my dad. I look back on his life and his times and I am constantly amazed. The things this man saw and the events he went through are substantial. This is a man that was born in the 1940's. In his youth he saw the close of World War II, the Korean War, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the assassination of a US President, a man on the moon, Vietnam, the dawn of technology, the birth of the Internet and numerous other universal events that I had to read about in a history book for the most part. I think about my father often. The life he lived and lives, the things he has seen and the things he has overcome. My dad was born the son of a Marine in the bowels of South Philadelphia. He spent his days going to Catholic school and playing stick-ball, basketball and any other sport with his friends. He started working when he was barely a teen. Unlike today's youth he didn't complain about having to work at the age of 16 or ...

15K tax credit for ALL home buyers

So regardless of income, you'd get it. This is a GREAT idea. At some point this nation has got to start rewarding those amongst us (the vast majority actually) that paid their bills and live within their means. For to long we've been playing second fiddle to the failures of society. The odds of a responsible person making responsible choices with a 15k tax credit is far more probably than a person who got in a loan for much more than they could afford with no plan of paying it back. Simply bailing out foreclosure after foreclosure is and endless cycle of stupidity. Finally someone in Congress has realized you can not routinely punish successful and responsible individuals. Good on yah

Politcal funny

A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost. She lowered her altitude and spotted a man in a boat below. She shouted to him, "Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don't know where I am." The man consulted his portable GPS and replied, "You're in a hot air balloon, approximately 30 feet above a ground elevation of 2,346 feet above sea level. You are at 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north latitude and 100 degrees, 49.09 minutes west longitude. "She rolled her eyes and said, "You must be a Republican." "I am," replied the man.. "How did you know?" "Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is technically correct. But I have no idea what to do with your information, and I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help to me." The man smiled and responded, "You must be an Obama Democrat." "I am," replied the balloonist. ...

what I think I think

What I think I think: I see all these notes flying around on CNN and other 'news' (used loosely) agencies that say "America - how can it repair its image with Muslims?". Hmm, well how about the fact that a recent poll said 1 in 5 (yes only 20%) of Americans had a favorable view of Muslim countries. Kind of hard to have an outward 'happy face' when internally you hate the person. Maybe we should stop caring about what other groups/countries think about us until we get our house in order. If 80% of citizens don't particularly like a group, you need to fix that first and find out why that is before you being fake patches to make everyone feel good. If you're American what have you got on the bad corner: 1) 9/11 terrorist attacks which killed more people than Pearl Harbor 2) Beheading of US citizens 3) 2 attacks on the World Trade Center 4) Bombings of US embassies in Africa 5) Constant threats against Israel (a US ally) 6) Moves towards Nuclear weapons 7)...
