Local Auto News: Chrysler looking at Bankruptcy

A pretty sad thing to wake up today. However, I am sorry to say this, but I knew it was coming. Chrysler never was able to get their act together; unlike G.M. and get a resolution together.

The Report comes via the Washington Post, I won’t quote the whole thing and I kindly ask that you go over and read the whole thing. But rather, I will give some my impressions from the interesting stuff.

My impressions:

The Obama administration last night planned to send Chrysler into bankruptcy, replace chief executive Robert L. Nardelli and pump billions of dollars more into the effort, all in hopes the company can emerge from court proceedings as a reenergized competitor in the global economy.

Government officials clung to 11th-hour hopes last night that bankruptcy could be averted, but talks broke down with Chrysler’s creditors. A bankruptcy filing could happen as soon as today.

The U.S. government’s attempt to save the automaker amounts to another extraordinary intervention in the economy and a landmark event in the history of the American auto industry.

Under the administration’s detailed court strategy, ownership of Chrysler would be dramatically reorganized, the leadership of Italian automaker Fiat would take over company management and the U.S. and Canadian governments would contribute more than $10 billion in additional funding.

Company and government officials had feared that a bankruptcy would stain the brand, shake customer confidence and erode sales, but the administration said it would seek to use the process to create a new Chrysler company. Its ownership would be divided, with the company’s union retiree health fund receiving a 55 percent stake, Fiat would claim as much as a 35 percent share and the United States would take 8 percent. The Canadian government would receive two percent.

Basically this is what General Motors did voluntarily. Minus the Fiat equation, of course. It is a tough break that the creditors, bond holders, and company management could not come together to an agreement.  The main and good thing is, that the automaker, itself, will be saved, and that American jobs will be saved.

Now comes the part that will make people like Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Michelle Malkin, and the rest of the far right wing people howl at the moon:

The automaker’s current majority owner, the private-equity firm Cerberus Capital Management, would have its holdings wiped out.

Now, to be fair; I will report the truth about this holdings company. This company, from what I have read and have been told; is notorious for buying up struggling companies, like Chrysler and shutting them down and selling off the assets to make money. They have done this in past, from what I told. So, while I hate to see anyone lose their money. I actually am glad to see Chrysler being taken away from this company.

Let me also say this. As an Conservative, who believes in “America First”, and believes that business sometimes have to fail; I am not exactly jumping for joy, when it comes to fact that this auto company is having taxpayer dollars being pumped into it. Nor am I happy at the fact, that a US automaker is having a foreign auto company’s management taking over its operations. However, I believe we must be realistic about such matters. We are not living in the 1950’s any longer, we are in a economic recession of monumental proportions, and if we do not drastic measures quickly, we could see a total collapse of the American auto industry. I also know that there is a undeniable truth that “as Detroit goes, so goes America.” Pat Buchanan and I, have been saying this all along; if allow the big three or in this case, the big two to disappear our Nation’s economy would go into free fall. I shudder in absolute horror at the thought of the far reaching implications of such an event.

I will say, as a devout Paleo-Conservative; If we would have rejected the globalism of the Rockefeller-type conservative types and would have imposed strict trade restrictions on Japanese and other such foreign automotive products, these auto companies would not be in the position that they are today.  It is because of the Rockefeller-type, Madison Avenue, Neo-Conservatives, whose mantra is “screw the American middle class”, is the reason we are in this position today.  Further more, it is the reason that the world is also partaking in our recession as well.  Perhaps President Obama will see the state of our globalist economy and will rethink his position on NAFTA and TAFTA and the rest of those toxic free trade agreements that are in place; and impose strict tariffs on imports that are bleeding our economy dry.

Realistically however, I highly doubt that President Obama will do any of that, because he is trying to run as a centrist, or as I like to call it; he is sucking up to the Neo-Conservative right, as they are his biggest supporters, strangely, after trying so very hard to defeat him in the election. Of course, we Paleo-Conservatives know why this is; because the only difference between a Neo-Conservative and a Democrat is the letter next to the name.

More that Liberal Tolerance at work!

This is just unbelievable. The Story via Fox News:

Miss North Carolina Kristen Dalton was crowned Miss USA on Sunday, but the big story to come out of the normally politics-free telecast was Miss California’s comments regarding gay marriage.

When asked by judge Perez Hilton, an openly gay gossip blogger, whether she believed in gay marriage, Miss California, Carrie Prejean, said "We live in a land where you can choose same-sex marriage or opposite. And you know what, I think in my country, in my family, I think that I believe that a marriage should be between a man and a woman. No offense to anybody out there, but that’s how I was raised."

Keith Lewis, who runs the Miss California competition, tells FOXNews.com that he was "saddened" by Prejean’s statement.

"As co-director of the Miss California USA, I am personally saddened and hurt that Miss California believes marriage rights belong only to a man and a woman," said Lewis in a statement. "I believe all religions should be able to ordain what unions they see fit. I do not believe our government should be able to discriminate against anyone and religious beliefs have no politics in the Miss California family."

Here’s the video of Kristen being asked the question: (H/T Malkin)

Here’s what the self hating, morally depraved, faggot moron Perez Hilton; (Which is not even his real name, his real name is Mario Armando Lavandeira, Jr.) having his little emotional break down about her answer:

Yeah, I bet he needs as cock in his tail alright. The idiot faggot piece of shit. Angry

Some more fun, here’s the idiot over on the ultra liberal MSNBC, which is a slime bucket of self hating liberal swine anymore, basically, not only calling this poor woman a bitch, but also a cunt as well: (H/T Malkin

Honestly folks? I have zero clue why I used to vote for Democrats. They promote, enable, fund, you name it, they give it to these kind of idiots. Which is why, everyday that I blog about the misdeeds and outright idiotic nonsense that these slime ball bastards pull; it just further cements my convictions that I will never, ever, vote for a socialist Liberal Democrat, ever again.  This goes well beyond the scope of Liberalism, this is just outright cutting someone off at the knees, because of their personal convictions. That is fascism, at it’s finest.

I am so glad my eyes were opened about these people. I mean, My God. No wonder MSNBC’s rates are going through the floor! The American people, who are largely “Right of Center”, will see this and think, “Wow! They stole this woman’s crown, because she has morals!” Not only this, whatever happened to the tolerance of the Liberal left, of other people’s opinions? I guess that has been replaced with the Political Correctness of the socialist far left. We may as well be living either in Communist Russia or in Hitler’s Germany.  

I used to really despise Jonah Goldberg, because of the book that he wrote, but now, I believe he was absolutely right. We’re a sadder, more dangerous Country for it too. Sad

Obama gets his butt handed to him, by some douche nozzle named Ortega

Oh, the jokes just continue to write themselves:

President Obama endured a 50-minute diatribe from socialist Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega that lashed out at a century of what he called terroristic U.S. aggression in Central America and included a rambling denunciation of the U.S.-imposed isolation of Cuba’s Communist government.

Obama sat mostly unmoved during the speech but at times jotted notes. The speech was part of the opening ceremonies at the fifth Summit of the Americas here.

Later, at a photo opportunity with Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Obama held his tongue when asked what he thought about Ortega’s speech.

“It was 50 minutes long. That’s what I thought.”

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton ignored two questions about Ortega’s speech, instead offering lengthy praise of a cultural performance of dance and song opening the summit.

“I thought the cultural performance was fascinating,” Clinton said. Asked again about the Ortega speech, Clinton said: “To have those first class Caribbean entertainers on all on one stage and to see how much was done in such a small amount of space, I was overwhelmed.”

Is that the best that President Bambi Teleprompter can do? Seriously. Can he not form a thought of his own, without his speech writer doing it for him? The Neo-NeoCon basically said that the best position that Obama is suited for is the U.N. ambassador. Actually, I think he would be better suited as a White House shoe shine boy myself. But that’s just me. I mean, considering that the fact he has the political weight of a Harlem globetrotter. Considering what Chavez, Gordon Brown and others have said, what little credibility we do have left is being squandered by political neophyte.

Of course, when a white Conservative like me, makes little comments like that, we’re slandered as racist bigots. To be fair, the G.O.P is not much better, they also installed a Harlem Globetrotter as well; as their party’s new President. I said it before, and I’ll say it again. We lost to “That one” why put “One of those” in, as the Party leader? Just did not make any sense to me. Considering his performance here as of late, I believe the Republican Party is about thoroughly screwed for the next four to eight years. However to be fair, you cannot blame at all on President Bush, the Republican Party has been trending more Progressive since the 1960’s. The proverbial “Chickens” came home to roost after Bush won, that’s all.

Worst thing that ever happened to the Republican Party, was when they starting sucking up to the “Religious right.” This caused topics like Homosexuality and Abortion to become “Hot Button” topics, which was one of the worst mistakes they ever made. How a party can espouse the tenants of limited Government out of one corner of their mouths and then preach a doctrine of control over a woman’s and a man’s body out of the other, is very much beyond me. Which is why I will never join the Republican Party. You cannot have it both ways, you either believe in limited government or you believe in overreaching Government control, which is a byproduct of a Statist doctrine.

Further more, another horrible tragedy that occurred in the Republican Party, is the whole “Go along to get along” mentality and the whole embracing of diversity; which took place after the Neo-Conservative Jews took control of the Republican Party in the mid 1960’s away from the Old Right, which held it for years. The sad part was they used underhanded tricks and baseless lies to fulfill their agenda.  By smearing great American institutions like the John Birch Society and sidelining them, they were able to pursue their Zionist agenda uninterrupted. The sick part was, they did it using one of the oldest liberal tricks in the book; by playing the race card.  But their many years of control is now starting to slip away from them, because of the inane stupidity of the George W. Bush Administration, their influence and power has been greatly diminished in the Republican Party.  I predict within the next four years, that the influence of the that section of the Republican Party is going to be all but irrelevant by 2012. There will be a more moderate and possibly even more Paleo-Conservative leader than will rise up and take the Republican Party back from the former fascist liberals that controlled it for so long.

I just hope, for the sake the Republican Party and for the sake of the spirit of the old right, that I am not mistaken.

D'oh! President Obama gets a book from Chevez that slams the US

The Jokes write themselves people….. Via Jack Tapper:

At President Obama’s meeting with the heads of South American countries this morning, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez stood, walked over to him, and presented him with a copy of “Open Veins of Latin America: Five Centuries of the Pillage of a Continent” by Uruguayan author Eduardo Galeano.

Obama politely posed for a photograph with Chavez, shook his hand, and accepted the gift.

The book, first published in Spanish in 1971, offers a critique of the consequences of 500 years of European and U.S. colonization of Latin America.

APTOPIX CB Trinidad Americas Summit Obama
More Hope and Change? (and Communism?)

Galeano writes that while the era of “lodes of gold” and “mountains of silver” has passed, “our region still works as a menial laborer. It continues to exist at the service of others’ needs, as a source of oil and iron, of copper and meat, of fruit and coffee, the raw materials and foods destined for rich countries which profit more from consuming them than Latin America does from producing them.”

At another point in the book, Galeano writes: “Our defeat was always implicit in the victory of others; our wealth has always generated our poverty by nourishing the prosperity of others.”

The book also criticizes the U.S. for “spreading and imposing family planning. … In Latin America it is more hygienic and effective to kill future guerillas in the womb that in the mountains or the streets.

First he shakes hands with this idiot and now he gets a book from a Communist, that basically insults America and our values system, and basically capitalism in general; and he takes it and smiles. The book, from what I have read is basically a book full of Anti American sentiment and is filled with marxist rantings. In fact, the book, when it was first published, was banned in Uruguay and Chile. What does that tell you?

I tell ya folks, this President is going to give we Conservatives material to write with for many years to come. That is, if Obama and his marxist do not shut down blogs altogether for fear of his Administration being criticized.

So much for that talking point!

I guess President Bambi Teleprompter will have to change his script again:

There’s no dispute that thousands of handguns, military style rifles and other firearms are purchased in the U.S. and end up in the hands of Mexican criminals each year. It’s relatively easy to buy such guns legally in Texas and other border states and to smuggle them across.

But is it true as President Obama said, that “More than 90 percent of the guns recovered in Mexico come from the United States?” No, it’s not.

The figure represents only the percentage of crime guns that have been submitted by Mexican officials and traced by U.S. officials. We can find no hard data on the total number of guns actually “recovered in Mexico,” but U.S. and Mexican officials both say that Mexico recovers more guns than it submits for tracing. Therefore, the percentage of guns “recovered” and traced to U.S. sources necessarily is less than 90 percent.

Furthermore, the 90 percent figure is based on a badly biased sample of all Mexican crime guns. Law enforcement officials say Mexico asks the U.S. to trace only those guns with serial numbers or other markings that indicate they are likely to have come though the U.S.

Fox News has put the percentage at only 17 percent, but we find that to be based on a mistaken assumption that throws its figure way off. We can’t offer a precise calculation because we know of no hard information on the total number of guns Mexican officials have recovered. But if a rough figure given by Mexico’s attorney general is accurate, then the actual percentage of all Mexican crime guns traced to U.S. sources is probably less than half what the president claims, and more than double what Fox news has reported.

via FactCheck.org: Counting Mexico’s Guns.

Leave it to a group of people, who actually have held position, say longer than a year; unlike our feckless President, to poke a huge hole in the Liberal MeMe that all the guns in Mexico and are coming from America. Interestingly enough, Fox News got disproved as well. Considering who owns them, I am not surprised at all. The truth of the matter is, and no one will say this; but I will. Most of those guns are coming Russia’s black market, and then are being shipped down through Mexico’s open borders.

So, it looks like the Liberal Democrats are going to have to find someone else to blame for Mexico’s gun problem and not us “Right Wing Extremists”, that the DHS just loves talking about. 😀

Next time someone tries to tell you that Liberals are not fascists, Show 'em this.

This is absolutely disgusting:

CHAPEL HILL — UNC-CH police released pepper spray and threatened to use a Taser on student protesters Tuesday evening when a crowd disrupted a speech by former Colorado congressman Tom Tancredo opposing in-state tuition benefits to unauthorized immigrants.

Hundreds of protesters converged on Bingham Hall, shouting profanities and accusations of racism while Tancredo and the student who introduced him tried to speak. Minutes into the speech, a protester pounded a window of the classroom until the glass shattered, prompting Tancredo to flee and campus police to shut down the event.

Tancredo was brought to campus by a UNC chapter of Youth for Western Civilization, a national organization of students who oppose mass immigration, multiculturalism and affirmative action.

Before the event, campus security removed two women who delayed Tancredo’s speech by stretching a 12-foot banner across the front of the classroom. It read, “No dialogue with hate.”

Police escorted the women into the hallway, amid more than 30 protesters who clashed with the officers trying to keep them out of the overcrowded classroom. After police released pepper spray and threatened the crowd with a Taser, the protesters gathered outside Bingham Hall.

Police spokesman Randy Young said the pepper spray was “broadcast” to clear the hallway. He said officers’ use of force was under investigation by the department.

Inside the classroom, several student protesters screamed curses at Tancredo and Riley Matheson, president of the UNC-Chapel Hill chapter of Youth for Western Civilization.

“This is the free speech crowd, right?” Tancredo joked.

I think if the police acted more like the guard did at Kent State, we would not have the problems we’re having today. These Liberal fascists are a disgrace to America. Yet the DHS released a report, calling we Conservatives terrorists? What about these people? Are they not terrorising this campus?

You see now, why I left the fascist Democrats? 😡

Those are OBAMA’S people folks, those people voted for Obama, a radical President, with radical followers.

The Southern Avenger on "War is Generational Theft"

I post this with a little bit of a note. While I agree with Jack on the subject of Iraq. I disagree on Afghanistan. I believe that the war there can be won, if it is one properly. The problem is, President Obama will most likely not want to fight it properly; and because of the stupidity of the Bush Administration, we have most likely squandered our chances of winning that war without the possibility of large amounts of American Deaths.

Having said that, here’s the Video:

I do not normally surf the lefty Blogs often, but when I do, I find gems like this:

Tobacco tax affects mentally ill

By Peggy O’Farrell • pofarrell@enquirer.com • April 12, 2009

In general, Robert Anthenelli is a fan of cigarette tax increases.

When Kentucky doubled its tobacco tax earlier this month, Anthenelli, director of the TriState Tobacco and Alcohol Research Center at the University of Cincinnati, praised the move, believing it would push some current smokers to quit and keep some youth from starting.

But the tax increases burden one group not usually high on anyone’s radar: The seriously mentally ill.

“These tax increases have unintended consequences, especially for the seriously mentally ill, people with schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar disorder,” Anthenelli said. “They smoke at rates three to four times the general population, and they can ill-afford the tax increase. They’re mostly on fixed incomes.”

Anthenelli said that with their degree of addiction they’re going to be most adversely affected by these kinds of tax increases.

If you really want people to quit put the money in smoking cessation and improvement in quality of life for the poor. This is just an easy out tax because Obama decided to let Bush’s tax cut expire on its own. It is really cowardly. I really wouldn’t have voted if I had known he would do this.

via Open Left.

Hmmmmm… What about actually wanting to improve the health of the mentally ill, by forcing them to stop smoking by increasing the amount that they have to pay. Sooner of later, either they’ll hopefully figure it out or their caretakers would explain to them, that if they don’t quit they will go broke.

Besides all that, whatever happened to the liberal idea of the state controlling every aspect of everyone’s life. Could it be that there is dissension in the ranks of Hope and Change? Wow. Color me shocked! 😮

Besides that whole idea of improvement of quality of life; what the hell do they want, a fluffy pillow??!? Listen, I’ve been out of work since 2005, because in a time of desperation and because I thought it was a really cool idea at the time. I took advantage of the Liberal Democrats Social programs and you want to know what it did for me??!?! Nothing! That’s right, not a DAMNED THING!  So, I sit here, and I blog, because there’s no fucking jobs around here, because of the Democrats stupid bullshit of taxing small business and because of the fucking housing crisis and Wall Street’s meltdown. So, don’t hand me no stupid fucking bullshit about improvement of the quality of life for some idiot fucking mental midget okay? ‘Cause I ain’t fucking buying it. I say, if they cannot afford to buy the damn smokes, let ’em quit cold turkey, LIKE I HAD TO, WHEN I RAN OUT OF MONEY!

Them liberals man, I’ll tell ya! 🙄 fucking leeches, all they are… Gimmie Gimmie Gimme and a fluffy pillow to boot! 😡

Update: (fixed rather stupid typo… gotta slow down a little and write stuff properly…. Yeeesh…)

President Teleprompter tries to take credit for Navy Seal rescue

This is just too rich, the Washington Post in it’s slobbering love affair with the Teleprompter in Chief is now trying to say that Obama is directly responsible for the rescue of the Ship Captain. Here’s the slobbering quote, if you can stomach such tripe:

It was one of the earliest tests of the new American president — a small military operation off the coast of a Third World nation. But as President Bill Clinton found out in October 1993, even minor failures can have long-lasting consequences.

Clinton’s efforts to land a small contingent of troops in Haiti were rebuffed, for the world to see, by a few hundred gun-toting Haitians. As the USS Harlan County retreated, so did the president’s reputation.

For President Obama, last week’s confrontation with Somali pirates posed similar political risks to a young commander in chief who had yet to prove himself to his generals or his public.

But the result — a dramatic and successful rescue operation by U.S. Special Operations forces — left Obama with an early victory that could help build confidence in his ability to direct military actions abroad.

Throughout the past four days, White House officials played down Obama’s role in the hostage drama. Until yesterday, he made no public statements about the pirates.

In fact, aides said yesterday, Obama had been briefed 17 times since he returned from his trip abroad, including several times from the White House Situation Room. And without giving too many details, senior White House officials made it clear that Obama had provided the authority for the rescue.

It goes on a bit, but I am not going to quote any more of it. Sweet Jesus on a tea bag already! They act like Obama was the one with the gun, and who pulled the trigger. Heck, even Marc Ambinder knows the real deal and even HE sees the stupidity in the WaPo’s Article, Mark weighs in:

Perhaps I’m reading this wrong, but I’m fairly certain that the pirate drama and its resolution says absolutely nothing about President Obama. You could make the case that the White House wants to show that Obama is deliberate and cautious when it comes to authorizing military force — fine — but this was a hostage rescue mission, the U.S. has specially-trained counterterrorist forces for precisely this sort of thing, and military aciton was almost inevitable. Really, what this weekend’s drama was, was a test of the National Command Authority, the NSC’s ability to communicate with commanders in the crisis, and some good field training for Navy SEALs.

Thank you sweet baby Jesus, for someone with a ounce of clarity! Someone in the Main Stream Media has an once of brain!

Okay, fine, I will give President Bambi Teleprompter a little credit, he gave the order, big fucking deal! It was the Navy Seals that did the fucking job. That fucking Magic Negro did not do a fucking thing, except pet his fucking dog and admire himself in the fucking mirror until the job was done. So liberals, wise the hell up, okay? Quit trying to make your little plastic messiah more than he really is, okay? Because honestly, the rest of thinking America is getting a little sick from the smell of the fucking manure your spreading. Seriously.

The painfully and quite cynically obligatory Anti-Tea Party posting

This is why I do not go to protests. Because I happen to think that they’re pointless. I mean, seriously, what do they change? Nothing. The Obama Administration is going to do what the hell they want to do. My point is, why bother? Anyhow, Some Conservatives and liberals held protests.  A liberal blogger got caught on video saying that the tea parties are financed by Fox News, Conservative Bloggers snickered and she responded; personally, I don’t believe Fox is financing anything, but rather more like cashing in on populist outrage. Mainly because it is something, anything, that is Anti-Barack Obama. Because he’s like this Muslim Terrorist Liberal President that they hate with the flames of fire, mainly because he is black a Liberal.

So, as you can see, my Give-a-fuck meter is like at zero. When it comes to this stuff.

Although, I will say this, I happen to think that Jane Hamsher is quite hot, and I will most likely be having fantasies about have hot, nasty sex with her for a few weeks now. I don’t give a rip if she is a liberal; I’m sorry, I’d hurt that, badly. In fact, when I got done with her, she’d be walking funny and would have white stuff running out of her nose and would be saying “FireDogWhat?” 😉 😛 😀
