Quote of the Day

The real entitlements are never mentioned. The “defense” budget is an entitlement for the military-security complex about which President Eisenhower warned us 50 years ago. A person has to be crazy to believe that the United States, “the world’s only superpower,” protected by oceans on its East and West and by puppet states on its North and South, needs a “defense” budget larger than the military spending of the rest of the world combined.

The military budget is nothing but an entitlement for the military-security complex. To hide this fact, the entitlement is disguised as protection against “enemies” and passed through the Pentagon.

I say cut out the middleman and simply allocate a percentage of the federal budget to the military-security complex. This way we won’t have to concoct reasons for invading other countries and go to war in order for the military-security complex to get its entitlement. It would be a lot cheaper just to give them the money outright, and it would save a lot of lives and grief at home and abroad.

The U.S. invasion of Iraq had nothing whatsoever to do with American national interests. It had to do with armaments profits and with eliminating an obstacle to Israeli territorial expansion. The cost of the war, aside from the $3 trillion, was over 4,000 dead Americans, over 30,000 wounded and maimed Americans, tens of thousands of broken American marriages and lost careers, 1 million dead Iraqis, 4 million displaced Iraqis and a destroyed country.

All of this was done for the profits of the military-security complex and to make paranoid Israel, armed with 200 nuclear weapons, feel “secure.”

My proposal would make the military-security complex even more wealthym as the companies would get the money without having to produce the weapons. Instead, all the money could go for multimillion dollar bonuses and dividend payouts to shareholders. No one, at home or abroad, would have to be killed, and the taxpayer would be better off.

The Huffington Post links to Moi?

Color me shocked and quite amazed. 😯

I guess my posting on Laura Ingraham and Bill O’Reilly having an On-The-Air spat was noticed by Huffpo and they even linked here.

Wow. 😮

I would have much preferred a direct quote or something. But hey, it’s free traffic and I will take it, when I can get it.

I guess that marble-mouthed woman that runs that site ain’t so bad after all. She’d be much better, if she’d take an English course; but I digress.

Now, if Glenn Beck would just notice me, I’d be living on easy street. 😉 😛

Obama says, ‘Less Talk, More Action!’

I really hate to be the one to mock the President, but when Mr.’ Magic One’, does stuff like this; it is quite hard not to.

This story from the politico is quite amusing:

COPENHAGEN — A visibly angry Barack Obama threw down the gauntlet at China and other developing nations Friday, declaring that the time has come “not to talk but to act” on climate change.

Emerging from a multinational meeting boycotted by Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao, Obama warned delegates that U.S. offers of funding for poor nations would remain on the table “if and only if” developing nations, including China, agreed to international monitoring of their greenhouse gas emissions.

“I have to be honest, as the world watches us … I think our ability to take collective action is in doubt and it hangs in the balance,” Obama told the COP-15 plenary session as hope faded for anything more than a vague political agreement.

“The time for talk is over, this is the bottom line: We can embrace this accord, take a substantial step forward. We can do that, and everyone who is in this room will be part of an historic endeavor, or we can choose delay,” he said.

Here is the video:

The problem here is that the President looks and sounds more like a spoiled rotten brat, who is obviously not getting his way with the World Community on Global Warming. Since the outing of the e-mails by the global warming fanatics, which show an obvious attempt to cover up data, it appears that the rest of the world is just not signing on to this idiotic nonsense. The only thing that the President of the United States is accomplishing is making the United States of America look like egotistical idiots. Before anyone brings it up in the comments section; Yes, I know, Bush did much of the same thing, during the Iraq War, I criticized him for it as well.

I will be honest with you; I am all for caring for the planet and keep the environment clean. The problem I have with it is that the science data is incomplete; further, the entire environment issue and the global warming issue became politicized; which essentially caused the issue to become the liberal environment groups against the rich business owners. In essence, the entire issue became a class warfare battle and I believe that it never should have become that at all and this sort of elitist foot stomping by the President is living proof of that assertion.

In short, the President is wasting the American people’s time and tax money, by going to this idiotic summit and trying to exert his will upon these other Country. Because it has become is obvious to me, that these other Countries are just not on board with this far-left zealotry to supposedly save the planet. This browbeating of the other nations, in all honesty is not actually going to save our planet, but rather line the pockets of the investors, like Al Gore, who are invested heavily in this global warming issue. The President simply needs to cut his losses, chalk his global warming front as a loss, much like his other fronts; and move on.

Video: Bill O'Reilly and Laura Ingraham yell at each other about Michelle Obama

File this one under the “What could go wrong?” file section.

It was quite obvious to me that in this video that Laura was trying to be funny and Bill was having none of it. He even said the word ‘bullshit’ and they edited it out. I sat and watched this one unfold and I though, “uh-oh, Laura has ventured into the area where not many dare to go…

I guess you could say the Laura was teasing him, but I don’t think Bill liked it one bit.

Points to Bill for calling Ingraham for what she is, a blind ideologue.

Enjoy!

Updated: When it comes to Rand Paul, the apple does not fall far from the tree Campaign Spokesman Quits

Check this bunch of nonsense out here.

This is why I did not support Ron Paul; because he attracted the nuts and the flakes. I guess the same is true about his son.

Hats off to barefoot and progressive, as much as it pains me to say that; for finding this stuff out. We need a new political movement, but not with crazies like that in it.

Update: AP reports that Rand Paul’s Spokesman has quit.

Video: Bernie Sanders takes his marbles and goes home

Wow. I guess Sanders is not happy at all. Not only did he pull his amendment, he is not voting for the bill.

Video:

Partial transcript:

I’m struggling with this. As of this point, I’m not voting for the bill. … I’m going to do my best to make this bill a better bill, a bill that I can vote for, but I’ve indicated both to the White House and the Democratic leadership that my vote is not secure at this point. And here is the reason. When the public option was withdrawn, because of Lieberman’s action, what I worry about is how do you control escalating health care costs?

Popcorn anyone? 😉

Confirmed: Laurence Vance is an idiot

It appears that Mr. Vance is just playing stupid or is, in fact, stupid. He says that I did not answer him.

Dude, I wrote a fucking 1139 word article answering you and your brain-dead bullshit that you heaved at me. If you did not get anything out if it; that is your fucking problem asshole.

I’ve got better things to do, that fucking deal with fucking brain-dead leftists like you.

Now go fuck yourself and have nice day.

That is all.

Updated: Video: My reply to Barnie Sanders – Dems break rule when Withdrawing Sanders Amendment to Bill

I saw this, and I just could not let it fly… So, I recorded a short video:

So, Yes, I created a video… I had to… Enough is enough…:

Lovely eh? 🙄

Update: If that was not bad enough, the Democrats broke a rule, when they withdrew the bill! Good Lord. 🙄
