Horse-hockey!

More stupid from the left:

When Congress picks a fight with the President, no matter who the President or who leads the Congress, the President usually wins in the public eye.

Prediction: if the President plays chicken on this tax and spending issue and doesn’t flinch, he wins one way or the other politically.

Bullcrap. The President, nor the Republicans are going to look good in the eyes of the people; whose taxes are going to go through the roof!

Morons, I swear.

This is pretty much dead on

Erick Rush writing at Canada Free Press, which has a ton more ads that I will ever have here:

On November 19, Pravda’s Xavier Lerma wrote an article asserting that President (I use the term loosely) Barack Obama had been re-elected “by an illiterate society.” Some conservatives have been wont to dismiss and ridicule some of the dead-on assessments of the former Soviet newspaper since it was once in fact a Soviet newspaper.

Some of this dismissal and ridicule did occur relative to Lerma’s piece; I think however, that such observations made by those who have been there and done that ought to be considered, if not heeded.

Lerma writes “He [Obama] is a Communist without question promoting the Communist Manifesto without calling it so… His cult of personality mesmerizes those who cannot go beyond their ignorance. They will continue to follow him like those fools who still praise Lenin and Stalin in Russia.  Obama’s fools and Stalin’s fools share the same drink of illusion.”

Sounds pretty dead-on if you ask me…

[…]

Over the past two weeks, congressional lawmakers have been posturing over the “fiscal cliff” upon which America is allegedly teetering, and the resulting debate on taxes: Obama wants to raise taxes; the Republicans in Congress ostensibly want to cut spending; the Democrats offer some spending cuts in trade for raising taxes, and so on… Considering the intellectual indolence of the American public thus far, I suppose there’s no reason for Congress and the Obama administration to believe we’d call them out for this blatant display of smoke and mirrors.

With the knowledge that increasing income taxes to 100% on all earners in the US, and confiscating every dollar we currently possess wouldn’t make a ding in the national debt or the deficit, let alone a dent, it becomes obvious that all of the maneuvering by Republican lawmakers is mere pretense. Why not simply detail the detrimental effects that raising taxes will have on the economy?

Perhaps because they don’t want advertise these facts to the American public any more than Obama does…

While it might be a no-brainer to you and me, the average non-partisan American voter will not be aware that this is the worst possible time for Republicans to be conciliatory with regard to this administration on any issue. Thus, they will perceive Republicans as obstructionist if they do not compromise with evil. Any Republican lawmaker possessed of the knowledge of Obama’s intent ought to be fighting him at every possible turn as a matter of course, publicity be damned.

I would also submit that there aren’t any GOP lawmakers who are sufficiently stupid or uninformed not to know that Obama is taking us down the road to communism. If they presume to this, they are engaging in deception.

Spot on. I would suggest that you go read all of that.

They’d better quit with the hope and do something

Because if this here is any indication, we’re screwed.

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — Fears of going over the fiscal cliff were showing signs of receding on Wednesday, as both Speaker John Boehner and President Barack Obama indicated optimism about reaching a deal and U.S. stock markets rose.

In comments early Wednesday morning, Boehner said he was “optimistic that we can continue to work together to avert this crisis, and sooner rather than later.” The comments helped send U.S. stock markets higher, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI:DJIA)   lately up about 78 points and the S&P 500 up 6 points. See Market Snapshot.

Obama, speaking at the White House, said he’s hopeful about striking a deal before Christmas.

“Our ultimate goal is an agreement that gets our long-term deficit under control in a way that is fair and balanced,” Obama said. “And I believe that both parties can agree on a framework that does that in the coming weeks.” Read more MarketWatch fiscal cliff coverage.

In a sign of intensifying negotiations, the Treasury said that Secretary Tim Geithner will hold talks on Thursday separately with Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid, Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, Boehner, and House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi. White House legislative director Rob Nabors will also participate.

Geithner will “continue discussing the actions we need to take to keep our economy growing and find a balance approach to reduce our deficit,” a Treasury statement said.

Chief among the sticking points: how to deal with competing positions on raising taxes on the wealthiest Americans. Obama on Wednesday again urged Congress to pass a bill extending tax breaks for all but the wealthiest 2% of Americans. Republicans insist that lower rates continue for all earners.

A bit less, “Well, I hope we can.” and more of getting down to business and getting it done, would be very nice. Of course, the Obama Administration’s more interested in killing business and capitalism; and maybe even bringing down our capitalistic system, than he is saving the Country.

I’m just saying.

 

BP should tell the USA, “Hasta la vista!”

Because this is nothing more than this Presidential Administration trying to run this oil company out of business:

WASHINGTON — Government officials have temporarily banned BP from new federal contracts because of the 2010 Deepwater Horizon blowout and oil spill that killed 11 workers and polluted hundreds of miles of Gulf of Mexico shoreline.

The Environmental Protection Agency said Wednesday that it was taking the action because of BP’s “lack of business integrity” demonstrated by the accident and the company’s inability to curb the flow of oil into the gulf. BP pleaded guilty earlier this month to federal criminal charges arising from the disaster and agreed to pay $4.5 billion, including $1.26 billion in criminal penalties.

The suspension will be effective “until the company can provide sufficient evidence to E.P.A. demonstrating that it meets federal business standards,” the agency said in a statement. The action does not affect the company’s existing federal contracts.

BP had no immediate comment on the announcement.

The British oil company is one of the American government’s largest contractors, 45th with $1.47 billion in federal business in 2011, according to a ranking compiled by the General Services Administration. The company’s biggest customer is the United States Department of Defense, to which it provides more than $1 billion a year in fuel.

If I were BP oil, I would tell the EPA and the Obama Administration, “When your reign of terror is over, we will come back. Until then, we are out of here.”

Because it is quite obvious to this writer that the Obama Administration trying to break this oil company’s back or force them to leave the Country. Therefore, I would give them what they wanted and I would end the North American Operations of BP and sell off all the American company assets to the highest bidder and get out of the American oil business until the end of Obama’s term.

If Obama is that desperate to see the American oil industry handed over to his Arab friends, than I would allow that to happen; so that Americans can see just what kind of person that he really is. Which is someone who cares about American workers and America itself, as he does about his own socks.

A good example of why congress and house members, and staff should always be ARMED

See below:

Some protesters dropped trou to launch a protest at House Speaker John Boehner’s office in the Longworth House Office building in Washington.

U.S. Capitol Police public information officer Shennell Antrobus confirmed: “three females arrested for lewd and indecent acts in the Speaker’s Longworth office. Demonstrators disbursed that area.”

This is an office across the street from the Capitol Building. The speaker, who has a plush suite of offices in the Capitol Building, never works in the district office, so he wasn’t privy, as it were, to the privates.

If these staffers had been armed with guns, this would have never happened.

Also:

It’s unclear why the naked women were arrested, but the naked man in the picture was not.

Let’s see here:

Because he was black, most likely. We do have a black President you know.

Again, armed staff would have stopped this; most liberals when they see guns, tend to flee the scene.

Why because Obama is black?

Sorry, even I cannot sit here and not think that some people are just being racist. No, this is not a joke either.

Creepy? Seriously?

What they’re talking about is this:

A mural made for the United States first black President, in Burma.

It was done out of respect for the President. But yet, the so-called “Conservative” media and blogosphere says its “creepy.”

—

Sorry, but this little piece of so-called “Conservative media” makes me so angry, that I actually feel the need to fire up the word processing program and write a couple good lines about it.

As many of you know, I, at one time, was a Democratic Party voter. I grew up in southwest Detroit. I went to Church there for over eleven years. I lived in southwest for seventeen years. I grew up with, went school and Church with blacks, Latinos, and yes, the occasional white person. Therefore, this idiotic nonsense that the conservative media seems to think is funny, is just not registering as such on my humor meter.

Could it honestly be that the word “creepy” is the new racial codeword for black? I would really hope that the right is not that stupid and not that great of bigots. I fully admit in my day, of taking potshots at minorities and doing that in an inartful manner usually, because I was angry.

Therefore, I am issuing a message to the so-called “conservative media.” You are all on notice from here on out. No more, am I going to just sit here, chuckle, and not bring up the racist undertones of things that you say. I am going to start highlighting it. You say, “What about what is on your header?” Yeah, what about it? Sorry to tell you, but that is not racism that is the truth about Islam. Therefore, that little defense is out.

I am sorry, but I am becoming a little bit tired of the stupid hatred, by the so-called “conservative media” and so called “conservative blogosphere” towards the President of the United States of America, and all because he is a black man. It is getting to be a little bit old, at this point.

Here is a bit of a dose of cold, hard reality for you stupid idiots on the right. You want to know why you lost this election —- Because of stupid stuff like this right here! You do know that there are people who actually read those blogs of yours and my blog as well — from all sorts of racial backgrounds — Blacks, Whites, Hispanics and many more. Do you really honestly think that some undecided voter is really going to want to vote for a Republican candidate, if they happen to read some nuanced racism on a Conservative blog towards the President? I really think not.

Therefore, I am just going to tell it like it is. Therefore, men and women of the Republican Party and the Conservative movement hear me loud and clear: either this idiotic continuing use of nuanced racism of blacks and Latinos stops, or I am not voting for your party any longer. I voted for the Republican Governor here in Michigan. I voted for the Republican candidate for President of the United States and I do not regret that vote. However, I will not continue to vote for your party, if all you people, who claim to support that party can do, is continue to belch forth nuanced or otherwise — racism towards minorities. It has to stop, and I have just about had enough of it for one lifetime.

I will make a full admission on this blog, right here and right now. I never really was a Republican or that hard of right wing Conservative. I am simply a thinking American, who happens to be a bit of independent politically. I am also someone who was opposed to the nomination of the Democratic Party’s nominee for President of the United States back in 2007. It had, and still does have nothing to do with his skin color. It had and still does have to do with the fact that the man was a full on hard leftist. To his credit, he is trying to run the Country as a centrist, but failing at it badly.

Therefore, I issue this dire warning to the Republican establishment types, to the conservative grassroots, to the so-called “conservative” blogosphere. Quit it with the racism — nuanced or otherwise. Because you know what — You are really starting to piss me the hell off. I have been known to mock and deride the White Nationalists on this blog. In fact, I have done so, on my old blog. If you think that, I will not start doing this to you all, think again. Furthermore, I will just say it: President Barack Obama is in his second term, he cannot be reelected again; much of what he hopes to accomplish, will be stopped by the house — if they do not impeach him first. The Democratic Party has nowhere to go from here, but back to the center. Otherwise, that party will go extinct.

If all of you, and you know who you all are — do not think that I will not bail back to the Democratic Party side of things. Think again. Hillary might run again, and I think I could live with her being President; she cannot do any worse than Obama. I love this Country, but I cannot sit here and overlook this sort of stuff much longer. There needs to be reform in the conservative movement and this is one of things that needs to be reformed and that is the nuanced racism on the right. It is sickening, it cheapens the movement and it makes us looks like idiots or worse.

In closing: I love my Country, and I hate what the Democrats in the Bill Clinton era did to it. I also hate what Barack Obama did to the Country as well. However, I hate equally hate what is happening in the Conservative movement right now. It sickens me to my core, as an American, as a Christian and as someone who wants to see the Republicans win in 2016. As Mitt Romney said, we can do better than this and the Conservative movement CAN do better! This nuenced racism towards minorites needs to stop! It is not funny, it is not Conservative, it is not Christian and it should not even be named in our movement at all!

The above is what I think, and I would like to know, what you think. Leave a comment, if you agree.

Police State: LA officer used Taser on handcuffed woman

And, of course, he lied about it.

I wonder if he was black or not? ConfusedThinking (Am I even allowed to ask such questions in Obama’s World? Surprise)

Via Fox News:

Records show a Los Angeles police officer shocked a handcuffed woman with a stun gun while joking with fellow officers, in an incident caught on video.

An investigation by the Los Angeles Times finds Officer Jorge Santander then appeared to lie about the December 2010 encounter repeatedly in written reports.

The newspaper finds three other officers who witnessed the incident all corroborated Santander’s version of events when first questioned. They also failed to tell supervisors that one officer had recorded it on video.

Prosecutors declined to charge Santander.

Police officials say Chief Charlie Beck is seeking to have Santander and the three others fired.

It’s an Obama World.

Well put!
