No surprise - Racism in the Stimulus Package

Robert Reich basically says "If you have skills (and could actually contribute to ending a recession) or you don't have enough melanin in your skin, you can't have any stimulus money."

(That translation is for my liberal friends - the rest of us understand what is going on)





Can I now apply for government aid because I'm "melanin challenged"? (translation for liberals: that was a joke)

Question: if "wealth redistribution" is such a great idea, why aren't Barack Hussein Obama ( and his toadies) giving away their own personal money? It doesn't take any kind of great political acumen to steal one man's money and give it to another man. And it doesn't solve any problems.

Another Question: Where are all the altruistic liberals?
Answer: They are few and far between.

How Congress FAILed to protect our economy

Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA) "...safety and soundness...is not an issue",
Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) "...we do not have a crisis at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac",
Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-NY) "...theres nothing that's indicated that's wrong with Fannie Mae...".
Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY), Jack Reed (D-RI), and other elected Democrats DEFENDED Freddie and Fannie in 2003 & 2005 and REFUSED TO LISTEN to Sen. Chuck Hagel (R-NE), Rep. Ed Royce (R-CA), Rep. Don Manzullo (R-IL), Rep. Chris Shays (R-CT) and other elected Republicans.

Why???

WAtch the video and just check out the list of receipients of campaign contributions at 5:17 ... even the "One" and "Only", the great "hOpe" of the democratic party is listed. Don't expect much in the way of "change" any time sOon.

Obama's Numbers Continue to Drop

Hmmm.... interesting.

Favorability ratings dropped 19% in less than one month? That's quite an accomplishment.

Obama Inaugural Ratings Fall Short of Reagan’s

This article from NewsMax.com points up an interesting historical fact that we didn't hear from the main stream media outlets.

Although the number of viewers watching the presidential inauguration coverage of Barack Obama was impressive, they fall short of those who saw Ronald Reagan take the oath of office for his first term in 1981.

According to Nielsen Media Research, 37.8 million television viewers tuned in Tuesday to watch the swearing-in ceremony, which was the largest inaugural audience in 28 years. Reagan's first inauguration in 1981 drew a whopping 41.8 million.

The article goes on to remind us that...

Obama's figures include telecasts on 17 broadcast and cable networks, while Reagan’s swearing-in ceremony nearly three decades ago could only be seen on ABC, CBS and NBC.

Interestingly enough, Obama's approval rating has done nothing but slide downhill since inauguration day.

Montana Wildlife Impact

From an internal US Forest Service memo, late October 2008:

The photo below captures a disturbing trend that is beginning to affect wildlife here in the United States . . .

Anticipating a sweeping Democratic Party victory in the November elections, animals that were formerly self-sufficient are already modifying their behavior to take advantage of what they expect to be a new set of societal norms in the next four to eight years.

This black bear from Montana has ceased hunting for a living and is sitting outside the US Fish & Wildlife Service office in Kalispell, apparently waiting to be fed and to have his winter den dug by government employees.

The residents of Kalispell are calling him 'Bearack Obama'.

[Dear Liberal: The preceding is a joke. I'm only telling you this because, by voting for Obama, you demonstrated that you can't tell when somebody is pulling your leg. Have a nice day.]

Worth A Thousand Words

Early Barack Obama rally

I was looking around YouTube and I found this footage of an early Barack Obama rally





"He's Not the Messiah" (you gotta love Monty Python)

One hundred tons and counting...

Jan 20, 2009 was only the start of Barak Hussein Obama and his supporters littering the nation with garbage. This first 100 tons of garbage was literal. The garbage that came later was even worse.

Washington D. C. city officials put the crowd total (despite very cold weather) at 1.8 million.

For the first time in a long time, we now have a Commander-in-Chief & VP with ZERO military experience.

How's this for "change" - he gets a million plus "save the environment" types together and they trash the place. Conservatives have never trashed a place so effectively and so fast.

Keep your shovels handy folks, it's gonna be a long four years!

TV is NOT a right

This may come as a shock to a lot of people but television is not a "right". (I checked the Constitution, honest) I understand that it is the duty of the FCC to regulate the usage of the airwaves and that "the switch to digital" will free up a lot of those airwaves for newer technologies. Great, I have no problem with that. This is just another example of a government agency regulating something that should be in the public domain. (I'm not going to go off on a tangent about this because there will be plenty of opportunity to grind the "government buttinski" axe in the coming days... )

The thing that really bothers the most about this whole process is how hard the government is working to make sure that nobody loses a minute of viewing pleasure. The other day a local politician made the statement that "People have to have television access for their safety. To deny people access to television in this storm prone area would be criminal."

Well at least he was talking about something he knows - politicians in this area are experts in criminal behavior. But I digress...

To answer the politicians claim, No, people do not have to have television access [to stay informed of storm alerts] in this storm prone area. If we in this area are prone to any storms, it is hurricanes. Three days people, you get at least three bloody days warning if a hurricane is headed your way. I grew up in "tornado alley" and with your average tornado you are lucky to get fifteen minutes warning.

I have to wonder how much of this "no more TV" paranoia is borne out of the misguided notions of TV personalities and their belief that we somehow "need" them.

Long live radio. I looking forward to my TV being nothing more than a display for my DVD player.

The NEW Jimmy Carter

Most of the people that I know who voted for Barack Obama were not alive in 1976. I was there but I wasn't old enough to vote yet.

This article is a VERY good history lesson for some of us and a good refresher for those who were politically active by that time.

Officially President-Elect

It is official.

The man that has been referred to as "President-Elect Obama" in the mainstream media (or simply "President Obama" in their more unguarded moments) was officially declared the next President of the United States by the House after they tallied the Electoral College votes.

The AP story actually says "THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE".

No, its a ceremony. No surprise, no news. But this is part and parcel of the media's love affair with Barack Obama that we have been forced to watch during the past several months. These clowns have collectively thrown all pretense of "objectivity" out the window. (My personal favorite is Chris Mathews' quote "...when I hear Barack Obama speak I get a furrowing up my leg...and that's an objective assessment." )

The Fence Is Going Up!

One of the FEW responsibilities of a valid government is to protect the safety and security of it's citizens. To this end there has been *much* discussion as to what should (or should not) be done to protect the southern and northern (landlocked) borders of the United States of America.

This morning on the radio, one of our local radio commentators interviewed a judge from Cameron county concerning progress on the border fence.

Good fences make good neighbors, right? Funny thing is, when the border fence is referred to in Spanish, I have *never* heard it referred to as a "fence" (cerca). Without exception, people speaking Spanish refer to this as "El Muro" (The Wall). More than once I have been speaking with bilingual friends and the subject has come up. When I have asked the question "Have you ever seen pictures of the Berlin Wall coming down? This is not a Wall - this is a fence." the response has been "Well yeah but you know...".

That's the problem. I do know.

What is being built looks to be a sensible fence. It will not be located on the levies and have to be torn down in 2011. It will not be built inside city limits. Those two particular genius proposals (and all the resultant flap about "The Wall" cutting Brownsville in half as it followed the levy) are complete inventions of local Rio Grande Valley politicians. (I know you will be as shocked as I was to learn that politicians had actually lied...)

These same politicians are now hanging their hopes on Barack Obama to "Stop the Wall". But, by their own admission, Obama "has a lot on his plate" and he "might not be able to give the necessary attention to a small piece of South Texas".

All this would mean that, despite the best efforts of local politicians, the American government has actually taken steps to protect American citizens.

Love it or hate it, comments are encouraged.
