Obama Tries to Shift Blame

So far the one thing that Obama has been consistent at is trying to shift blame for the economy onto George Bush. But it's not true.

First off, the cause of the current economic problems is directly attributable to the Community Reinvestment Act as passed by Carter and amended by Clinton.

Second, the federal government's deficit was improving until Democrats took over Congress. This video explains what happened in better detail:



Ultimately the best answer is to cut government spending. Severely. Painfully. And if people are so dependent on their government handouts then we should change the law so people who are on the dole are not allowed to vote.

The Obamateur Speaks

Obama tries to take on the Tea Parties and fails miserably. "let’s not play games and pretend that the reason [for the deficit] is because of the Recovery Act" he said. Excuse me? Nobody ever said that the reason for the deficit is the Recovery Act. The reason for the deficit is irresponsible government spending, of which Obama is guilty of the most blatant excesses.

In response to Obama's offer, some Tea Party leaders welcome a meeting with Obama. In my opinion, it would be a complete waste of time. He doesn't understand them now because he doesn't want to, and he's not going to listen to what they have to say. So why bother? No matter what they say to him, he's going to blunder his way along the path to Socialism.

Personal commentary: what with the irresponsible flyover, and letting terrorists go, and ramming more and more taxes and spending down America's throat, and wanting to prosecute Americans for protecting America, and the list goes on and on - it should be painfully obvious by now, even to many die-hard liberals that Obama just plain hates America. Maybe that's why the Liberals love Obama so much - because they hate America too.

Oregon Legislature Out of Control with New Tax Legislation

The Federal, New York and California governments aren't the only ones that are out of control regarding taxation. The Oregon state legislature has become infected with Tax-and-Spend disease. Many new bills have been introduced, that if passed, would raise taxes or fees in many different ways, from income and sales taxes to insurance to real estate transfer taxes and so on.

There's even a bill that would put a 10% sales tax on Bird seed! As if taxing all those tons and tons of bird seed used in Oregon every year would solve Oregon's fiscal problems.

The House Republicans have been kind enough put together this handy reference guide that contains a partial list of bills that have been introduced.

Like with the Federal Government, Oregon doesn't need more taxes. Oregon needs less government spending, and in more responsible ways.

And it's become painfully obvious that the Oregon Legislature wasn't paying any attention whatsoever to the Tea Parties. We need to do it again.

Axelrod Affected by the Biden Virus

Axelrod thinks that the Tea Parties are misdirecting their anger. His arguments are so weak that he's got to be making this stuff up - a bit like Biden does.

First of all, he is still desperately clinging to the delusional lie that 95% of Americans got tax cuts. 95% of Americans got no such thing! They may be getting a lower standard withholding, but in the long run they're paying more taxes. All Americans are. There's no way that the "richest" 5% of Americans will be able to foot the bill for this huge spending spree that the government has gone on. So, all Americans are having their taxes increased. Maybe in subtle ways, but taxes are going up, in spite of what Axelrod is smoking.

Second, the PAYING of taxes isn't the only issue here - people are also protesting government SPENDING. The issue that people are getting so worked up about is the irresponsible government spending that forces the government to raise taxes. This is critical. Until Axelrod understands this point, anything he has to say on the issue is total rubbish. Trillions of dollars in wasteful government spending is a big deal and people have every right to get upset at the government over this.

And third, as for the "unhealthy" comment, maybe Axelrod can explain exactly how "healthy" he thinks it is that the government increases spending at exactly the time when they should be decreasing spending. For the government, and especially Obama, to be so recklessly throwing money around - that is truly unhealthy. Now it's true that any time the government spends in an irresponsible manner, it is unhealthy. But when the government increases spending to out-of-control proportions during a time of economic difficulty, and then wastes that money on useless programs and to pay off their political support - that is beyond unhealthy - it's fatal to the economy.

Therefore, the Tea Parties are doing exactly what they should be doing - letting the government know that We, the People are unhappy with how the criminals in Congress and the White House are trashing our country.

And if there's anything unhealthy going on, it's that Axelrod has been infected by the Pathologicus Liarus Bideni virus.

The big news for today is the many reports on yesterday's Tax Day Tea Party. Lots of reports all over the place, especially on Free Republic. One thing that Liberals just don't get is how much we are being taxed to death. Take a look at The Tax List - it shows all the different taxes that have been introduced in the last hundred years that have become such a drag on our economy. And that's not even mentioning all the different fees that are cropping up all over the place now.

With all the irresponsible taxing and spending going on in the District of Communism, it's no surprise that Texas Governor Perry talked openly of secession. Politicians (Democrat and Republican) need to take notice.

And from Chicago, we have news that the email address of the Communist News Network (CNN) reporter that was being rude to the Tea Party attendee has been shut down. I guess CNN doesn't handle criticism well. Typical of libtards. If they're going to lie about the Tea Parties, they'd better be willing to deal with the consequences of their lies.

You have to wonder why liberals are so vicious over Tea Parties. Could it be they see that they're losing power? And instead of fixing their own problems, they resort to slander and libel and vicious ad hominem attacks? It's not like they've never resorted to that kind of behavior before, is it? Don't answer that question.

To all those Bush-bashers who constantly sniped at Bush for warrantless wiretapping: Obama's doing even more of than Bush ever did.

Free speech going down the tubes: Documentary film-maker John Ziegler arrested for absolutely no reason at all. Unless telling the truth is a valid reason to get you arrested.

Obama's thousand insults of Sarkozy were borne as best as he could, but when he ventured upon insult... Is that a Cask of Amontillado being opened in France?

Remember Durban II, the pro-Racism conference that Oflipflopper said that the US would boycot? Maybe we won't boycott after all. I mean, really, who could pass up a celebration of Hitler's birthday run by Iran, Libya and Cuba? Couldn't possibly be an Israel-bashing event. Nope. Never.

Talking about the Oflipflopper, it appears that he isn't such a dedicated Christian after all: "Jesus" isn't allowed at Obama speech in a Catholic University. Not surprising, considering that Zero didn't bow to the Defender of the Christian Faith (ie- the Queen of England) but bowed deeply to the Protector of the Two Mosques (ie- the King of Saudi Arabia).

Steele recognizes Palin as one of GOP's Top Leaders. I guess Steele is recognizing reality.

Commies admit that Cap and Trade is a Communist Tactic. Well, not in so many words, but translating into plain English, that's what they said.

Tax Day Tea Party - Beaverton Oregon

We had an excellent turnout in beautiful weather. I was surprised by how many people showed up. For a city of 80,000 in an area that votes liberal, I was expecting a few dozen, but we had hundreds at least, and I heard some people say they thought we had at least 1,000 show up and many cars were honking and waving as they drove by. While there I got to talking with a guy who was from Russia. He said that he left Russia to escape Communism and now our government is trying to bring it here. He had a very interesting question: "Where am I going to go now? The moon?"

This is a picture of the guy that led the demonstration. Gave a good speech: brief, meaningful and to the point.

Rosa Brooks - remember her? She's the military-bashing LA Times reporter that said the government needs to take over the newspaper industry so the newspapers can more effectively monitor the government. Yeah, I know, you really can't get more stupid than that, can you? Unless of course, you're the person that appointed her to a top post at the Pentagon.

Tomorrow is the Tax Day Tea Party. I'm looking forward to attending my local protest. Also, as I surmised earlier, liberals are so freaked out over the tea parties that they are doing everything they can to discredit them. However, if you want facts regarding our taxes, the Tax Foundation's Web Site has lots of good information.

Texas Governor Perry supports the state's move to reclaim 10th amendment sovreignty.

Can you blame him? Especially when Homeland Security is warning of 'Right Wing Extremism'. Why are they worried more about the right than about Muslim Terrorists? Maybe because right-wing radicals like George Washington and his kind had such a devastating effect on attempts to force people submit and the leftists just can't handle not being in control. This particular story is being covered quite well in conservative blogs, but of all the articles I've read, none comes close to this letter that Atlas Shrugs received from a Military Officer. Pure Gold. Shows just how low of an opinion Obama has of the Military.

And here's another article about the faux military reception staged for Obama's benefit.

And if you thought that Obama's <sarcasm>awesome handling</sarcasm> of the pirate situation in Somalia was going to improve the situation, think again. And if you thought that the leftist media wouldn't do everything they could to divert attention from the Military to Obama so they can make their boy-child look good and continue dissing the Military (as is their habit), think again. Come on, Matthews really thinks that the Navy SEALs really "got lucky"? These guys train hard for the work that they do. Luck had absolutely nothing to do with it.

And finally, yet another example of how the Surrenderer-in-Chief is making such a "positive" impact on America's position in the International Community: after all of Obama's posturing and threats, North Korea calls his bluff and says they will never return to nuclear talks.

The real rescue story - Hint: Obama didn't really give the order.

Even though Americans applaud the rescue of Captain Phillips, the Pirates are vowing revenge. Obama reacts by singing a few rounds of Kumbaya while eating his gourmet pizza.

And while we're on this topic, yet again, liberals just couldn't resist their traitorous impulses: Now they're saying that the Somali Pirates are misunderstood Ecologists, not evil, murderous, thieving thugs.

The Kowtower-in-Chief - like his physical bow to the King of Saudi Arabia, Obama is symbolically bowing to Islam and muslims, while trashing Christianity.

Here's one example: Obama is dropping a key demand that Iran shut down their nuclear facilities. Obama must have been taking surrender lessons from the French.

And finally, Obama's own supporters are dismayed when he decides to keep the Bush-era rules on terrorist surveillance - in spite of the fact that he vowed strenuously that he would eliminate them. Yet another reason why Obama's administration is no where near as transparent as he promised.

Snapshot of Important Events for 2009-04-12

Story of the Day: Captain Phillips Rescued! Huge kudos to the Navy snipers - taking shots like that from one ship to another cannot be easy. And a big thank you to all the military involved in the operation - you people are awesome! The one down side to this story: Oblunder is trying to take credit. He's trumpeting up and down how he gave permission - twice - to intervene if the captain's life was in danger.

Speaking of the military, Obama's photo op with the soldiers in Iraq looked a bit odd to me when I saw it. Now we have received confirmation that it was staged. Why am I not surprised?

Obama continues to vote "Present". Throughout the hostage situation in Somalia Oblunder was strangely silent, preferring to order gormet pizza while others were in danger. What a wuss.

And finally, Obama's half-brother was denied a visa to the UK because of a sexual assault on an underage girl. At the time he was arrested he gave false ID. Sounds like giving false identity is an activity that runs in the family.

Bird Feeder Analogy

Another item making the rounds in email...

I bought a bird feeder. I hung it on my back porch and filled it with seed. What a beauty of a bird feeder it was, as I filled it lovingly with seed. Within a week we had hundreds of birds taking advantage of the continuous flow of free and easily accessible food.

But then the birds started building nests in the boards of the patio, above the table, and next to the barbecue.

Then came the poop. It was everywhere: on the patio tile, the chairs, the table ....everywhere!

Then some of the birds turned mean. They would dive bomb me and try to peck me even though I had fed them out of my own pocket. And others birds were boisterous and loud. They sat on the feeder and squawked and screamed at all hours of the day and night and demanded that I fill it when it got low on food.

After a while, I couldn't even sit on my own back porch anymore. So I took down the bird feeder and in three days the birds were gone. I cleaned up their mess and took down the many nests they had built all over the patio.

Soon, the back yard was like it used to be .... quiet, serene.... and no one demanding their rights to a free meal.

Now let's see.

Our government gives out free food, subsidized housing, free medical care and free education, and allows anyone born here to be an automatic citizen.

Then the illegals came by the tens of thousands. Suddenly our taxes went up to pay for free services; small apartments are housing 5 families; you have to wait 6 hours to be seen by an emergency room doctor; your child's second grade class is behind other schools because over half the class doesn't speak English.

Corn Flakes now come in a bilingual box; I have to 'press one' to hear my bank talk to me in English, and people waving flags other than our flag are squawking and screaming in the streets, demanding more rights and free liberties.

Just my opinion, but maybe it's time for the government to take down the bird feeder.

If you agree, pass it on; if not, continue cleaning up the poop.

A Republican, a Libertarian and a Democrat Walked into a Bar...

Got this in email. Making the rounds apparently...

A Republican walked into a bar and asked the bartender, "Isn't that Jesus over there?" When the bartender said "Yes," the Republican sent over a drink. "Put it on my tab," he said.

A little later a Libertarian walked in. "Say," he said, "Isn't that Jesus sitting over there?" The barman said, "Yes," so the Libertarian sent over a hamburger.

Presently a Democrat showed up, noticed Jesus and sent over a plate of french fries.

Jesus soon finished his meal and got up to leave. On his way out he stopped to talk to the Republican. "Thanks for the drink," he said; "It was really good. Is there anything I can do for you?" "Well," said the Republican, "I'm facing knee surgery..." "Don't say another word," said Jesus as he laid a hand on the man's knee. "You are healed."

Jesus came to the Libertarian and said, "Thanks for the hamburger. It was really good. Is there anything I can do for you?" "Well," said the Libertarian, "I have cataracts..." Jesus placed his fingers on the man's eyes and said, "You are healed."

Finally, Jesus came to the Democrat. He thanked him for the fries and offered him any help he needed. "Don't touch me!" shouted the Democrat, "I'm on Disability!!"

Snapshot of Important Events for 2009-Apr-09

Obama is being highly erratic regarding the Military. First, he offends the US military by declining a visit to Normandy for the 65th anniversary of D-Day because he doesn't want to offend the Germans. Then he goes and seeks $83.4 Billion in funds for the US Military. Why wasn't this included in the budget? Oh, and Liberals are having conniption fits over this one. (Don't forget that during the presidential campaign Obama hugely criticized Bush for his military spending.)

Liberals are also having a hard time digesting Obama's flip-flop on the Civil Liberties wiretapping "issue". Olberman is "crushed". Poor little baby.

And the Mainstream Media liars at the New Your Times exposed their hypocrisy yet again when they cheered Obama's visit to the troops in Iraq, after having ignored Bush's Thanksgiving Day visit.

Biden - Pathological Liar. And Biden isn't the only liar in the White House - they're trying to claim that the Obama Bow wasn't really a Bow. Of course it was. In particular, they tried to say that Obama used both of his hands to shake the Saudi King's hands, but photographic evidence reveals that to be a complete lie.

And as for all the Global Warming nonsense, Carbon Dioxide is actually good for the environment. Oh, and NASA released a report saying that CO2 wasn't responsible for the recently observed ice melt in the Arctic. The real reason? Pollution CONTROL. That's right, our efforts to save the Arctic did more harm than good.

And this spate of gun violence that has happened recently, as expected, Liberals are exploiting these Gun Massacres to make additional calls for Gun Control. They're even claiming that the cop-killer in Pennsylvania was influenced to do his dirty deed by those dastardly evil people at Fox News. Their lies expose how desperate they're getting over the Gun Control issue, especially since a recent Gallup poll shows that support for Gun Control is at an all-time low.

Pakistan, taking advantage of discontent over the government giving billions of dollars to "mismanaged" companies, wants the United States to send the bailout funds to Pakistan instead. Sure. Why not? We're already throwing trillions at illegal aliens! Give it to them now and save them the trip!

Talking of illegal aliens, Obama and his cronies are yet again trying to push amnesty in spite of the fact that most Americans oppose the idea.

With all the hoopla over Notre Dame planning to grant an honorary degree to Obama, another school has their own take on the issue: ASU is saying that they WON'T grant an honorary degree to Obama. Why? Because he hasn't accomplished anything!

My Nephew in Iraq

Today I received a picture of my nephew currently serving in Iraq:

Liberal Hate Crimes

There's this liberal that I work with. Back during the Bush presidency she was constantly blaming Bush for everything. One time she was complaining about Bush spending too much money and said "What is my son going to do? Bush is racking up so much debt, he's ruining my son's future!" Fast-forward a few months and now Obama has plunged the nation into an even greater spending frenzy. So I reminded her of her complaint against Bush and her respone... "I don't care."

"But why not? You cared that Bush spent too much money, why don't you care that Obama spends even more money so that your great-grandchildren will be in debt before their even born?"

"Because Bush is a conservative."

Wow. Talk about arrogance. No substantive argument at all, just hatred for Bush solely because he's a conservative! Now I know that there are a lot of people who will argue about how "conservative" Bush is, but that's an entirely separate issue.

In dealing with the liberals who inhabit the world around me, I have found more and more that they have the attitude that conservatives are guilty until proven innocent and they're not allowed to attempt to prove their innocence. No matter what conservatives do, they're always guilty, even if they do the exact same thing that liberals do!

Here's an example: multiple times throughout the Bush presidency, Bush gave speeches in which he said very clearly that America is not at war against Islam. But he's always ridiculed by liberals as if he were a muslim-hating bigot. On the other hand, Obama makes a single speech in which he says the exact same thing, and suddenly he's praised to high heaven as if he were turning the country 180 degrees in the opposite direction from Bush.

I've come to the conclusion that liberals are guilty of Hate Crimes.

Yes, that's right: Hate Crimes.

Liberals don't hate conservatives because they disagree with conservatives' positions - they hate conservatives because they are conservatives. That is the very definition of a hate crime: hating someone because of who they are.

Don't believe me? Here are some further examples:

Liberals went into conniption fits over Bush's wiretapping. But they say nothing now that Obama continues the policy.

Liberals howled with rage because Bush went to war. Obama continues the war and the liberals are suddenly hawkish.

Liberals attacked Palin for the her wardrobe. But they gush with extasy over Michelle Obama's clearly expensive attire.

I'll say it again: liberals hate conservatives not because of what they do, but merely because they are conservatives.

They hate conservatives so much, they even lie about what conservatives do. I already gave the example above about "America is not at war against Islam." They also lied about Bush's support for the environment. Just because Bush didn't buy into Global Warming and support the Kyoto Protocol doesn't mean that he wasn't supportive of environmental causes. Global Warming is environmentalism taken to the extreme, and environmentalism doesn't depend on Global Warming. But just because Bush didn't go along with the extremists, he's suddenly not supportive of the environment.

Obama also claimed that the Bush presidency was one of the most secretive. That's beyond the pot calling the kettle black. That's more like an extremely coal-blackened pot calling a shiny chrome kettle black. The kettle isn't anywhere near black!

Obama has been so secretive about everything he's done from the overnight budget to the Porkulus passed without allowing anyone to read what's in it to getting comments on his policies. Do the liberals remark about this at all? Not the slightest peep. Because they're not really concerned about what Obama is doing, so long as he's a liberal. Because if he were conservative, they'd hate him.

Because for liberals, it's all about liberalism, regardless of the consequences and if you try to get in their way, they hate you just because of who you are.

Hate Crime taken to the extreme.

Bill O'Reilly: Maybe Obama Didn't Bow

Bill O'Reilly has a reputation for trying to see both sides of an issue and trying to be fair. The problem with trying to be fair is that sometimes you can take it too far. This evening, I watched his discussion about the "Obama Bow" to the King of Saudi Arabia and I would like to respectfully disagree with Bill's opinion.

Here's the video I'm referring to:



First off, Bill said that he would like to be fair to the White House when they said that Obama didn't bow and that it was just a respectful handshake. This is exactly what I'm talking about when I say that you can take "fairness" too far. Obama bowed. No doubt about it. He bowed and no amount of slick words can change that fact. Sometimes you gotta call a spade a spade. And this was definitely a deep bow.

Second, Bill tries to compare Bush's kiss and handholding to the bow. Again, this doesn't hold water. The kiss and handhold are customary cultural actions that are common in Arabian culture. Bush was being respectful of Arabian culture. Bush kissed the King and the King kissed Bush. Bush held the King's hand and the King held Bush's hand. They treated each other as equals.

When Obama bowed, if the Saudi king had bowed back, then again, it would have at least been equal treatment because each would have been showing respect to the other. Such was the case when Obama met the Queen of England. A video of their meeting shows that they both nodded their heads to each other as equals.

But when Obama bowed before the Saudi King, the treatment was vastly unequal. Obama was practically grovelling, while the King made no effort at all to make any equivalent gesture back to Obama.

As much as I respect Bill O'Reilly, I will disagree with him on this point. This relationship is more that of Slave and Master than President and King.

The Stealth Budget

OK, so the budget passed in Congress a few days ago, but... uh... What's in it?

Actually, it passed during the night and nobody said much about it. Even Fox News (normally so on top of these things) didn't make much noise about it. Hannity, Beck, O'Reilly, not much out of these guys. Pelosi was so happy when it passed, but there's not much being said about it.

I remember before it passed that they were saying a lot of Dems were unhappy with the budget, but suddenly it all went through in the middle of the night. What gives? If there was so much opposition, why didn't the Republicans try to filibuster?

Seriously, what's going on?

The Chameleon-in-Chief

Obama is suddenly talking nice about America. After the last few days' trash-talking the country he's supposed to be leading, today Obama is talking good about America. Has America suddenly stopped being arrogant (not that America was arrogant in the first place)? No, it's not America that changed, but rather Obama is blowing in the wind yet again.

You'd think that Americans would remember what he said just a couple of days ago and continue to be upset about his rudeness.

And how can you really know what Obama stands for when he insults America one day and coddles America the next, all for no apparent reason. As he said in his book, he's trying to be all things to all people - tabula rasa. All you see is a reflection of what you want him to be. But all the while he shifts and changes himself to reflect what's going on around him. Like a chameleon.

Liberal victims of Gun Violence?

As could be expected, liberals are blaming conservatives for the recent spate of gun violence. Can liberals do something original for a change? I mean, come on. Blame all conservatives just because there are a few whackjobs out there who went off their rockers? And one of these guys is a neo-Nazi - Nazi = National Socialist = Socialist = Liberal. Shows just how desperate libtards are. Sorry guys, if there's to be any finger pointing, the blame should go the opposite direction.

Not surprising that liberals would be blaming conservatives, however, since, as Ann Coulter says, "Liberals always have to be the victims, especially when they're oppressing others."

Obama Hates America?

He criticizes Capitalism. But Capitalism is a fundamental aspect of the USA.

He criticizes Bush. How lame is that? No other presidident has criticized his predecessor before.

Now he's expanding his criticism to directly attack America. Somehow, he thinks the people that elected him to office are arrogant.

Along the way he's brown-nosing in Europe, as if America didn't save Europe - many times (WW1, WW2, Communism, WoT, etc). What a disgrace. Why should he seek approval from the Europeans? He's not running for office over there. He should be looking out for America's best interests, not Europe's.

Obama promised to rebuild America's image. How can he improve America's image when he criticizes America and bows down to the Saudi king?

Take all these things together, and what do you get?

Obama Hates America.

At the end of the day, did he get approval of Europeans? Nope. Did he get any concessions from Europeans? Nope. Do Europeans like us more for his having visited? Nope. Did he get support for the stimulus package? Nope. Did he get additional help for the fight in Afghanistan? Nope.

So what did his visit achieve that would benefit America? Nothing at all.

But why would he try to do anything of benefit to America if he hates America?

"Come into my parlor," said the Geithner to the Banks

Geithner is less concerned about the economy than being able to exercise control over the banks. Getting bailout money means the banks have to allow the government to control how they operate. So when the banks pay back the money, the government loses the ability to control the banks.

So, when the banks try to pay back what funds they did receive, Obama says, "No".

But that's not enough. The Treasury has extended the deadline for banks to apply for funds. Apparently the banks aren't willing to prostitute themselves to the government.

Much like flies don't like to enter a spider's parlor.

Attacking Offshore Accounts

Reports from G20 are that governments will start going more aggressively after offshore income. Um.... hello? A lot of people that have offshore accounts are the same government bigwigs who are making these laws. And why would they have the money offshore? They want to hide it from their own governments because they wrote tax laws that are so oppressive that even they don't want to pay up. You really think that these people will be going after themselves? Not a chance. Tax laws were written by the rich in order to benefit the rich. Yet another red herring to keep people's attention away from what's really happening.

One quick way to solve the tax haven issue: stop taxing offshore income. And, if you don't want people to take their income offshore, then stop taxing people to death.

Plain and simple.

Oh, and as long as these guys are going after offshore accounts, why not go after George Soros? He's the biggest fraudster of them all.

America Not At War with Islam?

A Third Option in the Marriage Laws Debate

I've seen a lot of arguments pro and con regarding Gay Marriage: "We should have laws legalizing gay marriage" or "We should have laws saying marriage is only between one man and one woman".

But until now, I have not seen many people arguing against BOTH of these ideas. I know that there are alternatives, but you just don't see many of them being discussed. Paul Ibrahim has written an excellent article containing a third alternative.

Let's take a step back and look at another current issue and use it as an analogy... AIG Bonuses. Lots of people have been arguing back and forth about this issue: "AIG is right to pay the bonuses because it's in their contracts", or "AIG should not be paying bonuses with money from taxpayers". Well, did anyone ever stop to think that the government should NEVER have been involved in the situation to begin with?

If the government had not even bothered to give money to AIG in the first place, then the whole bonuses issue would be... a non-issue.

Same thing with marriage. The first marriage licenses were issued because there were racist laws restricting marriage between blacks and whites. Since then, the government has extended the marriage laws to cover so much more than they were originally intended to do. So if the government had never even bothered to muck around in what is, essentially, a religious issue, how likely is it that we would be seeing the current Gay Marriage debate?

What's Next?

Now that Obama has turned on his crap fountain to shower America with pile after pile of Socialist excrement, it amazes me that America doesn't just get completely fed up with his antics and throw the usurper out. But for some reason, Americans are extremely patient and slow to anger. In fact, at first, every time he did something, I would wonder "how much worse can it get?" But I've gotten past that, because every time he keeps sinking lower and lower. So now all I do is ask "What's Next?"

Take, for example, Obama's Aunt. You know, the one that's in America illegally and was living off government assistance for years after she had been told to leave? Well, she's just been told that her case is on hold for 10 months. Ummm... what?!? Why? Not only why did they put the case on hold, but why 10 months? Given the frightening speed at which new laws are being passed in Congress these days, I wouldn't be surprised if a new law were to be passed sometime within the next 10 months that would have the "unintented" effect of making her extradition case moot. In fact, I'm concerned that within the next 10 months we may see blanket amnesty for all illegals.

And then there is this whole Faux Outrage against AIG thing that was going on. By now most people have heard that among the underhanded tactics that ACORN used was bussing in a bunch of people to visit the houses of AIG executives. Nothing like getting people worked up and angry over some issue in order to score political points. But as I said... it's all fake. Now that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are paying exorbitant bonuses to their executives, where's the outrage? Where's ACORN? Where's all the Senate hearings? Hey, Chris Dodd, you were so militant about AIG, any comment on Fannie/Freddie?

And did you notice that never before in history has any president publicly dissed the previous administration? Ever. I mean as much as these people may have disagreed with each others' politics, at least they were civil to each other when the new administration took over. That is, until Obama. Bush (fils) never blamed Clinton. Clinton never blamed Bush (pere). Bush (pere) never blamed Reagan (not that he had anything to blame Reagan for). Reagan never blamed Carter (even though he had LOTS to blame Carter for). And so on. And it's not just that Obama blamed Bush for one or two things at the beginning, but he's constantly making snide references to the problems he "inherited" from "the previous administration". [start soapbox] OH FOR CRYING OUT LOUD YOU STUPID, WHINY LITTLE PISSHEAD! Grow up! You're not in Kindergarten any more. You're supposed to be the President (even though I don't believe you're eligible). You ran for the office, so at least have the decency to act presidential. Take responsibility for your own actions. Stop using Bush as an excuse for the bad decisions that you make. [end soapbox] Bush is NOT responsible for the current deficit! Yes, Bush increased the deficit, but blame for the current deficit increases can only be laid squarely in Obama's lap.

And how about Sarah Palin? Libtards are ramping up their attacks on the Sarahcuda. Why? Fear, most likely. But I just keep wondering what they're going to do next.

Another "what's next?" moment occurred while I was thinking about the upcoming Tax Day Tea Parties. Given that liberals are prone to sabotage... I wouldn't put it past them to hatch a plot to attend some Tea Parties and provoke violence in order to cast the Tea Parties into disrepute. Wouldn't that put a spanner in the works? Not that this will stop me from attending my local Tea Party. But it's interesting nevertheless.

So, what's next? As quickly as things have gotten bad, they're only going to get worse even more quickly. Obama has a way of making people angry so he can manipulate them into attacking one thing while he underhandedly does something else behind the scenes. You just have to keep looking beyond the news that they tell you up front and look to what they're trying to do while you're not looking.

British Newspaper Mocks Obama

England's Guardian Newspaper carried a story about how a simple question stumped the Teleprompted-in-Chief. This is truly priceless stuff:

Barack Obama, the World's Greatest Orator (™all news organisations), didn't exactly cover himself in glory when the BBC's political editor Nick Robinson asked him a question about who was to blame for the financial crisis. Normally word perfect, Obama ummed, ahed and waffled for the best part of two and a half minutes. Here, John Crace decodes what he was really thinking ...

Nick Robinson: "A question for you both, if I may. The prime minister has repeatedly blamed the United States of America for causing this crisis. France and Germany both blame Britain and America for causing this crisis. Who is right? And isn't the debate about that at the heart of the debate about what to do now?" Brown immediately swivels to leave Obama in pole position. There is a four-second delay before Obama starts speaking [THANKS FOR NOTHING, GORDY BABY. REMIND ME TO HANG YOU OUT TO DRY ONE DAY.] Barack Obama: "I, I, would say that, er ... pause [I HAVEN'T A CLUE] ... if you look at ... pause [WHO IS THIS NICK ROBINSON JERK?] ... the, the sources of this crisis ... pause [JUST KEEP GOING, BUDDY] ... the United States certainly has some accounting to do with respect to . . . pause [I'M IN WAY TOO DEEP HERE] ... a regulatory system that was inadequate to the massive changes that have taken place in the global financial system ... pause, close eyes [THIS IS GOING TO GO DOWN LIKE A CROCK OF SHIT BACK HOME. HELP]. I think what is also true is that ... pause [I WANT NICK ROBINSON TO DISAPPEAR] ... here in Great Britain ... pause [SHIT, GORDY'S THE HOST, DON'T LAND HIM IN IT] ... here in continental Europe ... pause [DAMN IT, BLAME EVERYONE.] ... around the world. We were seeing the same mismatch between the regulatory regimes that were in place and er ... pause [I'VE LOST MY TRAIN OF THOUGHT AGAIN] ... the highly integrated, er, global capital markets that have emerged ... pause [I'M REALLY WINGING IT NOW]. So at this point, I'm less interested in ... pause [YOU] ... identifying blame than fixing the problem. I think we've taken some very aggressive steps in the United States to do so, not just responding to the immediate crisis, ensuring banks are adequately capitalised, er, dealing with the enormous, er ... pause [WHY DIDN'T I QUIT WHILE I WAS AHEAD?] ... drop-off in demand and contraction that has taken place. More importantly, for the long term, making sure that we've got a set of, er, er, regulations that are up to the task, er, and that includes, er, a number that will be discussed at this summit. I think there's a lot of convergence between all the parties involved about the need, for example, to focus not on the legal form that a particular financial product takes or the institution it emerges from, but rather what's the risk involved, what's the function of this product and how do we regulate that adequately, much more effective coordination, er, between countries so we can, er, anticipate the risks that are involved there. Dealing with the, er, problem of derivatives markets, making sure we have set up systems, er, that can reduce some of the risks there. So, I actually think ... pause [FANTASTIC. I'VE LOST EVERYONE, INCLUDING MYSELF] ... there's enormous consensus that has emerged in terms of what we need to do now and, er ... pause [I'M OUTTA HERE. TIME FOR THE USUAL CLOSING BOLLOCKS] ... I'm a great believer in looking forwards than looking backwards.

Chapter 14 - Voldemort Visits the Muggles

Voldemort and Nagini are passing uncomfortably through a well-lit area, wishing they could return to to the darkness. Suddenly, Voldemort's worst fears are realized...



And what could possibly have scared Voldemort so much? None other than Hermione Granger...



But Bellatrix Lestrange quickly soothed Voldemort's anxiety.



Delores Umbridge also approached with some news favorable to Voldemort.





Even though their attacks against Hagrid had failed, they proceeded with their plans. They launched vicious attacks against Hermione.

Sirius Black saw the fight and came to Hermione's aid.





Apparently Voldemort chickened out of this fight too.



Wormtail was obviously forgetting that his gaffes were about as embarassing as Voldemort's stuttering.



And so it was that Voldemort went off on his first official visit to the Muggles as Minister of Magic. One visit was with the Muggle Queen.



Obviously the Queen was interested in a good laugh.

So Voldemort went to visit with another Muggle who got him to buy into some dangerous ideas.





Voldemort also prostituted himself to the Muggle who financed his education at Hogwarts.

Obama Bumbles his way through England

As if it weren't bad enough that Oblunder gave a Region 1 set of 25 DVDs to British Prime Minister Gordon Brown... during his visit to England, he gave the Queen.... wait for it.... an iPod!. No kidding.

Oh, but wait! That's not all! On the iPod is a recording of a Speech by Obama!

I mean, come on! If the Queen wanted an iPod, she could easily get one for herself. And if, by some awful mistake the Queen suddenly had a hankering to throw up, she could always find someone to get a recording of yet another godawful Obama speech.

Hellooooooo! She's the QUEEN OF ENGLAND! She can get pretty much whatever she darned well pleases.

Buckwheat really outdid himself with this one.

And then, as if that weren't bad enough, the Dimwit-in-Chief goes and BOWS to the King of Saudi Arabia. Bows!

A President NEVER bows to any King. Ever. Bowing to a King is a recognition that the King is your sovereign.



Update: Here is the video of the serf bowing to his master:

Obama Scandal List: 145 and Growing

Just a few days ago, I checked the Obama scandal list at ConservativeAmerican.org and the list had just made the 100 mark. Now, it's grown already to 145.

It's worth taking a look at the list because some of the scandals are not mentioned in the media much. Peter Andrew is doing an excellent job keeping his list up-to-date so that it remains the place to go for a very informative and well documented Obama Administration Scandals List.

Most recently added are 141 through 145.
