Comment o' the Day -- a Retort to #OneNation -- 'F*** JOBS'

Thanks to a Doug Powers tweet, we find West Texas Boy's refreshing retort to the collection of hippies, union thugs, Communists, Socialists and other crackpots that left the Washington Mall covered with refuse yesterday.


I've redacted the curse words to maintain my pristine G-rating, but you can visit the original to experience the full flavor.

I am so f***ing tired of hearing - from both sides of the spectrum - that something needs to be done about "jobs."

F*** "JOBS"

Jobs are a byproduct of healthy industry. They are not a goal in and of themselves and they most definitely are not something the government itself should be trying to encourage or create.

Jobs are what happen when someone has too much work to do by himself, so he gets someone to help. If you want to work, GO F***ING WORK. Start a f***ing business. Find something that you can do and do it and sell the product of your labor to others.

What? You don't want work for yourself? You want to work for someone else? Fine, but it's not businessowners' responsibility to employ people and its not the federal governments responsibility to somehow force them to. If you want a f***ing job, then AGITATE THE F***ING FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO EXPAND BUSINESS AND "JOBS" WILL COME. Make it easier for the people who actually do business and jobs will come as a byproduct. Jesus Christ, and you're also asking for higher taxes on the very people you need to create your precious JOBS? ARE YOU F***ING KIDDING ME?

WHAT THE F*** HAS HAPPENED TO THIS COUNTRY? Why does everyone want to be treated like a child? And the g****m federal government ENCOURAGES this s***.

I am so f***ing tired of this straight out of Marx s*** that somehow the people are just entitled to share in someone else's fortune and capital in the name of "jobs." GO MAKE YOUR OWN F***ING JOB.

Businesses aren't in the business of making "jobs," they're in the business of CREATING VALUE FOR THEIR OWNERS. When you say that a business should be making more JOBS, you are saying that the capital of those business owners should not actually belong to them and belongs to the "workers". Thanks a f***ing lot, Stalin.

"Fund Jobs Not Wars"

Has it every occurred to these people that only one of those is actually the responsibility of the federal government to fund, and its not "JOBS".

F*** f*** f*** f*** f***.

I am surly this morning and this isn't helping.

It's called the entitlement mentality and it's interwoven with the Democrat Party. Interestingly enough, the welfare state is collapsing around us -- across the globe -- and these numb-skulls are too dimwitted to realize it.

It's a shame electro-shock therapy has fallen out of favor.

Today's headlines from a border that's as "secure as it's ever been"

Mexican Military Crosses into US Side of Bridge


The Progreso International Bridge was closed down for a short time following an incident with the Mexican military. The Mexican military were allegedly chasing a speeding driver of Dodge Nitro truck. The driver crossed from the U.S. into Mexico. At the Mexican checkpoint, the driver turned around and fled back to the U.S. The Mexican military followed and crossed the international boundary on the bridge... As a result, the Progreso International Bridge was temporarily shut down on both sides.

Border Patrol Agents Receive Fire from Mexico


Gunmen from Mexico open fire on border patrol agents in the Valley... It happened this afternoon in in the town of Fronton, near Roma. Officials say men armed with guns across the border in Mexico fired several shots at officers who were in patrolling in the Valley. Authorities say no one was injured...

Mexico demands U.S. stop deporting illegal immigrant felons


A coalition of mayors from Mexico is blaming the U.S. for the exploding violence on the border, arguing (with a straight face) that if we would just stop deporting dangerous felons back to border cities in Mexico, much of the violence would go away...

Brownsville PD: Targets specific in spillover violence


Brownsville residents have "nothing to fear" from the spillover of drug war violence from Mexico, authorities said... "The people that go about their business and lead a regular life really have nothing to fear from this," Brownsville Police Chief Carlos Garcia said. "If you are not involved in illegal trade or organized crime, this won’t affect you..."

Comforting.

White House continues push for immigration reform


A White House official on Tuesday continued the administration's push for comprehensive immigration reform, indicating that a debate over the emotional issue may be underway sooner rather than later... Speaking at a think tank event in Washington, White House Assistant to the President for Domestic Policy Melody Barnes noted that Bob Menendez, a Democratic senator from New Jersey, said he planned to introduce a comprehensive immigration reform bill in the near future...

Remember, folks, there's nothing to worry about.

If you're not involved in the drug-trade, or jet-skiing in the wrong place, or simply wandering into the line of fire, you're as safe as safe can be.

We know this because Janet Napolitano, DHS Secretary, told us that the border is "as secure as it has ever been."

Imagine There's No Country -- It's Easy If You Try

Imagine that FDR's New Deal had ended the Great Depression prior to World War II.

Imagine that the trillions of dollars contributed by Americans to FDR's Social Security system hadn't been stolen by Congress, leaving the system underfunded by tens of trillions of dollars.

Imagine that LBJ's "Great Society" program -- consisting of endless housing projects and massive wealth transfers -- had propelled poor inner-city residents to prosperity.

Imagine that the Democrats' efforts to legalize 'Chain Migration' had not dramatically increased illegal immigration and resulted in the the Balkanization of large swaths of the United States.

Imagine that LBJ's Medicare program had been designed for efficiency and cost-effectiveness; had not resulted in fraud approaching $100 billion a year; and its trust fund had not been stolen by Congress and spent in the general fund with no regard for future needs.

Imagine that the Democrats' multi-decade push for welfare benefits hadn't resulted in a culture of dependency; hadn't encouraged more single-parent families; and hadn't resulted in more inner-city violence, crime and imprisonment.

Imagine that the United States Post Office is a paragon of efficiency, generating profits for taxpayers year after year.

Imagine that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac hadn't gone bankrupt, resulting in one of the most catastrophic financial crises in American history; that it hadn't been a "job shop for out of work Democrats"; that it hadn't been protected from audits by Barney Frank, Maxine Waters, and other Democrat politicians; and that it hadn't been mercilessly abused by Clinton administration cronies including Franklin Raines, Jamie Gorelick and Jim Johnson.

Imagine that the SEC and other financial regulators had discovered Bernard Madoff's fraud before it imploded; that it hadn't somehow ignored the impending derivatives meltdown; and that it had adequately policed AIG, Goldman Sachs and other "too-big-to-fail" companies that were backstopped by the taxpayers.

* * * * * * * * *

Can you imagine a United States of America where all of these big government, social engineering programs were successful?

I can't. In fact, none of them have been successful. That's a .000 batting average.

Nor can they ever be successful. Central planning fails every time when you compare it to free markets, private property, individual liberty and the magnificent system of government our country's founders created.

We know central planning fails. Every effort by the Soviet Union, by Cuba, by Venezuela, by North Korea, by Zimbabwe, and by Democrats in this country have failed, utterly and completely.

So how could anyone support the trillion-dollar "Stimulus" program, Cap-and-Trade, socialized medicine, a 2000-page "financial overhaul", and "comprehensive immigration reform" when Democrats rely upon big government to make things right?

We know with absolute certainty how all of these ill-fated programs will end up. They will be bankrupt, maddeningly inefficient and reminiscent of the DMV at the end of the month.

It's November or never to unwind them. Our children and grandchildren are depending upon us.
 

 

Killing the Texas Boaters Americans Won't Kill

Rio Grande Valley's KRGV television reports that another American was killed on Falcon Lake by an 'undocumented worker'.*

The frantic 911 call a wife made after her husband was shot by Mexican pirates has been released. It's a first hand account of those terrifying moments on the water as David and Tiffany Hartley came under attack. In the end only Tiffany would survive.

Dispatcher: Hello? Ma'am? Yes. Okay. Are you sure that your husband got shot?

Tiffany: Yes. In his head.

Dispatcher: Okay. Yeah. Was he thrown out of the jet ski that he's in the water or something?

Tiffany: He was thrown off the jet ski and I couldn't pick him up to get him on mine. (sobbing) Oh God.

Dispatcher: Ma'am? Were you shot at on the Mexican side or on the US side? So it was the Mexican Side. Okay, did you see anybody?

Tiffany: There were three boats.

Tiffany Hartley told deputies she and her husband David were jet skiing near the town of old Guerrrero. Hartley told investigators her husband was shot in the head and killed. She says she was forced to leave his body behind as the gunmen fired more bullets at her... Zapata County Sheriff Sigifredo Gonzalez Jr. thinks those boats were pirates working for the drug cartel. He's been warning residents for months to stay off the water. The pirates are patrolling the Mexican side of the lake and robbing boaters at gun point. Gonzalez wants authorities in Mexico to search for David Hartley's body, however he thinks it may already be too late.

...Hartley did tell authorities after the shooting she got help from a man on shore... The good Samaritan wants to remain anonymous because he fears for his life...

"Three boats approached them, waving guns talking in Spanish," he said. "They got scared, spooked then they heard the gunshots going on. She could see they were hitting the water and the water was coming up at them...all of a sudden she sees her husband flying off."

Tiffany told him she turned around to go take care of her husband but two pirates went after her jetski. One pirate held a gun to her head. Once he left she tried to pull her husband body onto her jetski but she didn't have the strength.

...CHANNEL 5 NEWS has been tracking at least five violent incidents on the lake over the past 5 months.

-April 30th: Four heavily armed men boarded two boats near the Old Guerrero area demanding money.
-May 6th: Two armed men approached a boat near marker 14 and demanded cash.
-May 16th: Five armed men boarded a boat on the United States side of the lake near marker 7.
-Aug 31st: Falcon lake pirates, using a small boat marked "Game Wardin" tried to stop a Texas fisherman.

Then of course the worst violence incident to date happened on Thursday September 30th when David Hartley was murdered. Authorities say the robbers are believed to be members of a drug trafficking organization. They're heavily armed using AK-47s or AR-15 rifles to threaten their victims.

Rather than sealing the border and shutting down Mexican drug cartels operating with impunity in the southwest, the White House is instead suing Arizona and its law enforcement arms to prevent it from protecting American citizens.

Remember this outrage when you enter the voting booth in November.

I truly hope Newsweek's Sharon Begley never needs the wonder drug known as Avastin

Decades from now, few will remember the name Sharon Begley. Even fewer will recall the malevolent Democrat newsletter known as Newsweek Magazine, which recently sold for $1 (overpriced, at that).

No, I don't mean an issue. I mean the entire freaking magazine.

Anyhow, on 28 August 2009, Begley penned one of the most disturbing pieces of unvarnished propaganda ever seen on American soil: it was entitled The Five Biggest Lies in the Health Care Debate.

Begley was doing her best to move reluctant voters left while encouraging Democrat politicians to pass the 2,400-page collection of fecal matter known as ObamaCare. Among her amazing collection of lies?

You'll have no choice in what health benefits you receive. The myth that a "health choices commissioner" will decide what benefits you get seems to have originated in a July 19 post at blog.flecksoflife.com... In fact, the House bill sets up a health-care exchange...

Really? The child-only health insurance market has already been decimated by Obamacare. McDonald's is reported to be dropping their employee health plans and Principal Financial is exiting the health insurance business altogether.

But, sure, you'll have plenty of choices. Government-run care. Or government-run care.

No chemo for older Medicare patients. The threat that Medicare will give cancer patients over 70 only end-of-life counseling and not chemotherapy—as a nurse at a hospital told a roomful of chemo patients, including the uncle of a NEWSWEEK reporter—has zero basis in fact...

In fact, Sharon (if that is your name), perhaps you saw the following headline: "Susan G. Komen Foundation and Ovarian Cancer Alliance Decry First-Ever Medicare Denials of FDA-Approved Cancer Drugs.

That's right: cancer patients are fighting for drugs that are now deemed too expensive thanks to Donald Berwick, the man Obama wouldn't subject to Senate scrutiny.

Illegal immigrants will get free health insurance. The House bill doesn't give anyone free health care (though under a 1986 law illegals who can't pay do get free emergency care now, courtesy of all us premium paying customers or of hospitals that have to eat the cost). Will they be eligible for subsidies to buy health insurance? The House bill says that "individuals who are not lawfully present in the United States" will not be allowed to receive subsidies...

Nice try, dimwit.

All efforts to amend the health care bills to require a photo ID, a Social Security number and similar measures were defeated on party lines. This is consistent with a June 2009 report ("If the American people found out...") that "[pro-illegal immigration group] La Raza said if they get this, they don't even care about amnesty, because they've fixed it so that one family member can apply for all extended family members."

Put simply, do you think the same administration that sued Arizona for enforcing immigration law will deny health care to undocumented Democrats aliens?

Death panels will decide who lives. On July 16 [2009] Betsy McCaughey, a former lieutenant governor of New York and darling of the right, said on Fred Thompson's radio show that "on page 425," "Congress would make it mandatory…that every five years, people in Medicare have a required counseling session that will tell them how to end their life sooner, how to decline nutrition." Sarah Palin coined "death panels" in an Aug. 7 Facebook post...

Not that the propagandists at Newsweek are paying attention, but Obama's budget director Peter Orszag all but admitted that Obamacare is a rationing system. And those who decide the rules for rationing will, in effect, serve as a death panel.

The government will set doctors' wages. This, too, seems to have originated on the Flecksoflife blog on July 19. But while page 127 of the House bill says that physicians who choose to accept patients in the public insurance plan would receive 5 percent more than Medicare pays for a given service, doctors can refuse to accept such patients, and, even if they participate in a public plan...

As the state of California has discovered, Obamacare does -- in fact -- set price controls. And, as everyone but the posse of economic illiterates known as the modern Democrat Party knows, price controls determine wages.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Sharon Begley has proven herself a disgraceful hack. She might even be 'historic'. Because when a 'journalist' parrots such obvious, despicable lies in the service of a tyrannical central government, he or she has become an organ of destruction.

I hope Sharon Begley never needs a treatment of Avastin -- or another pharmaceutical innovation. Because it is all but certain that our current level of care will be destroyed by a huge collection of federal bureaucracies that can't even run a weather-stripping program.

And these Democrat politicians will be long gone when the entire system collapses.


Putting government spending into perspective

Ken from S.F. writes:

Putting specific government spending into context helps point out the insanity.

The latest comparing the postal service budget overruns with the federal tax revenue by state.

Unfortunately, after 20 minutes of searching, I can only find 2007 numbers. Figure they would be pretty easy to get a hold of.

Postal Service expects $6 billion loss this year

Federal Tax Revenue By State

I wonder how the people in these states would feel if asked how they feel that all of the money taxpayers pay to the federal government is equivalent to the budget overrun of the USPS?

Now: I would like you to imagine the day -- in the not too distant future -- when the federal government controls every aspect of health care delivery. Or, roughly, one-sixth of the economy.

Get your surgeries in now, before it's too late.


Principal Financial: Thanks, Democrats! We're Exiting Health Insurance Because Your Insane, Soviet-Style Central Planning Will Bankrupt Us

Brilliant. Not only will small business be forced to file 200 (on average) 1099 forms -- up from 10, but now health insurers are being driven out of the market altogether. This is Soviet-style central planning at its best. And ObamaCare won't even kick in until 2014. But maybe Barney Frank and Nancy Pelosi will find a way to blame it on Bush.

Principal Financial to Stop Selling Health Insurance


By REED ABELSON --- Published: September 30, 2010

Principal Financial said that it planned to stop selling health insurance, another sign of upheaval emerging among insurers as the health law starts to take effect...

And when this disastrous health care bill (the 2,400 pages that no one read) fails, which it inevitably will, they'll blame you -- the taxpayers -- for not spending enough. Or they'll blame the rich. Or the few remaining health insurers. Or the drug companies.

But they'll never blame themselves, the bloated, unconstitutional federal bureaucracy.

And their demands will never end. Because once the Constitution has been breached, the limits on government created by our founders will have been tossed aside like kindling.

If you want your children to have a chance at economic survival, you better vote Republican. Because there is a difference between the two parties. Republicans aren't Marxists.

It's November or never.

The Democrat's secret rationale for their crushing new 1099 reporting regulations: they set the stage for implementation of the VAT tax

A little-documented byproduct of ObamaCare kicks in on January 1, 2012. Every business will be hit with new regulations that require any person, company or organization to document their purchases of goods or services. If you transact business exceeding $600, you will be required to fill out an IRS 1099 form and send a copy both to the business partner and the IRS.

On average, small businesses will now have to complete more than 200 1099-forms (a 20-fold increase) per year.

In total, the new regulations will suck tens of billions of dollars out of the private sector. It will kill hiring by small businesses and destroy investment in capital equipment. In other words, it's a socialist's dream.

A caller to Mark Levin's show last night described a possible rationale for the onerous new regulations: they set the stage for the Democrats' new VAT tax, which will levy a toll on each and every level of production.

In short, the 1099 regulations will allow the Democrats to implement crushing new VAT taxes.

Thus -- not only will income taxes increase across the board on January 1... not only are state taxes rising... not only are energy prices rising due to the Obama drilling moratorium and possible new energy taxes... not only are new environmental regulations certain to increase the cost of food... not only are health insurance premiums rising even now to compensate for ObamaCare's bizarre dictates... but the VAT tax puts the icing on the cake.

Who's to blame?

Harry Reid is directly responsible for both the 1099 provision and the increased penalties for 40 million small-business owners in America... Harry Reid [also] supported every tax increase that President Obama has signed into law...

...Why would any Nevada resident who is experiencing a 14.9 percent unemployment rate vote for a senator who is voting to reduce cash flow by billions from his own state? Why would any small-business owner vote for a senator who not only voted for a historical regulation of massive proportions but was instrumental in creating this regulation? Why would any Nevada mayor, city councilperson, educator, or other government worker vote for a senator who created legislation to reduce sales tax revenue from their citizens, further exasperating the fiscal problems of their budgets?

The Democrats jammed thousands of pages of health care 'law' down the American people's throats without even taking the time to read the bill.

The ramifications -- like the 1099 debacle -- will be complex, unpredictable and inevitably, like all other central planning exercises, disastrous.

Are you motivated for November yet?

Harry Reid or Sharron Angle: Who's the Extremist?

Harry Reid likes to paint his opponent in this year's Senate race -- conservative Republican Sharron Angle -- as some sort of extremist because she believes in the Constitution. But Sharron Angle didn't nationalize the health care system against the will of the people. She didn't put America on a trajectory of economic ruin with unprecedented "Stimulus" spending. She doesn't favor open borders like Reid. And, best I can tell, Sharron Angle isn't involved in the shady, sleazy deals that Reid's been entangled with for decades.

From 2002 to 2005, Senator Reid was exceedingly generous with Christmas gifts for service workers at his luxury condo. He gave away $3,000 in gifts and gratuities for elevator and cleaning personnel. Unfortunately, the money came from campaign contributions and not his own bank account. It was only after the Associated Press' John Solomon discovered the sleazy behavior that Reid claimed it was a clerical issue and a Republican smear campaign.

In 2004, for example, after Reid made a profit of $1.1 million on a real estate deal, he failed to fully disclose the details as required by the Senate. And his partner was reported to have extremely odd ties to the casino business and reportedly surfaced in investigations into organized crime and bribery.

In 2005, Sen. Reid sponsored an $18 million earmark to build a bridge over the Colorado River. Coincidentally, a few miles from the bridge's location is a 160-acre parcel of land owned by one Senator Harry Reid. So, yes, Reid's own earmark greatly increases the value of his huge swath of land.

Curiously, Reid had received 60 of the acres from an oil magnate friend -- the owner of Haycock Petroleum -- for a total of $10,000 in 2002, though its assessed value was $120,000. And Reid continues to underreport the value of the land, though nearby sales put its real value at nearly half a million.

Harry Reid's three sons and his son-in-law are also concerned with serving the people. All have served as lobbyists and have blurred the line between family connections and special interests. In fact, his son-in-law helped increase lobbying fees at DC's Holland & Hart from $100K to $2 million in only one year. A series of LA Times investigative reports suggested that Reid had introduced legislation and pressured regulators to unblock a huge real estate deal fronted a heavy Reid contributor who also happened to be the employer of Reid's son Leif.

At the same time, Reid was vice-chair of the Senate Ethics Committee. When asked specifically about conflicts of interest involving family member-slash-lobbyists, he insisted there were none. Yet the Senate's rules have since changed to prohibit lobbying by family members, but I'm sure that's just a coincidence.

The Times' story found that mining companies paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to lobbying firms, and the payments just happened to follow around Reid's son-in-law from firm to firm. Rory Reid's services were also sought out by mining firm Placer Dome, according to the Times.

Reid's son-in-law was also engaged by the American Gaming Association, a helicopter tour company fighting restrictions near the Grand Canyon, chemical companies seeking deals in Nevada and the Hughes Corporation as it looked for land near Vegas. Sen. Reid helpfully advanced all of their agendas -- purely for altruistic reasons -- and even helped a partner in the law firm that employed all of Reid's sons get a right-of-way moved off his property.

"Reid never told his Senate colleagues or the public that the provisions he authored, some of which were technically and not apparently beneficial to anyone, were, in fact, introduced on behalf of clients who paid his sons and son-in-law over $2 million."

But Harry Reid's public service wasn't yet complete. In running the Senate, Harry's "spread the wealth" -- using the taxpayers' money to jam through socialized medicine with various bribes, payoffs and "incentives".

When Sen. Mary Landrieu of Louisiana was undecided about DemCare, Reid ensured she received a $300 million "bonus" for her state. Chris Dodd received a $100 million medical facility in Connecticut (any guess as to what it might be called?).

In short, Harry Reid is a menace to this country. His opponent, Sharron Angle, is not.

Remember in November. And support Sharron Angle now -- before it's too late.

Compare and Contrast: Karl Marx' 10 Point Program of Communism and the Obama-Pelosi-Reid Agenda

According to Karl Marx, the following ten elements were requisite conditions for "a transition from capitalism to communism."

1. Abolition of property in land and application of all rents of land to public purposes. Washington Examiner: The great Obama land grab: "White House officials have been meeting quietly with environmental groups to map out government plans for acquiring untold millions of acres of both public and private land... The federal government, as the memo boasted, is the nation's 'largest land manager.' It already owns roughly one of every three acres in the United States... This is apparently not enough."

2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax. National Taxpayer Union: The top 1% of taxpayers already pay 40% of all income taxes. The top 5% pay 61% of all income taxes. And the top 25% pay 87%. The bottom 50% pay 3% of all income taxes.

3. Abolition of all right of inheritance. USA Today: "Estate tax to return in 2011, and it could hurt ordinary folks."

4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants [those leaving the country] and rebels. New York Post: The President's new jobs-killer: "...President Obama explicitly targeted the industry for two massive tax hikes. First, he'd ban oil and gas companies from using the 'Section 199' tax credit, a measure for domestic manufacturers enacted in 2004 to boost US employment... Second, he wants to end 'dual capacity' protection for US energy firms... Without this shield against double taxation on foreign revenues, American companies would be competing on an uneven global playing field... Yet, by the federal government's own economic model, these tax hikes would lead to huge, immediate job losses."

5. Centralisation of credit in the hands of the State, by means of a national bank with State capital and an exclusive monopoly. New York Post: Democrats, Fannie Mae still issuing subprime loans, even after meltdown. And CNS News: Obama to Nationalize Student Lending with Pending Budget Bill.

6. Centralisation of the means of communication and transport in the hands of the State. Tom's Hardware: "Bill Allows Obama Power to Shut Down Internet." And "Advertisers on talk radio targeted by Congressional investigations." And "In an exclusive interview with Rolling Stone Magazine, President Obama made the extraordinary claim that Fox News is 'destructive to [America's] long-term growth.'."

7. Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the State; the bringing into cultivation of waste-lands, and the improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan. National Legal and Policy Center: "Obama Arranges Takeover of GM and Chrysler; Auto Workers Union Gets Huge Stake." And Discover: "New EPA Rules Clamp Down on Mountaintop Removal Coal Mining." And News 9 Oklahoma: "EPA to Crack Down on Farm Dust."

8. Equal liability of all to labour. Establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture. Wall Street Journal: "SEIU’s Stern Tops White House Visitor List." And The Blaze: "Obama’s OFA, Churches Join Democratic Socialists for Saturday March in Washington."

9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries; gradual abolition of the distinction between town and country, by a more equitable distribution of the population over the country. Heritage: "The Clean Water Restoration Act Means Troubled Waters For Property Owners": "...The Waxman-Markey global warming bill is far and away the most worrisome environmental measure currently working its way through Congress, but it is certainly not the only cause for concern... S. 787, the Clean Water Restoration Act (CWRA)... would do much more harm than good, especially for farmers, ranchers, developers, energy producers, and other property owners."

10. Free education for all children in public schools. Abolition of children's factory labour in its present form. Combination of education with industrial production.: New York Sun: "Obama Tells Teachers Union He Opposes Vouchers." And Big Hollywood: "[Teachers' Union] NEA: Obama’s Ministry of Propaganda."

* * * * * * * * *

No federal government has damaged the American free market more than this one. No federal government has stolen more employment, more freedom, more private property -- from this and future generations -- than this one. No government has created more regulations, more unconstitutional dictates, more -- dare I say it -- slavery than this one.

Now, given all of these facts: can there be any doubt what Barack Obama meant when he twice proposed, "a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded" as our military?

The Obama-Democrat Left has mounted the first successful counter-revolution -- against the American Revolution -- in our history. Using an incessant series of attacks by a fifth column, the intent of the counter-revolution is to eradicate the effects of the American Revolution. The most magnificent society ever created hangs in the balance.


The midterm elections in November represent our last chance to salvage the American experiment.

Marshal your parents, your children, your siblings, your neighbors, your coworkers -- marshal everyone you know, because the stakes could not be higher.

The Democrats' Deficit Lies

On September 8th 2010, 22 months after his election, Barack Obama blamed George W. Bush for a series of record-setting deficits: "When I walked into office, there wrapped in a nice bow was a $1.3 trillion deficit."

In fact, according to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), that statement is a lie. Nancy Pelosi and an overwhelming Democrat majority have now controlled Congressional spending for four long years. And, in fact, then-Senator Barack Obama voted for every budget put before him by Congressional Democrats.

When President Bush left office, the CBO projected the total 10-year budget deficit at $4 trillion. That projected deficit has essentially doubled under Barack Obama -- to $7.68 trillion.

When Pelosi and Reid took control of congress nearly four years ago, the annual deficit was a measly $161 billion. It is now $1.2 trillion. On the day Pelosi took over as Speaker of the House, she promised, "Our new America will provide unlimited opportunity for future generations, not burden them with mountains of debt."

Pelosi is a bald-faced liar.

Democrats love to talk about how President Bush 'ruined' a $200 billion Clinton 'surplus' (let's ignore Social Security, Medicare and other 'off-the-books' entitlement deficits). But the architect of the surplus was a Republican Congressman named John Kasich, now a candidate for Governor in Ohio. Republicans forced budget austerity upon Clinton, whose big government agenda had been repudiated in the '94 midterm elections.

And the Democrats casually ignore the toll of 9/11 -- from the 3,000 souls lost that day to the trillion-dollar economic impact. The airline industry was decimated by the terrorist attacks and have not, in fact, recovered yet. Hundreds of billions were spent on counter-terrorism, homeland security, smashing the Taliban and deposing the Iraqi despot who acted as a clearinghouse for terrorism.

In January 2007, when the Pelosi-Reid Congress took control, the 10-year CBO estimate was a $379 billion surplus. Four years later -- after unchecked Democrat control -- the 10-year estimate is a $7.2 trillion deficit.

Steve Moore writes, "This deterioration of the nation's fiscal situation is arguably the worst in United States history, and it was brought to us courtesy of a congressional leadership that pledged 'pay as you go' budgeting to bring the budget into balance."

* * * * * * * * *

Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and the Democrats have now controlled the purse-strings of Congress for four long years. In 2010 you will have to make a choice.

Can you and your family survive two more years of Pelosi and Reid?

The end always justifies the means with the leftist cranks who control the modern Democrat Party. The preposterous loons at ThinkProgress -- who actually appear to long for the days of the old Soviet Union -- are shrieking in agony over Sen. Jim DeMint's 'obstructionism'.

Two weeks ago, the Progress Report warned of a nightmare scenario where a single senator decides to object to virtually every measure being considered by the Senate, a maneuver could effectively bring the entire body to a screeching halt. Now, Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC) has come close to turning this nightmare into a reality...

...DeMint can get away with this stunt because the Senate’s rules are ripe for abuse. Unless all 100 senators agree to begin and end debate on a bill without objection, the dissenting senators can force up to 60 hours of uninterrupted debate before a final vote can take place...

Oh, the humanity. In truth, the less Congress meets, the better off the American people are, based upon the unconscionable actions of the 111th Congress.

Never once does the insipid Ian Millhiser nor his crack band of dimwit commenters mention the reason for DeMint's action. Namely, he is trying to turn back the Democrats' unprecedented threats to spurn representative government and transform the lame-duck session into a Marxist wish-list.

Even if the American people repudiate Democrat policy by tossing 30, 40, 50 or 100 Democrats out of Congress, The Hill reports that Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and Senator Majority leader Harry Reid will try to stuff 20 pieces of climate change, pro-union, anti-freedom legislation down the American people's throats.

So who started this war of obstructionism? Who do you think?

• Who filibustered judicial candidates for the first time in American history? Democrats.

• Who threatens on an almost daily basis to change the Senate rules -- to kill the filibuster -- when it no longer suits their needs? Democrats.

• Who keeps trying to silence the opposition by hauling their advertisers before Congress? Democrats.

So when the morons at ThinkProgress open their mouths to complain about 'obstructionism', remind them that it is they who despise free speech and the marketplace of ideas.

Because they don't care what the American people think.

Jim DeMint for President, b****es.
