FUN: Gruzzle on Joe Wilson
Monday, September 21, 2009Joe Wilson’s Most Embarrassing Moments
Posted in September 16th, 2009
*** begin quote ***
So, even though I am center-right on most issues, I made this Gruzzle on poor Joe Wilson, the cretin congressman from South Carolina.
*** end quote ***
He did get the issue of coverage into the discussion. I’m not so sure that an “apology” was warranted. All politicians lie. They twist, distort, evade, and parse. If a child did half of it, they’d be in time out. (In my day, my Mom would extract some hair from my head to attract my attention to my failure to meet her standards.) So, I’d like to send the whole lot to time out a long time out by Getting Rid of Incumbent Politicians (i.e., voter enforced term limits)! My only question is if this is such a “crisis” why doesn’t it start until 2013. That and why the congress critters get a free pass. It’d be funny if this weren’t serious.

Obama’s Nontax Tax
On a Sunday show, the President offers a revealing definition.
*** begin quote ***
“Mr. Obama: “My critics say everything is a tax increase. My critics say that I’m taking over every sector of the economy. You know that. Look, we can have a legitimate debate about whether or not we’re going to have an individual mandate or not, but . . .””
*** end quote ***
If I can’t avoid it, then it’s a tax. Call it a “mandate”. Call it a “penalty”. Call it the “tooth fairy”. The IRS will ensure you pay it. If that’s not a “tax”, I don’t know what is!

There’s NO way to get this monster controlled.

POLITICAL: Politicians can’t be trusted
Sunday, September 20, 2009http://channel-surfing.blogspot.com/2009/09/wither-change.html

Wither change?
*** begin quote ***
I don’t want to use the word disappointment — and not just because it is still early in his presidency. I don’t want to use the word because it implies that the president somehow is letting down liberals. The reality is, of course, that he’s only doing what he told us he’d do — tack as much to the center as he could, while substituting bipartisanship for a principled commitment to a political philosophy.
*** end quote ***
Obama is nothing more than an opportunistic Chicago machine politician. When his lips move, he’s lying. JUST like any other politician of either side of the supposed aisle. The guns of gooferment are too dangerous in ANY politicians’ hand. Power corrupt; absolute absolutely. We need to cut the beast down to the absolutely minimal size to protect us from force or fraud. And, not a smidge more. They have really feather their own nests at our expense. Champion? Please!

INTERESTING: Gooferent can’t see the consequences

Belatedly, Egypt Spots Flaws in Wiping Out Pigs
Pigs were the champion garbage consumers in Cairo. Goats just don’t seem up to the task.
By MICHAEL SLACKMAN
Published: September 19, 2009
*** begin quote ***
When the government killed all the pigs in Egypt this spring — in what public health experts said was a misguided attempt to combat swine flu — it was warned the city would be overwhelmed with trash.
The pigs used to eat tons of organic waste. Now the pigs are gone and the rotting food piles up on the streets of middle-class neighborhoods like Heliopolis and in the poor streets of communities like Imbaba.
*** end quote ***
“unintended consequences”?
The only difference between their gooferment’s stupidity and ours is in size, scale, and topic.
TARP makes killing pigs look small. “Healthcare”, “Health Insurance”, or whatever they are trying to do will impact one SEVENTH of our economy. Misdirected swine flu versus psuedo climate change.
How stupid can gooferment be?
Very!

RANT: Who voted against defunding ACORN
Sunday, September 20, 2009http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2009/09/the_seven_senators_who_voted_a.html
September 15, 2009
The seven senators who voted against defunding ACORN
Ethel C. Fenig
*** begin quote ***
Now who were those seven senators who were apparently unfazed by ACORN’s bland unconcern of providing mortgage money to a supposed prostitute and her pimp, even counseling them on evading taxes? (Nine senators did not vote.)
# Dick Durbin (D-IL)
# Roland Burris (D-IL)
# Robert Casey (D-PA)
# Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY)
# Patrick Leahy (D-VT)
# Bernie Sanders (I-VT)
# Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI)
*** end quote ***
Would seem to be an easy vote.
This demonstrates the culture of corruption in DC.

POLITICS: The attempt to have welfare and warfare destroys us; just like LBJ did

Mark Steyn: Obama helping Putin restitch Iron Curtain
Scrapping of U.S. missile defense plans hands big victory to Russia’s new czar.
Mark Steyn
Syndicated columnist
*** begin quote ***
In a sense, the health care debate and the foreign policy debacle are two sides of the same coin: For Britain and other great powers, the decision to build a hugely expensive welfare state at home entailed inevitably a long retreat from responsibilities abroad, with a thousand small betrayals of peripheral allies along the way. A few years ago, the great scholar Bernard Lewis warned, during the debate on withdrawal from Iraq, that America risked being seen as “harmless as an enemy and treacherous as a friend.” In Moscow and Tehran, on the one hand, and Warsaw and Prague, on the other, they’re drawing their own conclusions.
*** end quote ***
Don’t you wonder how this one action is going to hurt our ability to be safe in the future?
If I was a foreign country, I wouldn’t trust us.
Would you?
We are clearly untrustworthy. And, we, the dollar, and the world will suffer from our failure.

RANT: The role of the police today — revenue agents
Saturday, September 19, 2009http://www.lewrockwell.com/grigg/grigg-w109.html
*** begin quote ***
Witness the case of Jamie Lockard, a 53-year-old resident of Lawrenceburg, Indiana, who was stopped last March on suspicion of driving while intoxicated (DWI). A roadside Breathalyzer test determined that Lockard’s blood alcohol was under the legal limit.
Since incriminating Breathalyzer results are regarded as infallibly conclusive for the purpose of securing a conviction, a negative result offers immediate exoneration – correct?
One would think so. And one would be wrong.
*** end quote ***
SENT TO A FRIEND:
And you AGREE with this?
HE RESPONDED:
I would like to see more respect for authority. Lack of it will get you in trouble, and rightly so.
THAT SENT ME INTO ORBIT!
Oh, yes, right or wrong, we can’t be disrespectful to the massa!
Authority EARNS respect.
Cops have become nothing more than revenue agents for the state. Roadside radar traps make them into highwaymen who robbing innocent travelers who fail to follow their posted warnings.
Seriously, who designs a road for NINETY or a HUNDRED, then posts it with 45, 50,55, 60 or 65, to nail the unsuspecting.
Seriously, roadside checkpoints for license, registration, insurance, drinking, drugs, and anything else we can think of, belong to an old WW2 movie about Nazi Germany. Where are your papers? Comrade, citizen, subject.
Argh!
Take DWI or DUI! It’s an excuse to hassle folks. OK, if you have an accident or, heaven forbid, hurt someone, then you should get the book tossed at you. (Unless your name is Ted Kennedy!) Otherwise, forget it. All the horror stories, come from repeat offenders — some with 10 or 15 “convictions” — or even police officers.
Sorry, but they have lost “respect”, because of their conduct.
The “Dial 911 and die!” is a toungue in cheek recognition that they are no more than a clean up squad. If they weren’t busy collecting revenue, then maybe they could go after real criminals.
End the drug war now. Pardon all the non-violent drug offenders. Close the FDA, DEA, and BATF.
Liberty and freedom for all!
