Oil Spill and Green Energy

How many times is Obama going to repackage Cap and Tax?  Until he gets it passed I suppose.  We rejected it when they presented it as a Global Warming combat measure.  Unfortunately it was at the same time that Climate Gate broke and the coldest spring in 25 years hit the US.  I have to give credit to you guys, some of you actually woke up and paid attention to that load of bullshit.  I have hope for you yet.

So then they repackaged it as a Jobs bill.  The one's that woke up for the Climate Gate debacle were still awake however.  We looked at what happened in Spain when they implemented a green energy bill.  They lost 2.5 jobs for every 1 green job that was created.  I read this morning that each green job created also took $774,000 in government subsidies to get it going.  Damn!  I wish they would give me $774,000 and then leave me the hell alone.  With that type of cash and a free market I could employ 100 people at a small business.  Anyway, we didn't buy the jobs package either.

So now, in Rahms' words, he isn't letting a good disaster go to waste.  Perhaps Obama is thinking the third time is the charm.  They are now repackaging the Cap and Tax as an environmental bill.  They are trying very hard to link it to the oil spill.  The bill will have nothing to do with drilling, well management, or even ecological recovery efforts.  What it will do is impose new taxes on small business because of the size of their "carbon footprint".  But it's the "socially responsible" thing to do.  You have to wonder why the Coast Guard is throwing up barriers, the State of Louisiana is being denied the ability to set up barrier islands, and none of the proven ingenious ways the public has provided to soak up the oil are being used.  IMHO if something does clean it up, then there is no more crisis and he has nothing to push his Cap and Tax bill with.  Wouldn't that be sad?  If the President of the United States allowed this horrible ecological disaster to continue because of his political agenda?  I'll put some coffee on and you sleepy heads can think about that one.

S.3480 - Big Brothers hand on the Internet

The Protecting Cyberspace as a National Asset Act of 2010, S.3480 is the new attempt to shut down the voices that oppose the Government.  This bill is too much power for any President, Republican or Democrat.  It will single handled allow him to shut down any site that is deemed a "Threat" to the state of the nation.  I don't understand what Lieberman is thinking by introducing this bill.  For one thing, it's obvious that he has no clue how technology works.  You can't just install a "Kill Switch" on the internet.  You have to shut down one server/site at a time.  He reminds me of the older folks who call the help desk and say "The internet is down, can you reboot it please?" 

The internet is comprised of millions of servers all across our nation.  If you graph it out it looks like a huge spider web.  That's why it's called the World Wide Web. DUH!  The only way they can shut it down is one site at a time.  This is not just an Obama or Lib thing, this is too much for the Conservatives or the Tea Party too.  Write to your Senator and try to explain this to them.  Urge them to vote down S. 3480 for the sake of freedom.  Freedom of speech and freedom of commerce.

Patraeus Faints

Our best wishes and prayers go out to General Patraeus.  He had an incident of light headedness today at the congressional hearing.  The news sources claim it was jet lag and dehydration.  I hope that is all it is.  We will keep him in our thoughts as he recovers.

Overwhealmed!

Sometimes the amount of stupidity in the air is just overwhealming.  Obama is eating ice cream on the shore of the gulf and drinking Bushwhackers.  The crude just keeps flowing and the shores just keep getting soiled. 

Britain and Norway are refused access to bring ships to the Gulf and help with the cleanup, but the Obama administration says "There are no pending applications from other countries to help".  So paperwork is at the bottom of it? 

Obama is threatening to freeze BP assets here in the US and bringing us to the brink of war with Great Britain for depriving their pensioners their payments. 

Jindal is defying Obama and building his protective barriers in the Ocean.  This morning Gibbs was asked about that and his response was "Oh no!  He's not defying us, we are behind this effort 100%"  Liar!  You just don't have the caracas to stand up to him! 

Now they are going to use the disaster to push through cap and tax!  Because it will prevent further ecological damage!  How do you feel about being forced to ride a bike to work or drive an electric car that costs you three times more to run?  I don't like it.

Obama has done everything but give Hezbollah permission to destroy Israel.  He has said that Israel needs to give concessions to them and allow the Humanitarian "Aide" ships from Iran through without search.  We all know that those ships are loaded with weapons and it's just a good excuse for a fight.

So where does that leave us?  He has pissed off all of our Allies.  He has been sympathetic with our enemies.  The state clerk in Hawaii is willing to testify in court that there is no birth certificate nor has there ever been a birth certificate for him in that office.  Germany is on the brink of collapse and Greece is already gone.  We can't get a good count on the people out of work because all they count are the unemployment checks.  They quit counting you after they quit paying you apparently. 

My humble opinion is that we are in a pot that is getting ready to boil.  You have massive unemployment so people sit around with nothing to do but get angry over the fact that there are no jobs.  You have more layoffs on the way because the government is taxing small business out of business.  You have all of our allies turning against us, and all of our enemies salivating over the possiblity of taking us over.  As the summer progresses the pot is going to boil dry and leave the gunpowder in the kettle.   Then it will just take one spark.  One spark and the second civil war will begin.  Are you ready?

Helen Thomas

Nuff Said folks!

Our Social Security

Franklin Roosevelt, a Democrat, introduced the Social Security (FICA) Program. He promised:


********************************************
Then: That participation in the Program would be Completely voluntary,

NOW: No longer Voluntary
********************************************
THEN: That the participants would only have to pay 1% of the first $1,400 of their annual Incomes into the Program,

NOW: 7.65% on the first $90,000
********************************************
THEN: That the money the participants elected to put into the Program would be deductible from their income for tax purposes each year,

NOW: No longer tax deductible
********************************************
THEN: That the money the participants put into the independent 'Trust Fund' rather than into the general operating fund, and therefore, would only be used to fund the Social Security Retirement Program, and no other Government program

NOW: Under Johnson the money was moved to The General Fund and Spent
********************************************
THEN: That the annuity payments to the retirees would never be taxed as income.

NOW: Under Clinton & Gore Up to 85% of your Social Security can be Taxed Since many of us have paid into FICA for years and are now receiving a Social Security check every month --
********************************************
Finding that we are getting taxed on 85% of the money we paid to the Federal government to 'put away' -- you may be interested in the following:

------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- ----
Q: Which Political Party took Social Security from the independent 'Trust Fund' and put it into the general fund so that Congress could spend it?

A: It was Lyndon Johnson and the democratically controlled House and Senate.
------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --
Q: Which Political Party eliminated the income tax deduction for Social Security (FICA) withholding?

A: The Democratic Party.
------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- -----
Q: Which Political Party started taxing Social Security annuities?

A: The Democratic Party, with Al Gore casting the 'tie-breaking' deciding vote as President of the Senate, while he was Vice President of the US
------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- -
AND MY FAVORITE:

Q: Which Political Party decided to start giving annuity payments to immigrants?

A: That's right! Jimmy Carter and the Democratic Party.

Immigrants moved into this country, and at age 65, began to receive Social Security payments! The Democratic Party gave these payments to them, even though they never paid a dime into it!
------------ -- ------------ --------- ----- ------------ --------- ---------
Then, after violating the original contract (FICA), the Democrats turn around and tell you that the Republicans want to take your Social Security away! The worst part about it is uninformed citizens believe it and believe that the Democats are "for the people."

Clinton and Rham take one for the team

As predicted, Rahm is going to fall on his sword for Barack.  The surprise in all of this is that Bill is mixed up too.  I would have thought that Clinton would have had more sense than that.  But then again, he knew that his butt was safe because he has no authority to offer the job and is out of the political arena for all intents and purposes.  The thing that bothers me the most is that Fox is the only one reporting ANY of this.  This could potentially be as big or bigger than Watergate.  On my way down to our vacation spot this weekend I listened to MSNBC, CNN, HLN, Fox, ABC, POTUS, and Bloomberg.  Fox was the only one talking about it.  Everyone else was following Gary Coleman's death.

ABC has a tiny story on it from May 28th.  CBS has one from May 29th, buried in the search as well of course.  CNN did have the story listed without searching, but you had to drill down three levels to get to it under Politics for the US.  So far only Fox and Drudge have lead with the story. 

For a story that is potentially larger than Watergate, the press appears to be avoiding it like the plague.  So what do we do now?  Obama has assigned people to "Look Into" the matter and of course they found nothing.  Republican's have called for Holder to assign a special prosecutor to investigate, and he has refused to assign anyone.  So the coverup continues.  Even if they do get it to move forward, Rahm will fall on his sword for Obama and it will all be swept under the rug, like any good Chicago scandal.
