Everyone Pays

We all know that Democrats (and some Republicans) just love taxes.  It gives them money to spend on things that helps them maintain power.  And if they can't raise the money they need, they just borrow it from our unborn grandkids, but that's another post.
 
Most recently, our Congressfolks have written a combined 2,500 pages of drivel that purports to nationalize our health care system, while criminalizing what I would consider First Amendment rights of all Americans.  
 
The folks at Hot Air summarized the entire purpose of the Obamaphiles in one statement:

"Has the middle class discovered the biggest lie of the Obama campaign yet? When statist policies get imposed, everyone pays. Everyone."

If you are interested, here's more updates on the Health Care Fiasco from HotAir:  Here comes the taxes!

That hopenchange feels real good, don't it!

Good Thing We Stopped Deploying Missile Defense

This post writes itself:
 
Weekly Standard:  Iran Mocks West, Flaunts Nuclear Program
 

"Iran is openly flaunting its nuclear weapons program to the Western media, knowing that there is not the collective will at the United Nations Security Council to impose even moderate sanctions. The news of the Qom reactor was actually leaked by the Iranians, when they sent a letter to the IAEA to disclose the existence of the site."

So much for the open hands, conciliatory tone and the world's dictators just lovin' us.  
 
i feel so much safer now.

One Crazy Summer

It was a crazy summer.  Family issues.  Political Issues. Business Issues.  Personal Issues.  Cat Issues.

I'm back.  

Enjoy the snark.

Lying Bastards

While not a surprise, you can just feel the dishonesty when you hear the weasels shilling for Obama's "Tax Cut":

"...the "tax cut" referred to amounts to an average $8-a-week reduction in Social Security taxes deducted from paychecks (and does not relieve those workers from the tax liability at year's end). And, for those who pay no income tax, it is in the form of checks called "rebates." If you don't pay taxes there is nothing to rebate. What they amount to are transfers from Americans who pay taxes to those who don't, a.k.a. welfare."  Obama's Tea-Leaf Readers

So, if I'm saving $450 bucks in withholding, I guess you could imply I might gain about $30 in interest during the year I hold that money before I have to give it to the bastards anyway.  That's IF you pay taxes.  If you don't actually pay any tax, you just get free money from those who do.  

So, essentially he saved me one tank of gas for the car.  Or less, if cap and trade passes.

Big whoop.

Lying bastards@!

Obama's Wonderful Sense of Irony

Ya gotta love this guy.  Here's today's choice quote:

"A high-speed rail corridor through the industrial Midwest – linking Toledo, Detroit, Chicago and more – is one of the potential recipients of billions of dollars in funding in federal grants announced Thursday morning by President Barack Obama"  

Story here at the FREEP.

He dismantles the car companies and uses our scarce tax dollars to build a high speed train that will NEVER break even as a business, so we can travel to Chicago to go shopping!  

And we are supposed to feel good about this?

Dumping on Obama

It's getting boring, dumping on our new President.  He makes it soooo easy.  He's a bumblng fool of a socialist, all stoked up wtih his Saul Alinsky methodology and supported by the drive-by media.  He's Jimmy Carter all over again, with the sickly smile and a Kenyan half brother as the family buffoon.  

At some point, his reign will end and our country can get back to normal.  But we have to wait until 2010 to boot the useless Democratic Congress from our midst.  

My Easter Greeting to the Pirates

My plans to kick some Somali Pirate Ass:  

1)  Get 6 Navy Seals.  Launch them from a covert op submarine about 100 feet beneath the life boat where those pirates are holding our guy hostage.  Have them swim upward and explode out of the water.  2 Seals grab the hostage and pull him off the boat.  The others take one pirate each and kill him.  

2)  After the hostage is secured, we pick up the lifeboat (still containing the dead pirates) with a Seahawk Helicopter, take it to the pirate base, and drop it through the roof.  

3)  One minute later about 20 GPS-guided bombs level this pirate base, all other pirate bases and all their ships, having been previously identified and targeted by satellite, aircraft reconnaissance and UAVs. 

4)  Hillary Clinton goes on TV, and in her best snarky tone says that they better not do that again.

5)  Joe Biden goes to a news conference and praises the people of Iowa for a great grain harvest last fall.

Yeah, it's a fantasy.  At least numbers 1-3.  For all I know, 4 and 5 have already happened.

Oh, and Happy Easter.  

EVENING UPDATE:  Didnt' exactly happen as I foresaw, but close.  And 3 of the Pirates are now fish food.  

CNN: Hostage captain rescued; Navy snipers kill 3 pirates

By the way, I wonder if they were Muslim Pirates....

Our Contemptable President

Obama is heading for Jimmah Carter territory with his most recent antics in Europe.  Can't say it better than Ace of Spades:  President Obama's Attack on the U.S.

"The President's new comments aren't the mere embarrassments we've all come to expect from him over the past three months. Yes, he's a bumbling buffoon when it comes to representing America. It's not really something to get angry over. Rather, we'll just have to suffer until he and his wife learn on the job how to comport themselves with a little dignity.

On the other hand, this latest speech was planned and plotted, a neon-lighted "Fuck You" directed right at us while he campaigns for European Suck-up of the Year. And that is something to get angry over, the quisling fucker. The Powerline Guys use words like "contemptible", "reprehensible", "slanderous." All true, but it doesn't go far enough. 

This guy is going to stand up Over There and badmouth Americans and President Bush? He's a coward with an inferiority complex, a desperate desire to win the approval of his perceived European betters. What an ass."

Yes, he's an ass.  A very dangerous ass. 

Cryin' Towels and Really Small Violins

As a public service, I offer a cryin' towel and a free play of the "really small violin" to those Democrats and Liberals who are now upset, and with some reason.  I've been upset since W turned the Republican party into a group of wild spenders.  I can empathize with your irritation, having seen you witness:

- the end of the no tax increase promise with today's increase on cigarettes

- no more fiscal sanity with the return of larger deficits than even the evil Republicans were able to create

- the abandonment of Michigan and all those union jobs after being promised you would be taken care of

- the war is still going on, and we're sending more troops to Afghanistan

- since the Mayor sold us out, Carolyn Kilpatrick won't cross the Rouge River to explain anything

- witnessing the hipocracy of those tax cheats being exposed when nominated for cabinet posts

- finally realizing that we can't spend our way out of this mess, we have to grow our way out

And that's probably the worst...having to admit that Reagan was right.  

Wah Wah Wah.
