Congress Is A Lemon; And I Want My Money Back!
Contributed by Ron Winter Thanks to Meat Loaf for the core of the headline above. You'll have to buy his CD Bat Out of Hell II: Back Into Hell, to hear the rest of the song. So, we are about to see the US Congress agree on some form of a bailout plan for the Wall Street mess. That's the mess that was conceived, originated and created by none other than Congress in 1999, and signed into law by Bill Clinton the same year. In the interests of "transparency" - not to mention truth - the Democrats and other crooks who have no explanation for their treachery against the American people need to develop an honest statement for the public. Their "failed George Bush policy" mantra has worn incredibly thin, is only believed by simpletons, and probably should be revised to something like "a decade of reaction to failed Bill Clinton policies!" Oh, right, we're talking Congressional Democrats. No chance of truth in lending there. Obviously the average American taxpayer has little to no input on how this all plays out, but if I was a member of Connecticut's Congressional delegation, including Sen. Christopher Dodd who was as much a factor in causing this imbroglio as anyone, I would heed what follows very carefully. If the federal government takes over all this "bad debt" that it caused by removing the firewalls between lending institutions, insurance companies, etc., and by opening up the mortgage market to people who couldn't afford mortgages, there is a very real possibility that in the long run the US Treasury will profit. A profit is possible, unlikely as that seems at the moment, because behind the bad paper everyone is talking about there exists real, three-dimensional property - houses that may not be worth as much today as they were the day they were purchased, but will be again in the not-too-distant future. When the market stabilizes and then reverses itself the affected properties will once again regain, then exceed their original sale values. It's a law. It has to happen; the only question will be how long will this take. This happened before back in the FDR administration and the government recovered very nicely, simply by sitting on the absorbed properties until they regained their value, and then unloading them at a profit. I strongly suspect this will happen again. Connecticut Congressman Chris Shays, the last Republican Congressman in New England, says he wants protection for taxpayers should the government turn a profit in a year or two. I want to take that one step further. If the US government makes so much as a dime off of this fiasco, I WANT MY MONEY BACK!! What exactly do I mean by that? This. I want oversight of every dime of taxpayer money that is spent, and every dime of income that results from this "bailout" in any form. I don't want no stinking earmarks, no fast and loose amendments banning drilling for shale oil, no massive influx of tax dollars to NOBama's favorite slush fund - ACORN, or anything of that nature. No golden parachutes or contractually approved severance packages for shit-for-brains corporate executives either. Nada! Nothing! If we take over, not the Congress, but WE the PEOPLE, all bets are off with the creators of this mess. Don't like it? Get the hell out of Dodge! We bail you out, we own you ... and your families too. When the profits start rolling in, to the tune of more than a trillion dollars according to some estimates, I want checks made out to the American taxpayers - not rebates that get taxed as income the next year, either. I want a check paying me back for bailing out a bunch of slime-ball, pond scum Wall Street market manipulators and their corrupt Congressional stooges. I want these checks to be dollar for dollar, dime for dime what the taxpayers put in, plus interest, with nothing, not a single red cent, deducted for administrative expenses. No diversions. None. Do this, and you, meaning Congressional stooges and slime ball, pond scum Wall Street market manipulators, may escape the pitchforks and torches. Maybe. I can't make any guarantees on that. America is pissed! And they are pissed at you Senators, Congresspeople and slime ball, pond scum Wall Street market manipulators. YOU! Do it not, and you will definitely feel the fires of revolution burning your asses. You'll be dragged out of the Capitol, or your hideaways in the country, tarred, feathered and ridden out of town on rail. That is exactly what you deserve now, and I guarantee you it is exactly what you'll get if you try to turn this assault on the American economy into a money-making venture for yourselves and your corrupt, dishonest, classless, money-grubbing cohorts. This is not a threat by the way. It is, however, an uncannily accurate prediction of future events. |

Get back to the fundamentals…
Contributed by J D J. D. Pendry
I took a short break from politics. It wasn’t a planned break, at least not my plan, but it did clear my mind some. I needed the break to mentally cut through the spin. I watched football in lieu of the first debate. I do not need a debate to help me decide. I pondered how it is that you and I will once again have to save, with our hard earned income, the careers of incompetent politicians. The collection of pandering boobs who are solely responsible for the economic and energy problems our country faces. If things work out, you and I will not receive credit for our contributions, nor will we see any return on yet another bad investment – in politicians and policy. We have strayed far from some of the fundamentals on which our country was built. Read the rest here. |

Campaign’s Over?
Contributed by Russ Vaughn Did anyone else happen to find it strange that Bill Clinton twice Tuesday night in his interview with Greta Van Susteren made reference to the campaign being over?
Was that an incautious mental slip indicating that in the Clintons’ minds this campaign is indeed over, or was Bill signaling the Obama folks that if they want the Clintons’ support they better think about dumping Jivin’ Joe? Certainly does have to make one wonder just how concerned the Clintons are about getting Obama elected. |

Visconti Calls for RICO Prosecutions in Illegal Aliens' Sanctuary Cities Contributed by Ron Winter With all the talk of the moment being about the economy you might think that some sharp-eyed journalist would have jumped on the opportunity to report on New Haven, Connecticut, one of the original Sanctuary Cities for illegal aliens, laying off 35 workers last week to cut costs. New Haven, according to Mayor and unsuccessful gubernatorial candidate John DeStefano's reckoning, has between 12,000 and 20,000 illegal aliens living there worry free. According to the Community Watchdog Project which is challenging the Sanctuary City designation through legal channels, New Haven has spent more than $71,000,000 since December 2006 providing schooling and social services to the illegal alien population. That is driving the home of Yale University right into a bottomless well of red ink. The mayor, being a good socialist and all, has decided it is better to turn the city into a giant slum rather than admit he was wrong. He would rather fire hard-working American citizens than stop giving away the taxpayers' hard-earned dollars to people who don't don't pay taxes, are criminals by their very definition, and amount to one giant drain on the economy. Want to see where the economy is headed? Look at New Haven, Connecticut, Sanctuary City, soon to be renamed South Bronx (east). On Saturday, the Mayor and a handful - no kidding, less than 10 - of leftover 60s era hippies whose brains are so burned out on hallucinogenics that they don't know they are burn outs, "celebrated" the demise of their city. Meanwhile, another much larger group organized by the Community Watchdog Project demonstrated on the steps of City Hall, calling for an end to the insanity. (The media didn't do much coverage of the Community Watchdog Project's rally, but that is not a surprise.) Participating in the Community Watchdog rally was Congressional candidate Joseph Visconti, a West Hartford city councilman, who called for an investigation and indictment of DeStefano under the federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO). This is huge. This is a definitive attempt to use the laws of the land to protect our country from an internal attack by a criminal enterprise - local and federal officials who are actively supporting illegal immigration, and thus gutting our economy from within. It's bad enough that we have Wall Street financial markets falling apart thanks to ex-president Bill Clinton signing a law that removed Great Depression era safeguards that were supposed to protect us from just such a meltdown. It's bad enough that American taxpayers will now be on the hook to bail out a bunch of elitist greed hucksters who will walk away clean while we pay for their excesses. On top of that we have an assault on the core of our economy by elected officials who are sworn to protect and serve, not assault and plunder. New Haven is not in the district where Visconti is a candidate, but he has a vested interest in what happens in New Haven because the Mayor of Hartford, where Visconti was born and raised, and which is in his district, has just designated Hartford as a Sanctuary City too. Visconti also is a general contractor specializing in commercial construction and renovation, and as he said in his speech on the steps of New Haven City Hall - "I see it every day - skilled construction workers seeking jobs while illegal construction crews are brought in to perform carpentry, framing, roofing, drywall, painting and many other good paying jobs. Visconti said after the New Haven rally that this is just the first step in his quest to have the feds indict Sanctuary City mayors under the racketeering statutes. He is currently researching the activities taking place in Connecticut's Capitol City to determine if there is a possibility for a RICO investigation there too. Visconti is holding a fund-raiser at the Bushnell in Hartford on Saturday night, September 27, and will be making an announcement there about the next step in his quest. It is unusual to say the least to see a politician stand up and say what needs to be said, and demand action where inaction has been the norm. But Visconti has a history of standing up for what is right and speaking the truth even when some members his own party would rather hear something different. Visconti is running against John Larson who crows on his website that he is the #5 Democrat in Congress. Larson is a solid ally of Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi who is arguably the least effective speaker in the history of that body. Larson, known in political circles as Pelosi's Poodle, stood by silently when he accompanied her to Iraq earlier this year and she insulted our troops by saying they didn't win the war there, "Iran let them." Larson also is representing, for the moment, Hartford, a city that is awash with violence this year, part of a regular cycle of violence that comes from arresting criminals, giving them slap-on-the wrist sentences, then letting them loose on the community again. Larson's answer is to fund a bureaucratic study of why people become criminals rather than dealing with them head on when they invade people's homes or turn the streets into shooting galleries. As far as illegal immigration is concerned, Larson apparently doesn't think it really matters much, since his websites don't address it. What was that comment attributed to Louis XV - that's the fifteenth for Democrats - about conditions in France when he was king? "Apres moi, le deluge." After me, come the floods. Visconti is on to something here, and judging by the reaction at the rally and from national groups who heard about his call for RICO prosecutions, the public is on his side. You wouldn't have seen it in the Connecticut media that covered Saturday's rally, they only showed the aging hippies and weirdos. But the public will find out what happened in New Haven anyway. Most aware people already know that the mainstream media is in the tank for the leftists, so they rely on the Internet for real information. As far as Louis the Fifteenth's comment, if I was Larson, I'd invest in a raincoat and an umbrella - maybe an Ark too. |

Oh-Ba-Ma, Su-per-star; Do You Think You're Who They Say You Are?
Contributed by Ron Winter So, according to the American Terrorist Media, Barack Obama is a latter day incarnation of Jesus Christ, because in Obama's view of the world Christ was a "community organizer." According to the same 'reasoning,' Republican Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin is a modern Pontius Pilate because, according to the Obama camp, Pilate was a governor, just like Palin! (Except Pilate wasn't actually a governor. He was a procurator, which was an agent of the Roman Emperor and carried out the Emperor's directives. Palin, as governor, actually has far more independent responsibility than Pilate did. In other words, she has more executive experience.) So already we find that what we get from the Obama campaign and Obama supporters, many of whom eschew religion, is at best uninformed. While I haven't seen anything about this in the mainstream media, well actually I haven't seen anything in the mainstream media, I bet a bunch of The Big O's supporters are atheists. I realize he calls himself a Christian and all, but I have watched the videos of his former pastor, His Eminence the Rev. Jeremiah Wright. I refer you in particular to the part where he says "God Damn America" is in the Bible. I long ago concluded that if this is what Obama calls religion I can't wait until we see his version of "government." But let's not belabor that point. Let's ask ourselves instead, does Barack Obama think he is Jesus Christ? I didn't hear him tell his campaign staffers to knock off the Christ comparisons. I didn't hear anyone denounce this Christ comparison - ridiculous, condescending, arrogant and sacrilegious as it is. So I guess he really does consider himself to be the second coming - or the first if you don't believe Jesus was the Messiah. But let's think about this for a minute. What was the most notable facet of Christ's personality? Aside from miracle working I mean, and the occasional community organization? Humility, right? So, does Obama meet the humility standard? Again, let's take a look. Last week Obama's camp released a commercial attacking his opponent, John McCain, for supposedly being out of touch. To prove his point, our alleged saviour's commercial said that John McCain doesn't use a computer and doesn't even send out emails, and mocked McCain for being out of touch with modern technology - in other words, old. The commercial was immediately pounced on by the McCain campaign, because the real reason John McCain doesn't send out emails is because he can't use a computer keyboard due to injuries to his hands and arms suffered when he was tortured during more than five years as a POW in North Vietnam. Now, a truly humble person would have been mortified about making that kind of blunder. I mean, the commercial probably was done in good faith, from a political standpoint. I seriously doubt Obama knew ahead of time that McCain has some permanent physical disabilities from being tortured that prevent him from typing. Sure, he could have found out before he ran that commercial though. The extent of McCain's injuries and the limitations on some of his daily activities have been well reported over the years. But even if Obama's research staff is just incompetent as opposed to mean-spirited, vicious, abrasive, and insensitive, it still falls on the candidate himself to rectify the damage done by the ill-advised commercial. Obama could have and should have immediately taken responsibility, since he does after all want to be commander-in-chief where he will be at the top of the chain of command. Obama could have and should have called McCain immediately, apologized on behalf of himself and his campaign stooges who produced that commercial, told McCain he was mortified over it, and then sent out a news release saying essentially the same thing. But did he? Well, no, he didn't. Instead he sent more stooges out to do the television talk show circuit and when asked about such a grievous blunder, the response was what I heard on Fox News Monday morning. An Obama staffer refused to answer when asked by America's Newsroom anchor Bill Hemmer if the Obama camp knew ahead of time that McCain doesn't use a computer due to wartime injuries. Hemmer really worked hard to get at the truth, repeatedly bringing the interview back to the basic question - Did the Obama campaign know ahead of time that McCain has permanent injuries that prevent him from using a keyboard? But try as he might, he may as well have been talking to a wall, because the Obama staffer acted as though he didn't hear a word Hemmer asked him. Instead the Obama mouthpiece kept talking over Hemmer's questions, repeating that "McCain is out of touch, McCain is out of touch, McCain is out of touch." Well, Mr. Genius, we got that concept when you turned out that insulting piece of amateur-night claptrap and called it a campaign commercial. Once again, Obama did nothing, said nothing, neither apologized nor took responsibility for what is said in his name. That is "in Obama's name," not the more familiar refrain "in Jesus' name." I should point out here, that McCain is considered one of the most technologically astute national politicians in America. Hopefully, if he is elected, McCain can raise the profile of advanced computer technology that will enable him to use voice activation instead of typing to communicate with his supporters. So I guess we have to conclude based on that example, which certainly appears to be representative of Obama's entire campaign, especially after the way he treated Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin, that Obama may actually think he is the Son of God. But in truth there is little resemblance as this little test of humility reveals. Obama is not a human incarnation of the humble Son of God who came to earth to serve humanity. Rather, Obama more and more appears to be going out of his way to appear as an arrogant, self-absorbed street punk turned elitist who wants to be President of the United States. Not much to compare there now, is there? I sure can't wait until this guy is representing us among the heads of state in Europe. I bet he'll be a real hit on the Embassy cocktail circuit. |

Ominous Obanomics
Contributed by Russ Vaughn He’s already told us he’s going to raise our taxes, but Barack Obama tries to make that a more palatable pill by reassuring us that he’s only going to raise taxes on the rich. To a working stiff like I’ve been all my life that is supposed be appealing: yeah, stick it to all those rich ba**ards and let them feel the pain for a while. Sounds good, hmmm? Except that my life experiences have taught me that the rich ba**ards have long ago devised diverse ways of passing that pain on to others. And if tax extractors like Obama should prove to be so relentless in exerting pain on the powerful that it cannot all be passed along, guess what, Bubba? Those rich ba**ards are going to close down operations, eliminate your job and move somewhere to a more amiable business climate. Two Wall Street Journal pieces today prove out this obvious truth. The first, discussing the huge state budget deficits in California and New York, makes this observation: “If taxes don't matter, then maybe someone can explain the divergent economic paths of California and New York and America's two other most populous states, Florida and Texas. The latter two states have no personal income tax. Personal income has been growing about 50% faster in Florida and Texas than in California and New York. (See chart.) This year Texas became the No. 1 state for Fortune 500 corporate headquarters. About a dozen of those 58 corporations once called New York or California home, and taxes are one reason they departed.” The second article, aptly entitled, “If You Like Michigan’s Economy, You’ll love Obama’s,” substantiates the findings in the first and shows that right to work states, like Texas, Florida and Arizona, where state government has not been corrupted by the undue influence of powerful unions, have vigorous population growth and vibrant economies. Their northern counterparts like Michigan, Illinois (anyone from there come to mind?) and Ohio are in much worse shape, some of which could possibly be explained by such union created foolishness as auto workers being paid $65,000 per year, with excellent benefits for doing nothing as described in this Detroit News article of a few years back. That’s right, Bubba, zilch, nada, not one damned thing but showing up. Think that might account for those northern states losing 83,000 jobs in the auto industry while 91,000 jobs in that same industry were created in Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia and Texas, all states where unions and high-taxing liberals haven’t subverted the government process? Oh, and Red States, by the way. Both articles should be required reading for all Americans still unsure as to whom they want for president for the next four years for one very simple but profound reason: the jobs and the companies in these articles were able to relocate to other states where the business atmosphere is more realistic and reasonable. If an Obama administration should extend the economic policies that have failed liberal dominated Blue States to the entire country, just where do you suppose all those job creating rich ba**ards will head next? Can you spell offshore, Bubba? |

Email from Wasilla
Contributed by J D J. D. Pendry I just got this email from friends of mine. It was sent to them from someone who lives in Wasilla, Alaska and knows Sarah Palin…. It started with one glowing email, which was rather short and Sarah Palin admiring in its content. Then they began to morph into lengthy dissertations complete with statistics and all of the scary reasons why Governor Palin should not be a “heartbeat away” from the Presidency. With Nan Pelosi sitting two heartbeats away, I do not know why anyone would think that tired expression is frightening to me. These emails are now arriving in my mailbox with somber notices at the beginning, “I just received this from some friends who received it from this lady who lives in Wasilla and knows Governor Palin. Read it and make your own judgment.” And I do, I hit the delete button and send that puppy straight to cyber heaven or possibly it heads in a more southerly cyber direction. I cannot believe what I read in the media most of the time so I reckon I will pass on the content of unsolicited emails from sources I do not know (the mainstream media quotes these as unnamed sources) that likely originated in the same Chicago basement as the banned book email hoax did. To quote Barack Hopenchange Obama, “Enough! Enough!” |

But Can He Find Iran on a Map? (Bumped)
Contributed by Russ Vaughn [Bupded by the webmaster. Originally posted 2008.06.26] In a CQ Politics column, David Korn snidely asks, “Can a Guy (McCain) Who Doesn’t Know How To Use a Computer Become President?” Reading the column my first thought was, “Can A Harvard Educated Lawyer Who Doesn’t Know Elementary School Level Geography Become President?” My second was, “Can A Harvard Educated Lawyer Who Doesn’t Know How Many States Are In The Country He Wants To Govern Become President?” Considering their candidate’s demonstrated disregard for the finer points of geography and history, the Democrats and their media minions might want to think twice before poking fun at McCain for lack of knowledge. Personally I find it far less disturbing that McCain, in his seventies, has little knowledge of computers than the fact that a supposed young genius in his forties is so evidently ignorant of basic geography. I will wager that a lot of other senior voters share my feeling that a president can perform his duties quite well without computer skills. It’s like asking, “But can he type?” Of more concern to folks like us is, “But can he find Iran on a map?” My personal experience with the Internet has taught me that this medium, especially on the liberal side, is heavily populated with technical whizzes who are long on computer skills but very short on judgment. Shallow, in other words. And guess who their candidate is… |

He's Never Gonna Forget It!
Contributed by Russ Vaughn Shortly after losing the presidential election in 2008, Barack Obama, strained by the demands of his long campaign, has a heart attack and wakes up in that section of Hell reserved for politicians and celebrity types. The Devil nods agreement, takes a tube of lipstick from his pocket and hands it to Barack as he barks, “OK, Lewinsky, you’re outta here!” |

Matt Who?
Contributed by Russ Vaughn Hey Matt Damon, congratulations, genius, you just made my do-not-watch list with your dumb denunciation of Sarah Palin. It's taken you a little longer than most of your dim-bulb colleagues, but let me tell you, Matty, you are there now, Bubba, you have arrived, and guess what boy? It's a lifetime achievement; once there Matty, you are on that list forever. Even crawling into the Vice-President's residence and giving Sarah a sole-licking pedicure couldn't get your smug Hollywood butt off my list, ever. You got that, Matt? See, Matt, I'm pretty lenient with you Hollywood dips and tend to give you a lot of leeway because I understand that you're really not a bunch of Will Huntings. Nope, you're just a pack of photogenic dopes who can stand in front of a camera and recite memorized lines. Yeah, yeah, Matt, I've heard all about your vaunted Ivy League academic achievements and I think they are just more Hollywood hype dreamed up by some little weasel who's taking a bigger percentage of your income than a truly smart man would willingly pay? Something I just can't figure, Matt, about you and the industry you are part of. I spent my whole life in marketing and I just can't get my business brain around an entire industry that insists on pissing off more than half its potential customer base as a matter of routine. You Hollywood flakes base all your success on box office sales, yet you consistently come into my home via my TV set, my computer and newspapers and personally insult my intelligence by snidely telling me I'm some sort of political Neanderthal because I don't want to vote for your communist candidates. And in the process, you are relentlessly driving me, and the millions like me, away from local theaters, putting yourself on my never go see again and never order list from Netflix. Really great deep thinking there, Ivy League Genius. Your career success depends on box office receipts, especially from the opening weekend, but you take it upon yourself to spit in my face about my political beliefs and guarantee that no one from my family ever will be sitting in the seats watching your latest insipid performance on opening weekend. Yeah, boy, that is marketing genius, Matt. Just by keeping your mouth shut you could double your box office but no, you just insist on insulting me and mine. Brilliant! Just freakin' brilliant, you Ivy League genius! Wonder why your industry is going down the tubes just slightly less precipitously than the New York Times, Matt? Perhaps it's because you, the entertainment industry, are mildly amusing and still hold some appeal for children. But little Pinch and his dying Grey Lady aren't read by too many children, Matt. Hell, they're not read by all that many adults anymore. Hey Matty boy, you're a big union supporter aren't you, like all Hollywood limousine liberals? So, do you have any harsh words for little Penny-Pinch putting over 400 union workers on the street this week? Nah, I didn't think so, because you need one of Pinch's snotty little tight-pants reviewers to make your latest piece of America-bashing trash sound good to the gullible, don't you? Keep it up, Matt, you and all the ostriches in Hollywood, the newspaper industry and the network broadcasting industry. You fools just keep right on alienating more than half your potential market and we'll see where you end up. You and others like you are so out of touch with the America that made you that your cavalier dismissal of the beliefs and feelings of that very same America will someday see you as nothing more than Matt who? Wanna guess how long it's been since I bought a theater ticket, Genius? And if it weren't for John Wayne, Robert Mitchum, James Stewart and their like, I'd cancel Netflix too. It's true I am about to break my long-standing boycott of Hollywood trash as I intend to go see An American Carol as soon as it's available. So, what do you think about that, Matt who? *** See also [BF]: Matt Damon, Genius. The Website that Created The "Sarah Palin Quotes" Even Identified Them as Parodies That Had Been Made Up |
