Genus Envy or How to Covet the “Hero” Class ala Paul Krugman of the New York Times

September 12, 2011 Leave a comment

It was just a few days ago that I noticed a bumper sticker on the rear-end of a Subaru:

THE MORE PEOPLE I MEET
THE MORE I LIKE MY DOG.

 

After reading that bumper sticker I was taken aback.  Now, after reading Paul Krugman’s New York Times Sept. 11th, 2011 opinion piece I would definitely buy a bumper sticker that read:

THE MORE PEOPLE LIKE PAUL KRUGMAN I MEET
THE MORE I LIKE MY DOG.

 

The Real Hero of 9-11.

I’m going to allow comments on this post, for obvious reasons.

Fifty Ways to Leave Your President (Obama version)

August 11, 2011 Leave a comment

The problem is all inside your head
She said to me
The answer is easy if you
Take it logically
I’d like to help you in your struggle
To be free
There must be fifty ways
To leave your President

She said it’s really not my habit
To intrude
Furthermore, I hope my meaning
Won’t be lost or misconstrued
But I’ll repeat myself
At the risk of being crude
There must be fifty ways
To leave your President
Fifty ways to leave your President

[CHORUS:]
You Just slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
You don’t need to be coy, Roy
Just get yourself free
Hop on the bus, Gus
You don’t need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee
And get yourself free

She said it grieves me so
To see you in such pain
I wish there was something I could do
To make you smile again
I said I appreciate that
And would you please explain
About the fifty ways

She said why don’t we both
Just sleep on it tonight
And I believe in the morning
You’ll begin to see the light
And then she kissed me
And I realized she probably was right
There must be fifty ways
To leave your President
Fifty ways to leave your President.

h/t to Paul Simon.

One Debt to Rule Them All

August 6, 2011 Leave a comment

The Hopey-Changey Barack-O-Meter hit a new low this past week.

American credit has been downgraded by Standard & Poors. This happened because of the economic and social policies of Barack Hussein Obama, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi. The Democrats forced a debt ceiling deal that was nowhere near good enough to prevent the downgrade. It was the *Tea Party members of Congress who demanded substantial cuts to make our country fiscally sound. Instead, our time was ‘murdered’ by the Mad Hatter and his tea party.

But that’s not all….

There are over fourteen million people out of work. The effective unemployment rate is 20% of the population – one in five Americans. Many people have given up looking for work. BO, community-organizer-in-chief, continues to offer absolutely nothing of substance to turn the economy around. He proffers class warfare – the African dictator way of handling things. His version of social justice is to ransack the rich and feed his political coffers (while lavishing himself with many golf outings and a birthday week  bash– very African dictator like.)

BO continues to push for more government regulation and this only tightens the noose around small businesses. They die off every day.

Obamacare is a plague on our nation. Many corporations will drop their health care coverage. Many large companies have opted out. Many doctors will leave the practice. The passed-on cost of this health care ‘reform’ will shut the doors of many of the nation’s small businesses, the very life-blood of our economy. The voodoo social and economic policies of BO have brought a pox on all of us.

2012: There will be people who will continue to vote for the downgrade of the US – people who read Noam Chomsky and Howard Zinn, who follow MoveOn.org, Jim Wallis and other progressive panaceans.  There are people who only listen to Hollywood movie stars lecturing the public about social policies, ‘lobal’ warming and revised US history. These people will vote with their left hand because they don’t want to know what the right hand is doing.

“Barack Obama’s political genius is his ability to say things that will sound good to people who have not followed the issues in any detail — regardless of how obviously fraudulent what he says may be to those who have. Shameless effrontery can be a huge political asset, especially if uninformed voters outnumber those who are informed.” Thomas Sowell, economist

In stead of Hope and Change, BO’s 2012 campaign slogan should be, Be in Hock with Barack!

*In an amazing bout of stupidity and rancor this past week VP Joe Biden called Tea Party members “Terrorists”.  Joe must have felt threatened.  The only way a Tea Party member could even be considered a terrorist is when they threaten the status quo of politicians like Joe Biden.

Help! I Need a President!

July 27, 2011 1 Comment

The self-induced lame duck presidency of BO is certainly going nowhere except down the campaign trial. Last Monday night Obama used a nationally televised speech to campaign for himself.

In his prime time campaign pitch professor Obama lectured the public about debt – as if we are stupid. He also pontificated about a having balanced approach (duh, consider that the national debt has tripled under his watch and he has brought us to this brink). He then went on to spread the manure of blame around to make it seem like he’s just a regular guy who’s above all this.

 During Monday night’s performance Obama went on to pit the rich against the poor, Democrat against Republican and his liberal agenda (he’s beholden to MoveOn.org and George Soros) against everyday common sense.  He continued his class warfare rhetoric and offered nothing of substance, nothing of value to the conversation.  He proposed no debt ceiling plan and he did nothing to encourage confidence in America. Instead, Obama just blathered on blaming others and posturing himself as the great arbiter of American values.

Obama is the most divisive and immature President that I can remember (I have been voting since ’69).  His presidency is worse than the malaise days of Jimmy Carter.  This presidency is a malignant cancerous growth on the hopes of all Americans. He incapacitates hope.

Sadly, O-bots in the mainstream media (MSNBC, Chris Matthews, Rachel Madcow, Media Matters, Think Progress, etc) will continue to promote The All-Wise One and his Trojan horse called Social Justice.  There will also be people who will continue to vote a Democratic ticket because that’s what they always do – they push the “Hopey Changey” button. 

The last time they did, dumb and dumber came out.

“Just when I think you couldn’t possibly be any dumber, you go and do something like this…and totally redeem yourself!”  Harry in Dumb and Dumber

“You drove almost a 6th of the way across the country in the wrong… DIRECTION!!! Now we don’t have enough money to get to Aspen! We don’t have enough money to get home! We don’t have enough money to eat! We don’t have enough money… TO SLEEP!!”  Harry to Obama, from Dumb and Dumber: Harry (Reid) Meets Barry (Obama)

For Harry (Reid) and Obama every day is a no-brainer. (movie tagline)

2012: I’m Shovel Ready

July 9, 2011 Leave a comment

2012:  Do you really want four more years of:

  • Blaming Bush for the enormous national debt incurred under Obama’s watch?
  •  Blaming corporate jet owners for having money? (The jets are primarily used to make sales that create & maintain jobs. BTW: Nancy Pelosi uses a government (the largest corp.)- jet.)
  •  Straw man arguments leading to more blaming of others and deflection of responsibility?
  •  
  • Obama’s wars?
  •  
  • Blaming the failure of bad economic policies on under funding (not enough tax money coming in)?
  •  
  • 9.2 % unemployment, recession and inflation?
  •  
  • Condescension, obstinacy & shaming?
  •  
  • A destructive learning curve for a Chicago politician with no life experience other than the circle jerking of community organizing?
  •  
  • Class warfare & the segregation of people into economic & social classes, turning America backwards in time?
  •  
  • Inciting racism and hate speech among blacks and the liberal media?
  •  
  • Being told that social justice favors the poor and takes advantage of the rich?
  •  
  • Incompetence at every turn? (Did it really take much thought to pull the trigger on UBL?)
  •  
  • Utter & blatant narcissism?
  •  
  • No business acumen whatsoever?
  •  
  • A president who blindly sides with militant Palestinians against Israel?
  •  
  • A president who apologizes for the US every chance he gets (to win approval)?
  •  
  • A First Lady who says living in the White House is hell.
  •  
  • Knowing that your future earnings will be given to the government and that you get only pennies on the dollar in return?
  •  
  • The theocracy of Socialism? Of the greed of preference?
  •  
  • A “fair share” democracy which is defined by a small elite intellectual class and not by Justice?
  •  
  • Putting Americans on the Road to Serfdom subject to the whims of an elite intellectual class? Of making Americans useful idiots?
  •  
  • Obama’s political favoritism towards GE, labor unions and himself? Of never putting America first?
  •  
  • A president who claims he is a Christian but uses Christ’s name only as a means to get his campaign in the door of churches and onto the screeds written by social justice’s “useful idiots”?
  •  
  • Czars not sanctioned by Congress but paid for with your tax dollars (these people have jobs): Afghanistan Czar; AIDS Czar; Border Czar; California Water Czar; Car Czar; Central Region Czar; Climate Czar; Cyber Czar; Domestic Violence Czar; Drug Czar; Economic Czar; Energy and Environment Czar; Faith-Based Czar; Government Performance Czar; Great Lakes Czar; Green Jobs Czar; Guantanamo Closure Czar; Health Czar; Information Czar; Intelligence Czar; Mideast Peace Czar; Pay Czar; Regulatory Czar; Science Czar; Stimulus Accountability Czar; Sudan Czar; TARP Czar; Technology Czar; Terrorism Czar; Urban Affairs Czar; Weapons Czar; WMD Policy Czar
  •   
  • Sloganeering:  Change, Hope, Yes We Can…of spin?
  •  
  • A dumb-ing down of America for equal outcomes?
  •  
  • The loss of property?
  •  
  • The inability to use God-given natural resources?
  •  
  • The devaluation of your citizenship by this administration’s blind eye to illegal immigration (to gain political advantage)
  •  
  • The list goes on…but America may not, if Obama is re-elected.

Get Without the Program

June 30, 2011 Leave a comment

I think a lot of people, especially college kids, recent grads and sixties leftovers voted for Obama in 2008 hoping to download the Cradle to Grave Entitlement App – Push the button, download the App and government does it all:  health care, social security, cheap student loans, amnesty for all, social justice, diversity…: “

A Recent Review: 

“This App is fantastic.  We won’t have to think or make choices. We will just be, creating our Good Ideas to save the planet, making things fair and equal. We can do this by spending the currency of veteran’s blood, blood shed giving us freedom we couldn’t handle anyway – its way too scary and  too complex. Instead, we will choose not to choose.  We’ve got to get ourselves back to the garden. We will then be able to enjoy the safety of our peeps (i.e., the herd)around the campfire.”

 Review #2: 

“With Obama and this Cradle to Grave Mobile App we can return to egalitarian Egypt where everything will be provided for us.  Our lives will be neatly ordered for us. In Egypt we will all be equal and treated the same. No one will be exceptional. No one will stand out. It will finally be fair.”

Review #3: 

“Here’s an APP that will satisfy my parents.  They always want me to go to church.  With this APP  I can be religious just by texting donations to Real Celebrity causes, ASPCA, Al Gore, Planned Parenthood and even George Soros’ Media Matters to fight the evil Fox News.”

Cradle to Grave App cost: Your liberty, your freedom, your income, your choices,  your self.
Availability: Download available November 2012. Text  *OBAMA APP YES WE CAN MASSAH or call 1-800-FOR-1984

History as Cynicism

June 28, 2011 Leave a comment

Imagine a popular American history book that never mentions Christianity or conservatism. Pull the lever and out comes the pellet –  Howard Zinn’s  A People’s History of the United States, 1492-Present.

Here is a passage from Michael Kazin’s article in Dissent Magazine, talking about this cynically myopic book:

“(Howard Zinn’s) failure is grounded in a premise better suited to a conspiracy-monger’s Web site than to a work of scholarship. According to Zinn, “99 percent” of Americans share a “commonality” that is profoundly at odds with the interests of their rulers. And knowledge of that awesome fact is “exactly what the governments of the United States, and the wealthy elite allied to them-from the Founding Fathers to now-have tried their best to prevent.”

History for Zinn is thus a painful narrative about ordinary folks who keep struggling to achieve equality, democracy, and a tolerant society, yet somehow are always defeated by a tiny band of rulers whose wiles match their greed. He describes the American Revolution as a clever device to defeat “potential rebellions and create a consensus of popular support for the rule of a new, privileged leadership.” His Civil War was another elaborate confidence game. Soldiers who fought to preserve the Union got duped by “an aura of moral crusade” against slavery that “worked effectively to dim class resentments against the rich and powerful, and turn much of the anger against ‘the enemy.'”

Nothing of consequence, in his view, changed during the industrial era, notwithstanding the growth of cities, railroads, and mass communications. Zinn views the tens of millions of Europeans and Asians who crossed oceans at the turn of the past century as little more than a mass of surplus labor. He details their miserable jobs in factories and mines and their desperate, often violent strikes at the end of the nineteenth century-most of which failed. The doleful narrative makes one wonder why anyone but the wealthy came to the United States at all and, after working for a spell, why anyone wished to stay.”

The Obama Nation Rap by Rapper CommonWeal

May 15, 2011 Leave a comment

Chaos is spelled O-B-A-M-A-nation,
This man markets himself as our only salvation,
Yet, our Divine Demagogue with deficits galore
Messes with our future and pimps us as whores.

Obama the Inflater sends prices sky- rocketing
While Obama the insurance man, your money he’s pocketing
“We can win the future if buy you my party’s ticket
You will have peace of mind, the future can go stick it.”

Jennings and Ayers, Jeremiah Wright and Van Jones,
You wouldn’t let these kind of people into your homes.
Yet, the leader of the Chaos Cartel let’s ’em come ’round,
He will even let George Soros buy the next round.

Illegal immigrants and narco-terrorists daily cross the line
While Obama the Teleprompter plays Joker just fine:
“Moats and alligators, what else do these Americans need?”
“Chaos and insecurity, total dependence is my creed.”

Two-Faced Obama speaks from both sides of a lie
He wants us to think progressivism hasn’t died:
“Shame on corporations for making so much.”
“Now, come on GE, let’s go have some tax-free lunch.”

Nine percent unemployment means that millions have been sacked
Yet Our Most Benevolent Obama is hoping to be backed
So campaigning is the first priority of this President:
“Let them eat cake and food stamps if they’re a resident.”

Obama, Slick-Attorney, appointed AG Holder-over
A man obsessed with racism from Panther to Panther.
The Constitution is living and also dead in my time.
The Federal courts can’t even rule mandatory health care is a crime.

Michelle, the Obamaness, brought ‘art’ to our nation’s crib,
A rapper named Common his filthy message glib:
“Don’t trust the Man, be chaos if you can.”
“BTW: Poetry is a piece that you hold in your hand.”

Obama and chaos are one and the same,
Obama and uncertainty look for someone to blame
But the mirror of Truth doesn’t hold a narcissist’s gaze,
It only sheds light on the instant gratification craze.

Obama, Chaos,
Obama, the Neil Patrick Harris of poli-schtick,
Obama, Chaos,
Obama, the Blamer,
Obama, Chaos,
Obama, racism,
Obama, Chaos,
Obama, division,
Obama, chaos,
Obama, class warfare,
Obama, Chaos,
Obama, the Mocker,
Obama, Chaos,
Obama, the Insipid,
Obama, Chaos,
Obama, the Intransigent,
Obama, Chaos,
Obama, Hubris,
Obama, Chaos…

(music fades, the economy fails and the American spirit dies on the vine.)

This is my art.
