Stimulus working?….for whom?

Well — as long as the termites and shrimp are happy. Not to mention the thousands of tattoos that were removed so those folks could get jobs…IF there were any jobs to be had.

Just a few of the programs that Congress, during the worst economic downturn in over 25 years, deems worthy of funding with taxpayer dollars:

$1.8 million to research “swine odor and manure management” in Ames, Iowa. $41.5 million to upgrade presidential libraries of Franklin D. Roosevelt, Lyndon B. Johnson, and John F. Kennedy, according to the Heritage Foundation. $2.9 million to study how to breed and raise shrimp on “shrimp farms.” Citizens Against Government Waste (CAGW) reports that since 1985 the federal government has allocated $71 million to the study of shrimp science. $209,000 to improve blueberry production in Georgia, according to CAGW. $200,000 for a tattoo removal program in Mission Hills, Calif., Riedl says. $5.8 million for the Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the Senate in Boston, according to the Heritage Foundation. $6.6 million for Formosan subterranean termites, also according to Heritage.In all, Riedl calculates that the omnibus bill contains 9,287 earmarks.Newsmax

Obama’s books banned– too Radical!

Obama lovers can relax–his books were only banned temporarily.  It’s too bad we didn’t see a news report about this before the election.  Some people may have considered their vote more carefully.

According to AP the decision was reversed in November (election, new president, new rules maybe?)

Obama’s Books Banned From US Prisons– TOO RADICAL
http://gatewaypundit.blogspot.com/2009/07/obamas-books-banned-from-us-prisons-too.html

But, he’s a moderate.
Thank You State-Run Media For Vetting This Radical Before the Election.

Barack Obama’s books were recently banned from the US government’s most secure prison.
The radical language in the books make them “potentially detrimental to national security.”
The AP reported:

The federal government’s most secure prison has determined that two books written by President Barack Obama contain material “potentially detrimental to national security” and rejected an inmate’s request to read them. http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_SUPERMAX_OBAMAS_BOOKS?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT

Of course the question is–if they were potentially detrimental to our national security in August and September–what made them OK in November?

The perversity in our nation today–more rights for prisoners and less freedoms for the US citizen makes rational people want to puke. The polarization of the nation is on Obama and his news media cheerleaders.

Napolitano doesn’t like conservatives…she proved that pretty quicky.  Her DHS report, the second release targeted conservatives…the first report had more to it including black militants, but it seems she didn’t want to “offend” anyone except conservatives. It was pulled back and revised to target only certain people of the right wing. (such as those who believe in the constitution)

Liberal group-think is toxic –people you once thought were rational beings “changed” almost overnight. That was the change Obama brought.

It’s too bad–liberal group think leads people to attack special needs babies while their news media allies deny it’s being done. (Sally Quinn)

What happened to rational thinking in the news media? It seems to be GONE from the liberal camp.  I used to call them despicable people….but it seems to be beyond that–it appears to be a mental compulsive disorder where they must attack a certain politician and her family—even the baby.  Attacking infants is SICK.  Yet liberals play it as if it was a grand contribution to society.

Liberal group think is toxic.

From Dreams of My Father

“It is this world, a world where cruise ships throw away more food in a day than most residents of Port-au-Prince see in a year, where white folks’ greed runs a world in need, apartheid in one hemisphere, apathy in another hemisphere… That’s the world! On which hope sits!”

You know liberals–I think he means you too– if you’re white, you’re greedy.

Saul Alinsky is smiling .

Based on the 1944 Norman Thomas Quote: “The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of “liberalism,” they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.”

He went on to say: “I no longer need to run as a Presidential Candidate for the Socialist Party. The Democratic Party has adopted our platform.” http://politicalabacus.blogspot.com/20.

Honduras speaks on media coverage

-honduras-lagringasblogicito

“I continue to receive messages from Honduran citizens upset at the international media for their distorted coverage of the situation in the Central American country. The people support the ouster of Manuel ‘Mel’ Zelaya, who is considered a puppet of Venezuelan Communist ruler Hugo Chavez. They are mystified that an American president would want to return this Chavez puppet to power in Honduras,” Kincaid continued. Ciff Kincaid, Accuracy in Media  AIM.org

US Communist Judith LeBlanc Tells Aussies About Obama’s Foreign Policy. See  NewZeal blog

Great quote about priorities…quote of the year.

No other words necessary….

Quote Of The Year “On a more serious front, I sincerely hope that when the president goes in for his annual check-up, the doctors at Bethesda will do a brain scan. Surely something must be terribly wrong with a man who seems to be far more concerned with a Jew building a house in Israel than with Muslims building a nuclear bomb in Iran.” –columnist Burt Prelutsky

Another round of pork on the spending menu?

Biden–of gaffemeister fame- says, ” “The truth is, we and everyone else misread the economy.”  Noooo that’s not quite true.  Economists warned us. I’m not sure when Obama’s friend Soros gained his billions from betting against the US economy–but he apparently knew more than most–and had no problem hedging his bets. I hope he let some of his friends in on the deal.

Putting pork on the table for people who helped Obama win the presidency was never going to jump-start the economy as many of us opined from the beginning. In fact, we saw and posted charts that showed the country would have fared better without a stimulus package.

-

“My sense is that there wasn’t any misreading of the economy, in fact the president and vice president had forecasted economic doom if we did not act quickly,” Cantor said. “What it is they misread was the stimulus bill and got the prescription wrong.”

IF our lawmakers do not have  “time” to read bills before voting on them–or if hundreds of pages are added after the House vote, we could accrue all sorts of nasty tidbits in the bills….like the RAT in the first pork laden bill or the $$$ given to have tattoos removed.

An irresponsible lot like the leaders pushing bills through without reading them tells the country a great deal…if people would stop drinking the kool-aid long enough to listen.

Money talks–and no doubt doodad is pulling out his credit card this very moment.

I guess Biden “misunderestimated the economy.”

Grub worms lose meal…Palin resigns

My opinion, but many mainstream Americans hold similar opinions–Anyone who attacks children, especially a one year old child is lower than a grub worm. In some circles, it’s considered “smart.”  It must be considered smart because many have taken that approach to the Palin children.

Palin is a hot ticket and draws interest even 8 months after the election, despite the attempted character assassination from the far left and attacks on the Palin children.  Mothers will surely understand what Sarah Palin has gone through with these guttersnipes attacking her children–but perhaps I should clarify.  “Human” mothers and fathers understand the pain of having their children attacked.

Though people are speculating on a presidential bid for Palin – I don’t think she will make that choice.  She is concerned about her family and the effect the indecent vicious lapdogs have on their well being. Again, human mothers can understand that concern.

It looks like the grub worms ate their meal–but don’t be too sure. Word is, she has many choices.

Palin, despite  liberal group-think is not dumb.  Alaska is in better shape now than when she took office and in much better shape than many of the lower 48 states.  She’s leaving the governors office better than she found it.  If that’s dumb, I’ll take it. (sure beats IOUs)

Grub worms will have to find someone else to feed on–but they’ve had so much practice, they’ll be fine.

They may not be able to find another baby or  14-year-old young girl to feed on, but they’re very talented, so who knows?

When the bill passes…your climate will change

What is the Cap and Trade Bill?  — really what is it?  If it passes, will you be able to afford heat and A/C ?

Unemployment, shaky US dollar, auto industry down….and Obama wants to increase taxes on those who provide services to you–the cost will be passed on to you!
