Talking Heads.

I was flipping through the channels the other night and just happened upon The Bill Maher Show and caught about five minutes. That was enough, believe me. One of his talking heads he had on was trying to explain the virtues of ObamaCare and how it's framed to work. I'm paraphrasing here but in essence he said that the only way ObamaCare can work is if the young healthy people buy into a risk pool that subsidizes the unhealthy people. But then he stated something that made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. He stated "We all must bear the cost, we're all in this together, we need to be responsible."

You gonna finish that? 

Can someone tell me how I'm responsible for some diabetic, hypertensive, asthmatic/COPD oxygen dependant smoker, alcoholic, 350lb couch potato that CHOOSES to have a diet of coffee brandy, Pepsi, junk food and 'medicinal' marijuana and refuses to heed the warnings from his or her doctor? On that note, why should some twenty something that is just starting out in the work force be responsible for my poor choices? The argument brought to my attention by a family member was that now people that couldn't get insurance can now get it. Some of these people don't deserve it! I can see the need to take care of the less fortunate that need our help. People, through no fault of their own, who have been born or stricken with illness or infirmity that they need help with. The problem with this talking head's argument is that the people that need the most don't believe they have any responsibility for their own situation. They will continue their unhealthy lifestyle with the full expectation that someone else will take care of them and in our current societal direction they're right!

Want me to tell you what comes next fatty? (*disclaimer: I'm fat so I can call them fat.) What comes next is the government no longer putting warning on things they deem bad for you, but outlawing them all together 'for the common good'. This utopian paradise all the liberals have dreamed up for you isn't utopia and sure ain't paradise. The only way for it to work for them is control. They have to completely control all the variables. We need to ask ourselves if that is truly the world we want to create for our children. A world where they are 'taken care of' from cradle to grave. That's their idea not mine. It's actually pretty friggin' scary, but most liberals just plug their ears and close their eyes and do the "NANANANNANA" noise that you'd normally see on the playground. These idiots never left the playground.

I don't take issue with taking care of people that truly need taking care of, but when you start handing out stuff people that don't need it sneak into the line. It's the natural thing to do for all creatures big and small. If you put out seed for the birds eventually you'll have squirrels, rabbits, crows, turkeys and other woodland creatures. If you start handing out free food to humans the needy show up first followed by the greedy and pretty soon it's become a free for all and even the people with pride get in on the action because it all of a sudden becomes the norm. That's their game, make it socially acceptable across the board. If it is socially acceptable by all then it's questioned by none. Don't get me going on political correct speech. That's another topic for another blog! They accuse us of ignorance but rely on ignorance to promote their agenda.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, why is it that the Left's champions started out and further their careers in comedy? Bill Maher, John Stewart, Joy Behar, Al Franken and the list goes on and on. I'll tell you why, my father told me that you could say anything to anyone and as long as you had a smile on your face you'd get away with it. These folks can hide behind comedy when they stick their foot in their mouth. "Just kidding people, nothing to see here, move along." Even when they're serious they can ride it out as comedy.

That's my two cent's spend 'em or put 'em in the dish for the next person.

"We're not some Banana Republic"

"We're not some banana republic. This isn't some deadbeat nation," said Obama addressing Missouri auto workers. "We don't run out on our tab. Were the world's bedrock investment. The entire world looks to us to make sure the world economy is stable. We can't just not pay our bills. And even threatening something like that is the height of irresponsibility".

Who in the hell is he think is doing the threatening?? By all my accounts it looks like his lap-dog Harry Reid is the one that stands between government funding and default. Congress has passed a bill that funds ALL of government. The only thing left out is ObamaCare. Are you really that scared that your landmark legislation can't stand on it's own merits Mr. President? Is it because you watch the polls and realize that this huge pile of steaming manure you and your lackeys cobbled together could never stand on its own? I think that he'd answer a resounding yes to those questions (actually, I'm sure he'd have some convoluted explanation that neither confirms or denies). Even if Harry Reid let it come to a vote and it was pushed through to the President, who then would be the obstructionist? This is your mess Mr. President, you can't blame Bush for this one. Obama has created more partisanship in Washington than any other political faction in the recorded history of America.

By current count, Barack Hussein Obama, has made not one, not two, but NINETEEN CHANGES to the ACA, better known as ObamaCare. Changes that not only delay functional parts of the law, but also play favorites in his arena of support. I cry foul. If key parts of the bill aren't good enough for your buddies, then scrap the whole thing. If you don't want to touch it then put it up to a vote. Send it out to the people to vote on it. As Nancy Pelosi said, "We've got to pass it so you can see what's in it." Well, we've seen whats in it and we don't like it. Let me reiterate that point WE, AN AMERICAN MAJORITY DO NOT LIKE IT.

That's my two cents, spend 'em or put 'em in the dish for the next person.

Welfare reform and gun control

Received over $60k in welfare benefits per year.

 

Current levels of Americans on some form of welfare are at the highest they have ever been. We workers who pay taxes that support these programs are ostracized if we call into question any fraud, waste or abuse. The people that champion these programs say it's a very insignificant group that engages in any fraud, waste or abuse so we should just suck it up. Any call for common sense reform is met with strong opposition. We say they should be drug tested, the opponents say it infringes on their rights. We say they should be checked up on and make sure they are using the program for it's intended purpose, the opponents say that would make the recipients lose self esteem. They tell us that these programs are designed to help the poor to survive not thrive. How many of you out there can tell the difference between a struggling WORKING mother of two and a lazy deadbeat crackwhore mother of two on welfare? Want me to help you with that? The struggling working mom has clothes that are a bit worn, a car that is way past it's prime and if she has a phone, it's a couple years old and definitely not smart. The crackwhore on welfare? Oh, she's the one with an Aeropostle hoodie, tank and matching pants, Ugg Boots, a real Coach bag, tattoos from asshole to appetite, piercings that you don't wanna know where they are, a car that is less than five years old and the very latest Iphone with a Swarovski crystal cover. She's also the one buying $50 worth of macaroni and cheese, sandwich meat and $250 worth of lobster/steak/booze/cigarettes. Anyone else see the problem here? It's sad that this has become the norm. Octomom in the picture above collected welfare while running around making appearances and porn grossing in excess of $200,000!


I've got an idea. Why are they all so up in arms about us checking up on these folks? They say it's intrusive if we propose simple reforms. These are the same people that rally around taking my guns from me. So, this is my proposal: I think the government should give me guns. Not a gun like a crack back 12 gauge shotgun, but a real gun. A M-16 fully automatic. Maybe a .308 tactical sniper rifle or a Barrett 50 cal!! I'd love to have one of those compact automatics the Seals carry! Don't forget a couple of nice side arms in 9mm, 40cal or 380. I propose the government gives us a new gun and a set amount of ammunition for that same gun every year. There wouldn't be a country in the world that'd have the balls to step foot in this nation with the intent of war. In return for the government's generosity I would subject myself to ROUTINE checks to make sure that the weapons in question are being taken care of. That I am keeping my marksman skills up to par. That, when in possession of said weapon, the government can ROUTINELY check me for drug and alcohol consumption. I mean, they are the ones supplying the gun, shouldn't I follow the rules?

WHY IS THIS SO HARD FOR WELFARE RECIPIENTS TO UNDERSTAND?

I'm willing to put conditions on MY CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS and welfare recipients have to be handled with kid gloves so we don't hurt their feelings.When the people that GIVE me my guns want to check to see if they're being taken care of and used properly I'd have absolutely no issues letting them check. Welfare people don't want oversight because they KNOW they aren't following the rules.

Look at what I'm proposing, a well-funded, well-trained militia that can, in effect, serve a purpose in our society! Not to mention that it'd cost a shit-ton less then welfare and if we make it a point to only provide USA sourced weaponry and ammo it'll CREATE JOBS!! Hey libs, you want gun control and we want welfare reform. I'm a pretty hard-core Libertarian and I'm prime for a compromise.

I look forward to any liberal backlash on this one..go ahead and try to dispute it.

That's my two cents, spend 'em or put 'em in the dish for the next person.

"There is no there, there."

 "There is no there there." That is what Obama said about the revelations of deceit perpetrated against the American public. He stated, "Those emails were given to Congress months ago". Pretty much he said we had our chance and now it's too late. What is this, the friggin' playground? Are we playing politics by playground rules now? Too late, no tag back..neener neener. We are dealing with an administration that calculates every move and how those moves translate POLITICALLY. They have no convictions to adhere to because they only want to stay in power. Obama went on to say that the reason that this keeps coming up is political. That the Republicans are just trying to create fault where there is none. Well, all we want to know is if your administration had politics in mind with your response or rather, lack of response when FOUR AMERICANS WERE MURDERED BY A TERRORIST FACTION. We want to know if politics were first and foremost in your mind when your administration crafted a bullshit story on how it was because of a foolish YouTube Video.


Some high ranking officials involved in the Benghazi attack testified in Congress and described the incident and aftermath of it. The testimony directly contradicted the administration's assertion that the attack was driven by a tacky video posted on YouTube. The testimony given illustrated who knew what and when they knew it. The American people were lied to, numerous times and when questioned about it Hillary Clinton became angry and condescending to the Congressional Oversight Committee. When Representative Jason Chaffetz flew to Benghazi, high ranking officials testified that they were directed by State Department attorneys to NOT comply with information requests.Emails that have been reexamined show the level at which the State Department and the White House directed the editing that took place on the talking points.

There are really only two scenarios that fit here. Either the administration lied for political purposes or they lied to cover up the incompetent way the attack was handled. It really doesn't matter which one it is because the key word is LIED. They did not tell a little misdirecting fib to protect classified information. They lied and continued to lie weeks after the event. The State Department directed its employees to withhold information from Congressional oversight and still stonewall the investigators at every turn. The fox is guarding the hen house people..and the monkeys are running the zoo.

Of course all these lies went largely uncovered by the mainstream media. Their 'Golden Boy' had to go untouched until post election. The word being bandied about is 'cover-up'. Do I believe there was a cover up? YES. Even if it was just the people that wanted to see this man reelected selectively omitting information that may have proved detrimental to his reelection campaign. Selective omission is lying. Pure and simple. If they use selective omission for a purpose like protecting someone's political stature then they lose all credibility in covering that individual. The extent of the lies by omission that this administration has perpetrated on the American public is staggering. This administration will go down in history as the most dirty, dishonest and criminally negligent in all history of American Presidencies.

Keep a close eye on the shells folks, it's soon to be Hillary's chance up to bat. They are already trying to control the information that gets out. Story here. And that's from the Huffington Post of all places!

That's my two cents, spend 'em or put 'em in the dish for the next person. 

What's the cost of Obama's 'recovery'

The economy continues to grow at an excruciatingly slow pace. I'm sure the Obama administration will call this a huge victory, but at what cost? How's $85,000,000,000 a month strike you? That's $85 Billion...or $284.33 cents per United States citizen per month in funny money. Why do I say funny money? Because the Federal Reserve is PRINTING MONEY AND ADDING IT TO THE ECONOMY!

Let's break it down...say you make $1000 a month, but in order to keep your shit afloat you need to have an extra $85 a month. Say you could actually pull money out of your ass. Actually shit currency. Legal tender straight from the turd cutter. Would your ability to create growth in your situation last or eventually would that golden egg from the fart pipe revert back to shit taking all your actual money with it? That is what is happening here folks. They are printing money and that takes away the value of current currency levels. When the funny money they are printing turns to shit it won't discriminate between funny money and current currency all of the money will be devalued.

The economic recovery is smoke and mirrors folks. If you think the little bump we had when Obama took office was terrible wait until the world calls in the markers for all this funny money coming from the Fed. It's going to get ugly if they continue to funnel all that VALUELESS money into the system. Here, don't take my word for it, Wiki Hyperinflation. Go ahead, click it, I'll wait here for ya. It's all a shell game. They are pulling the wool over your eyes and your letting them do it. That's over $1,000,000,000,000 a year of worthless money being added to the system. Yes, that's $1 TRILLION if your confused by all the zeros. If that number doesn't grab you, how about this, $3411 per year, per citizen of FUNNY MONEY. It's legal tender counterfeiting. Just think about that, this administration had pumped into the economy $17,055 per citizen over the last 5 years. How can they defend this? I'll tell you how, they don't have to. Americans are like hamsters, clean chips, water and food and they are oblivious to the people that say they'll take care of them.

There fact is that the government cannot be all things to all people. If we all worked for the government and inversely the government took care of all of our needs, then we wouldn't be able to fund it. Pretty soon this will all come to bear and the people that will suffer the most are the people that buy Obama's bullshit.

That's my two cents, spend 'em or put 'em in the dish for the next person. 

How the world views us Americans

Let's clear the air. I'm proud to be an American. I am fortunate to live in this great country and enjoy the fruits of my forefather's labors. However, I believe that we as Americans have become complacent in all things diplomatic. Recently, John Stewart went of on a rant about Fox News and their coverage over the Syria / Russia arms deals that could effectively remove chemical weapons from Assad. His point was pretty much why is Fox pounding on the Obama administration when it doesn't really matter how Assad's chemical stockpile is dismantled or by whom. I beg to differ.

The majority of American's have gone out and TWICE elected a man who has proven he has no diplomatic experience or policy skills. If we go back through the past couple of President's and all elected officials for that matter, we see a distinct lack of policy making skills among the majority of the elected. We've made stars out of the people that should be doing the people's business. No longer do we hold diplomacy over slick tongue, sharp dressed snake oil salesmen. Now it's who can talk better and it doesn't really matter if what they are saying makes any sense. We've dismissed substance over flash and glam. As the rest of the world becomes more civilized and diplomatic, we become engrossed in reality television and vote in people who look the part.

Has anything that Obama has promised you (I say you because I never bought any of it) come to fruition? He keeps telling us that any strike against Syria will NOT come with boots on the ground...do you believe that? Kinda like when he said you could keep your insurance when ObamaCare kicks in? Tell that to the 100,000+ employees at IBM who are being ushered off their insurance. Or the folks over at Time Warner that are getting the boot as well. Or the myriad of businesses AND PUBLIC entities out their that are contemplating or enacting the same actions. What exactly is it that people find alluring about this idiot? So, he's a good speaker...take away the teleprompter and see how good he does. Even in debates (go ahead and go look, I'll wait) he just keeps spouting off memorized talking points and never really answers the questions. The people that voted him in are the same people that can't go a day without finding out what their favorite celebrity ate for lunch. This is the America that we have created. A nation of people who profess to have morals, values and standards, but subscribe to none. A nation that has taken the words of comedians (John Stewart, Bill Mahr) and used their opinions to drive their choices in politics.

Russian President Vladimir Putin is right in his op-ed to the New York Times when he stated at the end of his letter to Americans :

"My working and personal relationship with President Obama is marked by growing trust. I appreciate this. I carefully studied his address to the nation on Tuesday. And I would rather disagree with a case he made on American exceptionalism, stating that the United States’ policy is “what makes America different. It’s what makes us exceptional.” It is extremely dangerous to encourage people to see themselves as exceptional, whatever the motivation. There are big countries and small countries, rich and poor, those with long democratic traditions and those still finding their way to democracy. Their policies differ, too. We are all different, but when we ask for the Lord’s blessings, we must not forget that God created us equal."

(The entirety of his letter can be read here)

At this point in time, I'm sad to say that I have more respect for the President of Russia than that of my own President. I am truly ashamed of my country's ability to see past the bullshit slung by this charismatic con man they've voted into the highest office in our country TWICE. To date we still have NO WRITTEN POLICY ON SYRIA.  John Kerry said that all decisions come from the President himself. So, with that said..when he went to bed the night of the Benghazi attack, did Hillary Clinton figure there was no sense in addressing the issues because the President WAS ASLEEP AS PEOPLE DIED?

That's my two cents, spend 'em or put 'em in the dish for the next person.

The March To World War III

I'll begin today's blog by apologizing for my inactivity recently, especially given the material that is being offered by the government to expound upon. I've been getting some things done, my professional certifications required some compliance education that took up most of my extra thinking capacity. With that said, on to the blog!

Recently I've missed a bit of the side show that is our current administration so I've had to play catch up. This morning I had the pleasure of watching our Secretary of State, John Kerry, continue to try and make his case on military action against Syria. This on the heels of Kerry's 'off handed' comment "Sure, he could turn over every bit of his weapons to the international community within the next week, without delay, but he isn’t about to." Now, Russia has stepped up and has done just that. Vladimir Putin has brokered a deal with the Assad regime to remove Syria's chemical stockpile. This illustrates Obama's ineptitude in all matters foreign, which in this day and age means any matters that influence America.

But, wait...after listening to Kerry drone on and on, it is very clear that they still want to strike Syria! Russia is (or well was) our friend in the arena of world superpowers and now they are on a fine line that this idiot Obama and his ilk have created. There's another line you've drawn Barack and yes, it's your line not the worlds. As you continue this march into World War III Mr. President, you've found yourself very much alone haven't you? A very small margin of the people of the United States find that any action in Syria would be beneficial and still you continue your march? In recent polls 33% approve of a strike. I bet that number would change if the 33% actually followed international news. I bet if you polled these same 33% they couldn't find Syria on a friggin' map! Do we really want to alienate (or make enemy of) Russia and possibly China?

They have yet to prove the case as to who used the chemical weapons in the first place! It could have very well been the rebels themselves led by a veritable madman that can be shown cutting out and eating the heart of a fellow Syrian that supports Assad. The question that Obama asks is "Do we really want to let this go?" The question I have to all my fellow Americans is "DO WE REALLY WANT TO SUPPORT THIS ANIMAL??" Watch the video. I warn you, it's graphic.

What recourse do we the American people have any more? We can afford to wait until the next election cycle anymore. The world no longer moves at the speed of mail, it moves in seconds. An action at this very moment is being observed and logged, given a priority and an action plan drafted. We no longer elect people to oversee the daily business of the people, we elect people who feel the need to go off shore to impress. We have a lot of problems right here that need attention. We are not concerned with the civil war in a middle eastern country. We as a nation are guilty in using weapons of mass destruction, right here on our own soil, against our own people, in our own civil war. If Obama wants to get involved in this bullshit, then lets just park a bunch of assets around Syria, if he strikes us then and only then we strike back. Protect our allies in the region and let Syria burn itself out. 

In my past blogs I've outlined my disdain for this administration. The ideals that they've pushed upon me and my fellow Americans disgusted me. The ideals that I thought they vehemently adhered to has been a charade. It really is just about power. All of the ideals that Obama and his ilk rode to victory was smoke and mirrors. A tool to retain the power. And now all you idealistic idiots that bought his line of bullshit of  'peace, love and health for all' have to admit that he's just another power hungry politician out of touch with the entire United States, nay THE WORLD. I believe that Obama has committed several impeachable offenses, but this takes the cake. If he lashes out against Syria without the blessing of Congress, We The People of the United States need to step up and impeach not only Obama, but his entire administration.

We the People have had enough.

That's my two cents, spend 'em or put 'em in the dish for the next person.
