Free kibbles

Is anybody surprised that the companies which received bailouts pumped $114 million into politicians coffers before hand? This is a fabulous investment. Why bother with quality goods and services when you can just pay aristocrats to give you tax payer money? That's protection money. Our government is a protection and vote buying racket. And we keep electing the crooks from the same 2 parties every election and wonder why they're stealing us blind. Frankly, this is qrotesque, but it's our own fault. Fortunately the founding fathers gave us way to have a revolution without torches and pitchforks. We have to vote out both these crooked parties instead of falling for their phony partisanship election after election.

Boy did Obama screw up again today. He had planned to meet with 17 families of the victims of the Cole bombing to discuss the potential of dropping the charges against one of the terrorists who bombed it. But before he sat down with them, he ordered the judge to drop the case. When the families heard, they realized Obama wasn't interested in what they had to say, so they canceled the meeting with him. That highly public snub can't do anything but hurt Obama. The commander of the Cole wrote a letter attacking Obama for denying justice to the victims of the Cole. Good for those families and good for the Commander. Obama is more concerned with live terrorists than the families of dead Americans.

It turns out some families are still meeting with the president while others have backed out.

Right now Obama is giving a speech attacking Senators for debating the stimulus bill. This continues the Obama camp's nasty attacks on free speech that were used during his campaign. If a stimulus bill is going to be passed, Americans deserve to have Congress thoroughly debate it to insure that the bill works for Americans, not against them. Obama's bill is not a good bill. It will harm our economy. Our representatives should stand firm against the president because America can't stand to have government do yet more harm to our economy.

2 and a half weeks into his presidency, Obama is losing his cool and melting down. He mocks Republicans for having the temerity to debate and try to improve his stimulus bill. Obama's definition of bipartisanship is Obama stays on the radical left and Republicans cave to the radical left. That's not bipartisanship. You have to remember that Obama's entire career revolves around Marxists terrorists like Bill Ayers and Marxist thugs like Saul Alinsky and ACORN. Obama is a thug, Rahm Emanuel is a thug, and it's showing. Republicans lost power because they spent our tax dollars like radical Democrats. It seems they figured that out about 8 years too late, but better late than never.

Obama steps up his alarmist rhetoric and his bullying tactics regarding the stimulus. I think his attempt to bully senators will backfire with both parties. Obama can no more be bipartisan than fish can breath air.

Boortz makes a good point about Obama - he wants unconditional talks with Iran but he wants to end debate on the stimulus boondoggle. I'm sure Obama would defend Osama bin Laden's free speech rights, but not Republicans'. In one way, I can understand Obama's frustration. Republicans spent the last 8 years implementing gratuitous, irresponsible spending programs like Democrats, but now that Obama and Democrats are in power, Republicans have pretended to suddenly rediscover small government principles. That has to be frustrating for Obama. Too bad. Two wrongs don't make a right. Republicans are finally doing the right thing. Obama's refusing to admit the only reason he won this election is because of the irresponsibility of Republicans for 8 years.

Republicans have managed to cut $150 billion out of Obama's stimulus boondoggle, lowering the price to $780 billion, but they shouldn't cave. This price tag is still uber-outrageous. This entire bill is a bad bill that will harm Americans and empower Democrats if passed. Nobody should vote for it.

Congressional Budget Office says what most of us have known all along - Obama's stimulus boondoggle will make the economy worse. Great quote from Margaret Thatcher as a bonus.

Hamas doesn't give a damn about the people of Gaza. UN halts aid shipments to Gaza because Hamas keeps stealing them. Good for the Ban Ki-moon. Under past directors, the UN would have ignored these thefts and just kept supplying Hamas.

Stimulis parody of Cialis.

Democrats will hike your taxes, but you won't have to pay them.

Republican fund raising chairman compares Republicans trying to improve the stimulus to the Taliban. You can't make this stuff up. Joe Biden would have a hard time sticking his foot deeper in his mouth. This would be comical if it wasn't so dangerous.

The New York Times wants us to believe that after years of war and rebellion in Sri Lanke, the people will be worse off with peace.

The WSJ has caught on to what Mises has been telling us for weeks if not months - we're in for a period if significant inflation, and Obama's stimulus boondoggle will only ad to is as the Fed is forced to print 1 trillion more dollars to pay for it.

The husband of Obama's Sec. of Labor nominee finally paid off back taxes he'd owed for 10 years after she got nominated. Everybody should be Democrats so they can get away with not paying taxes. Maybe that's their master plan....

Democrats don't want to acknowledge the consequences of freeing the Guantanamo detainees and stopping the interogations that stop terrorist attacks.
