Free kibbles

More like Obama launches socialist whirlwind. Obama's parrots try to convince Americans that the stimulus boondoggle was bipartisan despite zero Republican votes in the House, only three in the Senate, and a conference process that basically rewrote the bill with no Republican input. Now that Obama's stimulus boondoggle has passed, the one that was going to save the country from imminent collapse, the White House is dampening expectations. Maybe when Obama said his administration would be transparent, maybe he meant transparently frauds, counting on the mainstream media to cover up that they're just jerking the country around and playing liberals like a violin. Obama to sign stimulus boondoggle on Tuesday. I thought it was an emergency. I thought Congress had to stay in session because it was an emergency. I thought there could be no debate because it was an emergency. If a few days don't matter, why wasn't that time spent debating it (or even just reading it)? Tax cuts my ***. Tax credits and rebates are not tax cuts. They're just handouts. We can't allow the Democrats to redefine the term that way.

Democrats using Tom Delay tactics. Obama is like Bush on steroids. The Who understood. Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss.

I'm not holding my breath over negotiations between Pakistan and the Taliban.

US military to accept immigrants with temporary visas and special skills in return for citizenship. Sounds smart to me.

Michelle Malkin accurately describes Obama's Florida town hall as a revival meeting for savior-based economics. I watched some of it. It was sickening. Hallelujah.

Walter Williams understands that government recognizes no constitutional restrictions on its actions any more.

Michael Barone describes the politics of the New Deal.

Prohibition does not work. I would say the War on Drugs has worked as I expected. It didn't work the first time, so why would anybody expect it to work the second? Einstein would say those who expected otherwise were insane.

Anybody who uses the phrase "rethink free speech" hates freedom.

Brit advocates banning Greet Wilders's anti-Islamic film because it might incite Muslims to violence. What he's saying is the threat of Muslim violence is holding free speech hostage. That's not acceptable. If Muslims or anybody else respond to speech they don't like violently, they're criminals, and you put them in prison. We cannot allow our freedom to be held hostage by the threat of violence.

Republicans in California stand firm against tax hikes to fix the budget deficit. Good for them. California counties revolting because they've been cut off from the feed trough.

Barack Obama is showing himself to be the weak leader we expected.

Blagojevich's replacement for Obama's seat, Burris, may have committed perjury. That's nothing in Illinois.

Author points out what many are afraid to say - the Bush/Obama bailouts are fascism. We keep calling them socialism, another form of collectivism, but more accurately, when government buys stakes in companies and starts telling them how to run their businesses - that's fascism.

If you spent a million dollars a day since Jesus was born, you wouldn't spend have spent $1 trillion.

Silicon Valley folks never struck me as libertarian in the least. They were always statists except when it came to them. Anybody who thought Obama had a libertarian bent is a super-fool.

If hiring managers want to do credit checks on the people they hire, that's their business, but it shouldn't be used to exclude anybody. A credit check just shows somebody is out of work or has been out of work for a while. It doesn't tell you anything about how good an employee they would be.
