Free kibbles

SOCIALISM:

Obama the socialist and jobs:
"The Obama administration is working on a new study right now on how the federal government can do more tasks that are currently being done by the private sector."
We have a name for that - socialism.


Obama recess appointment opens door to radically changing labor regulations.


FASCISM:


Republicans rail against fascism on the one hand while embracing fascism-lite on the other. Democrats do the exact same thing, except Obamacare isn't fascism-lite. It's full blown fascism. It's like conservatives and liberals think fascism is good when their team is doing it, and it's only bad when the other team is doing it. Wrong. It's always bad. The tyranny ladder analogy I used before is perfect. Sometimes we go to the left side of the ladder. Sometimes to the right. But we're always moving up the tyranny ladder.


ECONOMY:

Government and establishment economists are shocked, shocked I tell you, that the economy lost jobs again in March. People who consistently wrong are not experts. They're idiots. Stop pretending otherwise.

TAX AND SPEND:

Nice analysis of America's debt problem.

EDUCATION:

CBO revises estimate on Obama's seizure of student loans from cutting the deficit by $68 billion to adding $52 billion to the deficit. What's a $120 billion error after the reconciliation process where the accurate number would have stopped Obamacare between friends?

HEALTH CARE:

Boeing takes a write-down because of Obamacare. The fiduciary responsibility to report these losses is more important to the companies than Waxman's intimidation plan.

The other day, somebody, I think it was Boortz, reported that Pelosi had instructed Democrats to go on offense over Obamacare during the recess. Today he reports she told them to run and hide from Obamacare. These write-down announcements are having an effect. Now 55 percent of Americans want Obamacare repealed. But like I said, Republicans don't want it repealed. They're backing off of the repeal message.

Obamacare puts $250 million toward promoting abstinence. It probably also gives out a box of condoms with each abstinence pamphlet.

ENERGY:

What kind headline is this?
"Risk Is Clear in Drilling; Payoff Isn’t"
Who does this guy think he's fooling? Liberals apparently. The risk is virtually zero and the payoff is guaranteed to be huge.
"President Obama set out to fashion a carefully balanced plan"
Central planning is not the president's job. This land belongs to the people, not Obama. The people are supposed to decide how many resources they want to devote to this task with no interference from government.

Words matter. We think in words. We think the same words we use. The president is the President of the government of the United States, not of the country, and we should call him that so it becomes ingrained in our heads. We should change the seal to be accurate.

POLICE STATE:

How dumb do you have to be to fall for a scam in which you put a key to your house in a lock-box so the police can come by and supposedly check on your welfare whenever they want? Police don't care about our welfare. They care about their welfare which includes arrest quotas and wielding power over others. Needless to say, they killed one of the participants.

Two cops taser 10 year old kid. They should be prosecuted.

Police preying on minor speeders to line the government coffers.

WAR:

Boortz says we shouldn't worry about the McCain-Lieberman indefinite detention of anybody including Americans bill. We should trust the Obama administration (and every future administration). He must have fallen out of his plane and landed on his head.

US Navy captures pirates.

FOREIGN POLICY:

China backs Iran sanctions. Iranian government displeased. You know this whole process is full of bribes, bullying and threats. I wonder if there's a link between this and Google pulling out of China.

Karzai accuses UN of manipulating Afghan elections. Why not? They're all corrupt.

The UN human rights charade calls defamation of religion a human rights violation.

POLITICS:

It's classic Cloward-Piven strategy to orchestrate crisis after crisis that only bigger government can solve until the system collapses under the weight of government. Obama is a master at that.

Since he passed Obamacare and open the floodgates to his Marxist agenda, Obama wants to pass financial oppression, amnesty and tax and trade before November in hopes of pleasing his Bill Ayers, bomb-throwing base.

Comparing Barack Obama to Mikhail Gorbachev. Sure, both transformed their countries into collapse, but Gorbachev did through liberalization. Obama's more like America's Lenin, trying to collapse America to spark a communist revolution. They have the same slogan: the worse, the better.
"Did anyone think to ask YES WE CAN what? Yes we can tax this country into an economic meltdown."
I guess since Lenin wasn't a leader at the time, he's nixed from the comparison list.
"Revenues from alcohol sales (taxed up to 6,000 percent) were a major source of funding for the central government, generating enough to fund the entire medical budget. The anti-alcohol campaign ended when the government realized it was costing too much. The government's budget began to lose 25 to 30 billion rubles per year. The anti-alcohol campaign did irreparable damage to the economy. With state revenues having been severely curtailed, an economic chain reaction set in that hurt every sector. The Central Bank began to print money, resulting in too much money chasing too few goods. By 1990 the government had virtually lost control over economic conditions. Government spending increased sharply as an increasing number of unprofitable enterprises required state support."
Now this is a great comparison.
"Yuri N. Maltsev wrote: "The sad legacy of Marxism is the mindset of certain people, both in the East and West, who believe that the state can cure all economic ills and bring about social justice."
Is that Barack Obama I hear chanting YES WE CAN…"
Tell me about it.

When you hear that liberals are unhappy with President Obama, don't believe it. Of course they want him to me even more destructive than he is, but this list shows they're pleased as punch with all the damage he's done.

MEDIA:

Five attacks on tea partiers. Anti-big-government my butt. If they were anti-big-government, they would have started rallying in 2000. They should be more anti-government than they are.

MISC:

Congressman tells navy admiral he's concerned that add 8,000 people to Guam will make the whole island tip over and capsize. And he wasn't joking.

Comparing the US to Argentina. It's accurate, but not pretty.

Another economic fallacy: consumption does not drive production. You have to produce in order to consume. Trying to power an economic recovery by boosting consumption cannibalizes capital which makes our economy more primitive and poorer. We see it with our declining infrastructure and empty buildings. It's going to get worse every year until we change directions.
"The closest thing to a magic potion for individuals, families and the American economy is a job."
But not just any job. A job producing something Americans want to buy. This illustrates another economic fallacy - all work is not created equal. Some work is more valuable than other work because people are willing to pay a higher price for the output of that work. Government has no way of knowing how to manage this, and government jobs produce nothing just like digging ditches then filling them back in.
