TAX AND SPEND:

I've taken lots of commentators to task for saying Obama wants to Europeanize America. No. Obama wants to do far worse, and these fools refuse to grasp all the evidence in front of their eyes. Another case in point is that European governments are trying to cut deficits and debt and become more fiscally responsible but Obama is pushing them to increase the deficits and debt just like he's doing in America. Obama is trying to collapse not just America under a the burden of government and spark a Marxist revolution. He wants to destroy western civilization by igniting Marxist revolutions all around the world.

REGULATION:

All these financial regulations will add significant costs to finance companies, forcing smaller and less profitable companies out of business, making the remaining companies bigger, more profitable and more immune from the consequence of risk than ever. We'll all be poorer and more at their mercy as they wreak greater damage on our economy.

EDUCATION:

Most college economics classes use Paul Samuelson textbooks (mine did). Here are three quotes from Samuelson:

""Every economy has its contradictions …. What counts is results, and there can be no doubt that the Soviet planning system has been a powerful engine for economic growth." — Paul Samuelson,Economics, 1985 edition

"Contrary to what many skeptics had earlier believed, the Soviet economy is proof that … a socialist command economy can function and even thrive." — Paul Samuelson, Economics, 1989 edition

"The Road to Serfdom was 'inaccurate innuendo about the future'." — Paul Samuelson, 2009"

And you wonder why your college graduate kids are stupid. And...

"Samuelson even went so far as to say in his textbook, which was by far the biggest seller of its day, that "it is a vulgar mistake to think most people in Eastern Europe [during communism] are miserable.""

Maybe Samuelson isn't used as much any more. We can only hope.

GLOBAL WARMING:

Spanish green energy company sends unassembled bomb as threat to author of study critical of the green jobs program. This green energy scam only exists because of the violence of government - taking money from citizens at gunpoint and giving it to others. There's fortunes to be made off this criminal enterprise, so we shouldn't be surprised that it's violent like all big-time criminal operations.

This sounds scary.

"Senate Democrats believe they've found a surefire way to force Republicans to support a sweeping climate and energy bill that directly addresses greenhouse gas emissions."

...

According to a staff-written summary of yesterday's closed-door caucus meeting obtained by E&E, senators discussed a legislative strategy "more akin to the financial regulatory legislation than of health care, with Democrats bringing to the floor an impenetrable package that Republicans could not roadblock."

So Democrats are going to paint that anybody who doesn't vote for their as yet unwritten, new cap and trade bill as being supporters of BP and oil spills. I've wondered why they didn't do that since the oil leak started.

POLICE STATE:

Ontario cabinet, not legislature, gives Canadian police the power to search anybody without cause within five meters of the G20 security fence.

"The regulation also says that if someone has a dispute with an officer and it goes to court "the police officer's statement under oath is considered conclusive evidence under the Act.""

Canadians are nearly as stupid as we are.

Don't taze my granny!

"Lonnie Tinsley of El Reno, Oklahoma made a nearly fatal mistake last December 22 when he went to check on his grandma, Lona Vernon.

Concerned that Lona hadn’t taken her medications, Lonnie called 911 in the expectation that an emergency medical technician would be dispatched to the apartment to evaluate the bedridden 86-year-old woman.

Instead, that call for help was answered by nearly a dozen armed tax-feeders employed by the El Reno Police Department.

Understandably alarmed — and probably more than a little disgusted — by the presence of uninvited armed strangers in her home, Lona ordered them to leave. This directive, issued by a fragile female octogenarian confined to a hospital-style bed and tethered to an oxygen tank, was interpreted as “aggressive” behavior by Officer Thomas Duran, who ordered one of his associates : “Taser her!”

“Don’t taze my granny!” exclaimed Tinsley. According to a lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court, Tinsley’s “obstructive” behavior prompted the police to threaten him with their tasers. He was then was assaulted, removed from the room, thrown to the floor, handcuffed, and detained in a police car. At this point, the heroes in blue turned their attention to Lona.

The tactical situation was daunting; at this point, the police had only a 10-1 advantage over a subject who — according to Duran’s official report — had taken an “aggressive posture” in her hospital bed. The sacred imperative of “officer safety” dictated that the subject be thoroughly softened up in order to minimize resistance.

Accordingly, one of the officers approached Lona and “stepped on her oxygen hose until she began to suffer oxygen deprivation,” narrates the complaint, based on Lona’s account. One of the officers then shot her with a taser, but the connection wasn’t solid. A second fired his taser, “striking her to the left of the midline of her upper chest, and applied high voltage, causing burns to her chest, extreme pain,” and unconsciousness. Lona was then handcuffed with sufficient ruthlessness to tear the soft flesh of her forearms, causing her to bleed.

After her wounds were treated at a local hospital, Lona was confined for six days in the psychiatric ward at the insistence of her deranged assailants from the El Reno Police Department.

It has long been established that the worst thing to do in an emergency is to call the police. In this case, Lonnie Tinsley didn’t call the police, yet they barged in anyway and quite nearly “helped” his grandma to death."

I'm sad to say I'm not the least bit surprised by this.

WAR:

Islamic websites claim Obama fired McChrystal because the war in Afghanistan is lost. There's a lot of truth to that.
