All That Is Necessary

Contraceptive Mandate Is Not The Real Issue

The big fight over the contraceptive mandate in obamacare is not the real issue.  The real issue is Obamacare itself.  To argue about the contraceptive mandate is to accept the premise of Obamacare in the first place.

I do not accept Obamacare so any argument over the details is a waste of time to me.

The individual mandate is simply unconstitutional.  If the government can FORCE you to buy healthcare simply because you are alive then there is nothing they cannot FORCE you to do.  It is no different than FORCING you to buy a Chevy Volt.  NO DIFFERENCE!

No Common Ground

I have come to the conclusion that I have absolutely no common ground with about 50% of the US population.  If you are a liberal, democrat, socialist, marxist, communist, collectivist (all the same thing, really), then our world views are so contradictory that there is no possible way we can "co-exist".  I believe in freedom and personal responsibility.  You do not.

It is as simple as that.  Your way is winning, I understand that.  If the worst should happen in November, I will "Go Galt" as much as possible until I can find another place to live.  And I will encourage my children to leave the USA in order to build a better life.  I don't know if such a place exists, but I will be looking pretty darn hard.

Wait & See Until November

I keep trying to think about what the next few years will be like.  No matter what I come up with it always depends completely on what happens on Election Day 2012.

The biggest issue is whether we live or die as a country.

If Obama is re-elected and the Senate remains in Democrat hands, we are done.  Finished.  Kaput.  Why?  Because it will mean we have reached the tipping point where the voting majority of the country wants a totalitarian government.  If that happens there is no point to starting a business or trying harder.  It will all just be taken from you "for the common good".

If anyone but Obama is elected and the Republicans take the Senate it will mean we have a slim chance to pull this out as a country.  A slim chance given the stupidity of the Republicans, but still a chance.  Then it might be worth it to build or expand a business and work harder.

But until November it is wait and see.

"Justice" Ruth Ginsburg - Pathetic

Just listen to these comments from Ginsburg in an interview in Egypt(!).  From Fox News:

"I would not look to the U.S. Constitution, if I were drafting a constitution in the year 2012," Ginsburg said in an interview on Al Hayat television last Wednesday. "I might look at the constitution of South Africa. That was a deliberate attempt to have a fundamental instrument of government that embraced basic human rights, have an independent judiciary. It really is, I think, a great piece of work that was done."

"Why not take advantage of what is else there in the world? I'm a very strong believer in listening and learning from others," Ginsburg added.

Indeed, Ginsburg's comments are not foreign to her overall philosophy. The justice has previously stated that she weighs foreign law as well as U.S. law when forming a legal opinion.

Look at that highlighted portions.  Unbelievable!  She is a U.S. Supreme Court justice who is supposed to rule on whether something is constitutional based on OUR Constitution, not South Africa's!!

With justices like Ginsburg we are completely screwed.

What a disgrace to the Supreme Court.

 

My Current Cabinet Picks

These are picks I think Romney should make ASAP!  If people know he will surround himself with people who will keep him "honest" they will be more inclined to vote for the RINO.

Secretary of State - John Bolton

Secretary of the Interior - Sarah Palin - you betcha!

Secretary of Defense - Alan West

Secretary of the Treasury - Ron Paul

Attorney General - Judge Andrew Napalitano

That is all.  I would abolish all the other Cabinet posts.

Now that is a ticket I could vote FOR!

Whittle - The Vote Pump - Excellent!

This video is from Bill Whittle and speaks about what money is spent to buy votes.  It is also an excellent lesson on government revenue vs. government spending.

Pakistan Helping Taliban? LOL

Why the LOL?  Because I read this headline:

Report: Classified US document says Taliban ready to take power in Afghanistan, backed by Pakistan

"A highly-classified U.S. report that said the Taliban, backed by Pakistan, is ready to take control in Afghanistan....."

No s&%t, Sherlock.  How many freaking genius government analysts did it take to come up with this gem of "intelligence"?

Good Lord!  First.  Pakistan has been helping the Taliban since day one!  Get a clue!  They are ALL islamists.  That overrides any "nationality".  So, yes, Pakistan has been helping the Taliban, is helping the Taliban and will continue to help the Taliban.  There.  That analysis cost you nothing.

Second.  The Taliban WILL take over immediately after the last NATO troops leave.  (By immediately I mean within a few months.)  The Afghan people have chosen.  They want slavery, misery and horror.  Give them what they want.  Let the Taliban take over and then wall the damn piece of shit country off from humanity.  Might as well wall off the rest of the islamic world while we're at it.  That will instantly end 99% of terrorism world-wide.

 

A "Hold Your Nose" Vote - Again

Well, it looks like I'll be holding my nose and voting for whatever jerk the idiot republicans put up against President Feckless.  Again!

But I am coming to terms with doing it.  You see, my vote doesn't really matter and won't change anything, anyway.  The majority of voters will eventually pick Romney.  But even if Gingrich wins the nomination, it doesn't matter.  If the Republican wins in November business in D.C. will go on as usual.  The President and Congress will continue to spend more than they take in.  Taxes will go up - they will just call them fees, or limit deductions on stuff.

We will still be heading for that inevitable cliff. 

If Obama wins, thanks to the majority looter and moocher class of "Americans", we will just get to that cliff a lot sooner.

It will be an interesting time for us all.

 

GOP Establishment Hasn't Got A Clue

Gingrich gets standing ovations at a recent debate.  The GOP thinks it is because we love Gingrich.

Nope.  (Personally I do not like ANY of our choices.)

It is because we actually saw someone apologetically take on the media and FIGHT!  We want a person who will FIGHT for our principals, not promise to "reach across the aisle".

The GOP establishment is really no different than the Democrat establishment.  Both just want the power to rule.

And the GOP establishment does not have a clue what is going on in the base.

Congress - Nothing But Low Class Criminals

Obama actually said something in the SOTU address I agree with!

“Send me a bill that bans insider trading by Members of Congress, and I will sign it tomorrow,” he said. “Let’s limit any elected official from owning stock in industries they impact.”

The Congress-critters don't seem to be thrilled in practice.  They immediately start saying why it cannot be done.  From Breitbart:

“Easier said than done is my reaction,” Democratic Rep. Jim Moran tells Politico’s Manu Raju on the subject of restricting officials from owning stock they could impact. “Unless you are fairly precise about it, you can conceivably influence almost any corporation.”

“It’s all transparent – if you own stock, you have to report it,” said Republican Sen. Rob Portman, defending the current rules governing personal finances.

“It’s a good sentiment, but it becomes very difficult to buy a mutual fund and then wonder what they bought,” Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin, the No. 2 Democrat in the Senate, told the D.C. newspaper. “And many of us are trying to find some way to divorce ourselves from that possibility. It is hard when we consider so many different issues.”

So, activity that would put all the rest of us in prison is just fine for the corrupt pigs in D.C.  These jerks give honest crooks a bad name.

My proposal.  Immediately upon winning a election to the House or Senate, all investments of that elected official AND THEIR SPOUSE, are converted to holdings in ONLY U.S. Treasury Notes.  One year after leaving office the official can then get control of their investments back.  During their tenure they may not buy or sell ANY stock/bond/etc.

None of this will happen, of course.  The criminals in D.C. will never allow it.

Pelosi - Put Up Or Shut up

Pelosi is a despicable piece of liberal trash.  (But I repeat myself.)  She is threatening Gingrich with some "inside knowledge".

Pelosi On A Gingrich Presidency: "That Will Never Happen"

Pelosi: "He's not going to be President of the United States. That's not going to happen. Let me just make my prediction and stand by it, it isn't going to happen."

King: "Why are you so sure?"

Pelosi: "There is something I know. The Republicans, if they choose to nominate him that's their prerogative. I don't even think that's going to happen."

The wicked witch of the west "knows something".  Please, Nancy, do tell.  Or STFU.

Lord, and this worm was the Speaker of the House.

Egypt Goes Islamist - What A Shocker

Told ya so.

Egypt's Islamists win 75 percent of parliament

"In the vote for the lower house of parliament, a coalition led by the fundamentalist Muslim Brotherhood won 47 percent, or 235 seats in the 498-seat parliament. The ultraconservative Al-Nour Party was second with 25 percent, or 125 seats.

The Salafi Al-Nour, which was initially the biggest surprise of the vote, wants to impose strict Islamic law in Egypt"

This is where democracy works ONCE.  They have voted in their own slave masters.  They won't get a chance to vote them out.

This was one of the easiest call anyone could make.

Islam and democracy or any type of "free" government are totally and eternally incompatible.

Idiots.

The Guy Fights Back

I am not a big fan of Gingrich, but, damn, the man does fight!  It is refreshing to see a Republican with the stones to fight back against the media. 

Reminds me of Lincoln's quote on Grant during the Civil War.  Even with all Grant's personal faults, Lincoln said:

"I can't spare this man, he fights."

We need someone who fights.

The MOST Depressing Fact For The Future of The USA

If you are worried about the future of the USA you will not like this information.  Not one bit.

What it the info?

That after three years of seeing what Obama stands for and what he has done to this country he is still in a virtual dead heat tie with any generic Republican who would oppose him.  Obama could very well be re-elected, even with all the evidence of the damage he has done.

Real Clear Politics has an excellent page on this:  President Obama Vs. Republican Candidate
This fact, more than anything else, spells doom for this country.

OMG! The Ignorance Never Stops With Obama

He actually said the following:

"However many jobs might be generated by a Keystone pipeline," he said, "they're going to be a lot fewer than the jobs that are created by extending the payroll tax cut and extending unemployment insurance."

So, thousand upon thousands of high paying, private sector jobs are insignificant compared to unemployment payments and a couple hundred bucks a year in extra payroll tax money you get to keep.

That is so utterly ridiculous it boggles the mind.  How did the press not call him on tha.....oh, never mind.
