Mooching, freeloading layabouts vs America

You see the mobs, protesting the evil, mean spirited governor of Wisconsin on TV every night. You see the signs, comparing Gov. Scott Walker (R-Wi) to Hitler. He must be evil. He must want babies to die, old people to starve and the working people of Wisconsin to languish in the gutters and perish. That surely must be his intention.
Wrong. Gov. Walker was elected to set the out of control state of Wisconsin's budget right. And that is what he is going to do, regardless of President Obama's best efforts to stymie Gov. Walker's proposals to bring the Wisconsin state budget into balance.
This stand off between layabout, shiftless union thug teachers and the public who pays their salaries is glorious to watch. There is only one of two ways this will end: the union thugs get their way, and the State of Wisconsin continues its drunken sailor wild spending on public union thug pensions and benefits, or the people who pay for them will prevail in cutting them back to sensible levels.
Which will it be? The 'flee-bagger' Democrat state legislators who fled into the bankrupt state of Illinois to stall a vote on this issue think they can force Gov. Walker off his position are simply dead wrong. The governor has stated that he will not budge from the position he has taken as a pledge to the voters of the State of Wisconsin to reign in profligate state spending.
You go, Governor Walker. We are behind you. This showdown is a plebiscite on the state of American politics: do we want unions to shove their desires down our throats, or do we tell them to back off?
I stand with Governor Walker. And most of Americans do, too.

What do you do now, Egyptians?

OK, Mubarak the Ogre is gone. Celebrate today, Egyptians, as this greedy tyrant has been siphoning off Egypt's lifeblood for his own enrichment for 30 years now. Living on $2 a day for the average Egyptian had to be getting old, and new days are ahead now that the main impediment to Egypt's economic development has fled the country.
.
Now what? Instant wealth for everyone? Sorry, Egyptians, that's not how it works. Some inner soul searching is now called for, in light of the new day.
.
The majority of Egyptians still have Islamic cultural leanings that will hinder any progress that is possible under a free market system. Most Egyptians believe that cutting off a hand for a minor transgression is justice. Most Egyptians believe that women should be covered and in the presence of male family members when they are in public. Most Egyptians believe that women should not drive, or vote, or have any say at all in the public discussion as to how best to allocate scare national resources.
.
With these widespread beliefs held by most Egyptians, no possible gains can be made in their economy. A vibrant economy is only possible under a government that enforces contracts and holds property rights sacred. A free market economic system also requires freedom of speech and the freedom for each of its citizens, including women, to pursue basic human rights such as life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
.
There can be no such freedoms when half the population (women) is considered mere chattel and treated like slaves.
.
Where Egypt will go from this point forward is hard to predict. But it is not difficult to see what will happen to Egypt's future if they continue to cling to these brutal and inhumane cultural choices that have shown over the centuries to give rise to dictators.
.
Much like the one they just booted out of the country.

Dubya was right all along...

Remember when George W. Bush authorized the U.S. lead invasion into Iraq back in March of 2003? His goal was to rid the world of a menacing tyrant who was directly responsible for a great deal of the instability of the region. In doing so he stated that an emancipated, democratic Iraq would serve as a beacon of hope in the region for others who yearn for freedom, and that it was the human condition to seek liberty and freedom. . He was lambasted as an idiot pie-in-the-sky dreamer, a fool, a dope. Remember all of that? I do. . Now look at what is happening in the Middle East. Iraq is indeed the model that these other countries are now seeking to emulate. Tunisia, Algeria, Jordan, Yemen and most notably Egypt; all citizens of these countries are acutely aware of the freedoms now enjoyed by a relatively stable Iraqi population, and they understandably want some of that for themselves. . Of course, their tyrannical governments want absolutely NONE of that, obviously. . To bow to their citizens and allow free elections and the introduction of capitalism, that would be the end of the dictator's palaces, torture chambers, secret police, and all of the trappings of power that they have enjoyed since the Brits, French and other imperialist 19th century countries were ousted from the region over the last one hundred years or so. . And these tyrants can't have that. . But I suspect that the tyrants currently in power in the Middle East are living their last days in the opulence supported by their looting of their population's resources. Twitter, Face Book, YouTube - tyrants have met their match in restricting the flow of information. The cat is out of the bag, and their populations have seen how others in their region are enjoying liberty and freedom. . It is indeed the human condition that fosters the hunger and yearning for freedom. George W. Bush saw this coming back in 2003 as a sure thing. And now just turn on the TV and check it out. The pursuit of freedom is bursting out all over the place in the Middle East. . Dubya was right.

Obama treats supporters like a cad treats women

Call them heels. Call them cads. Call them low down, dirty dogs. Men who habitually cheat on women are called many things, these terms among them. And Barack Obama has the same regard for his supporters as a cad does for his steady (or so it seems) love interest: tell them lies as to where you were, who you were with, what you were doing,....and on and on. And of course, he will promise the earth, moon and stars to any naive young thing that pines to believe such a cad. And these promises never come to pass, but the naive young thing will stay with the cad, hoping he will change.
Heels will lie, cheat and manipulate any and all things pertaining to their indiscretions. They will enlist the help of collateral parties to provide cover. They will swear to God in Heaven with their hands on the Holy Bible that they were not doing what we all know what they indeed were doing: cheating.
And heels don't just get caught up in the heady emotions of any single tryst: they do this over and over and over again. And even when they are caught red handed, they will lie like dogs, and suggest that you not believe your own lying eyes.
And such is the track record of Barack Obama. He promises anything to anybody stupid enough to believe him, and subsequently vote for him. Once he has their vote in his back pocket, on to the next stump to lie and over-promise to the next batch of stupid idiots who yearn for his soaring, yet hollow rhetoric on how he can deliver Heaven on earth, and have it paid for by everybody else except the crowd he is in front of at the moment.
Once Barack is safely seated in office, those promises and lies are forgotten, much like the heel totally blows off any expectations of fidelity from a committed relationship. Cads and heels do what they do without any regrets, shame or hesitation. Most of the women that are involved with cads still remain with them even in the face of blatant infidelity, and sincerely expect the cad to change his ways, as he always promises to.
It doesn't say much about the intellectual make up of the love interest of a cad to continually take this kind of emotional abuse, does it? And analogously speaking, it doesn't say much about the intelligence of a Barack Obama supporter, either.

Obama's State of the Union speech

Even though I have not been provided with a transcript of the speech, I don't need one to know what President Barack Obama is going to say: 'the state of the union is sound. The economy is coming around. My focus will be the economy and jobs going forward....etc. etc.'
And none of what he says will mean anything. He still remains a socialist, whose main goal is to redistribute wealth from those who have it to those who don't. Those who don't have any money got that way because those 'fat cat bankers on Wall Street' stole it all. And need to be gotten even with.
He will stress the many divisions in the country currently need to lessen. 'We must all get along, and tone down the rhetoric,' he will plead. And this is the guy who says he will bring a gun to a knife fight, and will punish his enemies, and wants us all to get in his opponents faces...yeah, that guy is saying we need a new tone.
And any inclinations to say he is moving to the center politically is simply disingenuous. He can say it all he wants, but to this point in his administration he has governed from the far, far left fringe of the political spectrum. To say he is moving to the center is one thing. To actually do it is entirely another.
Let's just watch what he does, and don't even bother to listen to what he says anymore.
It'll save everybody a lot of time.

'New tone' does not let liberal philosphy off the hook

Now that the liberal leftists have successfully used a mass murderer's actions to ease the pressure that has come to bear on their socialist philosophy as of late, they now are scheming to continue full steam ahead with their destruction of the American way of life and its underpinning Golden Goose: Capitalism. . The election of November 2nd, 2010 was a landslide plebiscite against what liberalism and socialism have done to the American economy when left unchecked for years on end. The voices raised against liberalism in general were so great and so convincing over the last two years, even the liberal mainstream media was unable to silence or otherwise muddy its message: liberalism is destructive. . What a lucky break for liberals: point fingers at this conservative hostility towards their destructive philosophy as the proximate cause of the murders in Tuscon, Arizona. And once the conservatives righteously raise indignant voices in opposition to being called complicit in these murders, the left then calls for a 'new tone.' Let's all just get along, and let the vitriolic and venomous attacks and counterattacks subside. Let's just all hold hands and sing Kumbaya. Dammit. And once we all agree to disagree without being disagreeable, they will then continue their destructive policies and follow their destructive agenda without having to deal with a contradictory point of view. If conservatives dare to raise their voices against this continued march into Marxism, they cry 'foul, what about the new tone?' . Lucky them. . And for the record, I am tired of hearing this mass murder called a 'tragedy,' it is nothing close to a tragedy. It was a massacre by an insane mass murdering murderer. Let's not set aside our indignation as to the left's insidious march into socialism. We must continue to make our voices heard as to our support of smaller government, less taxes and more liberty. To let this massacre derail our opposition to the destruction of our American way of life as created by the Founders is to cede the battle to the left. . We can't let them off the hook.

Illinois Democrat voters: dumbest of the dumb

Question: who is dumber than an Illinois Democrat voter?
Answer: Nobody.
Illinois politics have been dominated by tax and spend Democrats for nearly a century, the Illinois budget deficit is currently $18 BILLION dollars, and climbing. What are the Democrats in charge planning on doing about this looming bankruptcy of the Land of Lincoln?
Raise taxes, of course.
Current Democrat Gov. Pat Quinn (who was Rod Blagojevich's Lieutenant Governor for 6 years), has proposed raising the Illinois state income tax rate by 75%: from its current rate of 3.0% to 5.25%, and he promises that this rate will only be in force for 4 years, and then it will go down to 3.75%. In the meantime, everything will be set right, the deficit will disappear, and everyone will be fat, dumb and happy.
During the 2010 gubernatorial campaign, Republican candidate Bill Brady warned that this was going to happen, and had budget tax cuts on the drawing board to address the deficit concerns in our bankrupt state. Democrat voters, which outnumber Republican voters in this state by nearly 2 to 1, gave the nod to this known tax and spend Democrat in a close race, but nevertheless elected yet another tax and spend liberal to head up the state.
And now that this proposal has been announced, nearly all of these Democrat voters are howling in protest at the tax hikes. How stupid can anybody get? They voted for this, and now they got what they voted for. And yet the stupid Democrat voters are indignant?
Illinois Democrat politicians spend money on social programs and lucrative, opulent public union benefits and retirements, and simply tax the rest of the state into oblivion to pay for it all. Bankruptcy looms, and businesses are fleeing in droves. And Democrats decide to raise taxes, again. Much like the old practice of bleeding patients to cure their ailments, the more the patient ailed, the more the doctor's bled them.
Illinois has had these political doctors bleeding the taxpayer for nearly a century, and we are now so anemic and pale, what do these political bleeders do? Bleed us some more.
And Democrat Illinois voters did this to themselves. Nobody could be dumber than an Illinois Democrat voter. Absolutely nobody.
Except maybe a California Democrat voter. But that would be too close to call.
