Why do Democrats vote for higher taxes?
Why not? They don’t pay them anyways.

Why are Chicago elections so honest?
Once voters get bought, they stay bought.

Chinese Stimulus

CNBC was interesting today. There was a good deal of talk in the afternoon on  the Chinese stimulus bill. Caterpillar announced record orders from China.  The Chinese want to build 30 nuclear reactors. That sent Shaw Group soaring. The overwhelming consensus was that the Chinese, spending less than we are, are doing far more to repair the world economy  then the United States is with our stimulus bill. The Chinese, getting tired of our funny money, are stockpiling copper and other hard assets. They are spending more on telecom infrastructure alone than the entire amount of infrastructure spending for 2009 in our stimulus bill.
As a side note there was a blurb in Scientific American recently that the Department Of Energy has a viable plan for expanding our energy grid, upgrading it and it running coast to coast, at a cost of 60 billion dollars. The total infrastructure spending n the 800 billion stimulus bill is about 10% . Most of the stimulus bill gets spent  in 2010, curiously an election year.  Hmm. And the energy grid, which everyone agrees is badly in need of revamping, won’t get the attention it needs.
We will, however, get social programs and paper shuffling
The Chinese are laying the groundwork for developing true wealth. We redistribute Monopoly money.
Which leads me to ask:
Why are the Communists in Washington and the Capitalists in Beijing?

“It’s pin action economics, not trickle down.”

The homeless need the money.

Rich Pin Action

The last couple of  columns pin action economics has been looked at in medium and large scale environs. The same thing happens  as a result of wealth redistribution.  An untold number of upscale services are provided to those that can afford them. Millions depend on this for their living, even the creation of their personal wealth. There are over 300 million of us. Hitting up the top 2% is like removing 6 million small businesses from the economy.
Not good.
Pin action on the upside builds across time. On the downside it is fast and devastating.
The proper way to build an economy is to put as many people as possible on can economic path swinging upwards. As people an afford more goods and services jobs are created and  the society strengthens.
Socialism assumes a stagnancy, a sameness, a false equilibrium that ultimately drags down it’s victims.

It’s PIN ACTION economics, not trickle down.

Daily Obama Jokes 04/28/09

What is Obama’s position on illegal aliens?
They should return to their home planet.

Obama’s Nursery Rhyme

Roses are red
Violets are blue
I love me
Why don’t you?

The GM Proof
All agree. If Gm went out of business the effects would be far reaching. GM employees would be thrown out of work. Parts suppliers would themselves be driven out of  business. More workers hitting the streets. City economies collapsing. Businesses that depend on spending from GM employees would whither. Their suppliers would spiral down.
And on and on….
Pin action economics.
It’s easy to see in the face of disaster. The effects are rapid and undeniable. Plus the news media, always thirsting for the misery of others, have played it up endlessly.
What is less obvious is that pin action economics built  this chain. As GM grew so did the suppliers, the cities, the businesses that served the people.
Pin action economics.
It works two ways.
And it is the dishonest rhetoric of “trickle down” that deserves an unmarked grave.

Daily Obama Jokes  04/27/09

Obama is the second best thing to ever come out of  Chicago.
The first best? An empty bus.

Michelle can drink Barack under the table. After all, 1 gal holds 4 qts.


Pin Action Economics

I’ve mentioned previously that for an economy to be healthy and growing  money must flow freely through the nation as blood through the body. Jim Cramer refers to this effect, as it relates to companies, as pin action. It’s a hot summer. Air conditioners sell well. Air conditioning manufacturers do well. Freon manufacturers do well. Parts manufacturers do well. And so forth…
This holds true at all levels of economic activity.
Including the wealthy.
The wealthy do well. They buy stuff  like, say, jewelry. The retailer does well. The wholesaler does well. The miners do well. All along this food chain people do well. Sales people, managers,  assemblers, miners, investors, et al do well, All have money to circulate, to spend.
The Socialist Democrats have demeaned this for decades as “trickle down economics.”  They do that to paint a picture, for the sake of winning, to justify pounding the rich. Not to promote truth.
Disincentivize the rich from spending and you collapse the entire food chain.
All the rhetoric in the world won’t stop the truths of pin action economics any more than it could stop an asteroid  from striking the Earth.
Pin action economics is the reality and won’t be denied.

Daily Obama Jokes 04/26/09

When he ran for his first office Obama was unhappy with some things said about him in a local paper and threatened to sue. The paper denied any wrong doing. When a reporter asked if he planned on pressing his suit Obama replied, “Of course! I can’t campaign in wrinkled clothes!”

How did Obama get a splinter in his finger?
Scratching his head.

Congress Costs Jobs

Remember a while back when the heads of the auto companies appeared before congress?  They had their heads handed to them for taking private jets to Washington. Splashed that all over the front pages and across the airwaves.
There’s a second leg to this story that isn’t getting the same attention.
Immediately after this occurred companies began  cancelling bookings on private flights and stopped making new ones. Orders for new jets by companies disappeared down a rabbit hole into Neverland..
The result?
Private service airlines and manufacturers have laid off over 60% of their personnel.
Congressional talk caused good paying jobs to walk.
People and companies with money stopped spending it.
Other people lost their jobs.
Those people are forced to cut back on their spending…
Affecting those who partially depend on that spending….
A pebble tossed in the water, expanding it’s wave…..
I think we need to reopen the purely political piece of trash rhetoric laughingly referred to as “trickle down.”

An aide dashed  into Secretary Clintons’s office.  “There’s been an earthquake in South America! 6 Brazilians  are dead.”
“That’s awful!”  exclaimed Hillary. “But tell me, how many are there in a brazillion?”

And give me debt.”

A last comment on torture (for now).

A second lie crops up in the torture debate. Those against torture claim that you get bad information, that people say anything to get you to stop.
These people are either naïve or expect you to be.
In any interrogation, despite the methodology, a mix of questions are asked. Some you know the answers to, some you want to know the answers to. The quality of information you get for the questions you know the answer to forms a baseline for judging the viability of the remaining answers.
Properly done, information obtained by physical persuasion can be quite reliable.

Let’s move on to some more pleasant stuff….

What did Michelle say when Obama first asked her to take his name?

She refused at first. She thought "Barack" would be a silly name for a girl.

 

How is Obama like Jesus?

He thinks we're fishes and takes our bread.

 

More On Torture.

Once again I'm not commenting pro or con. There are good arguments, depending on perspective, on each side. What does irk me, though, are arguments which are invalid. One such is that torture is ineffective.

To approach this I must be honest, brutally so, with myself. You can bandy about all the intellectualisms you want on either side. It doesn't matter. When I look myself in the eye I must admit that I would eventually spill the beans. I'm no hero, Not a bastion of macho. I'm just an ordinary person. And, faced with sufficient physical persuasion, I would talk.

I probably shouldn't make this kind of confession publicly, but it's true. That being said, the argument that torture is ineffective vanishes, No amount of spurious false intelletualism can overcome the reality of my self knowledge.

If you think torture is ineffective, ask yourself what you would do if you had a secret and the bad guys wired a car battery to your genitals. Honestly, would you talk in time? If so, then you have to admit that the argument is nothing but rhetorical tactical positioning. And if you wouldn't talk? You are either deluding yourself, or you're a better man than I, Gunga Din.

John Kerry, briefcase in hand, entered a Boston pub, sauntered to the bar and ordered a Manhattan.

His drink arrived and he downed it quickly. "Hey," he exclaimed, "that was the best Manhattan I've ever had. I think I'll have another."

So the bartender brought over a second drink. Kerry quickly downed it, too. 

'That one was even better!"

"Can I get you one more, sir?" asked the barkeep.

"No, two is my limit," replied Kerry as he put his money on the counter.  "But let me reward you for drinks well made." With that Kerry opened his briefcase and plopped a live lobster on the counter. "This is for you."

"Hey, thanks!" beamed the bartender. "I'll have him for dinner."

"Oh, he's had dinner," said Kerry. "Why don't you take him to a movie?"

 

Danger, Will Robinson! Danger, Will Robinson!

Before beginning let me make very clear this entry is not about torture. It is about free speech. Where ever you stand on torture doesn't matter.

Recently  there has been talk of prosecuting legal advisors to President Bush for the perspectives they gave on what constitutes torture. What they did was examine the law, definitions supplied by congress in 1995 and give an opinion. What they did was speak freely.

Prosecute someone for this and we are all in trouble. If professional lawyers can be prosecuted for giving an opinion to the government while employed by that same government to do exactly that, then where do the rest of us stand? Which opinions can we express that won't get us sent to jail? Is the only speech that's free that which agrees with the administration?

If you are for or against torture, you have a right to speak.

If you are for or against a war, you have a right to speak.

If you are for or against mom's apple pie, you have a right to speak.

Even considering prosecuting these guys for rendering an opinion threatens that right for all of us. I fear we have some very dangerous people in power.  And I will say so.

Excuse me, there's a knock at my door....

 

 

What's black and white and red all over?

Transcriptions of Obama's speeches.

 

Obama is doing the job of three men.

Larry, Curly and Moe.

 

More On Money

I mentioned previously that money needs to be concentrated to do any good. It has one more property that needs to be discussed. It must flow freely, circulating through the body of the nation, to keep the muscles of the economy healthy.

Doesn't that contradict  what I said about concentration of wealth? Not at all. There is a difference between wealth and money. The wealth of the rich comes in the form of assets. Their money is invested in bonds, stocks and business. It is used to finance and build. The wealthy circulate money by putting it to work in countless ways. 

View each concentration as a heart. It beats, pumping the blood of money through the body. It flows, returning to the" heart", and gets pumped out again.

Socialism destroys this dynamic.  It stifles the vibrancy, the growth, the innovation that is needed for a free society and economy. It reduces money to a mere mush used for sustenance and little else.

 

Now that the Obama girls have a dog Michelle is being very firm.

"Having a dog means learning responsibility. You will feed the dog twice a day. You will walk the dog three times a day. And you will clean up the dog's poop. Is that understood?"

"Yes, dear," replied Barack.

 

"Why were the Republicans disappointed in the Obama's choice of dogs?

They were hoping he'd get one named "Puddles."

 

The Roll Call

It's hard to believe that anyone could buy into a socialist agenda. One does not even have to discuss politics or philosophy. One just has to look at the roll call of history:

Lenin

Stalin

Hitler

Mussolini

Franco

Mao

Castro

Chavez

 

Which of these guys would you like to live under? 

In point of fact all totalitarian states must move left. It becomes an imperative to control the people, to control the economy, to control business, to control speech, to ultimately try and control minds.

These are the methods of the socialist state.

There is not and never has been a conservative dictatorship. With an emphasis on personal freedom and responsibility, conservativism (which is not, by the way, the same thing as being a republican) is diametrically the opposite of socialism. Always has been.  Always will be.

 

 

 

Why is Obama such a big supporter of public housing?

He lives in it. Why not everyone?

 

Michelle's birthday is always a problem for Obama. He likes to get her something practical and she always gets upset and cries.

So this year he's getting her hankerchiefs.

 

Wealth redistribution attacks the very mechanisms that create wealth and prosperity. In order to do good there must be concentrations of wealth. Divide everything up according to some philosophical view other than earned merit and movements forward grind to a halt. Who is there to build a building? How can one open a new restaurant or other business? How would funding become available  for new research? And on and on.

For progress to occur wealth must exist in concentrations and must be given the opportunity to propagate itself. 

Biden and Obama were talking one day and Biden said, "You know, maybe we should listen to the Republicans more. They are smart businessmen."

"What do you mean?"

"Come with me and I'll show you."

So they left the White House and Joe took Obama to Harry's Hardware Emporium, run by Harry Mercer, a known Republican supporter. They entered and found Harry at the counter.

"Excuse me, " said Biden. "I need a set of left handed screwdrivers."

 "One minute," replied Harry, and he disappeared into the back.  He returned a minute later with a set of screwdrivers. "Here you go. One set of left handed screwdrivers. That'll be $29.95."

The  politicians made their purchase and left. 

"There, you see. Left handed screwdrivers!  I told you they were smart!"

"What's so smart about that?" challenged Obama. "He just happened to have a set in the back!"

 

Wealth Reduction

Socialists believe wealth redistribution is the solution to social ills and poverty. In actually wealth redistribution leads to wealth destruction. Their belief is rooted in several simplistic fallacies.

The first of these is that wealth is a static measure. that the amount of wealth does not change. Just as there is so only so much oil, or coal, or uranium, they implicitly believe wealth is an absolute.

While it is true that at any instant there is so much wealth, that amount changes second by second. Wealth can be created or destroyed. Let's say all the wealth  of the country was redistributed in the summer of  2007. The stock market was nearing it's all time high. Everyone would have gotten more. The same result at the beginning of March 2009 would have had a far lesser result. The market was down over 50% and each would have received less. This wealth reduction was the result of market forces acting on the perceived value and earnings power of companies.

Since then, as earnings have started appearing better than expected, mark to market accounting rules been modified and some credit bottlenecks alleviated, the market has  risen 25%.

The wealth here is not an intrinsic thing, it's a function of  what people are willing to pay. When people are willing to pay more for what you have, you are wealthier. When they are willing to pay less you are less wealthy.

Now imagine how  these companies would be valued if we redistributed them. We socialize Coca Cola. Every family in America gets, for the sake of argument, 3 shares. Demand for the shares would fall. There would be no efficient market for their exchange. The value of the shares would plummet.

Redistribution would destroy wealth. And while wealth can come back when it's concentrated and traded in reasonably efficient markets, there would be no mechanism of return from this diffusion.

Wealth wouldn't be redistributed, it would be destroyed.

There once was a millionaire who had a live in butler. Every Monday the butler had the night off and attended a meeting of the socialist party. Then one Monday night the butler stayed home and read a book in his room. The millionaire was curious, but said nothing.

The following Monday the butler again stayed home. The next morning the millionaire asked his butler, "How come you've stayed home the last two Mondays? You always looked forward to your socialist party meetings."

"The last time i went they announced the results of a study. If all the wealth of the United States were divided amongst the citizens everyone would have $10,000."

"So?"

"Well, sir, I have $20,000."

 

A Sort Of Sin Tax

Here's one last idea for an alternative tax before moving on to other topics.

Let's tax birth control!

A 10 cent per condom tax sounds like a winner to me. And perhaps a 1 dollar tax on a month's supply of birth control pills.

People aren't going to stop having sex over a little tax. It's a sure fire fundraiser. True, the devout Catholics will get a break, but the rest of us won't be singing "I've Got Rythym."

And they said it couldn't be taxed.

Just to be safe, though, if I were president I wouldn't present this idea until my second term....

"

With Obama in charge of energy policy what natural resource will he exploit?

The taxpayer.

 

Obama's economic policy has me back on my feet. Last week they repo'd  my car.

 

A True Sin Tax

Everybody loves a sin tax.  They give one a moral justification to vote themselves other people's money. "Oh. look. They smoke cigarettes! That's morally wrong! Let's beat them up and mug them and take their money!"

Why not have a real Sin Tax?

Let's  add on a 50% federal penalty to every criminal and civil fine in the country. You get a $100 speeding ticket, you pay $150. 

A corporation gets a $100,000 fine for something, they pay $150,000.

The calculation would be automatic, the courts are already there to handle collection, and people who have actually broken laws and/or rules get to pay.

Sounds like a plan to me. Got a light?

What is the first thing Obama did when he heard he won the election?

He was so happy he flapped his ears and flew around the room.

 

What should he have done?

Demand a recount.

 

A Tax Alternative.

Now that the pain we all feel for the sake of misappropriated  congressional power ls over for another year let's, just for fun, look at some alternatives to income theft, er, taxes. Basic ideas to think about, of course, not full fledged proposals.

First up:  A national property tax.

Consider. No forms to fill out ever. Value assessments are done locally.  Collection methods are already in place. just piggyback on those. The tax rate could be graduated, based on the value of the property so the poor pay little or nothing and the wealthy pay more.

No convoluted set of deductions, no tax preparers to pay, hours of your life back from preparing forms and saving and sorting receipts, no class warfare, no irs, no audits. Paper pushing administrative jobs that build costs into our economy, lke IRAs, 401Ks and Flexible Spending Accounts would no longer have a purpose.

Everyone knows in advance what will be due.

An estimated 14 trillion dollars is hiding from the tax man overseas. No reason for that anymore and who would care anyways?

Commercial properties would be taxed at their full value. No federal tax breaks due to local abatements.

Lobbying for tax breaks ends.

I can't imagine a better platform to build a tax system on.

 

 

How many union workers does it take to change a light bulb?

"What's it to ya?"

 

What advice did Bill Clinton give Obama on foreign relations?

"Don't have any."

 

Every year we hear the litany of phrases. Tax Reform. Tax Simplefication. Tax Reduction.

 Blah, blah, blah.

It hasn't happened and it won't.

Our poor handling of  the Constitution in this regard has given almost unlimited power to congress. The tax code can be used to punish those who don't play ball and reward those who do. States, industries, and sociocultural groups  all feel the touch of the velvet fisted glove.

Further, it has given rise to the entire lobbying industry. As lobbyists curry favor amongst the powerful our congressional leaders receive perks, ego strokes and a feeding of their sense of importance and power. Worship at the altar of the tax break.

You get hours of forms to fill. An expensive tax preparer to pay. Convoluted "tax savings" plans like IRAs, 401Ks, and Flexible Spending Accounts. These things sound good on the surface, but would be unnecessary with a proper tax code. They really create jobs for paper shufflers and administrators while feeding you the illusion that the government is generously allowing you to keep more of your money.

Worst of all tax policy and positions can be tailored to the garnering of votes. Nothing like promising your voters other people's money to assure popularity. "Hey, let's you and me get together and mug that guy. He can afford it."

As long as power, taxes and congress are tied together the last thing we can expect is any real change. Sorry, that's just the way it is.

 

Why is Obama such a party animal?

He loves to socialize

 

Why did Obama bow to the Saudi king?

The teleprompter was on the floor.

 

Taxes: where we got screwed.

Initially our forefathers  did not give the government the power to tax income. They did not foresee what was to come and thus built insufficient safeguards for personal property into the document.

Later the progressives, our first liberals, got through an amendment allowing the feds to tax income. It had no limitations on what the government could do. No safeguards for the people. The initial tax was supposed to target just a few people and at a miniscule rate.

It was the camel sticking it's head in the tent.

With infinite taxing power now at it's disposal, congress soon was raising rates and lowering thresholds. Eventually tax rates hit ninety percent at the upper brackets and all but the lowest strata paid something. 

Now the tax code is being used as a social weapon. About half the country pays no taxes. Others pay an unfair burden as people get to vote themselves other people's money.

And congress revels in and abuses a power it was never intended to have and which it usurped through a legal fiat.

If you wonder what it is you smell  this time of year, it's the rest of the camel invading your tent.

How does Obama now define "enemy combatant?"

"Republican."

 

Obama was touring the farm belt, looking to sell some more giveaways. At one farm flies kept buzzing around his head, annoying him greatly.

"What kind of flies are these?" asked Obama of the farmer.

"Those are horse flies," answered the farmer. "You usually find them around a horse's ass."

"Are you implying I'm a horse's ass?"

"No sir, but those flies are hard to fool."

 

Amazingly, greenies can change direction at a moment's notice, even if it's to stop ideas they presented. Wind power is a good example. They sold this for years. Now that it may start adding to our power supply it must be stopped! Birds fly into the arms of the wind turbines.  And wind turbines have to be constructed far from  the power grid. This means new transmission lines would have to be built. Can't have any nasty old power towers build in the grasslands, forest, desert, etc.

Give me a break!

They also ignore any innovations that would disempower their attempts at controlling the rest of society. MIT has, for example, develloped a methodology for atmospheric scrubbers. Each would remove 18 tons of carbon dioxide per year from the air. Ever hear one word about that from the greenies? Nope. Can't advance their control freak plans to drive our society back into a more primitive state,

Ever hear of Project Iter?  Didn't think so. This is a prototype fusion power plant being built in France (France! Why not Texas or Montana?) and scheduled for completion around 2016. Forget conventional nuclear plants, coal fired plants, solar and wind. Perfect fusion and that is the way to go.

But you never hear the greenies talk about this. Promoting a positive idea would end their ability to complain and try and control how the rest of us  do things.

Lastly, you hear no talk of hybrid reactors. The main problems with conventional reactors are 1. they leave significant waste that is very hazardous and needs to  be stored and 2. like oil, uranium is a dwindling resource. No one is making more. A hybrid reactor combines fission and fusion principles  and burns up as fuel 99% of the toxic waste. The University of Texas at Austin has plans for one. So why aren't the greeniies and media talking this up?

The answer, as always, is that it's not about the environment, it's about control.

 

Easter Sunday

He Is Risen

Yes, Obama got up at seven thirty this morning, went potty, had breakfast.....

 Seriously, Happy Easter!

What did Obama and Indian president Patil discuss when they met?

They told Sikh jokes.

 

What is Queen Pelosi's favorite recipe?

A recipe for disaster.

 

One thing I hate about greenies is the chain yanking.

Let's take polar bears. 

We get treated to cute looking polar bears struggling on ice floes. We're told global  warming is killing them off. We must return to the stone age or they will all die. Sniff.

The fact is there are 25,000 polar bears in North America. Around 1970 there were 5,000. Sounds like a nice comeback. Those cute  polar bears are, by the way, mean spirited beasts that would rip your head off in a New York minute.

We see the bears on an ice floe. How many bears got trapped on ice floes in 1980? 1940? 1900? Ice has always broken off  the arctic and I'm reasonably confident bears have been getting trapped on them as long as they've existed. These icebergs can be quite large and dangerous. Remember the Titanic? I've no doubt bears being trapped on big bergs is nothing new.

Polar bears endangered at 25,000? How many were there in 1900? 1800? 1500? What is the right number of bears? The greenies never tell us. As if they knew. 25,000, for all  I know, is the right number for the habitat.

It's not about the polar bears. It's  about controlling you and your life.

There are only about 400 California condors, up from a low of about 20. If it were really about preventing the exticntion of a speciies then why aren't we being inundated with condor commercials? Videos of cute little carrion eaters bursting forth from their eggs? The lone bird ripping the entrails out of a hapless rodent?

Because it's not about conservation. Just good, old chain yanking control.

Why is  Michelle upset with Queen Pelosi?

Pelosi thinks Barack has just the right sized stimulus package.

 

Why will Obama win in 2012

Once you've gone Barack, you never go back.

 

 

Oh, Arrggh!

An Obama science advisor has advised we adopt radical means to fight "global warming."  His idea is to shoot light reflecting substances into the atmosphere to deflect sunlight and cool the planet.

Sigh.

News flash! In the past the planet has been a complete snowball. In the past the planet has been a pole to pole swamp. It heats up. It cools down. Through natural processes. These guys seem to think that the Earth should never change. They look around and say "It should always be like this. Change is bad."

Change is natural. Normal. An integral part of evolution.

I wonder what  these guys would say if our civilization arose, say, in 1399 a.d. The Earth went through a "mini ice age" from 1,000 to 1,400. It was significantly colder than it is today.  What would they have screamed then? "Stop building campfires! Put out that torch!"

And exactly how would they know the dfference between a "man made"  and natural shift in climate trends anyways?

Seems to me the greenies are fueled by arrogance, a desire for control and kids who want to play with matches.

Obama's speeches are loud, full of hot air and make you feel good.

Sort of like passing gas.

 

Conservatves curb their dogs

Democrats curb other people's dogs.

 

A Final Note On Nazis

The Democratic party has been, frankly, hijacked by socialists. They couldn't get anywhere with their own party, so took over a branded one. The far left, powered by organizations like moveon.org, have been funded by George Soros, an alleged, at least, Nazi sympathizer in WW2 Hungary. Militant left wing organizations join in attacking Jews and Israel, physically attack speakers who disagree with them, attempt to silence those who oppose them, and try to intimidate Democratic politicians who won't play ball. Remember Joe Lieberman?

George Soros recently announced the world needs a new world currency, replacing the dollar as the reserve currency. That would trash the value of the dollar. Soros plays in those markets. I wonder if he has a bet down? And on what side of the table?

Are you a long time democrat? Is this the party you joined those many years ago? I  think you've been hijacked.

And, yes, I fear it could happen here.

Why does Obama spend 11 am to 11:15 by himself in the oval office every morning?

He's in time out.

 

Why do so few people laugh at Obama jokes?

Liberals don't think they're funny. Conservatives don't think they're jokes.

 

Nazis Continued.

I became aware of how powerful the liberal media's tie in of nazism to conservatives had become a few years back. My wife, a college grad, well paid professional with a Mensa level i.q., and I were watching an old Game Show Network program called Inquizition. The question to the contestants was simple: Is Nazism a left wing or right wing movement? My wife blurted out "right wing!" I told her no, it was left wing. She gave me a look that was a cross between incredulity and pity mixed with a healthy dose of surprise. As I recall all three contestants answered right wing. All were shocked when the host answered left wing.

To me this shows just  how powerfully the liberal media can sell  and promote an untruth. One of  the greatest services that could be performed for the voters of  this country would be to get the message out that Nazis are left wing.

Nazi

It's not National Conservative

It's not National Republican

IT'S NATIONAL SOCIALISM!

There once was a Prez named Obama

Whose socialist ways caused a trauma

Our taxes shot higher

Our lives, they grew dire

And all as he laughed, "Yo' mama!"

 

How did Obama get that great smile?

Eating bananas sideways.

 

Liberal Misdirection:

I've been annoyed for years by the liberal media trying to associate fascism with the conservatives,  We repeatly see pictures from Nazi Germany tied to politicos like George Bush and commentators like Glenn Beck. Either liberals don't understand what Nazis stood for, or they don't want you to.

Nazi stands for National Socialist. This was a subset of fascism and a left wing political movement. Hitler incorporated German nationalism and his personal hatred of Jews into the mix. These two elements are Hitler specifics, nor rightly part of fascism per se.

Hitler came to power as the Depression gripped Germany. He fed on the people's fear. He gave great speeches. He engineered a strong economic recovery and nationalized the banks before moving to other segments of the economy. He was very popular.

Any of this sound familiar?

 

 

How many Obamas does it take to change a light bulb?

None! That's a union job!

 

What is Obama's favorite movie? 

"Clueless"

 

Comment:

Remember when vetoless George was spending money like a drunken sailor? The Dems challanged all that spending, demanding to know how the increasing deficits would be paid for. The Republican answer, met with derision by the Dems, was that we would grow the economy and grow our way out of the deficit.

Last week former Clinton treasury sec Robert Reich was on cnbc. With the deficits mounting to 26 per cent of gdp. he was asked  how the Dems plan to pay for it. His answer? To grow the economy.Same one the Republicans gave that Reich and the Dems scoffed at.

Truth, it seems, has become a matter of convenience.

Hi!

I'm posting this initial entry while constructing the site. Let's put up a joke and I'll see how it works.

 

What will Obama do after fixing the economy?

Make the trains run on time.
