Be Afraid. Be Very Afraid.

The future of America has spoken:



You laugh. This kid went to a government-run school. Every year there are more of these zombies walking the streets of America, voting.

I don't hear you laughing......

Buyer's Remorse

Voters Didn't Kick The Tires

Are you noticing what I'm noticing?

Driving down the street, are you noticing the dearth of Obama bumper stickers? They seem to be vanishing quicker than the man's credibility. During the election season you couldn't drive a single block without seeing at least one sticker. Now, they're as rare as a gaffless Joe Biden speech.

Drudge is reporting that RASMUSSEN will release a report later today claiming that Obama's approval rating has dipped below 50% for the first time.

Wa happen'?

Well, essentially the American people are coming to the realization that what they were told by Obama's opponents in the 2008 election really IS true: the guy is an empty-headed Chicago talking head who has never run anything in his life. All he knows how to do is talk, and his endless campaigning for the job of president, even six months after his inauguration, is beginning to wear thin in the heartland.

There are those who would suggest that middle America is beginning to catch on to Obama's socialist agenda, but I don't buy that. I don't think your average, Oprah-overdosed family unit gives a hoot about socialism. Wasn't that their grandfather's enemy? Hwah... old stuff. Socialism died with the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. Right? I mean Chavez is just a mean frat boy, right? Wasn't loved enough by his mother, right?

Something like that.

No, what I think is really causing this turnabout - especially in the minds of Republicans who voted for Obama in order to punish Bush (try not to think of the logic behind that decision TOO much - you'll get a headache) - is the fact that the guy really is an empty suit. Just talk. Talk, talk, talk. And they're tired of his condescending voice ("Let me be clear").

Most Americans were able to forgive Clinton for his endless self-obsession; his easy charm disarmed their questions about his policies. The true problem for Obama is that his charm is not easy, it's forced. Just like the lover who see the man she brought home from the bar the night before in the harsh reality of brutal morning sunlight, voters are wishing they'd kept their legs closed that cold November evening in 2008.

The good news in this is that Obama's policies can no longer hide behind his quickly-eroding charisma. Maybe, a few months after Obama's new-car sheen is just a faded memory, middle America will finally see those policies in the harsh reality of morning.

Obama's Desperation

An interesting article from The Los Angeles Times: What's really behind Obama's sudden plea for troubled health reforms today. The article basically states that Obama's nationalization of America's Health Care industry is beginning to look like anything but a done deal and desperation is setting in at the White House. Congressional support is slipping, including support from Democrats. This is all good for America, bad for the socialist left who sees Obama as their last, best hope for implementing their sweeping Marxist agenda.

There are comments after the article. One is by a "Jack Smith," obviously a pseudonym. I did a Google search for the title of his far-left screed (AMERICA’S NATIONAL HEALTHCARE EMERGENCY!) and came up with the fact that this person - probably an agent for the Obama Administration - has been posting this "commentary" on blogs all over the internet.

You can read it if you wish. I responded to his post with the following commentary:




First off, you should all know that the "Jack Smith" post has been appearing on blogs throughout the internet in the exact form you see it here. So, it's obviously NOT from a "Jack Smith", and it IS an attempt by someone either in the Obama Administration, or one its far-left social media outlets to promote Obamacare.

Let's dissect this nonsense:

    "It’s official. America and the World are now in a GLOBAL PANDEMIC."

Pretty scary words. Yet, despite the propaganda of the WHO, this swine flu disease has still not exploded like they predicted. Scare talk, nothing more.

    "STAND READY AMERICA TO SEIZE CONTROL OF YOUR NATIONAL HEALTHCARE SYSTEM."

Fascist tautology. You are being given your marching orders by the socialist left. Who's going to seize control of the healthcare system? The people? No, the government.

    "All because of GREED! And the PRIVATE FOR PROFIT healthcare system in America."

Nothing could be further from the truth. Don't let the "greed" word scare you. This is a tried-and-failed buzzword of world socialism. To them capitalism means "greed". They know nothing except what their socialist educators tell them. And it's all lies.

    "And while all this is going on, some members of congress seem mostly concern about how to protect the corporate PROFITS! of our GREED DRIVEN, PRIVATE FOR PROFIT NATIONAL DISGRACE. A PRIVATE FOR PROFIT DISGRACE that is in fact, totally valueless to the public health. And a detriment to national security, public safety, and the public health."

The biggest load of socialist claptrap I've read in a long time. You have go to back to speeches by Lenin and Stalin to find garbage as skewed as this. Or maybe Chavez... Note the words "greed" and "profit" together. The red flag should be waving over your heads, folks. This IS Marxist. Plain and simple.

    "Progressive democrats the Tri-Caucus and others should stand firm in their demand for a robust government-run public option for all Americans, with all of the minimum requirements progressive democrats demanded."

First, note how many times he uses the word "robust". Have you EVER seen any program that has been run by the government that is "robust"? It's a joke. We know from history that EVERYTHING the government runs is turned to ruin. Just look at Social Security. You want THAT for healthcare? And "public option"? The House bill OUTLAWS all private health insurance. Page 16. Read it. And whenever you read "progressive", know it's liberal-speak for the far left.

And what is the "Tri-Caucus"? Anyone?

    "President Obama declare a state of NATIONAL HEALTHCARE EMERGENCY! Seizing and replacing all PRIVATE FOR PROFIT health insurance plans with... (A Single-payer National Healthcare Plan For All)."

Hey, Chavez did it with the oil industry and the communication industry in Venezuela! THAT should make Obama's poll numbers skyrocket!!!

    "Coverage can begin immediately through our current medicare system. With immediate expansion through recruitment of displaced workers from the canceled private sector insurance industry."

"Recruitment of "DISPLACED" workers." - All those health professionals who will lose their jobs under government health care. Of course, the government will set their wages - which means they won't have enough money to pay off their education debt. The number of people entering health care will drop drastically.

Basically everyone who now works in the healthcare field and the private health insurance field will now become government employees. Run the numbers... You think your current tax rate can sustain this many added government employees?

    "Funding can also begin immediately by substitution of payroll deductions for private insurance plans with payroll deductions for the national healthcare plan."

This is also known as a tax. Do you think they'll only tax the "rich' on this because that's what they told you? Everyone will be taxed through this back-door method of "payroll deductions". See your "FICA Deductions" on your pay stub? That's your Social Security tax. Tax.

    "This is what the vast majority of the American people want."

A flat-out lie: you can tell this is boilerplate crap because our mysterious poster NEVER read the article! "70% of Americans are satisfied with current healthcare, and 98% DON'T want taxes to go up to pay for" Obamacare.

    "And this is what all objective experts unanimously agree would be the best, and most cost effective for the American people and our economy."

Not even the democrat-controlled Congressional Budget Office agrees with this statement! They KNOW it's going to be a budget buster. So, who is this person talking about, anyway? No sources cited means it's just propaganda.

    "STICK WITH [OBAMA]! He’s doing a brilliant job."

Even the left is beginning to question Obama's brilliance at anything other than campaigning.

    "THE BATTLE OF GOOD Vs EVIL!"

Capitalism=Evil. Socialism=Good. This is the bottom line for these people. Read Ayn Rand's "We The Living" if you want to know where we're headed with this type of thinking.

    "Join the fight."


A Socialist rallying cry from the beginning of the 20th century.

Listen. America needs only TWO THINGS to fix 95% of what ails our country. 1. Tort reform, 2. Term limits for congress. Think about it. That's the fight we should be fighting: smaller government and stopping the abuse of our legal system as a weapon. It will be a tough fight, but we have to do it. And the first thing we must do, in 2010, is THROW OUT ALL INCUMBENT CONGRESS MEMBERS. Boom. Out. replace them with real people, not career politicians.
