Quote of the Day - necessity, tyrants, and repealing Obamacare

Is Obama facilitating change or forcing it? Here's today's quote.

Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom. It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves. ~ William Pitt

In our recent political history, this might be applied to some of the actions of GW Bush, such as the war on Iraq, wiretapping, suspending habeas corpus for Gitmo detainees, etc.  

It could also be applied to the Obama Administration, in the way that they forced through their various enormous spending bills, as well as their upcoming "carbon offsets" (a.k.a as 'cap and trade') legislation.  Trust me, it will be urgent and necessary.  

As we have seen in the Obama administration, you don't need time to read or openly debate legislation, you just need time to manipulate a majority vote.

CNN's Cafferty tells it like it is - the Obama administration lies to our faces

Quote of the Day - Dan Rather the racist

Obama couldn't sell watermelons?!?  Nice.

Massachusetts: A bellwether for the country?

As Newt Gingrich pointed out today in What's Going on in Massachusetts?, Scot Brown, the GOP challenger in Massechusetts in the run for former Senator Ted Kennedy's seat, raised $1.3B this past week alone, and is now neck and neck with the liberal candidate.  This is remarkable because MA might be the most liberal state in our nation, and if it is having this trouble, this might be a sign of what's to come in the midterm elections.

One of my friends thinks that it's just a reflection of conservative angst, not a movement or trend.  Newt and I disagree with him.  We see it, albeit with hope, as a sign of what is really happening - the nation is finally waking up to the false promises (read "lies") of liberal economics and policy in general.

Hypocritical left race practices

Sure, both sides play politics, but liberals do it best.  Here's their decision chart.  Enjoy.

 

What's wrong with the Senate health care bill? OMFG

I don't often curse, especially in print, but can I just say that the current administration's health care and climate plans are the height of idiocy!  Especially since these crises are largely manufactured, and not real.  The health care 'crisis' is really a crisis of EMPLOYMENT, which the Obama admin, despite their claims of saving jobs ('Mission accomplished'), has run into the ground since Bush, promising us that it would have been worse without it (even though under their plan, unemployment got even worse than their projections had we done nothing).

So here's some conservative 'spam' that is making the viral rounds.  OBAMACARE IS AN ABOMINATION, and he is turning out to be one of the worst presidents in history.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Senator Bayh,

As a practicing physician I have major concerns with the health care bill before Congress. I actually have read the bill and am shocked by the brazenness of the government's proposed involvement in the patient-physician relationship. The very idea that the government will dictate and ration patient care is dangerous and certainly not helpful in designing a health care system that works for all. Every physician I work with agrees that we need to fix our health care system, but the proposed bills currently making their way through congress will be a disaster if passed.

I ask you respectfully and as a patriotic American to look at the following troubling lines that I have read in the bill. You cannot possibly believe that these proposals are in the best interests of the country and our fellow citizens.

Page 22 of the HC Bill: Mandates that the Govt will audit books of all employers that self-insure!!

Page 30 Sec 123 of HC bill: THERE WILL BE A GOVT COMMITTEE that decides what treatments/benefits you get.

Page 29 lines 4-16 in the HC bill: YOUR HEALTH CARE IS RATIONED!!!

Leaders in hell, an Obama joke

A joke from the conservative spamosphere...

------------------------------------------------

George Bush, Queen Elizabeth, and Vladimir Putin all die and go to hell. While there, they spy a red phone and ask what the phone is for.

The devil tells them it is for calling back to Earth.

Putin asks to call Russia and talks for 5 minutes.  When he was finished the devil informs him that the cost is a million dollars, so Putin writes him a check.

Next Queen Elizabeth calls England and talks for 30 minutes.  When she was finished the devil informs her that cost is 6 million dollars, so Queen Elizabeth writes him a check.

Finally George Bush gets his turn and talks for 4 hours. When he was finished the devil informed him that there would be no charge for the call and feel free to call the USA anytime.

When Putin hears this he goes ballistic and asks the devil why Bush got to call the USA free.

The devil replied, "Since Obama became president of the U.S. the country has gone to hell, so naturally it's a local call."

Create jobs with government spending? STUPID

Conservatives are getting tired of Obamanomics - it's just plain idiotic to think that we can tax, spend, and borrow our way out of our economic problems.  It's contrary to reason and history.  In fact, as Orrin Hatch recently remarked in exasperation at this anti-sense position, it's stupid.

Top 4 Action Steps to combat Obama's Insane Policies

Courtesy of Faith 2 Action.

1. Government Health Care Takeover. The Senate debate of health care is now underway.  Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid wants a vote to take place before Christmas. Strongly urge your two Senators to oppose this bill at 202-224-3121.  Send "Pink Slips" to all of them (as well as each Congressman) here.

2. Copenhagen Climate Change Conference.   There is great concern that the U.S. will enter into some type of agreement  when world leaders meet in Denmark for a global climate change conference that starts on Monday.  This treaty would be devastating to our economy and sovereignty.  The U.S. could also be asked to contribute billions of dollars toward implementing this.   Call the White House at 202-456-1414 and your two Senators at 202-224-3121 to express opposition to this treaty.  A number of large companies, including Coca-Cola, are supporting the treaty efforts..   Call them, and strongly urge them to withdraw their support for Copenhagen.

3.  Energy Tax Bill.   It's appearing less and less likely that a "cap-and-trade" bill will pass this year, but we must not become complacent about it.  It has already passed by the House and sub-committees in the Senate.  Continue to ask your Senators to oppose this bill at 202-224-3121.  Contact the companies supporting this and consider boycotting them, including BP America, Chrysler, Coca-Cola, Ford, General Motors, Johnson & Johnson, Nike, and Pepsi.

4.  Safe School Czar.   Kevin Jennings, the homosexual activist who was recently chosen by the President to run the Office of Safe & Drug Free Schools.  Call your Congressman at 202-224-3121 to ask Congress to expel Jennings.   Then, send letters to the President and your Congressional leaders through expeljennings.org

Obama and unemployment - "Mission accomplished"

Here's a nice cartoon that expresses how we see Obama's claims at saving jobs.  Reminds me of the picture below it.

 

Happy Halloween

Obama supporters were excited about him being a Kenyan before it 'mattered'

I'm not a birther, but I have to admit that the Obama administration's evasive and delayed responses to the accusations that he was not American born did arouse suspicion.  And of course, past articles like this one from 2004 (somehow not found by the Obama news scrubbers) makes it clear that even his supporters were excited that a foreigner could rise to such heights in the U.S.  Conservative conspiracy?  I think not.

The Audacity of Unwareness

I agree with this post from iowntheworld.com

Barack Obama, through his spokesman, claimed that he was unaware of the tax day tea parties. But how out of touch is the Community Organizer in Chief, really?
This much.

1. He was unaware that he was attending a church (for 20 years) with a racist pastor who hates America.
2. He was unaware that he was family friends with and started his political career in the living room of a domestic terrorist.
3. He was unaware that he had invested in two speculative companies backed by some of his top donors right after taking office in 2005.
4. He was unaware that his own aunt was living in the U.S. illegally.
5. He was unaware that his own brother lives on pennies a day in a hut in Kenya.
6. He was unaware of the AIG bonuses that he and his administration approved and signed into a bill.
7. He was unaware that the man he nominated to be his Secretary of Commerce was under investigation in a bribery scandal.
8. He was unaware that the man he nominated to be his Secretary of Health and Human Services was a tax cheat.
9. He was unaware that the man he nominated to be his Secretary of the Treasury was a tax cheat.
10. He was unaware that the man he nominated to be the U.S. Trade Representative was a tax cheat.
11. He was unaware that the woman he nominated to be his Chief Performance Officer was a tax cheat.
12. He was unaware that the man he nominated to be #2 at the Environmental Protection Agency was under investigation for mismanaging $25 million in EPA grants.

To quote the great Westley, speaking to the six-fingered man, "We are men of action. lies do not become us." And they do not become a president.

WSJ Says "stimulus did not work"

In the words of Iago the parrot from Aladdin, "there's a surprise!  I think I'm gonna have a heart attack and die from NOT surprise." (.wav)

In the WSJ's article The Stimulus Didn't Work, the subtitle actually says it all:

The data show government transfers and rebates have not increased consumption at all.

Consider first the part of the chart pertaining to the spring of this year and observe that disposable personal income (DPI)--the total amount of income people have left to spend after they pay taxes and receive transfers from the government--jumped. The increase is due to the transfer and rebate payments in the 2009 stimulus package. However, as the chart also shows, there was no noticeable impact on personal consumption expenditures. Because the boost to income is temporary, at best only a very small fraction was consumed.

I think it's time to get one of these:

Seriously, though, the only thing that worked about the stimulus was getting taxpayer money into the hands of liberal cronies.  I am serious about the legacies of GWB and Obama being the opposite of what many think - GWB's will be good, Obama's will be a setback for both liberals and African Americans.  Long live Clarence Thomas!

The Self Portrait

Ok, this is not really fair, since it's his FANS that think he's our savior.  However, this gets points for cleverness.  Courtesty of iowntheworld.com.

The 9/12 pictures the liberal media did not show you

My uncle sends me lots of great conservative spam, and some of it deserves to be seen.  These pictures tell a story other than what the liberal media want to portray. As you'll see below, more realistic crowd estimates place participation between 450K and 1.2M people.

Notice the actual black Americans - I wonder why the rampant 'racism' driving these conservatives doesn't seem to offend them.  Hmmm.  Maybe because that's just liberal projection from their own confused minds.  That's my guess.  Read the captions, they tell the story behind each pic.  Wonderful truth.  My notes in blue.

Protesters came from every state in the union. This man came from San Antonio, TX. He said that he was really sorry he hadn’t brought his family. He stated that being a black conservative he was afraid to expose his children to what he expected would be a lot of liberal abuse. He was thrilled with the tenor of the event and the fact that no liberals were present to harass him. He spoke about how incredibly intolerant the left is to black individuals who don’t bow to the party line.

If not racism, what ARE the motives of the anti-Obama masses?

In The boy who cried 'racism!', I broached the subject that I think that those who are complaining that the modern anti-Obama rallies and other conservative actions in the news are racist in nature are making bogus claims.  But if not racism, what ARE the motives of these modern conservative protesters?  Here's my quick list of what I think are the genuine motives involved.

CREW announces its annual 15 Most Corrupt Politicians

The non-partisan Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) has realeased its annual list of the Most Corrupt Politicians.  The list includes 9 Democrats and 6 Republicans.  They also have a followup report on previous years called Where are They Now? (PDF).  Here's the list:

• Rep. Vern Buchanan (R-FL)
• Sen. Roland Burris (D-IL)
• Rep. Ken Calvert (R-CA)
• Rep. Nathan Deal (R-GA)
• Sen. John Ensign (R-NV)
• Rep. Jesse Jackson, Jr. (D-IL)
• Rep. Jerry Lewis (R-CA)
• Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY)
• Rep. Alan B. Mollohan (D-WV)
• Rep. John P. Murtha (D-PA)
• Rep. Charles B. Rangel (D-NY)
• Rep. Laura Richardson (D-CA)
• Rep. Pete Visclosky (D-IN)
• Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA)
• Rep. Don Young (R-AK)

ACORN Cracked - Senate Defunds the partisan political machine disguised as community service

Conservatives are "gleeful about the success of the tactics in exposing Acorn workers" according to the New York Times.  Of course, the Senate vote to defund them was bipartisan (83-7), but perhaps liberals voted for it just to not piss off their constituents - but that's fine, since:

When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty. - Thomas Jefferson

So now that we've eliminated $169M of waste from the budget, let's 'move on' to Defund Planned Parenthood.  And here's the latest Diversity Lane cartoon to celebrate this small victory over political corruption.

The boy who cried 'racism!' and other self-fulfilling prophecies

I have a confession to make - I like NPR.  Even worse, I like Juan Williams, probably one of the best known black independent commentators out there - not only is he a regular contributor to NPR, but he's a regular on the O'Reilly Factor.  He often brings balance and sanity to polarized discussions, and has even written a book criticizing African Americans for their victim mentality.

But yesterday on O'Reilly, and this morning on NPR, he broached the idea that underlying the Tea Parties, the 75,000 people who marched on Washington this past weekend, and the outburst of S.C. Senator Wilson is racism - that's right, what is really driving these people is hatred for a black man in the Presidency.  Wanna hear this tripe?  Audio and transcript here. 

But I've got news for you - making erroneous claims about your ideological opponents' motives only emboldens them.  But go ahead, here's some more rope to hang yourself with - oops, was that a racist remark?  Or just black humor.  Oops, was *that* a racist remark?  Whoa, was that a demon behind that Bush...hey, was THAT a racist remark?

The Dream Van

Culled from the top of the conservative spam I get, enjoy.  There's two pics, one after the jump.

ACORN's Pimp

The latest from Diversity Lane. I must say, I am disgusted that the liberal MSM is not all over the Acorn stuff.  Thank God for Beck and O'Reilly.  It's no wonder FOX News dominates the ratings, the liberal media are in the tank for liberalism and often fail to report the news that matters.

Congress creates or solves the economic mess, not the President

It is a pervasive myth that the President is the one who kills or saves the economy, but in reality, the President can only set a tone and direction through his proposals, as well as what he may approve or veto.

It is the Congress that creates the bills and determines the spending.  In fact, the Congress can totally ignore the President if they have a super majority, and in times when the Congressional majority is from the opposing party of the President, they often do.  The American thinker has a great article entitled Whose Mess?, in which they use unemployment numbers to show that the economy ALWAYS worsens under Democratic congresses.  Why?  Because liberal economics do not work. Overtaxing the successful is the failed model of pseudo-socialism, not free-market capitalism.

The graph above speaks for itself - see the pattern?  Every time a DEM Senate takes over (blue), unemployment goes up.  When a GOP Senate is in session (red), it goes down.  Maybe you read this differently - I mean, in 1993, it did begin to go down, but that's probably because of Bill Clinton approving NAFTA, which the majority of the DEMs voted AGAINST.  So again, the only successful reduction of unemployment during a Democratic Congress may have been due to the minority GOP. 

Something to think about.

Loving one's neighbor through government programs

William Lane Craig, who usually sticks to apologetics and debates (he is arguably the best living Christian apologist and philosopher), takes on Obamacare in Bearing False Witness.

Craig suggests a few of questions that conservatives need to ask and that need to be seriously discussed:

1. Is this more efficiently and effectively done through govenment or private charity?
2. Is the healthcare program going to be so overburdened that it will lead to rationing?  What in the bill prevents this outcome?
3. It is not important what might be included (Iike abortion), but why is abortion not explicitly EXCLUDED just to prove Obama's claims that these moneys won't be used for abortions?

Obamacare is a fiasco that I hope never passes, and I hope that the death of Ted Kennedy doesn't give it a sympathy boost.  Our great country can NOT go this direction and be fiscally and socially sound. 

Promote the general welfare, not PROVIDE.

Tron is coming, but the MCP is here

So, I watched the trailer for Tron Legacy, and am really excited about it.  However, in watching the original (watching it now, actually), I saw the main villain, the Master Control Program (MCP), and I said to myself, "I've seen that picture before." Then I figured it out.  Thanks to a handy morph program, I've created my revelation for you to enjoy.

10 reasons why Obama may be the "greatest" President in history

The Obama presidency is historic, for many reasons.  However, I think that his legacy may be more negative than positive.  Here, I list my pessimistic (realistic?) list of Obama's greatest historic contributions. 

Obama's "Greatest" Moments

Obama may leave behind:

1. The greatest national debt in history
2. The greatest economic crash since the Great Depression
3. The greatest setback to racial 'color blindness' since Jeremiah Wright affirmative action Jim Crowe
4. The greatest racial insults from a sitting president since Spirew Agnew's "fat Jap" remark (Agnew was VP)
5. The greatest foreign policy miscalculations with respect to tyrants since the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact (the non-agression pact between Russia and Hitler's Germany)
6. The greatest attack of Americans on domestic soil since 9/11 (TBD)
7. The greatest rush on ammunition and survival gear since the early cold war
8. The greatest increase in government funded infanticide since King Herod (or perhaps the Pharoah of Moses' day)
9. The greatest taxpayer revolt since the Revolutionary War
10. The greatest similarity to the anti-Christ of any American President (apologies to Ronald Reagan)

And for the record, I only believe half of these ;).  The rest are cynical humor.

Gingrich: "there is a world that works, and one that doesn't"

The world that fails?  Government programs.  Obama was not mistaken when he compared the quality of private services (FedEx) and government (Post Office) to health care - DOH!  Correct!  Government healthcare sucks and WILL suck!  Gingrich uses this example, plus the difference between private banking knowing your unique PIN, and the Social Security Admin not recognizing the same SSN used over 40 times.  Enjoy the vids.

The Class That Failed - A socialist allegory updated for Obamanomics

Here's an Obama spam making its rounds among us neocons.  It reminds me of A lesson in economics using beer. These allegories are always a bit oversimplified, but they are important in that they:

• Communicate the essence of the proposed plans in a simple to understand analogy
• Communicate the clear and simple problems of the proposed plans
• Communicate the real concerns, fears, and anger of the opposition
• Involve ridicule from the minority, which should be viewed as a warning that failing to heed the concerns will lead to the next step - public defiance (can you say "Town Hall meetings"?)

What such allegories lack in sophistication they easily make up for in clarity, something most political plans, including Obama's, lack.

CNN Fortune Editor Breaks Ranks on Obamacare

In 5 freedoms you'd lose in health care reform, Fortune editor Shawn Tully contributes his opinion to the ongoing special report on Healthcare at CNN.  The subtitle says it all: 

If you read the fine print in the Congressional plans, you'll find that a lot of cherished aspects of the current system would disappear.

Here's a no-brainer:

Page by page, the bills reveal a web of restrictions, fines, and mandates that would radically change your health-care coverage.

I am so glad that someone with the visibility of Fortune is smelling the coffee before it is too late. 

10 lies Obamacare told me

I don't have time to back all of these claims up with data.   I'll leave it up to you to google for the evidence, or the contrary.  I don't care if you liberals think it's just blathering because I don't take time to explain it all to you in detail - you won't listen anyway.  I just do this to make a list for my own reference.

The change brought to Washington

Liberal groups have taken to referring to those who publicly disagree with Pres. Obama's health care proposal as "mobs," but a recent news story tells a different story:

After the meeting, everyone from grandmothers and students to veterans and mothers pushing strollers marched along Lake Merritt to Oakland City Hall for an afternoon rally at which Lee again spoke.

Oh, wait that is how the media was portraying anti-war and anti-Bush protests. Grandmothers and children protesting can now be called mobs, Nazis, brown shirts, political terrorists, thugs, etc. Somehow things have changed.

I will now agree that Obama brought change to Washington. Here are some of the changes that have taken place since his inauguration.

Liberals seeking to silence and demonize those who oppose their benighted plan

I am glad, in one sense, to see the liberals totally overplaying and exposing their hand as they seek to demonize, silence, and mischaracterize what is obviously a grass roots movement, not something run by any one powerful neocon or GOP group (though The President of the United States sent out an email to his partisans to get out and oppose the citizens attending the Town Halls - does that sound right to you?).

But today, I got a newsletter from the much maligned and hated-by-the-left AFA that summed it all up nicely.  So here you go.

The telling question you should ask your Rep about Obamacare

I get the American Family Association newsletter, and this week, they sent an intriguing statement.

Here is the single most important question you can ask your Representative and Senators concerning ObamaCare.

"Will you vote to require members of Congress to be included on any bill dealing with health care? Please give me a yes or no answer."

If the ObamaCare health care bill isn't good for the members of Congress, then it is not good for the general public.

Do you think that this is a good litmus test?  I mean, do we expect our leaders to be under the same laws as us, or are they allowed special treatment?  If so, in what cases?  In this case?

BTW, the guy that leads it, Don Wildmon (pictured above), looks anything but wild, and sounds even geekier.  I think they need a new face at the top.

What is the conservative alternative for health care reform?

Don't know?  It's not because it does not exist, it's because the MSM could care less, and so could the Obama administration.  It seems to me that all he is doing is trying to streamroll his ideological and non-sustainable program through as fast as possible.

But ask Senate Minority Whip Jon Kyl of Arizona if the GOP is just trying to make Obama fail, he responds "that's just a political ad."  In a short interview this morning on NPR, he was clear, calm, and sensible.  Please, may sense prevail, because

• Health care in America is still better than elsewhere in the world, not on the verge of catastrophe (like all liberal issues which are trumped up to emergencies)
• The Obama plan will make it WORSE, not better. 

I mean, wanna see government run healthcare?  Look at Medicare (insolvent), Veterans Care (poor), Native American Care (poor), and Social Security (insolvent).  They can't even run the "Cash for Clunkers" program well.

The minority whip sounds sane.  Obama's plan is insane, just like a real Joker might promote.  Give a listen to Kyl: Health Care Fix Should Be Right, Not Just Quick.

The Joke(r)'s on Obama

This morning, Rush Limbaugh made an interesting comment - he said that when Obama's popularity starts to flag, the tipping point will be when it becomes 'cool' to dislike Obama.  Rush thinks that the appearance of the Obama Joker poster in LA may be just that tipping point. 

What I think is really interesting is the reaction of liberals to this image - they are so shocked by this blasphemy (against the messiah, who is also black, so making fun of him is both anti-american AND racist), that they either shake their head with a worried look ("um, that's really not proper") or recoil in horror ("that's creepy").  

Of course, some libs are taking the approach that "this comparison is inaccurate," missing the point of such art pretty much entirely, just like Christians missed the point of Seranno's "piss Christ." Shocking sychophants out of their adoration is meant to reveal to THEM their worship which can make them and their oragnizations sick and inhuman.  It is attacking sacred cows.

The comparison may not be entirely accurate here, but the intent most certainly is more than just kicking a sacred negro, and letting the worshippers know that not everyone worships with them.  It's also meant to criticize his policies.  Smart people sometimes resort to such mockery when intellectual arguments are ignored.  So there you have it.

Of course, you can always just do what I am doing, which is buy the T-shirt.

Obamanomics in the real world - deficit

The CBO brings a little reality to the Hope and Dreams machine (HT: James).

Obamanomics in the real world - Unemployment

Perhaps we would have been better off WITHOUT the 'recovery' plan, eh? (HT: James)

Obama's Liberal Socialism - stupidity, fear, greed, or conspiracy of evil intellectuals?

The American Thinker has published a very interesting article entitled Barack Obama and the Strategy of Manufactured Crisis, in which the author examines what amounts to a liberal socialist conspiracy started by radical socialist Columbia University professors, Richard Andrew Cloward and Frances Fox Piven.

This strategy, now known as The Cloward-Piven Strategy, is what The American Thinker is accusing Obama of being a pawn of, and perhaps to some extent, a pawn that knows what he is doing. 

As the image to the right outlines, the links between Cloward and Piven, the many modern socialist thinkers, the founders and activities of corrupt organizations like Acorn, and Obama are too numerous to ignore.  This is not just some kookie conspiracy theory, this is how the power of ideas corrupts higher education and government, and can lead to a nation's downfall.

And to me, it in part explains why liberals can so enthusiastically buy into the social and scientific negligence of Global Warming Panic and the absurdity of the astronomical debt of Obamanomics.  It is an exercise in mass brainwashing, and like watching the Communist revolution all over again as if we never saw it happen before.

The People's Cube Strikes Again...and again, and again

I haven't picked on President Obama lately, but my most favorite wickedly funny conservative site, The People's Cube, has not been laying down on the job in order to get Federal monies. 

You gotta love, for example, a portion of the copy that attends the picture to the right:

Did you ever ask yourself is your economy big enough? Do you feel insecure about the pork in your portfolio? Do you want to stop your Dow Jones from shrinking at the most embarrassing moments? It is finally possible with the only economy enlargement product that works. You can become a lean, mean and fierce economy-stimulating machine in just days! Satisfy your community's dream of having a representative with a massive Stimulus Package. Enhance, enlarge and upsize the economy today! Stop settling for second best, get your huge bailout here!

Each image below links to a PC article with more funny images, and text for those of you who read.  Enjoy.

Germans not getting onboard with 'the Debt President'

Der Spiegel had an article on the five fallacies of the Obama economic debacle plan.  You can read the English version of Chancellor Merkel Visits the Debt President for the details, but here are the five fallacies:

1. It's not as bad as it seems. The US amassed much more debt during World War II, it is often said. That, though, is not true. According to conservative forecasts, Obama's policies could end up being three times as expensive as US expenditures during World War II.
2. The money is part of an effort to resuscitate the crisis-plagued economy and is thus serving a good purpose. The truth of the matter is that the bulk of the borrowed money will be used to finance the normal US budget.
3. When the crisis ends, borrowing will automatically fall. The truth is that it could climb afterwards. The graying of American society creates a new fiscal policy challenge for the country that so far hasn't been reflected in any budget plan. According to calculations by the International Monetary Fund, Washington would need to spend several times more than it is now just to service current pension entitlements.
4. The world believes that the US is borrowing money from capital markets. It is often said that the Chinese and the Japanese will buy government bonds. But the truth of the matter is that trust in the gravitas and reliability of the United States has suffered to such a great degree that fewer and fewer foreigners are purchasing its government bonds.
5. The additional money is harmless because the economy is starting to pull together again and there is no threat of inflation. The truth is that the quiet on the inflation front is deceptive. The hot money is accumulating in people's savings accounts and in the balance sheets of banks that aren't keen to lend money at the moment. The supply of money has increased by 45 percent in the last three years and there has not been a corresponding rise in hard assets or production. That imbalance will eventually make itself felt in the form of inflation.

In my opinion, if Obama succeeds in all of his spending (which it looks like he has), we will spend the next 40 years trying to get out from under it.  As my mom, who is a lifelong Kennedy Democrat said to me this week "I don't think I'll live to see the economy recover from what Obama is doing, but I can damn well vote Republican in the coming elections."  Now that is saying something.

Some conservative bumper stickers I got in a viral email

I haven't had time for blogging lately, but did get this humorous email I wanted to share.  I deleted the less intelligent bumper stickers, but these made me laugh, sometimes cynically.  Here are some choice stickers, with commentary.

This one to the right is my favorite, and speaks for itself.  Clever, though obvious.

Obama and his administration setting new benchmarks for spending AND lying

I hate to be negative, but today's PajamasMedia article Where Are the Cries of ‘Obama Lied, Jobs Died’? made me realize how much leftist spin there is in the media, and how little they hold him accountable. Here's some goodness from the article:

Obama does us a favor and refuses to participate in National Day of Prayer

Yesterday, President Obama announced that he would not participate in the National Day of Prayer.  And while some conservatives see this as just another slap in the face to our Christian values and heritage, others are rightly seeing this as a good decision.  I mean, how can a man who supports homosexuality and abortion be someone who shares the values of our God and savior?

You may argue that the NDOP is supposed to be ecumenical, so it should not be limited to the Christian God, and in some sense, you might be right.  But just considering plain justice and righteousness, if we come to God unrepentant about such obvious sins, not to mention the others that we excuse, can we consider ourselves spiritual? 

Truth be told, the NDOP is run and dominated by Evangelicals, and has been for some time, even though it is an officially declared national observance.  But that was done back when we actually commonly believed in the Biblical God as a populace.  Not so now.

Anyway, these are 'secondary' doctrines over which Christians can disagree, but they are not unimportant.  Self-proclaimed Christians who think this way may in truth be born-again believers, but they are not thinking biblically.  This is the same as saying one can be a Christian but support slavery.  Sure, you *can* support such evils and be a Christian, but is your support really Godly, or sinful and a shame to yourself and God?

Reproduced below is the newsletter I received today from American Vision, entitled Why Obama Should NOT Participate in Day of Prayer.  And I say AMEN.
