Politics

We’re always hearing about greedy capitalists. Well, they’re not alone.

These teachers make more than the average Wisconsin, they don’t have to pay hardly anything into their retirement and they can’t get fired. Contrast that to the millions out of work who can’t even get unemployment and you can call this protest BS.

This however is a more fair comparison

Most economic (and even social) conservatives are very tolerant despite the hype and negative spin coming from the progs. A large percentile of people who are right of center are more libertarian that ever. It’s time the haters get shoved aside on both sides of the political divide and the majority of people come together to find common ground. For too long political debates have been driven by the extremists who are not looking out for the average citizen.

Nice to see he is going for a non-partisan position. More people in Hollywood need to do that.

(Yes, I am a non-partisan myself, despite what it may appear. I am not for either party. I am for smaller government that works. I support any politician who seriously seeks that goal.)

A certain Senator decided he should be president only one year into his first term. Governor Christie makes a very good and humble point.

The “Tragedy in Tuscon” as the press is calling it has been used by partisans, mainly on the left, to try to demonize and brand their opponents, despite the fact that they had nothing to do with it. It’s yet another in a long like of hysterical responses that has been going on since Bill Clinton started with the politics of personal destruction when he blamed conservatives for Oklahoma City. And the 2000 election and Iraq/Afghanistan wars only made things worse. It’s gotten to the point where both parties are being abandoned in droves and people are registering as independents.

Come on in, the water’s fine. As soon as the parties are made to feel accountable by the electorate, they will start to clean up their act. They haven’t gotten the message yet. At leasdt, the Democrats haven’t. The Republicans so some signs of getting it but they’re on a short leash.

The usual hacks are trying to shut down political debate like good fascists, using this event as an excuse. They do it every time.

But what’s really concerning is how politicized and polarized things have gotten. This has largely been the invention of the political class which is trying to use fear and anger to get people to agree with their agenda. In the process they are losing voters on both sides.

America is sick of arguing. We want responsible leadership. Right now we don’t have it. The side that starts acting like sane adults has a good chance of winning in 2012.

In the DC beltway they have nicknames for both political parties. Republicans are called the stupid party. Democrats are called the evil party.

Why evil? If it’s not obvious to you by now I don’t know what to say except look at the way they’re acting over this recent shooting in Nevada. They immediately blamed it on the Tea Party and Sarah Palin, even though the shooter has no connection to either and is in fact a leftist wacko who lists his favorite books as Mien Kampf and The Communist Manifesto. Hardly big on Tea Party reading lists. Not to mention he’s into burning American flags.

But look who the democrats and their minions in the press and blogs are acting. They’re all pointing the fingers at the tea party and Sarah Palin. Even TMZ, which is very pro-Democrat is polling the completely stupid question: Should Sarah Pain be blamed?

The excuse for blaming her goes to to last year’s election where she “targeted” Democrats that she said should lose because of their support for Obamacare and the Stimulus. We’re talking three months ago or more. Completely unrelated to this shooting. But this particular politician, the one who was shot, was one of the politicians Palin “targeted”. And if you go around to social network sites all the usual robots are repeating the same hysterical meme like good little slaves. Because that’s how Democrats work. They lie to their believers and get them all worked up in order to demonize their opponents.

And these are the same people who are always calling Republicans racist at the drop of a hat and screaming about profiling.

Instead of dealing with the sad facts of this case, where a guy who was obviously insane, despite his politics, the left is going into over drive to blame the right. This is what they did over the Oklahoma City Bombing in the 90s. Politics in this case had nothing to do with it. The shooter was to the left of a relatively moderate Democrat.

It’s disgusting stuff like this which drives me to speak out as I do about politics. These kind of actions are a threat to our freedoms and liberties because Democrats like to use them to pass new laws taking away more of our rights. Watch what happens in the following weeks if they manage to get any traction with this. The MSM are ignoring the shooters political ties while continuing the tea party rhetoric.

The worst fascists in history have used these techniques to tighten their grip on power. The Democrats are not your friends, or the good guys, or on your side. And if you believe I’m wrong you are either George Soros or about to find out the truth the hard way.

The Congress just voted to repeal Obamacare. The CBO sent out the message that such a move would cut half a trillion dollars in spending.

The Congressional Budget Office, in an email to Capitol Hill staffers obtained by the Spectator, has said that repealing the national health care law would reduce net spending by $540 billion in the ten year period from 2012 through 2021. That number represents the cost of the new provisions, minus Medicare cuts. Repealing the bill would also eliminate $770 billion in taxes. It’s the tax hikes in the health care law (along with the Medicare cuts) which accounts for the $230 billion in deficit reduction.

A great way to start off the 112th Congress. And it shows how they can cut the deficit and debt and taxes all at the same time. Of course, the president and Senate Dems will try to kill it. We’ll see what they do. But in doing so they will reveal themselves to be against saving half a trillion dollars in spending and $770 billion in taxes. Not to mention a ton of regulations.

On Nancy Pelosi’s first day as leader of the 111th Congress in 2007 she made the following pledge.

But what really happened is her congress is responsible for more debt and spending than all the previous 100 congresses combined. This is a congress that was criminally negligible, if not criminally intent. There have been several times when they said they wanted more power from the people. They wanted more taxes constantly, to pay for their reckless behavior. And anyone who dared criticize them or speak out was labeled an extremist. Remember all the tea party bashing?

Of course, plenty of people believed their lies and still do, despite all that’s happened. Fortunately, most do not. Obamacare is still unpopular as ever. The voters kicked out a lot of Democrats last month.

The president said last week that this was the most “productive” congress ever. Considering how much damage they did to the economy, I guess those theories about him trying to trash America are true.

Mark Twain said it best: ‘No man’s life, liberty, or property is safe, while Congress is in session.’

The 111th Congress is closing out the week with the last few things they could ram through. But even worse than the START treaty are two things Obama pulled off without congress, against the will of the courts. And this may give us a taste of what’s to come starting next year.

Obama’s FCC decided they could regulate the internet yesterday and this is something the statists have wanted for awhile. Today, Obama’s EPA decided to do their own end run around congress imposing their version of Cap and Trade with new regulations on carbon emissions which will undoubtedly raise energy prices and kill jobs. During one of the worst winters on record they want to “fight global warming” with their utterly stupid and unscientific limits on carbon emissions.

Obama said he is focusing on the economy now. Apparently, he wants to kill it.

Next month a wholly different congress will come in and hopefully reverse a lot of the damage Obama has wrought. There will also be plenty of investigations into these many illegal attempts to seize more control of the economy. People on the left and the right are very concerned about the things this administration is doing. They should be because its all to the benefit of special interests whose motives are nothing less than corrupt. Many of the bills passed in this congress benefited big players who were in business with the administration and penalized and punished those who were not.

The Pelosi congress is shutting down this week and they are all going off to vacation or retirement as many of them were voted out. It’s too bad Pelosi will becoming back. But we can hope she will be there to see all her horrible work get undone before her eyes.
