Obama Will Force on Employers What he Opposes for Feds
Jun 15, 2008 Political
Barack Obama was making the rounds through Pennsylvania and he gave the familiar stump speech of lowering taxes on the middle class, raising taxes on the rich and spending untold billions in programs. The he said he would require employers to set up retirement accounts for their employees:
He said employers should be required to set up retirement saving plans for workers even if they contribute no money to them. Workers would automatically be enrolled unless they choose to opt out, he said. That way, he said, “most people will save more.” Breitbart
Why is it he will force employers to do something that he will not allow the federal government to do and that he strongly opposes? Why is it that he will not allow our Social Security, the government extorted retirement system, to be privatized so each employee has a say in how his money is invested? The reason is simple. Politicians have been taking the money they force us to pay and they have been spending it on everything but Social Security. They limit how much people can receive regardless of income or how much they paid and then they go after more of our money when they spend our retirement money.
Imagine if these employers set up accounts and then spend the money on their business or for their personal items. Obama and the Congress would be trying to put them in jail (and rightly so) but these people will have done nothing more than what Congress does with the money it takes.
We have seen the Democrats admit that keeping more of our money is good for the economy (in the “rebate” program) and now Obama is admitting that retirement accounts for each employee would force us to save and thus allow us to have money in retirement.
How about Mr. Obama and the federal government lead by example here and allow us to set up our own accounts with our Social Security money so that we can retire with wealth?
I don’t agree with forcing employers to do these things. It is not the government’s business or duty to mandate how businesses or individuals plan for retirement. The government has already gotten its hands on our money and screwed up the entire Social Security system. It is high time we were able to control OUR money and to decide how it is invested.
Most people know better how to handle their money without the government telling them. Considering how poorly the government does with fiscal issues it is ludicrous to expect them to handle our retirement with any sort of responsibility.
What say you Mr. Obama? Are you ready to privatize Social Security? Seems you like the idea of saving so what better way to do it than allowing us to actually save OUR money?

Marxist, Obama Supporting Judge, Strikes Death Penalty
Jun 14, 2008 Political
Judge James Burge of Ohio has ruled that the state’s method of executing prisoners violates the Constitution because two of the three drugs used cause pain to the person getting them. I am no judge but the Constitution does not say that punishment should be pain free. It only says that it may not be cruel and unusual.
Amendment VIII:
Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted. [emphasis mine]
Under this judge’s interpretation we would not be allowed to make criminals in jail do any strenuous work (like being on the chain gang) because they will have sore muscles when they are done and God forbid we cause them any pain. As far as someone being put to death, what does it matter? They have a few seconds of pain and they drift off to la la land and never wake up. I am pretty sure that for most of the murderers on death row, this is a hell of a lot more humane then how they took the lives of their victims.
We have established that the Constitution does not protect against pain, only against inflicting cruel and unusual punishment. Once pain is out of the equation we have the injection of drugs. We give needles every day and we inject medications every day. The people to whom we do this have not been convicted of anything so they are not being punished. No, we do this because it is the common way of giving certain kinds of medication and of starting IVs and drawing blood. Therefore, it is neither cruel nor is it unusual.
Judge Burge has this entirely wrong but being wrong about the Constitution should not surprise anyone when one views the picture of the judge. The judge looks like Satan without the horns and the wall behind him has a picture of Ernesto “Che” Guevara an Argentine Marxist revolutionary who was a brutal killer and who has become the icon for leftist movements. On the wall next to Che is a picture of Barack Hopey Obama. This is the second published photo I have seen where an Obambi supporter placed it next to Che which seems to be the common thread among his supporters. One was at an Obama campaign office and now this one in the judge’s office. [The picture can be viewed at the linked source]
To Socialists (Marxism is a form of Socialism) like Burge, Che, and Obama, the Constitution is a living document that can be bent and reshaped to fit just about any need. They have no concern for the basis of the law or the idea that the Constitution lays out a solid foundation rather than a flexible platform. They do not concern themselves with these things because they know that they can bend and shape the Constitution to fit their whims, like not executing someone because of a little pain. I guess he found pain in the Constitution where the SCOTUS found abortion.
Speaking of abortion, ever notice how so many leftist twits will work their butts off to keep a convicted murderer from being executed but will do anything they can to help murder unborn children? An unborn child feels pain but that does not stop the left from worshiping abortion in the church of liberalism. They take great pride in allowing a doctor to snip open a kid’s head and suck his brains out just seconds before he is born. Obama even agrees with allowing them to be born and then left alone so they can die, simply because their mothers did not want them.
The world would be a better place if these liberals had been aborted by their mothers.

Obama Will Screw The Wealthy
Jun 13, 2008 Political
I know the idea of screwing the wealthy appeals to many people though I personally don’t understand that mentality. With regard to Social Security and retirement, the idea always appeals to liberals. Social Security is a mechanism with which the government keeps people in poverty because the government controls the fund (which is a misnomer because there is no dedicated fund). The government gets less than a 1% return on the money in Social Security and yet they refuse to consider privatizing at least a portion of it. The presumptive nominee Barack Obama used the current stock market tumbles to stress the point that if retirement money had been tied up in the market people would be hurting right about now. The fact is, they still would have earned more than SS does and they would have the potential to earn unlimited amounts and to receive unlimited amounts in retirement. With SS, one is capped no matter how much income the person made in his lifetime.
Obama wants to increase the amount of Social Security taxes one pays if income is over $250,000. He also wants to raise the cap on the amount that is subject to SS deduction. Obama believes that it is unfair for people making under the cap amount to pay SS on 100% of their income while those who earn more than the cap don’t pay on the portion of income above it. This sounds fair but it is not. People who make a lot of money and who do not begin drawing benefits early are capped on how much they may receive. At about $150,000 the monthly benefit (for 2008) is $2381. It stays at this number regardless of how much money a person makes above the $150,000 so a person who makes $250,000 (or even a million dollars) still only gets $2381. If Obama wants to talk about fairness, how fair is it that they are capped on what they may receive when those who make below $150,000 will get a benefit based upon 100% of their earnings?
As far as privatizing Social Security goes, it is the only proper thing to do. As it stands right now, money is collected from workers and paid to those who are currently drawing benefits. Workers who die prior to retirement lose what they have paid in. Reduced benefits can be paid to spouses but this does not take away from the fact that when you pay it in you lose it, it is no longer yours and you cannot pass it on to your heirs as you could with money you put away in savings or in the stock market. Workers who put a portion of their SS deductions into a private account would make more money and be able to retire on more than $2381 a month. They would also be able to pass the money on to their heirs. The government does not like this because people who are financially independent do not depend on the government and have no need for more social programs. Politicians can’t scare old people for votes if those people are well off.
Obama is a Socialist who believes in redistribution of wealth. He talks about fairness but his ideas are no where near fair. Wealthy people pay almost all the taxes in this country and the liberals keep tapping them for more and more. It is not right and it should not be tolerated.
If only people in this country learned the value of saving and how they could take care of themselves we could all retire in better shape and without government intrusion. Unfortunately, people have come to rely on government for everything. Social Security to the elderly is like crack cocaine to a junkie. Once they get it they are so tied to it they will vote for anyone who promises to protect it.
If they had been able to invest in their youth they would not have an addiction to government.

Chris Matthews Hears Banjo Music from Obama
Jun 11, 2008 Political
On Chris Matthews’ show Hardball, he said that People could vote for Obama or McCain and he said that it was like being on the Titanic and they could choose to stay or they could choose to be saved (I told you he was the Messiah of the left). In Matthews’ diatribe he basically said that McCain equals being on the Titanic and Obama equals Deliverance. Many of the comments at the source expressed the same first reaction I did. They thought of the movie Deliverance where one of the characters gets anally sodomized by another man. This is perfectly appropriate for what we are in for if Obama gets elected President.
One commenter pointed out that the Titanic analogy of today is not bad because, as liberals keep telling us, the ice is melting so there are no more icebergs for the ship to hit.
It is amazing how deeply in the tank Matthews is for Obama. I guess this and the Deliverance reference explains why Matthews gets a sensation in his leg when Obama speaks.
It also makes the name of his show more relevant to how he feels.
Squeal like a pig Chris…

Obama Website Cover Up; Is Google Helping?
Jun 8, 2008 Political
There is currently a lot of buzz throughout the blogosphere regarding Barack Obama’s website. Obama had a couple of items on his site that were disturbing to say the least. Pam at Atlas Shrugs has a list of the items with screen shots. The screen shots were necessary because as soon as the information started making the rounds it started disappearing from Obama’s site. The Obama folks have worked to have every trace of the offensive items disappear and there is word, though I have yet to see proof, that the lefty loons at Google are helping to get rid of the offensive stuff.
Obama’s site had items up with statements about Jews that one might expect from an anti Semite such as Mahmoud Amadinejad or about any other Muslim. It was typical stuff about Jews owning the media, Jews owning Congress, how politicians better do what the Jews say or else and all that kind of stuff. There was a page with support from Muslim terrorist supporters like Jemaah Islamiyah who is happy to support Obama because he will talk to Amadinejad, a man who has been misunderstood. There is also the obligatory tribute and support from the Black Panthers, the Jews were behind 9/11 and all kinds of other vile stuff.
Obama’s folks have been really busy today trying to get this stuff down and trying to make sure that no trace of it exists. I am no web guru but I have read in several places that a number of things are taking place to ensure that no archive, no cache, no record of any kind exists. The campaign wants to be able to deny any of it but folks like Pam Geller, Charles Johnson and Fausta have screen shots of the site.
I wonder if the MSM will be reporting on this mess. I wonder if anyone will ask Obama about the attempts at covering this up. I wonder if anyone will ask how it got posted in the first place and why some of the material has been up since at least March of this year.
Don’t hold your breath. It will be up to people like those mentioned above.
I can’t wait to hear Obama tell us that his webmaster is “not the webmaster I knew.”
