The Beatles Foretold of Obama

Mar 28, 2008 Political

The Beatles (a famous musical group for those of you too young) had a song about the Tax Man. They could have been talking about the Democratic Party in general but they must have known that Barack Obama was going to appear in the future because everything in that song could apply to his plans for America. Barack Obama has already indicated that he would raise the cap on income subject to Social Security, an action that throws good money at a bad problem with addressing he root cause.

Now Obama is saying that he will raise the Capital Gains tax to no mre than 28% (nearly double what it is now). Of course Obama wants people to believe that this will only affect the rich because in the world of liberalism only rich people make enough money to have capital gains. However, about half the country owns stock and other items that would be subject to the higher tax so everyone who invests for the future will have that future attacked by Obama, the Tax Man. The rich, well they know how to shelter their money. Warren Buffet, a man Obama claims to have discussed his tax ideas with, shelters his money. John Kerry’s wife earned 2.54 million dollars in non taxable interest by investing in things she did not have to pay taxes on. The rich know how to avoid taxes. The rest of us will end up paying the 28% to fuel the government but once again, Obama misses the boat because higher taxes stifle investment and they do not address the root cause of the problem.

The real problem is out of control spending. The federal government spends more than it takes in and it continually invents new ways to spend more and more. Little is ever cut and lawmakers fight tooth and nail to keep pork projects and earmarks which waste taxpayer money. This country does not pay too little in taxes, we spend too much. Social programs account for around 70% of the budget. Congress never cuts programs or consolidates, it just makes new programs and adds money to failing ones. Couple this with earmarks and spending spirals (not like Hillary’s airplane) out of control.

Obama wants to add to the tax burden of the people in this country. There is no need for this and it is regressive. An increase in the capital gains tax will stifle investment and add to our economic woes. Increasing taxes on wealthy will lead to creation of fewer jobs. Obama claims to be for change and he claims to be progressive with new and progressive ideas but his ideas are the same old worn out, tried and failed liberal tax and spend programs that keep people enslaved to the government.

The Beatles described Obama and liberals quite well:

One, two, three, four…
Hrmm!
One, two, (one, two, three, four!)

Let me tell you how it will be;
There’s one for you, nineteen for me.
‘Cause I’m the taxman,
Yeah, I’m the taxman.

Should five per cent appear too small,
Be thankful I don’t take it all.
‘Cause I’m the taxman,
Yeah, I’m the taxman.

(if you drive a car, car;) - I’ll tax the street;
(if you try to sit, sit;) - I’ll tax your seat;
(if you get too cold, cold;) - I’ll tax the heat;
(if you take a walk, walk;) - I’ll tax your feet.

Taxman!

‘Cause I’m the taxman,
Yeah, I’m the taxman.

Don’t ask me what I want it for, (ah-ah, mister Wilson)
If you don’t want to pay some more. (ah-ah, mister heath)
‘Cause I’m the taxman,
Yeah, I’m the taxman.

Now my advice for those who die, (taxman)
Declare the pennies on your eyes. (taxman)
‘Cause I’m the taxman,
Yeah, I’m the taxman.

And you’re working for no one but me.

Taxman!

How Hillary Will Win

Mar 27, 2008 Satire

It has already started The Clinton is now working to ensure that Hillary will win the nomination by ensuring that the Super Delegates go for her. Those who refuse will meet some unfortunate fate and not be able to cast a vote. Obama Super Delegates will evaporate because they will succumb to the mighty Clinton machine.

It has started already:

Puerto Rican Gov. Anibal Acevedo Vila (D), who is a superdelegate supporting Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) for president, was indicted on 19 counts Thursday stemming from financial dealings in three political campaigns. The Hill

This is just the first of many players. Her team made an example out of the Puerto Rican Governor as a warning to others. The buzz will be loud; Don’t mess with the Clintonistas…

Of course, Governor Spitzer was a Hillary Super Delegate and he went down (pun intended) in flames. Well, the Obama camp does have a bunch of former Clintonites working in it.

Beware the reaper.

Bill Richardson’s Gutter Talk

Mar 24, 2008 Political

Governor Bill Richardson endorsed Barack Obama last Friday in a move that was only surprising to the Clinton campaign. I suspect that Richardson waited until he was pretty certain that one or the other would at least get the pledged delegate win (Obama cannot lose that) and then endorse in hopes of securing a spot in that person’s administration, should that person win. It happens that Obama is in the lead so Richardson screwed his old pals the Clintons and joined in the Obamamania. James Carville likened Richardson to Judas by stating that the anniversary of Judas selling out Jesus for 30 pieces of silver was here and that it was appropriate that Richardson sold out the Clintons at this time (as if they are anything like Jesus).

When asked about the comment Bill Richardson said that he was not going to get into that kind of rhetoric:

“I’m not going to get in the gutter like that,” Richardson said of the comments from informal Clinton adviser James Carville. “And you know, that’s typical of many of the people around Senator Clinton. They think they have a sense of entitlement to the presidency.” Breitbart

It is interesting that Richardson would bite the hand that fed him for so long but what is more interesting is that he would fail to see that the Clinton and Obama campaigns are really not that different. They have both had people leave for saying the wrong thing and there has been mud thrown from both sides. I guess Richardson was not aware that an Obama adviser likened Bill Clinton to Senator Joe McCarthy. That is no more or less worse than being compared to Judas but it is mud slinging that does not seem to stoop the the level of gutter that Richardson equates to the Clinton campaign.

I do not disagree with Richardson that the Clinton campaign has a sense of entitlement. However, there is the same sense in the Obama campaign and among his supporters. There are those who believe that he is entitled because he is a black man and it is time for a black man to be president. There are those who are voting for him based solely upon the fact that he is black. So there is a sense of entitlement in the Obama camp as well. Richardson has ignored it because he is now in the Obama corner so he appears stupid when making such statements. If Richardson had endorsed Clinton we would see the same thing from the other side.

I am not surprised that an opportunist like Richardson jumped on the Obama bandwagon. He is looking for another job in government and figures Obama will win and give him one. I am also not surprised because Richardson is a big supporter of ILLEGALS and wants to allow them to flood in and take over and ruin America. He fits in well with a guy like Obama who attends the Trinity Madrassa with all its anti American, anti white, hate speech.

Richardson had better hope that the Super Delegates do not override the pledged delegates and pick Hillary because he will not get anything in a Clinton administration. Richardson will also be lucky to survive until the convention given the history of those who cross the Clintonista crime family.

Why Insult McCarthy by Comparing to Clinton?

Mar 22, 2008 Political

Recently, Bill Clinton made a statement that has garnered the attention of the Obama campaign (I know that is hard to believe) and a retired Air Force general is likening the statement to something Joe McCarthy would have said. Clinton said this about a match up between Hillary and John McCain:

“I think it would be a great thing if we had an election year where you had two people who loved this country and were devoted to the interest of this country,” said Clinton, who was speaking to a group of veterans Friday in Charlotte, N.C. “And people could actually ask themselves who is right on these issues, instead of all this other stuff that always seems to intrude itself on our politics.”

I think one could actually argue as to whether Hillary (or Bill for that matter) actually love this country. They love the opportunities they have been afforded but they are always trying to move it toward Socialism and they put their political aspirations above country, party, or anything else. However, why does this general feel the need to insult Senator McCarthy? McCarthy was absolutely correct when he said that Communists had infiltrated our government. He might have seen more people as Communists than actually were but he was correct. There were Communists in Hollywood and there were Communists working for our government. They used the same tactics that Muslims use, deny, counter, and accuse in order to turn the anger toward the original accuser. They managed to get to McCarthy and he died young but he was absolutely right.

The Obama campaign is slinging some dirt in order to deflect the uproar created by Senator Obama’s participation in the whitey bash fest known as Trinity Church headlined by Pastor Jeremiah was a racist Wright. General Merrill McPeak stated that he grew up when McCarthy was accusing good Americans of being Communists. I wonder if the General realizes that there were Communists and while there might have been some false accusations, there were a lot of true ones. In any event General, why insult McCarthy for Clinton’s pattern of speech? McPeak tells us that Bill Clinton’s phraseology is designed to make people think Obama is not a patriot or does not love his country.

I have no doubt that the General is correct in this but this is a Bill Clinton trademark. The General worked for Clinton and should recognize it as such. Instead, he equates it to Senator McCarthy in effort to make it appear as if Obama has been a victim of a McCarthy like attack. Come on General, this is Bill Clinton, the same guy who argued what the meaning of “is” is. This is the Bill Clinton who did not have sexual relations with that woman when he really had sexual relations with that woman except as defined by him and his lawyers. This is the same Bill Clinton whose administration had the most investigations and scandals in the history of the presidency. Why not say that his phraseology was Clintonesque? Why insult Joe McCarthy by associating him with Bill Clinton?

I certainly believe that Bill Clinton meant to imply that Obama does not love this country. I happen to believe that Obama does not love this country because it has too many white people in it and he would love it more if we whites would move on out and give it up to the brothers in accordance with the Gospel according to Wright. However, I don’t believe the Clintons have a great love for the country other than what they can get from it. Bill protested us from a foreign land and Hillary hates the military. So they are all equally guilty of hating this country, as far as I am concerned.

Regardless, how about these campaigns stick to fighting with each other and quit sullying the good names of long dead Senators?

The Conspiracy: Obama Accessed Passport Files?

Mar 21, 2008 Political

There was a bit of initial uproar when it was learned that Barack Obama’s passport data had been accessed with his campaign accusing the Bush administration of invading the privacy of Mr. Obama. It was typical Democratic bluster with the typical response of blaming Bush first and the reaction allowed the campaign to focus on something other than Obama’s racist pastor and Obama’s racist remarks. It was looking like Obama could make some hay with this one until it was announced that the passport files of John McCain and Hillary Clinton had been accessed as well. A little passage in a Washington Times story has led me to believe that Mr. Obama is responsible for the breaches.

The State Department last night said one of the persons responsible for the inappropriate behavior was employed by an information technology firm headed by one of Mr. Obama’s foreign intelligence advisors. [emphasis mine]

Here is how I see it happened; Senator Obama had the employee of one of his advisers, who just happens to work at the State Department, look at Hillary Clinton’s and John McCain’s passport information in an effort to get political ammunition on both of them. The peek would also allow access to their Social Security numbers which can be used to find a great deal of information. The credit reports of these two would provide a wealth (no pun intended) of information (ask Chuck Schumer about credit reports). Sometime after the illegal access someone in the campaign becomes worried that if the breaches are discovered and Obama is the only one that has not been accessed, suspicion will be cast upon him especially since the employee of an adviser works there. It is decided that his record will be accessed so if any of the records being illegally accessed, Obama will be in the clear.

Now that we know Obama had an inside person this makes perfect sense. If he beats Hillary (looking more likely every day) he will face McCain. He needed to dig up information on both of them and his team would have been working on that for some time now. It is even likely that he allowed the worker’s access of the records to be discovered so as to draw attention away from the racist remarks being thrown all over this past week. Allowing the discovery was a safe move because all of their records were accessed. The only problem is that the campaign’s attack on the Bush administration fizzled out quickly when it was shown that all of the candidate’s records had been accessed. Obama took that as acceptable because he is not running against Bush and he needs things to change direction.

This is the only thing that makes sense. Why would all of their records be accessed? Who would stand to benefit from this given that all three had their information looked at? While any one of them would benefit, Obama was the only one with an inside connection to the records.

I believe Barack Obama must have been involved in the illegal access of passport information. Certainly this idea makes more sense than the Bush administration being the culprits, now that we know John McCain had his records looked at. Since the Obama campaign was so quick to make the Bush connection I will be quick to make the Obama connection, especially since he had a mole on the inside, his was the first “discovered” and disclosed and the disclosure came after a reporter inquiry.

Wouldn’t it be something if this turned out to be the case?

However, it is more likely that some curious employees looked up information on the people running for president and that they did it of their own accord. But since Obama’s people fired the first salvo and blamed the administration, I will shoot back with my take that Obama is involved.
