You Uninformed People Are The Problem

Sep 26, 2010 Political

John Kerry says the Democrats have problems because the voting public is uninformed. This is the elitist Kerry who told college students if they did not study hard and do well they would end up in Iraq (which ignores the large number of military personnel with college degrees). Seems that all the troubles in the world, from Kerry’s viewpoint, are because of the not so smart among us. You are obviously not too bright if you are uninformed and angry at Democrats.

I imagine that Kerry did not consider that many more people than ever are actually informed about what is going on and THAT is why they are angry. People know that the Democrats have not been listening to them. People know that Democrats ignored the will of the public, those they represent, and did what they wanted.

In fact, the anger is there because of uninformed politicians like John Kerry.

He would never believe it because he thinks that people just live in slogans and soundbites and have no depth of knowledge.

“We have an electorate that doesn’t always pay that much attention to what’s going on so people are influenced by a simple slogan rather than the facts or the truth or what’s happening,” Kerry told reporters after touring the Boston Medical Center yesterday. Boston Herald

Oh Johnny boy, people are paying quite a bit of attention and that is why you and your Democrats will get their rear ends handed to them in November. And let me say Johnny, that if people are this angry and they have not been paying attention then you had better hope they never start or things will get really ugly.

We see what is going on, we see how you have ignored us, we see the false claims of racism and the other personal attacks on us and we see that you are not doing what we want you to.

We will also see your rears walking out the door next January.

But I will agree with you John on a little of what you say but I have to reword it. The only reason Democrats have control and Barack Obama won is because people did not pay attention. People were too wrapped up in this messianic BS and hype to see what was going on. The post election questions show that. In fact, the only thing most people paid any attention to was his color. They had to vote for the black man to either show racial solidarity or to alleviate some perceived white guilt.

And yes John, people who are influenced by a simple slogan are morons who need to have their voting rights taken away.

HOPE CHANGE HOPE CHANGE HOPE CHANGE HOPE CHANGE HOPE CHANGE

I think you get the point.

Nothing wrong with a slogan John as long as you are intelligent enough to learn the issues. When your voters are living off the government and can’t articulate any position you hold then you are dealing with the uninformed with which you have a problem.

We call then Democrat voters who, by the way, are as uninformed as the Democrat politicians who pander to them.

Cave Canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

Reid To Add Immigration To Defense Bill

Sep 16, 2010 Political

The Democrats keep touting immigration reform as if we need to reform our system. The only reform we need is to enforce the laws. If we did that there would be fewer problems but the Democrats do not want this because it would strip them of voters. Immigration reform is Democrat speak for voter registration drive.

The problem is that they have been running into a lot of resistance because a huge majority of Americans do not want any kind of reform that includes amnesty and that is all the Democrats push. No matter how they veil it, no matter what they call it, it is amnesty. The Democrats and Republicans found out that Americans do not want this mess when they tried to get an amnesty bill passed a few years ago.

So it is a tough issue and they do not have the votes. What does Harry Reid do? He adds an immigration reform measure to the Defense Bill. That Bill is already a contentious issue because it contains language repealing don’t ask, don’t tell which would allow homosexuals to serve openly in the military.

Reid called the DREAM Act “really important” and said it should be passed because it provides a path to citizenship for young illegal immigrants who go to college or serve in the military. DREAM is an acronym for Development, Relief and Education of Alien Minors Act. CNN

If this legislation is so important then it needs to be introduced, debated and voted upon. If they pass it then so be it but if they do not then so be it as well. The important part of the issue is that it should not be part of the Defense Bill. This legislation has nothing to do with Defense and Reid adding it is nothing more than an attempt to slip it in and get it passed without the struggle it would certainly be.

This is Harry Reid telling you that he knows better than you and that your wishes and the wishes of a majority of this nation mean nothing because he knows better than they.

I also do not think the don’t ask, don’t tell issue should be attached to the Defense Bill. It should be debated separately so that it does not tie up the Bill. This is another contentious issue and the Democrats have added it so they can get it slipped in and then pander to homosexuals prior to the election. But maybe it is in there because Harry Reid takes his marching orders from Lady Gaga because she speaks and he jumps:

A spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said Tuesday a vote to repeal the military’s ban of openly gay and lesbian soldiers had been planned for next week before the singer made waves with a plea during a daytime talk show.

The pop star known for flashy performances and eccentric style called on Reid to repeal the military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy in an interview with Ellen DeGeneres that aired Monday. WBAL

It is an important issue and needs to be debated but it should be debated as a separate issue.

The Defense Bill is usually passed with bipartisan support. Adding these items will delay the bill unnecessarily. It is wrong and should not be tolerated.

Harry Reid is playing politics with the men and women who defend this country. The people of Nevada need to support the troops by throwing Harry Reid to the curb in November.

Cave Canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

Boycott Tyson Foods, It Is Anti American

Aug 3, 2008 General

Tyson Foods has decided that American traditions mean nothing so long as the company can appease the Muslims working for it. The union negotiated a new contract this year and in it they removed Labor Day as a paid holiday and replaced it with Eid-Al-Fitr, a Muslim Holy day that comes at the end of Ramadan. This year it will be on October First.

Here is an American company with 1200 employees, 700 of whom are Muslim. If you do the math you will see that 500 of them are not Muslim. The company removed a Federal Holiday as a paid day off and replaced it with a Muslim religious holiday. 500 workers got screwed so that 700 could be appeased.

This is the United States of America and not some crap hole Muslim Country. Labor day is an American holiday for the American laborer. Taking it away is wrong and there is no justification for this act of stupidity.

Every non Muslim employee at the Tyson plant should call out sick on Labor Day and let the Muzzies do all the work. In any event, I encourage everyone to avoid buying any Tyson product. Hit them hard financially and show them that they will pay for the insult to their non Muslim workers.

My friend Kender also advises that, if you own Tyson stock, you might want to sell it.

What next? Remove Christmas as a paid holiday and replace it with Mohammad’s (HWACM)* birthday? Then it will be open season…

This is just another example of how unions ruin this country.

Obama and Clinton Ignore Facts

Apr 12, 2008 Political

While making a point about the loss of jobs during a speech in San Francisco, Barack Obama not only insulted a bunch of small town people but he demonstrated elitism and his belief that people who believe the Constitution and who practice religion are out of touch. Obama was making his speech when he said:

“You go into some of these small towns in Pennsylvania, and like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing’s replaced them,” Obama said.

“And it’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.” al-Reuters

What Barry is saying here is that losing jobs is a problem and that people get upset by these problems. Nothing wrong so far but then he says that because there are problems people cling to guns or religion and become racists. This is no different than saying that people get upset and turn to alcohol and other drugs. To Obama, people only cling to religion or guns when there is badness in their lives as if it is a bad thing to cling to any of these things, especially religion. The only people I worry about clinging to religion are the Muslims and people who attend churches like the one Obama belongs to. Attending a racist and hate filled church for 20 years is a better definition of clinging.

In any event, there is nothing wrong in clinging to religion in good times and bad. There is nothing wrong with people wanting to own guns. I have to assume he meant owning guns and not clinging to guns for violence because he was talking about small towns. There are very few gun crimes in small towns. Most of the gun violence, if that is what he meant, is in the large, mostly black and Hispanic, cities. The small rural towns are mostly white and people don’t go around shooting each other and they have a strong religious conviction.

And yes, Obama was calling people racists when he described antipathy for those who are not like them. I can certainly see why people have anti immigrant (ILLEGAL immigrant) feelings and I can understand why they are suspicious of outsiders. There is nothing inherently wrong with these feelings. Obama has antipathy for those who do not look like him.

All Barry did was vocally express his actual feelings and how he envisions society. He wants to remove religion, guns and bring in more ILLEGALS.

As for Hillary, she laid into Obama for his elitist views. She discussed how important the Second Amendment is and that it conveys an individual right, something that conservatives have known since the thing was written. The problem is that Hillary vehemently opposes guns and she worked very hard in 1999 to get strict gun control laws passed. Hillary Clinton was getting ready to run for the Senate in New York where they like gun control (at least the most populous city does) so she was right with them. Pennsylvania has more gun owners and conceal carry permits than just about any other state (and none of them are running around shooting each other). It only follows suit that Hillary would have to pander to the beliefs of the people in PA even if her words were at odds with her feelings and past actions.

There is not a measurable bit of difference between these two. They are both big government Socialists who believe that the common person is unable to run his own life. They believe that people can only accomplish things when the government is involved.

I met a woman recently who is 60 years old. She told me that she used to pick through the dump for clothes for her family. Now she is a millionaire because of hard work and perseverance and none of it involved welfare or government intervention. People are most successful when they are unencumbered by government.

Hillary and Barry do not understand this. To them, we are a bunch of rubes who can’t breathe without their interventions.

In either case, Obama is pandering to those in San Fran at the expense of those in PA and Hillary was for gun control before she was against it. With either one we get Socialism and government intervention that will stifle growth. The last thing we need is for them to run our lives. I am pretty sure I can do a much better job of it.

I have so far…

Chelsea, Get A Real Job and Pay More Taxes

Feb 20, 2008 Political

Monica Lewinsky’s boyfriend’s wife said that hedge fund managers aren’t doing real work during a round table discussion. This must come as a shock to Chelsea Clinton who works for a hedge fund where I am sure she feels she works pretty hard. It is amazing that Hillary Clinton would tell people she has been a mother longer than a politician after the suggestion she was pimping out her daughter and then say her daughter does not do real work. This is another example of how Hillary will say and do anything, including pimping out and insulting her own daughter, to get elected.

Hillary was trying to pander for votes by telling people that Wall Street investment managers who make 50 million dollars on actually pay a smaller percentage of their income in taxes than do people who make 50 thousand a year. This is a patent lie. If we take a 50k income and assume married filing joint with 2 children and the taxes paid are about $3,073 or 6%. This assumes no itemized deductions.

A person who makes 10 million dollars¹ (one fifth the amount she cited in her remarks) with the same assumptions pays $3,466,874 or 34.67% in taxes. We can assume that the 50 million dollar earner will stay at the 35% range and pay significantly more in total dollars. Of course these folks might not get their income in dollars. They might get it in stock in which case there is no disposable income and they have to pay taxes on the dividends. Even with itemized deductions there is no way the millionaire pays less in percentage than the 50k a year worker. Given that the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) will probably kick in it is unlikely that the millionaire will have many itemized deductions.

Hillary told a lie because she knows there are many people who will believe this crap. It is classic class warfare and it is shameful. Additionally, Hillary Clinton is a millionaire and has refused to release her income tax reports. Is this because she has found a way to pay far less in taxes than most (percentage wise)? Is she citing herself as the proof of her claim? If Hillary is paying less in taxes than she thinks she should be why does she not send money to the treasury? As I pointed out before, they take donations.

Hillary is not the only Democrat to play this game and she will not be the last. They all talk about tax cuts for the rich as if there is such thing as tax cuts for the poor. The bottom 40% of wage earners pay absolutely no taxes so how could their taxes possibly be cut at all. The tax cuts affected all people who pay taxes and since the top 25% of wage earners pay 84% of the taxes in this country, they are going to be the ones who benefit from a tax cut (notice that even the bottom 50% of earners get a 0.5% benefit from tax cuts even though they pay less than 4% of the nation’s income taxes). It is very simple but the masses do not seem to understand this and politicians like Hillary are more than happy to exploit the ignorance.

How do tax cuts benefit those who pay no taxes? There is more income for those who do and they are the class that creates jobs. Additionally, those who pay no taxes benefit from government services used. These folks use a far greater amount of those services than they pay for (since they are not paying taxes) and the tax payers use far fewer of those services. Everyone is eligible for the same government benefits regardless of what they paid.

In reality though, the tax payers are not entitled to as much even though they pay more. Wealthy people who retire cannot draw Social Security because their retirement income is too high, however they still pay Social Security all their working lives. If Social Security were privatized a great number of the working class would actually retire with a decent amount of money and not have to rely on the government to survive. Of course, the government does not want this because they need to control people to retain power.

Liberals realize this and this is why they engage in class warfare. They like to pretend they are just like the rest of us but like most politicians from either party, they are wealthy. None of them understand how it is to actually work for a living and the feeling of living paycheck to paycheck. The real dirty little secret is that all these folks who want to tax the rich work real hard to pay as little as they can to the IRS.

Chelsea must really feel good knowing that her mother thinks she does not have a real job. Maybe the fact that mommy dearest sent her to Hawaii to campaign took a bit of the sting out of the slap but it had to hurt nonetheless.

It would be interesting to see how many hedge fund managers donated money to Hillary. It would be even more interesting if they asked for it back.
