Those Environmentally Friendly Liberals
Apr 8, 2011 Political
There is a Facebook Event posting indicating that if the government shuts down and there is no trash service that people should dump their trash on Speaker Boehner’s lawn. Now that is just classy but so typical of liberals.
This is no grassroots item from people who are fed up with government. It is being organized by people who have connections to the DNC:
Goodman is listed in the Democratic National Committee network. Treadway is the political and logistics director for the liberal group Netroots Nation. CNN
This is not some way of saying that they are disgusted with the whole process. It is a concentrated effort to place blame for the shutdown (if it occurs) on the Republicans. If it were a protest over the whole issue then these folks would also be throwing their trash on Harry Reid’s and Nancy Pelosi’s lawn. They might even consider throwing it on the White House lawn.
If they actually wanted to hold those who are to blame responsible then the issue would be with the Democrats. They had majorities in both chambers of Congress and FAILED to pass a budget. They decided to ignore the issue because of the election and then did not take it up after they got their heads handed to them in November. I am sure they decided to put the onus on Republicans but make no mistake, the Democrats failed to fulfill their Constitutional duty and pass a budget.
The event indicates that even if there is no shutdown they will continue with plans to dump their trash. Further proof that this is not about being upset over the process and more about partisan posturing.
Can you imagine the names that people like Chrissie Matthews would be calling Tea Party members if they organized something like this against Democrats?
Also, how environmentally friendly are these liberals? We already know they care little about Mother Nature from seeing how they leave the places where they protest.
I wonder if the police will be around to arrest these people for illegal dumping…
Cave Canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

Funny How Obama’s Tune Changed
Apr 7, 2011 Political
Barack Obama took office as a wet behind the ears rookie with so little experience and so many words that calling him an empty suit was an insult to empty suits. He showed up with his bird chest pumped out ready to take on the world. He had majorities in both chambers of Congress and things were going to be his way. He thought so because he believed the hype about himself. It is a good thing (for him) that he did not try to walk on water.
Believing and doing are two different things.
After taking office Obama was challenged by a Republican on the contents of a package and Obama’s response as to why it would be a certain way; “I won.” To interpret that for you, Obama said it is my way or the highway.
After two years of driving us over the cliff and advancing toward Socialism the American public had enough of this upstart and his sock puppets in Congress and they sent him a very clear message. Obama and his Democrats lost a lot of seats in a historical midterm election that changed the balance of power. Now that Obama does not have majorities all over government, majorities that blamed its failures on Republicans, he has a slightly different tune. In a speech today he told the audience that Republicans cannot have it their way and that this is not how it works.
“At a time when you are struggling to pay your bills and meet your responsibilities, the least we can do to meet our responsibilities is produce a budget. That is not too much to ask for. That is what the American people expect of us, that’s what they deserve. You want everybody to act like adults, quit playing games and realize it is not my way or the highway,” President Obama said in Pennsylvania before he is set to hold a fundraiser tonight. Real Clear Politics
Perhaps an appropriate GOP response to Mr. Obama would be; “we won.”
You see, this is how Democrats work. When they are in charge then things have to go their way and they do not care about anyone or anything. The last Congress made that clear when it passed Obamacare, the unconstitutional law, over the wishes of the majority of Americans. They wanted it and they did not want to hear any other opinion. To them, it was their way or the highway. Democrats went against the will of the people while ignoring the jobs situation and suffering a net job loss over that period of time.
As soon as Democrats lose though, they want to talk about bipartisan compromise and working together. They start whining like a room full of Chuck Schumers about how the other side is not playing nice, blah, blah. They did not want to play nice when they had control and they said, on a number of occasions, we won and it is our way or the highway.
Now they have to eat humble pie and suck it up because, to be quite frank, we won and it is our way or the highway.
America is on a path to financial ruin which has been a long time coming but has been accelerated by a man who has spent more money in two years than all the presidents from Washington to Reagan combined!
[I stated this incorrectly. It should read:
In the first 19 months of the Obama administration, the federal debt held by the public increased by $2.5260 trillion, which is more than the cumulative total of the national debt held by the public that was amassed by all U.S. presidents from George Washington through Ronald Reagan. CNS
I regret the error]
Now the adults are in charge because THEY WON and it is time for the Democrats to step aside and let them get down to the business of bringing fiscal sanity back to our country.
It is also important to remember, particularly as all the Democrats are out screaming about a government shut down and troops not getting paid, that the Democrats are entirely responsible for this. They had the majorities when the 2011 budget was due and they punted the ball. They refused to pass a budget because they were afraid to do anything prior to the election. If they had done their duty and passed a budget we would not be having this discussion right now and the Congress could be working on other important things.
To the victor goes the spoils and while Obama does not espouse that attitude now he certainly did back when he was still messianic.
Fortunately, he does not get to dictate how the game is played. It works how we want it to work because:
WE WON
Cave Canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

Democrat’s Strategy; LIE!
Mar 30, 2011 Political
The Democrats are in full court press mode as the budget battle heads toward the next round of attempting to get a budget in order. Chuck Schumer, the whiny liberal Senator, was caught on a conference call instructing fellow Democrats to use the word extreme while describing the Republican’s cuts and to tell the press that was supposed to join the call that Republicans were refusing to negotiate. The problem is that the reporters were already on the line and heard Schumer instructing his colleagues to lie about what is going on.
Evidently, the Democrats had a liberal focus group and when they said Republican’s budget cuts are extreme the wimpy liberals wet their pink panties so Democrats are now using that term. Harry Reid used it as well during the day because that is the new plan.
The Democrat who takes the cake is the moron from Maryland, Steny Hoyer. Hoyer, who calls the Tea Party Caucus the perfectionist caucus, said that Democrats will not be to blame if the government shuts down (which it never really does) and he made the amazing claim that this would not be a problem if Democrats were in charge:
“It’s self-evident we don’t control Washington, or we wouldn’t be having this problem,” Hoyer said, arguing that Democrats would not be to blame if the government shuts down. FOX News
This is amazing because the reason we have the problem is that Democrats WERE in charge. Yes Mr. Hoyer, the problem we are now facing over not having a budget is because you and your fellow Democrats failed to exercise your Constitutional duties and pass a budget last year. You were too cowardly to pass a budget prior to the election and this is why we have a problem.
If you had done your job then we would have a budget in place and would not be wasting time trying to get one passed nearly a half year after it was due.
In other words Steny, you are full of crap. We certainly would have this problem if you were in charge because that is why we have the problem.
It is amazing to me that this moron would make such an obviously stupid (and false) statement but then again Democrats are full of people who make stupid and false statements.
You did not do you job Mr. Hoyer and that is one of the reasons you and your party took a first class beating in the last election.
As for calling the Tea Party Caucus the perfectionist caucus, perhaps if we had more people trying to achieve perfection and fewer trying to rape the taxpaying public we would not be in such bad shape.
I would rather be part of the perfectionist party than be part of the dumb ass party and that sir, is where you reside.
Time is running out and if the government shuts down it will be the sole responsibility of the Democrats for failing to pass a budget when they were suposed to.
Cave Canem!
Never surrender,never submit.

We Need Budget Cuts NOW
Mar 7, 2011 Political
The federal government is out of its mind. It is spending like a drunken sailor except a drunken sailor stops spending when he runs out of money. The government just keeps borrowing and racking up more in the way of a deficit. In the month of February the federal government spent $223 BILLION dollars more than it had come in for the month. That’s right, the federal government had a bigger deficit for February than it had for the ENTIRE year of 2007.
The second biggest deficit for a month was last February and that too was on Obama’s watch.
We are working without a budget because the Democrats failed to pass one and their previous spending is entangled in everything. They have added funding to Obamacare (is that a derogatory term, well screw them), they spent nearly a trillion dollars in stimulus for which we have little to show and they continue to allow the bills to pile up.
Not to worry though. That intellectual powerhouse Michael Moore says we have plenty of money and that America is not broke.
For those of us on this planet and living in reality (as opposed to being the size of a planet and suffering from dementia like Moore) the truth is we don’t have any money. We owe more than we take in and we have a mountain of debt that equals our entire year’s GDP.
Obama has spent faster and more than nearly all the presidents in history combined and now, as his beloved pastor might say, the chickens have come home to roost.
We need to take an axe to the federal budget. We need to eliminate all duplicate programs and redundancy and we need to cut the budgets of all federal agencies. We can cut the waste first and work on the agency budgets next.
This MUST be done. Moore and the Democrats might think we have money but we do not.
The adults are in charge now and the credit card needs to be cut up. We need cuts and we need them now.
If Democrats don’t get on board then we need to cut them as well.
Cave Canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

Obama Budget Is More Of The Same
Feb 15, 2011 Political
One thing that is constant about progressives is that they love to spend, spend, spend and they also like to tax, tax, tax. Barack Obama released his budget and it is more of the same. The spending amounts to about 2 TRILLION dollars and is over 102% of GDP. The deficit for this year is expected to 1.645 TRILLION dollars which would break last year’s record by quite a bit.
The budget does not address the social programs that cost us the most as there is no mention of Social Security or Medicare reform. The budget allegedly has cuts but since Obama raised the budgets of federal departments in the last two years, how much will really be cut? One thing is certain, the budget involves lots of tax increases.
The economy is still in the tank and inflation is creeping in as gas and clothing prices rise along with the cost of food. People are getting less for the same amount of money because of the inflation producing policies of the Obama regime.
We need to reduce federal spending by cutting the budgets of all departments (especially all those booze purchases) and we need to reform the social welfare programs.
These are tough times and tough decisions will have to be taken but the cold hard truth is that we have NO money.
And we can’t continue spending what we do not have. Though the government has been doing so for quite some time we can no longer follow the model that got us into this mess.
“We can’t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.” [attributed to Albert Einstein]
