Obama and Friends Put the Screws to America
The media hasn't yet installed their heartthrob in the White House, and already Obama is going into our wallets with both hands to finance his moonbattery:
The U.S. Senate soon could debate whether you, your spouse and each of your children — as well as your in-laws, parents, grandparents, neighbors and everyone else in America — each will spend $2,500 or more to reduce poverty around the world.
The plan sponsored by Sen. Barack Obama, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, is estimated to cost the U.S. some $845 billion over the coming few years in an effort to raise the standard of living around the globe.
Needless to say, poverty will be reduced on a very temporary basis, if at all. World poverty won't be cured with free handouts from American taxpayers, but only by replacing socialism and corruption with functioning capitalist systems like the one Obama and his supporters are setting out to destroy.
Meanwhile, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid doesn't see a problem with $5/gallon gas. Therefore there's no need to lighten up on domestic drilling restrictions. It's so nice to have powerful Democrats looking out for the average American in these tough economic times.
Here's Glenn Beck laying into Obama's $mega-zillion global giveaway:

Do any of these moronic liberal legislature monarchs ever listen to what the majority of Americans want??? I know, dumb question. We really need to research voting records for the last 4 years in the Congressional Record, Rate performance of all of the Senators and Representitives and then "Clean House"!!!!

The problem is, replace them with what? The job and the environment are such that decent, honest people don't want the job, and wouldn't survive in it if they did. That leaves us with the bottom-feeders, the self-promoters, the power-hungry, and the corrupt. And this goes for both parties. Every now and then you will get a Rep/Senator/whatever that is a decent guy and sincerely tries to do the right thing. Even more rarely, he succeeds. The culture of Washington, and any State house, are such that it takes more than one or two to really make a difference. It is exactly this problem that ensures that I will never run for political office, however much good and "common sense" I think I could bring to the table - unless there are at least 100 others like me, I'm just wasting my time.

Do it like the French.
The French are about 100 Trillion in arrears to just about every country and cause on the planet. They pledge significant amounts for things like earthquake disasters, etc. and then renig on their offer. We should follow suit. Remember, in Liberal Land it's always about your intentions and feelings, not about actual performance.

Memo to Uh-Uh-Bam-Uh: you need to fix the hole in the bucket first. Carrying water with a sieve is a fool's errand.

Actually, a serious suggestion: put a check box on income tax forms, much like that for Presidential campaign finance.

Isn't the federal deficit in 2009 projected to be 482 billion dollars? So if BHO becomes president, he plans donating nearly double our national deficit to people who don't like us.
For that much money, i'll hate me too.

OT – Lighter side of hypocritical MoonBats!
What ever happened to ‘Gay Pride’ and wanting equal acceptance. I guess when you can make money, you change your tune for a couple of minutes (act offended). They obviously did not mind the settlement and now being the cause-de-jour couple for a few minutes of fame. There is a double standard here somewhere.

OBAMA LIX: MODERN ICARUSPublished in July 28th, 2008 | EditPosted by Berlet98 in OBAMANo CommentsIn Greek mythology, Icarus was a typical kid, the kid who is full of spit and vinegar, an indelicate way of saying full of himself, invincible, and cocky.
Exiled to Crete with Daedalus, his father, the skilled artist Daedalus fashioned a set of wings for himself and his son so that they could fly away home. Daedalus firmly cautioned Icarus not to fly too high or get too close to the sun because the handy dandy wings he had created had a manufacturer’s defect: They were made of wax and would melt.
Sure enough, young Icarus felt exhilarated with his ability to fly and soared higher and higher, and closer and closer to the blazing sun, ignoring Daedalus’ warning until, you guessed it, his wax wings began to melt. He began to flap his arms frantically to no avail and ultimately plunged to his death in what is now aptly called the Icarian Sea.
Those ancient Greeks were an imaginative people; some were also very wise people. The story of Icarus was meant to be an admonition to all to be careful of getting carried away with yourself, to be mindful of humility and of your humanity, and to watch out for waxen wings.
The Bible includes a comparable caution. Proverbs 16: 18 warns that, “Pride goeth before a fall,” also translated as, “Pride goeth before destruction, and a haughty sprit before a fall.” In contemporary English we might just say, “Watch your butt if your head gets too big.”
Should the Secret Service or FBI read this, I would certainly not want it interpreted as a threat against anyone, anymore than the Icarus tale or the Biblical words were meant as a threat against any individual. They were simply intended as words to live by, as is this.
Obviously, however, I do have someone in mind who fits the Icarus profile. We now have a candidate...

OT – and for yet another ‘snort’ laugh at how easily our Gay population is offended……..
Note that they did not mind the other commercial mentioned in the article, showing two men kissing….

Overthrow all the tin-horn socialist governments, replace them with American-based systems, give capitalism a leg up and you have solved "poverty" around the globe.
Give them money and you only prop up endless dependency (of the people) and corrupt governments who (most likely) will take the aid money before it even GETS to the people.
There are your choices.

Yes, I will work to end poverty around the world: Fire the warlords and corrupt regimes that steal money from foreign aid programs by not giving them one damn dime and letting their people wonder why they are hungry.
Oh yeah. I will NOT vote for Senator Obama.

Believe Chuck in St. Paul has it right and "anon" assessed the situation accurately too.
Look "NWO" Bush approved this insanity as well (the video points this out too). Let's face it. We're too fat, soft and complacent to start a revolution and frankly, that's what it's going to take to kill this bureaucracy and hit the restart button. I'm ready for a revolution but hey, a 120 lb woman with one pistol won't inspire the troops.

Why is the 110th Congressional leadership so intent on reenacting Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugs? As I recall, it ended as well for the liberals in the story as Jaws did for the shark.

A little more background discussion on the Obama economics mentality. Good article.

fellowes...
Ever heard of this French girl named Joan of Arc? You'd be surprised what a woman can inspire when she stands up for what is right...(even a French one).
And on an off-topic post... I'd like to DELUGE the Snickers people with protest letters about their sucking-up to the gay lobby.
Sorry about being brain-dead on links tonight... anyone wanna help me out?
http://www.snickers.com/contact.asp
Here's what I sent them....
I'm really pissed off by your decision to pull Mr. T's ad in the UK, just because some whiney-asses from the gay lobby here in the states made TWO complaints. Are you anti-heterosexual? Clearly, there's room for a lawsuit... or at the very least, letting EVERYONE I KNOW that they should never buy another product from a company that'll cave in so swiftly and completely. I used to like Snickers. Oh, but that was back in the day when it had nuts in it.
p.s. Your website is terrible.... when visitors have to turn down the volume so that the "FEAST!!!!!" audio doesn't start a migraine.... I mean, really, what idiot in a suit okayed this?
