HDR 181: Not In 2012, Obama – We All Have Headaches!

Take Two Aspirin and Vote Him Out in 2012!

ALOHA, ALL!    Michele Bachmann gets migraines.  Big Whoop.  She has also raised 5 kids and 23 foster kids.  But she gets migraines.  She has served in Congress, worked as a tax attorney, and owned a small business.  But she gets migraines.  The lamestream media made such a big deal out of Bachmann’s headaches and the fact that an “unnamed source” claimed she was incapacitated by them.  So I’m wondering:  have we ever seen Barack Obama’s full medical record?  (It’s a rhetorical question – we have not.)  We do know that he smokes….holy Marlboro Man!  Shouldn’t we be concerned about  that???  Give me a break – the sexist media machine is at work once again, showing their disdain toward strong, conservative women.  I STILL say the election of Barack 0bama showed that Americans are indeed post-racial (or even too willing to give a person the benefit of the doubt because he’s non-white.)  Of course, some might validly argue that 0bama has set race relations back 20 years.  But sexism still abounds.  So I couldn’t care less about Bachmann’s migraines – I’m more concerned about the guy in the White House who’s causing us all to have a big, fat headache on a daily basis!

0bama thinks he has all the answers. Narcissist-in-Chief Isn’t Happy: Would be Easier If I Could Do This Debt Thing by Executive Order and By-Pass Those SOBs Boehner and Cantor – Common American Journal  “I’m sympathetic to your view that this would be easier if I could do this entirely on my own. It would mean all these conversations I’ve had over the last three weeks, I could have been spending time with Malia and Sasha instead,” President Obama said at a town hall.  TIME WITH MALIA AND SASHA?????  Give me a break – you’d be out on the golf course!

Speaking of headaches.  I actually saw this on Fox News the other day – it’s great!  

Here’s a solution:  Warren Buffett, in a recent interview with CNBC, offers one of the best quotes I’ve heard in all this drama about the debt ceiling: “I could end the deficit in 5 minutes,” he told CNBC. “You just pass a law that says that anytime there is a deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible for re-election.” (Hat-tip to Marvin for that one!)

Is the Tea Party movement relevant?  Ask George Will:  Time Is on the Side of Tea Party Reforms – Common American Journal  ”Thanks largely to the tea party, today, more than at any time since Reagan’s arrival 30 years ago, Washington debate is conducted in conservatism’s vocabulary of government retrenchment. The debt-ceiling vote, an action-forcing mechanism of limited utility, has at least demonstrated that Obama is, strictly speaking, unbelievable.”

ICYMI – Here’s what Dirty Harry Reid had to say about Cut Cap and Balance on Friday:  “If they [Senate Republicans] want to debate it tomorrow for a period of time, they can do that, but I’m going to — I think this piece of legislation is about as weak and senseless as anything that has ever come on this Senate floor … The American people should understand that this is a bad piece of legislation. Perhaps some of the worst legislation in the history of this country.”  Meanwhile, here’s what he said in 2006 – HE THOUGHT IT WAS OUTRAGEOUS THAT WE MIGHT INCREASE THE DEBT LIMIT TO $9 TRILLION:    HEY HARRY – YOUR DUPLICITY IS SHOWING!!!!!!!

And what is the other hand doing?  End of the Line | FreedomWorks  ”Behind the scenes, while Washington and the United States focus on the debt crisis, President Obama’s EPA has been quietly implementing one of the most radical and costly policies of his administration. Ever since the failure of cap-and-trade, the administration has turned to the EPA to carry out its radical environmental agenda.”

Meanwhile, back in the Heartland.  Wisconsin Accounts For More Than Half of New Jobs in June and Kasich Touts Ohio’s Improvement in CNBC Business Survey  Well, well, well……how do you like them apples, 0bama and union thugs?????

Survey Says….Trust on Issues – Rasmussen Reports™  ”The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of Likely Voters shows that 45% trust Republicans more when it comes to handling economic issues, while 35% put more trust in Democrats.”

The growing concern over Kagan.  Letter_to_Judiciary_Committee_re_Kagan_Recusal.pdf  “Contradictory to her 2010 confirmation testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee, recently released Department of Justice (DOJ) documents indicate that Justice Kagan actively participated with her Obama Administration colleagues in formulating a defense of PPACA.”  PPACA = 0bamacare.  Kagan = 0bamacare lackey.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the people affected by the attacks in Norway.

Final Thought:  ”Government’s first duty is to protect the people, not run their lives.” Ronald Reagan

HDR 149: The Devils in Disguise

Image via Wikipedia

ALOHA, ALL!  Did you ever wonder how we really got in such a financial mess?  Sure….the past several years our politicians have been spending like drunken sailors (no offense to the sailors).  But how did we REALLY get here?  It all started in the 1960s and 1970s – when all those “freaks & hairies” were running amok.  We have that wonderful President, Lyndon Johnson, and his Great Society to thank – Johnson established Medicare & Medicaid in 1965. And Richard Nixon did his part, too.  He revised benefits for Social Security that have led to its instability.  So during the era of “Peace & Love,”  ”The Age of Aquarius,” and “Sex, Drugs and Rock ‘n Roll” our dear leaders made it so future generations would suffer the consequences of their ineptitude.  This will sober you up:  ”While the official debt ceiling is approximately $14 trillion, the total debt is actually in the range of $70 trillion. Fifty percent (50%) of voters recognize that the official figures understate the problem, and 64% think all liabilities should be included in the totals. The current system was set in place by Johnson in an effort to hide the cost of the Vietnam War and his Great Society programs.”  Groovy, man.   Just 23% Realize Deficit Largely Due to Commitments Made in 1960s and ‘70s – Rasmussen Reports™

And now, a message from alert HDR reader George – his take on 0bama’s $3.7 trillion budget for 2012.  Good stuff:

This is an effort to get a handle on large numbers. My tiny mind balks at the idea of stringing dollar bills together into space out to and through the sun. I know that they would burn to a crisp long before reaching the sun let alone passing through it.

We are blessed with one President, 100 Senators and 435 Congresspersons for a total of 536.

President Obama has proposed a $3.7 trillion 2012 budget.

That is quite a bit of money!

Instead of $3.7 trillion let us use $1 trillion for comparison. Can’t quite get my mind around $3.7 trillion.

To be FAIR lets give each of them an equal portion of the modest $1,000,000,000,000.00.

This divvies up to $1,865,671,641.79 each.

That is one billion, 865 million,671 thousand, six hundred forty one dollars and seventy nine cents.

In one dollar bills this would weigh about 3,964,552.24 pounds for each of them.

This is just for the purpose of demonstration (our leaders would never ever actually burn, waste yes, our money), we will install a boiler in each of their 536 offices. Each of them will be required to stoke their personal boiler (themselves, no office help, interns or volunteers) every day for 365 days. No congressional recess, holidays, vacations or days off. None. Three hundred sixty five days and/or nights with:

10,861.80 pounds of $1.00 bills which amounts to $5,111,429.16 each and every day.

Five million, one hundred eleven thousand, four hundred twenty nine dollars and 16 cents.

The song “16 Tons” was first sung by Merle Travis in 1946, but Tennessee Ernie Ford made it famous with his version of the song.  It’s about a legendary coal miner who loaded 16 tons on one exceptional day.  Here’s the Johnny Cash version:  

I’d like to see the Congressperson who could shovel 5.43 tons of money every day, forget 16. On the other hand they could probably shovel 16 tons of BS before lunch.

If we were to be generous and allow them their customary recesses, holidays, vacations and sick days, these assigned duties could be quite a challenge.

REMEMBER this is less than 1/3 of the proposed 3.7 trillion budget. To get a true picture of President Obama’s proposed 2012 budget, multiply each of these numbers by 3.7

I am unable to comprehend the degree of intelligence that has engineered us into our 14 trillion dollar debt. Must take a collective IQ in the hundreds.

Please send me a list of any of the 536 that you would really trust with that or any amount of your money.

I doubt that there are any who will ever fully understand any 1000 page bill. No problem. Nancy says, ” We need to pass it to find out what is in it”. I wonder if she understands these numbers?

Please feel free to check my math. Numbers this big make my head hurt and I do not see how they could possibly be correct.

Calculations are based on 1,000,000 bills weighing 2125 pounds. All new bills could be closer to 2200 pounds.

Bills are of equal weight regardless of value.

Each bill weighs about 1 gram.

Please feel free to pass this along to anyone you think will understand my mental gymnastics.

George  (Thanks, George – HDR readers are brilliant!!)

Never let a good crisis go to waste.  Looks like it works both ways:  Gas prices fueling spring of discontent with Obama? « Hot Air  Of course, Barry/Barack is taking it in stride:  “My poll numbers go up and down depending on the latest crisis, and right now gas prices are weighing heavily on people.”  And he is weighing heavily on me.  Here’s one reason….

ICYMI (In Case You Missed It):  Energy in America: EPA Rules Force Shell to Abandon Oil Drilling Plans – Common American Journal  ”Shell Oil Company has announced it must scrap efforts to drill for oil this summer in the Arctic Ocean off the northern coast of Alaska. The decision comes following a ruling by the EPA’s Environmental Appeals Board to withhold critical air permits. The move has angered some in Congress and triggered a flurry of legislation aimed at stripping the EPA of its oil drilling oversight.”  Check out the EPA buffoon in the video:  Jobs?  What are those?  We don’t need no freakin’ jobs!

A little bit of Tea Party history.  When The Tea Party Rose « Boogai.net     “The historical precedent for the TPM wasn’t the Tea Party event in Boston Harbor on December 16, 1773….The first organized opposition to a tyrannical government in the colonies came in 1764 in the form of the Committees of Correspondence.”  This is a great blog post I just read!  Check it out – you’ll learn a lot about today’s Tea Party roots.

HAVE YOU HEARD OF THE STICKY NOTE CAMPAIGN?  The Sticky Note Campaign hits Georgia Supermarkets « YourDaddy’s Politics  Keep a pad of sticky notes in your car, purse, pocket….leave a note wherever you see high prices, like gas pumps, supermarket shelves, etc:  ”How’s that hope & change working our for ya?  NOBAMA 2012!”  Here’s another good one:  ”OMG – Obama Must Go!” JUST DO IT…THIS WILL BE HUGE!

Michelle Antoinette must be LIVID!!  LOL!!!  No Obama invite to royal wedding?! | POLITICO 44  ”Other non-invites noted by Rush Limbaugh include Tony Blair and other Labour Party leaders — reason given by the Royal Family is “This is not an official state event and they are not Knights of the Garter anyway,” Limbaugh said. “I have not seen Clinton’s name on the list,” Limbaugh said. “The original Knight of the Garter.”  Frankly, I don’t really care about the Royal Wedding but I’ll watch it just to see what everyone’s wearing (can’t wait to see Camilla’s hat!)  And I think it’s hilarious that the 0bamessiah and his Queen were snubbed.  (thanks to Lee for the link.)

Final Thought:  ”If you voted for 0bama in 2008 to prove you’re not a racist, you’ll have to vote for someone else in 2012 to prove you’re not an idiot.”  (Thanks to Charlie for sending me this one!)

HDR 144: Paul Ryan Punk’d By Obama

0bama: "Im the Great Uniter - just ask me!" Biden: "Just start the speech already so I can take my nap."

ALOHA, ALL!!  Picture this:  you receive a special invitation, complete with a front-row seat, to hear the President speak.  You’ve been trying to work with the President on a very important issue so you assume, in good faith, that the invitation is his way of indicating that he’s ready to work with you.  You assume, in good faith, that he will lay out his plans to collaborate in this speech. Then he proceeds to lambast you.  That’s exactly what Barry/Barack did the other day when he presented his “Budget Plan 2.0″ (because the first one was so lousy.)  So there were Paul Ryan, Jeb Hensarling, and Dave Camp sitting in the front row – at 0bama’s invitation – while “The Great Bi-Partisan Uniter” launched into a rant filled with campaign rhetoric and slams at the GOP.  Republicans React to Obama’s Speech: ‘And I Missed Lunch for This?’ | CNSnews.com As Paul Ryan put it:  ”What we heard today was not fiscal leadership from our commander in chief. What we heard today was a political broadside from our campaigner in chief.”  Punk’d - so can you blame Paul Ryan if he doesn’t want to sit down with 0bama?  Barry then flew to Chicago to attend 3 fundraisers…for himself, of course.  2012 can’t get here soon enough.  More with video of even Lefty Joe Scarborough calling this a “stupid move”.  Mika (LOL!) disagrees:  MSNBC’s Mika: Obama Isn’t Cowardly Like Republicans Because He Called Paul Ryan’s Plan Un-American to His Face | The Blaze

So let’s show Lame Loretta Sanchez that we mean business by coming out in force today – and let’s get rid of her ilk on election day!

Speaking of lame.  You know the big union solidarity protests that took place last week?  What, you missed the big nationwide protests on April 10, the anniversary of MLK’s assassination?  Looks like lots of union people missed them too:  Nationwide Union Rallies a BIG Flop | THE UNION LABEL LOVE this excerpt about the monstrous rally in Honolulu, Hawaii:  With surfing conditions an abysmal one to two feet, several hundred “cheered and chanted.”  Several hundred?  LOL!  Talk about astroturf…..or should I say “astrosurf”  ;-)

Now THAT’S what I’m talkin’ about!!  GOP moves to eliminate Fannie, Freddie – Common American Journal “Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., and House Republican Conference Chairman Jeb Hensarling, R-Texas, introduced identical bills in the House and Senate that would end the government conservatorship of Fannie and Freddie within five years.”  Ah, McCain…..you could have beat 0bama if only you’d listened to your Mama Grizzly running mate!

HDR 142: John Boehner – Winner or Loser?

Reid: "But what about my cowboy poets?" Boehner: "Git along, little dogie."

ALOHA, ALL!! You wouldn’t believe the anger flowing on John Boehner’s Facebook page.  And it’s not from the left, it’s from supposed Tea Party folks!  They really wanted the government to shut down (and I agreed last week.)  But now that the dust has settled, it’s clear that Boehner accomplished some remarkable things in this whole budget broohaha.  Here are a few of those accomplishments, related specifically to 0bamacare (From Independent Women’s Voice ):

GUARANTEES SENATE VOTE ON REPEAL OF OBAMACARE. The agreement reached with Senate Democrats guarantees a Senate debate and vote on legislation that would repeal President Obama’s government takeover of health care in its entirety. The House passed such legislation in January as part of the Pledge to America.

NEW TOOLS IN THE FIGHT TO REPEAL OBAMACARE. The agreement will generate new tools for the fight to repeal Obamacare by requiring numerous studies that will force the Obama Administration to reveal the true impact of the law’s mandates, including a study of how individuals and families will see increased premiums as a result of certain Obamacare mandates; a full audit of all the waivers that the Obama Administration has given to firms and organizations – including unions – who can’t meet the new annual coverage limits; a full audit of what’s happening with the comparative effectiveness research funding that was in Obamacare and the president’s failed “stimulus” spending bill; and a report on all of the contractors who have been hired to implement the law and the costs to taxpayers of such contracts.

DENIES ADDITIONAL FUNDING TO THE IRS. The Obama administration has sought increased federal funding for the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) – money that could be used to hire additional agents to enforce the administration’s agenda on a variety of issues. This increased funding is denied in the agreement.

American Thinker adds more accomplishments, such as the fact that Boehner actually got $6.5 billion more in cuts than he originally asked for.  Read more here:  American Thinker Blog: The GOP did just fine

But my favorite analysis was written by Warner Todd Huston:  Budget Victory: All Right, Tea Partiers, Time to Stop Whining and Learn Politics « Publius Forum “You see, what will happen if you begin calling the GOP failures and traitors is that they won’t get scared into working harder. They will think that there is no satisfying you and they will begin to ignore you. Your strategy now should be to offer gentle praise for the GOP, claim this as the victory that it is and then remind your representatives that this is just the beginning and you expect more.”  Wise advice, fellow Tea Partiers.  Boehner?  DUH – winner!   Now let’s move on to the next battle – it’s gonna be a doozy.

Quiz:  Who said this? “We are absolutely outraged. This is the functional equivalent of bombing innocent civilians.  It’s time that the District of Columbia told the Congress to go straight to hell.” *

How about this one?  ”In ’94 people were elected simply to come here to kill the National Endowment for the Arts. Now they’re here to kill women.” **

One more:  “This is a Civil War fight. I think Time magazine has it right. This is the 150th anniversary of the 1861 Civil War.” ***

Ah yes…..the civility of the leftists!  Here’s a quote for them:  “This is what a REPUBLIC looks like!”

When the $65.898 billion in tax refunds is deducted from that, the Treasury paid a net of $1.0528 trillion in federal expenses for March.  That $1.0528 trillion in spending for March equaled 8.2 times the $128.179 in net federal tax revenue for the month.”  Like I said, blood will shoot out of your eyes (Thanks to Jim for the link.)

This is something that wasn’t known. This money was broken up, hidden in various parts of the bills. And we have worked very hard to discover $61 billion in cuts that we could put forward, get to the president. So, in effect, David, we’ve taken one step forward and two steps back because we’ve found now that $105 billion had already been implemented.”

Pump It Up. The Two Faces of the Obama Administration’s Energy Policy | SGP Action The administration may profess to feel your pain at the pump, but their current energy policies are doing nothing to help alleviate it. If the administration truly has concerns for the impact that gas prices are having on our already struggling economy, rising food prices, and job recovery, their actions are doing little to prove it. Which face of the administration should we believe on where this administration stands on high gas prices? You only have to think back a few years to candidate Obama’s words on the campaign trail that he “would have preferred a gradual adjustment” toward $4 per gallon gasoline, but otherwise he seems amenable to it .

New Study Shows That Offshore Drilling Could Make Alaska the Eighth Largest Oil Producer in the World – Ahead of Libya and Nigeria Sarah Palin has been after 0bama for two years….and she’s right!  Alaska could make us energy independent.  A report — by the consulting firm Northern Economics and the University of Alaska-Anchorage’s Institute of Social and Economic Research — says that developing Alaska’s OCS could produce almost 10 billion barrels of oil and 15 trillion cubic feet of natural gas, create around 55,000 new jobs and produce $145 billion in new payroll nationally, generating a total of $193 billion in government revenue through the year 2057.

New CBO Report Proves We Cannot Afford Obamacare | The Foundry: Conservative Policy News. Last week, the Congressional Budget Office released its report on H.R. 2, the House-passed legislation that would fully repeal Obamacare. The takeaway message was that American taxpayers simply cannot afford Obamacare.

The Obama Precedent – Tea Party Nation It seems 0bama may have set a precedent that could come back to bite him in the okole.  By directing the Attorney General to no longer defend DOMA, some interesting unintended consequences could occur.  To wit:  ”…how about in 2013, someone files an eligibility suit, claiming Obama was not a natural born citizen, seeking to undo everything Obama had done as President. Imagine a conservative President, with the courage to say, I do not believe the former President was a natural born citizen so I am ordering the Department of Justice not to defend the lawsuit. That would be a great day.”  We can only hope.

HDR 82(1): Stop, Children…What’s That Sound

Children - The Future!

ALOHA, ALL! Since I went to high school in the 60′s & college in the 70′s, I can’t help but go back to the music during that time.  It pops into my head at the strangest times!  Remember Buffalo Springfield?  (It’s OK – You can admit you’re the same vintage as me.)  Neil Young and Stephen Stills were young guys then and this was their breakout group.  Of course, the rest is history.  Buffalo Springfield’s biggest hit was a song called “For What It’s Worth.”  It was released in 1966 after Stills witnessed police actions against the crowds of young people who had gathered on the Sunset Strip to protest the closing of a nightclub called Pandora’s Box.  Ah, to be young and stupid in the 60′s.  But the song morphed into an anthem for all the protests that took place during the 60′s and 70′s.  With haunting lyrics like “there’s battle lines being drawn – nobody’s right when everybody’s wrong” and “paranoia strikes deep…into your life it will creep” it’s a perfect song for what’s happening today. Did you see or hear of any violence during the hundreds of Tea Parties last week?  No….yet people like Bill Clinton and others are trying to paint the movement as a bunch of hate-filled, racist mobsters. They are trying to create paranoia and draw battle lines.  Nice try – it’s not working!  Here in Honolulu there were people of all ages and all walks of life at our event.  I’m sure you experienced the same thing at Tea Parties in your cities.  Keep it up, progressives and lame-stream media – the more you paint everyday, hard-working, patriotic Americans as subversives and seditionists, the stronger we get.  After all, tea gets stronger the longer it’s in hot water

BTW…you can listen to Buffalo Springfield on your computer and tons of other artists at this site: LALA You have to take a few seconds and register, but it’s free.  And you can listen to any song one time for free.  I’m listening to Canned Heat right now – how fun is that?  ”I’m going up the country….”

If  A Tree Falls In The Forest. You know that old adage about a tree falling and no one being there to hear it? How about if two young Republicans get beat up in New Orleans and no one reports it?  That’s exactly what happened at the Southern Republican Leadership Conference earlier this month:  Republican Officials Attacked And Injured A key staffer for Governor Bobby Jindal and her boyfriend left a dinner event and were promptly beat up by protesters/thugs who were outside the restaurant:  Beaten Jindal Staffer So ask yourself a question:  Why haven’t you heard of this story? Never mind – see the first story above.  Why do I think if these young people had been Democrats & 0bama supporters this story would be headline news everywhere.  “There’s something happening here…what it is ain’t exactly clear…”

It’s The Constitution, Stupid! It’s interesting how the scheme is to paint the Tea Party movement as just an anti-tax movement.  0bama says we should all thank him because our taxes are the lowest they’ve been in 60 years.  I heard someone ask a Tea Party person if he thought taxes were a bad thing…after all, we have police, firemen, roads, etc.  They are missing the point:  the Tea Party movement is all about restoring the Constitution and the limited powers outlined by our Founding Fathers.  It’s  not just taxes….it’s abuse of power.  I suggest people who think it’s only about taxes check out the reason behind the original Tea Party in Boston.  And that they read this:  Tea Party Goal – Restore Limits of Constitution BTW, 0bama’s administration has already signed into law hundreds of  billions in new taxes via various programs.  Let’s see if they use that “thank me” approach next time.

To Whit….Check out the Contract From America unveiled at the DC Tea Party.  It’s a document that calls for individual liberty, limited government and economic freedom:  Contract From America

Just Plain Pathetic. Last fall, Babs “Don’t Call Me Ma’am” Boxer called the Tea Party folks “too well dressed to be authentic.”  Now she wants her supporters to be just like them – LOL!  The Boxer Rebellion:  Senator Begs Crowd To Get Excited Of course, the 0bamessiah campaigned for her the other day so she shouldn’t worry about getting re-elected.  After all, he’s gold! *Big Smirk*

An “Out-of-the-Box” Tax.  My friend Terri told me about a novel tax idea that would be more fair, cheaper and ultimately provide all the revenue we need.  It’s called the Automated Payment Transaction Tax (APT). Check it out – it eliminates tax forms and all that hassle!  No more IRS?  Uh oh…who would enforce mandatory healthcare?  What a shame….

What a Coincidence!  0bama is all set to march out his financial reform package and lo and behold….the SEC goes after Goldman Sachs for fraud.  Wow – isn’t it odd that the two things are happening at the same time????  Darrell Issa thinks so:  Rep Issa Asks SEC For Information But I’m sure this reform deal is for the good of we the people.  After all, Chris Dodd developed it: Obama Now Pushing Sneaky Wall Street Bailout But I sure wish they could explain why all the big Wall Street banks support this – do they know something we don’t know?  Then there’s this:  0bama’s Wall Street Bill Lets Crooks Escape And here’s a good analysis of the whole Goldman Sachs debacle:  The Fallacy of Fraud

Dirty Little Secrets. With all the broohaha over Goldman Sachs, do you think 0bama will give back the nearly $1 million they donated to his campaign?    This is an interesting chart:  Top Contributors to Barack Obama Some are comparing Barack 0bama and Goldman Sachs to George Bush and Enron.  But it’s much worse:  Is Goldman 0bama’s Enron? Gee….I wonder why the NY Times isn’t talking about how “broad and deep” the Obamessiah’s ties to Goldman are?    And how about Greg Craig, former 0bama White House counsel, now advising Goldman Sachs?  I thought 0bama said that anyone working for him would not be permitted to “influence your government colleagues” for 2 years after leaving his/her position?  Hannity’s America – Greg Craig obama lies yet again.  As Michelle Malkin said, “While President Obama assails the culture of greed and recklessness practiced by the men of Goldman Sachs, his administration is infested with them. The White House can no more disown Government Sachs than Da Boss-in-chief can disown Chicago politics.”

Barack Hussein Chavez.  Imagine the outcry if any other president and his minions (aka the Democrat congress) had tried to push through legislation that would give him the power to take over any financial institution he pleased….with no checks and balances.  that’s exactly what they are trying to do now: Obama’s Frightening New Attack on the Constitution

Speaking of Venezuela….did you know that Iran is sending its Qods shock troops there?  I know – what are those?  They are special Islamist troops deployed around the world to advance Iranian interests.  Qods troops are already well established in the Middle East and North Africa and are increasing their presence in latin America – mostly Venezuela.  Iran Boosts Shock Troops In Venezuela Meanwhile Bambi is in La-La Land regarding foreign policy, especially Iran.  Mark Steyn explains it perfectly:  Obama In Happy Fairyland

Dumb Like A Fox.  The latest on Lt Col Terry Lakin is that he has now been “flagged.”  As you recall, Lt Col Lakin is the Army physician who is refusing orders until 0bama provides proof of eligibility to be POTUS. Flagged means than no positive actions can be taken on Lt Col Lakin’s behalf, including promotions.  He was scheduled to be promoted to full Colonel in about a year.  Lakin could be court martialed and even arrested for refusing orders, so why is he putting his head on the chopping block like this?  My theory is that he’s trying to force 0bama’s hand.  During his prosecution, discovery will allow him to find evidence to support his case – thus, 0bama will be forced to show his papers.  Stay tuned:  Army Officer Flagged For Challenging Obama BREAKING NEWS – LOOK WHAT ARIZONA JUST DID:  AZ House – Check Obama’s Citizenship

This Week’s Rising Star Is…John Willoughby.  John is running for Congress to replace progressive/statist Mazie Hirono in Hawaii’s second congressional district. He’s a fiscal conservative who believes in securing our borders and enforcing our laws.  As a retired Navy Lieutenant Commander, John is a strong supporter of our military and their families.  He currently works as a commercial airline pilot for United Airlines.  With two young sons, John is concerned about the future of this country and wants to leave it a better place for all children.  GO JOHN!!

Charles Djou Money Wave Today!!!!!!!  Want to sent a message?  Put a Republican in Congress to represent 0bama’s home district in Hawaii.  Go Here:  Djou Money Wave

You Have To Fight…For Your Right…To Vacation!  The head of a European Union committee thinks that vacations are a basic human right and that tax payers should pay for people who cannot afford vacations.  I am not making this up:  Vacationing A Human Right What’s next?  The right to party, of course!

The Last Laugh:  George Bush, Queen Elizabeth, and Vladimir Putin all die and go to hell. While there, they spy a red phone and ask what the phone is for. The devil tells them it is for calling back to Earth. Putin asks to call Russia and talks for 5 minutes. When he is finished the devil informs him that the cost is a million dollars, so Putin writes him a check. Next Queen Elizabeth calls England and talks for 30 minutes. When she is finished the devil informs her that the cost is 6 million dollars, so she writes him a check. Finally George Bush gets his turn and talks for 4 hours. When he is finished the devil informs him that the cost is $5.00. When Putin hears this he goes ballistic and asks the devil why Bush got to call the USA so cheaply. The devil smiles and replies: “Since Obama took over, the country has gone to hell, so it’s a local call.”

This Is GOOD! (Thanks, Garry)

HDR 81(1): Something’s Brewing

Aloha, All! It’s an abbreviated HDR this week because I am up to my ears in Tea Party planning.  Yes, I am involved in the preparations for this week’s rally in Honolulu.  I hope all of you are participating in a rally near you this Thursday.  Don’t believe the lies from the lame-stream media about who is involved in the Tea Party movement – we’re people just like you!  We’re tired of big, bloated government and high taxes.  We want government transparency and accountability.  We’re sick of the back-room deals, the fraud and the lies.  And we want REAL change we can believe in.  Not statism, socialism, Marxism or communism, but a return to the Constitution and the principles on which our country was founded.  We rally because we know all the lousy legislation we’ve seen lately can be repealed with the right people in control.  And we intend to make sure that happens this November and in 2012.  For now, we gather together to show solidarity in our cause.  April 15, 2010, is a step in taking back our country.  Will you be a part of it?  As Gandhi said, “‘First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, then you win.’”

FYI….some of the speculation is that the Dems are putting off the budget process now because it will hurt their Fall election campaigns.  Fools….they are already toast!

HDR 80(1): The Drunks In The Control Tower

"Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit drinking."

ALOHA, ALL! I was at a Tea Party organizing meeting last night and someone asked, “Who is running the country?”  Not a rhetorical or flippant question, but one of concern.  Everyday we see and hear things that our representatives and people in this White House do that make us scratch our heads and wonder this very thing. For example, how about Phil Hare, the Democrat rep from Illinois who said “I don’t worry about the Constitution on this. … What I care more about, I care more about the people dying every day that don’t have health care.” Video He later sent out a YouTube  response explaining his statement (Geez – he thought that helped??)  Then there’s Maxine Waters, Democrat rep from California.  The most amazing thing about her is that people keep re-electing her…what are they thinking?  She said, “The Tea Party emerges as not only outrageous, but they have turned up the volume in ways that even Code Pink have not been able to do.”  Okey-dokey…how about her outrageous participation in anti-Bush, anti-war rallies in the past?  Video (Note how she “turned up the volume.”Also note the vulgar language and hate speech.)  Then there’s “Joltin’ Joe” Biden:  ”It’s a simple proposition to us: Everyone is entitled to adequate medical health care. If you call that a ‘redistribution of income’ — well, so be it. I don’t call it that. I call it just being fair — giving the middle class taxpayers an even break that the wealthy have been getting.”  And don’t even get me started on Hapless Harry and Nancy Nitwit.  So it’s obvious that our country is controlled by socialist idiots who are drunk with power.  A couple of weeks ago I included a link of the members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus.  Here is the list again:  CPC Print this out, make note of these names and VOTE THEM OUT! Progressive = Socialist, no two ways about it.  (Lo and behold…both Phil Hare and Maxine Waters are members.  Imagine that?)

Power To The People! A sure way to know you are being successful is when you are attacked by those who disagree with you.  That’s the position the Tea Party movement is in right now.  No matter how the administration and its minions try to smear the movement and slander the people involved, it’s obvious that it’s picking up strength and gaining more credibility.  Why?  Because the Tea Party movement is ME AND YOU! There were a couple of polls out this week that shed light on the fact that Tea Partiers are a mix of people across the political spectrum.  A USA Today/Gallup poll showed that 51% of  the people involved with Tea Parties are Democrat or Independent.  HUH?  According to the 0bama administration they are all racist, right-wing hate mongers.  So much for that BS.  Here’s my friend the Logistic Monster’s take on this:  America IS Waking Up-Dems Join The Tea Party And for all of you headed to a Tea Party next week, here are tons of great ideas for signs:  101 Tea Party Sign Slogans

A Urologist Fights Back! This guy is my new hero – he posted a sign on his office door telling 0bama voters to “seek care elsewhere.” Now that loud mouth idiot Alan Grayson (the Democrat Rep from Florida who said Republicans want you to “die quickly”) is after the good Dr. Cassell.  Oh yeah??  Good luck, Grayson.  I guess you didn’t notice that Dr. Cassell’s wife is an attorney.  (P.S.  But we noticed that you are a member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus.)

An Army Doctor Fights Back, Too! Wow….looks like people in the medical profession have had enough!  Now a highly decorated Army Lt Colonel is refusing any and all military orders until 0bama shows that he is eligible to be POTUS.  Lt Col Terry Lakin is the highest ranking military officer thus far to take such a stand.  He knows it could mean court martial for him and an end to his military career.  And just like all those other birthers, he sure sounds like a wacko, …after all, he’s the Chief Flight Surgeon for the Army’s Chief of Staff’s crew.  He also has a Bronze Star and Army Commendation Medal (along with numerous other awards) and served in Bosnia, Honduras, Korea and Afghanistan.  Army Surgeon Refuses Service But his eligibility was confirmed by the Hawaii Health Department and State Attorney General, right?  Think again:  Hawaii AG Denies Having Information Supporting Department of Health Claim Ah, what a tangled web we weave!

And Speaking of Doctors…..there will be fewer of them under 0bamacare.  We already heard about the poll that stated many of them would quit the profession under this “reform.”  There will also be fewer people entering the profession:  Obamacare’s Doctorless World

But Isn’t Awesomeness Enough? It turns out there are lots of things in 0bama’s resume that don’t add up.  For instance, he claims to be a “Constitutional scholar and professor,” but in reality he never did hold the title of professor.  He was merely an instructor at Chicago Law School.  Big difference, if you ask me!  And there’s more – this is just the tip of the iceberg:  Investigation Reveals Numerous Bogus Claims on Obama Resume More….he has the nerve to call himself a White Sox fan but can’t name a single player?  Plus, he throws a ball like this:  0bama’s Girly Throw

Hear No Evil, See No Evil.  So why weren’t any of these inconsistencies brought out, and why are they still being hushed?  It turns out the White House has made a deal with journalists who report on 0bama…if they present positive stories they get more access to the Dear Leader.  And if they keep quiet about negative information, even better.  No, I’m not kidding.  Here is some insider info:  Communications Corruption at the White House These journalists have dollar signs as their ultimate goal, knowing that special inside access is needed if they want to write those best sellers about 0bama in the future.  Yes folks, they have sold their souls.

Here’s A Classic! Barney Fife and the Preamble to the Constitution I dare you to watch this and not laugh!   And since you liked that one so much, here’s another one:  Archie Bunker on Democrats Thanks to my friend Sharon for the links

We Don’t Need No Stinkin’ Nukes.  Even “Ahmanutjob” is laughing at 0bama’s new announced nuclear non-strategy:  Iran Ridicules Obama’s Cowboy Nuclear Strategy The Iranian president is calling 0bama an “amateur.”  Wow – for the first time in my life I agree with a crazy dictator.  What to make of this new “we won’t retaliate even if you devastate us with smallpox” plan?  Here’s the best quote I’ve heard:  ”That’s a lot of change resting on nothing more than an awful lot of hope.”  Read the entire commentary by KT McFarland here:  Obama’s Scary Nuke Plan

This Week’s Rising Star Is…..Michel Faulkner.  Does the name sound familiar?  Yes, it’s the same Michel Faulkner who played pro football for the New York Jets.  And here’s the best part – he hopes to unseat Charlie “I didn’t know I needed to pay taxes” Rangel.  Woo Hoo!  Here’s an interview of him on Fox Business:  Former Jet Looks To Unseat Charlie Rangel Michel’s platform includes reducing wasteful government spending, supporting small business growth, and improving the quality of education – including charter school expansion.  Check out his website for more on his background and why he wants to serve the people of New York.  Current Rising Star Tally: Katherine Jenerette (Congress-SC), Allen West (Congress-FL), Les Phillip (Congress-AL), Steve Stivers (Congress-OH), Tim Burns (Congress-PA), Christine O’Donnell (Senate-DE), Dan Benishek (Congress-MI), Linda Goldthorpe (Congress-MI), Ilario Pantano (Congress-NC), Charles Djou (Congress-HI).  Stay tuned for more!

What Did He Say? A lady in North Carolina asked 0bama if he thought it was wise to pass the expensive healthcare bill when the economy is in such bad shape.  Seventeen minutes later, she got lots of bloviating but still no answer:  Obama’s 17-Minute Non-Answer Answer If you’re a glutton for punishment, here’s the whole ugly thing on video:  Breitbart TV And here’s another take on the whole thing-obama’s rambling diatribe shows intellectual weakness.  Could this brilliant law “professor” be a member of what the French call “Les Incompetents”?  I’ve been saying this all along:  Read The Transcript And Freak

Say What? In the new 0bama biography, “The Bridge,” 0bama admits to the editor that he uses different dialects based on whether that audience is white or black.  And he thinks the Tea Party people are racist?  Obama:  I Use A Different Dialect When I speak To Different Races

Bernie Madoff vs. The Government – this is good!  I got this from the excellent online newsletter The Patriot Post:

Why did Bernie Madoff go to prison? To make it simple, he talked people into investing with him. Trouble was, he didn’t invest their money. As time rolled on, he simply took the money from the new investors to pay off the old investors. Finally there were too many old investors and not enough money from new investors coming in to keep the payments going. Next thing you know Madoff is one of the most hated men in America and he is off to jail.  Some of you know this but not enough of you. Madoff did to his investors what the government has been doing to us for over 60 years with Social Security. There is no meaningful difference between the two schemes except that one was operated by a private individual who is now in jail, and the other is operated by politicians who enjoy perks, privileges and status in spite of their actions.

Do you need a side-by-side comparison? Well here’s a nifty little chart.

BERNIE MADOFF	SOCIAL SECURITY
Takes money from investors with the promise that the money will be invested and made available to them later	Takes money from wage earners with the promise that the money will be invested in a “Trust Fund” and made available later.
Instead of investing the money Madoff spends it on nice homes in the Hamptons and yachts.	Instead of depositing money in a Trust Fund the politicians use it for general spending and vote buying.
When the time comes to pay the investors back Madoff simply uses some of the new funds from newer investors to pay back the older investors.	When benefits for older investors become due the politicians pay them with money taken from younger and newer wage earners to pay the geezers.
When Madoff’s scheme is discovered all hell breaks loose. New investors won’t give him any more cash.	When Social Security runs out of money they simply force the taxpayers to send them some more.
Bernie Madoff is in jail.	Politicians remain in Washington.

And now they want to run healthcare???????
