Sorry, Laughing Too Hard....

My Pockets are Getting Empty

Graphic From the Moonbattery

I am tired of the government reaching into my pocket and taking away the very hard won proceeds of my labors and giving it to people who don't work, have babies for a living, commit crimes for a living, entered this country illegally, etc. I do not mind extending a helping hand to those who are unable to help themselves, whom misfortune has visited, but I really object to giving money to those who are just too damn lazy to do better, or who feel they are better than others who obey the laws, wait for the system to work, and work within the system. I REALLY don't like it when the administration then lies to me about it.

It seems that there is something that happens to people in the Washington metro area, especially once they become enmeshed in the political system. They forget everything they said or thought before, and become politibots, interested only in remaining in power in the Capital. They will say or do anything it takes to stay there, even knowing that what they do is bad for America, bad for most people. They pander to small groups to get the votes to add up, distracting the uninformed from the important matters, and concentrating the media attention on emotional matters of but little import. These days, it seems the majority of Americans are willfully uninformed, willing to accept what they see on a 12 second soundbite on ABC as the gospel truth, even when last year the same show had a totally different story when it suited the right candidate. People are not willing to pay attention, become educated in issues, read significant amounts of raw data, spend enough time informing themselves on candidates and their stands.

Seem harsh? Feel insulted? The examples are legion. How many people remember how vociferously Sen Obama spoke against executive privilege, or gay marriage, or individual health care mandates, or his opinion on medical marijuana, lobbyists in the White House, public financing for campaigns, oh yes, and raising the debt limit. How about extending the Bush tax cuts? He claimed Bush violated the constitution continually with Homeland Security issues, then carried out warrantless wiretaps, indefinite detentions, kept Guantanamo Bay open, and greatly increased drone attacks, including on American citizens, claiming the power of life and death without a court order even on American soil. And that is just Obama, the rest of Washington is just the same.

I am disgusted. Utterly disgusted. Not just in politicians, either, though they are front and center, but in the people who refuse to spend the time to educate themselves so that they can make good decisions, and the people who simple panhandle for a living.

So, what will happen when the milchcow runs dry? Sooner or later, it will happen. At the rate this administration is spending, it won't be long.

Eleven States With More People on Welfare than Employed

Straight from Michael Savage (link here) If you look at the states, the ones with a current Republican governor are split between having a Republican voting record, largely, (SC, AL, MS) and those mostly voting Democratic (ME, OH, NM).  The states with Democrat governors are pretty strongly Blue voters.  Hmmm.  Looks like there might be a correlation between political party affiliation and likelihood of entitlement overload.  Of course there are other factors to look at, but.....
    


 

Disgusting. But Then, It is Obama...

Obama Eliminates Breakfast for US Troops in Afghanistan

 

Full story from FrontPageMag.com here
"If only American soldiers in Afghanistan were unemployed Democratic voters in Chicago, then they might be getting three square meals a day from the government.
But the military is the one place that Obama feels comfortable slashing expenses. While spending at an uncontrollable rate unseen since the last days of the Roman Empire in every other area, Obama has been cutting “waste” in the military like 20,000 Marines, Tricare healthcare for veterans and breakfast for soldiers serving in areas where he would only venture accompanied by heavy firepower.
Warren Buffett and other crony capitalists can pig out on Obama’s trillion dollar deficits. As for the troops. Let them ear MRE’s."

This man has the arrogance of a Caesar.   One can only hope he goes the same way as them, into ridicule or obscurity, like Nero or Claudius.  Or maybe he is more like George III, loony as can be, and that is how history will remember him.  But not, of course, as long as the media has a mission to make him out to be the next Jesus, the next messiah of the world.  The only thing he is interested in saving is his own butt and his left wing radical agenda.  Hypocritical, arrogant, lying, thieving, dictitorial, do I need to add any more?  Or can I just say that I really really can't wait until 2014, and then 2016.  I sure hope we last that long.  Right now, I don't have a lot of confidence.

Obamanomics... How Much More Can We Take?

Long Term Unemployment at Highest Level Since WWII

by Keith Koffler on January 15, 2013, 10:18 am

 (partial article... full article here)

Long term unemployment under President Obama is at the highest level since at least the end of World War II, threatening to create a permanent underclass of workers who will find it difficult or impossible to obtain jobs in the future. What’s more, Obama’s insistence on repeatedly extending long term unemployment benefits may be fueling the unemployment problem.
According to data recently released by the St. Louis Federal Reserve, the average duration of unemployment is now at about 40 weeks, double the previous highest level of about 20 weeks that prevailed during the last three recessions.
