If you have to show identification to board an airplane, cash a check, buy liquor or check out a library book, but not to vote who runs the government … you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.

If, in the largest city, you can buy two 16-ounce sodas, but not a 24-ounce soda because 24-ounces of a sugary drink might make you fat … you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.

If being stripped of the ability to defend yourself makes you more “safe” according to the government … you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.

Couldn't have said it better myself.  

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.

Depressingly True

The full piece is here, and it says exactly what I have been thinking recently.  I will let Grim say it for you, and leave you with the graphic I found there that perfectly illustrates the problem. 

Playing Make Believe in Washington DC

via Breitbart

President Barack Obama and, for that matter, most of America seem woefully ignorant about a scandal unfolding at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. As hard as it is to believe, outgoing Administrator Lisa Jackson actually appears to have had agency personnel create a fictitious employee by the name of “Richard Windsor” so that Jackson could appropriate the Windsor’s email address for her own purposes. 

We’re not talking about some alias to be used for personal correspondence but a totally false identity in whose name official business was allegedly conducted created specifically to avoid federal record-keeping and disclosure requirements. And none of this would ever have been uncovered were it not for the courage of a still anonymous whistleblower and the Competitive Enterprise Institute’s Christopher Horner, an attorney with the legal smarts and experience needed to unravel it all.  
Earlier this week, thanks to Horner’s good work, the EPA was supposed to produce the first installment of some 12,000 secret, previously undisclosed emails. Not because it wanted to but because a federal court order required it to.  
Under the order, the EPA was to provide the first installment of 3,000 e-mails with three additional installments of 3,000 e-mails to follow. Rather than provide the required emails, however, EPA’s cover letter accompanying its production of emails said it “produced more than 2,100 emails received or sent” by Jackson on an official alias e-mail account.  

And now the Hill reports a federal court delivered a serious blow to the Environmental Protection Agency’s renewable fuel agenda, ruling that the agency exceeded its authority by mandating refiners use cellulosic biofuels, which isn’t commercially available.
“We are glad the court has put a stop to EPA’s pattern of setting impossible mandates for a biofuel that does not even exist,” said API Group Downstream Director Bob Greco. “This absurd mandate acts as a stealth tax on gasoline with no environmental benefit that could have ultimately burdened consumers.”
 
So the head of the EPA, who has a make believe employee so the emails sent from that account were difficult to trace, cannot make refiners purchase make believe fuels, which don't exist except in laboratory beakers. How remarkable!  

 You know, the only purpose I have seen the EPA to serve is to increase the tax burden, I really haven't noticed any positive results of having that particular agency.  In fact, if I think about it, there are a lot of negative effects: on small businesses, on railroad industry, on mining companies, on cities, on third world nations, dispproportionately on the poor and disadvantaged.  I wonder how many people have needlessly died of diseases we can prevent by killing the carriers?  The EPA outlawed the best of the insecticides decades ago, and now we have resistant strains of disease, resistant mosquitoes, and not significantly better environment.  But we do have more taxes and penalties and less profit and surely in the eyes of Chicago Jesus and his cronies, that must be good.  Feh, I am too disgusted to pursue this line of thought any further. 

 

Forward, Indeed!

We didn't solve a thing, we simply pushed it down the road a bit, and made it even harder to shift off the backs of the 77% who got clobbered this go round.  You know, there are lots of various kinds of addictions... alcohol, gambling, sex, and yes, SPENDING.  I think maybe Congress (and the American people) have a little spending problem.... what do you think?
