Man Made Global Inundation

Yes, you read it right. Mankind is responsible for yet another natural phenomenon.

Large amounts if particulate matter in the atmosphere, caused by human activity, are causing an abnormally high number of raindrops to form; they then fall to earth in such quantities, that we are in danger of total inundation!

In light of the seriousness of this situation, which could lead to our all being swooshed off the face of our planet, President Boobama has taken swift and decisive action.

Since particles float about in the atmosphere, it's nearly impossible to trace them to their source, and force the producers to snare the little devils before they can do any harm.

Therefore, Boobama has ordained a new tax on property owners, assessed according to the amount of rain that falls on their land and buildings. Each property owner must install a digital rain gauge, which will then be connected to a network and routed to the IRS.

The IRS will establish a database of each taxpayer's land holdings, and calculate total rainfall for each property. The exact tax rate per gallon has not yet been established, but with every new Boobama measure to 'save our economy', it will undoubtedly get higher.

A ray of sunshine: tax credits for those who build swimming pools and other structures that will capture and hold excess rainfall.

The Voice Of Reason

In the matter of Henry Gates, Jr., our foolish and arrogant President behaved exactly the opposite of someone who is above racial politics. Eyewitnesses attest to Gates' pugnacious behavior. Photos clearly show a black officer at the scene, who in no way appears to be upset by Gates' arrest.

Yet President Oblivious pronounces that the Cambridge police acted "stupidly". I beg to differ. Sergeant Crowley, by all accounts, is an exemplary policeman, and his is the voice of reason.



Now the President is backpedaling, talking about having a beer with Crowley. Strictly Amateur Hour.

Halfwit Nation

Our beloved representatives in Washington seem to think that most of us are half-witted. Or maybe that's just on their wish list.

It would really be cost effective for them to put something in the water that would mentally incapacitate us. Then it would be so much easier to pilfer from our pocketbooks. Just think, no more embarrassing town hall meetings, either, where the citizenry is better informed than they are about the bills they support.

As it is now, important legislation quickly gets uploaded to the Internet, where many of us study it far more thoroughly than do our beloved representatives. Most of them seem to have such trust in our Teleprompter-In-Chief, that they don't feel the need to know what they're voting on.

Take health care, for instance. The President himself, when questioned by a blogger, said He wasn't familiar with the provision that would kill private insurance. What kind of leadership is this? Particularly, when He has promised that private insurance would remain viable.

Then there's climate change. It's been going on for billions of years, but now we're supposed to panic because Al Gore and the Prez say we're causing it, and we're all going to die if we don't spend a lot of money to hamstring our economy. They can talk all they want, but as long as we have our wits about us, most of us will recognize this for the self-serving lie it is.

This is an intelligent nation. We will not put up with this campaign to to turn us into a second-rate country. We are outraged at our leaders who apologize to foreign heads-of-state, and denigrate the greatest free nation on Earth.

This tyranny of mediocrity is doomed to failure. They have underestimated us.

Prez' Citizenship In Doubt

If you think that doubts of President Oblivious' citizenship are discussed only on the Internet, you need to see this video:



Patriotic Americans are seriously questioning the lack of a true birth certificate for Mr. O. When someone brings a court case(there have been many) challenging His legitimacy, a flock of lawyers shows up, but no birth certificate. If there is one, it sure would be cheaper and quicker to just whip it out and shut everyone up.

Chaos

The turmoil in Iran continues. Mehdi Karroubi, defeated Iranian presidential candidate and reform cleric, is attacked on his way to prayers. Thousands of Iranians are still chanting "Freedom!" Does President Oblivious care? People crying out for freedom must be beneath His notice, for He says nothing. Not surprising, since He's doing his best to take away our freedoms here at home.

Unemployment continues to rise. Our debt is huge, and it's likely that other countries will start avoiding the purchase of our Treasury notes. This means the printing presses will be working overtime, producing more funny money, further devaluing our currency. The only difference between the plight of California, and that of the U.S., is that the U.S. government can print money. Poor California has to cut spending or go out of business.

Nancy Pelosi claims that the American people support the health care bill. I don't know one person who does. I think she knows that this "support" comment is a lie, but why should she stop now? The mainstream press never questions the drivel coming out of Washington.

So, we have a teleprompter President presiding over a failing economy, delusional Congressional leadership, and no sense of national purpose or unity coming out of Washington. Chaos.

Yes, our Feckless Leader looks cute throwing out a baseball, but the magic is gone.

Health Care Bill Is Ill

The new health care bill was just released - over 1,000 pages! Why so many pages? Regulations! For instance, regulations about renting powered wheelchairs, about stopping smoking, about how to deal with dementia. Yes, the government wants more power over your life than ever before. Your personal freedom is on the line.

There will be a new government health board: bureaucrats to make decisions about your health care. To pay for this board, everyone's health insurance will be taxed. Who would willingly pay a bunch of bureaucrats to interfere with his/her health? I will have nightmares over this, while the President and His cronies are deciding who will get the plum assignments on this board.

There is even a tax on those without "acceptable" health care coverage. So don't think that just the "rich" will be paying for this bill. The "rich" tax will only raise half the money necessary to support this health care program, and that's assuming that they don't figure out a way to avoid paying this extra 5.4% on their income.

We will all pay. It will cost some of us our lives. Just picture a United States where all the immigrants have been legalized (more Democrat voters) and your tax dollars are paying for their health care. You turn 65, and need a life-saving operation, but there's no money to keep an old person like you alive. You will be sacrificed for the "greater good".

This is happening right now in Canada and the UK. France has a better system, but they're running a huge health-care deficit that threatens to bring the whole thing down. Is this part of the New World order? No wonder I'm reactionary.

Pelosi Strikes Again

Queen Nancy was displeased. Caught lying about what she knew, and when she knew it, and playing "liar, liar!" with the CIA, she decided she wouldn't discuss these matters any more, and wanted to "move forward."

Now she wants to slither backward, and find ways to vilify the actions of the CIA under the Bush administration. And, of course, Dick Cheney is in the crosshairs. Liberals love to hate Cheney, and I think the biggest reason is that he doesn't give a damn what they think.

So, with this country now the most indebted in the history of the world, the Democrats and President Nero continue fiddling around. Will the country dance to their tune?

Vote Of No Confidence

Assurances from Washington about the economy are falling on deaf ears. When you hear, "Well, the figures aren't as bad as we expected," you know the economy is in the tank.

Consumers are smarter than politicians: they are cutting their spending, not sinking us deeper in debt. The chart above says it all. The gray lines indicate recessions, and the consequent drops in consumer spending; the current drop is by far the worst in almost 60 years.

I wonder what would have happened if, instead of the "stimulus", we had enjoyed a big tax cut. That would have put me in a better spending mood. How about you?

Two Degrees Of Obfuscation

The G8, including our Feckless Leader, have decided that they will play God. They agree that they should keep the World's temperature from rising more than 2 degrees Centigrade.

The G8 are wealthy countries whose leaders feel that their citizens will put up with this lunacy. They continue to insist there is a scientific consensus that climate change is man-made. (They have to call it "climate change" now, since we are in a cooling trend these days.)

A group of eminent scientists beg to differ with the claim of consensus. Their statement can be found on the web site of the Cato Institute.

Fortunately, the majority of the G8 citizens have the common sense to laugh at this hooey. But they won't be laughing when the bills start coming in, straining already overtaxed economies.

Who will benefit from this sort of nonsense? A big beneficiary will be the Chicago Climate Exchange. Can you guess who founded this boondoggle? Would you believe it was Al Gore and Henry Paulson? That says it all, doesn't it?

Big Babies In Media

Sarah Palin's resignation came as a complete surprise to the mainstream media, so they went on the attack. How dare she do something unexpected? What chutzpah, speaking off the cuff - no notes or teleprompter. Who does she think she is?

They are labeling her erratic, ditzy, unstable, and worse. These spoiled brats are in a major snit. If Sarah were one of the elitists now hanging out at the White House, she might give a damn. As it is, she has the courage to blaze her own trail, and not get sucked into the excesses of the Beltway crowd.

Sarah Palin will always be considered a threat by diehard Liberals. Even they can perceive her resonance with the average person, her ability to talk to them, not make pronouncements from on high. She would never hold phony, scripted news conferences.

Elitist Republicans turn up their noses at their own peril. Sarah is a hero to the rank-and-file. Don't tread on her.

Pope Got Raw Deal

Pope Pius XII has often been vilified as having been complicit with the anti-Semitism of the Nazis under Adolf Hitler. It's a popular belief that the Vatican twiddled its thumbs while Jews were being annililated.

The Pave The Way Foundation has done an extensive investigation into the activities of Pope Pius XII before, and during, World War II. Amazingly, they have found not one shred of proof to support the popular perception. In fact, there is extensive evidence to the contrary.

If you go to the Pave The Way web site, you'll find reams of documentary evidence, much of it from primary sources, that shows that Pius XII was a great supporter of, and advocate for, the Jewish people. In fact, he was instrumental in saving many Jewish lives.

This investigation is just one piece of the work the Pave The Way Foundation does. It's mission is to pave the way to peace by removing obstacles between the religions and by initiating gestures of good will.

Fourth Of July

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!

May We Always Be The Land Of The Free
And The Home Of The Brave

Are They Happy Now, Or Are They Scared?

The critics of Sarah Palin have been many and varied. Bitchy Democrats, stuffy Republicans, the just-plain-jealous, to name a few. And now Sarah, who withstood an almost unheard-of amount of vilification, investigation, and obscenity with amazing grace and toughness, is leaving the arena. Or is she?

I hope that question gives her enemies sleepless nights. I hope they worry about what she may be thinking, planning, strategizing.

Much of the hatred focused on Sarah Palin came out of fear. She stood up for herself and her principles, the same principles so many of us hold dear. She is a superior communicator, whether she drops a few "g's" and sounds like a soccer mom, or not. Sarah resonates with Americans in a unique way. And so she is feared by those who would twist this country mercilessly into something the Founding Fathers would have abhorred.

When Sarah made her entrance at the Republican Convention, with a speech that brought down the house, she became a marked woman, someone who needed to be destroyed and ground into the dirt. And so the muck-rakers headed to Alaska, certain that no one could really be as good as Sarah Palin appeared. They raked and raked, but could come up with nothing that would stick. But if the mud doesn't stick, you can still stick your target with huge legal bills.

Sarah was one of the poorest people ever to run for such a high office, with a family income well under $200,000. So the vultures now have her and her family $500,000 in the hole. I'll bet John McCain hasn't put a penny in her defense fund.

Her speech resigning as the Governor of Alaska was both bold and touching, like Sarah herself. She has always genuinely sounded like what we see so rarely, a true public servant, driven only by what's good for her country.

I hope the future holds great things for Sarah Palin, but most of all, I wish her happiness.

Canadian Health Care Difficulties

Recently, I was surprised to hear a shocking story about health care in Canada. They have the kind of system that the Democrats keep trying to foist on us.

First, you need to know that c. difficile is a bacterium that can cause symptoms ranging from diarrhea to life-threatening inflammation of the colon. It most often affects older adults, and usually occurs after a course of antibiotics. It's pretty well known that antibiotics can kill the beneficial bacteria in your intestines, giving malicious bacteria free rein. Taking probiotics can alleviate this problem, but overburdened doctors on the public payroll probably have no time to worry about such finicky details.

What I heard was that in Quebec, c. diff. is 5 times more common than in the U.S., and in order to minimize the problem, deaths are underreported. How? If anyone 55 or over dies of c. diff., their death is attributed to old age.

Is this what we have to look forward to? I'm feeling sick already...

Sign The Health Care Petition

If you're worried about the government takeover of health care, you owe it to yourself to go to this petition stating that: we need to be able to choose our own doctors and our own plans; that we should have access to the treatment that we need; that we don't want the government making health care decisions for us.

After you sign, you'll get access to an excellent paper from the National Center For Policy Analysis, called "Ten Steps to a Patient-Friendly Health Care System".

Personally, I think we need legislation that puts Congress and the President in the same health plan that they prescribe for us.
