Economy – American and Proud

Misdirection, Deceit and Lies…

By Robert | July 3, 2013

What we are seeing now is the best effort to hide the lack of leadership our nation is going through EVER. We have the media focused on the George Zimmerman witch hunt and subsequent stake burning, while the White House is on fire… The nation is suffering, the world is suffering but hey, some guy who would have liked to be cop rather than a bad guy shot a thug on a dark night after he was beaten.. OH MY GAWD!

As much as I enjoy a good circus, the Zimmerman trial ended for me yesterday. The defense is on solid footing within the facts, the prosecution on the other hand is emotion first. Emotions are strong motivators but rarely do they lead to good decisions. And that’s where we are now.

Emotions led to Obamacare, which in case you didn’t notice got delayed until after the 2014 elections. Is anyone asking questions? Nope. How about media ask these questions:

1. How can a President delay a law that was signed and SCOTUS approved with a stroke of the pen? Where in the Obamacare law does it state that a President has the right to enact it whenever its convenient? IF Obama can delay it and implement it at will, does that mean the next POTUS can retroactively delay it, stop it, kill it?

2. The Congressional Budget office COUNTED on the 4.8 BILLION dollars of revenue that implementation would generate through business penalties to make Obamacare “Deficit Neutral” without those dollars for another year, what is the outlook for the national debt?

Just off the top of my head….

Then there’s the Benghazi, IRS, DOJ, NSA scandals that have taken a back seat to Trayvon’s rotting corpse… Oh and don’t dare look at the gas prices up to 4.00 a gallon and the job market declining and the food/energy prices rising… “But hey ya’ll I gotta go to Africa, cause George Bush did good things there…”

Political strategy?

Democrat thinking: IF the senate refused to pass Amnesty, Obama would have implemented Obamacare as it was LAW. But since Amnesty passed the senate, Obama and his democrat cronies aren’t sure what the house is going to do, they are counting on Boehner to kill the senate bill, then the dems will run against racist republicans the same old story that usually works. Right now, the dems don’t know if the house will pass Amnesty and if they do, coupled with OBAMACARE Train Wreck, they think they may lose the house and Senate…I disagree with that thinking.

If the house passes Amnesty, the house is full democrat in 2014. The senate is going to stay majority democrat anyway unless the RINO’s get Primaried. Most conservatives are fed up with RINO’s and Democrats. Enthusiasm is gone for Republicans in the senate.

Your thoughts on any of this?

Congratulations Democrats You Win….

By Robert | July 27, 2011

Which is really sad on it’s own. Why do I say they win? Very simple…

The democrats have succeeded in taking the entire discussion away from the real issues. Which is something Democrats do regularly. They have put all the talk on radio and TV about the Debt. The debate is over spending and who did what to whom and why… Is anyone paying attention to our JOBS data? Our economic disaster that the Democrats have brought on us?

Nope we’re worried about this arbitrary debt limit, this “Ceiling” that has been raised 70 times, this “Oh MY GOD We’re all gonna die” crisis that is entirely the Democrats meme… But whatever happens in 6 days, our unemployment rate will continue to be over 9% and it very likely will go UP in the near future. There is NO discussion as to WHY we are at 9% unemployment. No plans on getting Government OUT OF THE WAY so our jobs can start materializing…Lets spend every waking moment talking about debt limits and who spend who into this mess. Lets use vitriol to demonize the opposition. Lets not do the obvious thing. Which is this:

The house past a bill in bi-partisan fashion that would raise the ceiling. Crisis solved. Harry Reid blocked it. No Vote. The house should go into other business until that CC&B bill gets a vote. PERIOD.

The house should be working on repealing Obamacare, that would help in job creation almost immediately. OBAMACARE must be repealed and replaced with something workable for all…

Charlie Rangle: What Would Jesus Do?

By Robert | July 9, 2011

Man, you gotta love the liberal mind.

HT Weasel Zippers

CNN — Veteran Democratic Rep. Charlie Rangel made an impassioned plea to religious leaders Friday, calling on them to lobby members of Congress and the Obama administration to remember the “lesser of my brothers and sisters” during this weekend’s debt negotiations.

“What would Jesus do this weekend? Or Moses. Or Allah. Or anyone else,” the New York congressman said at a press conference on Capitol Hill. “I don’t want this book (debt negotiations) closed without the clergy having an opportunity to forcefully express themselves as well as I know they can do.”

Let’s see you rat bastid, Jesus wasn’t real fond of abortion, in the BIBLE it’s stated “Give to Caeser that which is Caeser’s” Meaning PAY YOUR TAXES. Jesus wasn’t real fond of liars, frauds or murderers.. But go ahead and use religion when it suits you… WOW…

I find it absolutely amazing that nobody on the left side will call this hypocrisy. I find it hilarious that Charles Rangle, the most infamous liar in government NOW calls on Congress to have “Morals”…. Yeah good spokesperson you got there libbers.

Deficit Explained by Jack Daniels…

By Robert | February 11, 2011

This pretty much explains the 100 billion dollar cuts that are “Too much” for some…

Now that you understand, go get you a bottle and drink it down because if we can’t cut that much we’re FUBAR!

Good vs Bad in Democrat speak…

By Robert | December 11, 2010

So lets get this straight:

ObamaCare; 1 trillion dollars in debt, costing jobs= GOOD Debt

Stimulus package: 1 trillion dollars in debt, no jobs created except government jobs = GOOD Debt.

Cap and Trade: Cost millions of job, adding billions to the national debt = Good Debt.

Unemployment benefits: 2 years of benefits because of the economy being in bad shape due to the ABOVE policies, adding BILLIONS to the national debt = Good Debt.

Bush tax cuts: Keeping the tax rate the same as it has been for the last 7 years, expected to many private sector jobs, will add 200 billion to the debt (For upper income earners) but will increase revenue by reducing unemployment = BAD DEBT.

I hope you guys understand the liberpuke mind now.

I don’t think the GOP has a clue of how to go on the offensive. The Obama policies have kept the economy in a ditch. These tax extensions will help but the real job killer is the Obama care package. There will be recovery when that law is repealed and/or repaired.

IF the GOP doesn’t repeal that health care debacle, and if they cave to this so-called compromise with Obama I think a 3rd party option is going to be necessary in 2012.

For GAWD SAKE, a third party needs a strong candidate though. Someone better than Bob Barr or Ralph Nader…. I’ll tell you this, if Allen West ran as a WHIG party candidate I’m voting WHIG….

Another thing I’m really sick of hearing about and it’s making a comeback. “Obama inherited this economy” is a good argument for the first year. And if Obama would have NOT spent so much money and time adding to the economy’s woes with healthcare and the other anti-business policies, it may be a good argument. BUT Obama and his far left loons have kept the economy in the crapper and it’s ALL OBAMA NOW! Quit whining liberpukes your hero pulled you out in to the light and now your “Programs” are showing the truth to the masses.

Good bye Democrats and RINO’s America is waking up and we are engaged. No more hiding pork, no more socialism, no more status quo. You are all on notice.

Hypocrisy on the left… AGAIN!

By Robert | December 9, 2010

Funny thing about the liberals, they don’t see the humor in this at all:

“F*&K the President”

The frustration with President Barack Obama over his tax cut compromise was palpable and even profane at Thursday’s House Democratic Caucus meeting.

One unidentified lawmaker went so far as to mutter “f— the president” while Rep. Shelley Berkley was defending the package the president negotiated with Republicans. Berkley confirmed the incident, although she declined to name the specific lawmaker.

“It wasn’t loud,” the Nevada Democrat said. “It was just expressing frustration from a very frustrated Member.”

When the senator from South Carolina CORRECTLY yelled “You lie” at the POTUS in the State of the Union address, the liberals went NUTS calling him everything from racist to anti-American. But saying “Fu*K the President is just frustration? Wha? :rotfl:

Man I tell you if this wasn’t real it would make for one hilarious sit-com. Our liberal elites that have convinced themselves that keeping the poor, poor is good for the nation, have also convinced themselves that keeping the tax rates the same during a major recession is a bad idea. They believe giving more money to poor and paying people not to work is a better idea than making the business environment more conducive to hiring those out of work…. BIZARRE.

In a liberals mind the more unemployed the more votes they will get in the next election. The more welfare money that is shoveled into the poor areas will result in more votes. I think that time has passed. I think the narrative has switched.

Think of it like this: The liberal argument that “Trickle down economics is a failure and it’s proven now” is the same argument about the liberal federal funding of their special projects “Giving people money to not work is a failure”

IF I was elected and sitting in the senate I would not vote for this tax cut “Compromise” Unless as I stated in the below post, it was gamesmanship. I would vote to not give Obama a damn thing. I would vote to let the tax cuts expire. I would vote to not do a damn thing until the next congress session. Then I would work for a solution and that would include retroactive tax breaks.

Truthfully I am enjoying to no end the liberpuke head explosions that are occurring across the nation.

Note to Sarah Palin, you are now free to take a vacation we have Obama now.

Red-White and Pink Slip Blues.

For my Buddy Kurt…

HT to Jenn for the video.

I’ve always been a fan of Hank, and by GAWD he nailed it here. There are a lot of us out here that have been working for MANY MANY years, paying taxes and fighting for our American way of life. The life that is afforded by the sweat of our brow.

You maybe a business owner, a CEO, a Manager, a trade expert, or a grunt on the line. IF you have worked by the rules and lived by the code of an “Honest days work for an Honest days pay” This song hits home.

Many of us folks are now out of work, many of us find ourselves at the mercy of the Government. Many of us want jobs, many of us want to be self sufficient. Unfortunately many of us became complacent and thought things were bad before….We got a wake up call in 2007.

Companies create jobs, individuals willing to risk all to be successful and wealthy create jobs. They are not the evil ones (Mostly) Unfortunately until the Government quits painting the “Rich and Wealthy” as the bad guy. I fear jobs will be few and far between. We have taken the incentive away from those with the means to create, and given the incentive to those that take and sponge. Wrong on so many levels, but it’s the new Democrat way.

For those of you unemployed after years of work, I feel sorry for your plight. For those of you that voted Democrat and are unemployed. I say, you got what you asked for.

What now? After the stimulus…

By Robert | October 9, 2010

Since the Obama administration and a progressive congress passed the 800 BILLION dollar stimulus package to “Save us.” What has it saved us from?

We are at 10% unemployment, we have more people on welfare and food stamps than any time in our nations history. And there is no end in sight. What’s next?

Will the “Lame Ducks” pass another “Save us all” stimulus package?

Here’s my point with all these questions:

We knew hard times were coming. We still know hard times are coming. We keep putting off the pain by the same accounting practices that put Maddoff in jail. When the real pain comes what will be left in our arsenal to soften the blow?

What needs to happen and this may rub some folks the wrong way is:

We need to go on and bite the bullet. We need to use the “Non-Spent” portion of the stimulus package and put it in the welfare/unemployment pot. We need to put all the money that is being wasted on the “Pork” and put it in the same pot. At that point we need to extend the tax cuts for all, cut ALL spending by 15%-25% and create a business/employer tax that makes businesses realize their value, enhance their bottom lines and open the door to them hiring people again.

We need to increase import taxes on any goods from China and Mexico. We need to place businesses back on a track where they can succeed without Government trying to handcuff them against foreign competition. This will be hard. Funding for some things must be cut, federal and state union benefits must be cut or split, employees of government will have to be cut many of the “Social” programs will need to decreased and this will hurt people. It will also ferret out the slugs.

While these policies are taking affect, more people will be on the unemployment lines, more folks will lose their homes and more pain will be felt across the board. IT WILL BE HARD AND TEMPORARY. 6 months tops before the turnaround becomes notable and 8 months before true recovery is undeniable. NO SPIN, NO B.S….

The real problem is the lack of desire to win a fight. We are fighting this recession just like we fight wars now. We don’t go in to win by whatever means necessary. We go in half assed and try not to upset people…

Think about it.

We would have been out of Afghanistan and Iraq if we fought it like we did WW2. IF we leveled a village when we took fire from it, if we destroyed a 1 mile radius of turf when fire came from a specific area. Yep there would be a lot of deaths…Yep it would be bad…BUT would there be MORE deaths that way or 10 years of the way we are doing it now? Would there be any fight left in the enemy if they had to experience the full thrust of American power in a few months? Would they see we are dead serious about this? Would we now be able to help rebuilding them, or as we are now still fighting the same way…These are questions because we don’t know. I do know that WW2 was only 5 years and we killed a lot of bad guys, and lost a lot of our own good guys. but it was 5 years…NOT 10+

IF we are serious about fixing this economy, we need to stop liberaling our way around and get to the fight. We can’t have this for 10 years, we can’t keep putting more money in the foodstamps and welfare programs because “For every $1.00 spent in foodstamps $1.72 goes into the economy.” That’s a strategy of dependency, surfdom and slavery. That means you are depending on the government for your lively hood and it’s not the American way, well it used to not be…

A temporary hard time of 6 months to a year, is better than 10 years of tough times….

Bring it on, get it over with and lets get back to the American way of life. Big trucks, hot chicks, good food, bad ass guns, working hard, playing hard and FREEDOM to make our own choices…

Rant over.
