What a cliche. Really? Four more years: “For the children!?” What a putz. What a sleazy, fake, piece of crap manchurian candidate.

Addressing Iowa Democrats, Obama frames 2012 race as one ‘for our children’

“Part of what 2012 is about is both reminding the American people of how far we’ve traveled and the concrete effects that some of our work … but part of it is also framing this larger debate about what kind of country are we going to leave for our children and our grandchildren,” he said. ~dailycaller.com

Thanks asshole. Please have four more years to complete your total destruction of America.

Looks like Bush’s CIA assassination squad finally got him did it.

Hugo Chávez extended stay in a Cuban hospital is because he is in critical condition, according to a report in El Nuevo Herald.

The Venezuelan president, who was last seen in public June 9 and last heard from on June 12, on a phone call with Venezuelan state television, was said to have been treated for a pelvic abscess in Cuba. ~latino.foxnews

It’s sad really. Sean Penn, Danny Glover, Harry Belefonte, et al, and old what’s-her-name will be devastated.

Efficient government?

It’s either an oxymoron or a euphemism for something else entirely. I think I like Harry Truman’s take on it: “Whenever you have an efficient government you have a dictatorship.”

Via Slashdot:

“Federal CIO Vivek Kundra described some dismaying government inefficiencies in a speech on Thursday at the University of Washington’s Evans School of Public Affairs in Seattle. It takes 160 days to process benefits for veterans, he said, ‘because the Veteran’s Administration is processing paperwork by passing manila folders from one desk to another.’ Another example bound to make you grind your teeth is why it takes the Patent and Trademark Office 3 years to process a patent. ‘One reason,’ says Kundra, ‘is because the USPTO receives these applications online, prints them out, and then someone manually rekeys the information into an antiquated system.’”  ~slashdot

A new leftist era?

Obama and Chavez brother handshake

Obama and Chavez warm handshake

It certainly looks like Obama is handing over Central America to commie dictators. But then what do I know? On the other hand, Tom Hayden seems convinced. He seems to believe that Obama is in league with the commies in our southern hemisphere. At the very least he believes Obama is highly sympathetic to the cause of global communism. But maybe he just sees what he urgently hopes for.

Apparently, Obama and Chavez have had lengthy (friendly) talks.

According to eyewitness sources, under the apparently blind eye of the global media, the two leaders had lengthy conversations. The media covered the friendly photo of the initial handshake between the two leaders, then made much ado about an apparently-impertinent Chavez handing Obama a book in Spanish by Eduardo Galleano.

What has not been reported is that Obama, leaving his advisers behind, held lengthy private conversations with Chavez where only an interpreter was present.  ~tpmcafe.talkingpointsmemo.com

Couple this with the fact that Obama has erroneously backed a leftist ally of Chavez who attempted to overthrow the constitution of Honduras and what you have is an apparent preference for 21st century socialism.

The idea that the left here in this country defends Obama and the would-be dictator Zelaya should be a caution. Is this something the left would approve of here in the US? The left views our own consitution as a, ‘flexible,’ ‘living document,’ that can be reinterpreted as they see fit for every ‘new era.’

Meanwhile Obama (and his news media) is silent about Chavez’s threats to invade Honduras to install Zelaya as a puppet of the new socialism. In fact, Chavez even printed the illegal ballots for Zelaya’s overthrow of the Honduras constitution.

What I think this reveals is that Obama is a stealth candidate whose purpose must remain mainly concealed from the general public because his true leftist policies would be completely rejected by a majority of Americans.

Thus Obama has to rely on doublespeak and alternating liberal and conservative messages about his policies. He says one thing while doing another. He claims to be for fiscal responsibility but then increases the deficit by a trillion dollars. He claims a, “fierce moral urgency,” in ending indefinite detention but then continues the policy. He claims not to be hostile to capitalism but then begins nationalizing the auto industry and begins the nationalization of the heath care industry.

Chavez, Zelaya, Castro, and Obama, captains of a new era.

Three letter word

What’s a three letter word meaning, “Created or saved?” Why, *J – O – B – S*, of course. Quite simply, the dishonesty and doubletalk from Obama and his administration are epidemic and incurable. Obama is a compulsive liar. Everything he says is a lie, a purposeful deception, meant to disguise a radical leftist agenda to ‘transform’ America.

Tax cuts for 95% of Americans? How about massive tax increases across the board with the cost of everything going through the roof. VAT taxes. Energy taxes. Soda taxes. Fat taxes. Health Care taxes. The list goes on and on. There are literally thousands of taxes being cued up in the Democrat congress as we speak.

Fiscal responsibility? Bush left us a deficit of about $400 billion. (We can blame some of that on the cost of two wars.) But Obama steps into office and pushes through the most massive spending packages in the history of the earth. Multiplying the deficit to a record $1.8 trillion according to the Congressional Budget office in his ‘historic’ first 100 days. Likely, this will end up being even more since Pelosi and Reid have mentioned that they may need more stimulus money to spend. No doubt right about the time they need to get reelected. Most ethical congress ever. Right?

Which brings us to that three letter word: jobs. The scare tactic used by Obama was that if they didn’t pass the stimulus package immediately (and without debate) then unemployment would skyrocket to 9%! That ONLY if their plan was enacted would unemployment peak at 8% briefly and then begin to fall precipitously as the era of Obama utopia begins.

Instead, the stimulus plan seems to have accelerated unemployment. What they meant to say was that with the stimulus unemployment would top 9% because it’s now 9.4% and rising.

Obama-Stimulus-FAIL chart

But don’t worry Obama has plenty of lies to help the liberal media cover up the truth.

Mr. Fratto sees a double standard at play. “We would never have used a formula like ‘save or create,’” he tells me. “To begin with, the number is pure fiction — the administration has no way to measure how many jobs are actually being ‘saved.’ And if we had tried to use something this flimsy, the press would never have let us get away with it.”

Of course, the inability to measure Mr. Obama’s jobs formula is part of its attraction. Never mind that no one — not the Labor Department, not the Treasury, not the Bureau of Labor Statistics — actually measures “jobs saved.” As the New York Times delicately reports, Mr. Obama’s jobs claims are “based on macroeconomic estimates, not an actual counting of jobs.” Nice work if you can get away with it. ~online.wsj.com

Obama is constructing a house built on pure lies. But he can get away with it because the liberal press has no interest in objectivity.

Not only has Obama and his accomplices spent more than any One-Party-Government in history but they are getting ready to nationalize another industry and are already telegraphing that price is no object:

Dear Leader: It’s OK to Borrow More For Obamacare

45% Say Cancel Rest of Stimulus Spending

The problem with this is that Obama is standing at the bow of this ship declaring that he’s king of the world even as he steers it toward the icebergs with a crazy gleem in his eyes. All the while saying that he’s saving or creating lives.

In the end, if Obama succeeds, America fails.

Socialism is slavery

What’s key to understanding Obama’s presidiency? He ran as a centrist, promising  to unite America with promises like cutting taxes for 95% of Americans. (What do you call a ‘tax cut’ when you don’t pay any taxes?) Once elected The-One Party government has proposed zero tax cuts and quite a few tax increases and proceeded to balloon the deficit beyond any previous government.

As he reveals what his actual policies are we find more and more government intervention and takeover. Total transformation of the United States of America is his stated goal and he intends to deliver.

Let’s look at the deficit. We were told that we must elect Democrats because Bush was such a profligate spender. Democrats ran on a platform of fiscal conservatism. All lies.

You can see the Bush/Congress budgets from 2000 to 2008. Notice the tall red lines to the right starting at 2008 there. These are not Bush budgets, they are the Obama/Democrat congress budgets. The difference is exponential.

obama-debt

What is happening since the election of Obama and a completely Democrat controlled congress is a government completely out of control. Bankruptcy cannot be far behind. These budgets are unsustainable.

Add to this the nationalization of the auto industry, the healthcare industry, and the financial industry and what you have is the beginning of total government control of every aspect of our lives. There will be no freedom of speech to criticize your employer when it is the government providing your job. There will be no free speech at all after the government ‘bailout’ of the press. The government will own the presses.

This is the left’s top down approach to democracy and it is Obama’s method of madness. The best and the brightest make decisions and plan the economy for the benefit of all the people. In essence, the government controls the people. Since we are the government, they say, it’s all ok. But this is how socialism works, (or rather doesn’t work). This is a giant left turn off the cliff and into total government control. Total as in totalitarian. Eventually nothing is exempt from that control.

Once the government is paying for your healthcare, guess what, they will be deciding what foods you will be allowed to eat,  and how much you exercise.

The left has no plans or principles that will prevent every minute detail of your life coming under the control of some government agency, basically allowing some beauracrat to step in and hassle you to death. As government takes over more areas there will be more reason to take over more. You will be fined, harrassed, monitored and eventually incarcerated if you do not do whatever some government busy body wants you to do. –And it will all be for your own good of course.

This is nothing less than slavery. But it is the change that Obama promised. This is the way he will ‘set us free’.

The transformative path

obama-messiah-1-250pxFree markets have failed and we must now embark on a new transformative path of change. All of our problems are due to the greed of big business, so instead we need wise experts, technocrats, and politicians to make economic decisions for the common good in order to create a fair and prosperous society.

Sounds familiar. Sadly, this experiment never ends well. How unwell it will end in our case depends on how far Obama and his congress take us down the road to serfdom.

There’s nothing worse we could do than put politicians in charge of the economy. The argument is an old one, discredited and debunked, but one held as tightly as belief in the trinity, baptism by water, or that buddha is enlightenment; in essence it is this: that business is greedy and the rich are rich because they take wealth from the poor. The history of this nation and of the system of capitalism that has developed over many years says otherwise. Wealth in free capitalist countries benefits rich and poor alike because it is the thing called capital in capitalism that works for society, to improve, invest, and return a higher standard of living to both rich and poor alike.

The truth is that however bad you think free markets are– political markets are far worse. America is a country that has never been perfect, being peopled by persons of imperfection, but in the combination of freedom, individualism, property rights, classical liberal morality, and dare I say Judeo-Christian morality, we have achieved a standard of living unparalleled by any other civilization in the history of the earth. The poor in the United States live like no other class of poor in history.

It is not by chance or fickle fortune that wealth has accrued to the capitalist system. Even as Marx fundamentally misunderstood what was happening before his eyes he nevertheless recognized that capitalism does indeed produce wealth and this wealth produced higher standards of living for all.

Dismantling the structures of American capitalism and replacing it with the structures of a politicized economy will destroy wealth creation in this country and likely the world economy will follow. The transformation that Obama and his congress are now pursuing is nothing less than a grand looting. Eventually, if we follow it to it’s logical conclusion, it will effectively end American democracy and destroy personal freedom.

Channeling Dems

Kim Jong Il channels Democrats like nobody’s business. But I’m not sure if which direction the spiritual flow is going. When the left talks about Bush’s torture regime and Guantanamo it sounds an awful lot like this:

KCNA Demands Closure of U.S. Secret Prisons

Pyongyang, March 24 (KCNA) — The special rapporteur for torture issue of the UN Human Rights Council and the UN special envoy for human rights and anti-terrorism, addressing the recent 10th meeting of the council, declared that an international investigation would be conducted into the secret prisons operated by the United States.

They denounced the atrocities committed by the U.S. as the “most horrible acts,” asserting that they would not allow the U.S. to evade its responsibility for them with ease on account of the replacement of the U.S. administration and that the investigation should be continued till everything has been clarified.

This is a proper step taken by the international community against the U.S. which has committed ceaseless human rights abuses in different parts of the world under the signboard of “war on terrorism.”

The U.S. set up a secret prison in Guantanamo of Cuba in the wake of the “September 11 incident” and established such prisons in different countries of the world and even on warships.

It arrested many people and has kept them in custody for a long period, ruthlessly violating their freedom and human rights.

26,000 people are now detained, without having even a chance to stand a fair trial, the most elementary human rights.

They are put to beating, sleep depravation, water boarding, sexual torture and other forms of mediaeval torture. Guiltless people are disappearing without being known to the outside, while undergoing unbearable pain.

These are the hideous human rights abuses quite contrary to the humanitarian principles of modern international law including the “Geneva Convention” and international law on human rights.

Precisely for this reason the International Committee of the Red Cross in a report in 2007 defined the U.S. atrocities as “cruel and inhuman contempt of personality” and “torture.”

What merits a serious attention is that the U.S. is trying to keep the secret prisons censured by the world.

This is evidenced by the fact that the U.S. attorney general, while announcing the “new standard for the operation of the facilities for ‘suspected terrorists’” in Guantanamo on March 13, blustered that it is inevitable to operate these facilities in a way to tighten national security.

These outbursts cannot but sound very surprising as they are let loose without let-up under the pretext of “examining” the closure of the secret prison in Guantanamo.

During the office of the Bush administration the U.S. left no means untried to cover up the operation of secret prisons with such crafty words as “national security”.

The new U.S. administration is echoing such words only to reveal its intention not to close them.

The U.S. had better close as early as possible the secret prisons ill-famed for lots of human rights abuses. ~kcna.co.jp
