Ever since the Health-care boondoggle started I’ve been suspicious of Mac Baucus (D Montana) and his motives.

“Greasy”was the term that popped into my head when his ugly puss first started showing up in the press. He just seemed to have that quality to him, that “I’m from the government and I’m here to help you” look that while he’s “helping” you with his right hand, that left hand is busily stealing everything you have.

Guess I wasn’t too far off in my thoughts now was I? Remember when Baucus was the front man at the outset of the Health Care legislation?

Looking back over the last year, As things wore on and on with the Health Care debate, it seemed as if Baucus sort of faded from the spot light, I wondered why that was, but now I’m pretty much convinced of one thing.

Baucus is one of the useful idiots of the purist Marxist stripes. He’s was so far left and prone to speaking out and saying the wrong thing at the wrong time, that the Democrats had to tone it down some, so he was quietly removed from the legislative process.

None the less as a true believer in social engineering schemes Max was a solid vote Yea. And now that it’s passed, he’s out there full bore spouting what we’ve pretty much known all along. The Democratic Party is full of people like Baucus. It’s full of far left useful idiots.

Need proof? This is a quote directly from Mr. Baucus.

Too often, much of late, the last couple three years, the mal-distribution of income in American is gone up way too much, the wealthy are getting way, way too wealthy and the middle income class is left behind, Wages have not kept up with increased income of the highest income in America. This legislation will have the effect of addressing that mal-distribution of income in America.”

Fury cannot even come close to describing my reaction to this pandering jack ass of a Senator

I’m still trying to wrap my head around his words…I really am, and I just can’t do it.

Are people like Baucus really just so deluded, so arrogant as to actually think that they have some divine right to decree who in this country makes too much or not enough? Just because they were elected? Really?

Guess the time for the socialist infecting the Democratic party shading their true colors is over.

I never really wanted to be “rich” just comfortable and secure in my life, but I sure don’t now though. Not with idiots like Max painting a target on one’s back simply because they’ve been successful, in the guise of some sort of bullshit ideal about “social justice”. Pathetic.

I don’t write much anymore, these are just random thoughts that I have had since the Health Care bill passed, and on most days it seems futile to rail against the Federal government and it’s supporters.

I don’t know how we got here, this past 10+ years have been like watching a train wreck called the Fedball-Express (no insult to the actual company by a similar name intended) that just wont go away, yet gets ever worse as time goes on.

If it’s not the Republicans throwing money around like drunken sailors, the Democrats not to be out done, take it to even greater extremes.

I’m in my mid 40’s now, so maybe I pay more attention, but growing up and even into my late 20’s it seems to me we had a Federal Government, but it was in DC, back then in Ohio, and on to other places I lived, it might as well have been on the Moon I guess. Maybe I was too busy trying to make my own way in the world to notice it.

I knew it did things like manage the EPA, and send our Military where it was needed to go, I was part of that same Military under both Regan, & Bush and then Clinton.

There was this abstract notion of taxes, but we all had to pay them and people didn’t seem to think about them like they do now. We didn’t always like the taxes I guess, but it wasn’t to the point people took to the streets in protest. The Federal Government was there, but it never seemed to touch our lives in the ways it has started to this last 2 decades. To me I guess it started more or less with Clinton.

None the less, I’ve more or less resigned myself to the fact that the Health care bill passed, the Federal government will take over health care, & we will loose another part of our freedoms. To me, it really comes as no surprise the Dem’s got their way, not when nearly half the country STILL approves of the job Obama is doing. And foolishly instead of thinking things though that same half of the country handed the entire economy, and the future of this nation to the feel good rhetoric of the snake oil salesmen over the last 4 years.

They wanted to teach those “republicans” a lesson. I guess they did. They wanted “change” I guess they got it.

Personally I expect I will see my health care costs and taxes rise significantly, I don’t believe for one second anything these people in DC are saying….

I’ll have to give up yet more of my life’s work & liberty in the interest of “social justice” so that others get a “fair chance” or at least that’s what Obama and his cohorts seem to want me to believe.

Obama said once words to the effect that “we all have to have some skin in this game”. Sorry no sale.

It’s not out of a sense of selfishness that I say that, but rather, simply put, I’ve had my skin in the game now almost 30 years, since I was only 15 working my 1st job. I’ve paid taxes, I’ve paid SSI, I’ve paid and paid..now they want more “skin”. Fact of the matter is, I don’t have much more “skin” to give.

Sometimes I wonder if these people in DC and on down the through the states and local governments just fail to realize that someone making average wages and average incomes just can’t afford the never ending array of additional taxes to fund their projects and wish lists.

I’ve long pondered the disconnect between me and my Federal Government, It’s almost like the political class are well off, and they truly think that is how everyone should be or even is, they see the world, and the country through a prism of their own successes and they think that is how it is for millions of us out there. Fact is they are way off the mark. They aren’t even in the ball park.

And I guess maybe if you’re Nancy Pelosi or Harry Reid with net worth’s in the millions, paying more taxes doesn’t hurt nearly as much as it does the rest of us “common folk”. I think they just don’t understand that at all.

A more bitter thought is, that in fact, yes, they do know. They know damn well what it’s like for the middle class, and they simply do not care. Their agendas and their ideals, their thirst for power, and their dirty backroom deals to keep that power trump all else. They’ll lie to us and tell us how great our lives will be if they just get their agendas enacted…But in reality, They want us all dependent on the largess of the Federal Government, far more easy to control us that way.

And the in the end …the sum of it all…As this bill takes effect it’s highly likely the Federal government is going to make it just that much harder for me, my family, and millions of other middle class Americans to make ends meet.

We are told by the shrills on TV, and these people in DC that we are on the eve of a “sweeping reform” of the US Health-care system. It will be the eve of a new era of “American progress’ as the left is wont to hype, affordable and cheap health insurance for the masses. Prove it. I’m not buying.

The powers to be continue to crow about how great this reform will be, even with reports surfacing to the contrary, across a wide range of sources, that this bill will not cost what it was advertised as, but considerably more. But hey, that’s yet to be proven, so in the spirit of being a hard working American, lets just be neutral or attempt to be and ignore that part….and focus on what we know to be true. And what is true is the simple fact that the Federal government has a poor track record when it comes to management of …well almost everything.

Social Security is broke…raided by these same people that are selling us this “health-care reform”.
Our VA hospitals are a mess….ask any vet like me, most of us, unless desperate, wont go near the places.
Amtrak is bleeding red ink…
The US Postal service looses billions…and still cant seem to do half the job as Fed-Ex or UPS.
Billions in wasted funds for “No Child left behind” and still …Our schools are a joke….
Billions spent for “welfare for the needy” and still 1/3 of our population wallows in poverty, and the inner cities grow worse…
The IRS is drowning in red Ink…and still tax compliance cost this economy hundreds of billions every year.
Our federal courts are a joke…yet child predators and other psycho paths are running wild, our children preyed on like game.
We’re trillions of dollars in the hole as a country for Federal programs already underwater….and still they keep adding more debt.

Need I go on?

If an Obama supporter or a even an honest Democrat can come on here and point to ONE system the government runs that isn’t bleeding gallons of red ink, that is half efficient as a private run firm or facility, I’d sure feel a whole lot better about them running health care. Trouble is they can’t. It simply doesn’t exist.

It’s been over a year of wheeling, dealing, & shady political tricks in D.C. and it’s all come down to this point.

The Democrats are feeling “giddy” about things.

Really; did a elected statesman in our hallowed halls of government really say they were “giddy”? How quaint.

Perhaps that’s the whole problem with our nation today is that, we’re “giddy”……we’ve elected a bunch of ruffled pantie wearing school girls to run the country, rather than honest statesmen.
They “feel” more than they actually think.

The electorate is part to blame…seems the entire country has become nothing but “feelings” on the issues that face our country rather than being able to think critically. One only need to browse any of the comments on just about any new site to see the “feelings” on display.

Of course, the conservatives are “feeling” too…. feeling outrage.

No-one seems to knows how many people were in D.C. to protest this latest governmental decree, 10’s of thousands? But there was certainly outrage and anger out there, and it’s not going away any time soon from the looks of things.

The headlines are full of things like protesters hurling racial invectives and threats at elected officials, and of course not to be outdone, sneering jackass officials like Hastings (D) Florida, sarcastically snarling to the Republicans “the minority party knows what the country wants”.

And we grow more divided than ever despite the promises of this man in the the white house to the contrary.

Eve of a new era for America …Or maybe it’s the eve of an all out hot war against the entrenched political class in D.C. and their supporters?

RCP Polls show 60+ percent of the country says were heading in the wrong direction, & more disapprove of Obama than approve for the first time since his election. It varies by poll but as I mentioned above Americans STILL even after this boondoggle support this guy nearly by half. Madness.

Even worse is the congressional approval ratings and the fact that 68% of the respondents in a recent FOX news poll say they want to clean house and remove every current elected official in DC….that’s just two or three set of polls…some seriously bad numbers flying around out there but the DC Establishment , Pelosi, Reid, Obama, Graham, ….all of them Republican and Democrat alike seem oblivious. What’s it going to take, for these people to wake the hell up, blood shed?

And it might yet come down to that, Seems to me that it is only going to take one spark, an unruly crowd at a town hall, A Capitol Policeman with a nervous trigger finger, a whack job out there with a gun… a politician or one of their staff will get hurt, the Federal government will react badly ….and it will start. 10 elected officials reported death threats?… stop and think, that’s only what they reported, who knows how many of them are under threat of violence, at this stage, it wouldn’t surprise me that 90% of those senators and congressmen are in the cross hairs…The cracks are showing.

BAH!!

If I hear one more person accusing those of us that oppose this monstrosity called Health-Care reform of being “callous” “uncaring” (insert the insult of your choice here _________), one more time I swear I am going to punch someone in the face.

The whole mantra goes like this: “You’re selfish because you don’t want poor people to have health-care!” Or the ever popular “only a greedy conservative (I’ve noticed that on most forums…pointy headed posters seem to somehow think they get bonus points for skewing the spelling and making it “KKKonservative”) would deny those less fortunate than themselves health care!” “Only a racist would deny others Health-Care!” and on and on the litany goes.

So okay I’ll play the insult game with the liberals, and be all the nasty things they claim I am for refusing to hand over my very personal health care choices, not to mention a good chunk of my salary to some faceless donkey’s ass in Washington D.C.

You’re right my hysterical little friend….I DON’T CARE!!! I’M SELFISH!!

You want to know why I don’t care? Why I am so selfish? Well let me tell you why.

I started my Work life almost 30 years ago. You want to know what I was doing?

I was an orderly in a Nursing Home. I emptied fouled bedpans and cleaned shit off of the sheets and grandma, when grandma lost control of her bowels.
I cleaned up the puke and the blood and the urine when that was needed to be done too.
I watched old people die, alone, heartbroken, forgotten by the world.

From there I went onto the arcane art of morticians assistant. I’ve been in a morgue with the dead, helping to embalm them for burial, I’ve watched the mortician slide the embalming rods into their bellies and break up their internal organs and watched a pump as it sucked out the body fluids….. as a 17 year kid. (You do know that they do that don’t you? No? Watch an embalming someday..it’s a real screamer of a time let me tell you.)

Miraculously I never did end up in a fast food joint….Perish the thought.

Facing 18, and realizing I was going no where in life at breakneck speed, I decided it was time for a change. I joined the Navy.

So yeah, back then I was part of government controlled health care and I saw the best and worst of it all for 10 years. Being so young I had little use for it, but I did, at times, use it, and every single time I did, I seemingly ended up worse off then when I went in for whatever ailment I was seeking treatment for.

Now they want me to come back to that three ring circus? I don’t think so sparky.

When I left the Navy, I went with a private company with good benefits, and I still am to this day working for yet another private company with decent benefits.

Not making much money back then, I worked other jobs on the side. One job was unloading semis, lousy wages, long hot hours on a loading dock and back breaking work. But I did it.

I also worked on a Horse Farm in exchange for room and board during those first few years out of the military. I shoveled horse manure and mucked out urine soaked horse stalls at 4 am in freezing ass cold, and stifling heat. I’ve been bit, kicked, and stepped on, by horses so many times I lost count. But I did it. Go on call me a “red-neck” Because I am I’ve worked throwing hay into a barn or mending fences until the sun burned my neck to a crisp…I wear the moniker proudly.

I’ve watched the government pillage my check for Social Security which I will never see, I’ve seen them take 20% and more of my earnings, and then HALF of my hourly wages when I dared to work overtime in an effort to make my lot in life better….and now?…Now they want more. More Taxes, more health insurance costs, more, more, more. In short they are going to redistribute my wealth, what little I have scratched out thus far that is.. to others.

Nay!! I won’t stand for it!! It’s not theirs to give!!

So why don’t I care if someone else doesn’t have the same access to Health Care that I do?

Because I bleeping EARNED it that’s why.

I’ve worked my fingers to the bone in my life time, I’ve done probably some of the worst jobs in the world, and I scratched, clawed, and fought to get to the level I am today.

No-One handed me a job, A 401k, A college education, A Health Care plan…..I went out in the world and I EARNED THEM. I’ve paid my taxes, I’ve given to my fellow man, I’ve done my part. I’ve paid my dues as an American both in taxes and blood…..I will do NO MORE!

Until anyone that DARES accuse me of being selfish can point at someone …just one person out there that has worked as hard and a diligently in life as I have to overcome the odds, that has made the sacrifices in life that I have, that has busted their tail as I have to succeed in life, that hasn’t mewled and pissed and moaned about how they are being mistreated….. yet somehow just hasn’t made it….I don’t want to hear it.

Chances are you’re going to find it hard to find such a person in America. The fact remains America IS the land of opportunity…those that try succeed, those that don’t fail. It is that simple.

A true American takes one thing to heart. And that one thing is “Failure is not an option.”

Anyone else calling themselves an American that believes otherwise, that somehow it’s okay to fail because of the color of ones skin, or whatever other qualifier should give them special status over another American…is not a true American, they are a fraud, an impostor…. a dime store cowboy wannabe.

Yes! You’re right!! I simply don’t care. Because one simple fact in all the hysteria over health care and the “30 million suffering with out it” is this, of those 30 million probably less than 1 or 2 % of them are actually people that for whatever reason are truly in need, the rest of them are illegals, moochers, slackers, and free loaders and yeah they can go screw themselves….with a rusty nail embedded 2×4. I owe them nor any pandering jack ass in a suit from D.C. NOTHING.

Bottom line to all you bleeding hearts crying about the poor, about the minority flavor of the week, about whatever victim group is your cup of tea….is simply this:

I nor do millions of Americans like me owe the black man, the red man, the yellow man, the white man, or for that matter the man in the white house a damn thing…. they owe it themselves to make their own way in America.

And by the way? I don’t owe YOU anything either my bleeding heart friend …Election of your Poser in Chief and your so called “mandate” be damned.

Take note…and try to take that “something” by force at your peril… for I will not submit.

October 2nd, 2009 by TNM

After a 2 month hiatus, I’ve come back to TNMilitant to write again.

I took this time off from blogging for various reasons but one was to distance myself from the political scene, to step outside the ring and view the fight as a spectator.

During that time I worked, but I also traveled some, I spent some time in my beloved adopted state of TN and I reflected heavily on today’s political climate.

That I spend a majority of my time overseas, it is sometimes difficult to put a finger on the true pulse of the political scene, living abroad as I do, 99% of the information sources I have are online, I don’t have the advantage of living among my country men, which in turn poses a risk of a biased opinion towards my government. That’s not to say I am an expert in all things political, I am not.

So Rather than continue blogging unabated this past two months, a thought occurred to me that maybe it was time to step back and look at things a little more, that perhaps my views on our current system of government were becoming lopsided, that perhaps it was time to step back and re-look at a wide horizon of events and then return to the TNMilitant.

“After all” I asked myself, “how bad can things actually be back home?”

The answer to that as I see it, unfortunately, is simply…. it’s bad and getting worse.

After being home and taking time to mull things over; As I see it, the political divide in the country has worsened, to epic levels. It is a cancer eating at the republic and like any cancer unchecked it will destroy it’s host.

The election of a hard left government in the past two years, by people that seemingly either just don’t care enough about liberty to protect it, those blathering about how we need to “change” those who relish their free handouts, welfare, and the ever increasing role of the Federal government in their every day lives, or whom just don’t seem to be informed very well, has put the country on a collision course with itself.

Those same hard left politicians and their supporters that swept to power are now actively engaging in an all out assault on the Constitution and the principles on which this country was founded.

Obama was touted as the great Uniter…millions swallowed that rhetoric, and now are regretting it because, sadly that is anything but the case. Obama has divided the country into two clearly defined camps, Socialist leaning and those that refuse to accept the ever increasing role of the federal government in their every days lives. It has created such a divide between fully half of the citizens and the elite political class that the most overwhelming reaction out there is outright disgust. This is dangerous water. I reflect back to one of the original tea party events where one protester carried a sign that read “We came unarmed….this time.” And I have to ask myself, “how long will that last”?

I was simply stunned at the levels of anger I encountered this past few weeks, this isn’t a joke, it’s a living breathing groundswell of outright hatred of our government and it is growing. Say what you will about Obama and this legislative branch, but in my memory I’ve never seen such hatred. The hard left hated Bush make no mistake, they were vocal about it, but this is different. This isn’t fringe groups like Move-On or other socialist activists, this is everyday ordinary Americans rising up in utter disgust and disdain.

Recently, The Speaker of the house, Nancy Pelosi became emotional, siting she was concerned that the levels of rhetoric have reached such ugliness that she fears violence will ensue, for once; Nancy hit the nail on the head.

But I have to question her, “Why do you think this is Nancy?” Is it because as Jimmy Carter babbled Americans don’t like a black man in the white house? Or as the ever ridiculous Maurene Dowd from the NYT’s claims we’re all just a bunch of racists?

I think not. In reality and what those in power right now seem to just not understand is simply that Americans will never accept the sneering contempt of the like of Harry Ried and Nancy Pelosi, they’ve called people “teabaggers”, outright tried to discard their concerns, treated them like subjects rather than citizens and worse, so no one is moved by Nancy’s faux tears.

In fact, they see them as a sham, a farce. The democrats lied and have been caught in those same lies so many times that the electorate by some counts, fully 60+% of it, have lost all faith in our elected representatives and hold an increasingly negative view of the government we elected.

As I see it…The average American wants to be left alone, to succeed or fail as he may, his health-care untouched, his taxes unrevised, his cost of living reasonable. That’s not happening, in fact the current government seems hell bent on controlling an every larger role in peoples lives, of taking as much freedom and money as they possibly can from Americans.

Americans don’t want that sort of change, although it is said you get the government you vote for, I don’t think a majority of the people that voted for this President or these members of the House and Senate truly believed they would have the gall to force a socialist agenda like they have thus far, many of them are left angry and reeling with frustration and the broken promises that seem to pile up by the day.

Sadly, I have to give credit were credit is due, Obama partially told us his agenda, and thinking conservatives connected the dots, his words, his background, his own writings weren’t adding up, and we ultimately rejected it. However millions of middle of the road so called “moderate” types waffled. That waffling is going to hurt them badly now.

The country was unhappy under Bush, but now finds itself even more unhappy Under Obama. Why is this?

Those that voted for Obama wanted change did they not? Maybe the change they were thinking was going to happen isn’t. Maybe the unhappiness stems from the fact that the changes that are happening are not what they signed up for. There were people from every political and ethnic background out there you could find, whom voted FOR Obama and their not happy….are they now magically “racists” too?

In simple words..this has nothing to do with Race Creed or Color, it has EVERYTHING to do however, with the Federal Government’s trampling of our constitutional rights. It has everything to do with our taxpayer dollars being burned in a furnace of corruption and worthless spending. It has to do with people watching in horror videos of a government supported entity like ACORN supporting child sex exploitation. It has to do with the liberal’s like Nancy Pelosi unmitigated gall to mock millions of hardworking Americans concerns and calling them “astroturf” and “Un-American”.

The implications are clear from this Speaker and her lapdogs in both chambers as well as the media, you’re not a true American unless you march lock step with her agenda. To a lot of Americans, having any type of agenda forced on them is going to garner backlash. That’s who we as Americans are.

Racism keeps festering, and those flames are fanned yet again by the leftists like Pelosi, Reid, Durban, Jimmy Carter and others. Tens of thousands of Americans marched on Washington D.C. recently, to protest the current course of this country, and thousands showed up at town halls across this nation to display their disgust with the elected officials, how can the far left leaning political class in power even think of claiming that has anything at all to do with racism? All of those protesters were white? I doubt that very much.

Adding to the outrage and frustration; The MSM is largely viewed as in the tank with this crop of corrupt jackals in D.C. largely ignored their efforts. So what & who speaks for millions of average Americans now? No-One, and that is a breeding ground for mistrust and out right hatred of the government.

We’ve made a grave mistake this past 2 and a half years, although in the average voters defense, the GOP did and continues to do little to garner continued support with debacles like Mark Foley, A spend! spend! spend! mindset, two wars with no clear end game, and “Democratic Lite” governance, all added up to send the GOP packing.

Let’s hope those mistakes by the GOP don’t end up costing us more than a little “change”.

I find it ironic that In the 1950’s the country went under the same assault, Communists infested the halls of our government, it was coined the “red scare”. The liberal press poo-pooed the very idea, and charged people like Joe McCarthy with being a traitor, funny, after those archives were recently brought to public light we find out…he was right. What will they find in archives 50 years from now?

In truth, I see no difference now, since Obama has appointed not one but an entire administration infested with self avowed socialists. Van Jones, although now resigned, and others are on record clearly stating they are avowed socialist. I think that in 50 years we very well may reflect back as a nation and shake our head in dismay at what happened in America and how dangerously close we came to destroying the vision our founding fathers laid out for us.

Change is coming to America alright, and it’s called socialism, it is directly in opposition to what millions of Americans everywhere believe in and a freedom loving people will not lie down meekly for this. Let’s hope Nancy Pelosi is wrong and it doesn’t result in bloodshed.

As I browsed through blogs, the news etc, I kept looking for information on the Coupe in Honduras, and the White house Kremlin reaction to it.
I fully expected Obambo to stick his foot in it once again, and predictably like the sun rises in the East, and right on cue heeeeer’s Barak!!
Well that didn’t take long I guess.

Obama came right out and said he denounced the overthrow of the Honduran president. Well that would be just swell 0-bamai except for one, well two little things:

1. The Honduran President Violated the Honduran Constitution

2. The Honduran President’s attempt to ram rod this was overruled by the Honduran Supreme court.

Yet the leader of the free world *gak* refused to support the Honduran people when they demanded that their elected President adhere to the Honduran Constitution.

Nice Obama, tell me, did you ever see a Constitution, ANY constitution you DID want upheld? I mean we know you don’t give a furry rat’s ass about ours, that much is now painfully obvious to all but the most mentally defective, but come on work with me here, Just ONE..?

Really, I’d like to see it, because not only do you routinely piss all over ours in your quest for remolding a country into whatever your arrogant over pampered terrorist coddling ass thinks is should be, now you’re off upholding two bit tin pot screw balls like this Honduran president that ran so afoul of his countries constitution they… forcefully removed him?

Jesus on a pogostick, can’t you do ANY thing right??

How in the blue fuck did you get elected in the first place? Oh right, ACORN and 52% of the country on Prozac or stoned to the gills watching American Idol, silly me, I forgot.

What; Maybe you’re a little worried ? Are you getting a little nagging feeling now that if it happened in Honduras, that maybe, just maybe, it could happen here?

And it should, you and that sorry excuse for a administration, and your cohorts in the house and Senate should be run out of DC at the end of a pitch fork.
Far as I’m concerned, it can’t happen fast enough.
Moron.

Here are some sobering numbers to read in direct opposition of the CBO, what the Media is reporting, and EPA’s, warm fuzzy rhetoric, of the C/T bill amounting to *only* the price of a “postage stamp per day”:

My congressional District, already well below national median income will see on average, a Cap and Trade cost of living increase, of 500.00 dollars a year. In my neck of the woods, that’s a death knell for almost every small business owner in the area who already live on razor thin profit margins.

That’s a “stamp” costing well over a dollar per day.

We’ll let the “inconvenient truth” slide for a second that this once again makes Barak Hussein Obama A liar. Oh screw it, ignoring the obvious won’ make it go away.

Barak Huessien Obama is a two faced, backstabbing, snake in the grass LIAR.

And I quote…”95% of Americans will receive a tax cut”

LIES, DAMN LIES, AND MORE LIES, You can’t defend it, you can’t justify it, you can’t deny it. Those are his EXACT words, yet this Cap and Trade tax doesn’t target some bogey man “fat cat rich white guy”, this tax doesn’t target the evil Haliburton KBR, Dick Cheney Cabal, it doesn’t target rich liberals in NYC and LA.

IT TARGETS YOU OBAMA VOTER.

500.00 Dollar electric bill just arrived? Little unsure just how you’re going to come up with that money?

How’s that feel pal? Not so good does it? Already out of work? Can’t pay the Electric bill this month, you better brace yourself, come 6 months from now you’ll be choosing between having electric for hot water and food for your children. You think the Utilities companies aren’t going to start hijacking rates early to protect themselves from this bullshit? No? You better think again.

Which incidentally, who is the nit wit mouth breathing moron that came up with that stamp a day garbage? I haven’t mailed a bill in over a decade, I pay everything including the US Governments extortion money, AKA taxes, online. My Parents as old fashioned as they may be, don’t use stamps much anymore, they have a computer, if they do it, I’m pretty sure 90% of Americans out there don’t buy a whole lot of stamps these days either. What alternate reality is that government drone living in?

Why do these lying weasels insist on trying to paint ‘purty pictures’ for the masses, and in doing so directly insult their intelligence? I wish I was standing with in striking range of that one, I really do, watching them pick their teeth up would give me great joy.

Alas, on to those numbers I mentioned, read em and weep…..This study was done by two PhD level Economists. And it appears on the Heritage Foundations Website

Link 1

Link 2

The Bill has passed the house, and is heading to the Senate. If this passes, we should be in the streets, armed to the teeth and looking for blood, enough is enough.

Sadly, as I watch the destruction of my homeland in utter dismay, my voice silenced, I lean ever closer and closer to the Militant. I think many Americans feel likewise, many are becoming unwilling to accept this governments actions, tolerate their abuses, nor will they continue to succumb to their vile agendas one more day.

It is an ever increasing worry, a nagging doubt that says; A point is rapidly being reached where negotiation and debate is no longer a viable alternative, we have no voice.

How many million Americans do not agree with the agenda being shoved down our throats by Obama and less than 1000 elected officials political elites, yet they refuse to listen?

So now, who are you going to believe?

(Strangely when I ask a Obama Supporter that very question, I get huffy nonsensical rhetoric).

Al Gore, with his souped up Power Point slide show and his claws in the carbon offset swindle, making him a wealthy man?

A political appointee of Obama’s in the CBO?

Another political appointee of Obama’s in the EPA?

Or the reality, the fact global warming is a farce, a myth concocted by radical environmentalists and Marxists?

In the end the “stamp a day” mentality is exactly what is wrong with our government, they have no qualms, none what so ever, of slapping additional burdens on the American people, they simply poo-poo it away with lofty rhetoric, and they refuse to understand that they are not by the constitution allowed to do so, they have no Legal right to do so, yet they do.

I have a choice to buy stamps, I choose not to, but with this bill I have no choice and sooner or later, when too many choices are taken away form the American people, there will be a reckoning, and I fear it will be bloody.

UPDATE **

The Bobo Files digs thru this abortion of a bill, and finds out, low income earners will get money, cash, shekles, call it what you will, placed directly into their bank accounts via the bill.

Worked and paid your electrical bills? Uncle Sam is going to take that money, and give it to the “poor”. In Cold hard Cash.

This has been making the rounds across the blog-o-sphere, I found it over at The Liberty Zone

The DC crowd should take heed, tea parties, 53 year old grandmothers, it matters not, the people own this country…not the half wits in DC and their flunkies in the Media…

Hello Mr. Obama? Congress? Are you listening ?!? I think you damn well  better…

I’m a home grown American citizen, 53, registered Democrat all my life. Before the last presidential election I registered as a Republican because I no longer felt the Democratic Party represents my views or works to pursue issues important to me.

Now I no longer feel the Republican Party represents my views or works to pursue issues important to me. The fact is I no longer feel any political party or representative in Washington represents my views or works to pursue the issues important to me. There must be someone. Please tell me who you are. Please stand up and tell me that you are there and that you’re willing to fight for our Constitution as it was written. Please stand up now. You might ask yourself what my views and issues are that I would horribly feel so disenfranchised by both major political parties. What kind of nut job am I? Will you please tell me?

Well, these are briefly my views and issues for which I seek representation:

One, illegal immigration. I want you to stop coddling illegal immigrants and secure our borders. Close the underground tunnels. Stop the violence and the trafficking in drugs and people. No amnesty, not again. Been there, done that, no resolution. P.S., I’m not a racist. This isn’t to be confused with legal immigration.

Two, the TARP bill, I want it repealed and I want no further funding supplied to it. We told you no, but you did it anyway. I want the remaining unfunded 95% repealed. Freeze, repeal.

Three: Czars, I want the circumvention of our checks and balances stopped immediately. Fire the czars. No more czars. Government officials answer to the process, not to the president. Stop trampling on our Constitution and honor it.

Four, cap and trade. The debate on global warming is not over. There is more to say.

Five, universal healthcare. I will not be rushed into another expensive decision. Don’t you dare try to pass this in the middle of the night and then go on break. Slow down!

Six, growing government control. I want states rights and sovereignty fully restored. I want less government in my life, not more. Shrink it down. Mind your own business. You have enough to take care of with your real obligations. Why don’t you start there.

Seven, ACORN. I do not want ACORN and its affiliates in charge of our 2010 census. I want them investigated. I also do not want mandatory escrow fees contributed to them every time on every real estate deal that closes. Stop the funding to ACORN and its affiliates pending impartial audits and investigations. I do not trust them with taking the census over with our taxpayer money. I don’t trust them with our taxpayer money. Face up to the allegations against them and get it resolved before taxpayers get any more involved with them. If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, hello. Stop protecting your political buddies. You work for us, the people. Investigate.

Eight, redistribution of wealth. No, no, no. I work for my money. It is mine. I have always worked for people with more money than I have because they gave me jobs. That is the only redistribution of wealth that I will support. I never got a job from a poor person. Why do you want me to hate my employers? Why ?? what do you have against shareholders making a profit?

Nine, charitable contributions. Although I never got a job from a poor person, I have helped many in need. Charity belongs in our local communities, where we know our needs best and can use our local talent and our local resources. Butt out, please. We want to do it ourselves.

Ten, corporate bailouts. Knock it off. Sink or swim like the rest of us. If there are hard times ahead, we’ll be better off just getting into it and letting the strong survive. Quick and painful. Have you ever ripped off a Band?Aid? We will pull together. Great things happen in America under great hardship. Give us the chance to innovate. We cannot disappoint you more than you have disappointed us.

Eleven, transparency and accountability. How about it? No, really, how about it? Let’s have it. Let’s say we give the buzzwords a rest and have some straight honest talk. Please try ?? please stop manipulating and trying to appease me with clever wording. I am not the idiot you obviously take me for. Stop sneaking around and meeting in back rooms making deals with your friends. It will only be a prelude to your criminal investigation. Stop hiding things from me.

Twelve, unprecedented quick spending. Stop it now.

Take a breath. Listen to the people. Let’s just slow down and get some input from some non-politicians on the subject. Stop making everything an emergency. Stop speed reading our bills into law.

I am not an activist. I am not a community organizer. Nor am I a terrorist, a militant or a violent person. I am a parent and a grandparent. I work. I’m busy. I’m busy. I am busy, and I am tired. I thought we elected competent people to take care of the business of government so that we could work, raise our families, pay our bills, have a little recreation, complain about taxes, endure our hardships, pursue our personal goals, cut our lawn, wash our cars on the weekends and be responsible contributing members of society and teach our children to be the same all while living in the home of the free and land of the brave.

I entrusted you with upholding the Constitution. I believed in the checks and balances to keep from getting far off course.

What happened?

You are very far off course. Do you really think I find humor in the hiring of a speed reader to unintelligently ramble all through a bill that you signed into law without knowing what it contained? I do not. It is a mockery of the responsibility I have entrusted to you. It is a slap in the face. I am not laughing at your arrogance.

Why is it that I feel as if you would not trust me to make a single decision about my own life and how I would live it but you should expect that I should trust you with the debt that you have laid on all of us and our children. We did not want the TARP bill. We said no. We would repeal it if we could. I am sure that we still cannot. There is such urgency and recklessness in all of the recent spending.

From my perspective, it seems that all of you have gone insane. I also know that I am far from alone in these feelings. Do you honestly feel that your current pursuits have merit to patriotic Americans? We want it to stop. We want to put the brakes on everything that is being rushed by us and forced upon us.

We want our voice back.

You have forced us to put our lives on hold to straighten out the mess that you are making. We will have to give up our vacations, our time spent with our children, any relaxation time we may have had and money we cannot afford to spend on you to bring our concerns to Washington.

Our president often knows all the right buzzword[s and the latest] is ‘unsustainable’. Well, no kidding! How many tens of thousands of dollars did the focus group cost to come up with that word? We don’t want your overpriced words.

Stop treating us like we’re morons.

We want all of you to stop focusing on your reelection and do the job we want done, not the job you want done or the job your party wants done. You work for us and at this rate I guarantee you—not for long—because we are coming.

We will be heard and we will be represented. You think we’re so busy with our lives that we will never come for you? We are the formerly silent majority, all of us who quietly work, pay taxes, obey the law, vote, save money, keep our noses to the grindstone and we are now looking up at you.

You have awakened us, the patriotic spirit so strong and so powerful that it had been sleeping too long. You have pushed us too far. Our numbers are great. They may surprise you. For every one of us who will be there, there will be hundreds more that could not come. Unlike you, we have their trust.

We will represent them honestly, rest assured. They will be at the polls on voting day to usher you out of office. We have cancelled vacations. We will use our last few dollars saved. We will find the representation among us and a grassroots campaign will flourish.

We didn’t ask for this fight. But the gloves are coming off. We do not come in violence, but we are angry. You will represent us or you will be replaced with someone who will. There are candidates among us when hewill rise like a Phoenix from the ashes that you have made of our constitution.

Democrat, Republican, independent, libertarian. Understand this. We don’t care. Political parties are meaningless to us. Patriotic Americans are willing to do right by us and our Constitution and that is all that matters to us now.

We are going to fire all of you who abuse power and seek more. It is not your power. It is ours and we want it back.

We entrusted you with it and you abused it. You are dishonorable. You are dishonest. As Americans we are ashamed of you. You have brought shame to us. If you are not representing the wants and needs of your constituency loudly and consistently, in spite of the objections of your party, you will be fired.

Did you hear? We no longer care about your political parties. You need to be loyal to us, not to them. Because we will get you fired and they will not save you.

If you do or can represent me, my issues, my views, please stand up. Make your identity known. You need to make some noise about it. Speak up. I need to know who you are.

If you do not speak up, you will be herded out with the rest of the sheep and we will replace the whole damn congress if need be one by one.

We are coming. Are we coming for you? Who do you represent? What do you represent? Listen. Because we are coming.

We the people are coming.

Obama is a liar. But we know that don’t we?

But to add further proof,  he most certainly will be if he signs the Cap and Trade bill now making it’s way through the legislative branch.

Drafted by far left liberal H.Waxman (D) of where else, *sigh* California, and pushed by the radical environmentalist lobby the bill is one of Obama’s centerpiece campaign platforms, and is now being forced onto the American people by the liberals communists in the house and senate.

This bill is estimated by some to add up to a staggering 30% increase in over all energy bills for ALL Americans from every walk of life.

I would imagine the American Idol crowd will be quite upset when they see their electric bills go through the roof I’m sure, but typically, a dumbed down electorate, with the attention span of a retarded chipmunk will not blame Obama and his cronies. That wouldn’t be politically correct!

Instead they’ll scream about “greedy Utility companies”, and “greedy CEO’s” and how “UNNNNFAIR” it all is.

Screw em, I hope they  freeze.

“What did you just say?!?!?” you ask?

I hope they freeze. Screw ‘em, If Wanda Sykes can get up on national TV and say she hopes Rush has a kidney failure, then I can hope people like her freeze.

And I do, I hope her ass turns to a chocolate Popsicle. I’m done playing nice with idiotic Americans like her that can’t think for themselves but let retards like Keith Olberman and Chris Matthews tell them how to vote. Or worse yet vote the race card…Screw em’. You people that voted for this mouth breathing retard are every bit as stupid as he is, all of you.

I’m I being to0 harsh for you? Did I offend you, did I hurt your feelings? Outraged?  TOUGH!!

Here let me spell it out for you ….pay attention.

This isn’t a “tax on the rich”.

This isn’t a “tax on greedy capitalist corporate America”

This isn’t a “tax on Capital Gains on rich Wall Street tycoons”

This “Cap and Trade” is just a fancy way of saying T-A-X And that is what makes Barak Hussein Obama a bold face liar. He is on record loud and clear stating that there would be “tax cuts for 95% of America”.

“But-But he gave us rebates!!”…You sputter, Sure did, and This Cap and Trade bill  is nothing more than “Give a little with one hand and then take more with other”, meaning he’s nothing more than a typical greasy politician. A liar.

And you bought off on it, he gave you 13 measly dollars a week. Now he is going to slam you with an cost in energy increase, a  TAX,  that will stagger your budget, make paying your bills harder, make you work yet longer hours, and sacrifice more of your time that could have been spent with your family, just to keep up. Happy now?

I have to wonder about the one woman caught on camera gushing how she wouldn’t have to worry any more about things like filling her tank with Obama getting elected, How’s that working out for you? Still thinking “I’m not going to have to worry no more about how to put gas in my tank or pay my mortgage”?

If you are you’re dumber than a box of hammers.

Aren’t you proud of your vote?  Congratulations.

Newsflash: This is a tax on you Joe “It’s time for Change” America.

Congratulations, you voted this Communist empty suit into the White House, now you reap the rewards.

Too bad I have to suffer along with you. Thanks for that.

Enjoy those Tax “rebates” of 13 dollars a week (which BTW expire soon) and your electric bill is going to be 400.00 dollars a month.

Still can’t quite do all those big numbers and come up with the very clear conclusion that Obama just taxed you when he signs this bill into law? Here let me help you…

Lets say your electric bill is now 200.00 and it goes up 30% That is a 60.00 dollar increase in just your electric bill, those with Natural Gas or Heating Oil will get hit even harder. But for the sake of argument lets say you heat your home with electric.

Your rebate was 52 dollars a month. You just lost 8 dollars a month, soon to be the full 60 because those tax cuts are going to expire.

But Guess what? Cap and Trade doesn’t expire..Lets say you live in TN like I do, and TVA is now buying these Cap and Trade credits, they aren’t going to eat that cost Joe, they are going to pass that to Y-O-U and every other customer on their grid.That makes it a Tax. Call it whatever you want, you can’t polish a turd.

So now your electric bill is 260.00  a month. You’re not using any more electricity, in fact you might even use less to try to keep that bill under control. What did you get in return for that additional 60 dollars? Nothing that’s what.

If you can’t see this for what it is you are stupid. It is a massive  tax on EVERY AMERICAN, rich, poor and in between, and its not the utilities companies fault, it’s not some CEO of the local Power company making this call, It is Obama and his commie cronies in the house and Senate. And that makes it a tax. There’s no other way to say it.

Tell me Obamaphiles, How many middle class families in WI, MI, OH, and other Northern states are going to shiver through next winter because they cannot afford to heat their homes? If you voted for this ..I hope you feel good about it….and I hope you freeze.

Me, I have to go split some firewood, it promises to be a long cold winter again this year….

Although my posting has slowed considerably these days, it’s mostly because I’m ever more unable to write anything without flying into a profanity laced tirade directed at this collection of Marxist  morons called  Obama and his cabinet.

No I’m not joking, the revulsion and disgust I feel at those running this country to ruin, and the all too willing accomplices in the press is bordering on pure unadulterated hatred.

None the less I still lurk the web and maintain my daily visits to various blogs, And as always the author of “Taxes-Stupidity-And Death” has some great things to say.

I have to admit I draw a lot of inspiration from the “Imperial Consigliere” and this post is a home run.

It’s good to know one is not a lone voice in the wilderness some days. Now go read, shoo!

Hold Fast

Great Job BlackisWhite.

How far have America’s citizens sunk into the morass of EDS (Entitlement Derangement Syndrome, yes I ripped that off of the old Bush Derangement Syndrome)

Judge for yourself. Here and Here

Broad stoke outline? Ophrah Winfrey touted this “free chicken” on her show and the masses turned out in droves, disrupting KFC’s supply chain, and in some cases causing protests when restaurants run out of chicken.

Are you kidding me? Sit in’s and near riots over ….Free Chicken.
What’s next?

How far we have fallen, from a once proud nation of hard working citizens where anything was possible, a country of people that disdained hand-outs, to what we are now…. a dependent, needy, self absorbed, entitlement grabbing bunch of scabs.

These American’s Subjects have lost any shred they might have once had of their dignity.

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

‘Nuff said….
