I’m cranky today, so please forgive me, gentle reader. But I am sick to death of everyone constantly referring to politicians as “leaders”.

BZZZZT! WRONG ANSWER!

The next politician who thinks for a second that his job is to lead me, has lost my vote!

Just remember two words: Representative Republic — The proper name for the type of government we have here in the U.S.A.

I don’t know what country all of these leader-mongers are from, but it’s not mine!

The only people who should be leading in this country are “we the people!” The sooner incumbent politicians figure this out, the sooner I’ll stop fantasizing about election day when I can throw them out of office.

Everyone must understand; we employ these people to do our bidding when we cast our ballots and pay our taxes. They answer to US. Their job is to represent, not lead. If they’re leading us, something is wrong.

We must get these insubordinate politicians (“leaders”), who love ramming rotten and unpopular legislation down our throats, out of office!

Leaders be damned—This is a free country, not a wagon train! If you want to lead, become a tour guide, or start your own church, but stay the crap out of my life and my government!

Do you like calculators? I do. In 1946 the first electronic computer, ENIAC, was built. It was constructed using vacuum tubes (the transistor and integrated circuit were not yet invented). It weighed 27 tons, took up 680 square feet of space, and consumed 150,000 watts of electricity. It was the first programmable electronic calculator.

Today, you can buy a simple calculator that fits in the palm of your hand and runs on solar power for less than $10. AMAZING!

So I thought I would fire up my, technologically miraculous, calculator and crunch a few numbers.

Everyone is talking about the US national debt lately, so I decided to figure out what my portion of it is and try to get a better understanding of just how big the number really is.

At the time of this writing, the US national debt is/was: $12,933,884,012,449. (Just under 13 trillion dollars [the current budget deficit exceeds 1.4 trillion dollars at present, so this debt is expanding rapidly under the fearless leadership of the Oblahblah administration. Thanks Barack!])

At the same time, the US population is estimated to be: 308,361,063 people.

So what’s my/your share of the debt?

Well, get out your calculator and try this: 12,933,884,012,449 (dollars) divided by 308,361,063 (people) equals: $41,943.96

That’s nearly $42,000 dollars for ever man, woman, and child in America. (Each baby born in America starts out life $42,000 in debt!)

If you have a family of 5, your family cumulatively owes $209,720!

Keep in mind that the current US budget deficit is 1.4 trillion dollars, so at present our national debt is skyrocketing. Think the problems in Greece are bad? Oh baby!

Ok, so you’re thinking, “Not my problem. That’s government debt—has nothing to do with me.”

You’re wrong. Our government is a Representative Republic (No matter what your air-head political science professor may have told you.) Which means that your government works for you—on your behalf. You are the boss and your government is your employee. (NEVER forget that!!!) The buck stops with you, and me, and every other US citizen! And it is “We the People” who are responsible for paying off this debt. Remember, the government doesn’t produce money, it consumes it. And it gets it from us!

So, just because we elect retards to make a huge mess out of our country, doesn’t mean we’re not responsible for the mess! It’s our own employees that are trashing the place, and we as their supervisors are responsible for what they do!

At some point, very soon I fear, our debt burden will become unsustainable. At present the US Gross Domestic Product is 14.6 trillion dollars, which is only slightly more than, and will soon be eclipsed by, our national debt! Additionally, Congress just passed a multi-trillion dollar health care bill, which will add mightily to the mountainous and crushing financial burden our country is facing. The interest on our National Debt alone is currently over $194 billion dollars a year! (That’s almost a trillion dollars every 5 years!) Think what we could do with that money?!

Of course, the out of control spending in Washington is no accident. These people aren’t stupid enough to believe their own rhetoric about saving the country.

Barack Obama is a smart man. He knows what he’s doing.

When you elect a President who hates America, who for 20 years attended a church where the preacher screamed words like “God da— the U.S. of KKK!” at the top of his lungs. A President who pals around with unapologetic domestic terrorists (William Ayers). A President who has refused to produce a US Birth Certificate to prove that he’s a natural born citizen and therefore eligible to be the President, and who’s own Grandmother claims to have witnessed his birth in Kenya. A President who’s presidential candidacy was endorsed by the Islamic terrorist group Hamas. A President who said that the US constitution is a “charter of negative rights”, lamenting the fact that it constrains the government, and prevents it from ruling the people, rather than the other way around. A president who has spent much of his adult life trying to destroy your 2nd Amendment Rights. A president who has surrounded himself and built an administration full of unabashed Communists and Marxists. A president who, prior to being elected, made it clear that he intends to impose wealth redistribution, which means the destruction of free markets, capitalism, and democracy.

When you elect a president like this, what do you think is going to happen? I understand that many Americans don’t know about these things due to the absolute dereliction of our mass media. But the information is real and it’s out there, and thanks to alternative forms of communication, it can’t be suppressed—yet. The Obama Administration, however, is trying feverishly to curb the flow of information and regulate the Internet, talk radio, and alternative press. Obama is sick and tired of people spreading the truth around behind his back!

In the meantime, we are doing all the same things that led to the recent financial breakdown, and societal collapse in Greece. Only we’re doing it on a much grander scale, and NO ONE on this earth will have enough money to bail us out when our house of cards collapses! Greece is the experiment that shows us our future, and ruin is our destination. Of course, this story has been repeated a thousand times throughout history, so it’s truly no surprise. And it will happen to us too unless we change what we’re doing.

All I can say is that we must turn this train around in November, or disaster is the only thing that can possibly happen to our freedom and economy. Vote these people out in November or suffer for decades!

There is so much more going on right now than I could begin to write about. But I’ll just leave you with this: It’s not rocket science. All you need is a $10 calculator and you can figure it out with ease.

Good luck!

“I get on Hannity every Monday night and say Obama is the greatest economic president since Franklin Roosevelt and watch Hannity’s jaw drop,” … “And that is one of the great moments of my week.” — Bob Beckel (Democrat Pundit)

Who could argue with that? The economy is has just soared since Obama took over!

Okay, today I’m going to be lazy and post some quotes — because I think they are pure and brilliant truth.

These are two quotes by Steve Wynn, CEO of Wynn Resorts (Las Vegas) taken from a recent interview with Chris Wallace on Fox:

“Government has never increased the standard of living of one single human being in civilization’s history. For some reason that simple truth has evaded everybody. The only thing that creates an increased standard of living is giving someone a job, the demand for their labor — whether it’s you and I, Chris, or anybody else. The people that are paying the price for this juggernaut of federal spending are the middle class and the working class of America.”

“…And soaring rhetoric and great speeches with or without a teleprompter aren’t going to change the truth, and the truth is: The biggest enemy, the biggest obstacle that working middle-class America has is government spending.”

If only people could “get” this. I’m afraid that by the time people in America wake up to the truth (if they ever do), it’s going to be too late.

I used to believe that inside of every human heart there is an innate desire to be free.

I used to think that each one of us wanted to be in control of our destiny and potential — to fly with the glorious wings of liberty that our forefathers and brave soldiers bought for us with enormous sacrifice and with their lives.

But today, we’re a nation of infants — liberal, dependent, foolish, perfectly content with endless regulations, controls, systems, and laws. The cost of which is huge! It limits our potential and breaks our spirit.

There is no freedom in this. The government doesn’t fears us (like our founding fathers intended), it runs us. And the most abhorrent thing about that is: no one cares.

But I do.

I just wanted to let everyone know that this stuff really works — I am now officially unemployed for the first time in my adult life, and the company that I worked for will probably be forced to close its doors soon thanks to socialist economics and super-hero Barack Obama.

And with reduced competition and the inflation that trillions of dollars worth of un-backed curency flooding the market will cause, you can be sure that the products we used to bring you will increase in price while your wages drop and your money becomes worthless.

Thanks Obama — Lovin’ the change!

I’m just wondering how bad things have to get before Obama Lovers wake up and smell the burning country.

Some time ago, an anonymous commenter responded to one of my old posts (The Obama Generation) where he wrote, and I quote:

you all don’t understand what are country is going through and that President Obama is the one who will help us out of this. when this happens you will all feel like idiots

So now — many months later — I’m trying to think whether I feel like an idiot or not. And I really have to admit; I love it when people who are barely literate, are unable to construct even a basic English sentence, and have an advanced degree in burger flipping, turn out to be experts on leadership, economics, and financial policy –and– make a point to inform me of how I’m an idiot for not seeing the obvious — that they are total geniuses, and know that Barack Obama is the savior of the Universe.

Well, so far, Barack Obama and the Democrat Congress (CONgress being the inverse of PROgress, in this case) have absolutely wrecked the economy just as I predicted they would. Who’s feeling like an idiot now, Anonymous? Huh?

And it get’s worse. You’ve only seen the beginning. The new Healthcare plan that they’re talking about will absolutely crush what’s left of our broken economy under a massive — like never before seen — tax burden and debt load. You think things are are bad now? You think your healthcare is too expensive? Wait till you’re paying tens of thousands a year in extra taxes to pay for Obamacare!

“But wait!”, you say. “Obama said he’ll only raise taxes on the rich and big business.”

It can’t be done. We’re talking trillions of dollars here, people! There is no way on God’s Green Earth our crippled economy can tolerate that kind of additional abuse. The financial burden of Obama Care will be passed down to you when the upper tiers of the economy fail to support the massive weight of it. The government will be forced to raise your taxes.

Obots, I’m talking to you.

Taxing the wealthy and business owners is not the solution to everything. Who do you think employs your mindless bodies? Who do you think produces everything you buy when you go to the store? What’s going to happen to the prices you pay when massive taxes are imposed on the producers? What do you think is going to happen to your job when your employer can’t afford to insure you, or even pay you any more?

Barack Obama is lying about the feasibility of his plan. You have to understand this. Government is a poor producer. It can’t do anything by itself. It can’t take care of you — it depends on you! Most people in this Administration and the Congress haven’t even read the healthcare bill they’re selling to you. If you’re thinking about buying something, is the highly commissioned salesman the best person to give you advice about it? NO!

Trust me, there aren’t enough rich people in this country to pay for this healthcare plan, and even if there were, they wouldn’t be rich for long. By supporting this bill, you’re opting to put the screws to your employer and your neighbors — probably even putting them out of business, and complaining at the same time about unemployment and layoffs!

But in truth, it’s not even about healthcare, it’s about breaking the back of our free market system so that the enemies of this country can destroy your wealth, make you dependent, and end the American way of life.

Obama is nothing more than a Pied Piper (a professional manipulator), and Americans are the unfortunate children being lead away forever by a happy tune.

Good luck with that, and don’t say I didn’t warn you. I’m not the one who will be feeling like an idiot in the future, but if you support Obamacare, and it passes, I’m pretty sure you will.

He says capitalism is evil — has declared an all-out war on it — and yet Michael Moore has made his personal fortune selling his movies and documentaries for profit. That makes Michael Moore a CAPITALIST and according to his own definition — evil.

But what Michael Moore really is, is a bombastic hypocrite — a raging case of “Do as I say, not as I do.”

And while Mr. Moore runs around trashing America and berating everything it stands for, he engages in the very freedoms and pursuits that he claims the rest of us have no right to enjoy.

Capitalism and success for him, communism and oppression for the rest of us.

Personally, I suspect that Mr. Moore is not so stupid that he actually believes his own rhetoric (if he did he wouldn’t resort to outright lies to make his points), but that he’s been duped into believing that by helping the communist underground rise to power he’ll be a respected member of it, maybe placed in a position of prominence — that he’ll be be spared from the ugly fate that he helped thrust upon his betrayed country and fellow men.

He is a capitalist, after all, and in his sick way, he’s trying to capitalize on the slavery, oppression, and eventual destruction of the greatest economic engine ever known in the history of the world, and the people who lived (prosperously) under it for a time.

He doesn’t care if he destroys you in his quest to be a king, as long as he’s rich, fat, and comfortable. He’ll sell us all out for his chance to sit at the top.

But trust me, Mr. Moore, you’re just a useful idiot, and you’ll be thrown in the pit with the rest of us when it’s all said and done.

You can bank it! You’re a Mooron!

North Korea has successfully tested a nuclear bomb.

I doubt if I need to explain what a terrible thing this is, but since N. Korea’s President, Kim Jong Il is truly insane and once threatened to baptize the imperialist Americans and their allies in a nuclear “sea of fire”, I’m a little bit alarmed that he now has the means to actually do it!

Prior to now, N. Korea has only made a laughing stalk of itself by conducting long-range missile tests in defiance of international protests, which have resulted mostly in pathetic, or in some cases spectacular, failures to the point that no one really takes N. Korea’s threatenings seriously any more.

But recently N. Korea fired a missile over Japan and into the Pacific ocean—defying United Nations Security Council Resolution 1718, and causing total outrage. N. Korea insists that it was a peaceful communications satellite launch. Underwater Ocean Satellites (UOS’s) are based on advanced N. Korean technology closely guarded, and unknown to the rest of the world.

The fact that N. Korea thinks it is perfectly reasonable to test-fire ballistic missiles over other countries is alarming by itself. But we now have to wonder if the next test will be tipped with a functional nuclear warhead! (Not good!)

Q.) Why should we be worried here in the US?

A.) N. Korea is very poor, and has been practicing Dictatorial Socialism (similar to the Obamic Socialism currently being tried here in the US) for much longer than we have, so they’ve been able to completely run their country into the toilet—resulting in massive dependence on foreign humanitarian aid, and becoming a superb model for us to follow here in the States with President Obama.

In fact, N. Korea is so poor (and stupid) that when China sends them trains loaded with humanitarian aid, food, and supplies; N. Korea keeps the trains, and refuses to let them return to China! In N. Korea, trains are badly worn-out and in short supply. So they steal the aid trains, much to China’s frustration.

N. Korea has a huge army (4th largest in the world), but it is starving and poorly equipped, so it’s not as formidable a force as it could be, except in number.

My worry is that N. Korea’s desperate financial situation, their disdain for America, political isolation, paranoia, and the fact that they now posses expensive nuclear weapons—very desirable to terrorists—could lead them to sell nuclear weapons to people who would use them to kill millions of Americans in an instant—a literal fraction of a second.

It’s a bad situation! But thank goodness our President and the United Nations are able to issue harsh words of disapproval and anemic security resolutions to be ignored with impunity. We’re sure to be safe now—and Iran, seeing how serious we are, will probably cease it’s own frenzied production of weapons grade Uranium-235.

I know I’ll be sleeping well tonight….

A friend of mine sent this to me today in an email, and I just had to pass it along, because it’s so dang cute!

I recently asked my friend’s little girl what she wanted to be when she grows up.

She said she wanted to be the President some day.

Both of her parents, liberal Democrats, were standing there, so I asked her, “If you were President what would be the first thing you would do?”

She replied, “I’d give food and houses to all the homeless people.”

Her parents beamed.

“Wow. . . what a worthy goal.” I told her, “But you don’t have to wait until you’re President to do that. You can come over to my house and mow the lawn, pull weeds, and sweep my yard, and I’ll pay you $50. Then I’ll take you over to the grocery store where the homeless guy hangs out, and you can give him the $50 to use toward food and a new house.”

She thought that over for a few seconds, then she looked me straight in the eye and asked, “Why doesn’t the homeless guy come over and do the work, and you can just pay him the $50?”

I said, “Welcome to the Republican Party.”

Her parents still aren’t speaking to me.

The difference between me, and the author would probably have been that, when asked why the homeless guy doesn’t do the work, I would have probably replied, “Because he’s a democrat.”

Okay, I have noticed that TV, Radio, and Newspapers have been constantly referring to Barack Obama as our Commander-in-Chief. What the heck? Did somebody secretly sign us all up for Military service?

Barack Obama is Commander-in-Chief to the U.S. Armed Forces (i.e. Army, Navy, Coast Guard). He is not my Commander! And if you’re not a soldier, he’s not your Commander either!

This is not Cuba, or the USSR! President Obama, contrary to what he thinks, does not command the nation! He’s represents it! Our country was designed as a Representative Republic! These Obasmic references to our Commander-in-Chief, in the context of the civilian public, is just another apparent attempt by Liberal Fascists to influence the public perception of the President’s role.

I’ve just about had it with these people!

Our—so called—Commander has forced us all to incur massive debt, in the face of serious economic hardship, for the despicable purpose of funding thousands of democrat pork projects, thus tripling the National Deficit in 3 weeks, all the while complaining about how the previous Administration doubled it in 8 years! We sure picked a winner, America.

Comrades, we are in for a rough ride! But now that we’re in the Military, we’ll be getting government benefits, paid for by . . . oh who the heck knows?!
