Demorats: BLACKMAILING & EXTORTION For ObamaKare Votes!


As I wrote before, the Demorats will do anything lawful or unlawful to assure they have sufficient votes to ram ObamaKare down the throats of Americans.

Now, they have taken the fine art of vote acquisition from the questionable to the obscene:
Nebraska Senator Ben Nelson (D) has been told, essentially, that unless he votes with the rest of the Demorats on ObamaKare, the Obama Administration will shut down Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska which, in turn, threatens ten thousand jobs.
And Obama creates jobs??  He cares about Americans??
This is beyond heinous.  This is beyond backbiting, name-calling, midnight phone calls, threats of removal from plum appointments and commissions.
Further: this imperils the very security of the United States of America.
And all because the Obama Administration must, absolutely must ram down ObamaKare and it doesn’t care one whit about who has to be cast aside or threatened or hurt or even if it could place the entire security of the United States in jeopardy.
From the breaking story at StopTheACLU:
As our source put it, this is a “naked effort by Rahm Emanuel and the White House to extort Nelson’s vote.” They are “threatening to close a base vital to national security for what?” asked the Senate staffer.

Indeed, Offutt is the headquarters for US Strategic Command, the successor to Strategic Air Command, and not by accident. STRATCOM was located in the middle of the country for strategic reasons. Its closure would be a massive blow to the economy of the state of Nebraska, but it would also be another example of this administration playing politics with our national security.
Ladies and gentlemen, citizens of the United States of America, if this doesn’t expose Mr Obama and his administration and sycophants as the massively-dangerous idealogues they are, then you are beyond hope and haven’t a handful of functioning brain cells extant.

WSJ Poll: Should the Senate pass the $849 billion health care reform package?


That’s the question posed by the Wall Street Journal:

Should the Senate pass the $849 billion health care reform package?
Click on the link and you’ll find that, at the time of this blogpost’s creation, it was 6.2% in favor of passage (with 2,683 votes) and 93.8% against passage, with 40,275 votes.
Isn’t it odd that this and other polls clearly indicate the bulk of Americans do not wish ObamaKare — and yet, with and by any means necessary lawful or unlawful it is clear that Reid, Pelosi and Obama are going to ram this bill by fiat down the throats of all Americans and strongarm the cash from your wallets and purses.
That’s like stuffing an emetic down your throat and then forcing you to re-consume the results.
THIS JUST IN:

In the Rasmussen poll, Mr Obama’s numbers have plummeted from a +30 on January 22nd of this year, flattened to 0 on June 28th, began going negative on June 30th (-2) and were the worst (-19) on December 13th.
Joe Lieberman just may be the solitary fly in the Demorat ointment.  If so, don’t be surprised if Reid decides to push the Nuke 50 button.

Pushing The Envelope, Part II: Bas Rutten, Street Fighter

The human being has always pushed the envelope into and beyond the realms of danger. This is the second of three consecutive Sunday postings displaying how restless Man is with the mundane and how he purposely crosses the threshold into danger willingly — and sometimes unwillingly.

Depicted here is an all-out, eye-opening view of street fighting.  This is one highly dangerous man.  Someone as accomplished and straightforward as this, you’d not see him coming, be able to control or defeat him.

The Federal Government: Give Me MORE Of Your Money!


My guess would be that, as with most American citizens and not illegal invaders or freeloaders, you’ve had to cut back in your purchases in consideration of the current economy.  

You’ve likely had to pare down on eating out, you’ve starting “brown-bagging” it to work again or more frequently, stopped any number of magazine subscriptions, sold some items locally or on e-Bay, had to cut back on the type and amount of food purchased, cut way back on entertainment.  You’ve likely had to entirely revamp your lifestyle and re-think or re-examine your fiscal life; where you are now and where you wish to be in the foreseeable future.  And mostly ponder: can I make it?  Can my family make it?  And worst yet, likely some of you have actually lost your jobs.

You’ve not only had to ensure you don’t spend more, you’ve had to make actual cuts in your budget; some of them might be rather Draconian in nature.
Not so the Federal Government.
Oh no.  Now, the average federal employee makes $71,000 a year — $30,000 more on average than the private sector or other state and local government scales.
How about you?  Do you make $71K annually?
The federal government decided to raise the ceiling on “tolerable debt.”  Now your federal government proposes to raise the debt limit potentially up to $1.9 TRILLION dollars.
What’s your debt limit?  Can you decide to arbitrarily print your own money if you don’t feel like cutting spending?
Further, the IRS is licking its chops in anticipation of biting deeper into more American wallets and, in anticipation of this — in a recession, mind you! — is hiring hundreds more employees.
It is simply fiscal insanity.
No sane person can possibly think you can SPEND your way OUT of a recession.  
TARP hasn’t worked but — oh no! the sky is falling we have to enact TARP immediately or it all  will fail! — and yet, all the things promised to be solved by TARP haven’t been.
All the things promised to be solved by the BILLIONS in Porkulus haven’t been.  Further, NO ONE can account for the money spent.
And Mr Obama wants to enact a second Porkulus.
Insanity, ladies and gentlemen.  The sheerest of insanity.  OR.  More steps in the purposely-plotted road to the Cloward-Piven Strategy.
You really haven’t any idea, America, just what kind of monster you’ve elected.
