Top 1% Pay More Tax Than Bottom 95%!!!! - DEMs Foaming At The Mouth!

We are in serious trouble, and thank the gods that be we are going to have some time to tell our legislators (CongressCritters) while they are home....(This may be the worst time ever for legislators to be home. The Tea Party troops are out in numbers, and the legislators will have their feet held to a fire.

I even emailed my CongressCritter, Betty Castor who replied with a standard, we are for health care type email.....Now, she will feel the anger of the voters as she visits Tampa again (or will she hide?)

The problem is the public (nearly by a majority....but getting BETTER each week) are still in the class of "the Emperor believes he has clothes, so he must have clothes", well you know, as opposed to those who actually KNOW HE HAS NONE!

The coming week is crucial. We must keep pressure (phones/email) on GOP & Blue Dog folks who have some conception of the fiasco which Obama would visit upon us in the guise of "cutting costs"....

Additionally....We have to watch the GOP for signs of once-again collapsing and determining that half-a-loaf is better....thus caving to most of Obama's fiasco in return for dropping the other half (which Obama would later push thru a DEM Congress a add-ons!)

Make this a final nail in the coffin folks....not a temporary stay of sentence.

"It's Not About Me!"....WTF????

It has to be something in the water at Harvard.

Healthcare by Obama is floundering...to say the least. Despite the fact it is apparently something about which NOT ONE CONGRESSMAN actually has read, and despite the fact the WH now sez it was not aimed at saving money (Remember when THAT was the reason for rushing this through?). The obvious reason for the rush is Obama has this as his keystone item which he must pass. Now he sez, "It's not about me!"

Professor Gates, bound toward filing charges, lawsuits, and ranting on endlessly despite the apparent evidence (I, like the PrezBo have not seen the evidence) to the contrary, now is saying, "It's not about me!"

Right in both cases, NOT!

Gates-Gate!

"Let me be clear. I do not know the facts of the Henry Louis Gates arrest.

But my understanding of the facts is that the officer once gave a black man mouth-to-mouth resuscitation; that the officer is an expert on avoiding racial profiling; that he spoke to a witness who had seen two black men attempting to break into Gates’s home; that the officer talked to Gates, a black man inside that home; that Gates did not explain to the officer that he had been shut out of his own home — and that Gates decided that the police officer, a man apparently trying to do his job, was a racist, and started screaming at him.

I think it’s fair to say, No. 1, any of us would be pretty angry if we were called a racist for trying to do our jobs.

No. 2, Gates acted stupidly in not explaining to an officer who said he was investigating a possible break-in: “Oh, I understand what’s going on here. My door was jammed and I was trying to jimmy it open. Someone must have seen seen that and assumed I was breaking in!”

No. 3—what I think we know separate and apart from this incident—is that there is a long history in this country of African-Americans and Latinos complaining about being stopped by law enforcement disproportionately. And that’s just a fact. Yet, when they are being stopped because they fit the description of a criminal, that means someone with their skin color committed a crime. And maybe they could reserve some of their outrage for those criminals — because if the criminal hadn’t committed the crime, they wouldn’t get stopped.

Knowing nothing about what actually happened, I just thought I would nevertheless pop off and express a bunch of opinions that make it seem like I do know what happened.

(HT-Patterico)

All part of my effort to appear presidential."

MY GOD....This man is OUR President!

Let me see....IF GWB had issued such a declaratory statement on any such potentially racial situation, WHAT would the MSM have done?

Am I Missing Something?

"The president is "not familiar" with the bill. No one can explain how it will work yet, as Sen. Ben Cardin, D-Md., told a contentious town meeting. There are various plans, and negotiations are still in the early stages.

But whatever it is, we should be for it.

Am I missing something?"

What IS the question, and WHY are we not being asked?

Thus we finally see the actual thing which is nudging the mind of ALL Americans....

WHY MUST WE BE STAMPEDED INTO THIS???

What magical, mystical thing dictates that if we do not pass this still-unwritten bill IMMEDIATELY, the country will fail?

Why, after a stimulus of 787 BILLION DOLLARS to "FIX" the economy, is now the entire economy resting upon the passage of the healthcare thingee from Obama which he knows not the details of, and which the DEMs have not yet written...?????

B-E-C-A-U-S-E!

It is that simple....

Because, if not passed now, it runs the risk of never being passed.

The Obama KEY legislation....(well, except for the stimulus and the cap and trade, and anything else he can dream up)....is now under fire.

In fact, it is D-E-A-D! Pelosi admits it....under duress from Reid who KNOWS it is dead....and both dump Obama who has never condescended to allow the Congressional minions to be a part of any decisions....except to write HIS bills!

The man is an exercise in overblown Chicago mentality.

Mary Jo Kopechne....R.I.P. - Ted Kennedy....Live With It As You Face God!

I simply could not tackle this one by myself.....I know me, and I'd have gone ballistic in a heartbeat!

So I leave it to Scott Johnson of Powerline:

"An attorney friend of mine who describes himself as a lifelong student of the Kennedy family has circulated the following email in honor of one anniversary that will pass almost entirely unremarked in the mainstream media:

I thought I would take a moment to bother you all, ladies included, to remind everyone that this is the 40th anniversary of the infamous Chappaquiddick incident in which an inebriated Senator Ted Kennedy marked a reunion of his brother Bobby's "Boiler Room" girls by driving one to her death off the Dyke Road bridge.

This manslaughter might have been forgiven if Kennedy hadn't decided to evade responsibility for the accident and cover it up by failing to report it, trying to co-opt one of his aides to cop to being the driver, and then leaving them to try and fix it for him for over seven hours.

Worse, Mary Jo Kopechne, whose drowned body was found in a position trying to eke out the last molecules of air within the submerged car, was left to drown by the self-involved Senator, who chose not to seek immediate help.

After proceedings by a Kennedy-friendly judicial system in Massachusetts, Kennedy was found guilty of leaving the scene of an accident and had his driver's license suspended. But perhaps the crowning event was Kennedy's appalling nationally-televised apologia, which I remember viewing on TV, and which still reigns as probably the worst and most self-indulgent political pitch ever.

He may be "the Lion of the Senate", but I will never forget Chappaquiddick. For the uninitiated, a must read is Leo Damore's excellent book Senatorial Privilege.

Ted Kennedy has styled himself an opponent of wealth and privilege, but his career is a tribute to their power when wielded by a man of the left. The lesson of Chappaquiddick thus remains timely forty years on.

JOHN adds: The Kopechne family hated Ted Kennedy, but Mary Jo's parents are now dead. Which cleared the way, apparently, for Ted finally to visit Mary Jo's grave. The National Enquirer has the story:

The ENQUIRER reports exclusively that Ted Kennedy, dying of brain cancer, made a secret visit to the grave of Mary Jo Kopechne. ...

In his final Thanksgiving celebration with his family, the dying 76-year-old Kennedy patriarch expressed his deep regret over the Mary Jo tragedy.

Only days before the holiday break, Ted made a special trip to visit the parish cemetery of St. Vincent's Roman Catholic Church in Plymouth, Pa., where Mary Jo was buried July 22, 1969.

"Ted knows his days are numbered and has been wrestling with making this difficult trip," a family source told The ENQUIRER. "While Mary Jo's parents were alive, because of the bad blood that existed, Ted avoided going."

A line from a country song goes through my head: "Jesus would forgive, but a daddy don't forget." Nor should he. Whether Kennedy genuinely repents leaving Mary Jo to die while he ran off in search of an alibi, we can only leave to a higher authority."

Thanks Scott, and his writer.......I would have been a blithering demanding, ignorant accuser of this self-centered, self-serving, self-important bastard!

You did it well! That, in some ways, short changes the idea of the horrendous crime this man was allowed to follow and yet be a Senator for decades.

Curse You Ted Kennedy.....and the horse you rode in upon (Kennedy lure & fashion)....

I am aware that MANY, perhaps even a majority, of our population are either unaware of the reality of what has been voted upon us....OR, they simply are still drinking the Obamassiah Kool-Aid.....

They could care less, and are driven to ride with "The One" for whatever he does. If it fails, then it will be the fault of "Government"....not The One.

My God, but I believe the population actually buys this load of crap.

"The One" is clueless.....his entire action so far has F-A-I-L-E-D....Miserably...His entire plan!

WHY should we believe his plan to offer us "Healthcare ala-Obama" will be anything better than SS or Medicare????

THERE IS NO REASON!

This new program will F-A-I-L!!!!

& We will pay.....

NOT JUST $

As a senior (aged 66), I can guarantee there will be actions prohibiting me from some treatments/surgeries/et al that Y-O-U-N-G-E-R folk will enjoy.

Why would a government which cannot even control SS & Medicare consider itself qualified, or capable of administering this boon doogle of a program?????

Give me FACTS FOLKS!

Reality is An UGLY Thing!

Ed Morrissey, "Capt. Ed" to those of us who have known him for several years, has a fine look at the "TAX THE RICH TO PAY FOR HEALTHCARE" idea:

"This is part of the entire problem with the “progressive” tax system. It punishes people for success and is at its most basic a real consequence of a grievance mindset, in which life is a zero-sum game and winners “steal” from losers. As the economy itself has proven consistently, real wealth expands and standards of living increase for the entire population when capital is allowed to work in the markets. Soaking the rich reduces that capital and stymies the expansion of wealth and creation of new jobs. Government does not create wealth; it eats it, in some cases for good reason (national defense, for example) but too often for the kind of social engineering that inevitably makes matters worse.

Nowhere in the Democrats’ plan do they explain why 2.1 million Americans should have to pay to reform the health-care system for 300 million Americans, nor does the Post explain why 2.1 million Americans should have to pay for the massive deficits created by Democrats in Congress and Barack Obama. Both accept the notion that government exists to transfer wealth without explaining at all the basis for a free government to do so. If we need massive health-care reform, then the costs should be borne by everyone — and when that happens, you will find massive health-care reform to be a lot less popular than when Obama, Rangel, & Co try to pass it off as something for nothing."

That, my friends, is the beginning.....

There is MUCH MORE!!!!!

You will be, under provisions in at least one version, be coerced into joining or pay a FINE.

The Evil Rich will ALL be taxed at rates between 2% & 5.4%, depending upon their income level.

UNION PEOPLE will be exempt from paying since they "have" health care. (What about the 250 million of us who are not union and also have health care?)

The costs will soar, and the program will perform like, and be funded like SS & Medicare (why would this ONE program operate any differently than all the other programs run by our Imperial Government?)...poorly.

Lines are forming already for treatment.....if you don't queue up now, it will take forever when you actually get rich.

This program will kill our way of life. PERIOD. This government cannot even run existing programs and is in complete denial of the drowning of SS & Medicare in debt even as they add BILLIONS more in obligations.

Some tax figures for all planned programs to increase taxes on the "rich" (you know, those who actually create jobs and such) will place their load at more than 50%!

Obama Administration/Dem Congress Reach A Major Milestone!

a Duke DeLand Creation!
At the end of June, for the 1st time E-V-E-R, the United States was $1.1 TRILLION DOLLARS in debt for the current fiscal year (beginning last October).

How's that for your Stimulating Porkapalooza?

The Obama plan is working, according to he and his very tired staff.

It just happens to work in reverse! BEEP-BEEP-BEEP....(That is the sound of the huge truck backing up to dump on we citizens of Obamaland!)

If you thought The One's ratings were already tanking...I have a feeling you ain't seen nothing yet! Well, that does suppose that media other than the blogosphere are actually going to report on this. We cannot be assured of that fact!

May Day, May Day.....California to Be Abandoned!

The exodus continues......California is HOSTILE to business....and they know it!

Gotta love it. The California legislature is still stuck in TAX-TAX-TAX mode.....even as the state goes bankrupt!

Nobody in CA even cares enough to vote these lizards out-of-office!

California folk are obviously D-U-M-B!....or ignorant....

Whatever....They have not a clue.

Well, I am not really sorry!

THIS IS NOT A Scare Tactic.....BUT, You'd Better Read It And Understand!

Obama-Care May, indeed, threaten medical innovation....the benchmark of our Medical system!

My Father died at age 58....He had severe heart problems. He first had a serious heart attack at 47. We lived for 11 years with his problem (and three more serious heart attacks!). Today, what killed him (he died in 1978) would have been easily cured by today's progressive medicine!

The new Obama Care proposal will cut this type of development as Government N-E-V-E-R gives rise to private medical development. That involves the "PROFIT PRINCIPLE!" Government abhors private profit....thus funding for such solutions to health problems will disintegrate with ObamaCare!

Yes, it will.....then comes the "you're too old for this treatment" methodology of saving money! Lots of money!

I ain't ready to die for my government. I'd prefer the fact of private enterprise developing what I need to live into my 80s; 90s; 100s???? ObamaCare will kill off us oldsters.....unless we are Obama & his family; Congressional members; Senators & their families.....or others well-connected.

Do NOT be fooled by Obama's many charades about whom he is protecting. He is protecting his family. ALL else is Socialism.....NOT Creeping, but LEAPING!

He even admits he will not promise to let his family live ONLY under his medical plan.

SURPRISE!

Obama & Company are lying out their asses and they KNOW IT...

They count on the "government-educated" among us to still believe the "HOPE & CHANGE" mantra....a failed concept.

How much longer can THE ONE buy into the pool of socialistic achievement without the revolt of the public?

That Dang LIGHT...The Light of WHAT-WE-DO!

NOT What we say/said....just WHAT-WE-DO!

Rex Murphy: "We've seen him in action for a bit more than six months. What we can say with confidence, now that we have the evidence of his actions, is that had he run on (a) transforming the U.S. economy by massive federal government intervention, (b) taking an owner's stake in the automobile industry, (c) transforming the rules of America's energy economy, (d) instituting a national health-care system - all of these simultaneously and in the center of a financial meltdown - Barack Obama wouldn't merely have lost the election, he wouldn't have got as many votes as gnarly old Ross Perot did in an election long past."

As Rex calls it....Obama on the flying trapeze!

This clod is stumbling....and frankly, I think he knew he would. Thus the "May Day, May Day" calls for immediate action on ALL his proposals.

He will find NO support beyond the point where the voting public find "Hope and Change" are really "Change To Socialism and Debt!"

There is no question that is his intent....there is no question that is his goal...there is only a chance for the public to awake and S=T=O=P the agenda.....

That is underway, but it may already be too late.

The shame of having been a newsman/news director many, many years ago.....But THEN we presented BOTH sides of a story.....Anything slanted/biased was E-D-I-T-O-R-I-A-L!!!!

Jack Dunphy sets us on the real course of TRUTH! "Imagine the disappointment here in the Dunphy house when it was reported that Michelle Obama was flouncing about Moscow while toting an Italian handbag that cost nearly $6,000. Well, I’m relieved to report that the Evita Peron analogies can be suspended, as a spokeswoman for the handbag’s manufacturer, VBH, has now identified the First Lady’s purse as one that goes for a mere $875."

Obama O.K. With Health Care Rationing?????

For the unenlightened, eyes-shut-Obamassiah-believer that seems to be a shock! How could it be when his minions ALREADY SAID IT WAS!

The sheeple are awakening. Let me see. a)stay as we are or push for medicare/medicaid reform or, b) reform all health care and 1)ration according to age & cost and 2) hike the price so we ALL pay a lot more.

The thing the usual media culprits (MSM) fail to tell you about polls is that they DO indicate people want coverage for everyone, but ALSO the polls say people DO NOT want to pay for this.

I predict that unless some really, really profound changes are made in planned legislation (what is in the bill, by the way) there will be no such legislation passed this year, and The One has said if it does not pass this year it will not pass in his watch. O.K. by me! I am, after all, 66 and may want a new knee or hip in the next ten years. I am not ready for the pasture.

Yeppers folks, The One's ratings are dropping like a brick, AND his legislative "must-haves" are dead-in-the-water. As mentioned in an update below, The One's negative rating is soaring weekly.....now at 8%!

Ed Morrissey at Hot Air tells us "Crap & Tax"...er Cap & Trade is DOA until at least September....long after The One wanted it passed.

The tides are turning as well for Healthcare with many, many doubts...questions...objections, etc. floating about both GOP & DEM camps.

Not that Obama cares, but his approval ratings are now officially in-the-tank!
UPDATE BELOW!


He is now -5%....that is 5% more people feel strongly he is wrong an do he is right!

There is speculation that he cares not, and feels even more compelled to continue his Democrat/Socialist agenda of tax/spend/increase government. AT ANY COST TO THE PUBLIC!

& Then PrezBo Reminded The Russians About Alaska!

Gaffe; Gaffe; Gaffe......The supply is endless.

Moe Lane writes on his blog: "This post written after I finished wiping coffee off of the monitor.

God, I miss the days of the Bush administration, when we didn’t do things like this.

Referring to the long history of Russia-U.S. trade stretching back more than two centuries, Obama told an audience of business people in Moscow:

“Along the way, you gave us a pretty good deal on Alaska. Thank you.”

Contra Reuters, this was not a “pointed quip” (as Ed Morrissey notes, it only works as one if you assume that the President wanted to insult his hosts): it was a “somebody didn’t read the briefing materials (particularly the bits about Vladimir Zhirinovsky) gaffe.” What’s next? Thanking the Chinese for their involuntary help with training up our Navy during the Boxer Rebellion? That should go over well: they’re even touchier about their history than the Russians are.

And I actively dread thinking about what the current President is going to say, the next time that he visits Japan."

I also added a few of my own:

Mexico: You guys still remember the Alamo?
France: Your army back to WWI & WWII readiness?
England: How's the old tea supply fellas?

Another ObamaVasion???

Invasion of the Obama team into untried waters is nothing new.

HOWEVER...They now wish to totally control the Inspectors General!

The folks who keep government H-O-N-E-S-T!!!!!

The current situation is Congress and Executive get reports from the IGs (three of which Obama has unceremoniously DUMPED). The proposal before Congress is to abdicate the Congressional report....Then the IGs will ONLY report to the Executive (The One!).

this follows (or coincides) with the announcement that Obama would like to see Senate ratification of treaties done away with!

Wanna bet he'll soon wish to do away with term limits on the (President-for-life) Presidency???

Yeah! That's the ticket! If our 1st stimulus failed (so far) miserably we just add another stimulus!

The Democrat party is edging in that direction, and the MSM and most liberals will eagerly drink this Kool-Aid.

The new regime has been wrong (That is W-R-O-N-G!!!) on everything to do with the economy, so they think if they simply double their mistakes it will all get better. The chart tells the tale of Democrat projections vs performance.



Slo Joe Biden's weekend announcement that "they" had misread the seriousness of the problem indicates they are about to once again trot out the "Bush left us worse than we thought" dog to justify Stimulus II.

Now the question is...will the public buy into it? They'll almost certainly be coerced by the MSM.

& Prior to this, or possibly as a smoke screen for this, the CAP & TAX legislation is rumbling along to provide us another fiscal disaster.

Obama Going To Russia - They Ask Surrender 1st!

How very, very "The One" of him to believe he can go to Russia, where he has already been humiliated once and where he has indicated he will weasel again for small Ruskie favors, and gain ANY possible ground.

The problem with "The One" is he cannot fathom the Ruskies not playing by the "Ch-Caw-Gah" rule book.....Imagine the impertinence!

The Russians are already telling the pseudo-Frenchman, Obamassiah, tell us you give up, and then we'll talk.

So much for the possibility of humbling ourselves to be "accepted"....

Tea Party - Part Deux!

I posted my thoughts on MSM ignoring the Tea Parties...& emailed Glenn Reynolds my feelings....

H-E-R-E!

Instapundit, Glenn Reynolds, responded with lots of listings of sites reporting upon the Tea Parties....such as these.....

The New Jersey Real Time News

The Statesman

The 33 TV.com

Whig.com

& He lists many more.....

The problem?...they are not MSM.

The MSM, Including FOX, have abandoned ANY notice of the Tea Parties!

The biggest protest in the last decades of this country is being ignored by the MSM...

It is THAT SIMPLE!

Local reporting, while nice, avoids the impact of tens-of-thousands....perhaps hundreds-of-thousands protesting our current Congress and President and their economic impact upon us all.

It is not about SMALL media making an effort...it is about the MSM (FOX now for some reason included) ignoring these multitudes.

What-The-Heck is wrong with our media????

Glenn I am a bit surprised you do not notice the distinction between small local outlets covering the Tea Parties, and NONE of the MSM doing so.

Duke

Are You Better Off Than You Were Two Years Ago?

HughS at Wizbang offers focus....

The Lame Stream Media once again attempts to focus us on "It's all Bush's fault!" Even as the Democrat majority has already had 2 1/2 years in charge of the money and direction; the last 6 months with an uber-liberal/socialist President giving them absolute power.

Anyone else notice which way the country is headed? Biden has. He even admits The One's team misread the thing. He is wrong, of course. They did NOT misread it. They used the looming economic problems to launch their HUGE spending package under the guise of a "Stimulus" bill. The only thing stimulated so far are the hundreds or thousands of liberal pet projects included in the massive boondoggle.

& Unless we truly wake up, they ain't done yet!

Duke

Tea Party, What Tea Party.....Do You See A Tea Party?

The MSM has once again ignored the citizens of this country as they seek to drive their own agenda rather than cover the actual news of a grassroots movement that has ignited in hundreds of thousands enough excitement and conviction to bring them out onto the streets, squares, and parks of this country to protest the direction of the country.

Yesterday more than 600 tea parties were held in the nation. Times Square in New York was filled. In Texas 38,000 gathered at one event. Across the country thousands were gathered in hundreds of locations protesting spending, and the complete disconnect they see between the citizens of this country and the actual elected folk in Washington.

No coverage...to speak of. Even FOX, the network which fully-covered last April's Tax Parties, is completely silent.

Here in Tampa the local Tampa Tribune, sticking to its liberal direction of the news instead of reporting the news, had no word about ANY Tea Party....not even the local ones including one in nearby Brandon. This was not because they had too much else to report. Page A1 was fully 1/3rd dedicated to the e-cigarette, complete with pictures and diagrams.

The people will be heard. But it will take a while before they gain the media attention by making themselves impossible to ignore!

We live in sad times, but there will be a light at the end of the tunnel soon....as the polls are showing.

Palin Plans to Move Toward Tea Party Territory!

O.K., I indicated in my 1st post on Palin's resignation HERE, I proposed Palin's run as a 3rd party person. Reflection gives me pause to reconsider. I believe she will utilize the disenfranchised Tea Party crowd (& it is becoming H-U-G-E!) as a base for her style of pit-bull aggressiveness to attack the mad spending by Obama and the DEM Congress...Reid/Pelosi et al.

At Dailypundit Bill Quick details how he views her next moves.

Not too far afield from what I said....but a heck of a lot more detailed. He still ties her to the GOP, albeit the far conservative side, more than I. He may well be correct, however my attendance at several local events and the voices I hear at Tea Party events across the country tell me the crowds are NOT interested in aligning with ANY EXISTING PARTY.

I truly feel Palin recognizes this and sees it as her best shot. Leaving the Governor's post also rids her of the pesky complaints filed against her which, while all baseless to this point, occupy her time and money.

This is one smart lady....I cannot wait to see her attack The One and his Congressional minions. What a HUGE & EASY target.

Now if the MSM will only report on her statements....that may be a bit much to expect! There is, however, the blogosphere.

Palin Clears The Air!

& we have a FORMER Governor in the race!

Sara Palin has announced she will step down as Alaska's Governor.

That should answer any questions about her intentions.....and coincidentally (not really) drive the liberal left into a feeding frenzy like a school of piranha. Palin is in it for 2012. That much is simple.

I love it. Gives us the opportunity to see how many new and pitiful hit pieces these foaming-at-the-mouth liberal idiots can develop. If you thought they were vicious previously, you ain't seen nothing yet. Now they will go into the famed liberal attack mode.

She'll be sleeping with her dog, not the REAL mother of her children, and so much more. The vicious left can be brutal in their evil thoughts.

These KOSacks of the left are going to be mad as hell that she would defy them and run in spite of their best efforts so far to mount a smear campaign way beyond any of their best Bushitler devices.

Now......allow me to pose a serious question.

Could the woman be headed toward a new 3rd party? One based off the MAD AMERICANS who this weekend will attend more than 600 Tea Parties? She is a bit of a maverick, and loves to tangle with the establishment. She seems to defy all of the traditional political logic of the DEMs and GOPs....

I'd not be surprised. I'd welcome it!

Two Views of Our Country...Not A Pretty Picture!

Shawn Mallow at Wizbang:

"The time we are in sickens me. Our representatives possess no qualities redeemable or virtuous. Politicians of our time have deviated from the path of righteousness. A path which their early predecessors left as a legacy for them to follow. One passed down from those who held a personal sense of philosophical integrity, and a deep belief in civic duty. I speak of those which once gave their very lives in pursuit of liberty, who were consumed with notions of goodwill, tempered with boundless wisdom and enthusiasm for the formation of a government worthy of a free people, exempt from fear and oppression.

These visionaries are gone. They are memories from an important past long since vanished, found only within the writings of history books, biographies, or marble statues. They are emulated by no one. The stark realities reveal today's politicians to be nothing more than deceitful, deviant creatures. Men and women in pursuit of corruptible power. In this quest of selfish purpose, they leave in their wake a path of hopeless ruination, using fear to promote a subversive agenda, spitting on the very cause for which greater men gave their all.

Yes, there are some very intelligent, insightful people in positions of political power. Most end up as uninspired policy wonks: Continually attempting to figure out how to beat the other at that which has become nothing more than a game of dull political wit and petty brinkmanship."

Yeah...This also occured to me.....

Just a little quiz:

Ed McMahon died last week. He was a great entertainer, but prior to his stage accomplishments he was a distinguished Marine Corps fighter pilot in WWII earning six Air Medals and attaining the rank of Colonel. He was discharged in 1946 and was later promoted to the rank of Brigadier General in the CA Air National Guard.

Farrah Fawcett died last week after a long career in Hollywood as an actress. After she was diagnosed with cancer, she became an activist for cancer treatment and devoted her last remaining years encouraging people to seek treatment. She documented her plight on film and used it to encourage others to stay positive and upbeat despite their diagnosis and suffering.

Michael Jackson died last week. He was perhaps one of the greatest singers of modern time. He will also be remembered for his eccentric lifestyle that included sleeping with a chimpanzee, living in a carnival-like atmosphere at Neverland, his fascination with Peter Pan, and his numerous masks and costumes. He also admitted to finding pleasure sleeping with young boys and paying out millions of dollars in settlements to the families of these boys despite being acquitted by a court on one allegation of sexual molestation.

QUESTION - Which of the above did the House of Representatives declare a moment of silence for on Monday? (Hint - It wasn't the first two.)

QUESTION - Which of the above's family received a personal note of condolence from President Obama?

(Hint - It wasn't the first two.)

Don't suppose "The Anointed" has plans for changing things here as far as term limits on the Presidency do you?

Canada's plan is in tatters; Great Britain is back-tracking quickly on theirs. In both places treatment is delayed/denied/or some variation thereof with regularity. Yet they are often held up as examples of success by the Obamaites who bliundly charge forward. Their lack of insight reminds me of the old saw about "my mind's made up, don't confuse me with facts!"
