What Veteran Can't Get Behind This?
What Veteran Can't Get Behind This?
Hope(less) Change One Year Later
It’s been a year since the rock star campaign appearances, swooning fans, and telepromptered oratory all culminated in the election of Barack Hussein Obama as President of the United States. Now that the hype has died down and reality has kicked in, how are Obama’s politics of Hope & Change working?
For starters, the economy is hopeless. With more than $800 billion allocated for the stimulus package, the economy hasn’t shown any signs of improvement. Obama is touting the 3.5 percent growth in the GDP during the 3rd quarter as evidence that his economic policies are working. Economists disagree. They attribute the GDP numbers to stimulus money reaching consumers through the Cash for Clunkers program and first time homebuyer’s tax credit. The Cash for Clunkers program cost taxpayers $24,000 per vehicle, and the homebuyer's tax credit cost taxpayers $43,000 per home.This year the federal budget deficit tripled to a record $1.4 trillion, topping last year’s record deficit of $459 billion. That’s nearly 10 percent of the GDP. And the Obama administration has forecast a 10-year budget deficit of nearly $9 trillion dollars to pay for all its big government spending programs.Adding to the pressure on the economy is the devastating unemployment rate. Last November, the unemployment rate stood at 6.7 percent nationally. Today it’s 10.2 percent and even higher in 15 states including Michigan, Rhode Island, Nevada, California, Oregon, Ohio and Florida.Obama claims the stimulus package saved or created 650,000. Since there's no such economic measurement as a saved job, we'll stick to job creation. If this number is correct, that’s a cost of more than $71,000 per job created. The fact is, the economy has lost 3.6 million jobs over the past year and continued job losses are expected.Read the rest over at the Chicky's place, Coffee Milk Conservative.

Got Yo Money
All Hail Barack, Our Savior
(Maybe we'll get lucky, and his next magic trick will be to make himself disappear: He'll close his eyes and tap his heals together three times and say there's no place like Kenya, there's no place like Kenya, there' no place like ...)
Sorry.
I was starting to think it could actually happen and got carried away. Anyway, you can listen to the song version by Tom Paine here while you read along.
I came upon a college kid,
Whose eyes were wide with glee,
He said Barack Obama,
Was sent to set us free!
All hail Barack, our savior,
Disciples faint and cry,
While listening to his rhetoric,
Rising to the sky.
Yes give us Hope, and give us Change,
And give us much much more,
Barack has said "We are the ones,
That we've been waiting for!"
All hail the god of government,
Give me my daily bread,
While robbing me of dignity,
My soul will soon be dead.
For you and your utopia,
Beware what history's said,
Toil, tears and tyranny,
(Who knows how many dead?)
We smile now for the crisis,
To our economy,
And count the blessings of a crash,
To finally set us free!
The market's broke, there's too much greed,
It's plain for all to see,
That's why Barack says now we need,
A NEW philosophy!
We all must look to government,
Barack says, "Look to ME!
Because I have the answer, it's,
Economic equality!"
From each by their ability,
To each to fill their need,
"Yes I, Barack, will show you how
To purge yourself of greed."
All hail the god of government,
Give me my daily bread,
While robbing me of dignity,
My soul will soon be dead.
For you and your utopia,
Beware what history's said,
Toil, tears and tyranny,
(Who knows how many dead?)
Barack, he went to Harvard,
His Czars all went to Yale,
So THEY know how to run your life,
Or throw you into to jail.
All hail our big computers,
Run by men from MIT
Their brains replace the marketplace,
With government, you'll see!
All hail the god of government,
Give me my daily bread,
While robbing me of dignity,
My soul will soon be dead.
For you and your utopia,
Beware what history's said,
Toil, tears and tyranny,
(Who knows how many dead?)
And you there clinging to your guns,
Religion, property,
Hear his words, check out his smile,
And let him set you free!
His plans require our patience,
A moment, you will see,
How things get when he shuts up Beck,,
Limbaugh and Hannity
All hail the god of government,
Give me my daily bread,
While robbing me of dignity,
My soul will soon be dead.
For you and your utopia,
Beware what history's said,
Toil, tears and tyranny,
(Who knows how many dead?)
The Socialist temptation,
Gleams like a shining star,
When men will trade their freedom,
For bread, a house, a car.
Beware of unchecked ego,
Beware the Master Plan!
For men with all the answers,
Take freedom when they can.
Herr Hitler was a genius,
His was the Master Race,
A "thousand year" utopia,
That brought mankind disgrace.
But, wait, there's Comrade Lenin,
And Comrade Stalin too,
They gave us all a paradise,
That mankind came to rue.
But look, here's Castro's Cuba
A Socialist Paradise,
And when you voice your protest,
That's when you're put on ice.
All hail the god of government,
Give me my daily bread,
While robbing me of dignity,
My soul will soon be dead.
For you and your utopia,
Beware what history's said,
Toil, tears and tyranny,
(We dare not count the dead)
We pray to Comrade Stalin,
And Mao and Ho Chi Minh,
We pray that they forgive us of,
Our capitalistic sin.
Oh see our youthful legions,
As they swear oaths to Barrack,
And by their cultish worship,
Our forbears they do mock.
NOW Hail Barack, our savior,
Yes, HAIL, that's what I said!
You dare oppose our savior,
Then YOU will join the dead!
All Hail Barack, Our Savior

Our National "Healer"
Iowahawk has a post over his way rounding up the headlines the MSM wished they could have run about the moonbat jihadi murderer of 13 and shooter of 29 others last week at Ft. Hood.
(Per my promise to the dead, I'm not going to defile their memory with mention of the bastard's name in the same universe as them, but I'm really glad he's alive; maybe he'll get beheaded and crucified in public as a result. Probably not, though. The murderer's lawyer is already trotting out the issue of "mental responsibility.")
Naturally, in keeping with MSM tradition -- that is, shamelessly making us satirists look brilliant -- reality imitated art this morning when the AP came out with this beauty, "Obama pressed into role of healer, inevitably," as the pResident was heading off to Ft. Hood today for the memorial honoring those killed and wounded. (It's my position that the best thing Zero could do for Ft. Hood, really, is to stay home, but the White House ... strangely ... continues to ignore my counsel.)
Now, I don't know about you, but "healer" isn't an attribute I'd ever put alongside The Joker's name.
But I can think of a few others:
National Stealer
National Squealer
National Reeler
National Wheeler and Dealer
I'd even go so far as to make the claim, in my best impersonation of an illegal Mexican immigrant, that he's the National Keeelller for still not deciding on a policy for the war in Afghanistan.
And, with apologies for breaking the rhythm of the rhyme, he can always be called the National Attacker for spanking any news organization that dares to report anything truthful. Just ask FOX News.
But, to bring this back around to the other mooslem in the news, you really can't expect the MSM to get down to the bare and cold and painful reality of an issue, not when ABC is saying things about the Ft. Hood 72-virgin-seeker like: "I wish his name was Smith."
After all, as I noted elsewhere yesterday, ABC undoubtedly would be a better news organization if it were named Aljazeera. As would 99.9 percent of its colleagues.
P.P.S. May they rest in peace...
P.P.S. Wow ... just wow. ... Click to embiggen and read, then click for this response.

Project Valour IT -- Give to Those Who Gave For Us
Project Valour IT can provide these troops with voice-activated laptops and other high-tech gear. Please take some time to learn about this project, then make a donation via the widget at the very bottom of the post.
From Villainous Company:
Project Valour-IT began when Captain Charles "Chuck" Ziegenfuss was wounded by an IED while serving as commander of a tank company in Iraq in June 2005.Here's more of CPT Ziegenfuss' story, reposted from Cao's Blog:
During his deployment he kept a blog. Captivating writing, insightful stories of his experiences, and his self-deprecating humor won him many loyal readers. After he was wounded, his wife continued his blog, keeping his readers informed of his condition.
As he began to recover, CPT Ziegenfuss wanted to return to writing his blog, but serious hand injuries hampered his typing. When a loyal and generous reader gave him a copy of the Dragon Naturally Speaking Preferred software, other readers began to realize how important such software could be to CPT Ziegenfuss' fellow wounded soldiers and started casting about for a way to get it to them.
A fellow blogger who writes under the pseudonym FbL contacted Captain Ziegenfuss and the two realized they shared a vision of creating libraries of laptops with voice-controlled software that could be brought to the bedsides of wounded soldiers whose injuries prevented them from operating a standard computer. FbL contacted Soldiers' Angels, who offered to help develop the project, and Project Valour-IT was born.
In sharing their thoughts, CPT Ziegenfuss and FbL found that memories of their respective fathers were a motivating factor in their work with the project. Both continue their association with this project in memory of the great men in their lives whose fine examples taught them lasting lessons of courage and generosity.
Cao also notes:
The fundraiser ends Wednesday, November 11th, Veteran's Day. Please donate here:Chuck blogs at From My Position on the Way, here.
Read about Chuck and his steadfast and courageous Carren, here and their amazing attitudes while he was recovering from his injuries.

I Can't Help It If You Come Here With Baggage
Now. For my regulars ...
I'd planned to take some time away, to collect my thoughts, to post something of substance later, because ... the reality is: We're at war. And what's coming is not for the feint of heart.

I'll check in with you when I've calmed down enough to find my center.

A Grumpy Old Twat Sighting
A Grumpy Old Twat Sighting
Hell Just Froze Over
Pigs are flying.
And monkeys are too ... from Obama's ass.
Why, you ask?
Because the MSM just called Obama on his insensitivity toward the people, and their families, who were murdered yesterday at Ft. Hood by a moonbat jihadi yelling "Allahu Akhbar."
But instead of a somber chief executive offering reassuring words and expressions of sympathy and compassion, viewers saw a wildly disconnected and inappropriately light president making introductory remarks. At the event, a Tribal Nations Conference hosted by the Department of Interior's Bureau of Indian affairs, the president thanked various staffers and offered a "shout-out" to "Dr. Joe Medicine Crow -- that Congressional Medal of Honor winner." Three minutes in, the president spoke about the shooting, in measured and appropriate terms. Who is advising him?I don't know about you, but I'm expecting it to rain million dollar bills any minute now, too.
..................................If the president's communications apparatus can't inform -- and protect -- their boss during tense moments when the country needs to see a focused commander-in-chief and a compassionate head of state, it has disastrous consequences for that president's party and supporters.
All the president's men (and women) fell down on the job Thursday. And Democrats across the country have real reason to panic.

P.S. Why I am I not surprised? The Joker was without TOTUS the entire 2 minutes before he mentioned Ft. Hood.
P.P.S. In honor of Obama's great record on fixing the economy, Exurban League has updated the Obama logo:
P.P.P.S. This is really the gist of what Zero has said about Ft. Hood thus far:
Day 1: I’d like to give a shout out to Dr. Joe Medicine Crow. Then I’m going to laugh. Then I’m going to say a few monotone words about how it’s really tragic those guys in the Army got shot. Then I’m going to go take a crap.
Day 2: I don’t have all the facts, but I think the police acted stupidly when they shot Hasan. I’m sure all he needed was a good conversation. I have them with Mamoud all the time. Look where it’s gotten me?

Fellow Soldiers Were Murdered Today
P.S. ...
Or how Muslims are spinning the story as a "backlash against their community."
And hell froze over ... because the MSM actually called Obugger on his insensitivity.
And being a murdering shrink makes the case for him to be treated here like the Saudi Arabians would treat him.

Nurse Wretched: If Mr. Tea-bagger doesn't want to take his medication orally, I'm sure we can arrange that he can have it some other way.
McMurphy: And they say, the Republicans have no health care plan. I hope you know there's nothing in the Constitution giving you the authority for yours.
Nurse Wretched: Are you serious? Are you serious?
McMurphy: I'm a goddamn marvel of modern politics, I'm so serious.
P.S. I wonder if Nurse Wretched could hear the screams of "KILL THE BILL" from her office window today:

Last Night Was the End of the Beginning
“This is not the end; it is not even the beginning of the end, but it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.” -- William Churchill (Shamelessly stolen from TexasFred's Facebook page)
P.S. From Doug Hoffman's web site: "Only 365 days until election day 2010." via Right Klick
P.P.S. And in other news, Sir Leg Tingles Alot, wasn't too happy about this. Maybe he should have shut up when radio host Mark Williams was trying to speak:

Random blips of illogic and unimportance…
Global cooling awakened Godzira today, and he took it out on some Japanese fishermen. If we pile a mound of fish on the White House lawn, maybe he’ll take it out on Obama.
Obama has shed 15 pounds in an amazing new weight-loss plan: the Lobotomy Diet.
Al Gore announced he’s a greedy polluting asshole out to make a profit. His anti-capitalist followers turned out their lights … and bought more stock.
Today’s episode of The Sopranos: Corzine’s Gang Bangers:
Howard Fineman’s “of course Obama is much smarter than us” makes Chris Matthews’ “thrill up my leg” seem like an amateur man crush.
What do Gordon Brown, Barack Obama and Hamid Karzai have in common? They all could have started their political careers in Chicago.
Somehow I don’t foresee a beer summit with Hannity. I do, however, foresee Obama giving Hannity a blanket loaded with smallpox.
Seven black lawmakers are under investigation by the House ethics committee for being thieving assholes. Nancy Pelosi will hold a press conference later today to announce the committee is racist.
