Bring a Kleenex–This’ll Make You Well Up With Pride!

Oct 30, 08 11:03 PM

I saw this video when it first came out, and something serious happened that day; I forgot about it and had never bookmarked it, so I didn’t know how to find it again.  Luckily, it’s gotten eleven million plus hits, so it’s made most of the major news networks.  It brought tears to my eyes.  Next time you see a soldier, sailor, marine or airman, even if they’re just recruiters, shake their hands.  This guy deserves far more than I know he’s getting, and if Barack wins, he’ll slash military spending–including VA benefits, just like Clinton did.

It’s short.  Watch it through to the end.

What Wealth Redistribution Hath Wrought

Oct 29, 08 6:47 PM

Most of the media hasn’t had much to say about Barack Obama’s recent comments to the now-infamous Joe the Plumber, a working-class guy in Ohio who had the audacity to ask Barack to his face about his tax plans.  Barack specifically said, “we need to spread the wealth around!”  The conservative blogosphere went nuts for Joe, liberals in key offices illegally searched for information on him, and McCain immediately made him the posterchild for blue-collar America.  In the conundrum we’ve lost the reality of Barack’s remarks–though stories aplenty, including taped radio interviews with a younger Barack Obama, prove that he firmly believes in socialist wealth redistribution ideals.  Joe Biden denies it, but it’s right there, staring us all in the face.

I have a different kind of posterchild for you.  She’s the posterchild for Barry O’s “wealth redistribution” plans.  You might even recognize her:

Her name is Sharon Jasper, and she’s a classic example of what happens when you take from those that have and give to those that have not.  The trouble with Sharon isn’t that she can’t work.  She’s not disabled at all; in fact, she was arrested last year for a very spirited, physical protest outside of a public housing unit in New Orleans that was to be razed for the rebuilding effort.  Her education level is unknown, but she can at least string enough words together to get her point across.  She was caught on video screaming anti-white epithets at a man quietly sitting in a city council meeting and asking her to calm down so the meeting could start.

I blogged about her last year.  After the debacle at the city council meeting, Jasper allowed a reporter and photographer from the Times-Picayune into her home, which she described as a “slum,” to get her point across.  She made herself a laughingstock.  She took the reporter onto her balcony and said, “I may be poor, but I don’t like to live poor.  I thank God for a place to live, but sometimes it’s pitiful what people give you.”  She was snapped, sitting in her so-called slum, on brand-new furniture with hardwood floors and a 60-inch Sony flatpanel TV next to her.  Some research showed that the TV was selling at Best Buy at the time for well over $10,000.  She also pointed to a homeless encampment a half mile away and said, “I might do better in one of those tents!”  (She might miss her TV, though!)

I pointed out then that Jasper also bragged about taking her daughter to the welfare office on her 18th birthday to begin collecting her very own welfare check every month.  Jasper’s family lost their house in Hurricane Katrina, a home they’d owned for generations in a part of New Orleans that was crime-ridden and flooded with welfare dependents.  After the storm, they were given public housing and told to use the help to get back on their feet.  They never did.  When the news came that the extra check they’d been getting ON TOP OF THEIR MONTHLY WELFARE CHECK was about to stop and their housing was about to be rebuilt, Jasper threw a fit.  All of those like her did.

This is what wealth redistribution does–it sounds like a good idea on the surface, at least to those who aren’t rich and paying more.  It takes from those who have and gives to those who don’t, but when you keep doing that long enough, eventually you create an entire class of people who aren’t concerned with getting an education or actually earning a living.  They could care less about acquiring useful skills.  Why do that when you can sit on your backside your entire life and drink and/or snort the check the government gives you every month?  At least you don’t have high blood pressure and stress from working every day, right?

That’s not what a free society is supposed to do.  If I’m working for my money, I damn well expect to keep it.  I was raised to work hard for what I have so I could appreciate it.  If you want a good idea of the stark contrast between what attitudes were during the great depression, first watch Cinderella Man–then watch Million Dollar Baby.  Both movies will make you cry.  Both movies show the reality of welfare as it is today.

The Sharon Jaspers of America live only for their next handout.  They’ve been getting it so long that they live in a culture of expectation.  Wealth redistribution only makes society weaker, and America cannot afford that now.

BE NICE

Oct 27, 08 2:43 PM

While I sit here with an ice pack on my lower lumbar vertibrae because I’m incapable of following directions…figure I’ll make myself useful.

I just got another political call.  I’ve been getting a steady stream of them, mostly automated calls.  The automated ones are the ones that really get my hackles up.  But the one I just got for Proposition 102, the Arizona marriage amendment, made me stop and think.

The Prop 102 signs have seen a spate of vandalization recently that I’m not so cool with.  I don’t agree with vandalizing or stealing political signs, because it shows just how juvenile you’re willing to be to win.  To me, it’s like cheating.  I drove past one on 67th avenue just North of Union Hills that had “NO” spraypainted over the “yes” and the “one man, one woman” x’ed out–and “HATEFUL PEOPLE” in hot pink just above it.  After that, I noticed several others done just the same way.  I even spied someone stealing one on 35th avenue one evening, stuffing it in the trunk and rushing to get back in their silver Honda Civic.

That’s not the way to sway voters.  In fact, to most of the people supporting the marriage amendment, it’s classic persecution and makes them believe that they’re mandated by God to win because of it.  Do you really think you’re going to change anyone’s mind by doing this?  Do you think that getting mad and yelling and screaming is going to be the best way to make your point?

A live person was on the call I just received.  Instead of doing what I know some of my friends–particularly my roommates–would have done, I very calmly said, “ma’am, I understand you have a job to do, but I don’t believe in this law.  I’m a lesbian and I won’t be voting for it.”  I didn’t get into a snit, I didn’t preach, I just said what I think and let it go.  She wasn’t offended, and in fact, sounded surprised that I was so nice about it.  She actually thanked me.

After spending my teenage years getting in peoples’ faces and beating them about the head and shoulders with my bible, I’ve learned that my dad was right–you really do catch more bees with honey than you do with vinegar.  It’s a lot easier to be pleasant, even with someone you disagree with on this issue, than it is to scream and yell and get your blood pressure up about it.

There’s a time and place for anger.  I don’t think this is the time or the place.  The supporters of this amendment expect us to get angry and indignant about it.  Let’s shock them awake by being nice.

Yep…They’re Just Here to WORK.

Oct 25, 08 7:12 PM

Another Phoenix police officer has been killed in the line of duty by an illegal immigrant.

In the early hours this morning, officer Shane Figueroa was running full code (lights and sirens) to a call of shots fired when, passing through the intersection at 19th avenue and Roeser road–South Central Phoenix, or Maryvale for those not in Arizona–a white pickup truck turned in front of him too closely for him to stop.  Shane was likely killed on impact.  A passenger in the truck was transported to the hospital for serious injuries.

But the driver, 50-year-old Jose Rivas Gonzalez, was drunk.  I’d wager he was drunk off his ass.  He was treated for “minor” injuries and immediately booked into our infamous Fourth Avenue Jail, where he told investigators he was an “undocumented worker” from Mexico.

Translation: HE’S A FREAKIN’ ILLEGAL ALIEN who’s been leeching off of us for God knows how long.

Of course, the Arizona Repugnant can’t come out and say it.  They have to be politically correct about it, lest they anger the gods of the Hispanic community.  I don’t know what the climate is like in the states where the rest of our readers reside–I know Philip is in the Dallas area, liberal as hell–but in Arizona, the Hispanics practically run the media.  The illegal community (yes, I said it, make it a social buzzword because we do have one) gets their panties in a twist any time the media says anything disparaging regarding crime rates, including DUI, involving illegal aliens in America.

Well, I’m not the media, hombres.  I’m a middle-class nobody representing Joe Schmoe America, and I’m pissed.

Shane leaves behind a wife and a 3-month-old baby all because Jose Borderjumper didn’t have the cojones to call a cab.  Why?  I will never forget about a year ago, on my way home from a friend’s home in Queen Creek, I got on I-10 in Mesa and headed back to my home on the far Northwest side.  I almost immediately got hit by a trashy gold-colored Chevrolet Astro minivan, the driver so drunk he was literally taking up all four lanes.  I blogged about it then.  I called DPS dispatchers every ten minutes to give them an update and I followed the piece of trash, skipping my turnoff on I-17 to stay with the dude.  He nearly hit every car he came across, including a Phoenix police cruiser (who, by the way, never stopped the guy).  His driving was so dangerous I’m still shocked he never hit anyone.

Around Litchfield road (the far, far West end of the Valley, a good 70 miles from where it all started), he decided after actually passing the exit that it was time to get off the freeway.  Despite an almost sheer drop from the freeway surface to the frontage road and all the cactus and trees between point A and point B, dipshit swerved, cut off another minivan, and rolled down the embankment.  At the bottom he finally righted himself, and with myself and three other people on the side of the road trying to get down to him to yank him out of his van, he had the patent nerve to poke his head out the window, wave at us, holler something in very alcohol-garbled Spanish (I think I caught “what’s up” somewhere in there), laugh and pull away.  We lost him.  Seventy miles of freeway antics and we never saw height nor hair of a DPS officer.

I wonder if anyone called Gonzalez in.  I wonder if whoever was serving the drinks at the place where he got pissing drunk ever thought to cut him off or take his keys away.  I do not, however, wonder why Gonzalez thought it’d be a good idea to drive home extremely drunk.  In Latino society, it’s considered almost heroic to get completely trashed and still drive home.  If you make it, you’re the man.  DUI deaths are astronomical South of our border, and these cretins are bringing it into our country with them.  They didn’t care to come into our country legally.  What makes anybody think they care to follow the law once they’re here?

At the hour Shane was going through that intersection, traffic would have been very light and Gonzalez would have been able to see him coming from a mile off with his lights going.  This after officer Nick Erfle was shot to death by a violent illegal who had to be shot by a sniper after taking a hostage, a 21-year-old mafioso who’d been running with gangs since he could walk.

Where does it stop?  When do we say enough is enough, stop pandering to these losers and tell ‘em to get the hell out?  Are the liberals out there listening?  Is Juan McAmnesty (aka John McCain) listening?  What about Obama, who also favors shamnesty?  How many widows and children will be left behind before we wake the hell up?  At this point I’d be satisfied if the media would stop brushing this problem off and call it for what it is.  We might go a long way toward doing what we need to do if everyone wasn’t worried about being so goddamned politically correct.

Commence with the cries of racism in 3…2…1…

I Knew I Was Right, But DAMN…

Oct 24, 08 1:58 PM

OPEC, on a mission spearheaded by Iran and Venezuela, managed to cut production by 1.5 million barrels a day.  Saudi Arabia actually refused to cut production and, in fact, is pushing for the reduction to be stopped.  But despite their best efforts, oil prices continue to plummet.  After Iran’s oil minister said (and I quote), “the era of cheap oil is finished,” oil stocks continued to drop today.  They settled at less than $64 a barrel. 

They’ll meet again in December to revisit the issue and decide whether they want to cut production even more, but as I said, Saudi Arabia is against the cut in production.  I hate to sound like a broken record, but with the massive spike in prices over the last year, they gave us a taste of a life we have no desire to live.  We’re not willing to give up everything else to be able to drive gas-guzzling SUV’s.  Now the Iranian oil minister is all smiles, thinking they’re gonna get what they want after trying to proverbially slash our throats with the prices we were paying?  He’s joking, right?

When gas hit $4.10 a gallon here in Phoenix, I read Bill Hennessey’s blog and he predicted a collapse.  I told him not to tease me, but I agreed that with the pain induced by filling up our tanks oil prices could only drop or else people would just stop driving and cease the need for oil and gas.  Prices are continuing to drop not nearly as much because of the financial crisis (the dollar is getting stronger, folks) as it is because they forced us to figure out ways to cut back on our need.  Now that we know what they want, let’s drill and start studying chemistry like it’s going out of style.

Presidential “Race” Cards: Rush is onto something

Oct 21, 08 10:22 PM

What’s better than a 50% African-American running on behalf of socialist liberals who don’t like to work? How about a 100% African-American like Condoleezza Rice who; while Barack was “experiencing racism” from his grandmother who happened to be the sole bread winner (whom he’s flying to visit in Hawaii), actually witnessed good friends killed in Birmingham during the riots.

But somehow, Condi turned out to be an Uncle Tom who managed to escape writing books on racism to advance herself politically. Nah, Condi did it the “Uncle Tom” way by graduating college at age 19 and earning her doctorate at age 24 and becoming the youngest African-American AND woman to control the educational department and budget at Stanford and served as a distinguished political science

 My sweet moonbat-buddy Robert continues to leave comments on my page, so I have decided to answer the last one directly.

Yes, this campaign is about “race.” White liberals who are under-achievers and spend their time blaming the rest of society for their troubles, lack of personal responsibility, liberal spending in their own lives, and academic failures, are campaigning on this more than blacks are in the public eye.

The fact is the Democratic Party has had many chances to appoint African-Americans to high positions, but coming out of their Klan clubs, it took the darlings a while to warm up. Then when they finally did warm up, they decided that blacks had to pass litmus tests before they would help them out.

Conventionally, for liberals, the more death statistics fly up among black males in the inner cities, the better their pro-socialist arguments can go. The more black mothers are on welfare, the more they can argue pro-taking away from hard-working Americans to “spread the wealth around.

They love it. And of course, with no work ethics whatsoever, can we really blame them?

People like Robert and the blacks in the inner cities killing one another in gangs oppose removal of gun bans so that decent Americans are prohibited from defending themselves. People like Robert are willing to sell their countries and its ideals out for a one-time handout that basically keeps him and his peeps poor and out in the cold (but for that one-time annual welfare check he is to receive) while opportunists like Barack Obama stay powerful and wealthy, not to mention the Clintons, Howard Dean, and Barney Frank.

People like Robert mean one thing to Barack Obama. A vote.

When Rush Limbaugh factually points out that this is about race among African-Americans, liberals suddenly trade in their Klan hoods for equality swords.

Any real American (white or black) knows that the only reason Barack Obama was nominated as President is because liberals like Robert love the fact that he promotes more socialism than Hillary did, promotes sex-ed to kindergarteners, promotes infanticide, and whose middle name is “Hussein.

The last time liberals selected a black man for a position of high power was Thurgood Marshall, who held radical liberal views much like Obama where he joined the Warren court and assisted in laws that eventually released hardened criminals back to society, legislated Roe V Wade which eventually led to partial-birth abortion and finally, Barack’s support of infanticide.

Barack Obama voted against a Bill in Illinois that would protect the life of a baby born that had survived an abortion.

These two men were not appointed by liberals because they are “black,” they are appointed because they were/are insane!

(Robert originally endorsed Dennis Kucinich whom makes Barack look like a moderate).

A poll released last week by the Military Times reveals that of almost 5,000 active and enlisted military members, almost 70% support John McCain for president.

White non-Hispanics support McCain by 76% to Obama 17%.

Hispanic or Latino support McCain by 63% to Obama 27%.

Blacks support OBAMA 79% to McCain 12%.

Not about race, huh?

http://www. militarytimes. com/static/projects/pages/081003_ep_2pp. pdf

Let’s also observe the fact that the serving military right now supports John McCain and his policies. If they didn’t, they wouldn’t support him.

Two years ago, liberals were telling us that the military hated Bush and they’d be all for allowing only the military to vote in 2008.
Wonder if they’d say that now?

Apparently, Obama will really have it in for them now.

Hey, another reason for liberals to love him!

What Robert doesn’t understand though is that hard-workers like myself and others that I “pal around with” will survive even the most crazy liberal economic policy because we have what it takes. Who is really going to suffer though are the ones like Robert who are relying on Barack’s economic promises the most.

Apparently Robert needs his empty promises.

I do not.

Two More Reasons to Drill

Oct 21, 08 1:59 PM

Now that oil prices are dropping like a rock, Iran and Venezuela are heading an emergency meeting of OPEC–aka Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries–because the two countries can’t believe how quickly and how far they’ve dropped.  Due to the recession here in the United States (if you haven’t woken up yet, yes, we’re in one) oil has dropped below $72 a barrel, a far cry from the $147 a barrel being demanded in July.  Both of the aforementioned radical countries had enjoyed the skyrocketing oil prices, with Iran expanding its nuclear program and Venezuela buying mountains of Russian weapons.  Now that their fundage is being cut, they’re panicking.  They’ve had a taste of what oil can bring them, and they want that money back.  They’re trying to convince the rest of the OPEC members to cut production in a concerted effort to drive prices even higher than they were before.

I remember the fable of the golden goose.  For those unfamiliar with the story, a farmer had a goose that laid golden eggs, and while the money was good and steady, the farmer became greedy.  He demanded that the goose lay eggs faster, but the goose wasn’t able.  One day, having spent his savings, the farmer went to kill the goose to take the eggs he was sure were inside it; the goose warned him that there were no eggs waiting to be laid, that if he wasn’t patient he would lose his gift.  The farmer killed the goose anyway, only to find the goose was right.  There were no eggs waiting to be laid.  It was just a regular goose that once in a while did something extraordinary, and he’d destroyed that steady flow of income.

Iran, Venezuela, and other oil-rich nations that make most of their money from oil exports are sitting on a gold mine.  They have something the entire world needs, and it’s done very well for them so far.  But with a little taste of extra money that came from hard times in America, they have decided that they just can’t give up their newfound wealth.  So instead of being wise about it and waiting for the next boom (which is inevitable), they’re trying to force other OPEC members to join them in forcing the prices back up so they can continue to live the uber-comfortable life they’ve come to know.

What they’re forgetting is that we’ve gotten a taste of it, too.  We’ve gotten a good taste of what high gas prices are like and we are not willing to go back to that.  What they don’t realize is that if they move to drive prices back up, we here in America will be driven to do the one thing that would destroy their goldmine: drill for our own oil and research alternative fuels, making ourselves far less dependent on them and sending them scrambling to find some way to make ends meet.  They haven’t clued in to the fact that when pushed, most people push back.  If they’d just sit back and enjoy what they have they wouldn’t have anything to worry about.  But threatening to make us pay through our teeth again?  Them’s fightin’ words, ya’ll.

Go ahead, boys.  Try to put the squeeze back on us.  We’ll just find another way to provide for our oil needs and send you back to being the sand rats you really are.  Your greed will be the death of you.

Life in Prison?

Oct 20, 08 8:42 PM

In other news today, a cell phone was found in the posession of a death row inmate in Texas.  I just finished a long, drawn-out debate with a person online who had no clue that inmates weren’t allowed to have cellular phones in their cells.  Apparently, there are those out there who think this is a right that can’t be taken away and all inmates should be allowed to have phones at taxpayer expense.

Lemme point out how he was caught: he called an as-yet unnamed prominent state senator and told him that he knew where the senator’s daughters lived in a very serious threat.  Still think these douchebags should have phones?

There are a number of things inmates aren’t allowed to have.  Phones are one of the many.  Unfettered access to a phone means that an inmate can call any person he or she wants without anyone being able to decide who they can call.  If you’re a surviving victim, would you want the guy who tried to rape and kill you calling you at home?  It’s unknown whether any victims were reached, but it’s likely.  The inmate, Richard Tabler, shared the phone with nine other inmates.  His mother is actually accused of buying minutes for the phone.  Get this–it was a corrections officer who accepted a bribe to smuggle it in.

If anyone really wants to know, I’ll talk about what Tabler has been sentenced to death for.  The question here is, why is this such a big deal?  I’ve already addressed why inmates don’t have phones.  I’ve known officers who have accepted bribes to bring in narcotics.  I’ve even known a couple who have had sex with inmates.  I’ve seen them bring in everything you can imagine, including cellphones.  I was riding perimeter patrol one night when 98 KUPD played a phone call from an inmate in MY DAMNED FACILITY over the radio–made on a cell phone smuggled in by an officer who’d been bribed.

I don’t think they should have casette players, DVD or CD players, TV’s, or any of that nonsense in their cells.  Having TV’s in the dayrooms/pods is more than enough.  They can take these devices apart and make all manner of contraband–not the least of which are cutting tools, shanks, tattoo guns or even homemade firearms.  People who’ve never been there don’t understand it.  Those who are or have been officers understand it all too well.

I hope that officer is charged with a crime.  In a private facility, you can guarantee he wouldn’t have been because of the negative press; this was Texas death row, so it was state-run.  The inmates’ mother is already in jail.  But I hope that this emphasizes the reality for some of you.  When inmates have the items they’re not supposed to have, they can have a dangerously long reach.

Think Before You Vote

Oct 20, 08 12:05 PM

I ended up too busy with guests at home yesterday to post…so I’ll do it today.

I’ve talked before about the difference between thinking with one’s emotions and thinking with one’s logic.  Some of the conversations I’ve had lately have once again put this issue in the forefront of my mind, as I think there are still far too many people who base their reactions to certain things–such as politics–on their emotional feelings rather than logic.  I met a lady yesterday who is an absolute joy to spend time with, but one of the conversations we had reminded me starkly of the same conversation I’ve had with several people.

There are a handful of reasons why several of those I know are voting for Obama, but the same two keep being paraded out by everyone: abortion rights and “diplomacy”.  I have to say, there are many much larger reasons to consider before voting this year, and the diplomacy argument isn’t being considered past your own living room.  You have to really think, and genuinely expand what you know before you can say you really know why you’re voting a certain way this year.

Abortion is a big reason for a lot of women.  This, I say again, is NOT serious enough to be the sole reason to vote for any candidate, let alone our next President.  Personally, I believe abortion should be outlawed past a certain point; I believe partial-birth abortion should be outlawed as cruelty and there should be laws (ones that Obama has never supported) that protect babies delivered alive during certain abortion procedures.  I think the morning-after pill is perfectly acceptable.  Too many women, though, say they don’t want Palin to be one step away from the Presidency because they think her religion is her “agenda” somehow.

Let’s talk about Palin’s religious agenda.  That argument is stricken dead by Palin’s own record.  In her first year as governor of Alaska, the people of her state overwhelmingly voted to approve a ballot measure that would have banned gay partners of state employees from receiving benefits the way married couples do.  Yet when the resolution hit her desk, Palin unequivocally vetoed it.  If her religion is her agenda, she hasn’t shown it.  There’s no evidence of this.  Try again.

What about the War on Terror?  Has anyone considered this?  Another issue commonly raised is that we’re somehow not being “diplomatic” enough in our dealings with other countries.  I beg to differ.  We’ve been nothing but diplomatic with Iran.  Part of diplomacy means that when you’re done talking, if nothing has been accomplished, you let the other guy know that you will use force if necessary.  We’ve been very diplomatic with North Korea and Russia.  We’ve been diplomatic with everyone–even Iraq.  Bush gave Saddam the opportunity to snap to and start following the terms of surrender laid down for him in the first Gulf War, and he refused to do it.  So, Bush told him that he had until a certain date to have a change of heart, lest he be invaded.  Two days before we invaded, a massive movement of something into Syria was recorded by US military intel on satellite images.

We’ve tried diplomacy.  Where it doesn’t work, you have to be willing to stop talking, roll up your sleeves, and take a huge swing at the bad guy’s proverbial chin.  You can only talk so long before diplomacy becomes useless.  We tried diplomacy with Jimmy Carter back in the ’70′s, when Iranian radicals took the American Embassy in Tehran and held the employees hostage for over a year.  The day Reagan was inaugurated, they let the hostages go without precondition.  They knew that Reagan would beat them to death if they didn’t.  When diplomacy didn’t work with Moammar Quaddafhi, Reagan bombed the guy’s complex; he stopped supporting terrorism immediately because he knew we weren’t kidding.

Barack Obama wants to downscale our military the way Clinton did.  Clinton spent eight years downscaling our military; by the time he left office, military spending had been cut by more than 35%.  Nine months later we watched the towers fall in New York.  Coincidence?  I think not.

You have to stop feeling and start thinking.  You have to read both sides of every issue before making a decision based on a gut reaction.  If you’re not making an attempt to be logical about it, you may be making the most grave mistake of our generation.

Joe the Plumber: Real Americans Who Get it Right

Oct 16, 08 11:59 AM

Joe the Plumber is precisely why Sarah Palin should have gone into the debates in lieu of John McCain against Obama.

Joe; like Sarah, understands the problems of socialism in this wonderful country. 

Sarah and Todd Palin’s tax return from 2007 revealed them making $170K.  Joe the Plumber as well makes less than $250K.  But where does it really end?

If someone works harder than another and makes more money because of that hard work, then why are they required to pay a higher percentage rate?

Let’s do the math:

At the current tax rates, the following income brackets pay the following tax:

$15,000 = $2,250

$250,000 = $90,000

If the government cannot make do with that, we don’t need tax hikes!  We need reformers.

Joe the Plumber and last night’s debate only reaffirms the positions of millions of real Americans.

He and people like Sarah are very appealing to Americans because we concur with them.  This election is not about Washington elites, not big-government taxers and spenders, or Harvard educations.  It’s about real Americans coming together to inspire and support one another.

You don’t hand out healthcare to people, you don’t hand out welfare checks from the pockets of hard-working Americans.  You use tax money to give people a fishing pole, to give them a chance.  Obama wants to hand out whales unconditionally.

For all the flack about Wall Street, I bet I can ask every member of Main Street that shows up on this blog about other Main Streeters who make bad financial decisions.  That’s why Wall Street executives get their big salaries – by preying on those weaknesses.

The more government hands out to the irresponsible, the more irresponsible they become and sooner or later (as Joe says so eloquently says here) $150K will be the next “high scale” since the socialist plan Obama has will eliminate any person in this country to work their way to the top.

It stops now, folks!
