Lips

Posted By Jim Babcock

As you would expect from a corrupt politician who learned his trade in the streets of Chicago under the leadership of Wright, Obama and his Administration are not being consistent and clear to the American public when it comes to their agenda and plans. This is no where more true than the inconsistent messages about tax increases for the middle class. The Administration is all across the board.

Divergent messages from the Obama administration in the past two days hint at a tough political reality: Nobody likes higher taxes, but that may be the price of getting America’s fiscal house back in order.

Although Barack Obama campaigned on a pledge of no tax hikes on the middle class, top administration officials on Sunday appeared to open the door to rethinking that position. Then on Monday the White House press secretary said the door really isn’t open.

Either way, the discussion of possible tax hikes is already out of the stable. Economists generally agree with Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner that the nation is on an unsustainable fiscal path, and that hard choices will need to be made – although the reckoning may not occur on Mr. Obama’s watch. Some say the magnitude of the hole to be filled is so large that spending cuts alone are unlikely to do the job.

We told the people before they voted, and yet they put this extremist into office. Now is the time to speak to your representatives and make sure that they stop his madness.

Tactics

Posted By Jim Babcock

Finally with the American people standing up to the madness of the Obama Administration some of the Republicans in congress are beginning to respond to Obama's jack boot thug tactics. The intimidation that Obama learned from Wright while he was in the hood appears to no longer be effective against Repubs. The Repubs have no say in anything that happens in government at this time, so maybe this along with voter protests will get some of the less loony Dems to also begin to resist the Chicago thug tactics used so often by this disaster of a President.

http://republicans.oversight.house.gov/News/PRArticle.aspx?NewsID=625

Following reports that White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel has been orchestrating an effort to intimidate members of Congress and Governors who raise legitimate concerns regarding the effectiveness of the stimulus, House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Ranking Member Darrell Issa (R-CA) sent a letter to Emanuel saying “While this type of scare tactic may work In Chicago, it will not work to intimidate me or other Members of the United States Congress.”

You can help defeat Obama's insane policies by contacting your representative and letting them know that if they continue to support Obama then they will lose their seat.

Children

The Obama Administration is full of jack boot thugs who think that they know everything while everyone else should just bask in their brilliance. What is great is to hear how the libs act when people challenge them. They are like whining little spoiled brats who think that they deserve whatever they ask for. A current example of this is what happened when Geithner met with the Fed and he was questioned. How dare someone question the brilliant libs in the Obama Administration. As per par for libs he did a lot of cussing while he threw his tantrum.

http://dealbook.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/08/04/geithner-said-to-lose-his-cool-at-regulators-meeting/

Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner blasted top regulators in an expletive-laden tirade amid frustration over President Barack Obama’s faltering plan to overhaul financial regulation

Let us all hope that everyone in Washington and across the country continues the uproar over Obama's plans and that the libs continue to demonstrate just how childish they are as we get closer and closer to the mid term elections. Just imagine how great it would be to see Obama crying on the shoulders of his friends in the media every night if he lost control of congress and sanity were instilled into the government. The libs need a check on them and that is what the coming election is about. We are at the start of the election season and we all need to contact our representatives to let them know that their seat is in jeopardy if they continue to support the dastardly plans of the Joker Obama.

Man made global warming

Posted By Jim Babcock

I am not sure if this one goes here or in the Global Warming Forum.

I have long said that based on Al Gore's predictions and those of many scientists, along with the fact that China, India and the third world will do nothing to curb their carbon footprint, that we need to be taking actions now, not to reduce global warming (as stated above, it is a certainty) but rather to move cities and start reducing the impact of the certain catastrophe. Additionally, I have advocated that all of the plans related to green energy and all are by definition ineffectual since the problem is man. In order to reduce man made global warming, there is only one solution, reduce the human population.

While I have yet to see any scientists or libs advocate or even discuss the first part (I will come back to this again at the end), there is now the start of discussion about the second. Here is an article.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/livescience/20090803/sc_livescience/savetheplanethavefewerkids

For people who are looking for ways to reduce their "carbon footprint," here's one radical idea that could have a big long-term impact, some scientists say: Have fewer kids.

A study by statisticians at Oregon State University concluded that in the United States, the carbon legacy and greenhouse gas impact of an extra child is almost 20 times more important than some of the other environment-friendly practices people might employ during their entire lives - things like driving a high mileage car, recycling, or using energy-efficient appliances and light bulbs.


The current Administration came into office on a platform that among other things left people to believe that Obama was going to solve global warming. The question is will he? Based on looking at his extensive 6 months of experience and the mantra of his Administration, we can now make a reasonable guess; NO. Why not one may ask? Well it is not a disaster yet so how can they take full political advantage? I am certain that the Obama Administration has a plan that will take this problem and turn it into a giant disaster, just as they have with everything else they have touched.

The best way to stop Obama and his insane way of running this country is to talk to our representatives and tell them to no longer give Obama a blank check with your descendants names on it or they will lose their seat in the coming election.

Unrestricted

Posted By Jim Babcock

If you break a bone, have an ear ache, have a bad stomach ache or bump you head, then you see a doctor and your insurance normally would include coverage. What if a woman gets pregnant and thinks that it would be inconvenient at this time? Well with Obamacare abortions will be covered.

http://asia.news.yahoo.com/ap/20090805/twl-us-health-care-overhaul-abortion-ef375f8.html

The Democratic health care legislation as originally introduced in the House and Senate did not mention abortion. That rang alarm bells for abortion opponents.

Since abortion is a legal medical procedure, experts on both sides say not mentioning it would allow health care plans in the new insurance exchange to provide unrestricted coverage.


If the libs get their way, your tax dollars will be used to provide unrestricted abortion on demand. If you disagree with the way that the libs are running this place then you need to contact your representatives to make sure that they understand that their seat is in jeopardy unless they help stop the Obama madness.

Thuggery

Posted By Jim Babcock

More jack boot thug tactics of the President have been uncovered.

http://blogs.abcnews.com/thenote/2009/08/gop-senator-white-house-encroaching-on-first-amendment.html

A Republican senator is calling for the White House to suspend a new project that asks members of the public to flag “fishy” claims about President Obama’s health care plans, arguing that it raises privacy concerns and will serve to chill free speech.

Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, is sending a letter to the White House today asking the president to “cease this program immediately” -- or to explain how Americans’ privacy will be protected if e-mails are forwarded to the White House as requested.

“I am not aware of any precedent for a President asking American citizens to report their fellow citizens to the White House for pure political speech that is deemed ‘fishy’ or otherwise inimical to the White House’s political interests,” Cornyn writes

“I can only imagine the level of justifiable outrage had your predecessor asked Americans to forward emails critical of his policies to the White House. I suspect that you would have been leading the charge in condemning such a program -- and I would have been at your side denouncing such heavy-handed government action.”


The demonic President uses whatever tactics he can imagine to push his liberal and socialist policies. What is next having children call the government when their parents speak ill of Heir Obama? We must stop this dictator in his tracks by contacting our representatives and letting them know that we do not approve of Obama's thuggery.

Plastic

Posted By Jim Babcock

Did you hear about Obama's latest catastrophe? The world is being covered by plastic.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20090804/us_nm/us_ocean_plastics

Marine scientists from California are venturing this week to the middle of the North Pacific for a study of plastic debris accumulating across hundreds of miles (km) of open sea dubbed the "Great Pacific Garbage Patch."

The United States need to stop all use of plastic. Big Plastic needs to be taxed out of business. We need to eliminate those plastic sucking factories who make Christmas toys.

So the only question is how will Obama take full advantage of this disaster?

Hit list

Posted By Jim Babcock

It is not surprising for a dictator who uses intimidation and coercion to have an enemies hit list. Despite Obama's statements during the campaign about getting past partisan politics, he acts more like a third world thug dictator everyday. His hit squads that he sends out to intimidate are legendary. His hit list may also become part of the legacy of the loony left. We now know more about his hit list. Here is an article.

Worse

Posted By Jim Babcock

After 6 Months, More View Obama's Presidency as a 'Failure' Than Bush's.

http://realclearpolitics.blogs.time.com/2009/08/06/after-6-months-more-view-obamas-presidency-as-a-failure-than-bushs/

Obama had lots of opportunity to demonstrate his brilliance by resolving the many issues he had on his plate, but instead followed his liberal mantra of not letting a disaster go by without taking full advantage. The public understand that he is just an extremist liberal Chicago thug who is out to destroy this country.

Lemonade

Posted By Jim Babcock

Only in a state that is as loony as the left coast state of California would there be a government that goes to the extreme of shutting down lemonade stands created by 8 year olds to get more tax revenue and to punish success. How liberal of them.
