UAW workers mad. 

I don’t blame them. 

When the government decides which corporate giant gets welfare and which doesn’t based on arbitrary standards the whole deal smells of corruption and dishonesty. 

AIG gets billions and billions and billions. GM and Chrysler just get billions and a cutoff date with ultimatums and coercion from federal bureaucrats. 

Why is it that wall street gets the gravy train and Detroit gets the boot? 

The new Administration’s explanation smells of another lie. 

GM & Chrysler going under? 

Sadly, GM and Chrysler may be going under. Yet, the possibility of them going under is real and the question should be how do we handle it? 

Last fall bankruptcy was probably the best solution. Now it probably is still the best solution. 

Bankruptcy for GM and Chrysler will probably destroy the UAW. This is the only reason the Obama administration did not let that happen in January. 

Will Gm, Chrysler and the UAW be the latest victims of Obama’s tendency to throw his followers under the bus? 

Probably.

Racism-The white man’s burden. 

Thank goodness I’m not responsible for the sins of my ancestors. 

During the Revolutionary war, my European ancestors married my Native American ancestors-probably at gunpoint-and fought with the English Crown against the rebels. They lost that war, and fought again for the English Crown in the war of 1812, loosing both conflicts.

 To escape the wrath of the United States, my mixed blood ancestors fled to the frontier, now Indiana Illinois and Wisconsin, and displaced some of the native populations there. The native populations in these frontier areas called my relatives, the intruders, white men. However, my relatives thought of themselves as Delaware Indians. 

Is it ok for differing Native American cultures to war against each other, commit atrocities and genocide, and still have it be al right? 

So, whose sin am I responsible for? 

Am I responsible for my European relatives intermarrying with my Delaware Native relatives and keeping them alive? 

Am I responsible for my mixed European and Native American relatives fighting against the United States in two wars? Or, am I the victim of the English Crown not being strong enough to vanquish the rebels? 

I have genetic and genealogical roots in many different cultures, countries and races. Yet, my skin is what most people call white and my eyes are blue. 

Am I responsible for the Sins of African Slavery? One of my great, great grandfathers died fighting in the union army against the south. Another also fought in the union army and was severely disabled, living out his life in pain-all for the emancipation of Slaves. 

Is this sacrifice enough or need there be more compensation? 

I did not pick my relatives, but I did get their genes and have learned something about their history and sacrifice. 

Some of my relatives arrived here long before the revolutionary war. They displaced native populations and some mixed with the native populations. They fought in the revolutionary war-most on the loosing side-and in the war of 1812. After that they fled for their lives. 

Later, more of my European cousins came over and fought in the civil war, this time on the winning side-and gave their lives and limbs for freedom. 

My uncle jumped from an airplane on D-day in world war two. My father was a career cold warrior and served in occupied Germany. 

My skin is what most people call white. My eyes are blue. Yet I am a genetic mutt. 

So whose sins am I responsible for? I have many genetic links to many different people who have many grievances against each other.I have come to the conclusion that I am only responsible for my sins. 

I’m glad that I’m a mutt. I’m also a proud American. 

The only people who are responsible for the sins committed against me are those who committed them. For those folks I ask God to forgive them.

Toxic asset purchasing? 

Didn’t candidate  Obama, during the campaign, speak critically of Senator McCain’s toxic asset purchasing plan? Senator Obama called it wasteful. 

For those of you who bothered to read my ranting last fall, everything I predicted has come true thus far. The economy tanked even more, and trillions spent haven’t helped. The one thing I thought might help, purchasing toxic assets may now in fact help. 

It only took several wasted trillion dollars to figure that one out.

Gallows Humor or Punch Drunk? 

President Obama’s smirking, smiling, jovial interview with Steve Croft of 60 lies last night  left me with a sinking feeling in my guts. I had to turn it off. I couldn’t watch it. 

It’s like watching a candidate for the political equivalent of Special Olympics actually win the real Presidency and then proceed to pretend that his Special Olympics performance is real gold or silver or bronze medal worthy. 

I remember Harvard frat boys who got gentlemen’s passing grades in college-that’s a c to you and me-and still got into prestigious graduate schools because the were Harvard Frat boys. 

When the Islamic fascist light off a nuke in Des Moines, or the unemployment rate hits 25% nationally, or AIG files bankruptcy, or the economy continues it spiral down, we should remember President Obama’s smirking punch drunk gallows humor.

The Modus Operandi of the Obama Presidency. 

Ever notice how President Obama smiles when making fun of disadvantaged people groups?  Have you noticed how his press spokesman, Robert Gibbs is a smirking arrogant facsimile of the very disadvantaged group the President made fun of on the Leno show? 

Smirking, arrogant, backstabbing, story changing, dishonest, snake oil sales people; that’s how I view the President and his administration. 

I’ve quit watching Robert Gibbs offend the country with his smirking sneer. He just looks and acts like a viral social disease. He’s the kind of man you know exists in the world, but hope he’d have been put on the sexual predator list by now so he can’t hurt anymore innocent children. 

To the Obama administration the concept of responsibility null and void. It is merely a word and unrelated to the act of being responsible.

 The Obama administration is successfully orchestrating the ritual sacrifice of Tim Geitner over the AIG crisis. “It’s Tim’s fault, not ours,” is the opinion of the President.  Once again, the President is throwing one of his colleagues under the bus instead of taking responsibility. I expect his to be his modus operandi throughout his term.

Politics of Failure. 

Both parties of congress have failed the American people. Democrats and Republicans slither to and fro looking for warm meat to devour, hoping to blame easy slow moving targets for the troubles of our foundering ship. 

The American people, rightly or wrongly, paid 170 billion dollars for majority interest in AIG. Now we’re beating out what little value of our investment has with gusto. We’re taking our $170 billion investment, taking it to the financial version of demolition derby and pounding the hell out of it. 

Political rats, of all parties, are running for cover during this political riot; they’re using every weapon and fictitious  position they can think of to try to position themselves for the post war crimes trials; and they’re looking for exit strategies and alibis. 

I am horrified that these guys at AIR got millions in bonuses. I’m horrified that we spent 170 Billion for AIG in the first place. I’m horrified that the Congress and Administration knew about these bonuses and did nothing about it. I’m horrified that we’re flushing our 170 billion down the toilet via the manufactured outrage of whoring politicians. 

This is not change I believe in.

Sociopaths in Congress and the White House. 

Sociopathic behavior is common in politics. For instance, take congress, first congress passes laws that specifically protect the crooks at AIG. Then when that blows up in their face, they pretend to be outraged at the crooks in AIG and verbally filet them on camera and for the public to see. However, when their dishonest complicity is exposed they go on pretending to be outraged, even though they set up the ground work for this to happen and knew about it beforehand. 

Here are some liberal politicians on camera speaking like sociopaths.

Obama, Obama, Obama. 

I was walking past the playground at my grandson’s school the other day and I hear an old familiar chant: Liar, liar, pants on fire. That is my general response to the President’s stream of consciousness fountain of dishonesty these days. 

All you hear from the President is: My administration is not responsible for that; We are not responsible that; You can’t blame us; We might have known about that outrageous behavior but we’re still not responsible. All he seems able to do is cast blame for everything elsewhere. 

Mr. President we get it. You are not responsible now, and you probably never have been responsible. we doubt if you are capable of being responsible. We’re also pretty sure you’re not going to be capable of being responsible in the future and have stopped think you might snap out of it and be a man. 

The United States of America is under attack and all the skipper can say is: “I’m not responsible for that torpedo that just hit us.”   

Mr. President, when you command a ship you are responsible for everything. Please quit whining like a baby who is dependent on special treatment and act like the commander in chief. You got the job, now act the part. 

AIG, CROOKS & CONGRESS 

AIG is in hot water for millions in bonuses to derivatives traders. The President called this reckless and it is. Yet the President calling the AIG bonuses reckless is like a murderer calling a child molester a bad man. The President and Congress recklessly spend our way to fiscal oblivion. 

Senator Chris Dodd sticks a hidden piece of wording into the Stimulus bill to protect such behavior and he’s not called reckless? 

Outrageous behavior is so much the norm these days that we’re in danger of becoming immune to obscene public, political and corporate behavior. 

The Obama administration and Pelosi and Reid congress are jumping from obscenity to obscenity and the American people tolerate it. 

Abortion a choice?

It is according to Michael Steele, the new head of the Republican party. Officially, I rebuke Michael Steele. Unofficially, I acknowledge that the Republican party is devoid of moral authority. Over the last eight years, Republicans have spent our future into the tank; stumbled on the war on terror; tolerated dishonesty and depravity and failed to stop a really weak politician-President Obama-from becoming President. 

Be assured, Democrats will do all of this and much more to wreck out nation, but that’s for another blog entry. 

Republicans have shown back bone since being humiliated last November, but they really are just reacting to being kicked and not acting out of principle. 

Republicans have lost their principles. A Republican party without principles is unworthy of loyalty.

Pelosi wants another trillion. 

A trillion here, a trillion there, a trillion everywhere. 

The Democrats in congress are running the economic recovery the way LBJ ran the Vietnam war-with an eye on defeat. At the time the best minds in academia ran the Vietnam war like a huge ponzi scheme. They weren’t trying to win, they were trying to manage defeat until the whole thing blew up in their hands. 

What would have happened if LBJ had sent around the clock carpet bombing of Hanoi in 1965 instead of Nixon sending around the clock bombing in 1972? Chances are there would have been seven years less of a loosing war. 

Trillions and trillions of dollars of social engineering spending is not the equivalent of around the clock bombing of Hanoi. 

The socialist mob from Chicago and San Francisco and Boston want to recreate the glory days of the Chicago Cabrini Green federal housing project where crime and despair were the norm and the only real way to save the children was to shut the nightmare down. 

Most of these trillions of dollars are going to finance a nightmare.

Why Republicans will not succeed with Michael Steele. 

Republicans still need the Christian Conservatives and traditional conservative activists to win. Michael Steel is not a Christian Conservative, nor a traditional conservative activist. With Michael at the helm of the Republican Party I am not really interested in investing my time or money in republican ventures. 

John McCain made most Conservative Christians cringe, or at best, yawn. Look at Megan McCain and you will see that the apple does not fall far from the tree. 

Michael Steel is not Pro Life. I can not and will not support him. 

The conservative Christian Republican bible says: “ Do not yolk yourself with unbelievers.” Michael Steele is an unbeliever. 

I’m glad Michael is at least being honest about what he really believes. He is at least an honest unbeliever.

John McCain’s daughter Megan source of Palin lies? 

If you want to know who in the McCain campaign was the source of vile lies about Sara Palin  after the failure of the McCain Palin ticket last November, look no further then McCain’s daughter Megan. Megan McCain is a loud mouth brat in the mould of Paris Hilton. She has too much money, too much time and not enough good sense to keep her publicity seeking mouth shut. I wonder when the home videos of her snorting cocaine and having sex with five frat boys at once will come out. 

I wish liberals who want to parade as republicans would go to their mother home, the Ku Daily Kos Klan. Go home where you’re wanted Megan, the Klan has a spot ready for your ill informed mouth. Go back to Art History, your self serving grasp of the facts is an embarrassment to conservatives.

Some of the things I don’t like about the Obama administration. 

Setting course for budget disaster. 

Cutting the military. 

Spending trillions on wealth redistribution. 

Naive arrogance. 

Political denial about who and what he is. 

Speaking with a triangulating tongue. 

Doesn’t keep promises. 

Blames others. 

No loyalty. 

Disrespects England. 

Throws lifelines to terrorists. 

Uses thugs to do his dirty work and claims no responsibility.

Hides behind others. 

Will say anything to manipulate others. 

Empowers extreme leftist crazies
