First Wuss as Commander in chief.

First Wuss as Commander in chief. 

Let’s see.

 Obama and company whimper on North Korea ballistic missile launches; whimper on pirates seizing U.S. flagged ships and holding the capitan hostage; whimper on Iran’s nuclear ambitions; cut defense spending; send the Congressional Black Caucus to whimper to Cuba; whimper to the rest of the world that bad George Bush was naughty when defending our families and nation; whimper when a crazed man pirates an airplane  that could hold a WMD , illegally flies it across our boarders, refuses to land when ordered by f-16 interceptors, flies over or very near 4 major U.S. cities and only lands when he runs out of fuel; and he pretends to have a backbone when everybody knows President Obama couldn’t defend himself against his own wife. 

 He has no testicles. 

He’s really not a man. 

I do not trust him to defend our nation. 

He’s communicating weakness to people who thrive on taking advantage of the weak. 

He is arrogantly weak. 

I pray to God he improves before he destroys what’s left of our culture. 

His gig as chief metrosexual will not save us.

No justice for Cuba.

No justice for Cuba. 

The Congressional Black Caucus has urinated upon all Cuban Americans by praising the serial killer Fidel Castro. Castro enslaved millions of Cubans, tortured them and their families and used the Cuban People as slaves for his vision of a murderous communist dictatorship. 

How quickly these children of former slaves forget the plight of the oppressed in Cuba

If cozying up to Castro is what Obama and his henchmen and henchwomen in the Congressional Black Caucus call change we can believe in, heaven help us.

Do YOU feel safe with President Obama as Commander in Chief?

Do YOU feel safe with President Obama as Commander in Chief? 

I don’t. 

What happens when Japan, South Korea and Taiwan all realize that President Obama will not protect them from a WMD and ballistic missile equipped North Korea?  

We’re going to find out. 

What happens when a Turkish man steals a Cessna in Canada and flies it into U.S. airspace, refuses to talk to air traffic controllers, and refuses to obey the instructions of F-16 interceptors? 

Why, we let him fly hundreds of miles inside of our country, near at least three major cities, and don’t shoot him down before he could possibly light off a MWD. 

I’m not ashamed to be an American. I am ashamed President Obama is our President. 

President Obama is proving he will not protect us. Just like we all knew. He is slashing our military budget and leaving us in a weakened position.

Why Save Newspapers?

Why Save Newspapers? 

I can’t figure out why. 

I once had a friend whose father had a thriving business repairing typewriters. He supported his family, purchased a home and put his kids through college all on that skill. Today there are few, if any typewriter repairmen making a descent living. 

I also had several relatives who thanks to the United States Navy learned to repair televisions, radios and most tube electronic devices. They had fairly affluent middleclass shops where they sold televisions, repaired televisions, bought and sold used televisions. Electronic geeks hung out at such places and talked vacuum tubes, diode biasing and voltage rectification. 

Both such businesses have for all purposes disappeared. There may be some places left, but they generally are for collectors, hobbyists and their ilk. 

Technology passed both such businesses by, put them out of business and everybody moved on. 

Now, newspapers and magazines are in the crosshairs of technology. 

Liberals are sad about the demise of the print media because by and large they controlled the print media. The print media’s replacement-the World Wide Web-is a free wheeling world where information, accurate and inaccurate, is distributed with lightening speed. 

In the old media you had to try to hide your bias in enough facts to pretend to be impartial. Today, you just tell people what you really think. 

To this fact I say long life freedom.

No Will to protect the American People.

No Will to protect the American People 

President Obama has no will to protect the American People. 

Remember, during the election when former senator and current Vice president Biden aid that foreign powers would test Obama? Well, they did. 

Obama failed. 

By letting North Korea shoot their rocket over Japan without response the President of the United States telegraphed that he has no testicles. Next north Korea will explode a nuke in a test and Obama will lament that it is a sad situation. 

Cut and Run Obama. 

There is a difference between the way we wish things were and the way they are. We wish North Korea was reasonable. They are not. Please quit being so naive President Obama. You are endangering our lives and the lives of our children and grand children.

The Loss of Government Integrity.

The Loss of Government Integrity. 

Former Alaska Senator Ted Stevens was convicted of a felony last fall that ultimately cost him his seat in the United States Senate. Now we find out that the prosecutors committed misconduct in convicting him and the charges against him have been dismissed. Several Prosecutors and at least one FBI agent are cited as having committed misconduct during the investigation and court proceedings. 

Had Senator Stevens not has the means and power to force the government to obey the law, his falsely obtained conviction would have been upheld. 

How sad.

Fiat- Fix It Again Tony.

Fiat- Fix It Again Tony. 

Didn’t Fiat almost go under a number of years ago? 

My uncle Pat, an elderly Italian barber, has is shop in what remains of the Italian section of Chicago Heights. Pat could have retired years ago but he says his wife don’t want him around da house. So, Pat and his remaining old Italian fellas from da Heights sit in his barbershop talking about how their mothers didn’t speak English, their fathers worked at the worst jobs imaginable-and they did-and reminisce about a Chicago Heights that no longer exists. 

So I asked Uncle Pat about my Uncle No-Nose who just got a very lengthy sentence for unmentionable things done in compliance with the wishes of my dearly departed great uncle No-Neck Valentino. 

Grate Uncle No-Neck always used to say,” Don’t marry a broad who’s been around da alter three or more times. She ain’t no good. And, she’s only reliable as a Fiat, which despite being Italian we alls knows is a piece of crap.” 

So, why is the President of the United States forcing Chrysler to marry a piece of crap? 

Must be that’s what President Obama thinks of Chrysler and its workers; that they’re worthy of crap. 

Hope you can believe in?

UAW workers mad.

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?

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.

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?

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.
