A good day to be Angry!

Today is a good day to be angry. Not at America, because despite the crud in Congress and in the White House, this is still a great country. But today is a good day to be angry at the start of the decline of our greatness. The confirmation of Sotomayor is a strike at the heart of our greatness, because it says to the world that we're not serious about justice, that race and feelings and ignorance are more important that being the best. The Obama from the day he began his squattership in the White House has demonstrated with each action that he cares nothing about America or the American people. His nomination of Sotomayor and the Obamasenate's confirmation gives new meaning to the phrase, "Garbage in, Garbage out." The Obamasenators didn't even debate the merits of the nominee they just slobbered on her and voted yes - master. Well, the left has gotten what they have always wanted, a true leftist idealogue, an unoriginal thinker that will push the party line.

Dumbing Down the Constitution

No surprise by a vote of 69 to 31 history's worst and by far leftist person has been confirmed as a Supreme Courtier. Thank goodness for, Scalia, Thomas, Roberts and Alito. The Obama has succeeded in making a spectacle of the Supreme Court by nominating Sotomayor and turning it into a place where anyone with a leftist thought and no true understanding of the Constitution can aspire. The Senate with the help of some left leaning Repubs, have give justification to the Obama's bad behavior, and have rubber stamped her confirmation. What a dark and sad day for America and our Judicial system. Tears to the court - a dark victory for identity politics!

The World is Dying from Global Ignorance

Bret Stephens, WSJ: Global Warming and the Poor

In other words, China’s pollution problems are not a function of laissez-faire policies and rampant consumerism, but of the regime’s excessive lingering control of the economy. A freer China means a cleaner China.

It is a sad state of affairs when a handful of ignorant policy wonks try to strong arm developing countries into cutting back on their "green house" gas emissions based on absolutely no supporting evidence that their emissions are cause a problem. Instead of calling it Global Warming we should call it Global Ignorance and ban the dangerous emissions spewing from the mouths of these ignoramuses.

Taxes and other Liberal Twinkie Lies

Nobody with half a brain, believed anything the Obama and his liberal Twinkies said about taxes and not raising the taxes on those who make under $250K. With each trillion in new spending that has been proposed by the Obama has come the realization, a realization that everyone but the Kool-Aid drinking Obamocrats has understood from the beginning, that he cannot pay for his reckless squandering on the backs of just the rich. It is now quite obvious to everyone who wants to open their eyes that the working middle class will once again carry the burden of the Obama's socialist programs. Byron York has a piece at the Washington Examiner: You can bet on it: Obama will raise your taxes,

Their concerns are entirely rational. Economists left and right have long argued that there is no way Obama can pay for a national health care makeover and a host of other expensive initiatives without breaking his campaign pledge not to raise taxes for anyone making less than $250,000. The wealthy are already paying a grossly disproportionate percentage of federal income taxes, and increasing taxes on them won't raise enough money to meet Obama's needs.

A Beer For All Occasions

Even though it is by a couple of leftists this is too funny!!

Sometimes!

I went to the Farmer's Market today. I go every Saturday while it is open. Nothing like fresh vegetables and fruit. Governor Richardson's half a billion dollar boondoggle - The Railrunner - has brought some much needed revitalization to the old Santa Fe railyard area. There is the Farmer's Market and several retail shops - REI - and new restaurants filling up the buildings, which are nw clean. So, while it will cost NM tax payers millions a year to subsidize the boondoggle, whoops, Railrunner, it is helping a much needed part of Santa Fe.

Easy, when it is not your money

Sitting at the small, local hangout, Counter Culture waiting to take delivery of a huge breakfast cinnamon roll I can take a minute to post some thoughts. In the news the House gleefully voted to dump an extra couple of billion dollars of OPM (other people's money) into the cash-for-debt program - sometimes known as cash-for-perfectly good cars. Americans are already saddled with trillions of dollars of debt - credit cards, mortgages and car payments. So it just really makes a lot of sense to have a program that uses other people's money to increase that debt - NOT! Here's the Obama whining that Americans need to turn up their thermostats, drive less, eat less - stop being consumers. Then along comes: Let the government help increase your debt by buying a new car you don't need program! It is an interesting form of consumer socialism. The government will take working (in this case people with more money than I have) people's money and use it to put poor people further into poverty - and they say slavery is dead!
