Lip Lock

I am still wondering, after Biden's nauseating speech eulogizing the Obama, how long it took to remove his, Biden's, lips from the Obama's ass. Must have taken most of the rest of the day and well into the night!

The plight of minorities in America

On the drive down from Santa Fe this morning I was listening to Bill Bennett's Morning in America radio show. At the end of his last segment of the morning he spoke briefly about the drug legalization movement, which seems to be on the upswing again. Bennett mentioned a forum that he attended when he was drug czar. At that forum was Charlie Rangle and all Rangle could harp on was the need to identify the root causes. While Bennett didn't totally disagree with Rangle's position but the most important thing to do first was to get the drugs and dealers off the streets and in prison - to free the communities from the dealers that were preying on them. Yes there are problems in the ghettos that need to be addressed - root causes that are blamed on poverty by the social engineers. Actually, the real root cause of problems in the ghettos is the lack of personal responsibility and the government and its armies of social engineers that continually tell the minorities and poor people, that fill up the ghettos, that they cannot stand up on their own and succeed without the government and that all of their problems can be blamed on hardworking non-minority Americans. Interestingly, if sadly, the drug dealers themselves are the counter to this argument. They epitomize the American entrepreneurial spirit - even though it is illegal. They are very much like the original Italian Americans that became the roots of the Mafia. The downside to this drive to riches is that these dealers are victimizing their own people - minorities and families of their communities. The liberals over the decades have convinced blacks and other minorities that they are incapable of succeeding without the government. They have convinced blacks that if they just depend on the government their lives will be better. Too many black babies are born out of wedlock - a result of liberal undermining of moral standards - give condoms and we all know that they are going to have sex anyway - it is the lazy way to solve a problem. Rather than teach them responsibility we give them condoms and toss them over. Pop culture tells young blacks that the route to success is to become a rapper or a sports star - these are the 0.01% people - rather than working hard in high school and college or learning a vocation. Minorities are led to believe that these are not glamorous routes to riches. Well, maybe they are not but it is rare for a carpenter or plumber or lawyer or doctor to be shot by another carpenter, plumber, lawyer or doctor. The mortality rate among young black men is through the roof and most of it is a result of other young black men. So, how do we help the plight of the minorities - stop giving them crutches to use as excuses for failing - to paraphrase George Bush, "We need to stop the soft bigotry of low expectations." We need to get drugs out of the ghettos - we need, as Bill Bennett says, "Send in the sheriffs," and clean up the drugs and get rid of those who prey on their fellow community members. Then we start teaching these children that their future is totally depended on their own initiatives and willingness to work hard and succeed. If you cannot teach them that then they will never succeed and get out of the debilitating environment of the ghettos.

America joins the Socialist Union of the Americas

Rep. Bart Stupak, D-MI sells out for an empty promise on abortion from his lord Messiah, the Obama. the Obama can executive order all he wants but they don't carry the weight of law and federally funded abortion is now law. In the end I think that Stupak didn't want to be seen as anything but a hardcore liberal so he voted for that image rather than for the American people. So, now that the Obama and the lemmings have their bill let's stop calling it health care reform and call it what it is - another liberal social welfare program. This bill was never about health care it was about securing a huge voting block for the libs. Next comes amnesty for illegal aliens - the Obama's mentor Hugo Chavez would be proud and it would not surprise me if the fat little pig declares today a national holiday in Venezuela to celebrate the socialization of America.

The World's New National Socialist Party - the Obamacrats

As we approach the precipice of one the most historic events in American history the Obamacrats have turned a deaf ear to the American people. the Obamacrats in what has to be the most arrogant attitude ever, have decided that they know what is best for all and have decided to move forward with their health care monstrosity. The passage of their bill will not be seen as historic because it will be the greatest piece of legislation in history, it will be seen as historic because of the catastrophic damage it will do to our health care system. Rather than fix the known problems with access to health care insurance they, the Obamacrats, have chosen to socialize medicine instead. The CBO came out with a silly scoring of the bill to be, amazingly, less than $1 Trillion and to save $1.3 Trillion over 20 years. the Obamacrats were ecstatic - all the while knowing that they were lying to the Americans. The bill will cost 10's of Trillions over 20 years and will save not one penny; no liberal social bill in history has ever saved a dime.

Deflating the big lie

In the Washington Post this morning: Obama's illusions of cost-control.

One job of presidents is to educate Americans about crucial national problems. On health care, Barack Obama has failed.

"Yes We Can (piss you off)"

Few people know, because the State-Run Media doesn't report it, but the now infamous phrase that has come out of the Obama's Hope and Change campaign - "Yes we can," is only part of the actual phrase that the Obama and his team uses. The complete phrase is: "Yes we can - piss you off." Every day a new group or a country is being pissed off by the Obama. On the foreign policy front long time reliable allies are pissed off at the Obama - England over the Falkland Island issue and Israel because the Obama keeps on supporting Palestinian terrorists. Right here at home it is the American people. They have been telling the Obama in droves that they don't want his health care monstrosity and he just plain ignores them. His mouth piece, Robert Gibbs on one of the morning propaganda shows said that the Obama doesn't pay any attention to polls. I believe that, the polls say Americans don't want something and the Obama says, that they don't know what they want - He is the Messiah and he knows what is best for us. the Obama is either the stupidest president in history or he is just that arrogant - take your pick, either way it is bad.

The Fuzzy Constituion

In today's WSJ: The Second Amendment and the States. To me this case, McDonald v. Chicago, if it goes the wrong way, i.e. Chicago's ban on hand guns is upheld could actually lead to some serious problems for Gun Owners. The Constitution does not grant any rights to individuals. The Bill of Rights only enumerates a set of rights that the founders thought sufficiently important to ensure that it was clearly spelled out that the US government could not infringe upon them. Arguments are being made that the Constitution is only applies to the federal government - thus conceivably that within our own States we have no rights protected by the Bill of Rights if the said states choose not to uphold them. Therefore it is possible that in some states that one would have no freedom of speech or religion. But time after time the Supreme Court has protected those rights (religion is hardly ever protected unless you are Muslim). So, if McDonald is allowed to stand then it is possible that guns across the US could be banned except on Federal Lands just by each state banning the right individually. The 14th Amendment is always being touted as prohibiting this but the arguments seem to fall short of the 2nd Amendment.
