Mistletoe and Grave Danger: The Semi-banana Republic TAkes!

I’m sure that I could post new stuff from now until the mid-terms about the destruction of our health care system currently underway with Obamacare. In the meantime, here is a round-up of other recent stories that I’ve found interesting lately. The latest Obamacare stuff is at the bottom of the page. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy the

The Schizophrenia of Barack Obama

“Barack Obama is a man with only one core conviction.”

If You Like Your Uncle, You Can Keep Him. Period.

Uncle Omar has been ordered deported at least three times. Now they are issuing him a green card.

Noteworthy quote: 

“… today nothing of significance happens without a plan written by some government bureaucrats, approved by other government bureaucrats, who then grant permission to another set of government bureaucrats to study the problem in conjunction with lawyers/lobbyists who then consult their friends on ways to make matters worse.”

 Socialists believe that you are free to do anything you want, as long as it is mandated.

“Me and people that I know that are illegal immigrants that don’t contribute to society, we still gonna get paid.”…”Our check’s gonna come in the mail every month… and it’s gonna be on time… and we get subsidized housing… we even get presents delivered for our kids on Christmas… Why should I work?”

Indeed! 

 Here is a comparison of the original ten planks of the Communist Manifesto written by Karl Marx in 1848, along with the American adopted counterpart of each of the planks.

The Economy is Getting Better? Don’t Believe It, It’s Time To Prepare!

Don’t believe the elite media and the Obama Administration’s claims that the economy is getting better, it isn’t. The employment rate today is about 64%, compared to the official unemployment figures slightly under 9%. Bush was roundly criticized when only 400,000 jobs were added per month, today Obama is celebrated when a couple hundred thousand are added, not near enough to keep pace with those entering the job market for the first time. Gas prices are approaching an all-time high again, and Obama claims no silver bullet can change that. The truth is that official policy can go a long way to getting us back to cheap energy, which this administration has fought and even tossed up road-blocks every step of the way. Housing is still in the dumps, and the Dems are still taking steps to keep people in homes that they couldn’t afford to be in to begin with, also due to Democratic policy.

Here is a great listing of indicators which clearly show that things are only getting worse, not better. The silver bullet for our economy will be to retire Obama next November.

If The Economy Is Improving….

If the economy is getting better, then why did new home sales in the United States hit a brand new all-time record low during 2011?

If the economy is getting better, then why are there 6 million less jobs in America today than there were before the recession started?

If the economy is getting better, then why is the average duration of unemployment in this country close to an all-time record high?
