Say It Ain’t So!

town hall staged Debby

Well, Helen Thomas told us (as if we could not have figured that out ourselves) that all questions are staged, pre-screened and previously approved by Obama and staff.

Enter the town hall meeting and a woman named Debby. She described her problem amid tears and then Obama (who has been criticized for being stiff, aloof, and cold), learned his acting well and did his ‘aw poor thing’ routine.

He then used her situation to make his point – kinda like a skit for those who are more visual. “Debby is a perfect example of somebody who we should, in a country this wealthy, be able to provide coverage for her health care problems,” he said.

Now wait a minute. I follow a basic rule when I hear something – consider the source. The town hall meeting itself was highly orchestrated — with a small number in attendance and online questions being screened by the White House. Even none other than Helen Thomas complained to Press Secretary Robert Gibbs about the event being staged.

So it’s like a play or TV show. That’s pretend. That’s fantasy.

And it’s not like these folks don’t know each other!

 

Truman Show

The AP is reporting that this Debby Smith "is a volunteer for Organizing for America, Obama’s political operation within the Democratic National Committee" who "obtained her ticket through the White House."

So the questions from an advocate of a socialized, or single-payer health care, a representative of the liberal activist group Health Care for Americans Now, a member of the Service Employees International Union who asked what she could do to help, and one of his own volunteers – they were all scripted.

These are not real press conferences or real Q and A sessions. It’s all staged! You are being fed a TV show. The new Truman Show except we are the duped ones.

Helen Thomas

Remember when Bill O’Reilly described Helen Thomas as the wicked witch of the west? Oh the outcry! The wailing and gnashing of teeth! That was in February. Now in July, it is completely different because Helen dared confront the Golden One.

Will women’s groups come out in force for Helen just like before — or will they shrink away because she dared question the Liberal Left M.O. How will they react now that Helen Thomas has annoyed the Lefties? Very rightly so, she took press secretary Gibbs to task about taking only pre-screened questions and controlling the press.

Yeah! ‘Bout time someone woke up over there!

Helen Thomas didn’t start the battles at yesterday’s press briefing, but she certainly highlighted them. Thomas came to the defense of CBS News correspondent Chip Reid, when he tried to ask Press Secretary Robert Gibbs how Obama would choose questions for tonight’s town hall meeting in Virginia.

Reid stated that the administration was controlling both who was going to attend, and what kind of questions would be asked. When Gibbs tried to brush him off, Helen Thomas injected herself in her usual, no-nonsense fashion.

I wish she would have seen through this sooner, but she is also the first one with the guts to speak up! So you go Helen!

And the liberals are now whining, crying ‘unfair’ and demanding she retire!! Gee, you don’t like what someone says and you attack! You don’t believe in Freedom of Speech – do you? You need to get the hell out of America then. Hypocrits!

Go Helen! Give ‘em Hell!

In closing, Helen dropped the biggest bomb when she told CNS News that not even Richard Nixon had tried to control the media this way.  LOL

Thomas not only put the Nixon administration on a higher ground than Obama in this area, she didn’t even mention George W. Bush as part of it.

Oh, I’m lovin’ it :)

 Al Gore toon

This huge tax bill is totally unnecessary. The stress and pain caused for most of us is all for nothing.

The Global Warming Hoax/ Fraud

In the face of name-calling and worse, I have always maintained that Al Gore perpetrated the biggest scam on us and the world. What caused us to lap it up like Pavlovian dogs? Say the words "planet" "save" and we all salivate and believe everything we are told. How ludicrous. How stupid!

The science, the real science, behind this global warming stupidity is now collapsing. The most reliable satellite weather data shows that global atmospheric temperatures have declined over the last 11 years — that means the temps are getting colder!

Science also shows that the temperature patterns of the 20th century correlate with natural causes, not this global warming nonsense.

Temperatures did not increase steadily throughout the last century — even though carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases did.

Temperatures in the U.S. were stable until 1920, and then soared to produce the hottest decade of the century during the 1930s — all way before the rapid increases in greenhouse gas emissions.  Gee, Al, how do you account for that?

The climate then cooled during most of the period from 1940 until about 1977. Temperatures climbed upward from 1977 until 1998, except for a sharp downturn from about 1988 until about 1995. Temperatures are down again over the past decade — down over the last 11 years. It’s cycles folks! Nothing to worry about.

Forget that hysteria of floating polar bears and ice caps melting (oh the sky is falling) The polar ice caps are not melting. The melting of glaciers still going on is because those glaciers are from the last age age — which ended (thankfully) and, therefore, not due to global warming. Sea levels rose 400 feet, but over the last 18,000 years!  Furthermore, the rise has been decelerating over the past 5,000 years, and now is 1.8 mm per year – millimeters, regardless of global temperature fluctuations. What that means is the oceans would rise 9 inches over the next 100 years. Oooo, watch out for those floods!

This record is more consistent with the Pacific Decadal Oscillation, a long-term pattern of ocean currents that turns from cold to warm back to cold every 20 to 30 years, and with variations in solar activity, particularly sunspots. Indeed, our current accelerating temperature decline correlates with an extended trend of slowing sunspot activity, which may portend another Little Ice Age, as happened from the early 1400s to the late 1800s. Indeed, a full-blown ice age is now overdue based on historical patterns. –Spectator

In April, the Polish Academy of Sciences published a document challenging man-made global warming….Dr. Kiminori Itoh, a Japanese environmental physical chemist who contributed to a U.N. climate report, dubs man-made warming "the worst scientific scandal in history." Norway’s Ivar Giaever, Nobel Prize winner for physics, decries it as the "new religion."– WSJ

NYC 1907

Ok, we all know that this Cap and Trade bill is a huge tax on electricity – don’t we? Its whole purpose is to raise the price of energy in the U.S. so much that it will reduce the use of fossil fuels by 17% by 2020 and by 83% by 2050 — to the level in 1907 when most folks still used horses and most did not even have electricity!

Yet Barack Obama calls it a jobs bill. He’s a magician performing slight of hand with words. He uses the words that we like to hear but it’s all a lie.

But it is no magic that will siphon your money right out of your pocket. And it will not create one single job — it will kill jobs!

The Charles River Associates, a Harvard based economics consulting firm, estimates a net loss of jobs from the bill of about 2.5 million each year.

All those soccer moms better get used to riding their horses to the grocery store and back. And their husbands better get used to working the farms again, by hand, as high cost energy will chase remaining American manufacturing out of the country to India and China, which do not suffer from Al Gore’s delusions about supposed global warming. –Spectator
 

You know how Obama and his spokespeople all blame Bush for the recession and deficits? Obama touted his new budget and how it would reduce the federal deficit in half in five years. This was passed by his Democrat Congress and what have they done to us?

This year’s deficit blows up to a record busting $1.8 trillion, four times bigger than Bush’s largest deficit, and seven times bigger than Reagan’s largest, and somehow it is all Bush’s fault. Bush is not spending all this money and raising taxes, now is he?

Obama was really good with his campaign promises. No new taxes – except for cigarettes, except for electricity, and except for that %25 VAT tax on everything to pay for his delusions.

He already promised to raise the top two income tax rates by over 10%, the capital gains tax rate by 33%, and the tax rate on dividends by 33%, and forget about inheriting anything from Aunt Molly. Obama will take 45% of that! He said so.

Think about it. How will you live?

His tax cut for 95% of Americans turned out to be a puny $400 per worker tax credit that is phased out after next year, when his tax increases take effect. Then what? Is this what you voted for?

During the campaign, Obama also pledged that he would never raise taxes in any form on Americans making less than $250,000 per year. But his cap and trade tax is estimated to cost American families almost $2,000 a year when it becomes effective, growing to almost $7,000 a year for a family of four by 2035. That will be paid through higher prices for electricity, oil, gasoline, natural gas, home heating oil, coal, food, and every product that is produced or transported using energy. Remember: when the first President Bush violated his oft-repeated campaign pledge not to raise taxes, voters booted him out in the next election.


Do the same here starting with every Democrat in 2010!

Independence Days

Happy Independence Days for Canada (July 1) and USA (July 4)

OK, so it’s Dominion Day for Canada and it marks the joining of the British North American colonies of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and the Province of Canada into a federation of four provinces (the Province of Canada being then divided into Ontario and Quebec) on 1 July 1867. The British Parliament still kept limited rights of political control over the new country, which were shed by stages over the years until the last vestiges were ended in 1982, when the Constitution Act patriated the Canadian constitution.

Remember this line? Read My Lips, No New Taxes!

That was Bush41 and it cost him a second term.

Well, guess what? There’s a guy named Obama who said this: if you make less than $250,000 your taxes will not go up.  Not one dime." Nevermind that the figure changed to $200,00 and then to $150,000.

The point is, that you already have new taxes (cigarettes that hit the poorest sector) and a whole bunch to come. They cannot be called "taxes" but are you that dumb to let him get away with that obvious ploy? If it costs you more money than it did 6 months ago, it’s a NEW TAX!!

That Cap and Trade is an innocuous name for a huge tax on electricity! One that could cost each American family $2000-$3000 per year. The law is the same as Al Gore’s BTU tax which was the centerpiece of Clinton’s 1993 tax program.  Eventually, Clinton replaced it with a flat 5 cent gasoline tax.  But the idea of taxing utility bills to drive down electricity use is as old as the Clinton Administration and just as stupid.  But Obama can’t call it a tax because that would break his pledge.  So he calls it cap and trade instead.

Then we have the brilliant ideas of taxing gassy cows and a 25% value-added-tax on everything. Um, didn’t he say no new taxes for 95% of us? Liar, liar, pants on fire.

To pay for his health care lunacy that England and Canada have already warned us against, Obama will likely make all health insurance premiums, paid by employers, taxable to the employees. This idea he crucified John McCain for but at least McCain was planning on giving each person $5000 to pay for the insurance!

Finally, it is obvious that Obama will be unable to restore financial solvency to Social Security and Medicare without big hikes in the payroll tax, coming in 2011!
 
It is ultimately these tax increases which will drive Obama’s congressional majority from office in the 2010 elections.  His stimulus package, raising the deficit damaged the recovery by raising interest rates.  Now he will complete the catastrophe by raising taxes.  Together, these tax hikes and interest rate increases will choke off any recovery the business cycle would naturally catalyze.

From now on, its Obama’s recession.
