Remember that TIME magazine “person” of the year in 2006…er, You?

Well, I think it’s becoming blase to blame Democrats or Republicans for the trouble coming out of Washington and I think the person who ought to be blamed is you.

That’s right, YOU. YOU are the one who keeps putting Ted Kennedy into office. YOU are the person who keeps voting Yes on referendums that keeps raising taxes on everything. YOU are the person that keeps corrupt and sleaze-bag politicians in power. YOU are the one keeps falling for every Harry Hardluck and Sally Sobstory that the media wants to present to you. 

I really wish YOU would get your act together. You know the trillion dollar “stimulus” they’re talking about in D.C? That’s aimed to help YOU. I didn’t realize you were so damn expensive.

Texas part of or influenced by Mexico? The midwest being part of Canada?? This is what happens to people when they’ve been under the spell of communism for decades and are still have no damn clue as to what their country stands for anymore.

That’s not to say that the old Soviets have not had an influence on the modern politial left. From the comments: Read the rest of this entry »

Yes, Merry Christmas.

Not Happy Holidays, not Winter Solstice Holiday, not Season’s Greetings…Merry Christmas!

But Rand had this entire scenario pegged all the way back in 1957 with “Atlas Shrugged.”

It’s to a point where we’re going to be nationalizing this and nationalizing that. Bailout for the boot-licking “mainstream” media? Why not!?

Government creeping in on industry and wanting to establish overseers, no doubt based on the bang-up job they’ve been doing for decades in Washington? Why not!?

One of the biggest free market thinkers suddenly recanting and saying there’s a “flaw” in the free market, yet doesn’t look in the mirror to see the flaw. Why the hell not.

This is indeed the time of the looters and the moochers. I work with people who bought into the whole “Hope and Change” garbage and yet, they’ll probably never realize any change from the incoming administration. And too many people are now sideling up to get theirs from Uncle Sam and don’t care a whim about the destruction they may cause if Washington steps in to control vast industries in this country.

I’ve said it before and I’ll keep saying it. What has Washington D.C. ever done to merit having this much power over this economy?

And I’m supposed to honestly buy what Conde Nast Portfolio is shoveling out to people? Barney Frank a person who’s part of the reorganization of the economy? Conde Nast…are you shitting me? The man who denied that there was anything wrong with Freddie and Fannie? That guy!?

“These two entities—Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac—are not facing any kind of financial crisis,” said Representative Barney Frank of Massachusetts, the ranking Democrat on the Financial Services Committee. “The more people exaggerate these problems, the more pressure there is on these companies, the less we will see in terms of affordable housing.”

Good lord. At least you got Paulson and Cramer right.

I have no idea where it’s from, if it’s old or new or who made it, but I just received it in my email and had a nice chuckle.

Egomaniacal…complete with a logo from the Office of the President Elect...yeah.

The creepiness begins ohh…right at 0:07 in…Your weekly address from the President Elect

What’s next? Large murals all over the country of our leader ?

First of all, a belated Veterans Days standing applause from this little blog.

Second, to all the Iraq War vets who have been instrumental in creating a democracy in Iraq, we’re going to need you soon.

If anything, we’re going to need more Mark Gundrum’s of the world after this is all said and done.

Now I admit, it sounds a tad dire, but the way the left has gotten its power and will most likely reshape things through legislation and transforming ALL the courts, we’re not recognize this country by 2012 I think. I may be wrong, but the government expands and the way the youth of this country is being indoctrinating, we may all be just another cog in the European Union some day.

We are going to need the people coming home from Iraq to get this country back to its Constitutional roots. A tough task, but if they can put together elections in Iraq without the irregularities and fraud rife in ours, there is hope.

What’s the easiest way to get the regular “folk” to relate to you in this country? Why, talk about football of course.

Hey, he’s the Messiah, he can do what he wants apparently:

“This is important,” Mr. Obama said. “I’m gonna throw my weight around a little bit. I think it’s the right thing to do.”

“I think any sensible person would say that if you’ve got a bunch of teams who play throughout the season and many of them have one loss or two losses [and] there’s no clear decisive winner, that we should be creating a playoff system,” Mr. Obama said.

Yeah, to a certain extent I can see his point that most college football fans would love to see a football version of March Madness, but I just have one small quibble with you Mr. President-Elect…you’re going to be the damn President of the United States!!

One would think there’s other pressing matters for an incoming President in these times.

Being in my mid-thirties, I’ve only been through a handful of major economic downturns.

In the early 1990’s, following 9/11 and our current downturn. I call it a downturn because unlike past true recessions, I really don’t personally see the tumult and apocalypse the media would have me believe.

Then there’s the other group of people. They’re the ones who’ve never really lived through anything. They were sheltered because they were going to school or were living at home when any of these downturns were happening. For all intensive purposes, what they’re experiencing now IS the worst thing in their lives…so far.

I know it’s easy to shrug a lot of this off, but if people under 30 can’t handle what’s happening now, what in the world are they going to do when things might just get worse? Commit suicide?

Ironically enough, most people I know experiencing this current downturn are all Obama supporters and as such, seem more apt to blame capitalism/Republicans/free markets et al for what’s happening right now. And then that leads to what they perceive to be the solution and what they’re to do or let happen.

This is where the danger lies for everyone right now. Too many people right now are trading in their freedom for the cloak of security. They believe the government can do things better…but why? What does the government do better that a free marketplace cannot? I may be preaching to a choir in some places, but what has the government ever done to warrant being able to have so much power of the economy or our lives? What’s their track record?

To the under-25 youth of America yearning for the government to take care of them…I have a modest proposal.

To the over-25 adults of America…I have a modest proposal.

To the Liberals of America…I have a modest proposal.

To the Conservatives of America…I have a modest proposal.

Forget about the idea of the mythical “two Americas” or a real America, we should just have an America with a government class and a freedom class.
