[pullquote]this President toys with civil war[/pullquote]If you have ever wondered just what a “Community Organizer” actually does, look no further than this evening’s coverage of unemployed masses now demanding the livelihoods, the liberties, and the very lives of their fellow Americans.  No President has ever been more divisive.  Abraham Lincoln led us into war to abolish slavery–the divisions were already there and in the end, he united us.  This President toys with civil war as an acceptable collateral risk inherent in his program, and if you are reading this, odds are he is not on your side.  If you are reading this, odds are he has already lumped you in as an enemy.

In our dark moments, we wonder: If this is freedom, what’s the big deal?

China

China is undergoing its most significant upheaval since becoming a communist state.  Any communist revolution is by definition an attempt to deny and suppress the spirit of man.  The current transition will be both more important and more successful than the revolution there, because this move has been anticipated for thousands of years–it is led by reality, rather than the other way around.  China, long famous for deprecating any knowledge or influence from barbarian realms, is becoming oriented beyond its own borders.

While we dither and kowtow by re-forming NASA into the North African Space Administration (with a mission to make Muslim countries feel proud of their accomplishments, no less), the Chinese are … Continue reading →

The Ides of September

The President has been speaking for about five minutes.  It’s way too early for the “early returns” on his speech, but I have a prediction: I think that his high-handed yet empty rhetoric about what he will and will not tolerate or allow, and all the rest of his claptrap is going to bang hollow in a silent room.

I do believe that I am not alone in being spectacularly unimpressed with this moron upon the occasion of this part-campaign, part-lecture.  Now I have never been for the man, but tonight marks a special moment.  I have never heard him more urgently condescending, as if he must somehow pound his elementary knowledge into the heads of a bunch of retards (that would be us) before heading out for … Continue reading →

GM, Obama vs Ford, Boeing

Here’s the gist of a compelling article up at RedState:

“Documents released last week by the U.S. Treasury Department indicate that General Motors and the Obama administration coordinated their PR strategy regarding GM’s much criticized 2010 ad campaign, in which the car maker misleadingly claimed to have repaid all its government loans.”

The advertisement campaign GM ran with included the “Chevy Runs Deep” series of commercials portraying a feel good attitude toward GM and its essential “American-ness”. Just in time for the 2012 election season, GM wants to rev back up that ad campaign as it did before the November 2010 elections.

You will not be surprised to learn that there is a series of coordinated efforts between the Obama Administration and General Motors.

Why We Hate The SuperCommittee

The SuperCommittee is such an awful punt that it should infuriate not only the Tea Party, but independents and democrats as well. Anybody but the permanent Washington DC bloodsucking class. It is a model of bureaucratic ass-covering and foot-dragging, and it replaces the voters with the President as their most effective driver.

[pullquote]this backscratching society which will operate in secret[/pullquote]We charged into the House, and promptly squandered a huge head of steam with shenanigans over the Continuing Resolutions. Not to worry, we were told, the debt limit fight is where we will really get them! Then we gave up the debt limit fight, and in the process threw away our numerical advantage in the House. All we have left to show for it is this backscratching society which … Continue reading →

Amy vs TSA

Amy Alkon is taking on the TSA.  After her unreasonable search (or sexual assault) at the hands of the TSA and the TSA agent’s subsequent attempt to shake a cool half-million dollars out of Alkon, she’s is lawyering up.  Except that the lawyers refuse payment, and have leapt at the opportunity to do this stuff pro bono.

I have written that we should abolish the DHS, releasing its constituent agencies back into the wild, and amputating many duties from the TSA.  Amy’s experience  is not only a prime example of why: it is a valuable lesson in how:

Trinity: Obama, Jesus, NPR (in no particular order)

NPR, which loves Barack Obama only slightly, only slightly less than itself, offers a droll comparison of his price for love with that of Jesus:

AUDIENCE MEMBER: I love you, Barack!

THE PRESIDENT: I love you back. (Applause.) But first — but if you love me — if you love me, you got to help me pass this bill. (Applause.) If you love me, you got to help me pass this bill.

via Obama: ‘If You Love Me, You Got To Help Me Pass This Bill’ : It’s All Politics : NPR.

Is contrasted with very little comment (I suppose the parallel should be obvious to those who know Him) to this passage:

When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter,”Simon son of John, do … Continue reading →

Supercommittee and Jobs Act: Twins

[Events are overtaking this post faster than I can edit!  So it’s a bit of a jumble.]

President Obama’s “American Jobs Act of 2011”  is such a steaming pile of FAIL that it is hard to know where to begin.

Last week the two co-chairs said that many future panel meetings will be closed to the public, though, press and public interest groups have called for transparency and disclosure of every meeting.

…

If the joint committee or Congress fail to act by December 23, the bill calls for automatic across-the-board cuts, split 50-50 between defense and non-defense spending, including Medicare.  Social Security and Medicaid would be excluded from the automatic cuts.

The plan also calls for a Congressional vote on a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution by the end … Continue reading →

Solyndra: Perpetual Motion Machine Wrapped in a Ponzi Scheme

Now I know why the goofy name for this company.  Their one-trick pony is a cylindrical solar panel.   Solyndrical, plus a suitable Kumbayah web 2.0 ending, I get it.

The problem with these panels is the same problem with water injection to boost the expansion of an internal combustion engine.  Sounds dumb right?  Water kills fire.  Oh, but wait, if the heat of the fire is used to power the unbelievably explosive power of steam expansion, then you actually get MORE power from each ignition, right?  Amazing!  Oh, but… water kills fire.

Even if you can get the system to work consistently, the steam expansion would remove so much energy from the cylinder that a tremendous amount of fuel would be required just to keep the engine … Continue reading →
