By the time we finished the second week of Obama’s Presidency, their “holier than thou” Pious agenda was already clearly established.
If you want to work for the Administration, you have to complete a questionnaire. One of the questions asks you if you own or have ever owned a gun, if so why, and has anyone ever been hurt with it? If you answer “Yes” to any of the questions, your application automatically goes to the bottom of the trash basket. They fail to ask if you have any kitchen knives.
“We have too many children in this country.” That’s why Nancy Pelosi stuck $150 million in the “economic stimulus” bill for birth control. China has a strict one-child-per-family rule. The gal who just had a litter of eight, plus the six she already had, needs to be severely ostracized, especially since she's from Pelosi's home state of California. YEGODS! She will be required to learn how to speak Chinese.
“There are too many fat people in this country.” Unless they lose weight right now, we’re going to arrange for them to have stomach bypasses. If they refuse, they’re going to prison where the food is not so plentiful and they can spend the rest of their lives among all of the illegal aliens. Make jokes about them. They’re fat, they deserve to have their feelings hurt. It doesn’t matter if they have medical conditions or not; they’re obese. Fat is ugly, and they are consuming more than their fair share of food. Yuck. Bad people. Yucky.
“Anyone who stands up and says what they believe, if it does not agree with what WE believe, they are Rush Limbaugh lackeys.” Limbaugh, Hannity and Ingram are an endangered species, because we are going to replace them or shut them down with the “Fairness Doctrine.” The Fairness Doctrine says you have to allow equal air time to those who hold opposing views. If no one wants to listen to the opposing views and the stations can’t sell advertising, then that means your view cannot be heard, because that’s unfair. Yuck! Bad talk show hosts! Yucky!
"Who CARES if Exxon made $45 Billion in the last quarter of 2008?" That was then, this is now and we need to stimulate the economy. That’s why we’re buying all new vehicles for all branches of government and we’re installing new commodes with seat warmers in the Capital. Don't bother us, you lowly commoners! Yuck!
"SUV’s have to go." They are gas guzzlers. It doesn’t matter whether or not the guy who owns one can afford it. WE are the only ones who should be seen riding around in big, heavy SUV’s, because we are the upper crust and we need to be protected against accidents and thugs with guns. Of course, once we make guns illegal, that’ll solve that problem.
And, we have to get rid of blogs. People who write bad things about us in their blogs are doing a disservice to this country, and that is why we need to clear out Gitmo, because we need a place to send the bloggers where they can’t get their hands on a computer. Everyone knows bloggers pose a worse threat to this country than terrorists. YUCKKKKK!
That’s MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
SPECIAL POST
Remember that acronym-named organization that took in phony voter registrations and campaigned on behalf of the Democrats and Obama in particular under the veil of "stage lighting?"
I have just learned they are in line to receive up to $4.2 billion of the $825 billion "economic stimulus" plan. The fund, labeled something like the "Community Stabilization Fund," was specifically written with ACORN in mind.
YOU voted for these crooks, not me. I hope you sleep well tonight.
That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
I’ll open this opinion by pointing out a plain, simple fact: The economy is consumer driven. Keep that thought in mind why I lay out my case for the impeachment of Congress. That may seem to be a little tongue-in-cheek rhetoric, but you haven’t yet heard my contentions.
Let’s discuss this “economic stimulus” for a moment. Frankly, I believe it’ll be the greatest American rip-off ever conjured up. Now, I’ve stated, and I don’t think anyone can successfully debate, that the economy is consumer driven. That, of course, means that you and I control the economy according to our spending, earning, and saving habits. Congress, on the other hand, would have us believe that the economy is driven by the “fat-cat” big businesses, and that any stimulus needs to be directed to them, as if to say in the same breath that, if the consumer doesn’t want to buy your product or to invest in your stock, the government has an inherent obligation to compensate you for the consumer’s stupidity.
We all know that the Congress has become somewhat cavalier with respect to the American citizen. We are the proletariat, or the common fold unworthy of discourse. Congressional members regularly dismiss even the overwhelming will of the people by suggestion that “they know better” or “our plans are in the best interests of the country.”
Pepsi Corporation has decided to get rid of the 12-pack in favor of the 8-pack. The 12-pack fits quite nicely in most refrigerators, whereas the 8-pack requires you to refrigerate 16 cans as opposed to 12, if you’re planning on having any company. When I sent them an email of complaint, my answer was, basically, “It fits OUR needs and you are only the consumer and if you don’t like the way we package our products, that’s tough.”
I went into a Courtyard by Marriott in Denver for breakfast and was informed that breakfast closed at 10:00 AM and they weren’t serving anyone until 11:00 AM, and that would be for lunch. When I pointed out that I thought they were a full service hotel and I thought you could eat anytime, I got a shrug of the shoulder and a very fast exit.
On the other hand, I went to a glass shop in Fall River Mills, California, carrying a piece of ceramic glass that I had obtained from a competitor and had not measured correctly. The owner of the shop cut my glass down to the correct size and….didn’t charge me for it. In fact, he did it immediately…on the spot…and wished me a good day and “bring your business back to me” as I went out the door.
The point being that the economic stimulus packages seem destined to reward the Pepsi’s and Courtyards of the world for their bad management, while ignoring the good and independent business managers like that one in Fall River Mills, California. Is that misguided, or what? We’re helping out the BAD business managers?
So, how should these billions of dollars that Congress is bound and determined really be spent? How about hiring incentives? For every new employee you hire, you get a tax reduction of a certain dollar amount or percentage.
Why not give the consumer back the write-offs he had for interest on credit card debt and auto loans? Wouldn’t that encourage the consumer to buy? Wouldn’t that drive business?
Why not raise the unemployment compensation by $100 a week? Or $50 a week with an extension? Wouldn’t that enable the unemployed to spend more money on basic necessities, thereby also driving the economy?
Why not an extra incentive, besides low interest or favorable terms, to buy a new or used home? An extra tax break during the first year of ownership should help drive sales.
Take the guy who wants to invest and give him an investment tax credit PLUS a break on the capital gains tax for the next two years. Would that not drive non-government investment in stocks, bonds and commodities?
How about another direct tax rebate to the American taxpayer? The argument against that idea is that they, (government), learned the last go around that we Americans won’t spend it; we’ll just pay off debt or save it. Well, what did you expect us to do, given a crappy economy with worsening forecasts? The smart guy gloms on to every dime he can get and he buttons down the hatches in protection against the brewing storm. But, what if we do it again and double down the bet? You get twice as much as you got last time BUT…. You are going to pay taxes on it UNLESS you spend it as a down-payment on a large ticket item such as a house, car, entertainment center….something costing $2,000 or more. Will that drive some buying, and the economy?
Yes, as part of these ideas, we should push for repairing dams, bridges and highways. Those are needed results and the resulting increase in employment will help drive the economy. Energy credits and other incentives to produce results that will benefit Americans should be encouraged through tax credits.
But, and most assuredly, the “stimulus” in the works is not designed with these objectives in mind. The stimulus is designed to reward business that we consumers won’t do business with, based on a fallacious argument that big business drives the economy and that the American consumer doesn’t know shit from Shinola.
Given the Congressional disregard for what we Americans think and the direction we feel we should take, should they all not be impeached?
And that, my friends, is MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
Only God knows what is in store for us as this day and this era begin. What we mortals do know is that the greatness of America has been tarnished by a lack of emphatically positive and proactive leadership, the kind of leadership that brought us through World Wars 1 and 2 and the Cold War. This Ship of State has seemed lately to bounce along the waves of time without any steady course of purpose, embroiled in political bickering and a sea of internal and external animosity.
Early indications are that this President, whatever his mettle and intentions are, is going to have to swim like hell in order to distance himself from the perpetually ongoing fracas and quagmire on the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue, but that does really remain to be seen.
I did not vote for this man, but I surely know that he is our President and elected Captain of this ship, and I will not yet judge him for his actions under fire; rather, I will support him and I will pray to God for the strength of leadership that this country so truly needs at this juncture in its history.
Let the era begin.
That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
Already being touted in Congress is a new national law against the use of cell phones in an automobile... hands-free devices or not. Okay, as long as we're going to eliminate accidents, mirrors must be removed from driver side visors. Women's purses must be relegated to the back seat, out of reach of the driver. Cup holders must be removed from the front area and drive-in restaurants must be outlawed as well. Mobile radios in taxi-cabs, police cars, ambulances, tow trucks...they all have to go. Don't get angry, be nice.
The fat-squad will also be around to see you. Since you contribute to the national debt by being overweight, (no offset for sales-taxes paid being allowed), you, the fat one, will have to repay the penalty. Extra charge for flying if you need an extender belt. No meals containing more than 8 ounces of meat or poultry can be sold in a restaurant. Beer is outlawed. No desserts or candy to be sold anywhere. If you weigh in at more than 5% overweight for your height, sex and age, you must take a mandatory 10-hour course on proper diet or pay an extra 5% income tax.
Yes, the National Nice Police have been organizing their "Fix America" list ever since Obama got elected. You and I are the target. And, if we complain or refuse to comply, we are going to be ostracized, chastized and polititicized into either surrendering or moving to Canada. Your freedoms and mine are about to be trampled upon.
More tax burdens coming, fewer freedoms. Totalitarianism reigns?
WIKEPEDIA: Totalitarianism (or totalitarian rule) is a concept used to describe political systems whereby a state regulates nearly every aspect of public and private life. Totalitarian regimes or movements maintain themselves in political power by means of an official all-embracing ideology and propaganda disseminated through the state-controlled mass media, a single party that controls the state, personality cults, control over the economy, regulation and restriction of free discussion and criticism, the use of mass surveillance, and widespread use of terror tactics. The term has been applied to many states, including: the Soviet Union, Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, German Democratic Republic (East Germany), Socialist Republic of Romania, People's Socialist Republic of Albania, People's Republic of China, Democratic Kampuchea and Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea).
Gun control. Gum control. Control, control, control.
That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
I have recently been led to believe that the average American taxpayer works almost 50% of the year just to pay taxes... Federal and state income taxes, sales taxes, gas taxes, hidden taxes... By the time you add pass-through taxes,
it's probably closer to 60% of the year, or 7 months.
I'm sure that news makes you angry. Now, they're passing around bailout money like candy. Everyone is getting a slice except us. They don't even know where it's all going. It's kind of like what started all of this..... Those claims of innocence about not knowing how bad the bottom-line of the housing mortgage industry was becoming and boom!...we had a national emergency and threw over $1 trillion at it, ($350 billion in one chunk). Today, the same crew, (Frankfarter and Company), are standing around wondering where the $350 billion actually went and no one's talking. But, that's a story for another day.... Don't get angry. Get over it; there's more to come. They want to pass around another $2 or $3 trillion. By the time our grandkids get shouldered with this additional bill AND interest, they're going to be working up to 10 months out of the year just to meet their tax burdens. That's totally unfair; we must agree on that. The only way out is for us to spread that tax burden out among more people. I think that, if we put our minds and bodies to it, we can triple our population within 20 years. The key here is that, in 20 years those additional people must be working and paying taxes. So, we have to start now, this day, this minute; everyone needs to triple their family size within the next three years. That requires a family of two, husband and wife, to have four children within the next three years, bringing their family size to six. You can readily see how urgent this situation really is. It's really no laughing matter.
Government can help. When they mail out tax forms this year, they can include 30 Viagra pills for the men and a month's supply of fertility drugs for the women. That should get us off to a good start. (If you're neither man OR woman, you don't need any pills, so I guess Congress doesn't have to participate. They can also help by putting more people on the unemployment rolls, as that ensures additional time to screw or to be screwed. Jump on the bandwagon right now. Don't just covet thy neighbor's wife; nail her. Think of it has doing her husband a favor and saving him the time and trouble of getting her pregnant.
The national interest is at stake. We simply must keep the average tax burden down, and this is the only reasonable solution that comes to mind. That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, lustfully submitted.
The economic crisis facing the world and this nation in particular will worsen dramatically
Oil prices will return to the $100 a barrel range, adding to the economic crisis
There will be massive demonstrations of frustration and unrest, possibly leading to rioting in the streets in many nations including the United States
One of the big three automakers will go belly up
Congress will give some type of legal preference to illegal Mexicans and will vote NOT to close that border
Regardless of how well he is doing as President, some type of charges will be brought against President Obama, leading to a protracted legal battle and diverting his attention from the nation’s problems; Obama will ultimately either be impeached or step down, but probably not until late 2011
Congress will make some move toward taking control of the free press and media, possibly including the Internet
Congress will make another run at national gun control that will impact honest and law-abiding citizens as opposed to criminals
There will be a dramatic increase in conflicts between religious and anti-religious factions
There will be a horrible act of terrorism, beyond anything we have seen, possibly in the United States but certainly in the free world
Russia will make an undisguised attempt to reassemble the Soviet Union
Pakistan will align itself with Iran and Syria
There will be increased reports of UFO's throughout the worldThat's MY AMERICAN OPINION, pessimistically submitted
