IS HILLARY WARMING UP IN THE BULL PEN?


SPECIAL POST

Given the totally unacceptable performance of Barack Hussein Obama in the White House, given the fact that he is lower in the polls than a snake’s belly, and given the fact that the American Tea Parties are giving the Democrats total fits, the pressure is mounting rapidly for Hillary Clinton to seek the 2012 presidential nomination.  Oh boy!

I have alluded to that possibility several times in my blogs.  In fact, a smart move on their part would be for Obama and Biden to both resign and put Hillary in the job automatically, (as Secretary of State, she’s next in line), and then to get behind her in 2012.  Of course, that’s not going to happen, but I honestly think that if Hillary announced today, she’d be 65% or higher in the Democratic polls by tomorrow and Obama would be stuck at 30%, (you have to save 5% leeway, just in case Anthony Weiner decides to run). 

If Hillary does run, I do not think there is a candidate in the Republican field right now who could beat her.  She could handle Perry in a heartbeat.  Romney is toast anyway and Bachmann is losing her luster.  Cain?  Hillary might have a tough time with Cain, but I still think she’d win.  Keep your eyes on her limo and where it parks.

HAGER’S DAYS AND OTHERS SHOULD BE LIMITED


All of the way up to the day of the vote to raise the debt limit, Congressman Wally Hager (R-CA) was insisting that he would stand strong and demand a meaningful deficit reduction plan before allowing the ceiling to be lifted.  Then, on the day of the vote, he and dozens others just like him caved in and voted for the debt ceiling increase that virtually gave Obama everything he wanted and provided for no meaningful deficit reduction. 

Their excuse?  If they didn’t cave in, the nation would have defaulted on its debt.  Then, they tried to hang their hats on the Special Committee that is going to resolve everything by November, stacked with six staunch Republicans and six staunch Democrats who are unlikely to compromise on anything.  If they do not come up with a viable idea, taxes will certainly increase, defense spending gets cut and an automatic deficit reduction occurs.  The very modest cuts included in that legislation largely do not kick in until 2014, where the need for cuts is immediate. 

Now, Hager’s line is that this was an important first step and that they can get on with the business of further deficit reductions.  But, we have a “special committee” who is going to operate in secret to, ostensibly, make those cuts.  Further, the Congress can ignore any cuts anytime it thinks we are in an emergency situation.  Why don’t they set aside money to deal with emergencies like the rest of us do? 

As a result of this lame legislation, we just kicked the can down the road again and we allowed those who would spend us into oblivion to rule the day.  There was no way we would have gone into default over an arbitrary date set by Tim Geithner.  Hager and his cohorts did the nation a big disfavor… again.  They need to be removed and replaced with people who are willing to stand up and do what is right.  .

ROMNEY GETS BEHIND AL GORE ON GLOBAL WARMING


SPECIAL POST

Presidential candidate Mitt Romney has been downplaying the fact that he pioneered the current Massachusetts health care plan, the fore-runner of “ObamaCare.”  That health care program is costing tens of millions of dollars more than forecast in that state and has Massachusetts residents up in arms. 

Now, there is a new revelation.  Romney stands behind Al Gore and says that we are contributing to global warming and need to do something about it.  He’s taking this stance although it has been proven that studies supporting the global warming theories have been manipulated.  He’s also taking this stance although his chief opponent at the moment, Rick Perry, says that the global warming movement is politicized and is a “contrived phony mess.”   

Romney says that “it’s important for us to reduce our emissions of pollutants and greenhouse gases that may be significant contributors,” and he favors EPA actions.  

We all know about the “greenhouse gas effect.”  Various gases including carbon monoxide and methane are supposedly depleting the ozone area.  Recent measurements of the ozone layer show it coming back together.  But, it should be pointed out that there is an abundance of methane being emitted from the halls of Congress. 

Romney again seems to be showing his liberal flair.  He’s a slick talker, all right, but so is Barack Obama.

9/11/11


It’s just around the corner and the ceremony has been set.  They’re limiting access at the World Trade Center to family members so they won’t have any stinking fire fighters or rescue personnel there.  Well, they explain that they wanted the moment to be special for those families who lost loved ones there that day, as if firefighters and rescue people lost nobody.  These insensitive, ignorant and snobbish government elitists make me so sick I could just puke. 

On that day, September 11, 2001, the world stood together.  All of us, black, white, brown, green, Republican, Democrat, future Tea Party members, short, fat, tall, Catholic, Jew, Presbyterian…. Just about all of us stood together, shoulder-to-shoulder, elbow-to-elbow and hand-in-hand; the Muslims stood across the street making plans for their new Mosque.   

I don’t think any of us who were alive then will ever forget those awful moments, standing in front of TV sets in our living rooms, shopping malls, offices… and watching the ugly scenes unfolding before us while waiting for the next tragedy to make its appearance.  Most of us were not there on the streets of New York City or Washington; we were not onboard the planes or in the buildings, but we all felt the pain and the fear. 

We looked to Washington for leadership and our President bumbled his way through things, but that didn’t matter; at least his words gave us some comfort in knowing that whoever did these things to us would pay the price.  In this Republic for which our flag stands, we truly stood united, one nation under God, with liberty and justice for all. 

But today, the families of the stinkin’ firefighters and rescue people who gave their lives that day now have no place in this tragedy, no right to share their grief.  And the Muslims across the street, the ones whose brothers perpetrated this day of horror upon us, are getting ready to start their construction. 

God Bless America.

SHOULD WE JUST GIVE UP?


SPECIAL POST

That’s an interesting question.  If we throw in the sponge and let Obama have whatever he wants, it won’t be long before everybody has quit working and has gone to the government dole.  No one will need to pay taxes because the government can just print more money when it needs it.  Everyone will own their own house and electric car, and we will all have the same amount of money in the bank, which will be owned and controlled by the government so they won’t be nicking us for any bank fees. 

The rich, of course, will pack up and leave the country before we glom onto their money and redistribute their wealth, but then we can convert their mansions into government-owned property for the elite government ministers to live in.  We won’t have an education problem because no one will have to go to school; the government will provide for everybody.  Just imagine, free booze, drugs and plenty of illegal aliens to go around and keep your lawn mowed. 

All of this is sounding better and better every word I type.  Hell, why fight ‘em when we can join ‘em?

IN THE MEANWHILE: BACK TO OBAMA’S BIRTH CERTIFICATE


Remember all of the fuss that Donald Trump made about Obama’s birth certificate?  Remember that Barack shucked and ducked the issue and then finally produced one and Trump shut his yap?  Remember the claims that subsequently came forth that the certificate had been forged?  You may have seen the evidence showing “copy and paste” maneuvers and you may have compared the type to other type on a known legitimate birth certificate issued in the same timeframe and seen for yourself that something was amiss. 

Minuteman PAC is reporting that research expert Ron Polland, Ph.D., is saying that he made the latest birth certificate himself.  Polland says he manufactured the fake certificate to prove that the “Certificate of Live Birth” that Obama was flashing around since 2008 was a fraud, and that Obama’s cronies found his fake certificate on Snopes.com and glommed onto it in an effort to shut Trump up. 

Why the issue continues to drag on does bother me.  Obama has spent millions of dollars defending his right not to produce a certificate and defending the original “certificate of live birth.”  Why would he do this if the certificate was really valid?  Why wasn’t the State of Hawaii the one to release the latest “certificate” to the press and media instead of Obama’s cronies, as would be quite a bit more authentic?   

One thing is certain: if Obama’s certificate is a forgery, (and we have Polland claiming that it is), and since we have Obama himself bringing it forth in a news conference, it would seem to me that we have an impeachable offense. 

This is serious business and it should not be relegated to the dust bin.  We’re entitled to know.
