Apparently, Obama Doeasn't Care About the Troops. Only Re-Election.

2009-12-02T16:24:00.000-06:00

Well, Obama has decided to send 30,000 troops to Afghanistan. Not exactly what McChrystal asked for, but kinda close. So, for once Obama has done something reasonable intelligent (but, more on this in a minute). Hopefully our allies will be able to scrounge up 10,000 more troops. I'm not sure about the exact number for each country, but between England, Poland, France, and a few others, they have about 3,000 at the moment.

What I don't get is why he decided that we should have an 18 month time table for withdrawal. All that this is doing is letting the bad guys know when they can come out of hiding. If I were the Taliban, I would be going to the Tribal Leaders and letting them know that when the US troops leave next summer, we will still be here. So, go ahead and decide now which side you are on. And, oh yeah, don't forget, we'll be watching you, and we have lots and lots of guns....

So, does this mean that Obama is prepared to take the blame for us losing in Afghanistan? What about the rest of the Demon-crats? I feel that he has set this time table so that for the 2010 elections, the Demon-crats that are in trouble can say, "Hey, look at us. We are tough on Terror," thus allowing them to deflate some of the arguments from the Republicans. But, in 2012, when he is up for election, he can tell his Communist base that he has single handedly ended Bush's evil war, and that he deserves to be elected King of the World.

The sad part is, it will probably work. Not for the mid-term elections, but for Obama in 2012. By then the vote on this God-forsaken government run healthcare bill will be ancient history, at least as far as the American memory is concerned. The MSM will once again sing the praises of the Messiah. "Glory to Obama on high, and peace to his people on Earth!" I just pray that the people will remember all of the crap that Obama has pulled. You know, Communists in the White House, calling white police officers racists, spending us into hyper inflation (oh wait, its coming!), telling us that he is intentionally going to increase our utilities with cap and trade, taking away our freedoms, nationalizing the banks (which Bush started), nationalizing the auto industry (remember Yugo's?), calling people from the middle of the country gun loving Bible thumping hicks, starting a war with Fox News instead of finishing the war with Al-Quida, blaming everything on the Republics when his party was in power for a year before he got there, etc. Theres alot more, but I'm tired of thinking about it. My blood pressure is skyrocketing. I think I need a beer.

The only way around all of these problems is to fight back. You must. We must do everything possible to fix the atrocities that 75 years of liberalism have wrought on our country. Get involved. Join the Tea Party. Help a local businessperson get elected to office. Do whatever you can to help the right people get into office. This is the only way to end our downward spiral towards socialism. And this doesn't mean to just find someone of your party and vote for them. That is how we got into this mess in the first place. Research the candidates, and if none are worthy of your vote, convince someone who is to run. Or, maybe we should all vote for you? We will never know until you get involved.

On a side note: Anytime your kids start acting up, threaten to take them to the mall. I promise, they don't want you anywhere NEAR their friends! Especially not when you start telling everyone about how cool you used to be and how your kids pee'd their pants until they were 11. It doesn't matter that you weren't and they didn't, their friends don't know that.

A Balanced Budget Amendment

2009-11-24T21:35:00.002-06:00

The body of today's post was originally posted on www.biggovernment.com. It makes great sense, and I highly recommend that you read it and take action. We have probably gone too far to keep from falling over the edge, but a balanced budget is the best place to start getting our finances under control.

This is not Congress's money, it is ours. We have had to cut back the budgets in our homes, and so now we must cut back the budget in our government. It is not their money to spend. It is ours, and we will no longer let the crooks in Washington blow through it like teenagers with Daddy's credit card!

Please read on.

A Balanced Budget Amendment…Before It’s Too Late!

by Timothy Mooney

This week, the US federal debt surpassed the $12 Trillion threshold.

Congress will vote in December to extend America’s indebtedness above $12,100,000,000,000, necessitated because our national debt grew last year by more than $1,400,000,000,000 and will grow this year by $1,400,000,000,000. According to the Obama White House estimates, the national debt will continue to grow by more than $1 trillion for the next nine years. Except it won’t…because it can’t. There just isn’t $9 Trillion to borrow.

For years we’ve heard about the immorality of putting this debt on our grandkids. Forget the grandkids, our economy is at grave risk of collapse right now!

The dollar is in free-fall. The Ponzi scheme Congress calls Social Security is about to collapse. Foreigners are beginning to balk at loaning the US government more money. That grave economic turmoil our debt and deficit will cause in the future? It’s here now.

Beyond threatening our economic security, our national debt is imperiling our national independence. We now owe foreign entities $3.448 Trillion – 28.2% more than just 12 months ago!

Three of the five largest holders of US debt should cause you sleepless nights. We owe China the most, $797 billion — 38.9% more than we did just 12 months ago. We owe Oil Exporting Countries $189.2 billion – 11.5% more than just 12 months ago. And we owe Caribbean Banking Centers (thought to hold billions in narco-terrorist money) $180.2 billion – 35.5% more than just 12 months ago. Japan and the United Kingdom round out the top five foreign debt holders, with our debt to the UK increasing an astonishing 173% in just the last 12 months.

Can we really expect China to increase its lending to the US by nearly 40% next year, and each of the next nine years? Even if it wanted to, the UK doesn’t have the cash to increase its lending to the US by another 173% next year.

Any one of these debt holders could put the US economy in collapse overnight by selling or even just threatening to sell off their US debt holdings.

We owe them…they own us! Clearly, our national independence is in grave risk.

The Federal government also owes Social Security and Medicare $4.5 Trillion. With the economic downturn, Social Security doled out more money than it took from employees’ paychecks for the first time this year. By 2016 – just seven years from now – according to the Social Security Trustees report, Social Security will move from surplus to permanent deficit as the baby boomers retire.

(That “lock-box” presidential candidates like to talk about has never existed. The Social Security ponzi scheme makes Bernie Madoff look like a wayward kid shoplifting a pack of gum.)

If we do not balance the budget by the time Social Security moves to permanent deficit in 2016, we almost assuredly will not without a cataclysmic economic crisis.

What’s the solution? A balanced budget constitutional amendment.

History has shown Congress simply won’t act responsibly unless the voters force them to balance the budget. With great voter pressure, Congress came within 1 Senate vote of passage of the balanced budget amendment in 1996 – and the Congress passed balanced budgets each of the next four years.

When support for the balanced budget amendment waned, Congress spent like crazy.

A balanced budget amendment is the only cure to a Congress unwilling to control spending. In fact, Germany passed the BBA just last year.

That’s why we launch this week DeficitFree.com – a national push for a Balanced Budget Amendment by July 4, 2013, and a balanced Federal budget by July 4, 2016. These would be the two best birthday gifts we could give our country!

Our first and immediate goal is to bring together 5 million Balanced Budget Amendment supporters by July 4, 2010, with a minimum of 5,000 from each Congressional district. You can join the movement atwww.DeficitFree.com. This non-partisan movement is being launched by some of America’s most successful grassroots activists – not Washington DC politicians.

We need 5 million voters to work together to ensure the Balanced Budget Amendment becomes the most prominent issue in the 2010 Congressional races and in the 2012 Presidential contest.

If we don’t, it won’t be our grandkids who will suffer the economic collapse of our country and our loss of national independence.

It will be us!

Wow. Isn't This Great.......

Landrieu, The $100 Million Health Care Vote?
by Jonathan Karl (excerpt)
ABC NEWS

What does it take to get a wavering senator to vote for health care reform? Here’s a case study. On page 432 of the Reid bill, there is a section increasing federal Medicaid subsidies for “certain states recovering from a major disaster.” The section spends two pages defining which “states” would qualify, saying, among other things, that it would be states that “during the preceding 7 fiscal years” have been declared a “major disaster area.”

I am told the section applies to exactly one state: Louisiana, the home of moderate Democrat Mary Landrieu, who has been playing hard to get on the health care bill. In other words, the bill spends two pages describing would could be written with a single world: Louisiana. (This may also help explain why the bill is long.)

Senator Harry Reid, who drafted the bill, cannot pass it without the support of Louisiana’s Mary Landrieu. How much does it cost? According to the Congressional Budget Office: $100 million.

See Where Your State Ranks!

See where your state ranks in the Obama "Created Jobs" scandal! How many fake jobs can be created? Well, I can't answer that, but Obama certainly can!

Check out the map and see where all of the fake jobs are being created. If jobs have not been created here, where did the money go?
