Glenn Beck on Obama's "Spending Freeze" Also Known As The 8 Twinkie Diet

Greetings,

If you haven't seen this - WATCH! This is all you need to know about the Obama "Spending Freeze" in plain English with an easy to understand analogy:

Glenn Beck- January 27, 2010 (Part 1/5)


Glenn Beck- January 27, 2010 (Part 2/5)

Speaking as a junk food junkie I can relate - I mean if I stop getting 2 Hardees burgers . . .

Hardee's Portobello Melt


Hardee's Bacon-Cheese Thickburger


then can I call it a diet if I get 1 Monster Burger?

Hardees MonsterBurger


and maybe have a king-size Kit-Kat bar later?

Because let me see, we got the bank bailouts, the auto-industry bailouts, Dave Obey's $787 Billion 'Stimulus' bill, what else? Anyways, I'm glad that Obama wants to freeze spending - now that he has increased it to all time record highs!

All I got to say is, "Pass me the box of Twinkies Mr. President."

Strike A Blow For Freedom! Dump Obey - Elect Duffy!

Elections belong to the people. It is their decision. If they decide to turn their back on the fire and burn their behinds, then they will just have to sit on their blisters. - Abbie Hoffman

So what?
David Obey


Can you tell these hippies apart?

In order to cover up for the failure of the first stimulus bill, Dave Obey has just helped pass a more modest (cough, choke) second stimulus bill. But democrats are not calling it that, they are calling it an 'omnibus' bill - one that costs $447 Billion. Congressman Obey also arranged to hand out $11 Billion in earmarks in fiscal year 2010. How does congressman Obey think we will pay for it when his usual partner in crime Speaker Nancy Pelosi killed his war tax?

I mean when Obey goes left of Nancy Pelosi - can he still really be representing central and northern Wisconsin? Dave Obey seems stuck in a rut, his answer to every problem is to tax or spend. He doesn't seem to have much imagination for any other ideas. I mean with guys like Dave Obey around, we'd have more fiscal sanity if Doctor Evil were in charge of the Federal Budget:

We don't have to take this much longer though, we have a choice. On December 16th in 1773 was when the first Boston Tea Party. Go to StrikeABlowForFreedom.com and contribute to his challenger Sean Duffy. Duffy is a movement conservative. He is a 4 term District Attorney in Ashland Wisconsin who has spent the last 7-8 years of his life locking up the bad guys. Duffy is a father of 5 with #6 on the way. His beautiful and talented wife Rachel just recently wrote a book on being a stay at home mother.

I've had the pleasure to have known Sean since 2003 as a Republican Party activist. Sean is a family man who has strong conservative values all-around, especially in regards to the rule of law as well as economics and values. Maybe I'm a little biased having known Sean, but don't you think this is *the kind of guy we need* as an antidote to the corruption, expediency & end-justifies-the-means mentality of Obey & Obama? I sure do.

Click Here

Want to make a statement? Give $12.16 in memory of the date of the Boston Tea Party. Can't do that much? Give $5. You can do better? Give $50 or $100. Whatever, just give Sean something so he can charge on to beat Dave Obey - the chairman of the appropriations committee who has shepherded every bailout, every porkbarrel project, every penny of wasteful spending since the Democrats took control of the House.

TTFN & God Bless,

Jim

Obey's Gambit - Raise Taxes To Pay For Afghanistan War

Greeting gentle readers,

Only a guy who feels so secure in his seat in Congress could propose the things Dave Obey proposes. I mean - this is a guy who pitches his own record albums on a campaign website:


Far Left: Dave Obey

1st he passed that $787 billion blunder we now jokingly call the 'Stimulus Package', now while we are in the height of a recession, he decides we need to raise taxes to pay for the war in Afghanistan. There are several good reasons to do this (from his point of view):

1) It silences critics on the right, after all, supporting the troops is patriotic right? Who would not support that?

2) He already passed a $787 billion stimulus bill, voted for national healthcare (TRILLION$) and all that spending is supposed to be "deficit neutral" right? So this is a tax to make sure we don't create a deficit by spending extra on national defense.

Here is the quote that tells it all:

"On the merits I think it's a mistake to deepen our involvement. But if we are going to do that, then at least we ought to pay for it. Because if we don't, if we don't pay for it, then the cost of the Afghan war will wipe out every other initiative that we have to rebuild our economy," he said. "Ain't going to be no money for nothing if we pour it all into Afghanistan."

Taken from:
Lawmakers Propose 'War Surtax' to Pay for Troop Increase in Afghanistan and
Pressure Builds Over Obama’s Afghanistan Plan

But don't take my word for it what Congressman Obey's cheif concerns are, read his own words:

"We have spent the last year in Congress debating how we will pay for health care reform, which is expected to cost nearly a trillion dollars over the next ten years. The Congressional Budget Office is earnestly measuring the cost of each competing health care plan, and has had most of Congress twisting themselves into knots in order to keep the health care bill deficit neutral. Shouldn’t it be asked to do the same thing with respect to money spent on the current wars? We have already spent nearly a trillion dollars on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan - an effort that’s been paid for with borrowed money - and another ten years would cost about a trillion more. If we keep that up, it will devour our nation’s ability to address virtually any other priority." - emphasis mine

Are we talking about the war on terror or healthcare? It's hard to tell going by Dave Obey's favorite newspaper, the San Francisco Chronicle:

"He said the ten-year cost of the war clocks in at $900 billion, about the size of the Democratic health care legislation."

He said?

And that 1st quote came from the 'Health Care Arena' section of Politico. So the image I'm getting is that National Defense (a priority outlined in our Constitution) takes a backseat to healthcare (something not addressed in our Constitution). I got a news flash for congressman Obey - If the Nation is not safe, what we pay the doctor, dentist or our insurance companies won't matter!

That is a 1st principle that goes all the way back to Hobbes, the 1st priority of a nation is the security of it's citizenry. A secure citizenry can enjoy Freedom, a people living in the condition of strife can't.

To put words in Dave Obey's mouth, "If we blow money on a silly war, there will be no money for our newly created and very expensive social programs, especially MY stimulus bill!"

Oh come on now congressman, you are more creative than that, you'll get the money from somewhere right?

Now that's the creativity that made the Democratic party great!

Here's one of my personal faves from Cody Willard at Marketwatch, just in case you think my intimation about congressman Obey's priorities are wrong:

"At any rate, let’s keep the record straight about Representative Obey’s voting on spending priorities, shall we?
David Obey on Budget & Economy

Democratic Representative (WI-7):

Voted YES on $192B additional anti-recession stimulus spending.

Voted YES on $800 Billion TARP Bailout

Voted YES on modifying bankruptcy rules to avoid mortgage foreclosures.

Voted YES on additional $825 billion for economic recovery package.

Voted YES on $15B bailout for GM and Chrysler.

Voted YES on $60B stimulus package for jobs, infrastructure, & energy."

Full blog here.

And my true favorite for the day from the Los Angleles Times which basically shows that congressman Obey is an aging hippie, molded by the Viet Nam era politics:

"David Obey came to Congress in 1969, a young Democratic congressman from Wisconsin, opposed to the Vietnam War and mindful of the funding it was draining from Lyndon Johnson's Great Society programs.

Thirty years later, he is chairman of the House Appropriations Committee and adamant that Afghanistan is a similar quagmire that could bankrupt President Obama's domestic agenda."

It's not about fiscal responsibility, it's all about finding cover for Dave Obey's fiscal irresponsibility.

Obama, The Recovery Act & Fatigue

Greetings,

Watch this video. In it you find some interesting admissions if you pay attention. The president says the 'Recovery Act' helped "stabilize state budgets" and that in turn helped save the jobs of state employees. Not one word about how the Recovery Act created new private sector jobs or grew small businesses, only that stabilized state budgets, saved state employee jobs and created some infrastructure jobs (temporary road construction) which will go away once the work is completed. In other words, Dave Obey's American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 was a $787 billion stopgap bill - and that is allowing for the best possible construction. Since the bill really only helped state employees and unions (those road construction jobs) it could be construed as a special interest porkbarrel pay-off. Detractors will say he also talked about Tax cuts - but notice how unenthusiastic he looks when mentioning it as if talking about it were obligatory and he just wanted to get it out of the way. On the other hand, he seems to think that stabilizing state budgets with federal money (the only time he looks really animated) was a worthwhile accomplishment!

Also, did you notice how tired Obama looks and sounds? This is the same kind of fatigue we saw on Jimmy Carter's face at the end of his presidency.

I smell Victory in 2010 & 2012!

Why Obama Could Not Go To Germany

Greetings,

20 years ago something very momentous happened, on November 9th, 1989, people from both East and West Germany crowded atop the Berlin Wall and brought it down to the ground. At the time I was a young man of 23, I had been married for less than a year to my beautiful wife Kristine and it was for me a year of wonder and euphoria. I had grown up in an America that lived under the constant and imminent fear of global, nuclear destruction. I also had grown up a rather lonely child with as many friends as I could count on my hand and was never known as a ladies man in High School. Now it was 1989 and I was married and the world seemed to be entering a new era of Peace and Freedom.

The air was charged with an optimism never felt before, even in popular culture with the song Peace In Our Time by Eddie Money. For many people my age, this was the legacy of Ronald Reagan and there was much animated discussion at the time by pundits such as George Will about how it happened on "Bush's watch" as did Gary Wills later - but Ronald Reagan deserved much (not all) of the real credit while others wanted the credit to go to George H.W. Bush. 20 years after the fact, Bush told Greta Van Susteren humbly that, "...we had a great team working on it, and they all deserve credit." The New York Times predictably gave the credit to the communists:

East German Change Owes No Thanks To Us

2 years prior on June 12th, 1987, Ronald Reagan delivered his landmark "Mr. Gorbachev . . . tear down this wall" speech:

Watch here:



Text and audio here

President Obama recently declined to visit Germany even for one day because he is too busy with an upcoming trip to Asia (he claims) but do you suppose it might be because it is not enough about him? Or could it be that the fall of the Berlin Wall was too much of a statement of the triumph of Democracy and Freedom over Statism? After all, the collapse of the Berlin Wall is the most concrete (pun intended) empirical data you could ask for to show that a Command Economy will fail when left to compete with a Market Economy. This is why in philosophy and political science we call Communism and Socialism forms of Idealism - they only work in your head, not in real life where the rubber hits the road. After all, an 'Idealist' is a person who upon observing that a rose smells better than a cabbage concludes that it will also make better soup and an 'Ideologue' is a humorless zealot who finds fulfillment by spouting the ideas of famous humorless zealots - like Karl Marx and Nancy Pelosi.

And that leads us back to our beloved President who may be an idealist but is also savvy enough to know he neither would fit in at a celebration of the fall of the Berlin Wall (because he doesn't really understand Freedom like someone such as Angela Merkel, the daughter of a Lutheran minister who lived under Communism), nor would he want to invite a comparison of his creeping socialist policies to those of the fallen Soviet Union.

Now for those of you without blood pressure issues, watch what Obama did have to say, all 3 minutes and 4 secinds of it:



Not one mention of Reagan, Bush, Thatcher or John Paul II - but he did inject himself and Hillary Clinton into it! What a colossal egomaniac, reminds me of a country song, I'm glad he did not go.

TTFN,

Jim

NEWSFLASH! Bill Ayers May Be Obama Book Author

Greetings all,

1st I read it here, on a blog that normally covers Lutheran Theology. Then I read more here. Amazing confession. Is it true? According to these blogs:


"There I was, sitting in Reagan National Monday morning, sipping a Starbucks by the United counter before going through security. I had a little time, so I was browsing through the news. Some military guys had borrowed a chair from my table. I looked up from time to time to enjoy the sun streaming through. That's when I saw Bill Ayers, an instant blight. Scruffy, thinning beard, dippy earring, and the wirerims, heading to order. I gathered my things, got my camera ready, and snapped a shot right when he got his coffee.

I asked--what are you doing in D.C. Mr. Ayers?

For a moment I thought he might be on my flight back to Chicago. Charming. Initially I guess he thought I was laying claim to his coffee or something. He gave me an uneasy cheesy smile when he realized I was taking his picture. I asked him if he was speaking at GW? (Only I said GFW, guess I had the VFW on my mind) He said oh you mean GW, he said no...was trying to decide if I was a fan, then said he was giving a lecture in Arlington to a Renaissance group on education--that's what I do, education--you shouldn't believe everything you hear about me, you know nothing about me. I said, I know plenty--I'm from Chicago, a conservative blogger, and I'll post this. (Oh, yeah, Bill Ayers, quite the Renaissance man, nail-bomber extraordinaire. Gee, I see another friend of Barack, U.S. Sec. of Education Arne Duncan was there too. "The conference theme is “A Time for Reflection, Celebration and Rebirth.” How touching. At best, useless, at worst, so wrong.)

Then, unprompted he said--I wrote Dreams From My Father. I said, oh, so you admit it. He said--Michelle asked me to. I looked at him. He seemed eager. He's about my height, short. He went on to say--and if you can prove it, we can split the royalties. So I said, stop pulling my leg. Horrible thought. But he came again--I really wrote it, the wording was similar. I said I believe you probably heavily edited it. He said--I wrote it. I said--why would I believe you, you're a liar.

He had no answer to that. Just looked at me. Then he turned and walked off, and said again his bit about my proving it and splitting the proceeds.

But the question remains--is Barack Obama a fraud? Is his myth-making creation and only major accomplishment a product of Bill Ayers' imagination? (or his own) Is our President Barack Obama's biography written by an unrepentant domestic terrorist?"

Scariest thing I have read about Obama yet. Super-scary.

Germany Moves Further Towards Capitalism & Freedom

Greetings,

Obama and the Dems want us to all become European style socialists but the Europeans are moving to the right! Germany's Angela Merkel (who was often a guest at the Crawford ranch) kicked the liberals butts:

Western Europe Continues to Move to the Center-Right

In more detail here:

Merkel wins as Germans choose centre-right

and

Merkel roars to 2nd term, new coalition in German election thanks to strong ally

Best quote:

"Merkel's CDU and its Bavaria-only sister, the Christian Social Union, won 33.8 per cent of the vote and the Social Democrats took 23 per cent. The Free Democrats captured 14.6 per cent, the Left Party 11.9 per cent and the Greens 10.7 per cent.

That gave the conservatives 239 seats and the Free Democrats 93 in the lower house - for a comfortable centre-right majority of 332 seats to 290. The Social Democrats won 146, the Left Party 76 and the Greens 68."

So while we are close to embracing socialism, the Germans most leftward party - the Greens did the worst of all parties.

Now that's a change you can believe in! 2010 is just around the corner folks, lets see if we can let the winds of freedom blowing in Europe sail back over the Atlantic to us!

I wonder what will happen to them after they loose the health-care debate?



Yeah, highly likely.

Dave Obey, The Obama Czars, California & Other Communists

Greetings gentle readers,

This one gets a little complicated but bear with me, there is a tasty treat inside this story. You may recall in the past I demonstrated that Dave Obey and Nancy Pelosi were joined at the hip in fundraising. Well I dug deeper and found Farallon Capital Management was a significant contributor to Clinton aide / Illinois House member / Obama advisor Rahm Emanuel.

Keep in mind these numbers are to the best of my ability to datamine the web, they could be even higher. What or who is Farallon Capital Management you may be asking? It's led by Thomas (Tom) Steyer, one of these twisted guys who embraces both liberalism and capitalism. Probably because Steyer is a protege of a Clinton crony, Robert Rubin (of Goldman Sachs fame).

Now as you know, Dave Obey is the member of Congress who put his name on the so-called $787 Billion stimulus (also called simuless, porkulus, etc) bill, heck - even Governor Jim Doyle says so! Well . . . not long ago a group called the Apollo Alliance took credit for it:

Here (original link)

and here (Google cached)

Now who might you ask is a prominent member of the Apollo Alliance?

Yup - self-avowed Black Nationalist & Communist Van Jones, now Barack Obama's 'Green Jobs Czar'. Like hey, he's both a Czar and a Communist - how cool is that? This guy obviously did not go through any standard White House FBI background checks or Congressional 'advice and consent', besides the above he is also a '9/11 truther'. But let's not dwell on that, what is even more shocking is this guys ties to power at the highest levels of our government.

Apollo Board Member Van Jones Accepts White House Post

Also:

Aspen Institute Energy and Environment Awards

Individual Thought Leadership

• Winner: Van Jones

Guess what member of Congress has been going to the Aspen Institute for years?

Click on photo below for clearer, larger pic:

and years:




and compare to top:




So is it safe to assume that Dave Obey was present at the Aspen Istitute event where Van Jones received his 'Individual Thought Leadership' award? Did Congressman Obey take part in voting for Van Jones to receive that award? If so, on what basis?

Furthermore, Dave Obey is THE AUTHOR of the $787 Billion 'stimulus' bill which Van Jones' group the Apollo Alliance claimed it wrote. The Apollo Alliance and the Aspen Institute are organizations working together for common purpose - to create Green Jobs. Furthermore, the Apollo Alliance has been working with Barack Obama since at least 2005 while he was still only a freshman Senator to bail out the auto industry:

While Apollo focuses on maintaining consensus, the Breakthrough Institute aims to compete on the terrain of concrete and controversial legislative proposals. To wit, it has been collaborating with the office of Senator Barack Obama on a bill it hopes he will propose later this year known as the Automotive Competitiveness and Accountability Act. It would relieve the pressure on U.S. automakers to bankroll the rising costs of legacy health insurance -- an expense that doesn't burden their foreign competitors -- and, in exchange, obligate them to invest heavily in energy-efficiency technologies and comply with substantially more aggressive fuel-economy standards. It represents a new way of thinking about environmental policies, says Hendricks, “offering a bailout to the [auto industry] from these hugely debilitating health costs they're grappling with but linking it to an accountability for achieving public purposes.”
From Shooting the Moon by Amanda Griscom Little September 18, 2005

Now who started all these bailouts in the 1st place? You may say Bush did and that would be somewhat true but who's advice did he follow to bail out the banks and the auto industry?

Oh yeah, Hank Paulson!



. . . who worked at . . . drumroll please . . .

Goldman Sachs! The Wall Street company that Robert Rubin worked at, whose protege is Tom Steyer who runs Farallon Capital which gives money to Barack Obama (who wanted to bailout the automakers in 2005), Nancy Pelosi, Rahm Emanuel & Dave Obey who wrote the $787 Billion stimulus bill that was really written by the Apollo Alliance which until recently employed Van Jones who received an award from the Aspen Institute which is Dave Obey's favorite travel sponsor. Whew!

Yeah, Van Jones

Dave Obey,


With friends like these . . .

Who Will The Media Anoint Now For Governor?

Greetings all,

Some time ago I said that Doyle was the media's candidate. Well, he was. Now Scott Walker has become the candidate to beat for Governor of Wisconsin. The media is polling and so far Barrett is the best they can do. Milwaukee Mayor Barrett recently got in between 2 people in a violent family dispute at the Wisconsin State Fair and got hit with a crowbar by one of the people and is enjoying some public (deserved) sympathy for his heroics.

But the public only will consider that for so long. Hanging by 2 broken arms for his country wasn't enough for the American people to choose John McCain over Barack Obama. Mayor Barrett will have to separate himself from Governor Doyle just as John McCain tried (but failed) to separate himself from George W. Bush.

It is worth noting that Scott Walker is now the candidate all others are being held up against.












Walker 44% / Barrett 43% Walker 48% / Lawton 43% Walker 49% / Kind 39%

Walker Average = 47%

Democrat Average = 40.66%

Way to go Scott!

A Hollywood Liberal Who Is TIRED Of Obama!

Greetings,

In case you haven't heard, Bill Maher is getting tired of Obama-mania.

Now you have to wade through his swipes at Bush, Cheney, McCain & Limbaugh which are unpleasent but he (who voted for Obama) is getting sick and tired of Obama's celebrity image - in short Maher - who is a comedian wants Obama to act like a serious leader and even gives a few backhanded compliments to Bush's clear leadership skills,

"And we need to marry the good ideas Obama really believes in with that Bush attitude and Bush certitude. I'd love for Obama to come out one day and say, "Jesus told me to fix healthcare." Or, "History will decide whether stopping the polar ice caps from melting and drowning us all was a good thing."

In conclusion, Bush was a jerk, but he never cared about being seen having a burger with Dick Cheney. He picked up the phone in the White House and said, "I'm the president, bring me a burger." And they'd say, "Sir, this is NORAD. Would you please stop ordering burgers with the red phone?"

Maher may be a anticlerical, obnoxious Hollywood bigot but he has 'moments of clarity' from time to time and this is one of those rare moments where the fog lifts and a few rays of common sense break through.

Be sure to read it.

Coleman Franken Fight Still Dragging On (Go Norm!)

Greetings,

Yes, they are stilling battling it out like Rock 'Em Sock 'Em robots in Minnesota:

Franken Coleman (Getty Images)

Coleman recently was ordered by the court to pay part of Franken's legal fees to the tune of $94,783 - ouch!

What makes the race key is two things:

1) First and foremost - Coleman was the original winner by about 700 votes and then Minnesota law kicked in giving Franken the right to an immediate recount - but a win is a win and how do you go from being 700+ ahead to 300 behind?

2) If Franken is seated, Obama, Pelosi and Reid will be an unstoppable train wreck of runaway big government. Republicans in the Senate will loose any power to filibuster which is the sole tool of the minority to stop bad legislation. A filibuster can be invoked with a 2/3 cloture vote. Than the liberal monster will be set loose!



Help Norm Continue The Fight!

Funny And Serious - From NewsBusters

Greetings,

You gotta watch yesterday's broadcast:

Also check out NewsBuster's story on how FOX News anchor Gretchen Carlson's family was affected by the auto bailout. Gretchen's dad owned (past tense) a GM dealership that had been in their family for 90 years. Payback from the Whitehouse? Who knows? If it is payback against a FOX news person who has been an Obama critic, they should not have picked one on the highest rated Morning Show across America - Duh-duh-duh-DUMB!

Watch

Fascism, you bet folks. When the government can dictate to businesses, "Do this, don't do that" like this administration is currently doing to companies we are on a slow slide into a dictatorship. Don't kid yourself folks, there had better be a real and credible opposition from the Republican Party in 2010, not Democrat lite - the message has to be one of free markets and scaling back the size, scope and power of government or we are going to be in dire straights folks.

Greetings,

Imagine what it would be like to fire an entire city at once, sounds breathtaking doesn't it? Downright frightening too no doubt:

Milwaukee Population: 628, 088

Well guess how many jobs the Obama economy lost this week?

According to a recent news story:

"The Labor Department said Thursday that initial claims for unemployment compensation rose to a seasonally adjusted 640,000, up from a revised 613,000 the previous week. That was slightly above analysts' expectations of 635,000. "

That is like the whole city of Milwaukee + Oconomowoc roughly.
