April 2010 Ramblings...

Ok, this blog has turned into a monthly posting then weekly, but here goes my observations for the month of April 2010:

President Obama stated that the right claims that he and his administration are Marxist but cannot offer any proof…oh really?

• When pushed for proof, President Obama states no one can support those claims including Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh.
• Compares his health care plan to that proposed by Former Republican governor of Mass. Mitt Romney – so therefore it is not socialist. Funny thing is that is at the state level not the federal level.  You do not like it in MA - then move out of the state.
• Joe Biden tries to defend Obama regarding the redistribution of wealth regarding the health care bill (calls it fair)
• Allen Grayson – defends and compares socialism/Marxism with the Nazis.
• People comparing the word socialism to that of the “n” word.

So my two questions are, What has President Obama done to prove he is not a Marxist? and What has Obama done to prove he is not fundamentally transforming this country?

Phil Hare (D-IL) Illinois Senator believes in people dying and not having health care, then upholding and defending the Constitution. He quotes Declaration of Independence.

• When someone calls him out on that, he stated he doesn’t care.

Congressman Hank Johnson (D-GA) speaking at a press conference is worried that 8000 marine troops sent to Guam would tip over and capsize the island. It was only until the video of this incident, that he issued a statement – that this was just a humorous statement that no one got. It was just a metaphor to the damages on the eco-system. Right...I will believe that when pigs fly.

Steve Cohen (D-TN) compares Tea Party to KKK. Claims they are following George Wallace – a racist democrat. Claims that Tea Party is not diverse enough by not having enough minorities.

Outstanding statistic for April:
47% of this country will not pay any income tax for 2009 tax year.

Speaking of the New York Times, it reports that the government will compare the effectiveness of health care treatments. Now that the government is in charge of the Health Care System, the NYT is trying to sell us on how we need less health care. I do not know about you, but this sounds like rationing to me.

Bill Clinton recently gave a speech at the Center for American Progress (you know the place where Van Jones is hiding and is funded by left progressive - George Soros). Basically he compared the Tea Party movement to that of the Oklahoma City bombing.  Funny thing was before giving this speech he was in partial support of the Tea Party - for the right of peacefully speaking out and demostrating.

Speaking of Bill Clinton, Will a Clinton Member become a Supreme Court nominee? Funny how Bill was just at the center for American progress which serves a think tank for the current administration.  And now Anita Dunn has opened the for this as well.  Dunn states we need a diversity of experience in the Supreme Court.

Chris Christie receives threat for freezing teacher pay for one year. Not from Teachers themselves but rather the all powerful Teacher Union.  Funny thing was he was not asking for teachers to be fired but just a one year pay freeze to helpe get the state budget in order.  Now there are calls for his resignation.  He was brought in to clean up the mess left for former governor John Corzine and he is making the tough choices to make a difference.

Joe Klein is stating that anyone who speaks out against this administration is becoming seditious (like Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin).  What has happened to free speech and the first admendment in this country?

Federal security workers can go through your computer in addition to luggage called digital seizure. Currently the law is enforced only 100 miles from either Canada or Mexico. Doesn’t this get protected by the 4th amendment? Government is making a case that they no longer need a warrant to track you via cell phone GPS. Also the government states that you should not expect privacy when it comes to using your cell phones or electronic mail.

David Gregory of NBC stated during his Sunday shows “What did freedom give the American people?” “And this free market collapse is more of a case we need less freedom”

President Obama wants to pass a law limiting free speech, that states there is some free speech that is so offensive that it should be silenced. They want congress to determine what that speech is. The first amendment states “Congress shall pass no law…” in regards to free speech.  So I would love to see how the President will achieve this.

The IMF (International Monetary Fund) wants to create a global VAT tax and keep the fund for distrubtion.  They are calling this a global bank tax.  These global organizations for some time wanted a serious revenue stream and now they are trying to get one.

The House of Representatives voted and approved on Puerto Rico Democracy Act HR2499

• Pushed by New Progressive Party movement in PR for federal vote
• Governor of Puerto Rico who is listed as a republican, is chairman of New Progressive Party. And what is this current administration full of - Progressives on both sides of the asle.
• This bill is being presented as a non-binding vote, would allow a two step process to vote on statehood in Puerto Rican senate because it passed in the House.
• Political flyers from Puerto Rico state PR could implement Tennessee plan:
• Send 2 senators and 6 representatives to Washington to demand to be represented
• To Self determine the country’s future
• Congressman Jason Chafets (R-UT) is a oppenent of this bill recently stated:
• Will allow people who live in United States to vote on status of PR.
• Where is the coverage in the news?  I had to hear about this bill from my family members in Puerto Rico who do not want statehood and conservative talk radio.  There was nothing on the main stream media
• During the 2008 election campaign in Puerto Rico, the new progressive party stated it would get Puerto Rico statehood by enacting the Tennessee Plan.

Obama states that there should be a salary cap – so at what point do people have enough money.  This is not just for CEO's but ordinary United States citizens.

You know I was thinking Police and Law enforcement cannot ask illegal immigrants for ID, but the IRS can ask legal American citizen for proof of health insurance now that the health care bill is passed.  And now congress wants United Citizens to carry a national ID card...again, why are citizens getting the shaft?

News from the Holiday Weekend...

Reality TV Show couple breaks into the White House:

• The wife – Michaele Salahi is scheduled to appear in Bravo TV’s Real Housewives of DC.
• While not invited, the couple went through the same security checks as the rest of the guests, so the politicians were not in immediate danger.
• Comments: Begs the question, who let them in? There is a similar story in a favorite movie of mine – National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets. If this couple can get to the president, you can bet the terrorists are watching and taking notes. The guest list does not include any anti-Obama people. If MSNBC, CBS, etc was there…where was the representatives from Fox News?

Charges in St. Louis SEIU Incident:

• Finally charges in the SEIU incident where SEIU members attacked an African-American republican.
• Comments:Why did mainstream media run the story the day after thanksgiving? Did anyone watch? If must have been between the half time shows.  Another straw in the Chicago style of politics of the current administration.

Dubai financially melts down over the weekend.

 

Health Care Bill:

• Michael Cannon at the Cato Institute, states the actual cost of the New Health Care is 6 trillion dollars not 1 trillion as stated by the current session of congress.
• The fact that the Abortion clause is in Health Care Bill (Overton window), to me states congress wants us focus on just the abortion part of the bill, when we should be debating the bill in the first place.
• The state of Kansas is stating Abortion is a necessary mental health issue – for the long term mental health of the mother.  Perhaps its my catholic upbringing and current Chirstian views
• Death Panels – remember when conservatives were crazy for thinking and stating they exist…how about the story that ran on 60 minutes

Global Climate Scandal:

• Bill Clinton – “Global Warming will make some places colder” What was that Mr. President?
• Climate changes happen over a millennia.
• The UN is standing firm and state that a few people cannot influence the climate data alone.
• All the raw data has been destroyed during the “process” regarding climate-gate. Why cant anyone see the government is playing games. NASA climatologists used November data for October to state coldest October on record.
• Democrat Senator Daniel Akaka (Hawaii) admits there is nothing in the US Constitution that gives congress the authority to make individuals purchase health care.
• Comments: What happens when Climate-gate is fully exposed? Both republicans and democrats will be in real trouble for spending the country into debt for a fraud. The scientific community will be discredited. What’s left of the main stream journalism will be discredited. Who is left to believe in?

Cop Killer in Washington State:

• Maurice Clemmons shot dead on November 30, 2009 after killing four police officers and starting a 2 day man-hunt.
• Former Governor Mike Huckabee (Arkansas) released a statement regarding suspect killing 4 police officers in Washington State.
• States fault is with the Justice System.
• Comments:  I can respect Mike Huckabee's views on being a compassionate Christian (being a Christian myself).  However, I feel it is one thing to forgive a person of their sins but its another to forgive a man's debt to society.  Especially a man with a violent past and a 95 year jail sentence with was given by a jury of his peers.  These four police officers died a needless death.  May they rest in peace.

Navy Seals being Brought up on Charges:

• SO-2 Matthew McCabe is facing three charges:
• Dereliction of performance of duty for willfully failing to safeguard a detainee
• Making a false official statement
• Assault
• SO-2 Jonathan Keefe is facing two charges:
• Dereliction of performance of duty
• Making a false official statement
• SO-1 Julio Huertas is facing three charges:
• Dereliction of performance of duty
• Making a false official statement
• Impediment of an investigation
• These Navy Seals being court-martialed (at their request) because during an arrest of a high profile terrorist in Afghanistan because the terrorist complained of brutality (a fat lip – that’s it).
  
• Original recommended procedure was Admiral Mass (without the chain of command).
• Comments: This could be a fall out from the marines killing the Somalian pirates. How about we let the Pentagon run the war NOT the White House or Congress. My father (Korean War Veteran PFC Army) would be rolling over in his grave if he knew what congress was doing.  To me this is further evidence that the current administration is hell bent on putting George Bush and his administration on trial.

Glenn Beck:

• London times stated that Glenn Beck’s past is so bad, it is almost unbelievable. 
• Speaking of Beck, turns out that advertising protest that ColorofChange.org was pushing isn't quite having the effect it had hoped. 

Herman Van Rumpuy:

• Recently elected new European Union President
• States: “2009 also the first year of the first year of global governance”. Watch for yourself!
• Comments: Of course people who have been saying this was going to happen were viewed as crazy, but every day there is more and more evidence.  How much more do we need before the media and people start to believe?

 Seven Stories that Barrack Obama does not want told: (Politico)

• Everyone thinks he is playing with monopoly money
• President is emotionless
• Playing hardcore Chicago politics
• Plays to the crowd and a pushover
• Feels the USA is nothing special, just another country in the UN roll call
• President Pelosi
• Celebutante

American more Tolerant?

You have all heard the news that America needs to be more tolerant of Muslims and we need to be more like our European counterpart, like France. Turns our in a recent survey, America is actually more tolerant then the “Enlightened Europeans”.  Here is the proof as provided by the Pew Global Attitudes Project.

• Negative Views of Jews
• 46% of Spain
• 25% of Germany
• 33% of France - 33%
• USA – 11%
• Negative views of Muslims
• Spain – 52%
• Germany 50%
• Poland 46%
• France 38%
• Russia 32%
• England 23%
• USA – 23% (and we are the ones who were attacked)
• Did I mention that now in Switzerland that they have banned all Muslim buildings?
• Interesting isn’t it? Where is the mainstream media on this one. That’s right, we are still the bad guys and must be destroyed.

New York Times:

 

Will not release emails that were stolen regarding Climate-gate yet, when Newt Gingrich’s cell phone conversation was tapped illegally, the NY Times published his personal phone calls. Interesting.

 

Senator Kent Conrad (D – North Dakota)

• States that Americans who disagree with Eric Holder should leave the country.

ACORN:

• Eric Holder (The Justice Department) states the Obama administration can lawfully pay the community group, ACORN for services provided under contract. Interesting that President Obama signed into law a spending bill that included a provision that no taxpayer money (including money authorized by previous legislation) could be provided to said group or its affiliates.

Decision on Afghanistan:

• President Obama is going to announce his decision on Afganistan at West Point.
• 117 US troops died since the request for reinforcements was placed on the President's desk for review.

Jon Corzine

• Incumbent democrat who lost in the election for Governor of New Jersey.
• Spent a total of 131 million dollars on his three campaigns.

Move-On.org:

• Not too happy with the President's decision on the war in Afghanistan

ACORN

Interesting Facts that I heard today - Community Reinvestment Act (Must lend money to poor credit risk):

• It was passed by President Bill Clinton (and involves Barney Frank)
• If the banks refused to comply, the government would shut the banks down and suspend the interstate banking license.
• Major banks include Citizen Bank in Mass, Bank of NY just to name a few.
• One way to satisfy this requirement was to partner with ACORN
• Banks could make monetary donations to ACORN
• Banks could also make equipment donations with ACORN
• Or Banks could partner with ACORN to provide loans to credit risks

ACORN was only defunded for one month, money goes back to ACORN November 1, 2009

An economist from Arizona State University who has kept track of the current economic situation:

• 30% Private wealth produced controlled by government currently because of the bail out stimulus package
• If Health Care bill passed the number increases 18%
• If Cap and Trade bill passes the number increases another 8%
• So if all bills pass – the federal government will control 56% of all private wealth produced by 2011

It all seems interesting, doesn't it?
