Little White Lies, White Lies and...

Damn Big Lies...

President Obama is going to say he doesn't think this particular Climate bill is the right one for our country and he may veto it; on his right hand. Then he is going sign it with his left hand. This has become this President's modus operandi. You can't believe a word he says...or maybe you can. He told us during the Presidential campaign that he was going to spread the wealth. And he told a little white lie.

He said he was going to spread the wealth around to the folks and at least one of his supporters, Peggy Joseph, believed him. Remember this?

I wonder where she is today. She probably will get what she wants eventually, judging from what I understand of the bills the President has signed. She isn't a "productive" member of society. She a charter member of the welfare society. She is one of the people that Obama deems as one of the "rightful owners" that he has talked about spreading the wealth to.

Ms. Joseph should read the fine print. The wealth is being spread alright, to campaign supporters, political hacks and the Democratic side of Congress and the Senate. Congress is getting huge payoffs for their votes in favor the President's plans.
Ask Congresswoman Marcie Captor.
When House Democratic leaders were rounding up votes Friday for the massive climate-change bill, they paid special attention to their colleagues from Ohio who remained stubbornly undecided.

They finally secured the vote of one Ohioan, veteran Democratic Rep. Marcy Kaptur of Toledo, the old-fashioned way. They gave her what she wanted - a new federal power authority, similar to Washington state's Bonneville Power Administration, stocked with up to $3.5 billion in taxpayer money available for lending to renewable energy and economic development projects in Ohio and other Midwestern states.

Maybe something will filter down to Ms. Joseph just before the next election so Obama can buy her vote and the votes of the everyone on the rapidly expanding welfare rolls. After all they are going to have to depend on the hubris of the Federal Government for their livelihoods.

The states are broke from all the unfunded mandates being placed on them. 20 states are in serious trouble now with California leading the way. The other 30 will follow suite if any of the Cap and Trade bill is put into law.

The bill is full of giveaways to big business and the poor. The middleclass will be further depleted of funds as the "change" this Climate bill brings eats away at what little discretionary income they have left after paying additional taxes on everything energy related and that's everything! The need for this bill to pass was a lie. The EPA knows that global warming is a lie. A white lie maybe.

This must happen if Obama is to complete his plan to "remake" America. He's got to keep us broke. He has to have a crisis. Yes, he inherited a crisis but he and his Democratic cronies put the crisis in motion with targeted legislation to bring about the financial meltdown. They have, for all intents and purposes, had control of Congress and the Senate since 2006 while Barak Hussein Obama and Rahm Emanuel were U.S. Senators.

Obama's plans are so elegantly drawn that all of this can't just be a coincidence. The Democrats, with the help of some very smart, obscenely rich people, have been manipulating the financial markets to make sure Obama was elected. They have further depleted American capital by seizing the auto industry. With unemployment at or near 9% the plan is working even better than they thought it would. Free Markets are dieing.

Now with a veto proof Senate the pressure will be on every Democratic Senator to vote for the Cap and Trade bill and every other Obama initiative proposed or thought of. Al Frankin will be seated and then the end game really begins.

Signs of it are already showing up along America's southern border. The President wants National Guard
volunteers to go to the border, unarmed and unpaid, to assist in the Border Patrol's fight against the Mexican Drug Cartels. What would American's do if one of our unarmed troops was murdered by a Mexican Drug Runner? Wallah! An even more emotional crisis than the financial meltdown. Empathy, you know.
President Barack Obama could send up to 1,500 National Guard volunteers to the U.S.-Mexico border in an effort to reinforce an existing counter-drug strategy. Critics have already bashed the plan as they say the levels of violence along the border do not require of unarmed-unpaid volunteers, but of U.S. agencies involved in National Security.

Another clue to what's going on in the mind of this administration is happening in Texas NOW! According to a headline on the Drudge Report, Federal Agents Hunt for Guns, One House at a Time! Didn't Obama say he wasn't going to go after American's guns?

Of course this is an inflammatory headline but the Administration is showing it's true hand on gun control. It involves Amnesty too. It's all part of a $700 Billion dollar giveaway to the Mexican Government. The Mexicans want to enhance their fight against the Drug Cartels but also want funds to "protect immigrants". Just what we need, more illegals for ACORN to mine illegal votes from.

The need for Remaking America is a Damn Big Lie!

Really rich people are getting richer. Really big companies like GE, IBM will make trillions from Cap and Trade. Really big financial companies like A.I.G. and the Banks are making obscene profits without living up to their promise to loosen credit. Really Big Drug Cartels stand to make billions in extortion of corrupt Mexican Politicians. The American Taxpayers are being made powerless by the constant robbery of their wallets.

At some point in the future, we may find some of the very people that were made rich by this crisis are the very people who caused it. Whatever happened to ethics? Whatever happened to love of Country over love of self? Whatever happened to America?

545 vs 300,000,000

Hat Tip to the Grassroots in Nebraska Blog

This is the truest description of who is actually responsible for the current chaotic mess that exists in Washington D.C. and affects every American Citizen. This article was originally published on March 7th, 1985 under the title "The 545 People Responsible for America's Woes" and he has updated it as needed through the years...

545 PEOPLE
By Charlie Reese

Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them.

Have you ever wondered, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits,
WHY do we have deficits?

Have you ever wondered, if all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes,
WHY do we have inflation and high taxes?

You and I don't propose a federal budget. The president does.

You and I don't have the Constitutional authority to vote on appropriations. The House of Representatives does.

You and I don't write the tax code, Congress does.

You and I don't set fiscal policy, Congress does.

You and I don't control monetary policy, the Federal Reserve Bank does.

One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one president, and nine Supreme Court justices 545 human beings out of the 300 million are directly, legally, morally, and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country.

I excluded the members of the Federal Reserve Board because that problem was created by the Congress. In 1913, Congress delegated its Constitutional duty to provide a sound currency to a federally chartered, but private, central bank.

I excluded all the special interests and lobbyists for a sound reason. They have no legal authority. They have no ability to coerce a senator, a congressman, or a president to do one cotton-picking thing. I don't care if they offer a politician $1 million dollars in cash. The politician has the power to accept or reject it. No matter what the lobbyist promises, it is the legislator's responsibility to determine how he votes..

Those 545 human beings spend much of their energy convincing you that what they did is not their fault. They cooperate in this common con-job regardless of party.

What separates a politician from a normal human being is an excessive amount of gall. No normal human being would have the insolent gall of a Speaker, who stood up and criticized the President for creating deficits. The president can only propose a budget. He cannot force the Congress to accept it.

The Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land, gives sole responsibility to the House of Representatives for originating and approving appropriations and taxes. Who is the speaker of the House? Nancy Pelosi.

She is the leader of the majority party. She and fellow House members, not the president, can approve any budget they want. If the president vetoes it, they can pass over his veto if they agree to.

It seems inconceivable to me that a nation of 300 million can not replace 545 people who stand convicted -- by present facts -- of incompetence and irresponsibility. I can't think of a single domestic problem that is not traceable directly to those 545 people. When you fully grasp the plain truth that 545 people exercise the power of the federal government, then it must follow that what exists is what they want to exist.

If the tax code is unfair, it's because they want it unfair.

If the budget is in the red, it's because they want it in the red .

If the Army & Marines are in IRAQ , it's because they want them in IRAQ..

If they do not receive social security but are on an elite retirement plan not available to the people, it's because they want it that way.

There are no insoluble government problems.

Do not let these 545 people shift the blame to bureaucrats, whom they hire and whose jobs they can abolish; to lobbyists, whose gifts and advice they can reject; to regulators, to whom they give the power to regulate and from whom they can take this power. Above all, do not let them con you into the belief that there exists disembodied mystical forces like "the economy," "inflation,"
or "politics" that prevent them from doing what they take an oath to do.

Those 545 people, and they alone, are responsible.

They, and they alone, have the power.

They, and they alone, should be held accountable by the people who are their bosses.

Provided the voters have the gumption to manage their own employees.

We should vote all of them out of office and clean up their mess!
