Do YOU wish you read this?

It's the weekend and once again, the "global warming" is kicking in with a vengeance!  I don't have time to sit down, research a column and put fingers to computer keys.  But I do have time to sit down and do a "greatest hits rehash" of something I wrote almost a year ago.  The article was called "Irrational Exuberance..." and was meant to warn Grassroots Troopers about what was coming in our future.  Do me a favor and see how prescient the rantings and ravings of Mister Meat and Taters can sometimes be....
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Irrational Exuberance.....
May 8, 2008
 
I may be no Alan Greenspan but after the late 1990's, when the media sucked us into the "Potemkin Village" of fraudulent stock market values that collapsed cataclysmically in 2000, I sure know "irrational exuberance" when I see it!  Today, all I hear is good news about the Dow index crossing 13,000 again, positive GDP growth of 6/10th of a percent for the last quarter, a rising dollar and unemployment actually going down.  So why be so "gloom and doom" Mister Meat and Taters, could it be that you just need something to belly-ache about?
 
No, I have much better things to do with my valuable time than belly-ache.  I could give Condi a flea bath, clean the grout around my tub or even begin my spring cleaning regimen perhaps!  But all that can wait because the mission statement of this column cannot be ignored at a time when the threats to our nation's future are so grave.  "To inform, entertain and wake-up Dunderheaded Douchebags", otherwise known affectionately as "Double D's". :-)
 
If you look throughout history, nothing happens in a straight line.  By that, I mean that almost nothing increases or decreases at a constant rate or happens in "linear" fashion.  Look at stock market graphs or GDP outputs before recessions and even the Great Depression and you'll see that positive news happened right before or after the onset of absolute calamity.  Most recently, in the case of the Clinton stock market melt-down of 2000, the markets actually came roaring back for a time period which lulled people into thinking fundamental threats to the market were now gone.  These foolhardy types, myself included, actually dumped thousands of dollars into a market that was only ready to go down farther as the end of 2000 came near and the election of Bush v. Gore had to be decided in the US Supreme Court.  Most of these stocks never came back to those meteoric levels.
 
Don't feel sorry for me, I learned from that painful experience and won't make the same mistakes but I'm afraid others might.  Right now, we are seeing the effects of irrational exuberance just like we did in 2000.  We must remain cognizant of the FUNDAMENTAL problems our country faces and acknowledge that these problems are NOT going away anytime soon.  What are some of these problems, in true Meat and Taters fashion I'll make 'em quick.  After all, the next episode of "American Idol" is about to come on:
 
1)  the energy crisis - It is causing rampant inflation of as much as 11 percent, forcing people to allocate money only to bare necessities and could cause an implosion of the airline industry as well as the travel industry.  Additionally, this is spawning a seperate but related food crisis due to reasons articulated in my previous column "Cruel, cruel summer...".  Give it a read and you'll understand why food and energy prices are intrinsically related.  You'll also gain an insight as to why political decisions have created this crisis.  Nawwww, tell me that couldn't be possible!
 
2) global competition - Industrialized growth of other countries was inevitable and isn't the fault of President Bush, the Pope or Mickey Mouse.  It just "plain happened" but our politicians have helped it along by making stupid policies and then endorsing the status quo.  Some of these policies include trade agreements with China during the Clinton years, corporate tax laws and excessive regulations.
 
3) the threat of terrorism - After 9/11 we had no alternative but to wage a war on Islamo-Fascism or radical Islam as it is known by some.  This has placed a massive strain on our military men/women and their families and sucked precious dollars from our treasury.  Our government agencies made crucial mistakes, underestimated the difficulties and the rest of the world has not helped us with the fight.
 
4) illegal immigration - Little has been done about this growing problem for decades and despite the threat of terrorism spreading over the southern border after 9/11, nothing of true substance has been done. This is the fault of both parties and many presidents, even though Ronald Reagan tried to strike a compromise in the late 1980's.  Until someone has the political tamarity to act on it, we will be burdened in a massive way by the costs of people who are encouraged and assisted by their own government to carry out an "invasion" of our country.
 
Now, let's be honest with ourselves and grow up like big adults.  These 4 problems are not going away ANYTIME SOON!!!  I listed the energy crisis FIRST for a reason folks.  This is by far, the most daunting challenge we face because our nation's growth happened after the discovery of oil.  This country was almost nothing until oil was discovered in the 1850's while European countries had been around and enjoyed slow growth for hundreds of years previous to that point.  Along came fossil fuels and SHAZAM!  America exploded with unreal invention and innovation that carried us through the industrial revolution to the jet and space age in just 75 years.  Think about what kind of addiction to fossil fuel this country has because we were accustomed to it, almost from our nation's infancy.  Weaning us off of fossil fuels will take generations to accomplish and will be about as painful as having a root canal done without the benefit of novacaine.  OUCH!
 
So before you plunge in to "catch a falling knife" with today's stock market, think of what I've identified here and decide for yourself if things are or aren't so bad, after all.  Personally, I'm going to wait this one out and play it safe, like I should have in the late 90's.

Sorry if you missed all this profoundity last May folks but I was here, clacking away faithfully at the keyboard then as I am now.  Stay tuned in the future, save The Meat and Potatoes Blog to your favorites and be on the cutting edge of forward looking, intellectual thought as you see fit!

Scary times...wake up and learn.

If you or someone you care about doesn't understand the times in which we live, it's time to grow up and make an honest assessment.  The amount of people experiencing severe economic pain is increasing everyday and soon you will meet people who are feeling it.  I have met no less than 4 people who have lost their homes and several others who are out of work.
 
The time to prepare yourself is now and part of that preparation is to UNDERSTAND what has been happening in this country for many years.  Once you understand what happened, you can look to history and predict what may likely be coming next.  Remember that history is oftentimes the greatest teacher.  Now, I am by no means a sage but many of my calls over the past 3 years on this polemic pursuit have come to fruition.  Will I tell you which ones were right on target like a cruise missile?  Of course not!  My goal is to get you to go back into my voluminous archives and do some deep reading in your spare time.  So get to it, my fellow Grassroots Troopers but don't worry, I won't send you a bill.  Not yet at least.....haha.
 
There are several themes in this column (notice I don't use the word "blog" which is anathema to me) when it comes to our economy.  One of them is that government intervention in the private sector causes more problems than it solves.  I've gone over the influence of Clinton's band of snot-nosed children and how they created moral hazard with Fannie Mae home loans for anyone with a pulse.  Well, there's a man out there, much smarter than Mister Meat and Taters who explains it much better than I.  His name?  Peter Schiff and you must listen to this man if you want to survive financially in the times ahead or perhaps even come out on top.
 
Peter Schiff is an award winning author, economist, Wall Street analyst and stock broker.  Give his dissertation a listen and if you feel it's too full of "gloom and doom" then turn him off.  But you do so at your own economic peril for he knows what he's talking about and his analysis stands the test of historic examination.  Please, if you do anything today on this computer, view this Youtube video from about 5 minutes to 7 minutes on the time counter.  And by the way, to save you some time, fast forward in to 1:40 so you can skip the introduction which is nothing but a waste of time.  You see, I'm not here to waste your time folks, not even 100 seconds of it.  Thank me later!

Stock Market Imposion.....NICE!

As predicted here over and over, the stock market is imploding.  I recommended weeks ago that you folks go to youtube and watch the videos by Gerald Celente from Trends Research, Inc.  Celente has said that the DOW index could go back to levels not seen since the late 1980's.  He also has plenty to say about the next coming implosion:  commercial real estate.  Check him out.
 
I've said before that I welcome this economic pain for America.  No, not because I'm some sadist nut but I realize that pain wakes people up, plain and simple.  We live in a nation today of ignorant, disconnected, apathetic fools and nothing proves this more than the election of Barck Hussein Obama as president.  How fitting that the same fools who elected this MARXIST DEMAGOGUE will now pay the price for his policies.  Obama has made it clear that his target is the wealthiest in America and as the wealthy stop investing, stop creating jobs and stop spending money, the economy is in free-fall. 
 
This economic free-fall is being seen firsthand on Wall Street as investors flee in droves.  Keep in mind that the stock market leads actual economic results by six months or more.  Obama policies have done in just a few weeks what the events of 9/11 couldn't do, bring about an economic implosion of frightening proportions.  The voters got what they wanted and now they must pay the painful price as recession turns to depression and their jobs begin to disappear virtually overnight.  "Forgive them Father for they know not what they've done."

Advice to teenagers: Work for Government

Perhaps some of my readers know a young person out there who is trying to figure out the age-old question: "What color is my parachute?" and needs a little bit of guidance.  I remember my high school guidance counselor, (a great man by the way) telling me to pursue my dreams and reach for the stars, even if you fall short you'll still achieve success of cosmic proportions.  Well, I fell short of the stars and managed to burn up 25 years in the process.
 
I have valuable advice for the teenager in your life that will help him to avoid the pain some of us had to endure with career exploits.  Why not avoid the dislocations, the broken relationships, the decreases in pay, the losses of seniority and occasional unemployed periods that come with career progression?  Listen up folks because here comes the advice of a lifetime and best of all, it's free!
 
There's one color parachute that every teenager can relate to and that is a GREEN one!  You want to make "green" right out of the starting gate and make it for life, with a nice, fat pension and other assorted goodies to boot?  Then you go to work for GOVERNMENT!  That's right folks, you tell that teenager in your life:  "the heck with this pursuing your dreams and sacrficing BS!"  It's not worth it anymore in the land of "Lord Messiah Barack Obama" and his new 3.6 Trillion dollar budget.  We are a socialist country now and the voting populace is responsible for the "Democrat Crazy Train" (DCT) that will ramrod everything through Congress.  Thanks alot, you dunderheaded douchebags (Double D's) out there in states like Massachusetts and California.
 
Elections have consequences folks and the consequence of the 2006 and 2008 elections is this:  Democrats control EVERYTHING with  marjorities large enough to transform our society.  Go back and read my archives over the past 3 years on Town Hall and on Myspace.  I've been warning of this ad nauseum, one article in particular "Liberalism:  the philosophy of the STUPID....for most", made this point:
 
"The counter-culturalists inside our own borders will stop at nothing to bring about a radical and total restructuring of this country that will make you look back someday and say 'what the hell happened?'  In some cases, the restructuring has already begun, let's work together to stop it DEAD in its tracks so that all of us may benefit in the long-term."
 
So now, as we witness passage of an 800 Billion package of pay-offs to Democrat buddies, socialized medicine for children coming from families making up to $83,000 a year, a 410 Billion dollar omnibus appropriations bill loaded with 9,000 pork-barrel projects and lastly, a 3.6 Trillion dollar budget which creates over a million new government positions, I ask you this question.........
 
Where is the opporunity for young people in Barack Obama's "New American Order"?  Is it in the private sector with the rest of us in the "new slavery class" who must fund the government machine while working for 50 years without any retirement possibility?  No way.  The opportunity of the 21st century is found in working for the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.  Tell that to the teenage in your life.  And while you're at it, would you also tell that teenager to be nice to any gray-haired, older men who happen to work for them in the same facility?
 
I want to leave my options open for the future.

I thought slavery was over....

As I watched "Dumbo the Puppet" deliver his cute little address to Congress and Nancy Pelosi flash one smug grin after another, I came upon a conclusion folks.  If you work in the private sector (as I do) you are a member of the "slavery class" in America.  In Marxist speak, we are the proletariat, the "worker bees" who exist for one solitary reason:  to pay for those in the public sector (i.e. government).
 
The next time you bump into someone who works in the public sector, ask them if they get a pension.  Ask them if they get health and dental insurance in their retirement years, then ask what age they will take retirement.  You'll be infuriated deep down to know that alot of these government workers are retiring in their early to mid 50's with a lifetime salary and benefits package that will make you drool.
 
I don't know about you but the word retirement never passes through my lips for a singular reason, I have none.  I will never retire and have to likely work until the day I die.  Social IN-Security will go bankrupt long before someone born in the 1960's can collect benefits and medicare will go insolvent even before that.  Most of us born in the wake of the baby-boomers will awaken to a new reality in America and that is a lifetime without the ability to retire.
 
We are the new "slavery class" and a government growing out of control with millions of "fat cat" public sector employees is the reason.  I want you to think about that each time Nancy Pelosi flashes those pearly whites!

Stock Market Free-Fall: Here's why...

The stock market is in free-fall folks and it was predicted right here by Mister Meat and Taters.  I said that once the baby boomers lost faith in this market, it would make stock charts look like the path of the Titanic.  Keep in mind that most baby boomers are looking at the prospect of retirement very soon and got into the stock market decades ago when the DOW index was say, a 1,000 points or less!
 
They've truly lost faith in this country's future and the health of their investments.  You can thank liberal Democrats such as Barney Frank, the Clintons and President Obama for that!  As baby boomers take their still sizable profits, look for the market to fall even more.
 
Where she stops, nobody knows......

Bill Clinton: Not JUST "the Father of 9/11" anymore!

Loyal Grassroots Troopers know that when it comes to Bill Clinton, the worst president in U.S. history, I'm more than happy to point out his many failures.  The biggest failure of course, was in the foreign policy arena and fighting terrorism.  His cowardice and lack of vision led us directly to the events of 9/11 and nobody can argue otherwise unless they're a clueless buffoon and live on "cloud nine".
 
But now we have another name for Bill Clinton besides "the Father of 9/11" as he is known here.  It seems that there is now irrefutable proof that the Clinton administration is responsible for the mortgage meltdown (not to be confused with a Bill Clinton meltdown which is much more cataclysmic, just ask Chris Wallace).  I am going to link you to a NY Times article from September 30th 1999 which explains how President Bill "the Father of the mortgage meltdown" Clinton tore down the lending requirements at Fannie Mae and gave home loans to everyone with a pulse.  Just read the article folks and soak in history that you will NOT hear from the mainstream media.
 
This evidence is important as it places blame where it needs to be placed, on those who are at the root cause of our economic woes.  The next time you hear some dunderheaded douchebag (most likely a Democrat voter) shooting his or her mouth off about President Bush and how this whole mess is his fault, I hope you'll take them to task.  Tell them to google the article you are about to witness:
 
 
Now get out there Grassroots Troopers and spread the truth.  Bill Clinton:  he's not just "the Father of 9/11" anymore.  :-)~

The Global Warming is back!

The highly acclaimed and much sought after "global warming" is back folks.  This time with all the force and fury of a Bill Clinton appearance at a female intern convention! :-)~  I'm running around here like a chicken with my head cut-off as I turn to "green energy" solutions for drying my clothes (too cheap to turn on the dryer), open up all the windows in the house and pull out a Corvette named "Roxanne" for a fresh wash and coat of McGuire's NXT Generation Tech Wax.  Mmmmmmm....
 
After all that hard work, it will be time to take a well deserved cruise to my super secret hideaway on Norris Lake for a trek to the "eagle's perch" where the sunsets are beyond compare.  FDR-era socialism may have bankrupted the nation, but I believe Norris Lake was the one good thing to come out of it all!  :-)
 
As far as the "global warming" goes, I believe it was VP Dick Cheney who said it best:  "I'm starting to think that Al Gore is right about all this global warming, or as I like to call it......SPRING!"  haha

Definition of "Chutzpah"

Basically, the word "chutzpah" means you've got nerve, gall or gonads as big as boulders.  But this morning, I realized there's a much better definition of the word and I see fit to share it with you, my loyal Grassroots Troopers: 
 
Chutzpah - when you destroy an economy by giving out bad home loans and send fuel prices to the stratosphere, then rush in and use the lousy economy (you just destroyed) as an excuse to turn our country into a socialistic monstrosity of frightening proportions!
 
Today's Democrat party is the walking, talking, breathing epitome of chutzpah folks.  When you look at Democrat fanaticism with regard to "green" energy, global warming and other hocus pocus poppycock, then view their solid resistance to nuclear power, drilling for oil and building more refineries, the conclusion is inescapable.  Democrats DESTROYED THE ECONOMY that we all worked so hard to build back up after the horrific events of 9/11, so they could rebuild it in the spirit of Mister Socialism himself, Franklin D. Roosevelt!
 
Then they try to blame this entire conflagration on policies of George W. Bush, who spent 8 years cleaning up after Mister Perjury.  What was the one Clinton-era disaster that Bush tried to clean up but his efforts were blocked?  Answer:  the Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac fueled housing debacle where home loans were given to anyone and everyone with a pulse.  Mister Perjury put his two henchmen in charge of these "GSE's" (Jamie Gorelick and Franklin Raines) and they were told to write home loans for anyone covered under that anachronistic legislation known as "affirmative action".  Which reminds me of a "Funny Democrat Slogan" folks...ya ready? ;-)
 
"We believe in affirmative action for everything, even giving out home loans."
 
So, in summary Democrats set our country's "economic house" on fire, then rush in as the fire department to save the day.  After the fire is out, they come back as a general contractor to build a "prison of socialism" where the house once stood in freedom.  If that isn't chutzpah folks, I don't know what is???  :-)~
 
Quiz question for Meat and Potatoes Loyalists:  When Bush tried to reign in Fannie Mae and stop the crazy loans on steroids, who kept the crazy train going full speed ahead until disaster struck and we all got screwed?

A word or two about "Icing"

No, I'm not talking about "icing" on a cake or "icing" a hockey puck behind the opponent's net.  This time I'm taking a departure from politics into my area of expertise and that is flying airplanes.  What a relief you think to yourself, Mister Meat and Taters is actually going to discuss something where he just might know what he's talking about! :-)~
 
"Icing" on an aircraft can be deadly and every few years, we are taught that lesson.  A flying aircraft is a delicate balance of several different factors and when Mother Nature throws enough ice on one to cool 20 kegs of beer, things get shaky, scary and even downright dangerous.  Icing not only changes the shape of lifting surfaces on the aircraft (which are shaped precisely mind you) but it increases the weight and drag of an aircraft as well.  There's no telling what kind of havoc can break loose when an aircraft gets into what I call a "death cloud" and starts to load up with ice so quickly that mere seconds of delay may spell disaster.
 
I've flown thousands of hours over the skies of upstate NY and hundreds of hours in hard instrument (IMC) conditions between the surface and 11,000 feet where icing is most prevalent.  I flew into places such as Potsdam, Watertown, Utica, Elmira and of course Buffalo.  In 14,000 hours of flight time, I have found the weather in this area to be the most challenging in the country.  My travels took me through all sorts of wild and wooly wintertime weather with about 97% of it being safely flyable.  But every once in awhile, a pilot runs into a situation that is extraordinary and the challenge is to recognize when it exists.
 
When in icing conditions, I've always taught my co-pilots that the best indication of icing is the wingtip strobe lights.  When those suckers start flashing really bright, it means your cloud is very thick, with a high liquid vapor content and much more conducive to forming ice on an aircraft.  The strobelight flashes will be bright enough to make you think it is summertime and thunderstorms are afoot.  But then, once in a blue moon, the strobe lights will get even brighter and that is a harbinger of doom looming ahead.
 
I've only seen it 4 or 5 times in my 17 year career but the cloud will be so thick that the strobe lights will appear as if they are mounted on the nose of the aircraft.  The area around the aircraft will almost look surreal and you might think you're traveling in H.G. Wells' time machine, about to make a jump back to the previous century.  (God knows how I'd love to....)  The flashes will be so bright that a pilot will want to reach into his flightbag and get out his sunglasses.  I'm not kidding.
 
This is the environment that a pilot needs to recognize as "abbie-normal" and decide in seconds to either climb, descend (if possible) or just keep the speed up and get the heck out of dodge.  The brave may get the glory but in aviation, the cowards live longer!

The Beginning of the End.....Part II

The passing of President Obama's so-called "stimulus package" marks another stage in the slow yet steady demise for America.  The debt from this package will amount to over a TRILLION dollars and will take generations to pay off.  When you consider that our current debt stands at approximately TEN TRILLION dollars, racking up another trillion on a single, solitary legislative gamble is truly unwise.
 
I wrote almost a month ago how the election of Obama marks a continuation of America's demise that began under Bill Clinton and was stymied only briefly during the tenure of President Bush.  After this almost criminal legislative activity by Democrat majorities in the U.S. House and Senate, which rammed a spending package through Congress against the WILL OF THE PEOPLE, I am convinced that our end is indeed approaching.  The Chinese government is laughing at us this week as their finance minister said "We hate you guys" and said unequivocally that they WILL NOT buy any more of our debt.  The Chinese have realized what many of us out here in flyover country have realized as far back as several years ago (when I took my money out of the stock market).
 
America is too indebted at this point to ever climb out of debt, plain and simple.  The Democrat party as far back as 1933, created too many big government programs and then expanded these programs in ensuing years to gain voters.  The result is a financial house of cards which is collapsing around us and WILL CONTINE TO COLLAPSE.  According to Gerald Celente at Trends Research, we will see a continuation of this collapse in 2009 with the commercial real estate sector.  Companies such as Sbarro, Blockbuster and Krispy Kreme will vacate store fronts and add to vacancies created by bankruptcies at KB Toys, Linens and Things, Circuit City and Sharper Image.
 
The handwriting is on the wall folks:  Years of BIG government control are taking their toll and nothing can stop it at this point.  Like a nuclear reactor in meltdown mode, even with all the control rods placed back in the reactor the reaction cannot be controlled.  Timothy Geithner doesn't know what to do, if you watched him make a fool out of himself this week you know what I'm talking about.  The final result of untold TRILLIONS IN FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DEBT will necessitate an absolute "redo from start" for this economy.
 
What do you do when your computer gets totally screwed up?  What does an airport do when thunderstorms wreak havoc and screw up all the flights to the point where they're 3 hours behind schedule?  Answer:  YOU START OVER FROM SCRATCH!  In similar fashion, the only solution someday (who knows when) will be to redefine our currency and possibly go back on the gold standard.  The dollars you have in your pocket at this very moment will become WORTHLESS as will every dollar in your bank account and investments.  Programs like social security and medicare will have to be scrapped as they will require TRILLIONS of dollars to fund (and we don't have them).
 
Make no mistake about it, this is the beginning of financial armageddon for America and if you don't believe me, consider this:  Our federal reserve is printing money at the rate of billions per month and the majority of Obama's stimulus package will be printed money because we cannot get foreign countries to buy all that much of our debt.  Right now people are hoarding money like squirrels hoarding acorns before a winter without global warming. Billions of dollars are sitting scared on the sidelines and we are going to inject another 800 billion of printed money?  This is lunacy!  The inflation that will result from this decision will be devastating and create a perfect storm of cataclysmic levels when you factor in all the bankrupt, Democrat-created, BIG government programs I listed earlier.
 
Grab your guns, grab your gold and hang on for the ride because it's going to get really ugly.

Bill Clinton says....

Let's all play a game we played as children but with a new twist folks.  You remember "Simon says.." where you respond to a variety of commands until a tricky game leader tries to catch you at your most unobservant moment?  Well this game is a variation on a theme and is called "Bill Clinton says....."  It's a fun game which takes 8 years, plenty of cowardice, lots of backpeddling and best of all, lying to the American people for 6 months.  A contestant wins the game if they can make America the laughing stock of the world, pay out millions to women who are sexually harrassed and destroy a couple of tall buildings all at the same time.  BONUS points are given if they can get people to jump from the buildings to escape a slow demise by smoke and fire.
 
This week Bill Clinton again violated the unspoken oath of former presidents to not make headlines by opening his big, fat trap.  In true disingenous fashion, our impeached former president (known by Meat and Potatoes Loyalists as Mister Perjury) saw fit to opine on the subject of talk radio.  Now folks, I warned you almost a year ago about a DemocRAT plan to shut down conservative talk radio with the reinstatement of the so-called "Fairness Doctrine".  This revelation was made clear by Diane Feinstein (Sen. of CA) when she appeared on Fox News Sunday w/ Chris Wallace.  Just google those details to see the exact quote and video of her appearance. 
 
The appearance of Slick Willie (AKA The Father of 9/11) this week makes it all too clear that the leftists in this country who have seized the DemocRAT party over several decades, are planning a final assault to squash dissent from their opponents.  I'll tell you this folks, the leftists in this country must be extremely desperate when they have to roll-out an ADMITTED PERJURER to make their case!  This is such a knee-slapper that you'd expect to see it on an upcoming episode of Saturday Night Live.  But wait, what am I thinking?  They only bash conservatives on that show so don't hold your breath waiting to see it happen.
 
Simply put, who gives a damn what "Bill Clinton says...."?  If you want to be a loser and listen to that walking pile of horse manure then go right ahead but for anyone of cognitive ability, what comes out of his "cigar smoking sewer pipe" isn't worth buttkus!  "Bill Clinton says..." that talk radio is one sided?  Big deal Mister Perjury, the rest of the media such as the "Clinton News Network" is one sided too, I don't hear you whining and moaning about them.  "Bill Clinton says...." that big money backs talk radio.  Oh really?  Like the "big money" that a hard working, middle class person like myself spends on the advertisers who support Rush Limbaugh's radio show.  I would hardly classify the money that myself and millions of other listeners spend as "big money" unless you take it in its totality.
 
Folks let's face it:  Bill Clinton is a coward, a disgrace, a buffoon and best of all a liar.  If "Bill Clinton says...." jump from a tall building, are you going to do it?  You just might have to if Obama keeps taking pages out of the "Father of 9/11's" handbook when it comes to fighting terrorists as a law enforcement issue.  Now, chew on that!

Obama's 1st Presser: Some points.

Folks, I was a good little American citizen last night as I sat down and watched our president with awe.  He commanded legions of reporters as if he was Patton about to lead his troops into the Ardennes Forest.  My what a grandiose Commander-in-Chief, indeed.
 
But there were just a few glitches in the program last night and I feel it's my duty to bring them to YOUR attention.  If you missed last night's "Presser" that's fine but you really need to search out the video on the web and see this stuff for yourself.  Here we go with a rundown of myth vs. reality on a few of President "Dumbo the Puppet's" claims last night.  And when I say "myth" folks, I could just as easily use the word "LIE" just like with Mister Perjury himself, William Jefferson Clinton.
 
Myth 1:  Bush tax cuts caused this financial crisis
Reality:  This financial crisis was caused by a mortgage crisis which was compounded by fuel costs that went up massively over a very short period of time.  These two calamaties were caused over decades of neglect and political pandering.  The mortgage crisis actually began with the formation of government lending agencies under FDR in 1938.  Our energy debacle began with Carter administration missteps 30 years ago and are absolutely due to Democrat obstruction on nuclear power, drilling (offshore and in ANWR) and building refineries.
 
Myth 2:  Republicans only want tax cuts to solve an economic crisis.
Reality:  Republicans are ON THE RECORD saying that they want a 50/50 mix of government spending and tax cuts.  The question is WHAT KIND OF SPENDING.  Republicans are totally in support of spending money on infrastructure projects that are "shovel ready" so long as these projects can be executed efficiently with proper oversight.  Republicans do not want this stimulus to turn into an orgy with cash being handed out in burlap sacks and being brought into darkened rooms to be handed out to the Democrat power base.
 
Myth 3:  Tax cuts total 275 billion dollars.
Reality:  The Obama administration is lying when they use the word tax cuts.  Tax cuts mean that you pass LESS taxes but this would imply that you pay taxes in the first place, right?  This stimulus has billions going to people who haven't paid taxes in YEARS thus these so-called tax cuts are in all reality.......WELFARE PAYMENTS.
 
Myth 4:  There is no "pork" in this bill.
Reality:  This bill is more full of pork than any bill passed during the Bush tenure.  Obama is parsing words in the definition of pork when he makes his claim because the classical definition requires the pork project to be requested by a Congressional member.  In the case of this Obama PORKULUS package, Nancy Pelosi and her hench-people put in the pork based on what they knew Congress would find appealing and would result in plenty of votes.  Whether it's requested by the member or put in by Speaker Pelosi, PORK IS PORK!
 
NOW THE BIGGEST MYTH.....pay attention please folks because this one is important!!!
 
Myth 5:  Japan did nothing about an economic calamity in the 1990's and suffered through a "Lost Decade" of growth.
Reality:  Japan did EXACTLY what we are about to do folks!  They authored multiple porkulus packages just like ours.  This massive government spending didn't work, caused massive deficits and resulted in excruciating inflation.  We better not do this or we're screwed!

Sen. Arlen "Spectacle", a Repussican for certain

I feel sorry for the good, conservative folks of Pennsylvania.  Not only are they burdened with 2 huge cities infested with liberal schmucks, they have the biggest horse's arse of a Senator in the U.S. Senate.  As a former resident of Massachusetts, I know all about having a POS in the Senate whom you'd like to get rid of but can't because voters are too disconnected, too ignorant or just downright stupid to do so!  The only alternative is to pack up and move which is just what I did for a variety of reasons and politics was right up there on the list.
 
Sen. Arlen Specter is a "spectacle" of idiocy, immaturity and lousy judgement.  He is the new "Lincoln Chaffee" of the Republican party and he must be gotten rid of as soon as possible.  Do yourself a favor and listen to the interview of this douchebag on today's Sean Hannity Show.  This guy could give a teenage punk a good run for his money when it comes to quibbling, sea lawyering and passing the buck on responsibility.  Ever wonder who taught Bill Clinton to twist words and debate the meaning of the word "is"?  Well I'm willing to put money on the possibility that ole "Spectacle" was giving Slick Willie some coaching behind the scenes.  What a piece of excrement this "sad sack" truly is....as I said in the beginning, I feel sorry for you Keystone Staters.  There isn't much you can do except pack up and move!

Stop the "Stimulus package" INSANITY!

I'm sick of hearing about "stimulus" from President Obama.  He says stimulus is achieved by the spending of money but correct me if I'm wrong Mister President, wasn't it SPENDING MONEY that got us into this predicament in the first place?  Duh!  People spent money they didn't have on things they truly didn't need such as 3,000 square foot homes in overpriced neighborhoods.  Kind of like this stimulus package with spending on sod, condoms, fish ponds, neon signs and frisbee golf courses!  Think I'm kidding?  Look it up.
 
President Obama says his stimulus package is a "Jobs Bill" but what kind of jobs will be created?  Will they be high paying jobs in the private sector which solve problems of the future like energy production and transportation?  No, these jobs will be in the public sector or as I like to say, the "nobody really cares" sector with all the trappings of a federal position like pensions we cannot afford to pay.
 
If America is a capitalistic, free-market economy (or at least it used to be...), how is it made stronger by making government bigger?  Will someone please explain that confusing little tidbit to me.  Common sense would dictate that we adopt solutions which strengthen private sector entrepeneurship and create jobs in the free market.  Maybe I'm just crazy but that is the view through these two eyes.
 
We adopt this Obama "stimulus package" and we just might stimulate ourselves right out of world superpower status.
