Barack Obama’s public approval ratings are plummeting through the floor.
His opponents are crowing about how Obama is now officially not as bad as George W. Bush was.
But let’s call it for what this really means…
All this seriously demonstrates, unequivocally, is that twice in a row we have had Presidents of the United States who were/are so bad that they suck donkeys balls to no end....
As I write this, Drudge Report has a red-colored link to a story about Governor Rick Perry of Texas vowing that he would assert that state’s Tenth Amendment rights if he had to in order to oppose President Obama’s plans to nationalize health care.
Hey, I’m all for that. I think every state should consider using that Tenth Amendment. But does Governor Perry seriously oppose Obama’s mad medical plot on account of principle?
Because as recently as two and a half years ago Perry was very much for government-mandated medicine! It was in February of 2007 that he issued an executive order mandating that all girls entering the sixth grade be vaccinated against cervical cancer. The only vaccine available, Gardasil, is manufactured by Merck & Co.
And it soon turned out that Perry was more or less in Merck & Co.’s pocket, having received $6000 from the corporation’s political ...
…and Obama is doing plenty of dumb things since taking office just six months ago.
I’m talking about how President Obama brought up the arrest of his friend and Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. during his press conference last night, denouncing the police involved in the matter as acting “stupidly”.
Here’s what was wrong with that: in doing so, Obama has now compromised his moral authority as President of the United States… and particularly when it is seen that he did so on behalf of his own personal and private interests. Obama has also – and in a more egregious fashion than any President in perhaps living memory – used his public office to level an accusation beyond the scope afforded him by the Constitution. And in doing that, Obama has now involved the Presidency in what should have remained a matter for the local community.
(Incidentally, Bill ...
Years ago when I was a Cub Scout, there was a cartoon in Boys Life showing a kid, obviously over-zealous with carpentry tools, telling his dog that he was there to give him a new doghouse. It was a parable about working with plans (which the lad decided for whatever reason that he didn’t need). In the first panel after the kid announces his intentions, the dog thinks “Oh no, spare me this!”
That was the first thing that popped into mind this morning when I read that President Obama might push through a vote on national “health care reform”, that it’s going to cost at least $1.5 TRILLION and to fund it Congress is looking at a 5.4 percent additional tax on the richest Americans.
Much like the dog in that cartoon: “Dear God, PLEASE spare us this!”
Lemme tell you what is going to happen if ...
Meet Brian Deese.
This is who President Obama has put in charge of disassembling General Motors.
He’s 31 years old.
He’s “a not-quite graduate of Yale Law School”.
He had never visited an automobile plant until he got tapped by the Obama Administration.
Again, this is the guy that President Barack Obama has put in charge of the GM bankruptcy.
Does Mr. Deese know anything about the automotive industry? I mean, if he’s gonna be overhauling one of the largest manufacturing companies in American history, he should have some real-world experience in management or engineering or something… right?
(Let me put it another way: What the HELL does Obama think he’s doing?!?)
Mash down here for the rest of the story of Mr. Deese, that in a saner age would have never happened…...
You know what I find most ironic about this essay?
...It must be said, that like the breaking of a great dam, the American decent into Marxism is happening with breath taking speed, against the back drop of a passive, hapless sheeple, excuse me dear reader, I meant people.

First, the population was dumbed down through a politicized and substandard education system based on pop culture, rather then the classics. Americans know more about their favorite TV dramas then the drama in DC that directly affects their lives. They care more for their “right” to choke down a McDonalds burger or a BurgerKing burger than for their constitutional rights. Then they turn around and lecture us about our rights and about our “democracy”. Pride blind the foolish.
Then their faith in God was destroyed, until their churches, all tens of thousands of different “branches and denominations” were for the
A high-tech, glorified pissing match between the Democrats and Republicans.
Some people have written to me asking why I’m not doing much political commentary anymore. To be honest: it’s become a very boring thing to me. I’d rather devote time to considering and then articulating about real ideas, not empty ideology.
And maybe also it’s because I cannot help but on some level have already written of America as a lost cause, if she must be dependent upon people like Dick Cheney and Barack Obama and Rush Limbaugh and Nancy Pelosi.
These people and many more have completely forgotten what it means to serve others. They actually believe that because something so eternally vapid as their political parties have given them a measure of power, that it means that God Himself has somehow anointed them over all others.
I’m not here to cheer on any among the morally ...
Found this political cartoon and couldn’t resist posting it here…

What the hell has become of America over the past few days?

NANNY STATE: GOVERNMENT WEBSITE TO WARN OF SADNESS/CRYING OVER ECONOMY
Mon Mar 30 2009 18:43:56 ET
The U.S. government is set to offer an online emotional rescue kit!
“Getting Through Tough Economic Times” will launch Tuesday with a media push across all platforms. The site is meant to help people identify health concerns related to financial worries.
The feds will warn of depression, suicidal thinking and other serious mental illnesses. It will raise warning flags for: Persistent sadness/crying; Excessive anxiety; Lack of sleep/constant fatigue; Excessive irritability/anger.
The guide will be available starting at midnight at http://www.samhsa.gov/economy.

Is anyone else finding this order of words to be a little less than encouraging?
“The feds will warn of depression…”
“The feds will warn of depression…”
“THE FEDS WILL WARN OF DEPRESSION…“
Barack ...
The words I never, ever thought I’d hear a President of the United States tell the country…
“Your warranty will be safe. In fact, it will be safer than it’s ever been, because starting today, the United States government will stand behind your warranty.”
And you thought “womb to the tomb” policies were bad. Now the federal government has got your car covered bumper to bumper.
And Obama’s firing the head of General Motors apparently didn’t take well with the markets today: they were down all over, including the Dow at -254 points.
