Social Security is next to become a true Welfare Program

Need senior's support for your atrocious healthcare overhaul? Want more people dependent on the government? Want to secure the democrat party's power for years to come by buying votes through a massive expansion of government hand-outs? How about giving seniors $250 checks for "increased cost of living expenses" (nevermind that the recession has done away with these alleged increases but you're a democrat. facts don't matter.) Oh, and the the House Republicans should be ashamed for pandering and going along with this.

From The Heritage foundation:
Since Social Security recipients will get no cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) next year, President Obama wants to give each of them $250, a move supported in principle by the Republican House and Senate leadership. However, this move is not only unjustified; it makes a fundamental change to Social Security's structure and starts the process of converting the program from an earned benefit funded by a worker's own contributions to a welfare program.

The Free Market is Non-Sense

Here's Obama's Manufacturing Czar. But...we can't judge a man by the company he keeps...or the people he hires to carry out policies. (Must watch in full screen mode).

The White House said...

...that if we passed the $787 billion stimulus that by september this year unemployment would be below 7.6% and that if we didn't pass the stimulus unemployment would reach 9.5%. Well, guess what...the White House, the government, the Experts, the bureaucrats were wrong.

There are your numbers Prez Bo. But don't worry, Mr President because you have professional spin doctors and a populace of myrmidons who will hang on your every word (cause if they don't, they're racists) See, politicians like the President know that if the economy improves they can take credit for it by citing the stimulus and if it doesn't improve, well, then they can say that the stimulus wasn't big enough and that another is needed...wait, they've already started discussing it. Yes, my friends (drum-roll, please) a Second Stimulus! So, you see they can't lose. They can spin it however they like and all the looters out there - statists, welfare recipients and the Obama-is-so-awesome-cause-he's-so,- well- awesome crowd - will lap the spin right up.

But the facts are that they were wrong about the first stimulus and this next one will be no different! And healthcare and the costs associated with it? Don't worry everyone, those numbers are solid.

Yeah, right.

Even a Blind Squirrel Finds a Nut Every Now and Again...

Al Franken, a man who I never thought I would agree with on anything - ANYTHING! - managed to surprise me. Kudo's Al. Now, if you wouldn't mind, read the 1st and 2nd amendments as well as Article 1 Section 8, then we might could sit down and have a discussion.

School Kids Taught to Praise Obama

I know, we are just a bunch of over-zealous paranoid, fascist, racist right-wingers so just ignore these videos...it's cool.

Taking Over Everything

I know we aren't supposed to say or suggest that the President is "taking over" the economy, i.e. regulating or nationalizing sectors of our economy, but this piece from David Boaz of the Cato Institute seems to lend credence to our charge. Please, read on...

“My critics say that I’m taking over every sector of the economy,” President Obama sighed to George Stephanopoulos during his Sunday media blitz.

Not every sector. Just

• health care
• energy
• local schools
• banks
• insurance companies
• automobile companies
• compensation at financial firms
• newspapers
• the internet
