Hey, Johnny

Your video reminded me of this —

Anti-Obama sign carried by a demonstrator
at a rally on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.

Anyone else think it’s funny that Obama has been speaking out against super pacs for over a year yet he is encouraging his financial backers to give as much as they can to a super pac one of his administration officials created? Or, that he trumpeted 8.3% unemployment figures but deceitfully left of the part about 1.2 million people no longer looking for jobs and the fact that unemployment under bush was 5.6%. Oh one more thing I thought was funny, he’s been blasting bush for having 500billion budget deficits yet he has had trillion dollar deficits for 4 years in a row now. (no I’m not a fan of bush either).

Does anyone have some pro Obama news they’d like to share?

Hello, Wade

I’m just finishing up a post on the subject of phony unemployment numbers. I’ll post it in a few minutes.

I think you will agree with it.

Here’s a bunch of numbers that will make your eyes glaze over (unless you’re a statistician working in the basement of some government agency).

Before your eyes go completely shut, focus on the yellow highlighted portion of this table — where you will find the only honest, reliable and usable information in the whole pile —

Now you know — during the one-month period December 2011 to January 2012, the number of people actually employed in the civilian workforce of this country declined by 737,000 (from 140,681,000 to 139,944,000).

The rest of that table contains statistical wizardry intended to make the results fit the Obama template. Ignore it. Especially, ignore the reported unemployment rate.

Let’s go back to the facts. — Facts, as Ronald Reagan said, are stubborn things.

Every rational person over the age of 12 knows that the population of the United States is increasing, relentlessly, day by day, month by month — and it increased in the one-month period December 2011 to January 2012, just as it has every month for over 200 years.

In fact, the U.S.Census Bureau says that currently the United States population is increasing by one person (net) every 15 seconds. Do the math, and you will calculate that from December to January the population of the United States increased by 178,560 persons.

The population grew, but the number of people working declined. Therefore, the employment rate declined. So, what actually happened to the unemployment rate?

From December 2011 to January 2012,
total unemployment and the unemployment rate
in the United States increased.

Now, compare these simple, “stubborn” facts to the propaganda you were fed on NFP Friday.

But see Clint, it’s not the “facts”, it’s the “presentation”.

We have an Enron government. They know all the accounting tricks in the world to paint a nice rosy smile on an economy that is rotting to the core.

And while we’re at this, I don’t like Obama. I didn’t like McCain either. But I don’t think a president can do much of anything. Congress, and the house run this country for the most part. They write the bills, they cast the votes, and they don’t do what they are supposed to, which is vote the way the majority of the constituents in their respective districts wish.

Years of pork barrel politics that set up useless programs have led to an ENORMOUS amounts of government waste. We are still subsidizing sheep farmers for wool because of a program written for WWI.

We subsidize the oil companies, while they rip off the consumers every day. We reward utilities companies with the rights to monopolies in their prospective districts, and they reward the customers with “smart meters” that will soon cause the average power bill to skyrocket. Ever heard of “super peak” utility hours? Yup, another way to line the pockets.

Meanwhile, they spout the want for green or renewable energy, but hog tie anyone that tries to get off the grid with a meaningless sets of regulations, rules, and permit fees that test the ability of ANYONE’s sanity to try to follow.

We are being regulated, charged, metered, taxed, permitted, organized, classified, and governed from cradle to grave, all to feed an ever bloating wasteland of bureaucrats.

Just remember, the more laws they make, the closer to anarchy we are.

Jay, I have to disagree with one thing that you said.

As we’ve seen over the past three years, a committed Marxist, like Obama, can certainly do a lot of [I]damage.[/I] It remains to be seen whether a president who is a [I]committed Constitutional conservative[/I] can begin to repair that damage.

I completely agree with the rest of your comments.

We face a bigger problem than [I]just[/I] Obama. We face the problem of an entire Ruling Class of arrogant, “entitled”, political elites, who — as you correctly point out — don’t give a damn what the people of this country want.

This Ruling Class is like a snake that has wrapped itself around our economy and our society, and is squeezing the life out of us. But, Obama is the head of this snake. And until we cut the head off the snake, we have no chance of uncoiling it and escaping its strangle-hold.

I see only three possible paths for this country, and, therefore, only three choices for each citizen:

• We can give up and say that we’ll never be able to take back our country. I reject that choice.

• We can resort to armed insurrection against this government. I’m not ready to consider that alternative, yet.

• Or we can use every legal, democratic means at our disposal to overthrow the Ruling Class and replace them with honest, conservative men and women who will serve this country as [I]representatives of the people.[/I] This is the path that I choose, and I hope that a majority of Americans will choose it, as well.

Do you see a genuine mainstream political conservative that actually has a shot at winning the nomination in the current crop?

Other than Ron Paul, I don’t. And the problem with Ron is, he is discredited as much by the party he’s in as he is by the dems. So no real shot at winning anything.

And you are spot on with the rest of the post.

I still wonder why no one has been indicted over the housing crisis…

Yes. Rick Santorum.

Taking your specifications, one at a time:

• [B]genuine[/B] — [I]yes[/I]

• [B]mainstream[/B] — not sure how to measure that;

if “mainstream” means favored by the mainstream Republican “establishment”, then the answer is [I]no;[/I]

if you’re referring to mainstream American values, then the answer is [I]yes[/I] on Constitutional matters, but on social issues he is clearly to the right of mainstream America.

• [B]political conservative[/B] — without question

• [B]has a shot at winning the nomination[/B] — absolutely;

his recent caucus wins are not a fluke, in my opinion;

if he follows those up with primary wins, where convention delegates are up for grabs, then he could run away with this thing.

I agree that Ron Paul has no chance of winning the nomination. Apparently, he’s in this primary to gather enough delegates to be a voice that has to be listened to at the convention. He wants to influence the party platform. I don’t think he has any illusions about being the Republican nominee.

LMAO I can’t stand Rick Santorum. He comes off as a smarmy know-it-all.

I don’t think he has enough brains to be president of his daughter’s PTA, let alone govern the country.
And I’m afraid he’d be stupid enough to get pressured into a rather pointless war with Iran that could jeopardize what little peace is left in the rest of the mideast. Ron’s got that part totally right. We don’t need another damned war. War with oil bearing countries only benefit oil companies.

To be fair, I can’t take any Mitt, or Newt either.
Since Huntsman bailed, Ron’s my man. I just wish as the current head of the Financial Services Subcomittee, he would use his time dragging the Bernanke, and cronies through an endless barrage of torturous questioning.

He’s in the perfect spot to put those guys in a miserable public light, but not doing it.

Probably because many of his sponsors’d go ballistic if he did.

O.

I would love to see America back the way she was when I was a kid. There was this idea that if you work hard you could be anything and back than we were free. We’re not free anymore. If we don’t follow all the rules we can be thrown into prison.

Did you know America inprisons more of her citizens than any other nation on earth!

Top it off with these political elitest sitting on there high horses running the show and in reality all they do is run America into the ground.

I have to agree with Clint. The president has a ton of power. Trust me everyone in the white house is kissing his a$$ and his administration is shaping policy. We do need a conservative president. If we let Obama continue he will continue to push his secret hidden agenda on us Americans and pave the way for more of the same.

We do need to take back our Country. I am not overly thrilled at the candidates but we have to make Obama a one term President!

and yea I’m a little hung over :slight_smile: Took my wife to Bobby Flay’s restaurant for Valentines Day! It was delicious! Best crab cakes I ever had! I digress.

Be glad guys! This was just the beginning of more socialism. What can become worse, will become worse. I mean, come on. Obama was elected by a majority. I’d never elect somebody like Obama, but obviously enough people did! Why has Ron Paul no chance? Because not enough people elect him. If they would, he had a chance. Don’t blame the system, blame the voters! The people have the key in their hands to change things, not Obama or any other socialist. Tho, they obviously listen to the sweet lies of socialism.

I have posted this before, but it bears repeating.

“The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism.
But under the name of “liberalism” they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program,
until one day America will be a Socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.”

Norman M. Thomas, six-time [I]Socialist Party of America[/I] candidate for president (between 1928 and 1948).


70 years ago, Norman Thomas predicted it — now, Barak Obama is making it happen.

Will correct and post later.

North Carolina Governor Beverly Perdue’s Food Police
nail a little, 4-year-old criminal.

They SEIZED THE LITTLE GIRL’S LUNCH — a turkey and cheese sandwich, banana, potato chips, and apple juice — and made her eat chicken nuggets, instead. (There’s no word on whether they were genuine Chicken McNuggets, or some generic imitation. Whatever. Chicken nuggets are like sausage — you don’t want to know what goes into them.) Here’s More.”

National Food Commissar Michelle Obama was overheard saying,
“For the second time in my adult life, I’m really proud of my country.”

(not really — I just made that up)

I think that [B]a turkey and cheese sandwich, banana, potato chips, and apple juice[/B]
should be declared [B]The National Lunch[/B] of freedom-loving American kids everywhere.

And I think they should send all the chicken nuggets to Michelle Obama.

Serves the little brat right! Who does she think she is having a turkey and cheese sandwich. I’m not even gonna mention the banana or apple juice… “Chicken” nuggets for everyone!

Good one, Wade.

I’m speechless.

Not only does the Government presume to tell parents what to feed their kids (WTF?), they ‘seize’ a little girl’s lunch ([B]W-T-F ???[/B]) and then feed her chicken nuggets … which is about the worst crap you can give to a kid; it’s hardly fit for human consumption, no matter the age.

What has America, ‘[I]Land of the Free and Home of the Brave[/I]’, come to?

O.

P.S.: You do that to my kid you better be sure you can run faster than I.
