Zer0 bama Ditty-Bops to His Own Drummer

While America tries to figure out how to hold her head up in pride and dignity, 0Clueless goes about life in his imaginary world. First let me ask you this. Adm. Mike Mullen, chairmain of the U.S joint chiefs of staff, stated that the US does have a military option for Iran but HE THINKS IT WOULD BE A BAD IDEA TO USE IT. Excuse me. Why open your face and allow words to fall out only if they telegraph your indifference to deal with the possible options? Say less. Say nothing. Don’t say anything stupid like we have “0” intent to use force.

To clarify my position here I have gone to using the Zero 0 here instead of a Capital Ooh “O”. As I see it the Zero “0” administration is doing nothing to help America, Arizona, Joblessness, Small Business, etc. As such I have chosen to refer to 37% of Americas president as Zero Bama = “0”bama. For the majority of Americans he offers us nothing. Thus he is 0bama.

In continuing stupidity 0 and his goons press ahead to prosecute Arizona for her stance on illegal immigrants while the 0administration does nothing. Actually nothing would be more desirable than their de facto efforts to give Arizona to Mexico. If you are going to allow Mexico to run roughshod over Arizona and to value Mexico more than Arizona are you not a traitor to your own people or are brown people the only ones worth caring for.

0bama promised that 0 tax dollars would be used for abortion yet 2 states are already spending your taxes on these same abortions. One might conclude that 0bama 0lied and 0deceived the American people, even to the point of signing a 0presidential 0proclamation that meant n0thing.

Really America. All the news that comes from Washington these days has 0 value for patriots, taxpayers, and local economies. This man 0ffers us n0thing, d0es nothing, and cann0t tell the truth. He is the president with0ut being presidential. 0ne might call him 0golfer (I hear he is a real hacker), 0vacationer, 0leader, and 0thers. I just can’t wait to call him 0’over.

MO-Bama: MOre Indifference, MOre Disrespect, MOre Corruption…

One would think that after 1 ½ years this guy would get something right. I mean if you shoot enough hoops, the law of probability says that eventually you will get one in. Accepting that, you would have to say that Obama’s continued Anti-America actions surely are purely intentional. Let me illustrate.

Today’s headlines shows that Obama has appointed a new Immigration and Customs Enforcement director in the person of Harold Hurtt. This man has a law enforcement background but favors “Sanctuary Cities” (cities where illegal immigrants can live without fear of arrest). So in his efforts to advance the cause of Immigration Reform, Obama appoints a director who plays hide-and-go-seek with illegals and they can call Olly-Olly-Ox-in-Free when they reach a “Sanctuary City”.

Also in today’s headlines a Congressional Committee has stayed up all night to put the finishing touches on a 2,000 page financial reform bill that Chairperson Chris Dodd said, “No one will know until this is actually in place how it works. But we believe we've done something that has been needed for a long time.” While I don’t speak double-speak I do know BS when I hear it and this one won’t be good for Americans if this is the way it begins. Since when did we start playing “Grab Bag Government”? Buy the bag folks and get your surprise. Come on it is only trillions of your dollars.

And in further news the Whitehouse and Google seem to be having an affair of the worst kind. Obama had promised no Lobbying of its power yet they have this interesting relationship with Google. Google was Obama’s third largest contributor to his presidential campaign which was 40 times the size of John Mc Cain’s. It would appear that D.C. is a sanctuary city for corruption.

Olly-Olly-Ox-in-Free!

It’s All Broken: Congress, Presidency, Courts…

It has been years in the “Breaking” but I think that the official diagnosis is we’re broke, broken, and continuing to break. This opinion comes from the observation that there is “No One” in government that is paying one whit of attention to what the people want and need. As America flips and flops like an oil coated fish gasping for its last breath, government is busy protecting itself. The Republicans are trying to keep the Tea Party from having an effect on the Party and Democrats are looking to tax oil, energy, manufactured goods and anything else they can.

Obama has proven that he has no use for the “Truth” or “America” as we have known it. Even now he hopes to repeal Don’t Ask Don’t Tell and fragment the US Military. The military has already advised that this is not the time to address this issue. After all Mr. Obama, who cares what the morale is of the majority of our fighting men and women is as long as you appease those who have decided to honor your promises to? You have made promises to All Americans but as of today you have not kept or have broken all but a few. The only thing I have seen for sure is your “Fundamental Change” of America. We don't want it.

Arizona has passed a law to get the federal government to act and the only action from that goverment has been ridicule and lies. The administration sticks to its talking points and refuses to engage Arizona’s problem on even the most basic level. Worse yet the problem is not just illegal Mexican Immigrants but rather Millions of Immigrants from every nation on earth who have come on vacation or whatever and never gone home. This includes your garden variety terrorist as well as others who have no investment financially or emotionally in this nation. Still there’s no action from Obama. In fact the only real action that Obama’s folks have taken is for ICE to say they may not take any prisoners that Arizona arrests. How arrogant and unreceptive can a Government be? We might as well be asking for China to give us Tibet. We would stand a much better chance than asking our government to do its job.

It is no wonder that there is an anti-incumbent sentiment in America. The truth is we want you all out of there, including you Mr. Obama, and we can’t get it done fast enough to suit us. In the meantime we are dealt blow after blow of government incompetence, neglect, corruption, and disregard. Worse still we Americans feel our liberties and freedoms being stripped from us. One would think that only an elite few in government and a select group of citizens matter. One would be very close to the truth if “One” thought that.

The Pot calls the Kettle Mr. President

In possibly the most disconnected and sanctimonious statement yet Obama said that it was time for people to quit finger pointing and blaming others. He was able to do this by pointing the finger at BP, Halliburton, the Federal Government and others. He did not accept any personal responsibility. As Finger-Pointer-in-Chief he is exempt from utilizing his own wisdom. Just take Obama’s advice as it is in great shape having never been used and only spouted from his lips for the benefit of the masses. If this man would think about what he says he surely wouldn’t speak such stupidity. He has blamed George Bush for nearly everything and the rest on the Tea Partiers and Fox News. He almost apologized once but caught himself in mid-honesty and saved the day with yet another self aggrandizing speech.

More amazing still is that some 40% of America still stand by this man and most of those if not all would vote for him as president again. No wonder our nation is in such peril. Understand that it is okay to make a mistake. We all do it (present President excluded). We admit out mistakes and learn from them (again the president is not referred to here) and move on. So one has to wonder when their leader has been caught in lie after lie, political strong-arming, and Constitutional manipulation, just why do these continue to follow him?

Now while Obama was saying how BP and others need to quit blaming each other I am not thinking that he mentioned that he was the single largest recipient of BP cash donations ever. He might have said that during his bashing of the “Cozy Political Relationships” tongue lashing telling how it was all going to change. I think he also missed saying how he and his administration had been giving waivers to oil companies drilling in the gulf: BP included. They often say the best defense is a good offense. Apparently Obama adheres to that philosophy. Mr. Obama please know that a great number of Americans are “offended” by your actions or the lack there of.

It is unfair to put the blame totally on Obama. He has others in his administration that have the “do as I say and not as I do” philosophy. Attorney General Holder has condemned the Arizona immigration bill and hasn’t even read it; all ten pages of it. Don’t lawyers generally read stuff before declaring a position on it? He wants to protect illegal immigrants and legal immigrants from profiling. Then Mr. Holder decided that issuing Miranda rights to Americans who may be terrorists wasn’t necessarily a good idea. Hello Mr. Attorney General! Do you plan on “Mirandizing” Tea Party patriots and other protesters that you deem to be anti-Obama-administration or are you going to treat them as enemy combatants?

I saw a great city on a hill...

Caution. Patriots will weep. Proceed at your own risk.



Just today Fox News’ web site had an article about the chaos in Greece with a headline “Could the U.S. be Next?” Also today my sister-in-law was astounded to find out that the Rev. Franklin Graham was not allowed at the pentagon prayer service. She doesn’t have cable and heard the news about Rev. Graham on the Focus on the Family radio broadcast. As I consider these 2 separate events I realize the disconnect in America is huge. Some mainstream media have been tugging at the heart strings for the Times Square bomber because he never realized the American dream. Nashville is under 10 feet of water as are numerous counties and nothing is on the news. BP and the oil spill are all over the news but the Administration’s slow response time goes almost without mention and a man stabs a bus driver to death while the bus is en route.

Considering this first paragraph I would say we are well on the way to the violence in Greece. Today I watched video of Mexican students in California snatching flag from a handicapped man in a wheelchair. I think it was a Mexican flag but a from a guy in a wheelchair. I read that the kids who were sent home from school for wearing patriotic colors received and apology from the principal. Too bad they were advised to stay home from school for fear of violence from the Latino kids. Oh yes. Two of the kids are half Mexican.

So let me summarize. The dollar is falling faster the Twin Towers of NYC on 9/11 and the stock market graph looks like a heartbeat on life support. A Christian preacher is not welcome to pray at the Pentagon because some Muslims don’t like his message and the MSM was hoping that the Time Square bombing incident was a Tea Party member. Add to that the people of Tennessee are suffering big time and none of them have flood insurance because they aren’t even in a flood plain. No news here folks. Move on. While I haven’t heard why the guy stabbed the city bus driver. I can’t wait to see the coverage of that because you sure as heck aren’t going to see any coverage of Mexican kids molesting a handicapped guy.

Perhaps by next week the Patriotic kids can return to their school. Too bad that what they will be taught will be some half truths and history redacted for convenience sake.
In answer to Fox News’ question I think it needs no answer. I think it was purely rhetorical as they see it coming plain as day. Yep. The conservatives will get the blame but the liberals have already started the violence, just no one is covering it. By the way, though no one is talking much about it the government just took over the Internet. They will say it isn’t so. Blog while you can because freedom of speech is about to become an historic concept.

I'm Tired

Reposted with Permission from the author: Robert A. Hall. This is a Must read of a post from more than a year ago. HOW TRUE IS IT NOW.

I’ll be 63 soon. Except for one semester in college when jobs were scarce, and a six-month period when I was between jobs, but job-hunting every day, I’ve worked, hard, since I was 18. Despite some health challenges, I still put in 50-hour weeks, and haven’t called in sick in seven or eight years. I make a good salary, but I didn’t inherit my job or my income, and I worked to get where I am. Given the economy, there’s no retirement in sight, and I’m tired. Very tired.

I’m tired of being told that I have to “spread the wealth around” to people who don’t have my work ethic. I’m tired of being told the government will take the money I earned, by force if necessary, and give it to people too lazy or stupid to earn it.

I’m tired of being told that I have to pay more taxes to “keep people in their homes.” Sure, if they lost their jobs or got sick, I’m willing to help. But if they bought McMansions at three times the price of our paid-off, $250,000 condo, on one-third of my salary, then let the leftwing Congresscritters who passed Fannie and Freddie and the Community Reinvestment Act that created the bubble help them—with their own money.

I’m tired of being told how bad America is by leftwing millionaires like Michael Moore, George Soros and Hollywood entertainers who live in luxury because of the opportunities America offers. In thirty years, if they get their way, the United States will have the religious freedom and women’s rights of Saudi Arabia, the economy of Zimbabwe, the freedom of the press of China, the crime and violence of Mexico, the tolerance for Gay people of Iran, and the freedom of speech of Venezuela. Won’t multiculturalism be beautiful?

I’m tired of being told that Islam is a “Religion of Peace,” when every day I can read dozens of stories of Muslim men killing their sisters, wives and daughters for their family “honor;” of Muslims rioting over some slight offense; of Muslims murdering Christian and Jews because they aren’t “believers;” of Muslims burning schools for girls; of Muslims stoning teenage rape victims to death for “adultery;” of Muslims mutilating the genitals of little girls; all in the name of Allah, because the Qur’an and Shari’a law tells them to.

I believe “a man should be judged by the content of his character, not by the color of his skin.” I’m tired of being told that “race doesn’t matter” in the post-racial world of President Obama, when it’s all that matters in affirmative action jobs, lower college admission and graduation standards for minorities (harming them the most), government contract set-asides, tolerance for the ghetto culture of violence and fatherless children that hurts minorities more than anyone, and in the appointment of US Senators from Illinois. I think it’s very cool that we have a black president and that a black child is doing her homework at the desk where Lincoln wrote the emancipation proclamation. I just wish the black president was Condi Rice, or someone who believes more in freedom and the individual and less in an all-knowing government.

I’m tired of a news media that thinks Bush’s fundraising and inaugural expenses were obscene, but that think Obama’s, at triple the cost, were wonderful. That thinks Bush exercising daily was a waste of presidential time, but Obama exercising is a great example for the public to control weight and stress, that picked over every line of Bush’s military records, but never demanded that Kerry release his, that slammed Palin with two years as governor for being too inexperienced for VP, but touted Obama with three years as senator as potentially the best president ever.

Wonder why people are dropping their subscriptions or switching to Fox News? Get a clue. I didn’t vote for Bush in 2000, but the media and Kerry drove me to his camp in 2004.

I’m tired of being told that out of “tolerance for other cultures” we must let Saudi Arabia use our oil money to fund mosques and madrassa Islamic schools to preach hate in America, while no American group is allowed to fund a church, synagogue or religious school in Saudi Arabia to teach love and tolerance.

I’m tired of being told I must lower my living standard to fight global warming, which no one is allowed to debate. My wife and I live in a two-bedroom apartment and carpool together five miles to our jobs. We also own a three-bedroom condo where our daughter and granddaughter live. Our carbon footprint is about 5% of Al Gore’s, and if you’re greener than Gore, you’re green enough.

I’m tired of being told that drug addicts have a disease, and I must help support and treat them, and pay for the damage they do. Did a giant germ rush out of a dark alley, grab them, and stuff white powder up their noses while they tried to fight it off? I don’t think Gay people choose to be Gay, but I damn sure think druggies chose to take drugs. And I’m tired of harassment from cool people treating me like a freak when I tell them I never tried marijuana.

I’m tired of illegal aliens being called “undocumented workers,” especially the ones who aren’t working, but are living on welfare or crime. What’s next? Calling drug dealers, “Undocumented Pharmacists”? And, no, I’m not against Hispanics. Most of them are Catholic and it’s been a few hundred years since Catholics wanted to kill me for my religion. I’m willing to fast track for citizenship any Hispanic person who can speak English, doesn’t have a criminal record and who is self-supporting without family on welfare, or who serves honorably for three years in our military. Those are the citizens we need.

I’m tired of latte liberals and journalists, who would never wear the uniform of the Republic themselves, or let their entitlement-handicapped kids near a recruiting station, trashing our military. They and their kids can sit at home, never having to make split-second decisions under life and death circumstances, and bad mouth better people then themselves. Do bad things happen in war? You bet. Do our troops sometimes misbehave? Sure. Does this compare with the atrocities that were the policy of our enemies for the last fifty years—and still are? Not even close. So here’s the deal. I’ll let myself be subjected to all the humiliation and abuse that was heaped on terrorists at Abu Ghraib or Gitmo, and the critics can let themselves be subject to captivity by the Muslims who tortured and beheaded Daniel Pearl in Pakistan, or the Muslims who tortured and murdered Marine Lt. Col. William Higgins in Lebanon, or the Muslims who ran the blood-spattered Al Qaeda torture rooms our troops found in Iraq, or the Muslims who cut off the heads of schoolgirls in Indonesia, because the girls were Christian. Then we’ll compare notes. British and American soldiers are the only troops in history that civilians came to for help and handouts, instead of hiding from in fear.

I’m tired of people telling me that their party has a corner on virtue and the other party has a corner on corruption. Read the papers—bums are bi-partisan. And I’m tired of people telling me we need bi-partisanship. I live in Illinois, where the “Illinois Combine” of Democrats and Republicans has worked together harmoniously to loot the public for years. And I notice that the tax cheats in Obama’s cabinet are bi-partisan as well.

I’m tired of hearing wealthy athletes, entertainers and politicians of both parties talking about innocent mistakes, stupid mistakes or youthful mistakes, when we all know they think their only mistake was getting caught. I’m tired of people with a sense of entitlement, rich or poor.

Speaking of poor, I’m tired of hearing people with air-conditioned homes, color TVs and two cars called poor. The majority of Americans didn’t have that in 1970, but we didn’t know we were “poor.” The poverty pimps have to keep changing the definition of poor to keep the dollars flowing.

I’m real tired of people who don’t take responsibility for their lives and actions. I’m tired of hearing them blame the government, or discrimination, or big-whatever for their problems.

Yes, I’m damn tired. But I’m also glad to be 63. Because, mostly, I’m not going to get to see the world these people are making. I’m just sorry for my granddaughter.

What the hell is going on?

Listening to the radio today gave me a real sense of just how badly this country is divided. There are economic and ethnic divisions and racial and cultural divides. There are those who favor government and those who favor even more government and some who want no government at all. Some want to take from those who have and give to the have-nots. Some don’t care who they take it from as long as they get theirs. Tom Brokaw once wrote that the Greatest Generation was those who got us through World War II. I am thinking if we don’t rise to a greater height in these days that we will go down as the “loser” generation.

In Saint Louis there are those fighting to stop the sale of the Rams football team if Rush Limbaugh is a part of the ownership. They contend that he would be too divisive and some players wouldn’t play for him. Some contend that he is a racist as they hurl racist accusations against him that they cannot prove nor will they ever. The Rams have bled this city since coming here and anyone who wants to shoulder some of their debt can have it as far as I am concerned.

Next I find that the actions that congress took to defund ACORN were on a stopgap measure. ACORN will again be funded by the Federal Government “we the taxpayers” on November 1st of this year. So, all the hoopla that went on in congress was a ruse. As of today there has been no action by the Congress to investigate this firm and there is actually some indications that ACORN is continuing to gain support through back channels even now.

President Obama stated that illegal immigrants will not get healthcare. Joe Wilson called him a liar. As it turns out, the Supreme Court has already faced this issue with education in the past and has ruled that “all persons” will be entitled to a public education. Joe it appears that you are right and that no matter what congress puts out it will by law be available to illegal immigrants. In the meantime the government is trying to hamstring the efforts of Arizona’s Maricopa county Sherriff Joe Arpaio. They de-authorized him from arresting illegals. Joe as other plans. In these cases the “Joes have it”!
