CBS News: Is Maxine Waters Really As Dumb As She Seems?

This is a great article and video clip.

This is the MSM heartland - CBS News, for goodness’ sake - asking if Kerosene Maxine is “as dumb as she seems,” and writing in the column accompanying the video, that, “she demonstrates that there is obviously NO intelligence requirement necessary to be named to the House Financial Services Committee.”

Guess how this complete idiot is voting on healthcare, absolutely convinced she knows more about what We The People need than do we.

If you can - Do

If you  can’t - Teach

If you can do neither - Run for office.

What a complete and total MORON.

Update: Wow.[…]

Canada v. USA in Healthcare - or Why A Province Premier Came to America for Heart Valve Replacement

Sally C. Pipes

Thursday, February 25, 2010

Danny Williams, the premier of the Canadian province of Newfoundland, traveled to the United States earlier this month to undergo heart valve surgery at Mount Sinai Medical Center in Miami. With his trip, Williams joined a long list of Canadians who have decided that they prefer American medicine to their own country’s government-run health system when their lives are on the line.

But just as American hospitals are becoming popular vacation destinations for about 40,000 Canadians a year, California’s Senate is pressing ahead with its effort to make the[…]

Deficit Spending Visualized as a Road Trip

This is a very cool video. You should watch. It’s only a couple of minutes.

In it deficit spending is expressed visually using the metaphor of a road trip across America. As a President and Congress spend more money they don’t have, the speed of the trip increases. As they spend less, it slows. When they pay-down Debt, the car reverses.

It’s very clever, very good in getting the message across. And excellent at showing those complaining that “Bush did it!” how much farther and faster The Messiah has spent borrowed money than anyone in history.

Zowie - Depression 2.0

Some numbers published here:

Government needs funding this year of $2.0 trillion (that includes the federal budget deficit, off-budget spending, and state and local needs). Private industry needs about $0.5 trillion. Part of the funding will come from the country’s savings. Total gross savings (new savings) is estimated to be $1.5 trillion. Assuming all savings is available, a shortfall of $1.0 trillion exists.

This money can come from foreign lending or inflation. But…China, Japan and everyone else are saying, “No, thanks.”

“The Treasury Department reported that foreign holdings of U.S. Treasury securities fell by $53 billion in December, surpassing the previous record of[…]

Dems on Going Around the Filibuster

Here is an excellent video put together by Naked Emperor News - which I got via Powerline.

In it several of the major Democrat Senate express their views on the “nuclear option,” the threat by the GOP when the GOP was talking about going around the filibuster.

Very educational and well worth watching.

Cynical? Moi?

My how times change….

How Our Government Works

How can so many people in government not understand how our government WORKS?!?

This is NOT that difficult! Sheesh!

Obama’s new tax bill… uh… tyranny bill… sorry : Healthcare bill… you know - the one he wrote and expects the GOP to pass without comment, amendment or dissent (dissent no longer is patriotic, in case you missed the memo.. now it’s bigoted and racist and done only by the un-educated classes…) - THAT bill…

…seems to be hung-up because the geniuses in the Congress and DNC don’t know to which chamber it should be submitted first so they can break the law and use[…]

Executive Pay and Conservative Principles

Executive pay has become a hot button in the culture wars. The GOP needs to ensure its reaction to the Democrat proposals for the government to cap executive pay is not just a knee-jerk rejection, but is based on ideas other than the status-quo and increasing an unprecedented American divide between the haves and have-less, something that is not good for the body politic.

Bonuses or salaries of tens or hundreds of millions of dollars for bankrupting one’s company or quitting and parachuting out of your contract - or even just doing a good job - are not Conservative ideals. No[…]

Brutal Reality Check

Interesting article wrapped around the Winter Olympics.

Reality doesn’t get any more brutal than this.

Question: If ALL countries and cultures based on the Enlightenment fail, is any outcome other than another Dark Ages even possible?

Something to think about….

To paraphrase Mary McCarthy

Mary McCarthy once said of playwright Lillian Hellman that, “every word she writes is a lie, including ‘and’ and ‘the’.”

Kinda reminds one of Obama, and what he says, doesn’t it?

Obama - the 21st Century’s Lillian Hellman… whooda thunk?

Obama: A Seriously Dangerous President and an un-Free America

Look at these pictures. Not photoshopped, released by the White House.

And then watch and listen to this 55-second POTUS / TOTUS statement….

Can America really live through three more years of an infant being allowed to be the most powerful man in the world? A guy who lives inside a bubble of the most enormous conceit I can remember? And I can remember back to LBJ quite well….

This guy is DANGEROUS, very DANGEROUS.

This emperor has NO CLOTHES - and someone needs to tell him.

Three facts to consider:

1. Everything Obama has done has HURT America.
2. NOTHING he has done has HELPED America.
3. If you have children, they[…]
