Treachery, Subversion, and Destabilization: the Obama Legacy

We are at a precipice.  In order to understand what the O-bumites have done and plan to do to this nation, two articles deserve to be read because they expose those schemes.  The first explains why the O-bomunist is preventing an economic recovery.  The second describes how Chris Dodd is acting as a henchman for O-buma and his campaign contributor billionaire socialist George Soros and the other hedge fund short sellers who profit from causing US businesses to fail and to make Americans unemployed.

This crowd of traitors, parasites, scoundrels, and hustlers have set up policies, regulations, and laws such that they will gain financially and personally from destroying America economically, politically, and socially.  Power hungry and money grubbing, the socialist-progressive O-bumites have insatiable appetites for both.  George Will identifies their belief systems in this article.  Their promise is a "program for every problem and every unfulfilled desire is a problem."

When moderates such as Thomas Sowell and George Will are setting off warning klaxons that the federal government under the current regime has run amok and that we face a bleak future because of it, there is something seriously amiss.  Recall Rahm Emanuel's belief in the utility of crises.  The current group in DC profits from crisis induced instability.   

This ruling class elite manufactures it by prolonging the recession and its attendant unemployment that hovers around 10%.  They have used economic conditions to excuse creation of massively unneeded, ineffective, and harmful spending programs that have further burdened taxpayers and the economy.  They have tried to exploit the Gulf oil spill to justify banning Gulf oil exploration and to pass ecofascist cap-and-trade laws that will further cripple US businesses and add to unemployment.  In both cases, O-buma and his cohorts have revealed that they are reprehensibly mercenary.

They hope to destabilize the country by adding 10-20 million illegal aliens to the welfare rolls.  Another such scheme is to confer statehood to Puerto Rico.  If it were a state, its contribution to federal coffers would be lower than any of the other 50 states; the economy there is in shambles due to generous benefits conferred by its welfare programs.  What a shock it is to to learn that the thrice rejected drive for statehood began in 2008 concurrent with the rise of the One and his minions. 

The most transparent administration in history is revealing itself to be one of the most secretive, furtive, and devious in history.  When agents of the state hide things, there is usually something wrong.

May your gods be with you.

Rip'emoff Reid and Company

O-buma's Porkulous has failed to stimulate jobs growth.  That is unless the 411,000 temporary government employees who were hired by the US Census Bureau are taken into account.  Government simply cannot create private sector jobs.  What government agents can do is to increase the numbers of bureaucrats.  

To do this, it is necessary to increase spending; to increase spending, it is necessary to increase taxation.  This takes money from the private sector, which in turn decreases the very resources required to create private sector jobs.  

If you fail to recognize that the party-of-government Theftocrats want to increase the number of people who are dependent on the government welfare plantation, let me sell you some hurricane proof real estate in the Florida Keys.  Sadly, it seems as though there is no stunt, scheme, or scam so low that O-buma and the corruptocrats will not stoop to it.

The time has come to disenfranchise government unions.

May your gods be with you.

Supply and Demand

Guess who was British Petroleum Company's largest recipient of campaign money in the 2008 election.  It was the squeaky clean, environmentally green Barack O-buma.  It's not too shocking.  However, neither he nor his Congressional associates are returning the money.  Betting on the favorite in a race is smart money.  As Damon Runyon put it, the "race is not always to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, but that's the way to bet."

Now, Bo is calling for an investigation by the Department of the Interior, and offshore drilling proponents are disappearing like illegal aliens in Arizona.  It may be bad timing to make this contention, but abandoning oil exploration and drilling in the Gulf of Mexico merely strengthens our enemies.  We did not de-fund and dismantle NASA after the Challenger crash.

We continue to help our adversaries by allowing Mexico and other countries to export their unemployment to the US and onto the taxpayers' backs.  We have enough unemployment already.  Just as is the case with illegal drugs, there would be few illegal immigrants here if there were no demand.  William F. Buckley pointed out many years ago that the drug trade is demand driven.

If Americans want to smoke pot, the government could grow, distribute, advertise, and sell it at so low a cost as to drive smugglers out of business much in the way that we dealt with bootlegging.

As we do with domestic drug lords, we can also do to those who import illegal labor.  If we seize the assets that they acquire with the profits made from using illegally imported labor, fine them, and jail them if they are repeat offenders, we can significantly decrease the demand for illegal labor.  Still, there are other steps that we can take to stem the tide of unlawful border crossings.

We can change the federal Constitution such that we do not automatically confer citizenship to children who are born to women who are in this country illegally.  No more anchor babies means no more wholesale importation of taxpayer burdens from abroad.  Requiring proof of citizenship as a requirement for staying in a homeless shelter or receiving medical care could help also.  Nonetheless, we can do even more.

By identifying the industries and businesses that are most heavily invested in the use of illegals, we could apply a progressive tax based upon the number of violations that a company commits.  Levying a progressive tax would reward businesses that abide by the law to avoid the tax altogether, to punish lawbreakers commensurately, and to offset some of the costs of immigration control.

On the good news front, Raul Castro is widening his embrace of capitalism.  His decision to include foreign investment in the tourism industry will bring much needed cash into the country, but more important, greater numbers of Cubans will see firsthand how free trade and a free society go hand and hand.  It would be a welcome change if the privilege of holding title to land were restored to the Cuban people.  During his regime, Fidel recognized that one of the most effective ways to keep a people in servitude is to keep them landless.

May your gods be with you.
