1/16/2012 8:49:18 PM Can you believe this? They sent my Census form back!..... In response to question # 4, "Do you have any dependents?" I replied - "2.1 million illegal immigrants; 1.1 million crack heads; 4.4 million unemployable people, 901 thousand people in over 85 prisons; and 565 idiots in Parliament. Apparently, this was NOT an acceptable answer. >> Who did I miss ? |

1/23/2012 10:02:51 AM Why Are Obama’s Supporters So Dumb? By Robert Ringer - Monday, January 23, 2012 On Hannity last week, the king of vulgarity, Jerry Springer, kept hammering home a puzzling point — that Barack Obama needs additional stimulus money so the government can hire more people. After all, he said, “the private sector can’t employ everyone.” Now that’s one I’ve never heard before. The private sector can’t employ everyone, therefore the government needs to take more money from working people and “create” jobs for people who aren’t working? Springer’s comment was, of course, code for more redistribution of wealth. One hundred percent employment is possible only in a police state like the Soviet Union of the twentieth century, where everyone was forced to work — at the job, and at the wages, that the state mandated. And we all know how well that system worked out for the masses. By contrast, if there were such a thing as a true laissez-faire economy, everyone who genuinely wanted to work would be employed. The problem in today’s socialist America is that everyone does not have to work. Millions of perfectly fit people have the option of remaining unemployed because of “jobless benefits,” minimum-wage laws, food stamps, and other forms of welfare. Remove all of the above, and the employment rate would, indeed, approach 100 percent. Today, however, people have the luxury of taking their time finding a job that they believe to be worthy of their education, experience, and talents. And the result is that many people choose to be unemployed rather than “underemployed.” The term underemployed always makes me bristle because it implies that a person has a right to a job and a salary that he deems to be worthy of his efforts. Yet, no matter how hard I search, I cannot find any such right in the Constitution. Come to think of it, I can’t find any rights in the Constitution that the government has the authority to grant. The fact is that the government has no right to take your money and use it to create a make-work job for someone else. Whether the private sector can or cannot employ everyone is another one of those false premises that the left uses to divert attention from the real issue — in this case, the issue being freedom. Isn’t it interesting that Ronald Regan, a Republican, and Bill Clinton, a one-time spread-the-wealth Democrat, both cut the number of people on food stamps and presided over the two most robust economies of the past half century? No doubt it was just an inconvenient coincidence. Unfortunately, as crazy as Jerry Springer’s statement was, both Democratic and Republican statists show, through their actions, that they agree with him. Which is to say that they don’t believe in capitalism. What they do believe in is state capitalism — or, more appropriately, state-controlled capitalism, much like in China. Statist politicians understand that continually increasing welfare benefits is the surest way to stay in office. We’ve come a long way since Calvin Coolidge famously said, “The business of America is business.” Today, redistribution of wealth is America’s number-one business, which is why free-market constitutionalists are finding it increasingly difficult to push through any cuts in public-assistance programs. In this regard, perhaps Obama’s greatest triumph in his quest to cleanse the United States of its evil capitalist system has been to increase the number of food-stamp recipients from 32 million to 46 million in just three years. Not surprisingly, at the recent Fox News Republican debate, brain surgeon Juan Williams, a hapless media soul lost between two worlds, claimed that Newt Gingrich’s reference to Barack Obama as “the food-stamp president” had “racial overtones” — even though half of the people receiving food stamps are white! Nice diversion, I guess. When Jerry Springer says that “the private sector can’t employ everyone,” he ignores the reality that, from California to Spain … from Wisconsin to Greece, the mantra of the pampered parasitic class is, “We don’t give a damn about the economy, the debt, or the government’s lack of cash. We want our benefits anyway!” Not jobs, mind you. Benefits. Giving its crack editorial staff due credit, I believe Newsweek had it almost right in its cover-story headline: Why are Obama’s critics so dumb? In fact, with just a bit of editing, I was able to straighten it out for them: Why are Obama’s supporters so dumb? Why do they not see that by continuing to demand that the welfare state expand, their children and grandchildren are destined to live under tyranny? As Thomas Sowell said in his article “An Ignored ‘Disparity’ – Part IV”, “Whole totalitarian governments have risen to dictatorial power on the wings of envy and resentment ideologies.” Sorry, Jerry, but the problem is not the private sector’s inability to “employ everyone.” The problem is envy and resentment, the dark duo that blinds welfare recipients from the certain consequences of their actions. Which is why you can count on class warfare, like never before in our history, being the overriding theme of this year’s elections. It will be ugly.

1/24/2012 7:33:18 AM Actual it is a corner stone of Kaysen economics, big Ben and most Republicans believe in.. The theory is in a recession as private company's retract and shrink, Government steps in to fill the void and keep people employed to soften the overall economic impact. The theory also state that during time of great economic expansion the government should be running a large surpluses and pay off all its debt, then when the slow down happens it can take on some debt in the short term... but that did not happen.. |

Add these up one by one and you get a phenomenal score that points to the fact that Barrack Hussein Obama is determined to turn America into a Marxist-Socialist society. All of the items in the preceding paragraphs have been put into place. All can be documented very easily. Before you disavow this, do an Internet search. The last paragraph alone is not yet cast in stone. You and I will write that paragraph. Will it read as above or will it be a more happy ending for most of America? Don't just belittle the opposition. Search for the truth. We all need to pull together or watch the demise of a free society. Pray for Americans to seek the truth and take action for it will keep us FREE. Our biggest enemy is not China, Russia, North Korea or Iran. Our biggest enemy is a contingent of politicians in Washington, DC . The government will not help, so we need to do it ourselves. Question....will you delete this, or pass it on to others who don't know about Obama's actions and plans for the USA, so that they may know how to vote in November, 2012 and the ensuing years? It's your decision. I believe it does matter. How about you? WHEN - November 2012 comes, it will matter who you vote for! |
