Post-Election Thoughts

As one of the scorned and quickly dwindling 53%, Tuesday’s election was like a nightmare from which awakening seemed almost impossible.  It was horrifying to realize that half of the people in America are really that stupid; primarily due to 70 years of progressive liberal subversion of our educational system, and deliberately because despite all evidence to the contrary that socialism has never worked, they are just too fearful or too greedy to take responsibility for their own lives.

There is a small glimmer of hope in one fact, however.  President Composite’s win was by only a slim popular vote margin; a far cry from being an actual mandate to roll the tanks of his nefarious redistribution agenda over the will of the American people.  It would be nice if Congress understood this but whether or not they do remains to be seen.  I’m not holding my breath, though; John Boehner’s conciliatory words this week sounded more like a Pelosi-chastised blue-dog Democrat than a conservative Republic Speaker of the House holding the power of the purse in a majority grip.

The agenda for the next 4 years is being examined by pundits and one of the nastiest items on the list is how to deal with the 11 million-plus criminals in residence here.  Apparently sidestepping the rule of law with the bastardized executive fiat version of the DREAM Act gave the communists an advantage (and more illegal votes than anyone has the balls to investigate) but if the truth be told it is a problem that needs to be properly addressed sooner than later.

It’s far too late to round them all up and send them back to their home countries so yet another attempt at amnesty is going to rear its head.  And I think Rush Limbaugh is onto something about how to handle the problem.  It’s actually quite brilliant.  Go ahead and grant these deliberate, premeditated criminals amnesty but, since they are going to have to plead guilty to their crime in order to gain citizenship, like convicted felons, simply do not allow them to vote.

Problem solved.  They will be able to openly pull up a chair at the table of opportunity of the United States as well as be wholly subject to her overciminalized rule of law.  They will be forced to contribute to and may collect Social Security and Medicare like the rest of us.  If you think that this might be too harsh, remember:  Reagan granted amnesty on the condition of border security but all we got was 11+ million more criminals, Fast and Furious, and 26 years of lies that the GOP hates Hispanics.  This is a way to force Democrats to uphold their end of the bargain on border security and at the same time keep this particuar pet demographic of theirs from mucking with the system by voting for those who only encourage criminal behavior.

Why Mitt’s Right

Mitt Romney is right.  There are a lot among that 47% who are a lost cause.  We often exchange emails with one of them.  It’s an exercise only in seeing firsthand just how many brain cells die when you can’t stop drinking Kool-Aid.  Here is our most recent exchange.

From the progressive:

Thanks for sharing this so I can see what crap they are peddling now (actually this goes back a couple of years).  I know you are too smart to fall for this and suppose you actually opened the Snopes link to see it is false.  Typical.  So if people would bother to read what Snopes says about this:  # of employees in White House has DECREASED under Obama and cost accordingly. Those who got raises actually go new job assignments with different. new duties.

This is what the idiots out there do:  lie, lie, lie….and people are stupid enough to believe the lies.

No matter; Romney is toast unless the GOP cheats to win (which they are trying hard to do w/all the voter suppression laws.  Disgusting.  Play and Win or Lose Fair and Square if you think you have the better political platform for our nation.  They are such liars and losers.  They ruined the economy and now expect us to put them back in the driver’s seat!

Pass it on to all so that everyone is aware of Obama’s hypocrisy. Is this the Hope and Change you need?

Our response:

The 2008 Bush staff count was 447 and cost $35.4M (adjusted for inflation).  The 2009 Obama staff count was 487 and cost $39.1M; the 2012 cost is $37.8M.

The current average WH salary is $80,740; according to the latest BLS numbers (7/18/12), the median salary for full-time wage and salary workers comes out to $40,092/year.

Their response:

Go try living in D.C. area on $80k!

Gun Control Explained

Gun control is knowing when to shoot, not disarming citizens.  The 2nd Amendment is our insurance against a government grown tyrannical and those who would argue anything else have either evil intent or are little more than useful idiots.

A friend sent along this video.  It’s not a new one, but it deserves to go viral again.

We’ve no idea why this one is trending on Twitter today, but like other attempts to use it to push President Lame Duck and his nefarious agenda, all that’s happening is making the case against the progressive liberal agenda.

This one apparently failed reading comprehension.

So did this one, but at least they are living in reality.

This one has been spending too much time burning up those “free minutes” on their government-issued cellphone.

And this one must’ve been raised drinking Kool-Aid.

Probably by this guy.

 Fortunately, some who get it are also laugh-out-loud funny.

Why A “Third Palestinian Intifada” Is Immoral & Just Plain Wrong

April 10, 2011 By Joan of Snark

Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Time for a little history lesson as the Middle East continues to burn unchecked and Arab Palestinians swarm social media sites like Facebook to rally other anti-Semites to attack Israel again; prompted by a liberal’s recent cruel blathering that “EVERYTHING that is wrong w/U.S. Mideast Policy falls at the feet of our blind support for Israel; a nation created by stealing from others and founded upon lessons not learned in the Holocaust.”

 There were no such issues nor anyone called a “Palestinian” prior to the end of WWI when the Turks, by their association with Germany, lost the war.  The southern portion of their Ottoman Empire was “mandated” to France and Britain under the Sykes-Picot Agreement in 1916 which assigned (“mandated”) Lebanon and Syria to France and assigned “Palestine” (today’s Jordan, Israel and “West Bank”) to Great Britain, who liked the idea of having Palestine be the national Jewish homeland.   (Note that to be “Palestinian” meant one could be either Arab or Jew and both were living across this entire area without problems.)

 In 1923 came GB’s administrative mandate that Jews would be permitted only west of the Jordan river.  In effect, GB “chopped off” 75% of the originally proposed Jewish Palestinian homeland to form an Arab Palestinian nation called Trans-Jordan (renamed “Jordan” in 1946).  Bottom line:  the Palestinian Arabs now had their very own “Arab Palestinian” homeland while the remaining 25% of west of the Jordan River would be the Jewish Palestinian homeland.

 But this wasn’t enough for the Arabs and those who were living in the Jewish Palestine went on the offensive.  Witness the Hebron massacres of 1929 and later the 1936-39 “Arab Revolt.” GB gave up on the whole thing and turned the matter over to the U.N. in 1947 and they decided to settle things by proposing Resolution 181, which essentially gave more of the original 25% of Jewish Palestine to the Arabs based on population concentrations.  The Jews agreed but the Arabs rejected it, wanting the entire original 25%.

 Israel was then officially “born” on May 14, 1948 and on May 15, 1948, Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Yemen together invaded Israel. Most of the Arabs living within the boundaries of the newly born country were encouraged to leave by the invading Arab armies to facilitate the slaughter of the Jews and were promised all Jewish property after the Arab armies won the war.  They left because it made (sick) sense:  let someone else do the dirty work and come back later to claim the spoils.

 But 19 months later, their calculated risk to leave turned out to be a bad idea.  It cost Israel a full 1% of its entire population but they won the war.  The Arabs who did not leave are today’s Israeli-Arab citizens; those who chose to leave in hopes of later gains were the first wave of “Palestinian Arab refugees.”  At the end of it all, what remained of that almost-created second Arab Palestinian State ended up with Egypt occupying the Gaza Strip and Trans-Jordan occupying Judea-Samaria (a.k.a. the “West Bank” of the Jordan River) and Jerusalem. In the next year (1950) Trans-Jordan formally merged this West Bank territory into itself and granted all those “Palestinian” Arabs living there Jordanian citizenship.  Since Trans-Jordan was then no longer confined to one side of the Jordan River, it renamed itself simply “Jordan.”  The bottom line here is that the Arabs of Palestine ended up with nearly 85% of the original territory of Palestine; now called Jordan but in reality a little more than their original share, the ARAB Palestine.

 Now consider this:  From 1949-67, when all of Judea-Samaria (the West Bank and Jerusalem} and Gaza were 100% under Arab (Jordanian & Egyptian) control, no effort was EVER made to create a second Palestinian State for the Arabs living there.  It is laughable to say Israel should now provide these same Arabs with their own country when their fellow Arabs failed to do so.

 This is apparently because the Arabs had other plans for in 1967 the Egyptian, Jordanian and Syrian armies mobilized along Israel’s narrow and seemingly indefensible borders in preparation for a massive invasion to eliminate her. The battle cry heard throughout the Arab world was then, as it continues to be, “Slaughter the Jews” and “Throw the Jews into the Sea!”  How embarrassing that once again, but only six days later, Israel won this war, too, and in doing so gained the entire Sinai Peninsula.  Through their own actions, the Arab losers became simply more “Palestinian Arab refugees”.

 It makes no sense to to me, but in 1982 Israel gave the rich Sinai Desert back to Egypt.

 And so the nonsense from the Arab side continues.  The best way I have heard this put is that the so-called “Israeli-Palestinian conflict” is essentially, “In many ways an Islamic religious jihad against the Jews.”

 So spare me any sop about Israeli “persecution” and Jewish “understanding”.  If anything, the Jews have been far too soft in the face of this Arab insanity.  Insanity now spreading around the internet like wildfire with calls for a Third Palestinian Intifada on May 15, 2011.

Hypocritical Union Protest Planned In Michigan

The poster child for all that’s wrong with liberalism who became obese by biting the capitalist hand that paid for his too many Big Macs, Michael Moore, is now setting his ego…errr…his sites on the state of Michigan.  In an open letter to labor unions on his website he calls for union members to fake calling in sick to work and students to cut class:

Please show up at noon on Wednesday for our first mega-rally against this insanity. Hundreds of groups are already organizing car pools and buses. You can right now just declare yourself an organizer and get your friends and neighbors committed to being in Lansing. If ever there were a day to call in sick, Wednesday is it (because this IS sick). Students, if ever there were a day to cut class and become a participant in your democracy, Wednesday is it. This event needs to be HUGE — and I believe it will be if you will simply be there and take a stand.

Much attention has been paid to Wisconsin in recent weeks. Well, they got nothing on what’s going on here in Michigan. Rick Snyder is Scott Walker on steroids. There’s never been what even the AARP calls “an all-out attack” like this on us. Trust me, you will rue the day you sat home and did nothing while thieves posing as politicians stole your Great Lakes State from you.

All because Governor Rick Snyder wants to balance Michigan’s budget by taxing monies not previously taxed and putting Michigan in a welcoming position for business (and therefore jobs) by lowering the state business tax.  Yeah, ok, that Emergency City Management idea needs more work and it isn’t fun to realize that you are going to become like almost everyone else in the country by paying taxes on your pension (Michigan is one of only 4 states that doesn’t tax pensions) but let me assure you that once he won the primary, Governor Snyder had the support of Michigan Tea Party members who know full well drastic measures must be taken to balance the budget.  And success doesn’t come by losing money in the form of film credits that do nothing more than bring more La-La Land entitlement types to rub shoulders with the mafia-run labor unions.

Besides, if the AARP doesn’t like it and it is giving unions heartburn, it must be good.

The audacity of gracelessness and lack of couth exhibited by President Walking Eagle and his monstrous charming wife (emphasis on “monstrous”) have taken them off the short list of those invited to attend the impending royal wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton.

The excuses given for this deliberate snub are exceedingly polite.  All we can say is, “Jolly good!”

Crybaby Barbie’s Warning About Evil Rich Parents

December 4, 2010 By Joan of Snark

Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

At least according to Barbara (“call me Senator”) Boxer, rich parents are evil.  After both of this morning’s tax increase smackdown votes on the Senate floor, crybaby Barbie took to the podium to deliver what was, I’m sure, in her mind at least, a chiding lecture on the failure of that august body to do right by the poor, hapless American people.  (The same people who voted to replace Democrats in Congress in numbers not seen since 1938 but who’s counting?)  In it she sternly told us that if the “wealthy”* were allowed to continue to keep the money they earned by not increasing taxes on them right now, all they’d do with it is “put it into a trust fund for their children”.

Apparently only the “little people” are entitled to look out for their children’s future.  In progressive liberal la-la land it is the responsibility of the rich to look out for everyone else’s children by contributing more and more of their income to overpay some federal bureaucrat to pass it out as entitlements to the vaguely-defined victim…errr..prospective Democrat voter-du-joeur.

Last time I checked it was neither a sin nor against the law to work hard and accumulate large sums of money.  And if people like Crybaby Barbie find having a stash so wrong, it isn’t against the law for them to write a big, fat check to the IRS, either.

But they don’t, do they?

Wealthy:  A squishy, shapeshifting line drawn between those whose income reaches $250,000 or $1 million a year and those whose icome does not; its exact location dependent solely upon the level of desperation felt by a Democrat on any given day.

Criminals Drumming Up Votes For Democrats

“In order for there to be a change to our broken immigration system,” she said, “I believe one has to fight.”

“She” is one Maria Gianni.  Who, as it just so happens, is an illegal immigrant.  A deliberate law-breaker.  A criminal with malice aforethought.

So why are we quoting her?  Because while I’m beyond being surprised at these foreign criminals criticizing American law, I am offended to my core to hear one dare to utter their selfish, cry-baby criticisms accompanied by the word “our”; as if their sorry criminal ass is somehow equal to and has the same rights a legal American citizen.

What’s more, she is quoted (translated from Spanish, to be precise) by an AP writer in the Seattle Times in a soft, fluffy piece about illegal immigrants – aka law-breakers aka criminals – going out and pounding the pavement to drum up support for Democrat candidates.  Candidates who they believe will, of course, embrace them – the illegals, the law-breakers, the criminals – and then simply hand over to them the hard-won fruits of the labors of natural-born and legally-naturalized American citizens.

I hate to break the news to Maria and the other 11,999,999 or so foreign criminals currently sponging off the United States.  There ain’t no “our” here.  The only thing wrong with our immigration laws is the pathetic lack of their enforcement.  You’re a slap in the face to every person who came to these shores legally, swore their allegiance to this beloved land and made a positive contribution to Her well-being.  And those who coddle your ilk should be sent packing right along with you.

Yes, dear readers; this is the man into whose hands a majority of Americans placed their trust to keep this beloved Republic safe in November 2008.  The one who thinks that “higher education” is the solution to so many of our problems.

Apparently he took “higher” literally and lost more than a few brain cells along the way to his alleged graduation.  Or else he believes he’s the American version of Mary Poppins….
