Built on Lies

Krauthammer hits the nail on the head with his latest piece. I especially enjoy the following:

"The list is long. But the list of causes of the collapse of the financial system does not include the absence of universal health care, let alone of computerized medical records. Nor the absence of an industry-killing cap-and-trade carbon levy. Nor the lack of college graduates. Indeed, one could perversely make the case that, if anything, the proliferation of overeducated, Gucci-wearing, smart-ass MBAs inventing ever more sophisticated and opaque mathematical models and debt instruments helped get us into this credit catastrophe in the first place."

The usual H/T: Matt

More DAISNAID

Typical liberal BS. The "do as I say, not as I do" mentality is clearly running rampant. I have never realized the amount of liberals out there who want to punish us with taxes and then punish us even more if we don't pay... unless of course, you are a nominee of the O and savior.

WaPo reports:

"A Senate committee today abruptly canceled a session to consider President Obama's nomination of Rep. Hilda Solis to be labor secretary in the wake of a report saying that her husband yesterday paid about $6,400 to settle tax liens against his business -- including liens that had been outstanding for as long as 16 years.

The report, by USA Today, came just before the Senate's Health Education Labor and Pensions Committee was slated to meet to consider Solis's nomination, which had been delayed by questions over her role on the board of the pro-labor organization American Rights at Work. A source said that committee members did not learn about the tax issue until today."

Yes, I am a soothsayer.

Long lines for pay checks?

Potential riots?

Added police force with barricades?

Angry mobs of people wanting their money?

Politician not paying out what was promised?

Bureaucratic complacency?

Confusion?

Frustration?

The list goes on...

Welcome to the presidency of B. Hussein Obama.

Dear Mr. Obama

Are the Citizens of the United States going CRAZY?!?

We're just a few weeks away from potentially electing a man that:

1. Hasn't been in political office for more than 10 years.
   
2. Worked closely with a terrorist for over 4 years.
   
3. Associated for over 20 years with an anti-US "pastor" that wed him and baptized his children.
   
4. Voted against banning infanticide more than once.
   
5. Will have direct talks with the highest leaders of anti-American countries.
   
6. Refused to vote on major issues over 129 times.
   
7. Has the most liberal voting record in the US Senate (with his running mate at a close 3rd).
   
8. Has a voting record that supports police raids on homes with weapons and banning the sale of all firearms.
   
9. Worked directly with ACORN - the non-profit group that is currently being investigated by the FBI for voter fraud.
   
10. Collected more money in less time than any other senator from both Fannie and Freddie - the two companies that are dual handedly destroying our economy.
    

Seriously? WTF.

Or is it Barry...

He grew up as Barry.

Then he changed to Barack. 

Who is this Slick Barry?

Just the facts...

Assassination Plot or...?

I don't know how I feel about this article. It just doesn't seem to add up. The chronological events don't seem right... the compliance by the accused seems too easy... the fact that the press is already talking with the "perps"... parading around an ongoing investigation... everything just seems off:

Plot to Kill Obama: Shoot From High Vantage Point

DENVER (CBS4/AP) ―

Denver's U.S. attorney is expected to speak on Tuesday afternoon about the arrests of four people suspected in a possible plot to shoot Barack Obama at his Thursday night acceptance speech in Denver. All are being held on either drug or weapons charges. 

One of those suspects spoke exclusively to CBS4 investigative reporter Brian Maass from inside the Denver City Jail late Monday night and said his friends had discussed killing Obama. 

"So your friends were saying threatening things about Obama?" Maass asked. 

"Yeah," Nathan Johnson replied. 

"It sounded like they didn't want him to be president?" 

"Yeah," Johnson said. 

Maass reported earlier Monday that one of the suspects told authorities they were "going to shoot Obama from a high vantage point using a ... rifle ... sighted at 750 yards." 

Law enforcement sources told Maass that one of the suspects "was directly asked if they had come to Denver to kill Obama. He responded in the affirmative." 

I don't know what about the story is wrong but something seems fishy. Yes, I'm just thinking out-loud and I do take any attempt at another's life as serious but something about this case...

Change we can believe in?

Times-Dispatch 

Each year I get to celebrate Independence Day twice. On June 30, I celebrate my independence day and on July 4, I celebrate America's. This year is special because it marks the 40th anniversary of my independence. 

On June 30, 1968, I escaped Communist Cuba and a few months later, I was in the United States to stay. That I happened to arrive in Richmond on Thanksgiving Day is just part of the story, but I digress. 

I've thought a lot about the anniversary this year. The election-year rhetoric has made me think a lot about Cuba and what transpired there. In the late 1950's, most Cubans thought Cuba needed a change, and they were right. So when a young leader came along, every Cuban was at least receptive. 

When the young leader spoke eloquently and passionately and denounced the old system, the press fell in love with him. They never questioned who his friends were or what he really believed in. When he said he would help the farmers and the poor and bring free medical care and education to all, everyone followed. When he said he would bring justice and equality to all, everyone said 'Praise the Lord.' And when the young leader said, 'I will be for change and I'll bring you change, everyone yelled, 'Viva Fidel!' 

But nobody asked about the change, so by the time the executioner's guns went silent, the people's guns had been taken away. By the time everyone was equal, they were equally poor, hungry, and oppressed. By the time everyone received their free education, it was worth nothing. By the time the press noticed, it was too late, because they were now working for him. By the time the change was finally implemented, Cuba had been knocked down a couple of notches to Third-World status. By the time the change was over, more than a million people had taken to boats, rafts, and inner tubes. You can call those who made it ashore anywhere else in the world most fortunate Cubans. And now I'm back to the beginning of my story. 

Luckily, we would never fall in America for a left-leaning young leader who promises change without asking, 'What change? How will you carry it out? What will it cost America?' 

Would we?

HYPE: The Obama Effect

This movie must be made known. This infection must be stopped.

AMEN.

RED STATE Competition

Apparently the Red State is having a design competition to modify B. Hussein Obama pictures. I thought I'd have a crack* at it considering I really want a prize from their beloved Gear Shop (or perhaps some freelance work). If anyone has any suggestions on how to improve, I'd love to hear them.

Don't forget to go to their site and vote for me!!!

Here's the original version that we have to modify:

Here's my version with some minor predictive enhancements:

*By no means am I a skilled photoshop user. I just play one on the Internet.

Photo Bias

This is clearly a bias in favor of Obama. Look at the two photos used to convey the politicians - one being very inspirational and warm while the other conveys coldness and age.

Feel free to use this image - spread the bias!

BS.
