Political tags - such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth - are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire.

What Crisis?
Topic: Demo Fables
What Crisis? There's no Crisis looming.
The mean spirited Republicans just want to scare people,

Because they don't want lower income families being able to afford to own their own homes.
Democrats in their own words Covering up the Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac Scam that caused our Economic Crisis.

At a 2004 hearing see Democrat after Democrat covering up and attacking the regulations to protect Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (their Cash Cows) that are now destroying our economy because the Democrats let them cheat.

And after 4 years have come and gone,  after all that was warned has come to pass. It seems everything is still the fault of the Mean spirited Republicans.

If you want to see a perfect example of bi-partisan spirit,
if you wish to see how this country can end division, be unified,
listen and read the words of Speaker of the House Pelosi
This is the prepared text of the speech which House Speaker Nancy Pelosi read on the House floor on Monday, September 29, 2008 concerning the $700 billion bailout proposal from the Bush Administration ahead of the House vote.

Addition to text in actual speech, according to the Chicago Tribune:

"For too long this government, eight years, has followed a right-wing ideology of anything goes, no supervision, no discipline, no regulation."

I was particularly impressed at all the credit Pelosi gave to Franks.  Why she was almost as enthusiastic about him, as Maxine Waters was of Frank Raines back in 2004.

If This Is Tuesday
Topic: Demo Fables
There used to be a joke about European multi-city vacation tours that went something like :

If this is Tuesday, this must be Rome.

Politicians suffer under a similiar burden of confusion.

Joe Biden, for instance must have to check his scheduler to be reminded that

If this is Tuesday, I SUPPORT Clean Coal.

It is much simpler for normal Americans, we have core values and know what we do or do not believe in and those beliefs are not altered by crossing State borders,  for instance from Ohio to Pennsylvania.

Campaigning in Pennsylvania coal country on Thursday, the Democratic vice presidential nominee said the government should steer more money to clean coal — a term used to describe a variety of emerging technologies that burn coal for electricity without producing as much pollution.

“I am for clean coal,” he told The Associated Press following a speech in Wilkes-Barre…

The Delaware senator was working a rope line in Maumee, Ohio, on Sept. 17 when a voter asserted that wind and solar energy were “flourishing” in Ohio and then asked Biden why he supported clean coal.

“We’re not supporting clean coal,” Biden replied, putting his hands on the woman’s shoulders. “Guess what? China’s building two every week, two dirty coal plants, and it’s polluting the United States. It’s causing people to die.”

I think the Coal Miner says it all

You Can Fool All Of The People
Topic: Demo Fables

Abraham Lincoln said: "You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time."

There a Lies and there are Lies that transcend to the level of Art,

Recently there has been an excellent example a Lie that contains nothing but the truth. What you will see in the Video was actually spoken, but as you will also see the "meaning" of what was said has been altered by creative editing.

Please View

Rep. Roy Blunt:

McCain stopped the bailout deal

"Clearly, yesterday, his position on that discussion yesterday was one that stopped a deal from finalizing ."
Now that does sound like he (John McCain) jumped right into  a Congressional Deal and brought it to a screeching halt and there may be some truth in that.  However a 9 second cut, might leave some important
things out so, let us look at a longer and more complete version?

Rep. Roy Blunt

Says Democrats Are Uncooperative On Bailout

Ah there are a few words left out?
"Clearly, yesterday, his position on that discussion yesterday was one that stopped a deal from finalizing
that no House Republican in my view would have been for, which means it wouldn't have probably passed the House. "
I don't know what other's might think, but to me what was left out makes a profound difference,
They say the Best Way to Lie is to Tell the Truth, but Selectively. This appears to be a perfect example of that art.
Hat Tip: Big Lizards

Obama Outsourcing
Topic: Demo Fables
 Update: Not all the work is being outsourced.
"When they got in touch with the Democrats the party jumped at the chance. And the coins have proved such a hit that locally produced versions have already been launched to compete with the UK originals"
Just caught this on Hot Air
 Democrats already minting Obama presidential commemorative coin
Now it refers to this article in a Birmingham Newspaper
Birmingham firm strikes Barack Obama presidential coin
Intricate work on the Barack Obama coin

A company in Birmingham's Jewellery Quarter is making commemorative coins for American presidential hopeful Barack Obama.

And if the Democratic candidate is elected to become the most powerful man in the world on November 4, it could open the floodgates for millions of pounds worth of business for the firm.

Windsor, Elizabeth & Windsor has already sold more than 300 limited edition commemorative silver coins to the Democratic Party to hand out to key members of the campaign to elect Obama.

The contract is worth about £100,000 to the company, based on Warstone Lane, Hockley.

And a spokesman for WEW said they expected thousands more coins to be bought if Obama becomes president, which could bring millions into the small firm.

WEW is producing limited edition runs of gold, silver and platinum Obama coins, and plans to produce new ones in other finishes for public consumption if the demand emerges.

The Barack Obama coin

The coins already sold to the Democrats will be presented to the senators, congressmen, governors and other politicians they are being given to within the next two weeks.

There will also be a television advertising campaign launched in the US.

Now of course there has been a lot of comment that this is premature, but what stuck out to me was this,

The contract is worth about £100,000 to the company, based on Warstone Lane, Hockley.

Yep this Newspaper is NOT in Alabama, it is in Great Britain !

The Obama Campaign is OUTSOURCING  this job,

 

Now this comes right on the heels of a statement by Joe Biden that

We’re not supporting clean coal” and “No coal plants here in America” —

Someone should ask the leadership of the UMW for a statement on that position.

However the Obama campaign and a Biden spokesperson have already done one of this, "We were against it before we supported it now" DNC flipflops we are all so familiar with.

 Video: On clean coal, Biden takes bold stand against, um, Obama’s position; Update: McCain launches coalition to protect coal jobs

Boy I tell your what these guys sure stand behind the American Worker don't they?

Maybe Union members should keep their backs up against the Wall when they are around though.

It seems that Gov Palin or maybe I should call her Sister Palin
since I am a member in good standing of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers

is

A UNION MEMBER

The first unless I am mistaken to ever be even nominated to this high an office
instead of someone from the Bosses


So I rewrote the International Ladies Garment Workers
Rally Song in her honor

Boy I would like to get it on youtube LOL


Look for the Union Label
When you go to Vote this Year

If you look for the Union Label
Then your choice is very clear

Palin's been working real hard
Raising 5 kids just like you

So look for the Union Label
Vote what's right for the USA

You Raise Me Up So I Can Stand On Mountains
IMO a most moving and beautiful tribute to the People and City of Cedar Rapids.

 
 I received A DVR disc from a young woman who has been working tiredlessly in the rescue and recovery of our City from the recent flood.

 
She had a concept and a series of photos and had a friend create the disc.
 I wanted to put it on Youtube, but alas I do not have the skills.

 But I was able to upload all of the files into my website directory and have created a page from which it can be viewed.
I regret that it is necessary to download a 16 Meg EXE file so it will be difficult for those with dialup modems and I do not know how it will play for anyone with that type of connection.  Sorry
                               
Cedar Rapids Flood of 2008
 YOU RAISE ME UP
SO I CAN STAND ON MOUNTAINS

Just Pull the D Lever
Topic: Demo Fables
A few nights ago, I was watching a discussion on CNN of all places (Not Fox) about the increases in Oil Prices, Drilling in our Off Shore Fields, ANWAR, the Coal Tar and Shale Oil Deposits out West and Liquification of Coal.

During the portion on Drilling off shore, a Democratic Strategist with a smirky smile pronounced in a self satisfied manner that drilling off shore would not lower the price at the pumps but would only increase the profits of



BIG OIL

I have been thinking

Do I want my hard earned money to increase the profits of some Filthy Capitalistic Greedy Big Oil Compay?

H&*L NO!

I want MY hard earned money to

increase the profits of some Greedy Dictatorship,

Fund Totalitaran Oppression,

Islamofacism,

and Interntational Terrorism BY GOD!!!!

Just think

Without the valiant efforts of some in Congress to stem the tide
towards Energy Independence for the US

My Hard Earned Money might actually go to

Create Jobs for Americans

Reduce the National Trade Deficit

Increase US Tax Revenues

Elimiate our need for MidEast Oil

and lighten the load for Working Families?

Now we just can't have that can we?


So if YOU do not want your hard earned money to
end up in the coffers of some American Big Oil Company

Rather than in the Hands of those who

Truly Hate us, Desire to Destroy Our Way of Life
and see All of Us Dead?

Then you have only ONE choice.

This November march right into that voting booth and


Pull the D is for "Death to America!" Lever!!!!!!!!!!
Or if you have other opinions you might want to listen to this

Neo American Gothic?

Well it seems like one of our Presidential Candidates during a talk with some Marin County Ultra-Rich Constituents
gave a description of his concept of what Flyover America is like

Obama on small-town voters: Bitter, xenophobic, religious;


You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing’s replaced them…And they fell through the Clinton Administration, and the Bush Administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not.
And it’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations


I would expect that when Ole Bama looks at this iconic American Painting

 

 

What he sees is this


Halp Us

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Obama put his foot in it again today, saying that:

And it’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.

So, in celebration of his discovery of my bitterness and anger, here is a photo from my small town today; complete with the general sentiment of those who live here


So my small town agrees (as does the media). Just a bunch of gun toting, bible reading, unemployed hicks waiting for our Jesus to come along and save us from our world of pain and suffering.

It doesn’t bug me that Obama thinks this about small town folks (is anyone -really- surprised that he thinks this?), but that he doesn’t even have the audicity (of hope) to tell small town folks to their faces that he wants to spread his message. Hey, Obama, if you are gonna bring hope to these downtrodden people, I suggest you begin them on their 12 step journey; help them see that they are xenophobic protectionist gun toting bible thumpers who stroke their rifle because jesus tells them too. Help them see the error of their ways. But do it to their face, not to a bunch of billionaires in San Francisco.

Hallelujah!
 

I Can Haz Crypto-Marxism?

CNN's Balanced Coverage Includes Three Panelists Who All Claim Obama Didn't Mean What He Obviously Meant:

Bonus points to Jack Cafferty for likening the same economic desperation that drives Pennsylvanians to Jesus to the poverty that drives Saudis to Al Qaeda:







Actually, Jack Cafferty and Jeffrey Toobin both get doubleplus bonus points for first claiming that Obama never meant to imply that economic privation drives people to Jesus, firearms and xenophobia, and then immediately adding "But Obama's right, economic privation does drive people to Jesus, firearms, and xenophobia."

Ummm.... Jack and Jeffey, I know you're really super-smart guys, being on TV and all, but I'm afraid if this is as "simple" and "obvious" as you assert, you're going to have to choose between the defenses 1) he didn't mean anything so patently offensive and absurd and 2) but by the way he's 100% dead-bang balls-on right.

Fair and balanced, CNN! I love how they focus almost exclusively on the "bitterness" remark (just as Our Lord and Savior Barack Obama decreed,, so it was heralded, so it shall be) and also also accept, entirely uncritically, Obama's explanation that when he said that small-town Americans are driven to xenophobia and hatred of outsiders, he meant that as a good thing

Sense of Honor

The Few The Proud

 

It was the sound of machine guns that woke me that night all those years ago.  Machine gun fire and tracers lighting up the night sky.  I was 8 years old my Father was in the Navy and we were stationed on an island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, called appropriately Midway Island.

I do not ever recall being so scared in my entire life, but when I saw the base Marines running toward the beach, I felt safe. I knew that they and my Dad would never let anything bad happen to me.

I wish every American could have the experience of knowing deep in their soul what it means to have these brave men and women standing guard protecting us.

I have never forgotten how I felt that night.

I want to thank Michelle Malkin for reminding me with her Sunday night inspiration
