What Ever Happened To A Chicken In Every Pot?

Promise?   Lie?  I report, you decide!

Just today in Sarasota, Fla., the Democratic presidential nominee said that he'd:

  • "give a tax break to 95 percent of Americans who work every day and get taxes taken out of their paycheck every week";
  • "eliminate income taxes on Social Security for seniors making under $50,000";
  • "give homeowners and working parents additional tax breaks";
  • not increase taxes on anyone if they "make under $250,000; you will not see your taxes increase by a single dime –- not your income taxes, not your payroll tax, not your capital gains tax";
  • "end those breaks to companies that ship jobs overseas";
  • "give tax breaks to companies that invest right here in the United States";
  • "eliminate capital gains taxes for small businesses and start-up companies that are the engine of job creation in this country";
  • "create two million new jobs by rebuilding our crumbling roads, and bridges, and schools -- by laying broadband lines to reach every corner of the country";
  • "invest $15 billion a year in renewable sources of energy to create five million new energy jobs over the next decade";
  • "reopen old factories, old plants, to build solar panels, and wind turbines";
  • build "a new electricity grid";
  • "build the fuel efficient cars of tomorrow";
  • "eliminate the oil we import from the Middle East in 10 years";
  • "lower premiums" for those who already have health insurance;
  • "if you don't have health insurance, you'll be able to get the same kind of health insurance that members of Congress give themselves";
  • "end discrimination by insurance companies to the sick and those who need care the most";
  • "invest in early childhood education";
  • "recruit an army of new teachers";
  • "pay our teachers higher salaries, give them more support. But ... also demand higher standards and more accountability";
  • "make a deal with every young person who's here and every young person in America: If you are willing to commit yourself to national service, whether it's serving in our military or in the Peace Corps, working in a veterans home or a homeless shelter, then we will guarantee that you can afford to go to college no ifs ands or buts";
  • "stop spending $10 billion a month in Iraq whole the Iraqis have a huge surplus";
  • "end this war in Iraq";
  • "finish the fight and snuff out al Qaeda and bin Laden";
  • "increase our ground troops and our investments in the finest fighting force in the world";
  • "invest in 21st century technologies so that our men and women have the best training and equipment when they deploy into combat and the care and benefits they have earned when they come home";
  • "No more homeless veterans"; and
  • "no more fighting for disability payments."

Now, about that bridge in Brooklyn!

I Never Thought---Precisely My Dear, You Don't Know How To Think!

And I never thought the American public could be fooled by such an obvious socialist as Obama!  Lady, you need to get your head on straight!

al Qaeda Backs Which Party?

From the following, see if you can tell which party al Qaeda favors in the election.

An al Qaeda leader has called for President George W. Bush and the Republicans to be "humiliated," without endorsing any party in the upcoming U.S. presidential election, according to a video posted on the Internet.

"O God, humiliate Bush and his party, O Lord of the Worlds, degrade and defy him," Abu Yahya al-Libi said at the end of sermon marking the Muslim feast of Eid al-Fitr, in a video posted on the Internet.

Am I surprised?  I know that won't affect the votes of Obamabots, but it sure would me and any thinking American who still considers terrorism an issue.

Global Warming - Dealing with Idiots

The handbook covering how to deal with anthropological global warming fanatics is titled much more delicately than the title of the post, but I prefer to be straightforward.  The guide is relatively short and worth reading. 

The Skeptics Handbook was written by Joanne Nova, who has 15 years of experience in explaining science as a professional.  She cuts through the distractions that global warming fans try to use and forces them to deal with the science rather than the politics and emotions.  

Here are excerpts:

The Skeptics Handbook (pdf)

Science is not a democracy, and natural laws don’t form because a UN committee decreed it.

Rise above the mudslinging in the Global Warming debate. Here are the strategies and tools you need to cut through the red-herrings, and avoid the traps.

There’s a point about cost-benefit here. How many people are we willing to starve in order to protect us from the unproven threat of CO2?

Consensus proves nothing. It only takes one scientist to prove a theory wrong.

Theories fit the facts or they don't. Instead of saying "Which side has more PhD's?” a better question is "Where's the evidence?".

Ask questions

Non believers don’t have to prove anything. Skeptics are not asking the world for money or power. Believers need to explain their case, so let them do the talking. As long as the question you asked doesn’t get resolved, repeat it.

It’s entirely reasonable to ask for evidence. If you are met with dismissive, intimidatory, or bullying behavior, don’t ignore it. Ask them why they’re not willing to explain their case. In scientific discussions, no theory is sacrosant. Taboos belong in religions.

Who would ever think that people supporting man-caused global (mainly liberals) would act ugly, curse you, or call you names?  Why, the author must have anticipated everything!

Obama Mandates

Socialism is better defined by its goals rather than its means to those goals.  For instance, does it matter if redistribution of the wealth is brought about by actual government ownership of the means of production, the technical definition, or by government control of the private means of production--which is Obama's approach?  The result is the same. 

However, Obama's plan is a better plan for government socialists.  Rather than government ownership of business, his plan simply takes over control and takes the rewards of private enterprise, while leaving the risks with the business owners who have to make it work and who are more motivated and forced to be more creative than government management.  Nice.

Consider this a warning of what Obama with a Democratic Congress could do to businesses, especially small businesses, to get that control.  Obama could and likely will mandate many of the following possibilities onto companies.

25 Obama Mandates:

  1. Mandated days off to vote
  2. Mandated paid holidays
  3. Mandated health care insurance (which he still refuses to explain)
  4. Mandated increases in matching social security taxes
  5. Mandated low hiring qualifications
  6. Mandated jobs for employees lost to automation 
  7. Mandated hiring quotas
  8. Mandated minimum wage increases
  9. Mandated wage adjustments for "comparable worth"
  10. Mandated child care programs for employees
  11. Mandated union recognition with no secret ballots
  12. Mandated profit limits and "excess earnings" tax
  13. Mandated "volunteer" social work
  14. Mandated welfare tax credits advanced by companies
  15. Mandated gay marriage benefits
  16. Mandated paid maternity leave for moms and dads
  17. Mandated severance and extended unemployment benefits
  18. Mandated retirement contributions
  19. Mandated redistribution of existing retirement balances
  20. Mandated religious tolerance for Muslims and observance of their holidays
  21. Mandated rehab and continued employment for addicts 
  22. Mandated safety requirments beyond all reason
  23. Mandated fees and taxes for "global warming"
  24. Mandated price controls
  25. Mandated rationing - the best one 

Businesses, particularly small ones, will have their backs broken with mandates.

But, that shouldn't matter to Obama's base, which thinks that it doesn't have to fear for their jobs, as Obama, with a Democratic run Congress, could mandate that business owners forego profits to maintain employment levels--until they are all out of business.  It's all in the name of the common good.  

It's socialism, no matter how it is accomplished, and it's being pushed by people who think that it's government which makes our country great rather than its people--and they are wrong and should be denied their chance for the wrong kind of change.

Snow Blankets London

The first October snow storm since 1922:

Snow fell as the House of Commons debated Global Warming yesterday - the first October fall in the metropolis since 1922. The Mother of Parliaments was discussing the Mother of All Bills for the last time, in a marathon six hour session.

In order to combat a projected two degree centigrade rise in global temperature, the Climate Change Bill pledges the UK to reduce its carbon dioxide emissions by 80 per cent by 2050. The bill was receiving a third reading, which means both the last chance for both democratic scrutiny and consent.

The bill creates an enormous bureaucratic apparatus for monitoring and reporting, which was expanded at the last minute. Amendments by the Government threw emissions from shipping and aviation into the monitoring program, and also included a revision of the Companies Act (c. 46) "requiring the directors’ report of a company to contain such information as may be specified in the regulations about emissions of greenhouse gases from activities for which the company is responsible" by 2012.

Can you say BOONDOGGLE™?

Bawahahahahahahaha!!!

Update:  Florida breaks 150 year old record.

But, Can He Spell?

Sen. Biden has trouble counting, but maybe he can spell potato, so the liberal media lays off of him.

Biden:  "...a three letter word--jobs:  J...O...B...S."

Barack Obama - The Latest and Greatest

Obama is frequently late for Senate hearings.

Maybe his bus runs late.  At least he gets there in time to vote "present."

What Do You Know or Not Know About Obama?

It bothers me that the L.A. Times refuses to release a video tape of Sen. & Mrs. Obama at a party honoring a former mouthpiece for terrorist Yasser Arafat--Rashid Khalidi (aka a respected scholar to the left.)  In addition, I've often wondered about what is in Obama's secret Columbia University thesis and what it might reveal about Obama's true Marxist beliefs, when written at an unguarded time in his life and to a liberal univesity.

There are some things that we know about Obama that already bother me and a lot that we don't know that might really bother me.

Below is a recap from a buddy of ours that might help to expose what the left-wing media intentionally avoids reporting to the public.  

The Obama File

"...I excerpted here an abreviated starting point for you to invoke some thought:"

Original birth certificate -- Not released
Obama/Dunham marriage license -- Not released
Soetoro/Dunham marriage license -- Not released
Soetoro adoption records -- Not released
Besuki School application -- Released
Punahou School records -- Not released
Selective Service Registration -- Released
Occidental College records -- Not released
Passport (Pakistan) -- Not released
Columbia College records -- Not released
Columbia thesis -- Not released
Harvard College records -- Not released
Harvard Law Review articles -- None (maybe 1, unsigned?)
Baptism certificate -- None
Medical records -- Not released
Illinois State Senate records -- None
Illinois State Senate schedule -- Lost
Law practice client list -- Not released
University of Chicago scholarly articles -- None

"Don't believe a word of it (The Obama File)  just because it is presented as fact, but use it as a basis of your own research on the man that may very well become our POTUS and CiC.  ...Above all, remember that it is your DUTY as a citizen to try to become as informed as possible on ALL the candidates and the major issues. ONLY by being informed can you cast a truly responsible vote."

Thanks, Delftsman!  And, thank you, left-wing media--for nothing.
