Big Government : Friday Free-For-All: Shame Edition

Fri, 19 Feb 2010 16:11:35 +0000

Speaking of shame. Here's the difference between Tiger and Obama. Tiger apologizes to the world for only his own behavior.

Big Government : Coffee and Markets: Obama's Big New Bank Fee

Thu, 14 Jan 2010 17:03:21 +0000

Much as I loath this fee concept - if Obama is going to implement one, where's the fee on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and Congress?

Here you go: http://www.actblue.com/page/saveourelections http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/1108/The_S... http://www.cnsnews.com/public/Content/article.asp... Think about how the Dems in MA are going to delay certifying the election if Brown wins. And look at who their AG is.

Big Government : How I Spent My Hawaiian Vacation

It wouldn't matter if he went on vacation if he Actually Answered The Phone at 3AM and Handled The Situation. He didn't. We have an administration made up of career politicians, academics, and government bureaucrats who are hard wired to think they are entitled to a vacation during the winter holidays. Nobody was home. The lack of seriousness should be alarming to all Americans, regardless of ideological bent.

That 17% will push government over the 50% mark. Add in the Secretary of State project to ensure permanent one party rule, and we are nearing a complete Progressive Coup d'Etat.

Big Government : How I Spent My Hawaiian Vacation

I heard on FNC this that the Obama Administration is now spinning his golf game (after learning of the passenger thwarted terrorist attack) as being something Obama didn't Want To Do, but felt obligated to do. He hadn't planned on playing golf - but did so to show that the U.S. was not affected by the attack. Unbelievable. Conspicous Consumption is a Sacrifice to the Obamas.

Big Government : Don't Worry, It's Only $400-600 Million to Try Terrorists in NYC

Cost? The government could turn this into a revenue opportunity by auctioning off the "hunting" rights.

Donchaknow? This is a STIMULUS program for NYC. For the $1T or so that will get spent is going to save or create 17 jobs.

Big Government : Budget Busting Compensation Packages Plague States

Fri, 8 Jan 2010 16:57:00 +0000

It's a circular congame. Democrat Politicians give huge compensation packages to public sector workers (unionized). The unionized workers make huge campaign donations to the Dems. The reelected Dems funnel more money into the union coffers and expand unionized government employment (note the drive to unionize TSA now). Big businesses suck this up because they are bought with earmarks and other government funding, as well as the regulations which prevent smaller, nimbler competitors from growing. Rand was right - our country is under assault but Cronyist Looters.

Big Government : More Christmas Bombing Fallout: Hillary’s Visa Problem

Fri, 8 Jan 2010 16:54:05 +0000

I'm not at all surprised. None of these people, with a few exceptions such as Nope-olitano, have executive experience. Executives are "on deck" at all times (I'm a corporate office - haven't had a real vacation in years). The Obama administration is made up of career politicians, academics, and bureaucrats. They are hardwired to think they deserve weeks of vacation during the winter holidays. Nobody was minding the store. It's appalling, but they all get 10 Points For Consistency.

One of the best ever song snippets (from Suffragette City): Wham, Bam, Thank you M'am.

Big Government : Dubai Default Throws World Markets into Disarray

Yep. Rather like Las Vegas after the bust of the housing bubble.

Big Government : Dubai Default Throws World Markets into Disarray

Fri, 27 Nov 2009 19:17:27 +0000

Dubai has a ton of oil. They have assets to settle the debt, if necessary. The real reaction will be next week after hedge funds have checked their exposure, methinks.

Big Government : Calif. Attorney General Offers Incoherent, Troubling Answers When Asked About ACORN Doc Dump

Fri, 27 Nov 2009 19:14:06 +0000

Look at the bright side - his support of ACRON just may cost him the gubernatorial election, and we might get a decent fiscal conservative instead.

Big Government : Your Move Mr. Holder: ACORN Received $200,000 From Justice Department

It's a beautiful thing. Just beautiful.

Big Government : Whistleblower Video Reveals SEIU Ballot Fraud

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 22:56:54 +0000

Actually, they won't give terrorists Maranda rights. Instead, they'll use the precedent of a court allowing the disregard of such rights (watch, this will happen in the KSM trial) against U.S. citizens.

It's also very telling the Great Lengths to which the Left will go to make sure Minority Women stay on the reservation. Just sayin'.

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:10:14 +0000

Why should this bother Obama? - it sounds like how ACORN coerced many people to vote for him.

Big Government : Breitbart to AG Holder: Investigate ACORN or We'll Release More Tapes Just Before 2010 Election

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:05:27 +0000

Yep. It's good to see somebody threaten to use the Pimp Hand against Obamessiah and his minions.

Big Government : Obama to Taxpayers: America Needs More Picnic Tables

Correction. They won't be called "Obama Poverty Camps" - they'll be called "Obama Centers for Hope & Change".
