A Nod To The Gods

Following my last post about Holders letter to Kansas, I was thinking about all the snide remarks I made, and if maybe I should tone it down a bit. I know that my site is frequented by the same department whose leader I just called a poodle.

Um, no, I won’t stop.

It’s not that I hate government, it is the fact that the government in its current form is to big and out of control. To make an analogy look to the education districts of our public schools, since 1979 the administrative branch is 700 times bigger than it was, while the teacher and pupil growth rate stands at 200 percent in that same period. So what to glean from that, the same thing we glean from the federal government. To many bureaucrats and not enough teaching. To big for its own good or ours.

I understand that since our government began, people chasing power wanted to get involved in or in bed with the politicians. A natural occurrence of an aggressive Type A personality like most business owners or politicians, (back in the day), had in common. Powerful friends could guarantee contracts and favors much the same as we have now. The problem is, back then becoming a public servant was considered a privilege and a national duty.
Now it’s like winning the lottery, because in a lot of ways, it is. If you make it to a position of power such as a Mayor or Governor you are going to be paid well, if you make it to Congress you have set yourself up for life, and the longer you stay, the wealthier you will become, make to the White House, even better. And that, has created the monster we have now.

The United States is a huge complex country, with a multitude of problems to be dealt with, but as with the education bureaucrats in cities all over the country, you have X amount of politicians calling the shots, they have thousands of appointees helping them legislate/dictate the laws of the land, then you have millions bureaucrats wielding the sword of the aforementioned group. And all of these people get pad better than the private sector with pensions and benefits unimaginable to Joe Public.

Now add progressive liberals to the mix and disaster is just around the corner. They would tax their own mother into the poor house if they hadn’t already given her a six figure salary and appointed her to Czar of Poor Houses.

So yes, we need government, it just needs to be downsized about 40% and until something positive happens along those lines I’m gonna keep bitchin’ to whoever will listen.

And I don’t want to hear any shit about Obama inherited this economy, Bush tried to regulate Fannie and Freddie, Democrats stopped him.

Liberals are idiots, and this particular writer is as useful an idiot as they come. I got it from Ace and you can get to the link here. I choose not to link to liberal sites, gives them way to much encouragement. A Mr. Lee Siegel’s perfect America, without those pesky red states of course.

…Just think what America would look like without its mostly Southern states. (We could retain “America”: they could call themselves “Smith & Wesson” or “Coca-Cola” or something like that.) Universal health care. No guns. Strong unions. A humane minimum wage. A humane immigration policy. High revenues from a fair tax structure. A massive public-works program. Legal gay marriage. A ban on carbon emissions. Electric cars. Stronger workplace protections. Extended family leave from work in case of pregnancy or illness. Longer unemployment benefits. In short, a society on a par with most of the rest of the industrialized world-a place whose politics have finally caught up with its social and economic realities.

 

I am trying to figure out who works after the extended family leave, the longer unemployment benefits…oh wait, humane immigration, the immigrants will do the work at the massive public works program. And the unions will have no problem with the universal health care, and businesses will stick around to pay those “fair taxes” and humane minimum wages.  Unbelievable.

What a damn embarrassment our elected officials. Getting elected/re-elected is the ONLY thing they are concerned about.

The US government does not want a border fence built; the political class does not want a border fence built; the media class, virtually indistinguishable from the political class, does not want a border fence built.
On the other hand, 75% of the public does want a border fence built.
Obviously, the political/media class wins, as usual.
Even if a law required building a fence — set specific requirements of how many feet of fencing must be constructed per month — the government would not build it. They would spend endless hours pretending to “plan” the fence or study it for environmental impacts.
So that’s what they’d do if the law says that a fence has to be built.
What will they do if the law doesn’t even require a fence, but only the development of a “Fencing Strategy”?

Bear in mind, “no fence at all” is a perfectly allowable option in the range of possible “Fencing strategies” one might develop.

The whole thing is a con to deliver amnesty but convince people it’s not amnesty. And as many have said, the public would be willing to entertain the possibility of a mass-amnesty contingent on real border enforcement, including a fence. But the amnestias simply refuse that.
They are committed to the same position they’ve always held, Amnesty Forever and Amnesty Only.

A Nod to Ace over Ace of Spades for the story

Total bullshit. If he had been an “Enemy Combatant” it goes military, now he gets a tax payer funded liberal lawyer….good God what have we become?

Elite defense lawyer Judy Clark, who last defended Jared Loughner, will be assigned to defend Djohar Tsarnaev in preparation for a death penalty trial.  Clark will be paid by taxpayers.

A Nod to Weasel Zippers for the heads up. 

Jared Loughners lawyer, disgusting!
 

Artist rendition certainly does her justice, to bad justice may be blind in a bad way.

Can you say Trayvon? Liberal media ass hats.
 

….and she has more than most republicans.
