The Outcry For Gun Control Begins

The Outcry For Gun Control Begins

Comments 3 comments

I am not trying to make light of the terrible tragedy in Colorado, but I am trying to point out that there are people out there that have some mental disorder that causes them to do these things. Right, Left, Middle, Black, White, Yellow, it does not matter. They are going to do something that there misguided brain tells them to do. You can’t stop them with gun control.

If they can’t get one legally they will get one illegally. Same thing with criminals and gangs, they will find a way. So the politicians want the guns and the enraged Americans that are disgusted by this random act of violence will call for bans on guns, politicians will go ape shit, and some new bullshit gun law will be passed. Same thing happened in Arizona by the same type of deranged individual.

You can’t stop crazy, you can’t predict crazy, and the best thing to do after the fact is the death penalty for crazy.

How many countries have given a dime to the U.S.? They should not get anything from us. What level have we sunk to that we give VERIFIED terrorists  anything? Get the hell out and let them self implode. I could give a shit less. And so should you. They get what they deserve!

The House agreed to a $650 million cut from Pakistan military aid Wednesday night as Republicans sought to tamp down demands for still deeper reductions because of conservative anger at the Islamabad government.

Rep. Ted Poe (R-Texas) first came to the floor demanding a $1.3 billion cut and initially won the endorsement of Rep. Bill Young (R-Fla.), who was managing the defense bill on the floor. But ultimately a cut of $650 million was settled upon with the intention of reducing Pakistan’s funds by half.

Rep. Norman Dicks (D-Wash.), the ranking Democrat on the House Appropriations Committee, appeared to agree to the compromise, since it was approved by a voice vote. And the end result is to conform with prior cuts agreed to this spring as part of a defense authorization bill.

Nonetheless, the fresh cut follows on Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s recent efforts to bridge the gap with Pakistan. And the combination of Poe’s inflammatory rhetoric and Young’s cheerful endorsement was not a reassuring for the Obama administration as it tries to rebuild relations.

“It is time for a new strategy with Pakistan,” said Poe, who described Pakistan as a “Benedict Arnold” nation. “More money is not going to solve the problem. … Pakistan is playing America.”

Once again it’s the Chicago way. You win an office, you own the world. No wonder she is campaigning so hard. She would have to use her own money on vacations if  BamBam doesn’t get re-elected.

(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and fights government corruption, announced today that it has obtained records from the United States Air Force and the United States Secret Service detailing Michelle Obama’s February 2012 President’s Day weekend ski vacation to Aspen, Colorado, with her two daughters.

Judicial Watch obtained the records pursuant to a May 31, 2012, lawsuit against both government agencies. Among the highlights from the records are: The total cost for the Aspen ski vacation was at least $83,182.99.
Bill for the U.S. Secret Service, including accommodations at the Fasching Haus deluxe condominium and the Inn at Aspen, was $48,950.38.
The cost for the flight, per official DOD published hourly rates, was $22,583.70. 
Food and miscellaneous on-flight items cost $235.44. 
The cost for rental cars totaled $6,442.23.

Key details, including flight records for the Secret Service detail and the names of individuals who accompanied Mrs. Obama on the vacation, were redacted from the documents with the exception of two staffers. One was Meredith Koop, her personal assistant and style advisor, the other was her scheduler Kristen Jarvis.

As reported by the Aspen Daily News on February 18, 2012:
First Lady Michelle Obama arrived in Aspen on Friday afternoon and is here with her daughters for a ski vacation. Few details about her trip were available. Sources said she is staying at the home of Jim and Paula Crown, owners of the Aspen Skiing Co. She is reportedly skiing at Buttermilk today, where the Crowns, of Chicago, own a home on the Tiehack side.

FoxNews.com noted that the trip was the 16th vacation in three years taken by the Obama family.  Judicial Watch first asked for the travel documents on February 21, 2012.

“No wonder we had to file a lawsuit in federal court and wait six months to get basic information on Michelle Obama’s luxury Aspen vacation,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “The costs of the Obama family ski weekend are staggering. These high-priced luxury vacations, and the lack of transparency about them, are beginning to seem like an abuse of office.”

Judicial Watch previously obtained documents from the United States Air Force and the United States Secret Service detailing costs associated with Michelle Obama’s controversial August 2010 vacation to Spain. According to a Judicial Watch analysis, the records indicate a total combined cost of at least $467,585.

Judicial Watch also obtained documents detailing costs a June 21-27, 2011, trip taken by Michelle Obama, her family and her staff to South Africa and Botswana. Judicial Watch received mission expense records and passenger manifests for the Africa trip that described costs of $424,142 for the flight and crew alone. Other expenses, such as off-flight food, transportation, security, etc. were not included.

Former Navy Seal Starts PAC Against Obama

OUTSTANDING ! A Nod to Drudge for the report.

“Navy SEAL’s, Special Operations Personnel and Veteran’s across America have been outraged since Barack Obama conveniently took credit for killing Osama Bin Laden for political gain,” a statement announcing the loss of SOFA said. “The active duty military has no voice as they are forbidden to publicly engage in the political campaign process and it is career suicide for senior military leaders to speak out against the President.”

Damn straight, and Obama and his hit men have no problem doling out punishments for those who go rogue against his regime.

“The President has failed and he is jeopardizing the safety of our troops, their families and our National security for political gain. Obama has exposed the identity of special operations units, leaked classified information, and limited the rules of engagement of forces on the ground,” said Mr. Zinke. “For those who have taken an oath to defend the Constitution against all enemies, both foreign and domestic, it is a call of duty to take back America from a Commander-in-Chief that is incapable of understanding the sacrifices that have been made for the values that have made America great.”

Mr. Zinke has served in the Montana State Senate since 2009. According to Afghanistan and Iraq Veterans for Congress, a political action committee dedicated to electing Republican vets, Mr. Zinke was a member of SEAL Team Six, the elite unit that killed Bin Laden, from 1990 until 1993 and from 1996 until 1999. He held several titles including Task Force Commander. In 2004, In 2004, was named “Deputy and acting Commander, Combined Joint Special Operations Task Force-Arabian Peninsula in support of Operation IRAQI FREEDOM” in that capacity he “led a force of over 3500 Special Operations personnel in Iraq in the conduct of 360 combat patrols, 48 Direct Action missions, and hundreds of sensitive operations” and “was responsible for killing or capturing 72 known enemy insurgents and terrorists.”

Obama: Successful Business Is A Product Of Government

Obama: Successful Business Is A Product Of Government

Whaaa? This is at the base of what Obama believes. 

Of course he believes this, it’s all he knows. He fashions himself as the ultimate businessman, and the product he sales is being paid for by a captive audience, the collective that is not asked to buy his product, but who is by law, forced to buy under the American tax code. It would be easier to stomach if that was all we had to pay was salaries. The problem is, he want’s us all to pay more for those who pay nothing. If he was really running a business, he would go broke. You can’t pay wages to half for working, and half for doing nothing and still keep a business going, the math just doesn’t work.

So, according to Obama, the American businessman has been succesful due to the influence of the federal government.
Really? I would argue it is the other way around. Successful business pays the highest amount in taxes, and half of their employees taxes as mandated by government just for the luxury of being their own boss. And they make their profits in spite of government and the intrusive policies that they impose.

What is sad is that business pays taxes to keep government running, and if Obama or anybody else in government knew how to run a business, you would think that our government would be the strongest and most fiscally responsible entity in the world. So how is it that we are 16 trillion in debt? How is it that we are imposing MORE taxes. How is it that the companies that have paid in the most, and the individuals who started them are being asked to pay more? If the Federal Government is the reason companies are successful, then government must be the best run business of all time right? Isn’t that what is being said here?
Well that is what Obama is saying, he is saying that massive government makes America a better place, and that his political acumen is smarter than say, Bill Gates.

Well I call bullshit. Obama has NO IDEA of what he is doing. He has squandered billions if not trillions on what? What product has he sold, (with our own money), has been successful? The stimulus? Cash for Clunkers? Investments in green energy? If any of these were a stand alone private sector business they would have failed, and failed dramatically. But since Obama runs his business with someone elses money, he can blame the economy or George Bush for his failures. Besides, it’s not his money he is investing, it’s not his kids welfare on the line, he is not going to lose his home if his business decisions don’t work. That is for the sheeple, the millions who pay into his business of government.

I wouldn’t let him run a lemonade stand, let alone give him the keys to White House again, which I am surprised is not in foreclosure.

How Do You Justify This? Fed’s Say Foodstamps Good For The Economy.

How Do You Justify This? Fed’s Say Foodstamps Good For The Economy.

Who the fuck pays for it? Hello!

There are going to be the people who REALLY need this program. But check out the video..these guys seem healthy enough to get a job. Read the justification after the video..if you can stomach reading it.

 

The federal government has been making the case that, with food stamps, “everyone wins,” according to literature meant to promote the federal social welfare program. The argument is that accepting food stamp benefits helps to promote economic growth for the communities hosting those recipients.

“Each $5 dollars in new SNAP benefits generates almost twice that amount in economic activity for the community,” states the federal government pamphlet. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is the official name of the food stamps program. “Everyone wins when eligible people take advantage of benefits to which they are entitled,” states the pamphlet, which is written and distributed by the United States Department of Agriculture, the federal entity responsible for the program.
“Even a small increase in SNAP participation can have a substantial impact,” the website states. “If the national participation rate rose 5 percentage points, 1.9 million more low-income people would have an additional $1.3 billion in benefits per year to use to purchase healthy foodand $2.5 billion total in new economic activity would be generated nationwide.”

The key here is that the federal government is encouraging greater, not less, participation in the program. And under a section titled, “Why does increasing participation in SNAP make sense for your community?,” the government states: 

SNAP Generates Economic Activity

SNAP brings Federal dollars into communities in the form of benefits which are redeemed by SNAP participants at local stores. These benefits ripple throughout the economies of the community, State, and Nation. For example:

Every $5 in new SNAP benefits generates a total of $9.20 in community spending.
Every additional dollar’s worth of SNAP benefits generates 17 to 47 cents of new spending on food.
On average, $1 billion of retail food demand by SNAP recipients generates 3,300 farm jobs.

In fiscal year 2009, the average monthly SNAP benefit per household was approximately $272. These benefits, funded by Federal dollars, create business when they are redeemed at your local food retailers. Eighty-six percent of benefits, totaling $25 billion, were redeemed at the nation’s 35,000 supermarkets. The remaining benefits, totaling $3.6 billion, contribute to the viability of 121,000 other firms which include grocery stores, convenience stores, combination stores, farmer’s markets, and other retail food stores; plus wholesalers and meal services.

And another USDA food stamps document,  ironically titled “Building a Healthy America: A Profile of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program,” suggests that despite some people not wanting to participate in the program due to “a sense that benefits are not needed,” more people should change their mind–and sign up for the social welfare program.

Why Did Romney Speak At The NAACP?

Why Did Romney Speak At The NAACP?

I have been trying to wrap my head around what benefit he would get by speaking in this hostile environment. After hearing all of the race baiters and Obama apologists out there, I think I get it.
Basically a brilliant move to show that he is concerned about the plight of the african american who is being pigeon holed into poverty by handouts that they gladly accept and become reliant on.

Sometimes the truth hurts and the NAACP has become complicit in its empowerment of the nanny state. They should be all hands on deck trying to solve the problem of minority poverty and unemployment, yet when faced with th truth, they boo and lash out to the bootlicking liberal media. shameful really.
A few examples:

If I were a political cynic, I’d wonder whether the Romney campaign wanted to be booed at NAACP. After the speech, Mayor Kasim Reed of Atlanta, an Obama supporter, said that was exactly the point. Romney’s aim, he said, was to appear as a bold leader who could tell hard truths. “I think his statement was more a political stunt,” Reed said.

Julian Bond, the noted civil rights leader and former head of the NAACP, echoed the legislators, telling HuffPost, “He is definitely not his father.” Bond said he did not see Romney’s appearance as genuine outreach to the African American community.
“He went there to bait us,” Bond said. He argued that Romney deliberately sparked boos by referring to “Obamacare,” which Bond said many African Americans regard as pejorative.
“He wanted to be able to go to some of the independents he needs to get elected and tell them, ‘See? I stood up to the Negroes,’” Bond said.

Last night on MSNBC, host Lawrence O’Donnell said that Romney’s NAACP speech was part of a Republican ‘southern strategy’ used to appeal to ‘racial and racist voting.’ Speaking to TheGrio.com’s Goldie Taylor, O’Donnell said, “Tell me, Goldie, if I’m being too cynical, to think that the Romney campaign actually went in that room today with the hope of getting booed, at least three times, because they want the video of their candidate being booed by the NAACP to play in certain racist precincts where that will actually help them.”

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Wednesday that Mitt Romney made a “calculated move” to get booed during his address earlier in the day before the NAACP.

“I think it was a calculated move on his part to get booed at the NAACP convention,” she told Bloomberg TV.

Clayola Brown, the member of the NAACP’s National Board of Directors who invited Romney to speak, said the presumptive Republican presidential nominee should not have used unemployment numbers to try to turn the crowd against Obama.

“It was insensitive and quite demeaning as a matter of fact,” Brown told The Washington Examiner after Romney exited the stage. “Certainly we are aware of what the numbers are and the impact is in our communities. It’s the dialogue used that we find insulting.”
