Political Rants from the Right

Alrighty then - Pauly is back from a wonderful vacation!  No - I wasn’t ignoring you guys out there - I was just staying really busy being on vacation and enjoying the holiday season.  I hope you all had a great time - I know I did!  I really hate to say it - but - I didn’t even think about this blog once while I was gone.  Okay - maybe a couple times - but - not long enough to want to come out here and post something up.  My mind and head were too in to the moment to really think about posting on politics and all the other shit that is going on in the world right now.

Well - Now that Israel is on fire again and that whackjob in Iran is making threats again - it’s going to be a very interesting 2009.  I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that the U.N. considers Israel’s response to the terrorist bombings as “disproportionate.”  I was listening to someone that was filling in for Rush the other day as I was driving back and he made a very good point…if a midget were poking you in the ass with a needle all the time what is your response going to be?  Are you going to just tell him to stop or are you going to kick his ass if he keeps doing it?  Of course such a response is going to be “disproportionate.” What the hell is Israel supposed to do while those Islamofascists continue to send missiles in to Israeli territory killing innocents completely unprovoked?

Anyway - just wanted to let everyone know I’m back and ready to go!  Heres to a great New Year!

Well - Merry Christmas!  I know it’s been a while since I posted up something - been kinda busy lately with Christmas fast approaching.  So - while I was doing my regular cruising - I came across this story - it looks like there are a whole lot more out there lining up in the welfare line trying to get a handout bailout from the government.

More companies lining up for piece of bailout fund

WASHINGTON (AP) - A trio of reports due out Tuesday are expected to paint a bleak picture of the nation’s housing market and the broader economy, as the deepening recession sends more companies lining up for a piece of the government’s $700 billion bailout fund.

Wow. Didn’t see that coming! But, what pisses me off the most about this story is a statement from that dickhead Barney Frank - you know the one - the asshole that helped cause this whole mess:

Barney Frank, chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, said Monday he is preparing legislation to require that some of the bailout money be spent for specific purposes, such as stemming foreclosures and reducing mortgage rates. Frank is pushing to get the second half of the $700 billion rescue fund released next month, before President-elect Barack Obama is inaugurated.

Frank said his legislation would include a version of a plan, supported by Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. Chairman Sheila Bair, to spend $24 billion to give lenders financial incentives to modify more loans and help more borrowers keep their homes. Bair has estimated it could prevent 1.5 million foreclosures.

His proposal also would include a measure, under consideration by Treasury, to use government-controlled mortgage companies Fannie Mae (FNM) and Freddie Mac (FRE) to reduce mortgage rates to 4.5 percent or lower to stimulate more home buying.

Frank also wants to revamp the Hope for Homeowners program, which was launched Oct. 1. It was intended to let 400,000 troubled homeowners swap risky loans for conventional 30-year fixed-rate loans with lower rates. The early results have been disappointing, with only 312 applications so far, and officials are looking at ways to expand the program’s use.

Screw you, you fat bastard! Let those lenders foreclose on those homes. This is just more damned government interference trying to keep people in homes they never should have gotten in the first place. What about the rest of us in this country who have played by the rules? We bought the homes we could afford. We got the right loans for our budgets. We continue to pay our mortgages on time. Now - you want to modify the loans for those deadbeats that shouldn’t be in a home to begin with using my money?

I don’t want a handout. I don’t want my home loan modified. I want you to keep your freaking mitts off my money and let those chips fall where they may. If those people can’t afford the homes - let the banks do what they’re supposed to do - foreclose! You are creating a damned welfare state by bailing out regular people who made some stupid mistakes because of their own idiocy. It is NOT government’s job to protect the people from their own stupidity.

Hmmm…seems like Mr. Obamessiah has a lot of criminal friends these days!  First it was his scumbag slumlord friend Rezko, then his scumbag politician friend Kilpatrick, and now his buddy the Governor of his own state !  With friends like these, Ayers, Wright, Pfleger, Farrakhan, Talbott, Johnson, and Raines - oh I am so absolutely sure that there is no corruption at all tied to the likes of Obama is there?

There is no possible way in hell you can tell me that The Obamessiah is no way at all linked to any of these people or the corruption that surrounds them.  Who the hell is protecting this guy?  It just absolutely amazes me that you can surround yourself with these kinds of people and none, absolutely none, of that shit ever sticks to you?  Someone out there is doing one helluva job keeping his name out of all of this because - you know he is in just as deep as all of them.  The only thing he has going for him right now is that once he becomes President - the only one’s allowed to investigate and charge him will be the Supreme Court and Congress through the DOJ - AND - you know that the Democratic Congress will never investigate him.

I’m sorry - but - I’m not convinced that he’s not connected and not corrupt.  He was raised in this environment of corruption that is Illinois and Chicago.  The only thing missing is the Mob boss!  —- oh…wait…that’s it  HE’S THE BOSS!!!

Response to my commentors - sorry - but - for some reason having difficulties leaving comments again - so that you guys won’t think I’m ignoring you - just gonna have to post them up here:

Truth - thanks for stopping in and commenting - however - I don’t see what you’re seeing.  Obama is moving inthe wrong direction - and he hasn’t even taken office yet.  He’s already talking about increasing spending beyond anything that any other administration has done before - and we’re in an economic downturn.  The only way for him to spend more money that we don’t have is to raise taxes.

Hey 3D - How ’bout the Stillers!  If it weren’t for our D we’d probably have lost that game.  Good thing Romo choked.  Now - c’mon - Obama and Bloggy have been connected going back to 1996.  Bloggy was on Obama’s campaign staff when he was running for Senator and then Obama rubbed his back by endorsing him for Governor in 2002 and 2006.  I’m sorry - but - when you have Obama’s own campaign manager stating just 2 weeks ago that Obama and Bloggy have been talking about the vacated seat and then Obama comes out today saying they didn’t - I smell a cover up.

Allykat - Given he grew up in the corrupt Chicago political machine - I say yes sir 100%

Mayorofnowhere - let’s see - Palin has only know Stevens for 2 years only because she just recently became the Governor and had to deal with him.  I wouldn’t call them friends.  On the other hand - every individual I named up there has been friends with Obama for at least 10 years except the good Rev’s for 20 years.  No comparison.

PoliticalAnimal - you’re right - he deserves it.  Idiot!

I thought with the election of an African-American that this was supposed to be proof that perhaps America as a whole has elevated itself above race and racism!  Nope - it seems that it’s still okay for African-Americans to be outright and out front with their racism:

Congressman:  Obama’s Senate Replacement Be Black

Yup - that’s right - an elected, wait - a BLACK elected official came right out and made this racist statement - in fact - he said “it would be a “national disgrace” if Obama’s seat were not filled by an African American. Oh, it should also be noted that Congressman Rush is an ex-Black Panther.

What do you think would happen if, let’s say, Bill Clinton came out and said - Hillary’s replacement MUST be a WHITE WOMAN?  Or, what if Congressman Castle from Delaware came out and point blank said - Joe Biden’s seat MUST be filled with a WHITE MAN!  There would be a national uproar by all African-Americans in this country.  Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton would be DEMANDING the resignation of those Congressman and would be all over the news and talk shows denouncing such “hate speech.”  Why is it that blacks can be openly racist and get away with it?  Where is the outcry?  Why isn’t anyone demanding Congressman Rush’s resignation?

Why hasn’t Obama come out and denounced this clearly racist statement?  I thought Obama was supposed to be a unifying individual?  If he were, he’d be the first one to come out and call that statement what it is - racist.  He needs to come out and say that the most qualified individual, regardless of race or gender should be appointed.  Why isn’t Obama stepping up?

Oh - that’s right - I forgot - only white’s are racist.  Hogwash!

I saw this post over at Vulcan’s Hammer - Ouch! It is now official–Recession .  In it he links to a report from the LA Times that  states the National Bureau of Economic Research announced that the U.S. has been in a recession since December of 2007.

Technically, we are supposed to be in a recession when there is a decline of GDP in two consecutive quarters.  According to the report, the NBER uses additional data including employment data.  The good part is that this is a non-governmental, private organization doing this study and putting out the report - because - had this been a government funded (taxpayer funded) report - I would have to question why we are spending the money to have somebody report something that we already know!

Times have been tough for a very large number of people for a very long time.  Layoffs and the unemployment rate have been gradually increasing over the last year.  Homes have been foreclosed on since last July and the number of foreclosures continue to rise.  Overall consumer spending has been decreasing gradually over the past year - partly due to the energy costs - partly due to the fact that unemployment has gone up.

This might be news to those who haven’t been paying attention - but - for those of us who have been watching and consider themselves to be fiscal conservatives and watching the way the politicians have been screwing over businesses the past year and spending out of control, and now, they’re just printing money like crazy - well - this is just one of those “No Duh” or more appropriately - No Shit Sherlock!  And..you wasted how much of that non-profit money putting this study together?!?!?

Nope - not talking about that outrage going on in Mumbai - although - that is over as well - Thank God!  Apparently, the plan there had been in the making for over a year and they planned on killing over 5,000 people.  And, you guys on the left think that Islamofascists are nothing to worry about?  I figured enough bloggers have picked up on those stories since it started 3 days ago - I would report on other stuff.

What I’m talking about is that attempt by Al Franken to steal the election up in Minnesota by asking for voter information - which is so against our constitution, it’s not even funny.  Apparently, there are some smart judges up in Minnesotata.  They ruled against Franken saying that a.) the canvassing boards have already verified the rejected absentee ballots and therefore they are not subject to the recount (as it is supposed to be) and they rejected his request for the names, addresses, and phone numbers of the voters who voted by absentee ballot.  There is absolutely no reason inhell for any politician to have the names of voters and who they actually voted for.  This goes againts our voting privacy rights.  Oh..wait..that does sound kinda familiar doesn’t it?

Isn’t Obama planning on doing the same thing for the Unions?  Isn’t he planning on doing away with the secret ballots for unionizing?  It would make sense that Franken would believe he has access to voter ballots, names, addresses, and phone numbers if Obama is about to hand the same thing over to the Unions.

In any case, it’s a great day in Minnesota and in the U.S. when idiots like Franken get rejected for being such an idiot to think he could get away with something like that.

Is anyone out there paying attention?  I only hope this is just propaganda being sent out by the Iranians and that they really aren’t as far advanced as they say they are - cuz - I’m sure not hearing anything out of our officials about this stuff:

Iran reports rocket launch amid nuclear tension

Not only have they fired off a rocket!  Now, they’ve test fired two missiles that are capable of carrying a nuclear payload - now they’re firing off rockets capable of making it to the atmosphere and no one is saying anything?  Excuse me…hello?  Is this thing on?

Supposedly, once they have successfully test fired this rocket two more times, as long as it is successful, they plan on launching their own satellites as well.  Gee, can you please tell me if anyone else is out there making these connections?   They now say they have 5000 centrifuges up and running, they have successfuly fired of a long range ballistic missile, and now they have plans to put up their own satellite.  It sure sounds to me like they are getting closer to putting together a nuclear attack in the very near future!!

Is it just me? Here’s my prediction - if they actually do become successful with this rocket launch - Israel will be in the next day strafing the hell outta that country and blowing shit up…and…it’s gonna happen under Obama’s watch…and Obama is going to condemned Israel and will use this as an excuse to cut all ties with our greatest allies in the middle east.

I don’t know who they’re trying to test - the lame duck President or the President-Elect!

Russia’s Medvedev’s Tough Guy Act

Just wonderful!   He’s announcing he’s sending warships off the coast of Venezuela - AND - he’s going to deploy missiles off the Polish border in response to our missile defense shield!  Can that get any better?

Venezuela’s Chavez welcomes Russian warships

Oh..I guess it can.  They’ve already put those warships out there.   Apparently, this is the first time in about 30 or so years that Russia has sent warships this close - and in the Caribbean waters at that!  They’re stating it’s wargame exercises with Venezuela after they sold Chavez those $Billions worth of weapons.  Hmmm…how the hell did Chavez get all that payola?  Oh..yeah..that’s right…FROM US because those dipshits up in D.C. refuse to allow us to drill for our OWN oil in our OWN country!

Well - with only two months left in this Presidency - all I can figure is this is a show of force for that Socialist that is coming in to office.  I hope he has the balls to stand up to this kind of brut action.  Seems to me that Joe Biden was right.  Obama is being tested - and it didn’t even take 6 months.  Hell - he’s not even in office yet and they’re already telling him to back off.

I am so glad you guys on the left voted in a pacifist wuss who has vowed to reduce our military and our nuclear armament!  With enemies like these off our coast - who needs a bomb shelter?

I thought the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) was supposed to be about protecting the civil liberties of all persons?  I guess not!  I haven’t heard any news reports about the ACLU taking up this cause - I guess because it happened to a conservative guy:

Joe the Plumber case still Dripping

Yup - that Joe the Plumber!  Well, apparently there were six different state agencies who looked in to his personal records during the election cycle after he was able to get Obama to admit that he’s a socialist.

I would consider this a huge invasion of privacy on behalf of the government.  The government agencies had absolutely no right to be delving in to this guys public records at all.

The report linked above indicates they know for sure that the Department of Job and Family Services, The Ohio Department of Taxation, and The Ohio Attorney General did searches the day after the debates.  Go ahead and read that article - they are claiming reasons of privacy for not disclosing why they conducted the searches - WTF?  They’re trying to make excuses and reasons for validating their searches.

They are so full of it that it’s not even funny!  Seriously, ACLU!  Where the hell are you on this one?  I guess if he was trying to force his ex-wife to get an abortion you’d be all over that and trying to support him in his quest.  Or, better yet, had they done a search and found out he was a pedophile and a paying member of NAMBLA there would already have been a lawsuit filed against the state of Ohio.

Looks like Muckymud Imanutjob is over there flexin’ his muscles again!  It was reported today that Iran tested  a couple new missiles .  These missiles, the Sejil, have a range of 1,900 kilometers - as compared to 1,200 kilometers of the Shahab.  Not only is Israel well within that range - but - so is much of Europe.

This is especially dangerous considering that a.) Obama has openly stated just yesterday that he will open straight talks with Iran without pre-conditions , and b.) Russia is continuing to make threats to Obama not to continue with Bush’s plans to put up the missile defense system in Poland that will protect Europe.

You guys on the left have just put this country in some serious harm!  Obama is willing to talk with terrorist states (which has been against American policy for decades) and you know his ass is going to back down from Russia since he hates our military.  He openly stated he will draw down our entire nuclear program.  I hope you guys are happy!

Iran is in serious position now to send a nuke directly in to Israel - and Obama has already stated he will not support Israel.  Iran is in serious position now to send a nuke directly in to Western Europe - and since he will not follow through with the missile defense system - our allies there are going to be left vunerable.  Russia is an ally to Iran - not the U.S.  Who do you think they will side with when Iran launches their nukes?
