UW-Milwaukee Study Could Realign Climate Change Theory

Scientists Claim Earth Is Undergoing Natural Climate Shift

I am sure that the Gorebot and the part time employee at NASA Mr. Hansen will soon come out to refute this study. How dare some real scientists say such things, and look they have a better computer model than we do. Gorebot to Hansen “I told you to keep that software up to date, I mean this is the reason I invented the Internet.”

"Imagine that you have four synchronized swimmers and they are not holding hands and they do their program and everything is fine; now, if they begin to hold hands and hold hands tightly, most likely a slight error will destroy the synchronization. Well, we applied the same analogy to climate," researcher Dr. Anastasios Tsonis said.

See that was Gorebot’s mistake, he let Teddy the Swimmer Kennedy into the global warming cabal.

"In climate, when this happens, the climate state changes. You go from a cooling regime to a warming regime or a warming regime to a cooling regime. This way we were able to explain all the fluctuations in the global temperature trend in the past century," Tsonis said. "The research team has found the warming trend of the past 30 years has stopped and in fact global temperatures have leveled off since 2001."

 

I think that may explain why I have been wearing thermals all winter and my pepper plants being so late to produce last year. Right now I could use a little global warming here in San Jose. fifty degrees at noon is nasty cold. The most recent climate shift probably occurred at about the year 2000.  Is there any and/or how much influence does human activity have?

"But if we don’t understand what is natural, I don’t think we can say much about what the humans are doing. So our interest is to understand — first the natural variability of climate — and then take it from there. So we were very excited when we realized a lot of changes in the past century from warmer to cooler and then back to warmer were all natural," Tsonis said.

It is amusing to watch the global warming scam slowly fall apart when confronted with real scientific truth. Pretty much like it is going to be with Obama. I just hope this country can survive and reject the take over and destructive policies of the Socialist Wing, (Read Obama) of the democrat party.

When you put the clowns in charge, don’t be surprised when a circus breaks out. (Unknown but correct)

Obama is the man behind the curtain.

Day by day the truth slowly comes out. Most of the time from his own words. The problem is that the Honeymoon with many Americans is not over. Not all of us are blinded by the dim light that has been shined on this man. A very bright light needs to be shined on  President Zero and his Hokey administration, then we could see where the cockroaches are and stomp on them. I think we would learn that Zero is not running the country, Nancy Pelosi is writing the law and he can’t wait to sign it. He promised to use his “Line Item Veto” to go through the stimulus bill and eliminate earmarks. I guess his Teleprompter didn’t tell him he has no Line Item Veto.

So Blinky Pelosi is pulling the strings on this puppet president. It makes me sick that the great state of California has inflicted the country with the piece of crap called Speaker of The House.

Obama spent two days in California this week taking his sales pitch directly to the people. The campaign took him from town-hall meetings to Jay Leno’s "The Tonight Show" set in an effort to garner support for a budget that will pay for his priorities. At the same time, he is promising to cut the deficit in half by the end of his four-year term.

His message, however, was drowned out for much of the week by revelations that American International Group Inc. paid out $165 million in bonuses to employees, including to traders in the financial unit that nearly caused the insurance giant’s collapse. The public outrage was followed by congressional efforts to impose punitive taxes on those payouts.

In his Saturday message, Obama contended that ordinary Americans are more concerned about having a paycheck and being able to pay their college or medical bills more than they are about "the news of the day in Washington."

That last paragraph scares me te most. That is classic “Don’t pay attention to what we are doing, we know what is best for you, you know nothing we will care for you.”

I get some very nasty comments here and on The Black Hole Next Door from those who the Koolaid has not turned sour yet. I feel sorry for them. Reality is a cruel Bitch. They will soon learn the pain of a Bitch Slap.

With a nod to Capitol Hill, he said the specific dollar amounts in his budget plan will likely change, but in the end his four priorities must be met.

Those are plans to boost investments in clean energy technologies, including wind and solar power; increased funding for childhood education programs, affordable college costs and higher standards for schools; health care reform that will lower costs, including Medicare and Medicaid; and a scrutiny on domestic spending that will lead to cuts in the deficit.

"The American people sent us here to get things done, and at this moment of great challenge, they are watching and waiting for us to lead," Obama said. "Let’s show them that we are equal to the task before us."

Hey Zero, you need to be a leader before you can lead. You and the cadre of clowns you have grouped around you are not leaders, you are disruptors.

If any  Republican attempted to do what Mr. Zero has done, from campaign to coronation and the first hundred days, the mainstream media and all the extreme left sided net news sources would be screaming for heads.

I have never known of a Republican Presidential candidate who did not release health, financial, education, draft status and citizenship documents. John McCain was pillared because he was born in Panama. He did not hesitate to provide the documents.

Mr. Zero, a lot of Americans would truly like to see your REAL birth records and your draft registration. I will be very disappointed if the left leaning and the great unwashed has elected a phony to the highest office in the land.

So now they are in denial

Feds Deny Obama Will Take Guns Away from Pilots

Thursday, March 19, 2009 9:37 AM
By: Jim Meyers
Federal officials and the airline pilots union are denying a report that the Obama administration is seeking to end a program that trains pilots to carry guns in jetliner cockpits.

An editorial published in the Washington Times on Tuesday stated that “President Obama is quietly ending the federal firearms program, risking public safety on airlines in the name of an anti-gun ideology.”

It will be a very cold day in hell when I believe anything a few un-named Feds or union officials say, I take that back, I don’t give a big fat FUCK if they are named, I still will not believe them. I spent way too long as an elected union official to ever take what they say as truth.

But Sterling Payne, a spokeswoman for the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), told Fox News of the editorial: “It’s inaccurate. This program continues to grow. TSA continues to recruit and put new FFDOs on planes, and we continue to train them and do recurring training.”

The Airlines Pilots Association International, representing more than 52,000 pilots in the U.S. and Canada, issued a statement saying the Times story “couldn’t be further from the truth.”

That is double speak for “Oops, somebody screwed up and the truth is out about what we want to do. It’s ASS covering time, go into denial mode!!!” That very dangerous dip shit Eric Holder or whatever the fuck his name is, a gun grabber in full grabber mode all the time. I am in total disbelief of the people The One has gathered together for his administration.

Union representatives “met with TSA executives and were told in no uncertain terms that TSA embraces the FFDO program, that there are no plans to reduce or restrict its growth, and that in fact the agency fully intends to grow and expand the program,” according to the union statement.

“Government representatives acknowledged that the program needs additional funding to achieve these goals, and that they are actively seeking same.”

Obama has brought Wall Street to the brink of extinction. He is working on fucking up the best health care system in the world. (No hospital ER in this country can turn someone away just because they have no money.) If you don’t think that is true, pay a visit to your local ER. People are using them as clinics.

Next Janet Napolitano Secretary of Homeland Security has it on fast track to get an amnesty that Obama wants, passed.. They keep claiming that there are about twelve million illegals here, I guess they are just counting California. Thirty to forty million would be a lot closer to the truth. After that, it will be fast track to citizenship, that is what we really need, forty million more Democrats.  Conservatives in this country are so fucked.

Another Attack On Our Safety!

Obama Wants to Disarm U.S. Pilots

This bunch of thugs and fools from Chicago and the Dems in Congress are hell bent on making us as vulnerable to another 9/11 type of attack. It is bad enough that they are going to bring those killers from Gitmo here, put them on trial in our court system and if they are found not guilty by way of any technical or other reason, release them in the United States. What a bunch of idiots. Do they not realize that these people want to kill all of us?

Now they are going to go after the airline pilots who are certified to carry a firearm in the cockpit of commercial flights.

From NewsMax:

The Obama administration is taking steps quietly to shut down the program that qualifies commercial airline pilots to carry firearms in jetliner cockpits in order to ward off another 9/11-type attack.

The administration recently diverted $2 million from a program to train and certify pilots to carry firearms safely while on duty. Instead, it is using the money to hire additional field inspectors to help discipline pilots who step out of line, according to a report in Tuesday’s Washington Times.

The translation of “field inspectors” Is simple, they will be there to nitpick and harass the gun totin’ pilots. I’m sure the Air Marshals are not far behind. Let’s face it, none of these elitist pigs and freaks ever fly on commercial flights. Those days are gone. I can just dream of being in the security line with Babbs Boxer or the Swimmer.

Obama is proving once again, that he and his cabal don’t give a rats ass about the safety and security of the United States and the American People. The NewsMax article continues:

A Times editorial condemned the Obama administration’s action, calling it “completely unnecessary harassment of the pilots.”

Since Obama took office, the approval process for certifying pilots to carry firearms has ground to a halt, the newspaper reports. Pilots are afraid to speak out about the behind-the-scenes maneuverings, for fear of retaliation, according to the newspaper. No cases have been reported in which pilots have brandished a weapon inappropriately or otherwise abused their eligibility to carry firearms.

About 12,000 pilots have been authorized to carry handguns while flying aircraft as part of the Federal Flight Deck Officers Program. Congress authorized the program in a 310-to-113 vote following the 9/11 attacks to help prevent terrorists from turning jetliners into flying bombs that could be used to attack key sites like the White House, the Pentagon, or Capitol Hill.

Paul Valone, a Second Amendment advocate who directs Grass Roots North Carolina (GRNC.org), is calling for citizens to contract their congressional representatives to protest the administration’s anti-gun priorities.

Pilots are already required to pay for their own room and board during training, and use paid leave for the time they’re off the job. Every six months, the program requires them to be requalified for firearm use.

Valone writes on Examiner.com: “While bureaucrats . . . may have attempted to hamstring the program with burdensome requirements, training instructors and the Federal Air Marshals who now oversee the program routinely thank the FFDOs for their professionalism and dedication in protecting the nation’s air commerce against terrorism.”

Valone says the Obama administration is “dismantling yet another layer of defense against terrorism and defying the will of the American people.”

Since coming to power, the Obama administration has undertaken a series of moves that signal a major de-emphasis of programs enacted to keep America’s homeland safe from terrorist attack:

  • Obama’s choice for U.S. Attorney General, Eric Holder, labeled enhanced interrogation techniques as outright “torture” during his Senate confirmation hearings.
  • Obama banned waterboarding and ordered CIA interrogators to abide by U.S. Army Field Manual regulations.
  • He selected Clinton-era political operative Leon Panetta to serve as his CIA director. Panetta’s qualifications to run the agency have been questioned widely.
  • Obama announced that he would shut down the Guantanamo Bay detention facility in Cuba within one year, raising the prospect of hardened terrorists entering the U.S. criminal justice system, or worse, being released to rejoin al-Qaida.
  • He indicated the U.S. defense budget would be sharply reduced.
  • He has sent a letter to Russian leaders, apparently offering to back off on the ballistic missile defense system that would protect Europe from Iran and North Korea.

    These and other Obama administration moves recently prompted former vice president Dick Cheney to charge that Obama is returning to the Clinton-era view of terrorism as a law enforcement issue.

    “Now he’s made some choices that in my mind raise the risk to the American people of another attack,” Cheney said of Obama on CNN’s “State of the Union” program.

    The Washington Times points out that about 70 percent of airline pilots have military backgrounds. With airport screening less than 100 percent effective, it states, armed pilots provide a second layer of defense.

    “Only anti-gun extremists and terrorist recruits are worried about armed pilots,” the newspaper editorial says.

    ACORN to Partner With Government for 2010 Census

     ACORN to Partner With Government for 2010 Census 

    We are so very Fucked, and I did not enjoy it in the least.

    By: Dave Eberhart
    The Association of Community Organizations for Reform (ACORN) is now a “national partner” with the U.S. Census Bureau, soon to help the White House find 1.4 million workers to canvass for the country’s 2010 census.

    If the acronym rings a bell, it’s because the organization has a history of voter fraud charges in the last election cycle, according to a report by FOXNews.com.

    ACORN will be joining with more than 250 national partners, including TARGET and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), to assist in the hiring of census workers around the country.

    ACORN spokesman Scott Levenson told FOXNews.com, “ACORN as an organization has not been charged with any crime,” adding that concerns that the organization will unfairly influence the census are unfounded.

    The U.S. Census Bureau has also gone on the defensive.

    They should have to defend the decision to move the national census from the Census Bureau to control by the White House. When they begin the Gerrymandering, watch Republican districts all but vanish. This is an Obama, Emanuel move to keep the Democrats in power for generations. With these people in power, this great country will not last a generation.

    A tired American Veteran

    8:59 am in Bailout, Democrats, Economy, Fairness Doctrine, Freedom, Hollywood, National, Obama, Opinion, Politics, Stimulus by skyzot63

    This Gentleman snuck inside my head, he articulates my feelings perfectly. I was very close to being a millionaire once, divorce took care of that dream, someone else became one on my work. Up until cancer and the physical ramifications of that made it impossible for me to continue working at age sixty eight, I worked hard my entire life. It started with me working two jobs while in high school. I had every  intension of working until at least seventy if not longer.

    I’m Tired" by Robert A. Hall
    I’ll be 63 soon.  Except for one semester in college when jobs were scarce, and a six-month period when I was between jobs, but job-hunting every day, I’ve worked, hard, since I was 18.  Despite some health challenges, I still put in 50-hour weeks, and haven’t called in sick in seven or eight years. 

    I make a good salary, but I didn’t inherit my job or my income, and I worked to get where I am.  Given the economy, there’s no retirement in sight, and I’m tired.  Very tired. 
    I’m tired of being told that I have to "spread the wealth around" to people who don’t have my work ethic.  I’m tired of being told the government will take the money I earned, by force if necessary, and give it to people too lazy or stupid to earn it. 

    I’m tired of being told that I have to pay more taxes to "keep people in their homes.”  Sure, if they lost their jobs or got sick, I’m willing to help. But if they bought McMansions at three times the price of our paid-off, $250,000 condo, on one-third of my salary, then let the left-wing Congress-critters who passed Fannie and Freddie and the Community Reinvestment Act that created the bubble help them-with their own money. 

    I’m tired of being told how bad America is by left-wing millionaires like Michael Moore, George Soros, and  Hollywood  entertainers who live in luxury because of the opportunities  America  offers.  In thirty years, if they get their way, the  United States will have the religious freedom and women’s rights of  Saudi Arabia , the economy of Zimbabwe, the freedom of the press of  China , the crime, and violence of  Mexico, the tolerance for Gay people of  Iran , and the freedom of speech of  Venezuela .  Won’t multiculturalism be beautiful? 

    I’m tired of being told that Islam is a "Religion of Peace," when every day I can read dozens of stories of Muslim men killing their sisters, wives and daughters for their family "honor;" of Muslims rioting over some slight offense; of Muslims murdering Christian and Jews because they a aren’t "believers;" of Muslims burning schools for girls; of Muslims stoning teenage rape victims to death for "adultery;" of Muslims mutilating the genitals of little girls; all in the name of Allah, because the Qur’an and Shari’a law tells them to.
    I believe "a man should be judged by the content of his character, not by the color of his skin."  I’m tired of being told that "race doesn’t matter" in the post-racial world of President Obama, when it’s all that matters in affirmative action jobs, lower college admission and graduation standards for minorities (harming them the most), government contract set-asides, tolerance for the ghetto culture of violence and fatherless children that hurts minorities more than anyone, and in the appointment of US Senators from Illinois.  I think it’s very cool that we have a black president and that a black child is doing her homework at the desk where Lincoln wrote the emancipation proclamation.  I just wish the black president was Condi Rice, or someone who believes more in freedom and the individual and less in an all-knowing government. 

    I’m tired of a news media that thinks Bush’s fundraising and inaugural expenses were obscene, but that think Obama’s, at triple the cost, were wonderful.  That thinks Bush exercising daily was a waste of presidential time, but Obama exercising is a great example for the public to control weight and stress, that picked over every line of Bush’s military records, but never demanded that Kerry release his, that slammed Palin with two years as governor for being too inexperienced for VP, but touted Obama with three years as senator as potentially the best president ever. Wonder why people are dropping their subscriptions or switching to Fox News?  Get a clue.  I didn’t vote for Bush in 2000, but the media and Kerry drove me to his camp in 2004. 

    I’m tired of being told that out of "tolerance for other cultures" we must let Saudi Arabia use our oil money to fund mosques and madrassa Islamic schools to preach hate in America, while no American group is allowed to fund a church, synagogue, or religious school in Saudi Arabia to teach love and tolerance. 

    I’m tired of being told I must lower my living standard to fight global warming, which no one is allowed to debate.  My wife and I live in a two-bedroom apartment and carpool together five miles to our jobs.  We also own a three-bedroom condo where our daughter and granddaughter live.  Our carbon footprint is about 5% of Al Gore’s, and if you’re greener than Gore, you’re green enough. 

    I’m tired of being told that drug addicts have a disease, and I must help support and treat them, and pay for the damage they do.  Did a giant germ rush out of a dark alley, grab them, and stuff white powder up their noses while they tried to fight it off?  I don’t t hink Gay people choose to be Gay, but I damn sure think druggies chose to take drugs.  And I’m tired of harassment from cool people treating me like a freak when I tell them I never tried marijuana. 

    I’m tired of illegal aliens being called "undocumented workers," especially the ones who aren’t working, but are living on welfare or crime.  What’s next?  Calling drug dealers, Undocumented Pharmacists"?  And, no, I’m not against Hispanics.  Most of them are Catholic and it’s been a few hundred years since Catholics wanted to kill me for my religion.  I’m willing to fast track for citizenship any Hispanic person, who can speak English, doesn’t have a criminal record and who is self-supporting without family on welfare, or who serves honorably for three years in our military.  Those are the citizens we need. 

    I’m tired of latte liberals and journalists, who would never wear the uniform of the Republic themselves, or let their entitlement-handicapped kids near a recruiting station, trashing our military.  They and their kids can sit at home, never having to make split-second decisions under life and death circumstances, and bad mouth better people then themselves.  Do bad things happen in war?  You bet.  Do our troops sometimes misbehave?  Sure. Does this compare with the atrocities that were the policy of our enemies for the last fifty years-and still are?  Not even close.  So here’s the deal.  I’ll let myself be subjected to all the humiliation and abuse that was heaped on terrorists at Abu Ghraib or Gitmo, and the critics can let themselves be subject to captivity by the Muslims who tortured and beheaded Daniel Pearl in Pakistan, or the Muslims who tortured and murdered Marine Lt. Col. William Higgins in Lebanon, or the Muslims who ran the blood-spattered Al Qaeda torture rooms our troops found in Iraq, or the Muslims who cut off the heads of schoolgirls in Indonesia, because the girls were Christian. Then we’ll compare notes.  British and American soldiers are the only troops in history that civilians came to for help and handouts, instead of hiding from in fear. 

    I’m tired of people telling me that their party has a corner on virtue and the other party has a corner on corruption.  Read the papers-bums are bipartisan.  And I’m tired of people telling me we need bipartisanship.  I live in  Illinois , where the "Illinois Combine" of Democrats and Republicans has worked together harmoniously to loot the public for years.  And I notice that the tax cheats in Obama’s cabinet are bipartisan as well.

    I’m tired of hearing wealthy athletes, entertainers, and politicians of both parties talking about innocent mistakes, stupid mistakes or youthful mistakes, when we all know they think their only mistake was getting caught.  I’m tired of people with a sense of entitlement, rich or poor. 
    Speaking of poor, I’m tired of hearing people with air-conditioned homes, color TVs and two cars called poor. The majority of Americans didn’t have that in 1970, but we didn’t know we were "poor.”  The poverty pimps have to keep changing the definition of poor to keep the dollars flowing. 

    I’m real tired of people who don’t take responsibility for their lives and actions.  I’m tired of hearing them blame the government, or discrimination, or big-whatever for their problems. 

    Yes, I’m damn tired.  But I’m also glad to be 63.  Because, mostly, I’m not going to get to see the world these people are making.  I’m just sorry for my granddaughter.

    Now Obama Tells Us?
    What an honest campaign would have sounded like.
    By Victor Davis Hanson

    Imagine that last fall, before being elected, Barack Obama had outlined the positions he has embraced since being inaugurated. An honest campaign speech could have gone something like this:
    “As we approach Election Day, the American people should not waste the crisis we find ourselves in.
    “Consequently, if elected, I promise to get us over the Bush financial meltdown with a stimulus program that will borrow $787 billion — which, of course, will add to the already sizable budget deficit (nearly $500 billion) projected in the Bush administration’s last budget.
    “By March of next year, my new $3.6 trillion budget will include a spending bill with over 8,500 budget earmarks to target in-need constituents.

    “In addition to the stimulus/borrowing plan, I intend to devote $634 billion to fund a new supplementary national health-care system. But that is not all. Unfortunately, the initial Bush bank bailout of some $700 billion also may well have to be augmented by an additional $750 billion.
    “Although my new spending proposals may raise the federal deficit in my first year to $1.75 trillion, I promise the American people that by the end of my first term, I will halve the federal deficit — albeit adding another $3 to $5 trillion to the national debt.
    “Those savings can be accomplished by upping the federal income tax to about 40 percent on those rich 5 percent of Americans who currently pay only 60 percent of our aggregate income taxes — as well as lifting Social Security caps on their payroll taxes and cutting out many of their tax deductions.
    “With state income taxes, federal income tax, and Social Security and payroll taxes, along with new cutbacks in deductions, some of these rich will pay over 60 percent of their incomes in taxes. That is not an unreasonable rate in comparison with past levels — or the fact that well over 40 percent of Americans do not make enough to pay any federal income taxes.
    “I expect that Wall Street may react negatively to these proposals. We may see the Dow fall an additional 2,000 to 3,000 points after I’m elected. It may descend to under 7,000 during my first weeks of office. And this may be the moment when the economy continues to cool and unemployment rises.
    “But to deal with this reaction of entrenched interests, I promise a fresh team of hard-nosed American professionals — understanding that it is impossible to ensure that none have past insider connections and occasional tax problems.
    “From the former Clinton administration, I will select Rahm Emanuel to run my staff. To oversee revenue, Timothy Geithner will assemble a large team at Treasury. Senator Clinton herself will run State, and I will anchor my cabinet with pros like Tom Daschle, Eric Holder, Bill Richardson, and Hilda Solis.
    “On matters of protecting civil liberties, I assure the American people that I have examined the Patriot Act, the FISA accords, and renditions — and I have discovered that they, in fact, do not shred our Constitution. I will, however, shut down Guantanamo Bay — but must keep it open another year and appoint a task force to study the issue.
    “Our new direction in energy policy will center on cap-and-trade initiatives that promote wind and solar power. While we won’t rule out oil, gas, coal, and nuclear development, problems with greenhouse-gas emissions and nuclear waste mean that these ossified 20th-century industries — including new offshore-drilling development — must be discouraged and further taxed or regulated to subsidize our green future.
    “Abroad, I promise to give America a new image. My first television interview will be with al Arabiya. Due to both new initiatives and my unique background, I can reassure them that no longer will the United States alienate the Muslim world. Our aim is to return to stable and friendly relations with the Middle East characteristic of 20-30 years ago.
    “Indeed, on matters in the Middle East, I will bring back my suspended adviser Samantha Power. I look forward to her input, along with that of Charles Freeman, former ambassador to Saudi Arabia and critic of Israel, as head of the National Intelligence Council, to craft new directions in the region.
    “We expect to open new dialogues with Basher al-Assad of Syria and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran without preconditions. And to further the cause of peace in the Middle East, the United States will pledge almost $1 billion to help rebuild the Gaza strip that is governed by Hamas.”
    Now all that would have been hope and change that we could have voted on.

    The more we learn, the more frightened I become for our country

    10:59 am in Demoncrats, Economy, National, Obama, Opinion, Politics, Stimulus by skyzot63

    From Capitalism Magazine: Obama’s Plans Will ‘Work’ — To Breed Servile Dependence by Richard Salsman.

    Oddly, these [conservative] “critics” [of Obama's economic policies] bestow undeserved compliments on their political opponents – and thus provide them with crucial political cover. By implicitly praising their enemy’s underlying motives, these critics effectively shield them from justified criticism. The critics who argue this way – including Rush Limbaugh – unwittingly carry water for President Obama. By insisting the schemes “won’t work,” the “critics” mean they won’t work to grow the economy – won’t revive the stock market – won’t fix the banks – won’t attract capitalists on strike – won’t bolster job creation – and won’t lift the poor out of poverty. Well, all that’s true, but it’s false to assume the Obama administration actually wants to achieve these things.

    In fact, it wants no such thing.

    It has other ideas — a wholly opposite aim.

    Besides a desire for re-election, shared by all politicians, at root the Obama Administration wants individuals and firms to become more dependent on government. That requires not merely a more intensive redistribution of wealth to the needy (whether needy people or needy firms), but also programs and plans that might proliferate the ranks of the needy, even if that requires turning otherwise healthy people and firms into unhealthy, needy ones.

    Mr. Salsman is exactly right. Mr. Obama does want to convert te entire country, people and businesses into welfare dependent Zombies. An outrageous sized government. Take a look at the banks, financial institutions and the auto companies. They are now under government scrutiny with possible punishment if they don’t toe the line.

    Private citizens will not be far behind. Tucked way down deep in that porkulus bill was an amendment to give the IRS a lot more power. The right to privacy is a thing of the past.

    The country is upside down, all brought to you by a Chicago Community Organizer. All the libs and the Demoncrats in Washington are singing Koom-Ba-Ya with the Dead Cat Bounce the stock market is going through. It goes up a couple hundred points over a five day period and they think the recession is over. If you don’t mind, I am going to continue to protect my money until I see what happens when the bill comes due on all this spending. For cripes sake he is pushing through a three and one half trillion dollar budget. It looks like it is on the fast track and the Republicans wont even be able to block it. I’m watching that idiot Robert Gibbs in the endless press conferences, they are using smoke and mirrors. Getting people to concentrate on getting back the money AIG paid out in bonuses which were contracted well before the bail out money was doled out. It was only 163 million dollars, we are supposed to ignore the 170 billion dollars they received in the bailout, how much of that money did they use to shore up the business? The answer is easy, I don’t need a calculator, NONE. They shuffled it off to other banks. I should put a bank sign in front of my house, I’ll call it (Poor Man’s Bank)

    This all makes me sick
