The Whitehouse attack on Rush!

3:15 am in Demoncrats, Economy, Media, National, Obama, Opinion, Politics by skyzot63

I don’t usually listen to Rush Limbaugh or Bill O., I think both of them are blowhards who truly like to hear their own voices.

I don’t like that my Whitehouse and the temporary tenet sees fit to attack a private citizen. What the hell happened to free speech? The last time I checked we all had the right to have an opinion, and the right to climb on a soapbox on the corner to broadcast that opinion. Having a radio or TV show is no different than a soapbox. It just gives you the chance for more people to hear you.

Listening to that tool Gibbs this morning, (Where the hell does Obama find these people he appoints? A whole cabinet of tax evaders, they are all criminals in one way or another.), He was attacking Rush with almost every word. Then he had the gall to say “I can’t imagine anyone a few years ago, that they wanted the country to fail”. Where the hell has this guy been for the last eight years, in a fuckin’ cave?

In defense of Rush, he never said or implied that he wanted the country to fail. What he was referring to was Obama’s Socialist agenda. Hell, I want to see that fail. I guess there are a lot of people who don’t see a problem with that. Every day the media and Democrats were saying that we were not winning in Iraq, that we could not win. Harry Reid even said that the war was lost. They were screaming about the money being spent, the deficit, the deficit. Where are they now as our government is in the process of putting our children and grandchildren in more debt than this country has ever seen. He has done this in only six weeks. What will it be in a year? He has opened the flood gates, so the sky is the limit.

It is not much of a surprise, considering that the schools no longer teach history, except for their own revisions to it. With the curriculum teaching to the test, these kids don’t have a chance to learn anything but what the leftist teachers want them to learn. I guess we are going to have to watch the country go through hell, because too many people did not learn from history, so they are going to repeat it. It wont work this time either.

Are you ready for six dollar gallons of milk? What will gas cost, if we are even allowed to buy it?

God help us all and our beloved Country.

 

The attacks against Sarah Palin are endless.

8:23 am in Media, National, Opinion, Politics, Sarah Palin by skyzot63

MSNBC hosts Keith Olbermann, News coverage, anchor Norah O’Donnell and NBC’s Matt Lauer continue the attacks against Gov. Sarah Palin. John Ziegler, conservative film maker, creator of ‘Media Malpractice’, being interviewed by O’Donnell on MSNBC pointed out some of the things she had said about Gov. Palin that were untrue. O’Donnell flat out denied that there was or is any media bias against the Gov.

This from NewsBusters

During the Monday 12PM EST hour of MSNBC news coverage, anchor Norah O’Donnell interviewed conservative film maker John Ziegler, creator of ‘Media Malpractice,’ a documentary on media bias against Sarah Palin, and denied any such bias: “Well, let me ask you, you called the treatment of Sarah Palin and her family a, quote, ‘media assassination, one of the greatest public injustices of our time.’ Is that a little strong? Are you and her a little thin-skinned?”

Ziegler responded by pointing out O’Donnell’s own anti-Palin bias: “The evidence is overwhelming. It’s continuing today. I mean, just a few weeks ago, Norah, you incorrectly stated on the air Sarah Palin called Barack Obama a terrorist during the campaign.” NewsBusters reported on O’Donnell’s January 29 smear of Palin.

Ziegler also tore Matt Lauer a new one. He had Lauer stuttering with his answers. I encourage everyone to go to NewsBusters. Finally getting Lauer to admit that the Gov. is not an idiot. I am going to buy this DVD.

The Un-Fairness Doctrine

6:47 am in Demoncrats, Media, National, Obama, Politics by skyzot63

They keep denying that is in the works, so why do we keep hearing liberals talking about it.

Found this at the Toledo Blade. The first paragraph denies that it is in the works, that it is just conservatives yapping about it to raise ratings. Then in the second and third paragraphs are these gems.

Still, there’s nothing wrong with restoring the notion that a wide range of ideas ought to have a place on the nation’s radio airwaves, which are, after all, publicly owned – not the private property of a handful of corporate broadcasters.

One way to call attention to this principle would be for Congress to hold hearings, calling the AM radio potentates on the carpet to explain to the House Subcommittee on Telecommunications and the Internet why their medium has become so one-sided in most communities. 

I can tell them why, and I’m not even a Rocket Scientist or a congress critter. People don’t listen to liberal radio, thousands of stations have tried it and most of them go back to music or turn Spanish.

They go on and on about how the poor residents of Toledo can’t find a liberal AM radio station to listen to. What? Toledo doesn’t carry Air America or NPR? How about TV? Don’t they get ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNBC or PBS or CSPAN?

According to a report from the Pew Research Center, in 2006 Clear Channel owned 1,190 radio stations, nearly four times as many as the next largest company, Cumulus Broadcasting, which owned 303. Along with Citadel Broadcasting, the number-three broadcast company at 225 stations, the trio owned more stations than the next 17 companies combined.

It is this concentration of ownership that is really at the center of the problem. He who controls the broadcast licenses controls the content of what goes out over the air, and any notion of a “public trust” be damned.

What could be more characteristic of a totalitarian state than limiting information to a narrow range of options? Democracy’s very survival depends on a public that is well-informed, sometimes whether they wish to be or not. 

What about KGO 81 here in the San Francisco bay area? 50 Thousand volts and 50 listeners. Son of a gun, it’s owned by that evil “Clear Channel” You can find fifty liberal AM radio stations in the bay area. Few listen to them. Most liberals I know, and there a lot of them, would rather listen to Rush, Sean Hannity or Mark Levin and call in to harass them. It is pretty funny to listen to some of those calls.

It’s time for Congress to ask why the AM airwaves continue to be dominated by a narrow viewpoint and what effect that has on issues of public concern. And if broadcasters do not willingly provide listeners the range of opinions they need to figure out where they stand on these issues, perhaps it is time for the FCC to require that they fulfill the public trust.

Better be careful what you wish for Bucko, it is a two way street. Is KGO 81 and PBS ready for Rush for three hours a day? Law mandated, this will be funny to watch. I love it when some group fights to take away the freedom of others, and it bites them in the ASS.

The AP going after Obama?

10:36 am in Demoncrats, Media, National, Obama, Opinion, Politics, Stimulus by skyzot63

It’s hard to imagine, but this AP article via Yahoo News FACT CHECK: Examining Obama’s job, pork claims , By CALVIN WOODWARD, Associated Press Writer Calvin Woodward, Associated Press Writer – Tue Feb 10, is not very kind to Pres. Erkle.

WASHINGTON – At least Route 31 is a road to somewhere. President Barack Obama had it both ways when he promoted his stimulus plan in Indiana and later at a prime-time news conference. He bragged in Indiana about getting Congress to produce a package with no pork, yet boasted it will do good things for a Hoosier highway and a downtown overpass, just the kind of local projects lawmakers lard into big spending bills.

No Pork, that is joke #1. The Stimulus Bill is one big Pork Package. Bridge To Nowhere qnyone?

Obama’s sales pitch on the enormous package he wants Congress to make law has sizzle as well as steak. He’s projecting job creation numbers that may be impossible to verify and glossing over some ethical problems that bedeviled his team.

They expect us to believe that they put this thing together since November 4th, that is joke n#2. This piece of crap has every pork meal that the liberal demoncrats have been putting together for years. The Messiah has not added anything to this bill, he only knows what parts of it contain.
This thing was put together by Pelosi and Reid and their mignions. They are using The Chosen One to pass all of the crap they have wanted to impose on us for years, if not decades. All he cares about is that it is spending, a lot of spending. The only way he can get what he wants is to have the printing presses on steroids printing new money. He has to drive the worth of the dollar as far down as possible. He is sliding Socialism into America under a stelth blanket.

OBAMA: “Not a single pet project,” he told the news conference. “Not a single earmark.”

THE FACTS: There are no “earmarks,” as they are usually defined, inserted by lawmakers in the bill. Still, some of the projects bear the prime characteristics of pork — tailored to benefit specific interests or to have thinly disguised links to local projects.

Erkle either flat out lied, or he is truly one of the dombest people on the planet.

OBAMA: “My bottom line is, are we creating 4 million jobs?” he told the news conference.

He said in Indiana, “The plan that we’ve put forward will save or create 3 million to 4 million jobs over the next two years.”

THE FACTS: Job creation projections are uncertain even in stable times, and some of the economists relied on by Obama in making his forecast acknowledge a great deal of uncertainty in their numbers.

The president’s own economists, in a report prepared last month, stated, “It should be understood that that all of the estimates presented in this memo are subject to significant margins of error.”

Beyond that, it’s unlikely the nation will ever know how many jobs are saved as a result of the stimulus. While it’s clear when jobs are abolished, there’s no economic gauge that tracks job preservation.

There is no stipulation in this bill to have any jobs they are lucky enough to create or save will go to citizens. Plus the US govenment is forcing GM to cut ten thousand non union jobs. That is a cute pay back to the union support.. If you perform and move up through the ladder of advancement, they are saying “Screw You!”

OBAMA: “We also inherited the most profound economic emergency since the Great Depression.”

That is joke #3. The reason we are in this mess is because of the Demoncrats, Frank and Dodd lying and pushing Freddie and Fannie down our throats with the help of lamestream hype. They managed to sucker Bush into signing the bank bailout, which never should have happened, shame on Bush.

THE FACTS: This could turn out to be the case. But as bad as the economic numbers are, the unemployment figures have not reached the levels of the early 1980s, let alone the 1930s — yet. A total of 598,000 payroll jobs vanished in January — the most in nearly 35 years — and the unemployment rate jumped to 7.6 from 7.2 percent the month before. The most recent high was 7.8 percent in June 1992.

And the jobless rate was 10.8 percent in November and December 1982. Unemployment in the Great Depression ranged for several years from 25 percent to close to 30 percent.

Give Erkle and the Demoncrats a little time qnd those numbers could be small potatoes.

I just heard that the Senate passed this piece of crap with the help of three Rino’s Specter, Snowe and Collins, a pox on them for bucklling under to the pressure. I’m a little surprised that Rino McCain did not vote for it.

We are now under Socialized Medicine, now this new huge burocrocy they have created will now decide who gets treatment and what kind. At my age and health issues in the past, they will deny me treatment because my treatments have gone over 2 million so far.
It is vital to Erkle and the Dems, for this recession to turn into a full blown depression. What the free market would most likely have fixed is now up to massive money printing that will cause inflation like we have never seen. I thought Carter was bad, this bunch of fools make Carter look like a conservative.
I’m going to clean my guns and stuff some money in the mattress.

Media Ignoring CBO Report

12:38 pm in Demoncrats, Media, National, Obama, Politics, Stimulus by skyzot63

From the Congressional Budget Office

The Media is flat assed hiding this information from the general public. The more people learn about this piece of garbage called a Stimulus, the more they don’t like it. The problem is, there is very little to be found about it in the NYT, Wapo or on ABC, NBC, CBS or MSNBC. Anything they do report in nitpicked from the text. They completely ignore the negative side of the report.

This evening, CBO released its Monthly Budget Review, reflecting an analysis of budget data through the end of January. CBO estimates that the Treasury Department will report a deficit of $563 billion for the first four months of fiscal year 2009, $474 billion higher than the deficit incurred through January 2008. This year’s deficit to date includes estimated outlays of $284 billion for the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP). Although the Treasury is recording most spending for the TARP on a cash basis, CBO believes that the budget should record all of the program’s activities, including equity investments, on a net present-value basis adjusted for market risk, as specified in the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008. Using that approach, CBO estimates that outlays of $76 billion should be recorded for the TARP through January, which would yield an estimated deficit of $355 billion through January.

Folks, that is money that will come out of our pockets and the pockets of our children and grandchildren.

Receipts for the first four months of fiscal year 2009 were about $88 billion (or 10 percent) lower than receipts during the comparable period last year. Almost half of the decline, or $43 billion, resulted from lower net corporate receipts, which fell by 43 percent. Declines in those receipts reflect the continued weakness in corporate profits stemming from the recession.

if i remember correctly, that would be when Reid and Pelosi got their hands around our throats.
Sadly, Bush got suckers into signing that piece of crap TARP. That started the slide. what was possibly a moderate recession, which the market could have recovered from, was turned into a much worse situation by the harping and chicken little antics of the Media and the Demoncrats. They scared the American public, mostly the extreme left, Socialist Communist leaning among us into sliding Obama (The Chosen One) into the Whitehouse.

Outlays through January totaled $1,337 billion, CBO estimates—$387 billion more than in the same period last year. That amount includes expenditures of $284 billion for activities by the TARP (under the cash treatment used by the Treasury) and $14 billion of equity injections for Freddie Mac. Spending for other federal programs was $123 billion higher than in the first four months of 2008; adjusted for calendar-related shifts in the timing of certain payments, program outlays rose by 12 percent (about $101 billion). In contrast, outlays for net interest on the public debt fell by 39 percent, or $35 billion, over that period because of lower costs for inflation-indexed securities and a decline in short-term interest rates.

They just keep spending more and more. For eight years the Demoncrats were always critical of Bush for the cost of everything and the deficit. Even though he had to deal with 9/11 and two wars.

The longer Obama is in office, the more his Marxist, Socialist views come out. We are being forced to follow a path where I can see our Constitution being tossed in the trash or being modified and weakened to the point of being useless.
I tell you the truth when I say I am very afraid for this country. Americans have to stand up to these Marxists that have moved into 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. They must be stopped.
