Letter to Representative Ding Dong

Dear Representative Ding Dong,

 

I am disturbed and dismayed at the reckless and dangerous course administration and the congress has set this country on.  Currently the US Debt Obligation is 63.8 Trillion.  Yes, that’s TRILLION DOLLARS!!!  In case you are unaware a trillion dollars is substantially more than a million dollars.  Look it up. 

 

This recklessness directly negatively affects our national security, national sovereignty and of course our individual liberties.  Never before in the history of this country has the administration and the congress, you included, set such a destructive course.

 

My household portion of this debt is $546,668.  Unlike you I work for a living doing honest work and pay my own way.  I pay my obligations, but unfortunately you and your cohorts are dumping more debt on me in a reckless and wasteful manner and at an ever increasing pace. 

 

These facts underlie some basic questions.  What exactly do you represent???  Do you represent malfeasance??? Do you represent reckless fiscal policy??? Do you represent the destruction of personal liberty???  Do you represent your constituents???  Do you represent fascism or socialism???  Do you represent your party???  Do you represent yourself??? Are you drunk with power???  Are you careless or stupid???

 

We the people do not exist to provide the fruits of our labor to the government.  This is contrary to the basic tenants of liberty which our constitution reserves to the people.  The constitution, in case you have forgotten, is that thing that the congress has taken to use as toilet paper.  I would suggest that you read it before use.  But I digress, we are not servants, our labor and the fruit of our labor belongs to us, not to the government.  Anything less is forced servitude or slavery.  I was born free in a free country.  I want to die as a free person leaving a free country to my children.

 

Finally, I should remind you that your salary, your special congressional health insurance, special congressional pension plan and all of the perks you receive are paid for by us. 

 

You work for us; we do not work for you!!!

 

Respectfully,

The hot-air balloon

A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost. She reduced her altitude and spotted a man in a boat below. She shouted to him,

"Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don't know where I am."

The man consulted his portable GPS and replied, "You're in a hot air balloon, approximately 30 feet above a ground elevation of 2,346 feet above sea level. You are at 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north latitude and
100 degrees, 49.09 minutes west longitude."

She rolled her eyes and said, "You must be a Republican."

"I am," replied the man. "How did you know?"

"Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is technically correct. But I have no idea what to do with your information, and I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help to me."
 
T he man smiled and responded, "You must be an Obama Democrat."

"I am," replied the balloonist. "How did you know?"

"Well," said the man, "you don't know where you are or where you are going. You've risen to where you are due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise you have no idea how to keep, and you expect me to solve your problem. You're in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but somehow, now it's my fault." 

 

Car Czar and Chrysler dealer terminations

May 28, 2009

Rosslyn Smith
We know that Caesar's wife is supposed to be above suspicion, but what about a Czar's wife, when it comes to terminating Chrysler's dealers?


From Instapundit:

UPDATE: A reader notes something about “car czar” Steven Rattner: “Rattner is married to Maureen White, the former National Finance Chair for the Democratic Party.” The comment: “So one of the guys advising SecTreas on this thing is married to someone who used to be one of the people in charge of fundraising for the Democratic Party. This explains so much it’s scary.”  Well, it bears a close look.

Empathy' in Action

By Thomas Sowell

 

 

 

 

 

http://www.JewishWorldReview.com | It is one of the signs of our times that so many in the media are focusing on the life story of Judge Sonia Sotomayor, President Obama's nominee for the Supreme Court of the United States.


You might think that this was some kind of popularity contest, instead of a weighty decision about someone whose impact on the fundamental law of the nation will extend for decades after Barack Obama has come and gone.


Much is being made of the fact that Sonia Sotomayor had to struggle to rise in the world. But stop and think.


If you were going to have open heart surgery, would you want to be operated on by a surgeon who was chosen because he had to struggle to get where he is or by the best surgeon you could find— even if he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and had every advantage that money and social position could offer?


If it were you who was going to be lying on that operating table with his heart cut open, you wouldn't give a tinker's damn about somebody's struggle or somebody else's privileges.

The Supreme Court of the United States is in effect operating on the heart of our nation— the Constitution and the statutes and government policies that all of us must live under.

New York Taxpayers voting with their feet

May 18, 2009

Ethel C. Fenig

Proving former President Ronald Reagan's (R) adage that taxpayers vote with their feet, Tom Precious of the Buffalo News reports that billionaire  Buffalo Sabres' owner Thomas Golisano will save a reported $13,000 a day by moving from NY to Florida - punishing high income workers in New York state with a huge tax increase:

Gov. David A. Paterson (D) and lawmakers approved a state budget that will raise $4 billion in new income taxes this year on wealthier residents. In Golisano's case -and anyone else making more than $500,000 this year - he is seeing his state tax rate go from 6.85 percent to 8.97 percent.


But the departure of Golisano, perhaps along with others, puts that $4 billion bonus in question. Indeed, if the tax spurs enough higher income residents to flee the state--taking their companies, spending habits and other revenue generators with them--the tax can actually decrease state revenues.

Dead People Get Stimulus Checks

Updated: Thursday, 14 May 2009, 10:30 PM EDT
Published : Thursday, 14 May 2009, 5:28 PM EDT

MYFOXNY.COM - This week, thousands of people are getting stimulus checks in the mail. The problem is that a lot of them are dead. A Long Island woman was shocked when she checked the mail and received a letter from the U.S. Treasury -- but it wasn't for her.

Antoniette Santopadre of Valley Stream was expecting a $250 stimulus check. But when her son finally opened it, they saw that the check was made out to her father, Romolo Romonini, who died in Italy 34 years ago. He'd been a U.S. citizen when he left for Italy in 1933, but only returned to the United Stated for a seven-month visit in 1969.

U.S. Government Now Has a Financial Stake in the Sobriety of Chinese Prostitutes

Wednesday, May 13, 2009

Posted by: Jillian Bandes at 4:36 PM

Via CNS:

The National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAA), a part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), will pay $2.6 million in U.S. tax dollars to train Chinese prostitutes to drink responsibly on the job.

..."We anticipate that the venue-based intervention program will be culturally appropriate, feasible, effective and sustainable in alcohol use and sexual risk reduction among FSWs," says the NIH grant abstract.

..Ralph Hingson, director of epidemiology and prevention research at NIAA...said that Americans will be able to apply the studies findings to the American situation because 1.2 million Americans are currently living with HIV.

 

NOW THAT IS STIMULATING!!!

 

WHY ARE WE PAYING FOR THIS???

Which one are you?

 Are you a Democrat, a Republican, or a Redneck?

Here is a little test that will help you decide:

The answer can be found by posing the following question:



You're walking down a deserted street with your wife and two small children.

Suddenly, an Islamic terrorist with a huge knife comes around the corner, locks eyes with you, screams obscenities, praises Allah, raises the knife, and charges at you.

You are carrying a Colt Model 1911 .45 cal automatic pistol, and you are an expert shot.

You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family.


What do you do?

..........................

....................................


THINK CAREFULLY AND THEN SCROLL DOWN:



Democrat's Answer:


Well, that's not enough information to answer the question!
Does the man look poor or oppressed?
Have I ever done anything to him that would inspire him to attack?
Could we run away?
What does my wife think?
What about the kids?
Could I possibly swing the gun, like a club and knock the knife out of his hand?
What does the law, say about this situation?
Does the pistol, have appropriate safety built into it?
Why am I carrying a loaded gun anyway, and what kind of message does this send to society and to my children?
Is it possible he'd be happy with just killing me?
Does he definitely want to kill me, or would he be content just to wound me?
If I were to grab his knees and hold on, could my family get away while he was stabbing me?
Should I call 911?
Why is this street so deserted?
We need to raise taxes, have paint and weed day and make this happier, healthier street that would discourage such behavior.
This is all so confusing!

I need to debate this with some friends for few days and try to come to a consensus.

Obama Jobs Deficit Grows by Another 563,000

May 8, 2009

by J.D. Foster, Ph.D.

WebMemo #2430

Today's release of the nation's employment figures by the Department of Labor puts the final touches on the "Obama's first 100 days story."[1] Through his first 100 days in office, employment has dropped by about 2 million jobs[2] while the unemployment rate has hit 8.9 percent, the highest in almost 26 years.[3]

Of course, President Obama's policies cannot be blamed for these job losses. They reflect the Global Great Recession, which was well underway before his term in office began. However, the President has repeatedly pledged to create 3.5 million new jobs by 2010. He has also repeatedly emphasized accountability and measuring his presidency by results. The President's jobs promise means total employment should be at least 138.6 million by 2010, leaving him with a deficit to close of about 6.2 million jobs.

Unfortunately, the President's policies will more likely decrease employment than help to reach his target. Policies like higher tax rates on small businesses, sustained massive budget deficits, doubling the national debt (and the consequent upward pressure on interest rates), and the building threats of government meddling in companies are eroding the foundations of the economy today and for the future.

Liberals and O's Afghanistan policy

May 11, 2009

James Lewis
Obama is following George W. Bush in making war, not love. Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan. Bush dropped bombs on those places, and all we heard about was gut-wrenching wailing and screaming from the Left for eight years because of all the innocent people who died. Now O is doing the same thing ... and all we hear are the sounds of silence.

Where's Mother Sheehan and her band of flacks? Why aren't they camping in Lafayette Park?

Whatever you call it, the O Gang has turned into a huge setback for all sincere peaceniks. So --- why aren't they out there in their noisy hundreds of thousands, marching on Washington, D.C., and demonstrating against war and killing? Why aren't they yelling at Nancy Pelosi and Jay Rockefeller for lying and lying and lying --- for almost eight long years --- about their guilty knowledge of torture?

Or ... maybe they are
not so sincere after all?

Maybe all the deafening screams during the W years were just for show?

Maybe our peaceniks hated W more than they loved the victims of US Imperialist Aggression?

Does it really matter that O is sanctioning those bombings rather than W?  Or is it just that Afghans don't count? Or Iraqis? Is it because they are Muslims, or just because they have swarthy skins? Is the Left secretly ... racist?

If you use the impeccable logic of the Left from 9/11 to the Coming of O, that's the
only possible conclusion.

Now they have to prove they're
not racist Islamophobes.

That's how this game is played, isn't it?  They look Guilty! Guilty! Guilty! And now they must prove their innocence.

I'm waiting.

White House: Budget deficit to top $1.8 trillion

White House: Budget deficit to top $1.8 trillion, 4 times 2008's record

Andrew Taylor, Associated Press Writer

On Monday May 11, 2009, 11:55 am EDT

WASHINGTON (AP) -- With the economy performing worse than hoped, revised White House figures point to deepening budget deficits, with the government borrowing almost 50 cents for every dollar it spends this year.

The deficit for the current budget year will rise by $89 billion to above $1.8 trillion -- about four times the record set just last year. The unprecedented red ink flows from the deep recession, the Wall Street bailout, the cost of President Barack Obama's economic stimulus bill, as well as a structural imbalance between what the government spends and what it takes in.

Under Restructuring, GM To Build More Cars Overseas

By Peter Whoriskey

Washington Post Staff Writer
Friday, May 8, 2009

The U.S. government is pouring billions into General Motors in hopes of reviving the domestic economy, but when the automaker completes its restructuring plan, many of the company's new jobs will be filled by workers overseas.

According to an outline the company has been sharing privately with Washington legislators, the number of cars that GM sells in the United States and builds in Mexico, China and South Korea will roughly double.

The proportion of GM cars sold domestically and manufactured in those low-wage countries will rise from 15 percent to 23 percent over the next five years, according to the figures contained in a 12-page presentation offered to lawmakers in response to their questions about overseas production.

As a result, the long-simmering argument over U.S. manufacturers expanding production overseas -- normally arising between unions and private companies -- is about to engage the Obama administration.

Essentially in control of the company, the president's autos task force faces an awkward choice: It can either require General Motors to keep more jobs at home, potentially raising labor costs at a company already beset with financial woes, or it can risk political fury by allowing the automaker to expand operations at lower-cost manufacturing locations.

'Empathy' versus law

EXTERPT:

Those people who just accept soothing words from politicians they like are gambling with the future of a nation. If you were German, would you be in favor of a law "to relieve the distress of the German people and nation"? That was the law that gave Hitler dictatorial power.

He was just another German chancellor at the time. He was not elected on a platform of war, dictatorship or genocide. He got the power to do those things because of a law "to relieve the distress of the German people."

When you buy words, you had better know what you are buying.

US Foreign Debt jumps to 35% of GDP

May 06, 2009

By Raymond Richman, Howard Richman, and Jesse Richman

 

On April 21, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) projected (see the World Economic Outlook, pp. 36-37) that the US foreign debt will increase from about 4.5% of world GDP in 2007 to about 9% in 2009. Given that the US foreign debt was 17.7% of US GDP at the end of 2007, this means that our foreign debt will be about 35% of US GDP.

Obama wins a battle in the war on corporate jets

April 30, 2009

Thomas Lifson

Cessna has announced that it is suspending development of a midsize corporate jet, the Citation Columbus, closing the factory in Bend, OR where the plane was being created. The company will return $50 million in deposits already received from willing customers. Cessna's Citation jets generally are among the smaller models on offer, but the company was hoping to expand into a more lucrative segment of the market, until flying a corporate jet became politically unfashionable. The company hopes to resume development at some point in the future.*

Additionally, the company is sending layoff notices to 1,600 employees "at every level" including 700 salaried employees.
