They’re Counting On the Sheep…..

“I am not afraid of an army of lions led by a sheep, I’m afraid of an army of sheep led by a lion.”  

- Alexander the Great

 

As so many of my ideas seem to arrive in my head, so did the launching point for today’s article whilst sitting in Church yesterday. (As did the idea to toss a “whilst” at you from the opening line of said article!) Anyway, during the very well received sermon yesterday morning, Isaiah 53:6 was read……”We all, like sheep, have gone astray. Each of us has turned to his own way.” While I’m sure there have been many more clever ways of expressing the same sentiments over the years, surely none have carried more weight. Their impact comes from the truth they carry. We have lost our way, but not just spiritually. Oh no, my friends…..we have a long way to go before we even reach the starting point of a spiritual journey. I’m talking about all the other paths we have chosen to follow as a country. We’re sheep. I know it’s a tired, played out analogy that radio hosts like to throw around amidst annoying sound effects and shameless plugs, but it doesn’t make it any less accurate. We are sheep. Each and every one of us.

Sheep are dumb. Sheep are happily oblivious to the fact that they are being led to slaughter. They are only concerned with following. They willingly walk to their deaths for the sake of being “part of the crowd.” Do we not do the same thing? Again I ask you, if we are not mindless sheep following the ideas and say-so of someone else, then how do you explain Ugg Boots? How do you explain the popularity of Chihuahuas? Someone popular did it, so we must also do it. It’s ingrained in us at an early age and sadly, it gets worse the older you get. Sheep are defenseless. Have you ever seen a sheep taking charge and leading the herd? They move as an amorphous blob, with no identifiable leader or direction among them. They are completely dependent upon outside influence. Again, if someone can draw a legitimate difference between the behavior of a herd of sheep and the majority of the US Population then I will gladly hear it. I’m betting anyone with enough intelligence to articulate such a thought also has enough wits to know one would be inaccurate. We follow. No matter how strong a person believes themselves to be, they are following something. There is someone ahead of you that keeps you moving in one direction. You don’t have to admit out loud, we all know it’s true. The rich follow the expense. The beautiful follow the attention. The weak follow the loud. The strong follow the challenge. We all follow something, even if that something is leading us to the slaughter. Sheep are filthy. Dogs clean themselves; birds have bird baths: cats even have the luxury of plopping down in the most inopportune spot and doing that weird, stretchy leg, butt to ankle in one swipe of the tongue thing. (Seriously, it’s creepy!) Have you ever seen a sheep bathing itself? No! Can you imagine wearing a thick, wool suit into the pool? A sheep’s hygiene really has nothing to do with this analogy, I just wanted to put that cat image in your heads. Sorry.

We’ve all been led astray. Those who deny such a claim have been led astray by their own arrogance. There is only one Shepherd’s Call to which our ears should be tuned, but unfortunately that’s just not the way He designed His flock. While living our lives, and running our country, and our homes according to the Word of God would be a terrific way of doing things, it’s simply not possible from where we stand today. There are myriad common sense changes we must make just to clear the path to the starting line of a collective spiritual journey, but that’s not to say we don’t get out the machetes and start the revolution. That’s the general feeling I get as we open this new year. Americans are sick of the “doom and gloom” mentality. The world is not going to end this year and we’re sick of being told to prepare as if it is. The United States of America is not too far gone and the people who make up this great country are getting a good old fashioned revolutionary feeling in their bones. It has nothing to do with the horrendous political landscape before us but more to do with the overall attitudes being shoved down our throats. There seems to be a general feeling of community as we look at the months ahead. There seems to be a sense of hope and encouragement no politician could possibly deliver. This is the kind of determined will that only the people of the United States can deliver to the world. It was not a politician that brought about the industrialization of the world. The presidents overseeing the information age have had about as much to do with it as I had to do with the Miracle on Ice. The American spirit brought about the significant ages of our country and the same will hold true in our very near future. We have to take that first step. Unelecting (that’s copyrighted, by the way) our current President will be a good start, but even more important is who succeeds him. Will it be another politician stubbornly loyal to the views of his party or will it finally be another “step back and let America do what America does best” type of leader. (Yes, any kind of ‘leader’ would be an improvement!) The changes we want can only be delivered by us, and I think people are finally starting to wake up to that fact. We need to make some common sense changes, but we are the ones who will make them.

CEO salaries when compared to the average employee are running at a ratio of 320:1. depending on which source you believe. Some list it as high as 475:1 but with the convoluted mess we have allowed to fester in terms of pay structures and stock options and incentives…….okay, I get it! Some changes are needed but to demand a ratio of 1:1 is even more absurd. Everyone in this country is not equal.  Everyone in this country could be given the chance to contribute equally to a common goal, but such a dream is centuries away from the world we’ve built around ourselves. Common sense will tell us that CEO’s are taking advantage, in some cases, but not all of them. Do I believe that the guy smoking pot out behind the Jack In The Box up the street from my house deserves to make the same salary as the genius behind all those commercials? NO!! I do not! Changes are needed but they will not be the over-inflated, skewed changes depicted in carefully written political speeches.

Morality waved bye-bye to the United States about the time Paris Hilton was given a primetime TV show. Kids in California are being read stories by an active pornstar and driven to same sex wedding ceremonies during school hours because both have been deemed “teachable moments.” You know what; you’ve derailed! America is ready to take back the futures of our children from the catastrophic failure that is our Public School System. PLEASE do not read that as me saying there are no good teachers out there. There are terrific teachers in almost every school in the country. They are sincere in their mission but restrained by the greed of their unions and the system they own. There seems to be movement in the attitudes on that front as well. We’re ready to inject morality back into the lives of our kids who are learning confusing concepts well before the innocence of their youths have expired.

Free speech is a concept worth defending, but America seems ready to take it back from those who use it as a channel for their own lunacy. Yes, you have the right to say what you want, but that does not mean you get to impact the life of my children because your own beliefs are somehow more protected than my rights as a parent. That’s not what the founding fathers had in mind. I will gladly defend the idea of free speech in this country but I believe such a concept gives no shelter to men like the cowards at Westboro Baptist Church. The concept of free speech assumed that the men and women of this country would apply enough common sense to it’s use that law would not have to intervene.

This country is tired of being led to the slaughter by sadistic shepherds. Our leaders spend our money on things we don’t want. They spend our money on things that do absolutely nothing to enhance the future we hope to see. They do all this while we continue to follow one another to the slaughtering house. No more. Like a gawky, teenage boy entering puberty, our collective voices are beginning to change from the timid bleats of the lambs our leaders believe us to be into the intimidating roars of the lions we have always been. We will take back control of not only the political leadership in this country, but also the general direction in which we seem to be headed. Take control wherever you see an opportunity. Demand more from those who call themselves our ‘leaders.’ In fact, demand they refer to themselves as our ‘servants’ because that’s all they are. This idea that an elected official is better than the people they represent has come to an end. This is our year, dammit!

As always, thanks for playing!

Misleading TheM asses…..(Oops! I Meant To Say “The Masses.”)

“Through clever and constant application of propaganda, people can be made to see paradise as hell, and also the other way round, to consider the most wretched sort of life as paradise.”  

- Adolf Hitler

 

Wow! Didn’t that crazy little man from Austria just accurately describe the actions of someone in power today? Before you liberal whackos start sending me hate mail saying that I compared Barack Hussein Obama to Hitler, I didn’t. Save your breath and keystrokes. I compared Obama’s actions to those described in Hitler’s quote. It’s an accurate comparison, I looked it up. Now, stop reading my articles…..they’re not meant for you!

The liberal friendly media is going to make sure you know everything there is to know about Bain Capital over the next several months. Unfortunately, the spin they will put on their descriptions of this firm are jaded and manipulative to say the least. Here are a few facts to keep in mind throughout the initial volley. If we refuse to let their negative attempts take root, the issue will quickly die.

Mitt Romney was hired by Bain & Company as a consultant but would later serve as their CEO. He pulled the firm from the brink of disaster and, once the parent firm had reached a self sustaining level of profit, started a spinoff firm known as Bain Capital. He took that small startup and made it one of the largest firms of it’s kind in a terribly short period of time. Yes, some people lost their jobs. Sadly, that’s the way it goes sometimes. When a company is facing obliteration and someone decides to turn things around, blame is often identified and laziness ushered out the door. There will always be people who object to change simply because they don’t want to work any harder. They haven’t bought into the overall mission. They believe the status quo should remain unchanged despite negative results. Those people are usually fired. (Hint, hint, Barackula!!) The termination of employees who, in one way or another, negatively impacted the forward mission of the company were let go. It’s sad, yes; but it does not mean that Mitt Romney is bad for jobs. In fact, lets take a look at a few real numbers being skillfully avoided in all negative reports about the current GOP front-runner.

Obama brags about adding 200,000 jobs to the Labor Force in December. Nice try genius, but most of that was temporary Holiday help. Did anyone go to the mall the week before Christmas? How about Best Buy? Did it seem like there were quite a few unfamiliar faces? Do you think they’re still there? No, they were temporary help for a temporary surge in consumer volume. The people who buy into those numbers as a win for His Obamanency will soon be crushed when January’s numbers show a drop of about 200,000 jobs. Obama is facing voters with the highest unemployment rate of any sitting president since World War II, yet he brags and manipulates. He uses “clever and constant application of propaganda” (sound familiar?) to make us believe that he’s turning things around when all he’s actually doing is lying creatively. With an average unemployment rate of 8.9% in 2011 Obama brags about adding a few hundred thousand jobs as if all problems are facing extinction. There were approximately 13,839,500 people out of work last year but thanks to the valiant and tireless efforts of our SHOTUS (Super Hero Of The United States…..”In” the United States would make a more fitting acronym!) we have seen that number drop to what we’re told is a MUCH better 13,639,500…..for a month. Thanks, your immanency. (By the way: I will continue to state the 2011 unemployment average as closer to 9.1% until someone can tell me why the eligible labor force inexplicably added 1 million people in September and October of 2011. Don’t say it was for Holidays because they were subtracted in November!)

Romney, on the other hand, took a startup company and propelled it to dominance in just a few years. Yes, he made himself a LOT of money along the way. In the industry in which he was thriving, income is the truest measure of success. Instead of painting him as a greedy fat-cat, why don’t we look at the fact that he succeeded in one of the toughest, most fiercely competitive industries on the planet. 

The media will do everything in their power to make you believe that Romney was a “draft dodger” during the Vietnam War. This too is categorically false. Please understand that Romney came from a very powerful, wealthy, and politically connected family. The left will have you believe that makes him evil, but let me ask you this….do you believe that Brad and Angelina’s children would be drafted into a military draft today or would they be given some kind of deferment? Would Bill Gates’ kids be shipped off to war? If you answered yes to either, you should stop reading here. You’re delusional. Still, Romney honored his obligation to the Mormon Church and had remarkable success in getting wine loving Frenchmen to convert to a religion that forbids alcohol. He was quickly promoted to Assistant to the Mission President in Paris, the highest position attainable by a missionary. In 1968, a car Romney was driving was struck by another car. Romney was not at fault but the crash killed the wife of the Mission President and rocked the entire mission. Disorganization and insurmountable grief throughout the mission launched Romney into the position of Co-President. He rallied the troops and they achieved 200 baptisms that year, more than any other year in over a decade. While stationed in France, Mitt Romney continued his defense of the United States presence in Vietnam in the face of French hippies. Can you imagine anything less attractive?

On the other hand, we have the man accusing Romney of being a draft dodger. Can someone please explain to me why Obama feels he has the right to question anybody’s service record with regard to the United States Military? Of course, Obama would never be so careless as to say anything himself, he just instructs his fleet of Wasserman-Schultz’s to spread the word.

While Barack Hussein Obama and his little media disciples may try to get in your head with their twisted facts and imagined numbers, please look at the track  records. Romney has had success wherever he’s gone it seems. His life has been one of determination and integrity. His overhyped opponent has led a life of mystery and unexplained gaps. Obama bypasses the Constitution of the United States to force his ideology down our throats despite proven failure. Please be smart enough to fend off any of the maniacal attacks that are sure to come Romney’s way in the upcoming weeks.

Now, for all you fervent Ron Paul supporters……when your man is the frontrunner, I’ll do a comparison of him and Obama. I’m sure he’ll come out ahead too, but right now, he’s in third. Settle down and stop demanding that I give him undue attention. If his time comes, I will give him an equal amount of research .

As always, thanks for playing!

Do Your Part To Support Capitalism

Should Be Considered Armed and Dangerous….(PART TWO)

“Trickery and treachery are the practices of fools that have not the wits enough to be honest.”  

- Benjamin Franklin

 

 

While Mitt Romney may have won in anything but convincing fashion in Iowa last night, the parity among our choices brings to light a potential disaster. I have yet to hear anyone commit to one candidate with whole-hearted passion. No one is backing a specific candidate unless that candidate’s last name happens to be “Anyonebutobama.” This is the same mentality we despised in 2008 when George Soros and the other progressive enlightened’s were blasting Bush and promoting their ideology as superior to anything we could possibly comprehend. We were right to question that mentality in them and we cannot afford to let it corrupt our own thinking now. Our critics are boisterous and they have a stage we will never be able to control. Uninformed men like Warren J. Warren of Alaska who offered his own well spoken opinion last week when he offered the words that seem to encapsulate the cry of Obamanites everywhere. “…..{Conservative devils} believe anything that is untruth about the best man that was electric to the office of the presidency in a long time.” (Yes, it’s true. This is the mail I receive that fuels my rage. These people vote, they breed, they share our resources.)

Today, I’ll continue to explore the humorous list of accolades listed on Obama’s website. While Obamunism is shouted from the treetops by such experts as Debbie Wasserman Schultz with her confusing accent, tone, and Adam’s apple - the truth falls in a different zip code than the tired rhetoric. She has become the spokeswoman for Barack Hussein Obama’s falsified accomplishments. She, like the rest of Obama’s supporters are long on demagogic rhetoric but short on details. Today, they blast Mitt Romney’s jobs record, dragging up heavily manipulated numbers from a corporate takeover Romney oversaw decades ago. Yes, people lost their jobs in that endeavor, but isn’t that kind of the norm in such events? Ms. Wasserman, I have a question…..did you take the time to look at the real jobs numbers tied to your messiah? They suck. They really suck! Clever deflections like “I haven’t seen anyone back that up with facts” may buy you some credibility among those willing to overlook catastrophic failures but to those of us who know you’re full of crap, it just makes you look even more foolish.

Yesterday we looked at the Jobs / Economy tab of Obama’s Website with utter disbelief. Honestly, if I hadn’t been required to navigate my way through several pages of donation requests and “carefully candid” photos of the First Family, I would have assumed the site was a humorous parody of the President’s track record, but sadly it’s not. Today, I’ll walk you through the accomplishments Obama believes he has made in the areas of education. The trend I noticed is that all of Obama’s so called accomplishments center around our money being given to his supporters. There are no mentions of results in any of the “blocks” of brag-points on his page but there are plenty of dollar figures.

For example, in the very first block, Obamalama brags about spending $12 Billion on his Community College Initiative. That’s it. That’s the accomplishment. The results, however are not nearly as pride-inducing. Since the “bold and visionary” incentive was launched in 2009, students are taking longer to graduate. This is a direct contradiction to the stated goal of the initiative. Class sizes are larger but per student budgets are significantly down. Tuition costs are rising despite promises to the contrary. The Delta Cost Project states that “community colleges bore the brunt of cuts in support of higher education.”

In another block titled “Supporting Teachers and Students” Obama again brags about the amount of money he’s thrown at a problem. The fact that the money did absolutely nothing to change the overall landscape of the American Education System is never mentioned. Besides, does anyone else feel like the “and Students” was added to the end of the block title in a sort of “oh, crap! We’d better mention the kids” kind of public relations ploy? After receiving $60 Billion in funding, National Education Association (NEA) President Dennis Van Roekel responded “what’s actually needed is more than they’re willing to spend.” Now, my Dad always tells me to be nice and to avoid personal attacks, but my competitive spirit forbids me to fear a man named Dennis Van Roekel. Sorry, Dad but I want to give this man a life-altering wedgie! Oddly enough, the NEA contributed $56 million to democratic campaigns last year. Again, my money is being spent on things I despise.

The block that literally made my blood boil is the one titled “Reforming No Child Left Behind.” Apparently, we were all too simple to see the glaring weaknesses in this plan as it stood when the benign sovereign took office. When congress wouldn’t rally around Obamunism as the chosen one demanded, he decided he didn’t need Congressional approval for his actions. Congressional approval is only needed by presidents who lack his superior understanding of all things American. Obama, casting legalities into the same dungeon as his true birthplace, decided that he would revise the act so that he could bribe states to bend to his will and he did so WITHOUT approval from ANY of the necessary authorities. Obama has offered waivers to states that adopt his suggested curriculum. (I’m sure it’s extremely fair, balanced, and truthful.) Seriously, Obama’s education record is written like a bad Chicago crime series. Waivers force mediocrity down the throats and futures of our children, but indoctrination is so vital to the administration that they’re willing to break THREE federal laws to get it done. From the start, No Child Left Behind has given too much influence to government but at least the original version offered accountability. Now, it is simply extortion written with big words and confusing sentence structure.

The Constitution does not give government the authority to affect curriculum. Stop it! Our schools are broken. The unions running them are corrupt beyond imagination. Teachers are not rewarded for results, test scores, or impact in the life of a child. Instead, those without unionized tenure are forced to spend their own, limited income to provide their students with effective teaching implements yet they are still eligible for termination. Those who have met union requirements of tenure can’t be fired, questioned, or held accountable for any of the horrendously under-prepared students they spit out of their classrooms year after year. Examine the voucher system, immediately! We can’t afford another generation of voters educated in such a corrupt, manipulated system. My children’s education is too important to be left to the agenda of any politician or union. The system is corrupt, end it and start a new one. Simple, right?

As always, thanks for playing!

    What the heck does "electric to the office" mean? I can't defeat someone with a tenuous grasp of the English language but I can sure as heck vote their oblivious leader right into unemployment! I will reiterate, for the sake of ending this conversation; Warren J Warren, you're entering a battle with no weapons in your arsenal. Obama is, BY FAR, the worst President we've ever had. His policies are based in lunacy and liberal fairy tales. You have a limited understanding of government and your defense of the worst president we've ever had is all the evidence I will need. You're more than welcome to support Obama and follow him back to his mother-land when he's freed from the restraints of elected office next year. Take all your well spoken, progressive enlightened's with you! End of conversation.

Do Your Part to Support Capitalism…..And Conservative Devils Everywhere!

 

Should Be Considered Armed and Dangerous…..(PART ONE)

“However beautiful the strategy, you should occasionally look at the results.”    ~ Winston Churchill

 

The fact that your eyes have come to rest on these words means I care too much about you to subject you to the insane ramblings of our current president and those who produce his 2012 Campaign Website. I have jumped on that grenade for you. Call it a bout of New Years’ generosity; perhaps it was simply a morbid curiosity, but somehow I found myself staring straight down the barrel of Barack Hussein Obama’s website yesterday. If I didn’t know any better, I would have assumed the site was a parody. I would have assumed that some right-wing genius put this site together for the sheer joy of getting Obamanites to read the sarcastic slams as praise. The more I read, the more I realized just how delusional the man at the helm of our country truly is. Listening to his supporters is like listening to the University of Missouri fans with which I am constantly surrounded talking about their impending “dominance of the South Eastern Conference football schedule.” To both groups: your loyalty is cute, but it simply isn’t based in fact, logic, or any resemblance of truth. Your beliefs are passionately defended but axiomatically false. Still, the armory Barack Obama has built is one meant for an all out war. He’s got money. He’s got the media. And scariest of all, he’s got hordes of loyal followers who blindly believe any statement, claim, or lie out of his mouth. He’s armed to the teeth and so must we make ourselves. After all, winning the battle doesn’t make you a great warrior, forcing your enemy into submission without a fight is the truest test of a great warrior.  Can we rise up and usher Obama into that decision, please?

Today, we’ll look at the “Jobs and The Economy” tab of Obama’s site. It takes you a while to get there, and doing so requires navigating your way through pictures of our sovereign leader with the skill and agility of Indiana Jones but the comedic relief you will find upon arrival is well worth the hair raising journey. Right off the bat, in the very first block in this sub-page, Obama proudly claims his advanced support to the Asian and Pacific Island Communities. Next block – American Jobs Act and the African American Family. In the eyes of this great bastion of racial equality, the self proclaimed beacon of hope, almighty promoter of change…..groups of Americans should receive government assistance based on their race? Does that mean we should be expecting to see a “How I’m Looking Out For Whitey” tab on his page in the upcoming months? Can one of you enlightened progressives please explain to me how funding a group of people based on their race is not racist but saying that Obama is a complete failure as a president IS racist? I’ve tried. I’ve sat around my drum-circle, I’ve hired a medium to channel the spirit of Ted Kennedy, I’ve tried everything. I simply can’t understand the double standard.

In the next block of Barack Hussein Obama’s “economic brag-page”, we’re told of his unquestionable success when it comes to “Investing in American Manufacturing and Invention”. Are you freaking kidding me? I’m just saying….if I were the Dallas Cowboys, I wouldn’t be bragging about my dominant defensive backfield this morning! Obamanites simply don’t see the correlation between their blessed buffoon and Solyndra or A123 Systems. Do the collectively uninformed honestly not see how this Green Energy Loan Program has cost each and every one of us roughly $116.50? That’s one-hundred-sixteen dollars that Obama himself has reached into your pocket and stolen. If you’re wondering how I arrived at that specific number, I’ll explain later in the article, I promise. Suffice it to say, reelecting this embodiment of financial idiocy would be the equivalent of buying shares of Enron or MCI. His “bold” and “visionary” earmarking of $36 BILLION of our money for alternative energy firms has failed conclusively yet he dares to brag about his investment results? 8.6% of this country is out of work, yet Obama spends $36 BILLION of our money on firms that were unlikely to produce a profit. Most of that money has been completely squandered. Solyndra is bankrupt. A123 Systems is laying off instead of creating the jobs we were told our investment would bring. Maybe Obama and the left simply don’t understand what an investment is. An investment is a commitment of capital to an enterprise that has a good prospect  of producing a reasonable profit. Nowhere in that definition do I see anything about shoving your own misguided, liberal agenda down the throats of the people paying the tab.

Here, I’ll break it down even further. If you were alive in 1911 and invested $10,000 of your own money……let’s say it was spread evenly over the entire US Stock Index, your net value would be roughly $3,400,000 today. That’s a 6.24 adjusted rate of return over the past 100 years, and even more shocking, it’s roughly $36,003,400,000  better than President Obama has done with OUR money. If your personal financial advisor produced that kind of return for your family, wouldn’t you fire him? If you opened up your monthly statement and saw a ($36,000,000,000) market value, would you require new undies? Yet he brags. The companies that so often get all the blame and ire of the left and those in the Occupy Wall Street bunch; companies like Chevron and the evil Exxon are posting 41 – 48 percent profits, yet they are heralded as greedy, unfair, fat-cats. The world now looks at the dollar like we look at a short, curly, hair floating in our soup yet Obama is presented to us as a visionary. Great! He’s good at daydreaming! This $36 Billion loan program was part of a stimulus package passed in 2009. We’re just now feeling the effects of that lunacy. Can you imagine how bad things will be in 2014 if he’s reelected?

Mr. President, and I use the formal salutation only out of respect for the office, not the man; please stop pandering to the equally uninformed and giving them a voice. Your bold video posted on your site about how you stand with those who demand change on Wall Street may get you a few votes from morons with protest signs but like so many of your other claims, does not stand the test of honest inspection. You have taken more from Wall Street influence than all other Presidents combined so we don’t want to hear your pathetic groveling at the feet of those who epitomize your belief system. You should be ashamed of the fact that your ideology can be so plainly seen in Wall Street protests. The official slogan of your party and all they believe should be “I’ll Have What He’s Earning.” 

Small businesses cannot succeed with more of your regulations, taxations, costs, and failing economy. We’re suffering out here. You have the luxury of sitting in the well protected bubble of your own fame, spending money that does not belong to you on things that none of us want. We’ve spent $36 billion on green energy loans that produce either nothing, or something that nobody will buy. You get to say “oops” while the rest of us watch our futures get darker and darker. Your life, and the lives of your family will be protected and cushioned until you draw your last breaths while roughly 26.6 Americans are out of work as a result of your failed leadership. With a population of approximately 309,000,000, that $36 billion could have been $116.50 in each and every set of hands (or $58.25 per hand) in the United States.

Obama brags on his site about “creating or saving 224,500 jobs” by sending emergency funding to a teacher’s union. (That will be covered in our future discussion about the “Education” tab of his site.) There are 26.6 million people unemployed today, but thanks for chipping our money into the coffers of a corrupt, heavily liberal group of your fervent supporters. How courageous of you. He brags about bailing out GM and Chrysler and takes credit for their prompt repayment of stimulus money. Not mentioned was the fact that Obama used that money lent to the automakers as his justification for demanding such calamities as the Chevy Volt.  The idea is sound. The path to success is easily seen, but like so many other liberal ideas, it simply doesn’t account for real life constants like the fact that no-one will buy a car that only goes 40 miles before needing to charge for 10 hours. Obama believed he could invest hundreds of millions of dollars into companies that would produce components of electric cars and then bailout GM in exchange for their aggressive marketing of a car that just so happens to use the aforementioned components. He would be earning huge returns all over the place. He would single handedly save us all. We would carry him off the field on our shoulders, chanting Barry, Barry, Barry! The problem is that he assumed we all think like he does. Well, he assumed we all think like he does and he fell asleep watching Rudy on TV. Electric cars have been a pipe-dream for decades, but they are impractical and unproven. An alternative is out there but it will never be discovered by regulation. It will never be beaten out with political influence. It will come from the very spirit Obama’s so called genius is stifling, strangling, suffocating, and drowning at every turn. It will come from the economic system that Obama despises.

These points, while looked at through the comedic lens of knowing Obama’s days are numbered, are not viewed through that lens by those in his corner. Unfortunately, those in his corner include the media and some very outspoken groups. These “accomplishments” that he so arrogantly brags about could be the very weapons he uses to blast his way into a second term if we are not careful. This suspect should be considered well armed and extremely dangerous until such time as his weaponry has been diffused with logic, reason, justification, and an overwhelming defeat in the 2012 Election.

As always, thanks for playing….
