If it isn't Oprah, then it is Ellen who parades these pathetic whiney people who need, want and demand more attention for doing nothing more than breathing on their own. Breathing, as it turns out, is the only damn thing these people can do on their own. "My husband is in the military and we get by penny to penny"...boo fricking hoo. Really? Your husband joined a VOLUNTARY army, is fighting in a war that does nothing to keep America safe...yeah, I said it.
This country hasn't been in a war to preserve freedom in 70 years. If we wanted to end terrorism, for real...then why did we take 11 years to comb through a dessert giving money to everyone and their camel and it still did no damn good. Maybe if we build a billion dollar embassy in Iraq, that will show we care? Nope. Maybe if we subsidize drug growers in Afghanistan, they will like us? Nope. Maybe if we level an entire country and DON'T REBUILD it, they will at least fear us and think twice about sending Mohammadites with bombs in their skivies? Oh, we can't try that!!! That is inhumane. Really? What is inhumane is what we are doing around the world to get the world to like us...with money that we don't have. But I digress...let's talk about whiney broad...How many people below poverty have kids? Shame on them for having kids before being ready financially. Next. Yes...it is that easy to dismiss people like this, because I DON'T HAVE A BUNCH OF KIDS that I can't afford to raise. Why do we cry for these people who put themselves into situations where their husband is humping through sand, and they can't afford anything nice at home...I'm tired of people saying they are barely getting by. NO YOU ARE NOT. You have a car, a home, medical insurance, food, PX to shop at...what the hell do you want, a plaque?
Let us take a look at how evil we are, and how badly we treat people:
TANF program of the government gives cash to people...yes, cash...it is temporary...
Child Support in the way of clothing and food stamps by the government
Child Care subsidized by the government...by the way, "the government" is YOU...the taxpayer...you evil assholes who don't care about the poor.
Utility Assistance in the way of subsidized Heat, Electric, Gas and Water. I don't get help on my bills...but I help the poor with every paycheck.
Food assistance...in schools and with food stamps. Yup...and they can get whatever they want in the way of liquor and tobacco now, because they don't have to spend it on bread and cheese. Nice...you're welcome.
Medical Assistance. Medicaid, Emergency Rooms etc. Anyone know how much is taken out of their check every month for health care? Jesus Christ...
Vocational Rehab services...for people who probably didn't study in school, but now need the government to help them when they are 30 and unemployable.
Housing Subsidies...because We the People, in order to form a more perfect union, have to put a roof over every lazy drug using whore and deadbeat...I think it goes something like that? no?
The point of this is not to bash the poor...they are poor for one reason or another, and too many of them are poor because of choices they made. The point of this is to show that we are not kicking them while they are down, we are pouring money into the system that keeps them from having to do anything more than breath for a living. When do we, not the 1%, but the 53%, say NO MORE. Greece has 25% of it's working population working for the government. That means that 1 in four people is getting direct money from the other 3 to do a job that could be done cheaper, better and faster by people in the private sector...but then they would be ADDING to the kitty...instead of just being a recipient of tax money. "But the 25% pay taxes too." Really? If I gave you $50 and you gave me $10...did I just make $10 or lose $40? OK math whiz...stop breeding if you can't get that concept. The government can't create, it can only move things around. If the private sector doesn't do something, then they pay for it. I'd rather have private companies take control of EVERY aspect of our lives not specifically designated a gov't function by the constitution of the United States. Without this principle (Which the democrats HATE, and the Republicans are too chicken shit to embrace) then we as a country are heading for the second civil war...fought along lines similar to what is seen in Greece. We won't be next...there will be many European countries that will decend to this level first...but when they do...you better have more than a 401K and a few cans of food to rely on...
Now, with this information...do you still think that someone barely getting by is doing enough? I don't. I think someone who puts themselves into situations that make them "poor", should have to actually suffer more than getting everything given to them. I only want them to have self esteem...and giving them everything is clearly making them sad...look at them crying.

Talk about hitting the target you weren't aiming at...
This is one of those blogs that I don't want to write, don't need to write, and frankly don't think will do a damn bit of good...but I got ten minutes to kill, so what the hell.
A message to the organized and outraged Catholics and Christians out there who vehemently oppose the Gov'ts attempted hand-forcing of the birth control/abortion provision in the Health Care Bill: You are outraged, agog and aghast that the government can tell your religion that it's tenets are less important than the "right" of women to work at your institutions and receive the sacrament of birth control. How about when we libertarians were fighting for EVERYONE's RIGHT not to have to pay for this Obamanation? I didn't hear a god damned word from the churches when we were SCREAMING that this was going to cause a landslide of problems INCLUDING taxpayer funded abortions. BUT, as long as it didn't impede with the priest's sodomizing of little boys, or the "mightier than thou" leaders of the churches ability to pontificate from their podiums and extort money from people...you weren't going to lift a finger. If you truly cared about the rights of each of "god's children", you wouldn't have waited for it to effect you directly before joining the chorus to stop this social jack-booted takeover of our liberty. I liken you to those in Germany who let the blacks, retards, mongoloids and gays and then Jews get slaughtered before you said, "Hey...maybe this Hitler guy is going too far."
I'm glad you finally get it, and I hope you understand that the 53% of Catholics who voted this Marxist into office are directly to blame. You want justice, have the Pope excommunicate every one that voted for him, and make them go to confession. Their penance should be to pick up a lawn sign and door hanger and vote and recruit for a party dedicated to individual responsibility and freedom...and if that lawn sign says Republican, well...your fate in hell is yours to believe in or live in...I still think you're full of crap...and even though you finally are seeing the error of your ways...we still have a bunch of arrows in our back for you to make up for. So when you decide to vote for Santorum, because he isn't Obama...remember that he has a long list of votes that rival anything Obama has done to destroy the god given right of life, liberty and the pursuit...oh whatever...just do what your pastor says. After all, you are all the lambs of god. Just remember, Noah gave a sacrafice to god...and he only had two of every animal...so...even god thinks some are more worthy than others. A lamb is easier to sacrafice than a lion. grrr.

Say what you want about the tenets of National Socialism...at least it's an ethos
Those words spoken by "Walter" in The Big Lebowski are funny, in the context it was meant. But do we actually know the tenets of Socialism/Marxism? I joke to people who embrace these beliefs, and tell them to try living in Venezuela, Cuba, China or any of the successful Marxist states that are around...what's that? Oh, yeah, there aren't many left anymore, because the nature of these beliefs are evil, misguided and used as a ploy to rally support by labor to support equality of ALL, except the ruling class which live in Ivory Towers pulling the strings of the working marionettes. Let's go over the tenets of Marxism...to make sure we know of what we are mocking.
1) Abolish private property. Pretty simple concept, take from those that have, and give to the "people". We can define it as welfare, public housing, food stamps, social security, medicare, etc.
2) Progressive Income Tax. No wonder Herman Cain was run out on a rail when he suggested a fair tax. That would mean that the tax system would have equal representation. This is unacceptable to the Marxist revolutionary idealists. How can you affect class warfare if everyone is pulling their own weight? That is why "The rich aren't paying their fair share"...because to the Marxists, there is not such thing as a "fair share" until the rich are no longer rich. This is Marxist equality.
3) Abolition of Inheritance. Pretty straight forward. You can't have equality if some people are born with an advantage. And what is yours, is the states...so you don't need to pass it on to your kids. Dying penniless is not a bad thing to Marxists, it is the sign of a perfect budget.
4) Confiscation of property of emigrants, rebels or dissidents. Pretty clear that the state loses when you leave with your property, as there is less to steal and redistribute. Everything in the country belongs to the country.
5) National Banks centralize credit and debt. Any doubt our government has the banking industry by the balls? Ask Barney Frank and Chris Dodd if banks need to be run by the government. Or just look at the legislation they passed and read it for yourself. Scary stuff when the government controls interest rates, and the market is just a figment of our imagination. Ask Bernanke if he is really autonomous, or if he's a stoog answering to the government. Then ask Ron Paul what the Fed WAS SUPPOSED to do, versus what it actually does do. Anyone in Gov't need a loan? yeah...this is a scary one.
6) Centralized transportation and communications. Anyone think $1.25/each is enough to run the whole subway and bus systems in the USA? The transportation dept. is so dependant on public funds, if it is even suggested that they should privatize the left screams RACISM because it is the most effective card to play to hide the fact that buses and subways are some of the most inefficiently run gov't programs in the USA. Do the math, and tell me if the bus fare is enough to cover fuel, maintenance, wages, pensions, etc. NO WAY but let us not forget the second half to this...communication. Telephones, faxes, airwaves, internet, mail, all of these methods of communication are controlled by the government. Even the gov't controls how the devices of these methods of communication are BUILT. You telling me that the gov't crackdown and regulations on these methods of communication are done to protect us? Yeah, whatever...the tyranny is in the details.
7) Extension of factories and instruments of production by the State: This one is like an octopus with 1000 arms. Unions make it easy to control production and factories...but what about non union plants? The only way to get total control is to make it impossibly difficult to open a plant where unions don't have control. South Carolina and Boeing found that out...but on a small scale, try to open a new business...the first thing you need (not just a great idea for a business), but zoning, permits, OSHA, EEOC, NLRB and so many other gov't permits and approvals. Opening a business is harder than filing for unemployment...which do we have more of right now?
8) Equal obligation of all to work: This is coming soon to a city near you. It sounds great, everyone should work...but when we don't have jobs...we need to create them. HOW? Well, we put people to work building Chevy Volts...even if nobody buys them, we can force cities and counties to use them for official use...and then the public will see them and want them too. whatever. How about corporate welfare...and not the Oil Companies' use of tax deductions like everyone else...I'm talking about real welfare...solyndra type welfare. Anytime the gov't cuts a check to a company, it then gets a say in how the company is run. Ask General Motors. Ask AIG. Don't forget how we are moving towards having a civil defence force answerable only to the president. Armed and trained just as well as our military. Hell, this is the first thing Hitler, Mao and Stalin did. It is the most effective way to control people. The Gestapo was created to get kids to tell on parents; it is as evil as it is genius...because it works. See something, say something.
9) Combination of Agriculture and manufacturing industries. Well, this is sort of an insider issues. How many private individual farms are growing food? Can you name more than 3 parent companies in the food business. I'm in the industry and I can't. The people who grow it, are involved in the manufacturing, distribution and lobbying for the regulations of the industry. Robber barons are not in the banking business, they are making the food you eat.
10) Free education for children in public schools. You can't control the future, if you don't control the kids. How many children have read the constitution? How many know what is in the Magna Carta? Who was the seventh president of the United States? If you think our education system in America is not broken and corrupt, go to Los Angeles and find out what the punishment for the LAUSD teacher with 20+ years of teaching was for spoon feeding his semen to innercity impoverished children and taking lascivious pictures of many of them. Before being fired and brought up on charges, he retired with full pension. Anyone in LA is paying for this pile of excrement to retire and have his pension paid. Your tax dollars at work.
So when you are told that you are crazy to assert that we are moving (or have already moved) toward a Marxist type revolution, you can defend your position However the revolution won't gain traction until we are unarmed. That is why we have the second amendment...maybe those guys writting the Constitution knew what we would be facing after a couple hundred years.

Why America won't have another black president in our lifetime...
Oddly enough, it is the fault of Obama's most fervent supporters that America will not abide another President of color...and probably won't have a democrat woman president either (yes, that means no Hillary). The reason is almost as stupid as why this president garnered the support he did during his first campaign. He represented hope, change and a fresh approach to politics, with no history, no experience and no real ability to lead. This doesn't mean that a black man cannot lead, or have talent, in fact this last year we saw the emergence of a very qualified leader and businesman in Herman Cain. But when the entire populace in America who fundamentally disagrees with the leftist aggressive governmental control over so many aspects of American life voiced any concern, any reservations, or any constitutional challenges to the manner in which this president governs, they are called racist. This may be an effective way of shutting up some Americans with "white guilt"; but at some point, Americans are going to realize that they no longer have a voice to raise any concerns in their life without being called a racist, and that will not sit well when they have to decide if it is worth voting for someone they will not be able to disagree with without being reduced to an angry white hater. it is sad when all we want is to be heard on the issue of wars, budgets or lightbulbs...all of which could not have any less to do with the presidents race than, say, his gender.
This argument holds for the possibility of a woman in the white house as well, at least for democrats. Can you imagine Hillary giving a state of the union speach, and some guy in congress challenging her "it takes a village" nonsense? The first response from Debbie Wasserman Schultz will be to say it has always taken a village, and then she will say that the village is succeeding in raising the kids in America, and then she will say that mysogonist republicans are just woman haters because they want women to be shackled to an oven instead of running the free world. Of course, if Sarah Palin is elected, there will be an open season for democrats trying to tear her down as the "milf in chief", or some other derogatory term, but the media won't come to her aid, and Debbie, well, she will probably just say that a republican woman has thin skin. But the point is, elections, as well as spin, have consequences, and when you stiffle free speach, and open dialogue about issues, in the name of protecting a minority or woman from criticism, there is less accountability, worse results, and a building resentment toward giving anyone else in the demographic a chance in the future.
To not be able to say this president is one of the worst presidents, because we have to protect the first black man to hold the office, is the most insulting thing you can do to the black race. It would be like saying it is ok for a crippled president to put into consentration camps, thousands of innocent Japanese men, women and children without due process, and then systematically break down the entire constitutional republic we have lived with...all because he made a daring speach and then stood up. Way to go FDR, nice posture, but you imprisoned an entire racial sector of America...destroyed our constitution, stacked your idiot cronies onto the supreme court and started this country on the ruinous road to the poorhouse that we find ourself on this very day...but you had leg braces, so let us cut you some slack. We havent had another cripple in the white house since, unless you count the mental midget with the superiority complex in there now...but it will be a long time before we get fooled again...wait, the Republicans are gonna elect whom? Well, at least we know that Mitt will change his position when enough democrats start pressuring him. Will there be a presidential seal on his magical underwear? Are we allowed to criticize a Mormon? I can't believe so many people in America think this choice is ok. If there was ever a time for a third party candidate, even if the candidate is a gay, pygmie amputee, oh think of what she could get away with...yeah,I said she...what, are you some kind of bigot?

Bringing responsibility to the welfare state
Be it food stamps, unemployment or welfare, there is one thing missing from the hand to mouth relationship...the relationship between whose hand is feeding whose mouth. There are so many easy heartfelt responses to the needy, and each one includes taking from somebody "fortunate" enough to have a job, and giving to the "less fortunate". Well, i do not see working people as fortunate, they are in a contractual agreement trading their skills and labor for dollars...there is no more luck involved then say...apple is lucky i want an ipad. But are unemployeed unfortunate? Is betamax unfortunate? Or, are unemployeed people saying they dont want to sacrifice their lifestyles by taking lower wage jobs to feed themselves because they are accustomed to their car, nikes, steak, or even directv. I have a way to let them have their lifestyles, and i don't have to be taxed any more to do it. How....
Everyone in this country legally has a social security number. Their SS number is used to track work history, and is a way to set money aside to help with retirement. Let us allow people who lost their jobs to deduct an amount of their choosing every month, because they paid into this, and use that money until they get back on their feet. That way, if someone is actaully spending their own money, they will ration it better than if the money comes from a faceless government employee who took it from someone else. Flawless? No...and here is where that pesky word responsibility comes up. What if this person spends all of it on liquor and gambling and drugs and twinkies? They will be right back to where they were, but now they wont have their retirement in ss left. That is right, they will have proven that they are not able to be productive, and they will be irresponsible no matter what...but at least we found that out on their dime, not ours. The constitution geniously leaves out the clause, "and no man shall go hungry because he is too stupid, lazy or irresponsible".
I was told a story when i was younger, and it stuck. 10 people are picking strawberries (substitute making or harvesting any product) and the quota to get paid is 10 units. If someone does 10, they get paid. If they don't, then they dont. No sliding scale, as the job is 10, and others can do it....this is a business. 9 out of 10 guys complete all 10, but one guy only gets done 9. The boss, makes an exception, and pays the guy because he was called greedy and unfair...so he allows it to happen once...and pays the 10th guy. How many of the guys the next day complete 10? The precident is set, and history proves that people , most people will do just enough to get paid...and the new standard is 9, and we all know there will be a lawsuit if the others dont get paid for 9...so the answer is, dont mistake compassion for compromise. They are different. Maybe the first guy who missed the mark should look for a trade that he isnt inadequate for...because having his job is not his right, and not having it, well, that isn't unfortunate...what is unfortunate is that his employer is abused by people with lower standards than him. After all, if it isnt strawberries, but laser eye surgery equipment...do you want to have your eyes worked on with equipment made by someone who isnt very good at it? Blindness is unfortunate, not unemployment.

The precident is set, and history proves that people , most people will do just enough to get paid...and the new standard is 9, and we all know there will be a lawsuit if the others dont get paid for 9...so the answer is, dont mistake compassion for compromise. They are different. Maybe the first guy who missed the mark should look for a trade that he isnt inadequate for...because having his job is not his right, and not having it, well, that isn't unfortunate...what is unfortunate is that his employer is abused by people with lower standards than him. After all, if it isnt strawberries, but laser eye surgery equipment...do you want to have your eyes worked on with equipment made by someone who isnt very good at it? Blindness is unfortunate, not unemployment.
