Your Mama Wears Combat Boots

I have been following the continued character assassination of Sarah Palin by leftwing progressives and the Obama worshiping media. The most recent hatred tossed her way was because the bombastic progressives are attempting to be the preordained master deities to determine what consists of cunning linguistics or hate speech. The facts are, under the Holy Canons of Progressivism – whether Sarah Palin had uttered blood libel, blood feud, blood lust or your mama wears combat boots- Palin’s words would have been declared blasphemous by the various Holy US Progressive Confederations of Flagellation. It is who they are and what they do.

In the time since the Arizona shooting various rabid Progressive factions  have continued to point fingers and assign blame to Palin, the Tea party  and Conservatives in general.  They have continued to ignore the facts that the shooter was a lone gunman estranged from politics except for an obsession with his victim. But facts have never gotten in the way of Progressive attempts to assign blame to Conservatives Organizations for any reactionary violence. Even when those violent individuals turn out to be liberals spouting progressive mantras. Heck while engaged lambasting Palin, they were busy  ignoring Obama turning a somber victims memorial into a ghoulish 2012 campaign rally. Generally they will just try and cover up their own dirty  laundry with a cone of silence. Or they will start to throw around words like Nazis, KKK and Skinheads; as if those hate groups had real connections to the Conservative movement. In fact  rational Conservative organizations spend most of the time demonizing those types of hate groups, while leftwing organizations like the ACLU spend that time trying to keep them from paying for their crimes. So when dealing with the vitriolic factions of  Progressive Liberalism; sometimes you have to look your adversary straight in the eye and return every nasty sound byte of  venom they have spit in your direction. You are dammed if you do, damned if you don’t. And if you don’t – then they will paint you as guilty through your silence.  Sarah Palin has been designated the whipping post by progressives and the media elitists. So to Palin, for her returned volley at those factions trying to use media as a form of character assassination on her,  I say – You Go Girl!

Exploiting Tragedy the mob mentality of American Politics

On January 8, 2011 – a lone gunman attending a political rally for Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords walked up to the legislator and shot her in the head. He then proceeded to empty his weapon by randomly shooting other attendees of  the rally. Giffords is still fighting for her life. Fourteen individuals were wounded by the  would-be Giffords assassin.  Six people tragically died during the incident.  Little else is known about the circumstances surrounding the shooting or the suspect arrested for the attack. People that claim to know him and/or to have been friends with the suspect have called the man a loner, a  nihilist, a pothead and a generally unstable individual that many were afraid to be around. Little is actually known about the man, as he has been uncooperative in discussing his reasoning behind his shocking actions.

Like most of America I was spending the last few days attempting to comprehend the circumstances that would lead an individual to create such a heinous act. Is the man a lunatic? Is he a sociopath? Those were my first considerations. Though after looking at his mug shot I am not so sure. His mug shot looked very contrived and posed. In fact, my first thoughts after looking at the picture was he was attempting to create a mirror reflection of the Crazy Uncle Fester Character from the movie and  television adaptations of the Addams Family.  He even had a skull replica shrine in his back yard. Since the arrest, the accused shooter has obtained the services of a lawyer known for defending high profile clients involved in tragic events. Similar to other opinions I have read since the incident first took place – now that we have a high profile lawyers involved, the facts will be construed and conceptualized by those in the legal system until we probably will never know what really happened in this mans head. Lord knows the rhetoric from the last several days has given plenty of material for a lawyer to twist and shape a defense. Conspiracy and misinformation shall be tossed around until the victims will be lucky to find any justice within the judicial system.  In actuality, the facts already are, that many inside the media and political arena have already turned a tragedy into a Big Top Circus Conspiracy event.

Nationally known journalists such as Paul Krugman, Illinois Senator Dick Durbin and a host of other individuals have done their best to steal mourning time from the victims, their families and the rest of the country by exploiting this tragic event as a means for political and personal advancement. At some point as I read, what was an onslaught of finger-pointing: I started to track some of the intense and vile rhetoric being tossed at the Tea Party, Sarah Palin, Conservatives, Conservative Organizations,  Conservative leaning Media and even at any conservative ideology by the pundits and acolytes that ardently follow leftwing politic voices such as Krugman, Durbin and other leftwing pundits. In no time at all I had amassed over forty pages of rhetoric being tossed at those individuals – especially at Palin and the Tea Party. Which is an amazing correlation  when you look at the accuser’s profile – the man is an atheist, a drug addict, obsessed with literature that involves communist/fascist analysis  and generally hates anyone or anything in government. That is not the profile of a Tea Party member. It is not the profile of any major US political party groups I am familiar with. Still that has not stopped several days of non-stop vile accusations by those on the left trying to tie this assassin to anything Conservative. The following is a long list of a small sampling of that rhetoric, I pulled from just a handful of mainstream media sites -  such as the local newspaper Internet sites – the Quad City Times, The Dispatch/Argus’ Quad-Cities Online and the National website of CNN and Yahoo!.  In no particular order, I let the Lynch Mob Mentality, exploitation of the event and behavior surrounding  the tragedy speak for itself by posting their unvarnished words -->

• I’m sure Sarah Palin is happy. Her first target on the map of the USA has been taken care of.
• Gads, even NYDailynews.com connects him and the Palin statement!I suppose you just have not read that.”
• Tea partiers are a threat to the American way of life. They are so threatened by American values that they result to gun violence even after a historic “win” in mid-term elections! I think we should make sure all airline security personnel are aware of the sort of people they are dealing with. Any members of the teaparty profile should be subject to a thorough body cavity search. They, after all, are the threat. The rest of us law abiding citizens should not be detained because of their predisposition to violence. I’m not saying we judge them. It is just a natural for a teapartier to be more emotional, more prone to violence, and therefore more likely to engage in poor decision making. They can’t help themselves. Since many conservatives are also members of the NRA, I suggest we get a court order so we can get a list of names from the NRA as to who our most dangerous citizens are.
• Palin should be charged with conspiracy to commit murder, NOW! It’s time she took responsibility for her actions.
• The American Reichwing has struck again.
• This is a symptom of the cancer that is right wing ideology. A symptom with a conservative shooter, probably ironically self described right to lifer.
• I bet Fox offers him his own show.
• Now, we should profile teaparty terrorists. After all the Taliban and the teaparty both wish to overthrow our American way of life.
• This is exactly the kind of radical feelings those on the right hope to instill in people with their lies and misrepresentations. It has served them well at the ballot box for two decades now. It is a strategy of building fear and desperation in the ignorant and uneducated, designed to ensure a vote. Unfortunately, a desperate, ignorant man often strikes out in other ways when he feels threatened. Though an assassination may be tragic and unintended, we cannot ignore the catalyst of vitriol.
• Previous REPUBLICAN administrations guaranteed this boy would not get the help he needed, because of republican budget cuts to mental health
• Are you happy now Tea ####? Are you happy that the “Tree of Liberty has been watered with the blood of Tyrants”? Innocent people dead because of the rhetoric of Palin, Beck, Rush, Fox News and every loud mouth idiot on the right. Assassins all.
• PALIN was the one that spewed her “ready, aim shoot”, PALIN is a trigger.You can pretend all you want to, you can’t change what PALIN said.
• The philosophy holds that there is no moral purpose higher than furthering one’s own self-interest. There is no room for the mentally ill in a budget prepared by movement ocnservatives.
• Think Progress posted this video on its YouTube channel back in November, of  Democratic pollster (and former Hillary Clinton campaign manager) Mark Penn arguing that Obama needed “another Oklahoma City” in order to reconnect with the people.
• Remember Paylin’s bulls eye map? Congresswoman Gifford’s was on it. 2nd amendment remedies spouted in earnest by the nut case Bachmann…talking heads on Radio, Fox talking heads and their junkies all screaming hate for two years, do these people not see what they are doing? There are real consequences to their words and actions? Today we see the end result of all the hate, a dead innocent child who had no idea who any of these clowns are.
• GUNS DON’T KILL PEOPLE! They just make it a hell of a lot easier.
• The fringe is CRAZY, have been inspired to act out their HATE by the Tea Party Candidates INCLUDING and ESECIALLY Palin!
• Just maybe the Becks, Limbaughs, Palins, of our Country in to be tried TREASON!
• Actually your statement is probably going to turn out pretty accurate. The congress woman’s own father said, that the Tea Party was her biggest enemy.
• The NOT-unique aspects of Sarah Palin are simply that she is a poorly uneducated, unwordly, entitled suburban brat who spews violent hate speech at people she hasn’t spent a second trying to understand or empathize with. There is nothing unique about Sarah Palin. In fact, she TYPIFIES the right. The only group she doesn’t represent are the educated country-club conservatives who are right-wing for other reasons, such as economic conservatism and a belief that the USA is the world’s policeman.
• Because any idiot with $5 can buy a gun, strap it around his waist and walk into a Safeway without anyone blinking an eye in Arizona.
• Precisely, my friend. There is little difference between most current ‘republican’ teadippers and the frenzied nazi brownshirts that later whined “who could have known Germany gassed the Jews? Not US”.
• post I`ll have to believe anyone other than an evangelical GOP far right winger, and full fledged Par-tier would be square in the cross hairs on the same map Paylin placed 20 of those she thought deserved to be re-loaded on
• Yes, I saw the hit list before. This guy puts me in the mind of a Tim Mc Veigh The people who put these seeds of thought in his head should be held accountable.
• Hint–you are part of the problem not part of the solution with such deranged ideas and beliefs..Guess I better get my I`m American badge out and staple it to my forehead or would you prefer a tattoo for ID?
• According to his disorganized internet ramblings, he is just a young, newly sickened schizo who didn’t get the help he needed but had ready access to guns and the philosophy of the Tea Party to feed his deranged thoughts.
• the tea partiers a whole group of folks known for creating false connections and being vitriolic and emotiona
• We listened to this same type of garbage response when evangelicals were trying to escape responsibility for the murder of Dr.Tiller in his own church. It never ends with your types does it.Always the fault of others for your rhetoric.
• This is exactly the kind of radical feelings those on the right hope to instill in people with their lies and misrepresentations. It has served them well at the ballot box for two decades now. It is a strategy of building fear and desperation in the ignorant and uneducated, designed to ensure a vote.
• Is anyone seriously surprsed this finally happened?  When you have pundits like Sarah Palin making maps with target symbols on Congresspeople, coupel that with gun rhetoric and references to violence and revolt in nearly every speech — this is the type of stuff you get.
• He is a victim of mental illness coupled with the absorption of right-wing violent gun rhetoric and an expiration on gun bans by Republicans/Bush.
• Even for someone who is as demonstrably stupid as Sarah Palin clearly is, she should have at least had some advisor in her slavish, unctuous, half wit menagerie of toadies, and assorted morons, who could rub two neurons together, and conclude that themes focusingon “symbolic” gestures of acts of violence might actually be enough of an impetus to set off some of her “less than fully stable” admirers (of whom there seem to be very, very many).
• The only people not smart enough to realize that a teabagger did this are the ones dumb enough to support the tea party.
• There are all Christian Terrorist ready to commit crimes against our beloved Nation, we should round them all up and place them jail.
• “Sarah is a evil woman, who will be leader of this country with all her lies. All these people death are down to her she is a vile evil woman I hope she dies.”
• And so it begins – the TeaPalin Taliban’s war against democracy. NOT Democrats – democracy. It’s rather difficult to resolve the “coincidence” of this assassination attempt and the fascist hate poster one of Palin’s thousand PACs stuck up all over the country with the image of Gabrielle Giffords and a rifle-sight crosshair superimposed over her head. Speaking of “head,” Headless Jan Brewer must be cackling with glee that her “carry a concealed weapon wherever you are” law has borne the fruit she was hoping for so quickly.
• Good going CNN Media you have been pushing for this and helping to incite the ignorant Republican tea baggers.
• A Tea Party member was clearly responsible. Brewer is killing people by not allowing transplants.
• There can be no surprise that some whackos exercising their 2nd amendment rights will now feel emboldened to act. Now they will reap what they have sown.
• the far right wing hates those that neen help,discrimanate against the poor and down on their luck folks .
• This Congresswoman was on Sarah Palin’s “hitlist” map!!! Please repost or retweet that hitlist map as much as possible, Sarah Palin needs to be in jail for this BS!!
• Tea Partier. No doubt in my mind.
• congrats tea party. finally your wish has come true. you are real americans
• It had to happen,with all the demonizing Rethugs/TeaP are doing,to mix already unstable people all up~plus a lot os stable ones as well
• Finally Sarah “bagged” one. I hope this “Christian” is REAL proud of herself.
• Do Fox News and Frank Luntz finally have blood on their hands they can’t casually dismiss?
• If she died and the tea-drinkers lies were the cause then we the people should storm the capital and force out all who believe in conservatism!!
• Media, When will you start treating the right wing extremism as a dangerous cancer. An innocent woman is a victim of the hate and rage of the right. It was just a matter of time that is was going to happen
• McCain didn’t get his way on DADT so his Teabagger supporters are going to pick off Democrats one by one with Second Amendment solutions? Imagine what they would be doing if he was in the White House.
• You are right – limbaugh, beck, o;reilly, palin, bachmann, et al – THEY should be held accountable for their hate-mongering – spewing hate and telling people to use guns if the vote doen’t get the result they desire. GO AFTER THE SOURCE OF THIS BEHAVIOR.
• This event immediately brings thoughts of Palin and the “baggers”.
• That was my first thought. Had to be a teabagger
• This is what the Palin Fan club is all about, because they’re all home schooled and caant spehl nuthin. And of course lower taxes mean mohr homscoolin for em all!
• Palin should be the first one charged with sedition because of what happenned here today.
• targetted for removal by Sarah, the riflewoman, Palin. Who else is in her crosshairs.
• The Republican Party has to denounce the right wing radicals ( Palin, Rush, Hannity, O’Rielly)from riling up low information whack jobs. You wouldn’t have some 22 year old (who’s probably mentally challenged in some way) losing it and thinking that he’s doing his country a sevice by taking out someone who has had a ‘target’ put on her by Sarah Palin, if he wasn’t incited to do so.
• We don’t have proof yet that this was political, but the odds are that it was….
• Is anyone seriously surprsed this finally happened? When you have pundits like Sarah Palin making maps with target symbols on Congresspeople, coupel that with gun rhetoric and references to violence and revolt in nearly every speech — this is the type of stuff you get.  Yeah, most of us know she’s just saying that because she has no real substance to anything else she says. But people who are already unstable can perceive her as instructive. This is why we need to abandon the culture of violence, guns, and outdated rhetoric. He is a victim of mental illness coupled with the absorption of right-wing violent gun rhetoric and an expiration on gun bans by Republicans/Bush.

There are many-many more examples but I am already over a 2500 word count. I would also like to thank Quad City Examiner and her readers for many of the links I have included in this post. They reminded me of the eight years of Bush Derangement that has escalated basic political rhetoric into win at all costs combative political derangement.

Media Malpractice?

CNN  “Conservative”   Reporter Admits to character assassination and cruel treatment of Sarah Palin during 2008 elections. –>

….he did get (Kathleen) Parker to brag about her leadership in the character assassination of Palin….

Then revises story–>

After asserting that she “led” the charge against Sarah Palin in 2008 the day before, Kathleen Parker revisited her comments and the greater media bias against Palin last night, adding a few revisions. For one, she didn’t really lead the charge against Palin– “the liberal media” did– and did treat Palin, in some instances, “cruelly, and partly because she’s a woman.”

Paul Krugman – Just Say Yes to Death Panels

I have often posted my displeasure with Obamacare. It has already displayed -in its earliest stages- to be Orwellian in nature, with its “all animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others”  management. One of my biggest complaints is that it is a “foot in the door” for Progressive Statists seeking more control of our lives with Nanny State legislation. A large part of my criticisms has been that Obamacare will be used as a tool by Big Government Power Brokers to determine “Who Lives and Who Dies”. Tea Party favorite Sarah Palin coined the term Death Panels in her condemnation of various components of the health care legislation. She was viciously attacked by Obamatons for voicing her concerns. This was despite the fact that individuals pointed an Obama advisor -Robert Reich-  had already indicated  the need to limit treatment to the elderly. Now another voice of the progressive liberal movement -Paul Krugman- has come out talking in the positive about death panels ideology.

I have talked of this before – death panels are an obvious move for the government as they use Obamacare to eventually take control of all Americans lives through health care needs. It will not matter which party is in power when it comes times for the government to pay the bills – Joe & Jane USAmerican will get shafted when they  have to balance the income with the outgo. Death Panels will be the answer. It will be “Take a ride on the Carousel and hope for Renewal“, for the elderly and/or Joe and Jane USAmerican in need of quick and/or extensive medical attention. Obamacare – baby steps for the Progressive Statists in the Democrat and Republican Party, wanting to be able to pass Nanny State legislation- One huge step towards Big Brother/Big Government control.

Bring on the Bristol Beer and Levi Levitra

Potential political opponents for any future run for POTUS by Sarah Palin -  must furiously  calculating  hypothetical suggestive associative smear-campaigns, as they drool at the thoughts of a Billy Carter reincarnation when they read about the current  Bristol Palin/Levi Johnston  Big Top Circus. Flashbacks of Billy Beer and Billygate sugar plums dart possibilities to skewer any Sarah Palin campaign – are probably dancing in their bipartisan heads. Such is the misfortune of having fifteen-minute-of-fame seeking relatives when you are a candidate competing in a political world directed  more by media frenzy than durable goods. Live by the sword: Die by the Sword. Bristol Beer or Levi Levitra anyone?

Hey Ricky Hollywood Grow a Pair not show a pair

After reading about the reemergence of the Hollywood/Palin nuptials announced via the US media extravaganza  over on QCExaminer’s blog, I have but one piece of advice for Bristol Palin and Ricky Hollywood. Become adults instead of playing adult games. Immediately seek professional help from the following therapist. Ricky take Gunny’s advice seriously; then quit being a media whore by avoiding the soon to be offered invitations to the Jerry Springer Show and all the similar media sideshows/freakshows –>  then grow a pair – instead of publicly showing a pair. Then “maybe” your testicles will not be served to you for breakfast -Hannibal Lecter Style- by your future inlaws.

Bill Maher Channels – George Bernard Shaw

I have stated before that thanks to several comments by blog visitors hating on Glenn Beck – I started tuning in his show on Fox as often as possible. I found that he and I have similar opinions on many subjects.My last post on Bill Maher started me thinking about some recent Beck programing revolving about how he felt that the Progressive Liberal factions of the Democrat Party were the next evolution of Socialism. I see it as Amercanized Socialism. I was also reading an article by Andrew Marcus discussing Beck’s point of view and links between modern progressives and violence against humanity.  Whether or not Progressives are the next evolution of Socialism – many of the Progressive Liberal  leadership like Obama and the cheerleaders like Maher come across as Socialists in words and action. I have often stated I see Obama as a Marxist wannabe. I see Socialism as a negative, though I notice many of the Progressive movements supporters embrace the Socialist aspects of Progressive Liberalism. In fact one of Bill Mahers continuing statements on  Larry King live sounds as if he channels a famous Socialist, who like Barack Obama won a Nobel Prize – George Bernard Shaw. In one of  Shaw’s recorded Socialist rants (video link below) – like Bill Maher- he states that the the common workers were too ignorant and apathetic to vote intelligently. At the time Shaw was defending the eugenic ideology of killing off the weak, uneducated and deformed as they were holding society back. Modern Progressives have taken a step closer to realizing that eugenic philosophy with their abortion on demand agendas. Over on QCExaminers blog there was a discussion that evolved into about how Progressives like Illinois Congressman Phil Hare want to use Obamacare as a means to have government legally paying for abortions. That also makes me think back to all the heated discussions where the left was riding Sarah Palin about her death panel remarks. I said it then and I continue to say it now: the Obamacare public option idea is just another baby-step method, in which Progressives like Obama see it as furthering their eugenic philosophy, where the Government gets to decide who lives and who dies. Welcome to the further Progressive attempts to create Huxley’s “Brave New World” –>Where your children will be eugenically  predetermined and engineered as Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta or Epsilon!

According to the purveyor – the 9″ version of Hillary with stainless steel thighs to crush your nuts is available in limited quantities and currently selling for $29.95. Hmm, it seems inflation must have hit Hillary now that she is Secretary of State, as I do believe these were being pimped out at $19.95 last year. Also available is the matching 9 1/2 ” Bill Clinton corkscrew, also currently selling for $29.95. Also available at the same site is the Barack Obama 6″ action figure. The president is available for only $24.95.  I am not sure how the fact that a Hillary Nutcracker and a Bill Clinton corkscrew are more valuable than & physically dwarf the Barack Obama action figure reflects on the current rank and file value of Obama administration.

Action dolls seem to be a growing industry for political and media figures. Over at Hereobuilders you can get your favorite past and present politicians including less ordinary choices like Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Turbo Tax Tim Geithner, Obama the Joker, Joe the Plumber, Nancy Pelosi – complete with waterboard, multiple Sarah Palin figures – including Schoolgirl Sarah Palin.

Link to Political Action Dolls.

You say you are looking for something that makes your special honey standout from the crowd? Well I used to have a boss that kept a picture of himself taken with Gerald Ford, hanging behind his desk. So why not consider investing in a lifesize political card board cutout. They could have their picture taken with the image or just keep it around to take out as a wingman for a night out on the town.  Picture your special honey walking in to his or her favorite Quad City party or pub with Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, George Bush, Sarah Palin, Elvis Presley, Old Abe Lincoln or maybe even Marilynn Monroe in their arms!

Have a safe and very Merry Christmas season. And for those that do not celebrate Christmas, may whatever you do or do not celebrate this month – bring your life joy and happiness.

Frankenstein Unleashed – Trick or Treat

Caution the following mostly non-fiction frightening tale is steeped with real-life terror and may be too intense for children. It may also be too horror-laden with modern-day reality-checks for some adults. But Halloween is upon us and so I guess a real live tale of bloodcurdling proportions is appropriate. The fiction parts all belong to Big Government- daring to create a real-life monster, that no man or woman could possible perceive.

Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, all of the Great Social projects raped by Congressional Pork Projects and approaching bankruptcy. Excessively patched obsolete roads, highways and bridges built for the 1950’s and 1960’s traffic despite the infrastructures constant transfusions of semi-truckloads of cash. Local, State and Federal educational and protection services undermanned, outgunned and often expected to perform their jobs with their hands tied behind their backs despite oppressive taxes laden upon the public. Congress is cheering and patting each other on the back for designing more pork laden stimulus packages. Led by a giddy President, scandal ridden advisors, our already money-drunken Congress is bullying and championing support among the more frugal and skeptical members to combine two unread -Halloween Appropriate- Monster-sized Congressional Proposals totaling almost Four-Thousand Pages in order to create one Gigantic Phantasm of Congressional Legislation. As pointed out by local blogger QCExaminer even our local Party-Selected Congressman Philobluster Hare is rushing to take credit for creating this monster. Big surprise there for us in the 17^th district of Obamaland. NOT! These proposals will be rushed through Congress as fast as the Team Obama Socialists can push them through the legislative process. The final Congressional Phantasm will never be read by most of the Congress and will-not/could-not be understood by most of those that actually do attempt to read the final product, whose actual translation will take years upon years of legal haggling before even the most basic parts of translation will be settled. The piece of Frankenstein legislation has not even been created, nor will most of it take effect for years and already it is set for eternal legal damnation. Meanwhile the excited Congress continues to praise itself for creating their Frankenstein that they hope to soon release from any current legislative/public consternation and shackles. And despite a continual history of past and current Congressional Ethic Probes and Scandals – Congress and their Big Government Worshiping Disciples seem stunned that the more Conservative among us are unsettled, by their unquestioning desire to add another Big Government Run Frankenstein –like ObamaCare, which has not been finished, will not be finished by the time it is voted in or voted down, which if that legislation stands that is written will have the Palin mentioned  death panels, will have a federally funded abortion window, will have Pelosi spurred tax increases effecting most and is basically legislation that will never be completely read or understood by any of the legislature and public. The bill/s is/are basically a Phantom Project that is set to be funded with Phantom Money— to join the other almost bankrupt Big Government Social Programs. You have to ask why the President and so many in Congress are so giddy over creating this new Monster? The answer is simple if you look at the history of all the other teetering programs, barely surviving despite a constant transfusion of taxpayer’s earnings that total more money than even God could count. It is not like Big Government is really all that concerned about Joe and Jane Average American – any further than to create Democrat and Republican Political Party Rhetoric to rally the voting troopers led by their servant/familiars like ACORN.  They are excited because, like very other Big Government program, the money they confiscate, to pay for this Frankenstein, from Joe and Jane Average American will be theirs to play with. As usual, once the money is allocated, they will constantly steal from Project Peter to create/pay for and keep Pork Project Paul afloat, while crying they need to raise more taxes to pay for their next special interest scheme. How appropriate the Congress has loosened the chains of this Frankenstein just days before Halloween Trick or Treats! Though I fear this Big Government Project is way more trick than treat. Happy Halloween! But this halloween – Be Afraid – Be Very Afraid as this Big Government Frankenstein Fantasy could become a real Big Government Monster of Terror.

The Audacity Of Hope and Change

Once upon a time not so very long ago – in fact it was just last year – there was a fairy-tale story about an US Presidential candidate that was traveling around the nation singing his own praises of hope and change. He was boasting about how he would cleanup the beleaguered quagmire that has become politics-as-usual in Washington DC. He promised bipartisanship, a transparent government and a newfound Washington DC integrity as the cornerstone of his leadership. Early on during the campaign I started asking how could a candidate that had birthed his political career in the slime-pit that is the Chicago political arena— I asked how could a candidate that was being mentored by an Illinois politician, Emil Jones, known as the thuggish enforcer for – Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich that was and is still under intense legal scrutiny for questionable legalities that he was a part of during his time as our Governor— I also asked how could that candidate, or any Presidential candidate promising hope and change in Washington DC cleanup said showground for political corruption without starting from the ground-up by sweeping away the old-guard that has deep roots inside the swamp of Washington DC politics-as-usual? Less than year into the Obama Presidency he has given those answers – he cannot, nor has he displayed any real desire to do so. His whole first year has failed his campaign promises and has instead spent the time proving, that he is just another False Prophet of Hope and Change in Washington politics.

Instead of leading a cleanup of national politics he has surrendered his idealist hope and change rhetoric to the Chicago Style Politics his career was birthed in. He has surrounded himself with many of those very same old-guard Illinois and Washington DC politicians -like Rham Emanuel- known for their thuggish partisan politics – that he promised to oust out of Washington DC political quagmire during his hope-and-change campaign. In fact Obama has publicly praised some of those very same hate-filled people that are knee-deep in Chicago style thuggary politics. Some of his administration and followers have been caught on camera and tape espousing extreme politics, Hugo Chavez Governing, indoctrinating your children and advocating those “imaginary” Government Death Panels that the Obama worshipers denounced Sarah Palin over when she asked about the possibility in the Obamacare Reform legislation.  Many of his handpicked advisors/Czars have turned out to be anti-freedom of thought extremists whose ideal of hope and change would be turning this country into their dream version of Communist China. Perhaps selecting advisors wanting to change our country from a democracy to a Marxist State was what Obama meant by his campaign hope-and-change rhetoric?

His transparent government promise was tossed out the window almost immediately. Like what has become long-term standard operating procedure for politics in the State of Illinois – the Obama led Democrats in Congress have closed the Congress doors so they could operate their Chicago and Illinois style of clandestine good-old-boy politics. That is a political style that has our State of Illinois teetering on the edge of bankruptcy.  The Illinois politcal style of closing/locking  doors to discussion and bankrupting the government – is that what Obama meant by his hope-and-change campaign promise?

And along with the Obama promise of transparency his promise of integrity was also flushed down the toilet after his election. Obama and the Congress have shut the debate doors when it comes to designing and passing legislation. President Obama has personally setup 1984ish website where good little boys and girls can turn in their parents and neighbors for expressing impure non Obama-worshiping thoughts. Obama has gathered around an Obama worshiping squad of media members and organizations to squelch opposition to his policies. The Obama White House has even hired individuals, like a Hugo “No Free Speech” Chavez loving FCC director and Anita Dunn, whose job it is to spy and lead attacks on any media if they question his Chicago style political kingdom. Is doing away with the first amendment and creating a Marxist Government, the real hope-and-change Obama campaigned about?

Keep repeating that Obama Mantra – Hope-and-Change Hope-and-Change Hope-and-Change! It helps deaden the mind to the reality living in the Obama  Mantra. Keep repeating it as  Obama and his cronies whisk away US freedoms with his business as usual Washington DC good old boy politics. It makes you wonder what is the next Obama Mantra – the audacity of: All Hail Emperor Caesar?
