Senator Lautenberg Wants to Abort Your Wallet

Senator Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ) is whining about House Republicans “No Taxpayer Funding for Abortions Act”, which would prohibit federal funding of abortions:


“I’m experienced. I’m the proud father of three daughters, two more that my wife brought to our marriage, six granddaughters. My wife brought two more to the marriage. So we got a full house of healthy and well-being young women. I don’t want politicians making decisions for them when it comes to their health and well being,” said Lautenberg on Capitol Hill.


Lautenberg continued, “I call on my colleagues in the House. Do as you wish with your family. Tell your daughters, tell your wife, you do that. That’s the wonderful part about America. It’s choice. It’s choice and there should be no force used here but don’t interfere with my family’s well being.”

“I won’t attempt to voice my views on your family and let my family alone," he said. "Don’t go near my daughters. If they want to make a choice, that’s up to them and it’s with the advice of a doctor and loving parents and a loving family. So we’ve got to strike down this outrageous assault on women's rights."

What an asshole! This guy just imposed Obamacare on the whole nation, in effect making health care decisions for every American, and I might add without our consent. Where is our choice? If his daughters want an abortion they can do so. It just won’t be at taxpayer expense.

Hey Senator Lautenberg, tell your freeloading family to pay for their own damn abortions.

I tell you what Senator Freeloader, why don’t you take all that ill-gotten money you made in the senate and pay for an abortion clinic yourself; then put your name on it. I’m sure that is an alien concept to someone who uses other people’s money to aggrandize himself on useless public buildings.

“If they had their way, the reproductive rights of American women would be tossed away and it sounds to me like a Third World country that’s requiring women to wear head shawls to cover their faces even if they don’t want to do it," said Lautenberg. "This is America. It’s not one of the third world countries that we see these tragic decisions hoisted upon the women."

The nerve of this guy! He and his fellow socialist bankrupt this country and then accuses Republicans of turning this great nation into a third world hell hole. Wow! What an asshole.

Obama Tells Chamber of Commerce How to Run Their Businesses

How many businesses has Obama owned or ran?  The answer is none.  I find it amusing that he can lecture people on something he absolutely knows nothing about.  Arrogance coupled with power and inexperience is a bad formula.

Of course, your responsibility goes beyond recognizing the need for certain standards and safeguards. If we’re fighting to reform the tax code and increase exports to help you compete, the benefits can’t just translate into greater profits and bonuses for those at the top. They should be shared by American workers, who need to know that expanding trade and opening markets will lift their standard of living as well as your bottom line.

We cannot go back to the kind of economy – and culture – we saw in the years leading up to the recession, where growth and gains in productivity just didn’t translate into rising incomes and opportunity for the middle class.

Like Obama's policies have translated into rising incomes and opportunity for the middle class.  We Americans are so lucky to have a president with community service experience.  My wallet is flush with the new kind of economy and culture that has been foisted upon us.  Nothing beats the know how of an Ivy League theoretician.

Oh No! Al Gore Has Got to Go! Go! Go! Godzilla

Oh no! There Goes Tokyo Go! Go! Global Warming Whewwwew...


Look, if Godzilla appeared on the Mall this afternoon, Al Gore would say it’s global warming.


…because the spores in the South Atlantic Ocean, you know, were. Look, everything is, it’s a religion. In a religion, everything is explicable. In science, you can actually deny or falsify a proposition with evidence. You find me a single piece of evidence that Al Gore would ever admit would contradict global warming and I’ll be surprised.

History shows again and again how nature points out the folly of man....

Obama Exhorts Businesses to Boost Economy

Barack Obama’s rhetoric and approach to America’s economy is reminiscent of FDR. The New Deal was a disaster, and prolonged the depression. Here is an excerpt from Jim Powell’s book, “FDR’s Folly”:


Some economists claimed the economy declined because the federal government had cut government spending in 1937, after having splurged the previous year to help assure that FDR would win the election. This line of thinking implicitly suggested that the economy had become dependent on government spending and that FDR hadn’t prepared a transition toward private investment and private employment.


The bottom line was a chronic low level of business investment. The National Industrial Conference Board reported that the amount of investment capital per employee was much lower in the 1930s than it had been during the 1920s. Less capital meant fewer people could be employed. Economist Roose added that low working capital was an issue during the 1937-1938 recession, as evidenced by a dramatic increase in corporate accounts payable (unpaid bills).


A substantial portion of business investment was short term, as had been the case throughout the New Deal period. Economist H. Gregg Lewis observed, “The situation was dominated by the short-run outlook, and was for that reason vulnerable. All the elements of a short run boom were there, but the requirement for a sustained recovery – recovery in outlays made on the basis of a long term outlook – was lacking. Reasonable certainty as to the future was absent.


Employers were wary of long-term risks, one of which was a president and Congress threatening those with “idle”capital to invest. Many economists then and now recognized how bashing employers can destroy jobs. Joseph Schumpeter wrote in his 1939 book Business Cycles that employers felt threatened: “They realize that they are on trial before judges who have the verdict in their pocket beforehand, that an increasing part of public opinion is impervious to their point of view, and that any particular indictment will, if successfully met, at once be replaced by another. Again, we may differ in our estimates of the importance of both of this factor and the functions it tends to paralyze, but it should not be overlooked.



Here we have Obama telling businesses it is their “obligation” to provide jobs.



(Reuters) - President Barack Obama called on U.S. businesses on Saturday to do more to boost the economy by hiring more workers and making investments.


The government has an obligation to make the United States the best place to do business, by providing the best schools, incentives to innovate and the best infrastructure, he said, but added that businesses also have to do their part.


"If we make America the best place to do business, businesses should make their mark in America," Obama said in his weekly radio address. "They should set up shop here, and hire our workers, and pay decent wages and invest in the future of this nation. That's their obligation



Barack Obama is about as clueless as FDR. History can guide us away from the pitfalls of the past. Unfortunately, today’s intellectual elites skipped that class.

Happy Birthday Ronald Reagan

Ronald Reagan's leadership is missed. Now we have a small group of intellectual elites running not only the country, but our lives.

Demorats Sound Special Interest Clarion Call

The Demorats have sounded the Horn of Gondor, and all of their fellow vermin have answered the clarion call. 400 lobbyists gathered at the behest of Senator Harkin. The free cheese is about to be skimmed from the pig trough, and the gluttons of taxpayer largess are concerned about their livelihood.

"One thing everyone should be able to agree on now is that a rising tide lifts all boats, and that a higher [Labor, Health & Human Services] allocation improves the chances for every stakeholder group to receive more funding," the committee staffer for Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, wrote in an e-mail inviting people to the meeting.

Burdensome taxes and regulations may raise their boats, but it sinks everyone elses.

We all know what is going to happen when the Republicans cut the budget. One rat attendee had this self-serving comment:

"Everyone who was there was desperately concerned and very appreciative of being in a room seeing so many people like them who are also concerned," said a source who attended the meeting.


"We obviously have to cut the budget deficit and address the debt problem, but are we going to do that on the backs of the poor, the unemployed, those without child care, et cetera? That's the kind of thing that could halt the economic recovery in its tracks."

We are about to have a replay of the 90’s budget battle. Here comes demagoguery:

Another source familiar with the meeting said Democrats used the meeting as "an attack on House Republicans."


"They said these evil House Republicans are here and they're going to kill all these programs that support little kids, senior citizens, and health care," the source said. "They're trying to instill the fear of God that Republicans are basically going to blow up all these programs, kill these programs, defund them."


"It seemed to me like they are trying to build momentum to push the Republicans back on their promises on funding levels and I think – to their credit – they were reaching out to a vast number of organizations to build a coalition of people who are willing to take action against whatever may come out of the House."

Does anyone remember Nancy Pelosi’s speech on special interest?





The stink of desperation is wafting over D.C. and the country is witnessing which party belongs to the special interest groups and who is for the people.

Governor Beverly Perdue's Patronage is Stickier Than Tar

North Carolina’s Governor’s mansion must be built on a solid foundation. The election that sent shockwaves throughout the state apparently didn’t faze its current resident. Beverly Perdue acts as though nothing happened. The state currently has a $3.7 billion budget shortfall, and what does she do? She hires recently defeated Democratic congressman Bob Etheridge of the notorious ‘Who Are You’ video. Mr. Etheridge will be granted an annual salary of $98,000. It must be nice to have friends in high places.


Patronage is stickier than tar when it comes to the heels in the Democratic Party. Short term tax increases are about to sunset in June, and Bev’s buddies are clamoring for her to do something. Now who benefits from taxpayers wallets? The Carolina Journal tells you exactly who the leeches are:



RALEIGH — Two high-profile public relations campaigns urging Gov. Bev Perdue to extend more than $1 billion in temporary taxes are dominated by Democratic Party donors, left-leaning advocacy groups, unions, government contractors, and nonprofits that receive taxpayer funding.


The PR messages have been launched as the new Republican majority in the General Assembly has vowed to close a multibillion-dollar 2011-12 budget deficit by not raising taxes and by allowing $1.3 billion in temporary tax increases to sunset as scheduled in June.


The organizations behind these campaigns largely endorse liberal causes and Democratic candidates, or are nonprofits and government contractors that receive taxpayer funding.


One group, TogetherNC.org, styles itself as “a broad and diverse collection of nonprofit organizations, service providers, and professional associations who have come together to promote wise choices for shared prosperity for all North Carolinians.” It has produced a YouTube video urging the General Assembly not to cut spending. The News & Observer of Raleigh published an op-ed this week by representatives of two member organizations, saying the state’s budget concerns are “a revenue problem” — suggesting that current tax collections are not sufficient to cover essential services — and that “a cuts-only approach [to deficit reduction] would cut out our state's economic heart.”


Any diversity within the group is not ideological, however. According to whois.net, the group’s website is registered to Debra Tyler Horton of the N.C. Justice Center, a left-wing advocacy group based in Raleigh. The list of Together NC’s “endorsing organizations” includes more than 100 groups. Among them:


• Every major public employee organization and labor union in North Carolina, including the North Carolina Association of Educators, the State Employees Assocation of North Carolina/Service Employees International Union, UE 150 – NC Public Service Workers Union, the National Association of Social Workers - NC Chapter, NC AFL-CIO, and Teamsters Local 391.


• Social service agencies or other nonprofits that receive public funding, including United Way of North Carolina, North Carolina Community Action Association, Legal Services of Southern Piedmont, Self-Help Credit Union, Community Reinvestment Association of North Carolina, and NC Conservation Network.


• Liberal groups that lobby for higher taxes and more government spending, such as NARAL Pro-Choice North Carolina, Planned Parenthood of Central NC, NC NAACP, Capital Area Friends of Transit, Common Cause NC, Democracy North Carolina, NC Social Justice Project, NC Justice Center, North Carolinians Against Gun Violence, and North Carolina National Association for Women

I think I know why Governor Perdue hired Bob Etheridge. He’s pretty handy with his hands, and will fit right in with the union goons who like to intimidate their opponents.
