You will celebrate independence today

Posted on July 4, 2014 | 2 comments

Independence of what? IRS harrasment? Watch how you vote. Illegal immigrants? They’re swarming over the border with federal complicity, then flying and busing to a neighborhood near you.

The Democrat Depression? Be thankful if you’re employed. Ninety-two million are not and the ruling Democrats don’t care. Vote for them again and you might get beer with your food stamps. As Andrew Klavan says: “Trading welfare for power is the second oldest profession.”

Clear skies above your town? Except for the government drones and their cameras. Be thankful they’re not armed. So far. Privacy on your Internet account? Unless you use Facebook, Apple, Microsoft, etc. The National Security Agency is watching, listening, recording it all. The FBI is seizing websites when it pleases them.

Wanna shoot off fire crackers for old times sake? Not in Austin. Too dangerous. Too individual. Same thing.

Attention, comrades! You will celebrate today. It takes a village, you know, as the presumed next Democrat president is famous for saying. Have another helping of government cheese. Mmmm. So good.

UPDATE: It wasn’t supposed to be this way: “In a time when government mandates what you can eat and how much of it, only one of the ways it seeks to regulate every aspect of daily life for the greater good—the declaration that started it all declares that the purpose of government is not social justice, a minimally obese population, universal tolerance or even equality. Equality is acknowledged as a fact, not as a goal.”

The Democrat economy’s latest decline

Posted on July 3, 2014 | 1 comment

The Democrats, now firmly aligned with the gentry urban greens of both coasts instead of the Midwest working classes they once claimed to represent, saw the latest fruits of their, ahem, labor, in the first quarter.

“President Obama’s own Administration officially reports that the U.S. economy DECLINED by 1% in the first quarter of this year. That follows 1.9% reported total annual growth for all of 2013. The U.S. economy sustained a real rate of economic growth of 3.3% from 1945 to 1973, and achieved the same 3.3% sustained real growth from 1982 to 2007.”

Then you-know-who got elected president and bingo! Although lots of people now blame him as the worst president since World War II, they really ought to blame his party. He has faithfully signed off on all of their unprecedented regulations and tax boosts for business and consumers. So it’s no surprise the Democrat jobless recovery is in decline once more.

Unemployment, meanwhile, is far higher than the 8 percent lie the feds and their news media allies tell, closer to twice that and maybe more. Highest of all among blacks and other minorities.

Core Democrat supporters are down on their own political class, though they have only themselves and their “progressive” ideology to blame. They voted for these clowns.

Via Peter Ferrara at Forbes.

UPDATE:  If the feds and their media cronies were honest (you wish) they’d be admitting we’re already in another recession. Even that we never left the first one and, as some contend, we’re actually in the second Great Depression. But, of course, they prefer to try to help the Democrats survive the November elections.

The feds’ party: Democrats

Posted on June 29, 2014 | 1 comment

Why does the federal government and its economy-killing regulations keep growing? Because it is the government of the Democrats, by the Democrats and for the Democrats. And people keep voting Democrat.

“The Democratic party today is, quite simply, the party of government and the natural home of the managerial class. It is no accident, as the Marxists say, that the National Treasury Employees Union, which represents the IRS, gave 94 percent of its political donations during the 2012 election cycle to Democratic candidates openly at war with the Tea Party — the same group singled out by Lois Lerner. The American Federation of Government Employees, which represents the VA, gave 97 percent of its donations to Democrats at the national level and 100 percent to Democrats at the state level.”

Queen of Benghazi greets her fans

Posted on June 21, 2014 | 2 comments

The Queen’s book promotion visit is front page “news” in the paper-version of the daily this morning. Yesterday’s news today. If you can call her news.

Although I guess the reported “endless stream of fans” qualifies. (I’d provide a link to the obviously hyperbolic claim but it comes with an annoying and unstoppable video mostly in Spanish.) Ambassador Chris Stevens was not among them, however.

Well, she is a Democrat and she has a uterus. The daily’s prime qualifications for significance. Or, I guess she still has a uterus. Do lizards have uteri?

She probably had more security with her than Stevens did in Benghazi, but I don’t see that reported. What a surprise. On both counts.

Obamalot golfs, Iraq burns

Posted on June 15, 2014 | 4 comments

But, hey, Joey Hairplugs is on the case. And if the second banana can’t solve the bungling, the Obamalots are already blaming Bush. The Iraqi “army,” meanwhile, is throwing down their American arms and beating feet in the face of 3,000 guys in pickup trucks.

There are a few things the Dems still could do, but…

“After more than five years, we’ve come to know we should expect no such leadership or strategic ambition from this President. Meantime, somebody needs to start thinking about evacuating U.S. personnel from our Embassy in Baghdad. Maybe the helicopter is already on the roof.”

There better be more than one: “If the embassy is evacuated, it will leave what is perhaps one of the most lavish and expensive diplomatic facilit[ies] in history in the hands of al-Qaeda.”

While our adolescent cretin of a president golfs the rest of us should go celebrate the D-Day anniversary again. It was, after all, the last war we won—almost 60 years ago. And, wouldn’t you know it, we’ve still got troops in Germany. The Pentagon finds the living much better there, no doubt.

UPDATE:  As always when things don’t go his way, Wormtongue and his cronies blame Bush. But, when it comes to the fall of Iraq, the Worm owns it.

Abolish the IRS: The dog ate their emails

Posted on June 14, 2014 | 2 comments

The federal gestapo known as the IRS doesn’t bother to be honest anymore. They cover-up and dare anyone, including Congress, to do anything about it.

“There needs to be an immediate investigation and forensic audit by Department of Justice as well as the Inspector General.”

Who, Eric Holder? Fart, Barf & Itch? Ha, ha. Not in ObamaLand. The law doesn’t apply to them and their cronies. And the Democrat media couldn’t care less.

Via Instapundit.

UPDATE:  401 days since the IRS scandal and the official cover-up began. With the continuing cooperation of the Democrat news media: “The New York Times today devotes zero words to the story. Take a look at the front page here: Nothing.”

Shillary’s poor-mouth

Posted on June 11, 2014 | 3 comments

She left the White House “dead broke,” she wants us to believe, she whose cronies infamously stole furniture and accessories and absconded with the D key from every desktop computer to harass the incoming Republicans.

As NRO’s Jim Geraghty scoffs:

“A woman with a net worth of $200 million, who gives speeches to Goldman Sachs for $200,000 each, is perhaps the single least plausible populist of all time. She may attempt to pose as this reform-minded outsider who will shake up ‘The System,’ when she is perhaps the personification of ‘The System.’…”

No perhaps about it, Jim. If the Queen of Benghazi wins in 2016, as she very probably will, we can expect a continuation of the now 6-year jobless recovery, more bureaucracy-expanding, economy-killing business regulations, and plenty of foreign appeasement—with an occasional cruise missile thrown to make her look tough. While she rakes in the dough (and the graft).

That’s how Slick Willie did it. Speaking of which… Those White House interns better watch out. He may be senile now but he’s still unzipped.
