OUR NATION IS BROKE

An excellent letter-to-the-editor I stumbled across at Progress Index.Com today.


To the Editor:

On Saturday, Nov. 21, 2009, our Senate met to vote on the government health care reform/public option. Our government is already in debt, but this administration and the Senate don't seem to care.

The taxpayers of America are expected to pay trillions of dollars in taxes for this horrific government health care reform. It's not free health insurance people, someone has to pay for it, and that someone is the workers of this country. Not only will we be paying taxes for the government health reform for those who want free health insurance, but these taxes will be passed on to our children and our grandchildren.

Every program the government runs if broke. Medicare, Medicaid, the U.S. Post Office, and Social Security are all financial disasters. The only reason Social Security recipients are receiving their monthly checks so far is because the United States is borrowing money from China.

Our nation is broke and our government (the president and the Senate) will not listen to our voices. More than half of the country does not want the government health care reform. The only ones who do want it are those who don't have to pay for it. Why don't they let the tax paying people of this nation vote on this?

HERE WE GO AGAIN

No, I'm not talking about Vietnamistan, er, Afghanistan, I'm talking about the economy, stupid.

Not content with sinking the American way of life with politically-drive economic banking policies, Congress has decided to start from scratch. The Congressional Black Caucus got $4 BILLION added to legislation by good ol' Fuck-the-American-Taxpayers Barney Frank's committee, because we didn't provide enough cash in the last go round to provide low-interest loans to unemployed homeowners in danger of foreclosure. He added $1 billion for "neighborhood revitalization programs."

Among the caucus' other demands? "Greater assistance for minority-owned auto dealerships and banks that lend in African-American communities and more government advertising in minority-owned media."

History, apparently, isn't a big teacher in Congress, once again showing just how stupid and arrogant our elected reps are.

FROM THE "YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS SHIT UP" FILES

Not withstanding what this company considers four "great Americans" — Washington, Lincoln, Hillary and BHO — this has to set some kind of low-water market in American culture.

I give you the Washington, Lincoln, Hillary and BHO (and Statue of Liberty) Chia pets.

You cannot make this shit up!

Thanks to AJS for the heads up.

PEARL HARBOR DAY

December 7, 1941 — 68 years ago today.

"The attack sank four U.S. Navy battleships (two of which were raised and returned to service later in the war) and damaged four more. The Japanese also sank or damaged three cruisers, three destroyers, and one minelayer, destroyed 188 aircraft, and caused personnel losses of 2,402 killed and 1,282 wounded ... Japanese losses were minimal, with 29 aircraft and five midget submarines lost, and 65 servicemen killed or wounded. One Japanese sailor was captured." (Wikipedia)

Here's hoping someone remembers September 11 as long.

CHRIS MATTHEWS — IDIOT

West Point is an "enemy camp" according to this Liberal idol.

What a moron.

But true colors always tend to shine through, don't they?

Or ... as they say anytime a Lib says anything asinine, "Oops!"

Asshole.

NEWS WRAP UP — DECEMBER 1, 2009

Five British yachtsmen were taking into custody after they accidentally entered Iranian waters. The Iranians said they would be severely punished if they had “evil intentions.” Some more good ol’ Fifth Century linguistics from a country developing the atom bomb. Nuke the bastards for Chrissakes! What the hell are the Israelis waiting for?

The UN and most of the rest of Europe has tsk-tsked the Swiss for banning the construction of minarets. As the rest of the Euro-spending populace learns to speak Arabic — not unlike they almost had to learn to speak German a couple of times before in the last century— who the f--k cares what the increasingly irrelevant (to put it mildly) and ever-so-corrupt UN has to say? Go Switzerland!

Watched some of the New Orleans Saints vs New England Patriots on Monday Night Football. It was nice to watch a game without having any emotion invested. New England looked good, but man …those Saints are the real deal. If you blinked you missed a touchdown.

SRM Downplayed Stories file. Crowds lining up to meet-and-greet former Alaska Governor and represents-everything-a-Liberal-can’t-stand-about-America presidential candidate Sarah Palin at her book signings … the “aw, shucks, folks” coverage of the lying that has gone on regarding the scientific “facts” about global warming (that LRRP’sWorld has railed about since its beginning) … dropping the restriction against allowing people containing the AIDs virus (HIV, whatever!) from entering the US … and … That’s the Morning Wrap Up.

Happy December 1!

WALKIN' INTO THE WHITE HOUSE

President Barack Obama or not, I don't want another president assassinated.

What the hell is going on in DC these days? Why hasn't the President canned everybody on the SS security detail? Why hasn't he made a statement? Why is the SRM making this a joke? Why aren't those two little fame-seeking, no-talent, inconsequential assholes in jail?

And ... jeez ... what the f--k is going on in Washington?

Apparently the wings reallyhavecome off this country!

WHO DA THUNK THE SWISS WOULD HAVE THE BALLS

Getting tired of all the PCism towards that good ol' Fifth Century religion called Islam has led Swiss voters to vote in a ban on the construction of any more minarets.

Well, at least SOME one in Europe is willing to show some cojones.

Now, if we could only move all their voters over here.
