Just how Freaking Stupid is the EPA ?

I initially herd (you will understand later) about an EPA ruling that animal flatulence, that is farting to you folks in Northwest Louisiana and Northeast Texas, is a major pollutant and therefore subject to a greenhouse gas emissions tax. EPA's Air Pollution Target.

EPA officials deny that a farting tax on animals is in the works. John Millett, a spokesman for EPA's air and radiation division said, "EPA is not proposing any type of tax on livestock..." Riiiight, your government would never lie to you or attempt to cover you with fertilizer straight from the bull.

Would it?

The American Farm Bureau Federation said, based on federal agriculture department figures, it would require farms or ranches with more than 25 dairy cows, 50 beef cattle or 200 hogs to pay an annual fee of about $175 for each dairy cow, $87.50 per head of beef cattle and $20 for each hog.
Farmers from across the country have expressed outrage over the EPA report, both on Internet sites and in opinions sent to EPA during a public comment period that ended last week. Many call it a "cow tax" and say the EPA proposed it.

"It's something that really has a very big potential adverse impact for the livestock industry," said Rick Krause, the senior director of congressional relations for the American Farm Bureau Federation.
The fee would cover the cost of a permit for the livestock operations. While farmers say it would drive them out of business, an organization supporting the proposal hopes it forces the farms and ranches to switch to healthier crops.

"It makes perfect sense if you are looking for ways to cut down on meat consumption and recoup environmental losses," said Bruce Friedrich, a spokesman in Washington for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.

"We certainly support making factory farms pay their fair share," he said.

Let the Madness Begin

Thanksgiving is done. All the turkeys, including moi, or turduckens are stuffed, now it is time to get on to the business at hand:
The annual pilgrimage to the malls, shopping centers, "big box" stores, internet, or wherever you go to purchase things to show your family and friends just how much you LUV them.
Me? I am going to do my bartering via the internet.
Due to my recent descent regression decline into senility, I have developed an acute case of agoraphobia. I consider a day successful when I am not forced to journey outside my cave.
Another plus is I do not have to deal with these "mall dolls" (this term is not gender specific; it applies equally to any of the three genders, male, female or undetermined) who are pushy, rude and generally unbearable. Primarily the result of undeserved self-esteem most of them bring to the marketplace. Thanks to their parents (bffs) and teachers who have been whispering in their ears that they were smart and pretty and should never have to work or think. As a result their combined IQ's are less than a brick.
Well, I'd better get to it. But first I must go out and buy some Christmas spirits to put me in the mood.
I am not going to put myself on a budget this year. Just spend, spend, spend. (Better make that CHARGE, CHARGE, CHARGE!! Surely Barry and my neighbors will bail out my credit card company. My home is paid for and my credit card liability shouldn't be over $100,000, unless I really splurge. )
Really gotta go now. Only 25 days to go. Rush, Rush, Rush. Before I go, let me wish you and yours:

A Very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
Remember the reason for the celebration.

The Insanity of it all

In late September 2008, The Idiot, Secretary of the Treasury Henry (Hank) Paulson, Jr., appeared hat in hand before congress to beg for a $700,000,000,000 taxpayer bail out for his Wall Street and Financial sector buddys. He warned that financial ruin was imminent if the bail-out was not rammed through immediately !!! The miracle pill failed once in the House, so the Senate took it, added another $150,000,000,000 in porcine embellishments, and it passed !! Thanks primarily to republican turncoats. The lying democrats, pardon the redundancy, were allowed by their Speakerette of the House to vote "nay" without future punishment.
Yesterday, the idiot, spoke again and like Oliver asking for MORE.
For crying out loud for the amounts they are talking about (Breaking news: Now the democrats are wanting to spend $500,000,000,000 to $700,000,000,000 MORE!!) they could write checks for every man, woman, and child in the United States for almost $4,000,000,000 EACH!!

The shame of it is: WE JUST HAD AN ELECTION AND SENT MOST OF THE BASTARDS BACK !!

Even worse, we replaced some "good" republicans with democrat S.O.B.'s !!

Here We Go Again

This posts will be dedicated to arguments against the planned Detroit bailout.
It will place emphasis on the three major issued involved in the automakers down fall

1. Product--They stayed in the "big fin" style too long and thanks to #2 their product is poorly made and overpriced.
2. Unions---Through obscene labor agreements they priced Detroit out of the world markets. Latest contract agreements with Big 3
   
3. Management--They allowed the unions to control production.

It will be a work in progress while I research additional sources.

PILING ON PALIN

It seems as if the old line, "mainstream", northeast establishment, country club republicans do not have "stones" enough to admit their culpability for their part in handing the reins of our government over to a person with terrorist ties. So, they compensate for their lack of "nads" by jumping on the girl.
This situation has left me with no other choice but to go rogue.
Truth be known, I started going rogue when I cast my vote in the November 4th election. (I voted early.)
I voted for Chuck Baldwin for president, although I had to write him in. Being in Texas, my vote had no impact on the outcome of the election debacle.
I voted for the Libertarian candidate for senator. Cornyn lost me when he voted for the bail out disaster. His staff reassured me that he would oppose the measure.
Kay Bailey Hutchison lost any future vote she may have received from me for the same reason.
Only Congressman Hall was honorable to keep his promise to his constituents. And I did vote for him. Sadly, he is not 40 years younger.
I would not vote for Rick Perry for P.L.O*., he is one of those opportunistic democrat changeovers from the Reagan-Bush I era.

How the Republicans Lost a Gimmee

John McCain was the “chosen one” of the northeast, (socially) liberal,old school republicans (rino) represented by Alf Landon, Thomas Dewey, Nelson Rockefeller and others.
The new wing of the republican party is represented by Barry Goldwater, Ronald Reagan and now Sarah Palin are held in disdain by the rinos.
One can determine that by the way they are attacking Sarah Palin and trying to pin their loss on her.
(Acting like democrats, hiding behind a woman’s skirt.)
McCain reached across the aisle and drew back a bloody nub.
This race was McCain’s to lose and he succeeded. You do not stop campaigning in the midst of a campaign especially when you are winning. Then, get in on the side the voters are against.
Show me the red states in the northeast and I may change my opinion.
Sarah could not believe it when McCain pulled out of Michigan. (Michigan was relatively close and could have been won with just a little effort.)

PALIN---DELAY IN ‘12

ATTACK !, ATTACK !!, ATTACK !!!

They are not your friends !!!

Grab’em by the nose and kick’em in the ass !!!

The Ghosts of Elections Yet to Come

Could this be in our future?

The Obama Administration
Ben Shapiro
Wednesday, October 29, 2008

November 3, 2012, WASHINGTON D.C. -- Tomorrow, Americans return to the polls, four years after electing Senator Barack Hussein Obama their commander in chief. Though the incumbent president trails in the polls, his aides still hold out hope that he will be able to engineer an improbable victory.

Dissatisfaction with the depressed economy, America's tenuous situation abroad, and a spate of unpopular Supreme Court decisions led by Obama appointees have led voters to embrace the "change" platform espoused by the Republican nominee, Gov. Sarah Palin. "President Obama promised you change four years ago," Palin told a screaming crowd in Pennsylvania today. "And he gave you change. A change from bad to worse. Now it's time for a new kind of change -- a kind of change more in line with the founding fathers than with the French government."

Four years ago, such a turn of events would have been almost unthinkable. Riding to victory on a crest of media-generated enthusiasm and uplifting rhetoric rich in messianic allusions, Senator Obama brought with him a supermajority of Democrats in the Senate and a solid majority of Democrats in the House.

Obama proceeded to replace Justices Kennedy and Ginsburg with Justice Cass Sunstein and Justice Elena Kagan. Sunstein wrote the majority opinion in Degeneres v. California, the decision recognizing a constitutional right for gays to marry under the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment. Kagan wrote the majority opinion in NARAL v. North Dakota, the decision holding that individuals have a right to state-sponsored abortions.

Meanwhile, he negotiated an agreement with Russia to reduce nuclear armaments, though critics claim that the Russian government has failed to meet its obligations. Political opponents also criticize Obama's move to cut military spending in the face of Russian expansionism in Ukraine and Lithuania.

The war in Afghanistan continues unabated, with critics claiming that troop levels have not been raised significantly since Obama entered office. Gov. Palin has hammered Obama on his failure to capture Osama Bin Laden, Obama's main rationale for the troop cuts in Iraq.

Obama's quick pullout from Iraq precipitated an enormous humanitarian crisis, with hundreds of thousands of Iraqis displaced and thousands murdered. Iran's increasing influence in Iraq, and Syria's ongoing development of weapons-grade uranium have put many voters on edge, despite Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel's insistence that stability will be improved shortly.

Seeking to ease international tensions, Obama met directly with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. Ahmadinejad insisted that the Israeli government grant a contiguous state to the Hamas-run Palestinian government, including full control of both its borders and East Jerusalem. Assad insisted that Israel concede the Golan Heights. Obama agreed with the general thrust of the demands, and suggested that the Iranian and Syrian proposals be included in a new "roadmap," to be administered by the United States, France, Russia, China and Britain. Israel has, so far, protested the plan, pointing to the continuing mass terrorism sponsored by Iran and Syria, including the use of crude chemical weaponry.

On the domestic front, the economic downturn precipitated in 2007 by the subprime housing crisis has deepened and widened. Obama's push for higher capital gains taxes and estate taxes has been associated with stagnation in the stock market and continued recession in the real estate market, along with lower government tax receipts. To combat those lowered receipts, and in anticipation of Social Security funding shortages, Obama has raised income taxes on everyone making more than $40,000 per year.

Gov. Palin has pointed at both Obama's economic policies and his sponsorship of the "Card Check" plan in attacking Obama on the economy. The "Card Check" plan, which discarded secret ballots in union elections, caused union membership to double within the last four years. It has also created higher rates of unemployment. Unemployment currently hovers at about 10 percent, higher than any time during the Bush or Clinton Administrations.

To ease unemployment, Obama has pushed for higher benefits and fewer restrictions on length of dependence. He has also pushed his signature Make Work Program, a measure aimed at increasing employment rates through government jobs.

As the leading architect and advocate for the Health Care For All Act through Congress in 2009, President Obama has been blamed for a shortage of incoming doctors and the unavailability of high-quality medical care.

Gov. Palin, who just four years ago was considered by many to be too rough-hewn to make a serious run for the White House, has taken control of the presidential race. The RealClearPolitics poll average puts her up 7.3 points leading into tomorrow's election.

"This race isn't over until it's over," President Obama told a small crowd in Nevada yesterday. "Four years ago, I asked you to join me in changing the world. We've changed the world, and we're not done yet."

Obama's Hidden Agenda

Much has been said about Barack Hussein Obama's marxist-socialist beliefs.
Hear what "the One" has to say about the Second Amendment.

Obama and Your Rights

It is very telling.

Cycle of Democracy

The following is a famous quote questionably attributed to a great Scot: Alexander Fraser Tyler (1770)a.k.a. Lord Woodhouselee, Scottish professor of history at Edinburgh University

Apt for the times we are living in and possibly more important the times we are heading towards.

Life Cycle Of A Democracy

"A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over lousy fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average of the world's great civilizations before they decline has been 200 years. These nations have progressed in this sequence:

From bondage to spiritual faith;
From spiritual faith to great courage;
From courage to liberty;
From liberty to abundance;
From abundance to complacency;
From complacency to apathy;
From apathy to dependence;
From dependence back into bondage"

Change is not always progress.

Karl Marx's "10 Planks" to seize power and destroy freedom:

1. Abolition of Property in Land and Application of all Rents of Land to Public Purpose.

2. A Heavy Progressive or Graduated Income Tax.

3. Abolition of All Rights of Inheritance.

4. Confiscation of the Property of All Emigrants and Rebels.

5. Centralization of Credit in the Hands of the State, by Means of a National Bank with State Capital and an Exclusive Monopoly.

6. Centralization of the Means of Communication and Transport in the Hands of the State.

7. Extension of Factories and Instruments of Production Owned by the State, the Bringing Into Cultivation of Waste Lands, and the Improvement of the Soil Generally in Accordance with a Common Plan.

8. Equal Liability of All to Labor. Establishment of Industrial Armies, Especially for Agriculture.

9. Combination of Agriculture with Manufacturing Industries; Gradual Abolition of the Distinction Between Town and Country by a More Equable Distribution of the Population over the Country.

10. Free Education for All Children in Public Schools. Abolition of Children's Factory Labor in it's Present Form. Combination of Education with Industrial Production.

We are almost there, to complete the transition----

Vote Obama

Another Bailout ??

Good Grief!!! Even after blowing over a trillion dollars, ( that is a 1 followed by twelve zeros) 1,000,000,000,000 the government still is not through throwing our money at the problem.
Now they are talking about bailing out Chrysler and GM. I say to hell with'em. They should have taken care of their money when they were making it.
At one time, GM was the largest industrial company in the world. In 1970, GM was in the enviable position of being able to break the UAW. If they had not made a contract with the UAW when they did, the union would have been bankrupt within seven days.
Now, the union has succeeded in bankrupting GM. And guess what? You and I are going to throw out the life buoy ( $$$ 's) one more time.If they can't compete in the "global economy", tough!!
If the "poor" under worked, overpaid union people cannot find jobs that will recompense them over $100 per hour (including benefits), I say "welcome to the real world." They were over paid for much too long.
It is past time to do away with the "artificially high" minimum wage and require people to start earning what the job is worth.
(Hmmm, what a novel concept?)
Make the labor market more competitive. If you are good at your job and a good worker you are being held back by minimum wage laws and union rules.

Electoral College

Much has been said about the Electoral College (e c).
Most of the arguments against the e c have been in the context of the individual vote does not count and therefore is not "democratic".
The government of the United States was not designed to be a democracy, but rather a representative republic.

This is what I believe the founders intended:

"A republic is form of government whereby the majority elects representatives to enact laws on behalf of everyone."

This is what it has devolved to:
"A democracy is direct government rule by the majority and is concerned only with the wants or needs of the dominant group."
Notice the difference?
The most perfect example of a democracy in action is a lynch mob!

I am not arguing that changes should not be made to the e c concept. Far from it, I think changes should be made.

I think that the e c could and should better represent the popular vote of each state. How?
Simple. Allocate e c ballots by having each congressional district having one vote and one vote for each senator per state.
This would help some smaller communities not have their voice taken away by New Orleans, Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York City, Chicago, etc.
