Liberal lush Joe Biden, the man who is allegedly “in charge” of the Scamulous, has been on the road trying desperately to tout the progressive panacea that began the liberal’s theft from the middle class as the Demkrats have another election that they are trying to steal. (Remember, whenever the liberals begin their inevitable class warfare cry of “we will tax the rich” they are going to tax the middle class, period.) Yes, this is the same Scamulous that was going to “jump start” the economy leading to the “Recovery Summer.” All of the happy talk from the liberals couldn’t overcome their socialist script and there isn’t anything remotely resembling “recovery” on the horizon as long as the demented Demokrats are trying to find “D” and “R” on the driveshaft of the totalitarian Titanic.

“We must call upon God, and He will see us through.” — Glenn Beck
America will not survive the political and social trials that are to come if we are not engaged in the fight to protect our Judeo-Christian beliefs and our American way of life. We do not want to become a socialist country by “forcing Peter to give to Paul.”
Redistribution of wealth is immoral. We will head in the wrong direction by continually pushing our nation into socialism. We must stop it at the ballot box.

On August 17th (NH House Speaker) Terie Norelli took to the pages of the Keene Sentinel to talk about what a great job the New Hampshire Democrat Party has been doing with the state. One of the things she’d like you to believe is that they have created (or saved?) a job friendly environment that has allowed the Granite State to recover more quickly than other states. But is that really true, and do democrats have anything at all to do with it?
It is a matter of fact that under the left New Hampshire has grown the size of state government (24%) and expanded its regulatory nature. They have increased or added over 80 taxes and fees. While Ms. Norelli opines that all the additional regulations they have added “inspire” growth in the job market—and thus the economy—this is more like someone handing you a tiny cup of water to put out a raging fire they started and then expecting you to thank them.

File this in the “driving rules to live by”: If the driver of the car directly in front of you cannot be seen over the headrest, get out of the area as soon as possible.
Another “driving rule to live by”: If the car directly in front of you looks as though it has just left the local demolition derby, get out of the area as soon as possible. This is NOT a case of “false advertising.”
Here is a thought relative to cab drivers: I would like to propose that a new law be drafted whereby each vehicle must display a large magnetic flag on the trunk of said cab denoting the nationality of the driver encapsulated therein. I will be on the lookout for the cabs sporting Old Glory, and I will avoid the foreigners who like to regale me with involuntary one hundred decibel samplings of their ethnic “music” and the rest who spend the entire time on cell phones squawking in their foreign tongue and then expecting copious tips for such exemplary service. The idea of waiting for a cab with Old Glory on it might be as difficult as finding a liberal who DOESN’T smell like the catch of the day at the fish mongers, but I for one am more than willing to wait.

He knew it and blew it; He knew the general health of the project and did nothing; but he could justify the exploration using the term, ‘National Security.’
‘Since no one can get down there in person, we know there’s a level of uncertainty,’ President Obama said.
So if you, as a reader or researcher, make a fervent effort to link activities, you’re liable to find the information available fifteen days ago using traditional search tools has disappeared along with the Gulf oil.
The story as we know, see and have verified:
The name Macondo is the same name as the fictitious cursed town in the novel “One Hundred Years of Solitude” by Colombian Nobel-prize winning writer Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Oil companies routinely assign code names to offshore prospects early in the exploration effort to helps ensure secrecy during the confidential pre-sale phases.

If one owes a bank a thousand dollars, he has a problem. But if one owes a bank a billion dollars, then the bank has the problem. From the four years I spent in China, I assure you this truism is not lost on the Chinese, though one must never forget the banks’ nifty little ability to create their own money.
While America tends to act rather brashly on the world stage – think Bush proclaiming “Mission Accomplished” in a jumpsuit in 2003, or Obama graciously accepting a Nobel Peace Prize while simultaneously expanding the ridiculous Afghanistan War – the Chinese government acts in a far more subtle manner.
The below chart shows the total U.S. Treasuries owned by China which includes both Hong Kong and the mainland. In July 2009, the total was $1.051 trillion. In April 2010, the total is $1.052 trillion, and the trend is a flat plateau. The Chinese have wisely chosen to contain their US debt exposure by halting the purchase of dollars.

So I know whose @$$ to kick
By LARRY WILKE
A certain recipe for failure would be to blindly continue with that which has miserably failed. Welcome to the perverted world of today’s liberal political pogrom. As soon as the shampaign ended and all of the Bolshevik bunting was removed, the socialist singsong sophistry of “we inherited this mess” was all the rage. Nearly two years later, the song remains the same but the subject of the hilarious hymn has deteriorated at an alarming rate. It would seem that America’s Hussein is even more adept at destroying the nation that he leads than Iraq’s Hussein was.
The fascist finger pointer has decided to continue with the “I/we inherited this mess” mantra and it is easy to understand why, most recently at a staged “townhall” meeting in Wisconsin. If Obama and his band of collectivists Czars had managed to even slightly slow the effects of the years of delirious Democratic destructiveness, the socialist soliloquy would be different. Since the dystrophic Democrats have held majorities in both Houses since 2006 and now the “presidency” for what amounts to a totalitarian trifecta while things have gotten appreciably worse, the fault for everything obviously belongs to moderate George Bush.

Since the communist coronation in Chicago, Obama and his collectivist caliphate have been on a mission. To their “credit,” they were intelligent enough to know that there would be a limit on the time available to them for their socialist shenanigans. Those of us cognizant in the ways of the liberal lunatics knew what was in store for what was once America. Those who exclaimed, “I’m not a racist, I’m voting for Obama” now act as if they had no idea what would be transpiring as a result of their blind faith. They may not be “racists,” but there are a whole slew of other nouns and adjectives I could use to properly describe them.

You will pay for Obama’s oil mess rather than BP because you are a taxpayer and the taxpayers always pay the bill. Always!
Why did it take until June 11th for the President to visit South Mississippi? When does the oil stop flowing? Who’s in charge? Why is there all the red tape for the governors of the affected states to go through to implement their solutions?
The reason is simple. President Obama has absolutely no management skills and failed to act as an executive would in a time of need. He failed to protect our borders and he allowed the people from three government agencies, EPA, Energy and Interior Departments, to continue failure. Maybe this job is way beyond his pay grade.

Where does our federal government get the right to put the chains of hopeless debt on our grandchildren to buy a better hammock for those who won’t work? The 10th Amendment says, “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.” If we never delegated the power to create a National Debt, how did the government get it? The power to encumber is the power to destroy. This habit of charging the Visa to the MasterCard is selling us out to the rising red star in the East, and if we don’t pull the brake we’re heading for a cliff.
East is East and West is West, and never the twain shall meet passed for wisdom in the days when information took more than a nanosecond passing between continents. Today they not only meet; they compete, and the Red Emperors of the East exploit the red ink of the West. Today our Progressive leaders embrace the suffocating sameness of socialist conformity and collectivist confiscation while communist mandarins release the long pent up energies of their people.
