That's right....Barack Obama is too smart for us and Americans are too dumb and under educated for their own good. Which is the only thing that Gore Vidal said in this entire interview that was correct on any level IMO. Americans are stupid. As further evidenced by those who watch the likes of Joy Beyhar and actually think or believe that her show is either informative or intellectually stimulating, much less a truthful representation of anything.

Remember, this is the same woman who is also a daily host on "The View." Where she and Barbara Walters and Whoopi Goldberg gather daily to collectively amass and display their liberal acumen and then attempt to pass it off as reasoned commentary.

But back to this interview.

Aside from the fact that Vidal is as liberal as they come and more than willing to place his finances behind his political leanings, the amazing part of the interview comes at the end. Where after touting the supposed wisdom of Barack Obama and the innate ignorance of most of America, the man sits there and blatantly asserts that he is forlorn and apologetic for never having killed former President George Bush.

These are the types of people that are fawned over by liberal American media programming and their mindless day time television commentary shows. And not one eyebrow is raised or one exception taken by either the FCC or the Secret Service for that matter.

Those like Vidal and Beyhar are allowed their amusements and jabs at supposed humor and they are never questioned as to their own spewed version of hate.

Beyhar's complete interview with Vidal can be seen <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bFwhTXfNMk">here</a>. She "has been an admirer of his for years."

Health Care Businesses at Risk in House Bill

It is amazing to me to say the least, as I watch the writhing beast that we know as congress, as it continues to wrestle against the will of the American people.  Democrats are famous for asserting that the will of the people must be listened to and that the majority of Americans should have their wishes and desires listened to in Washington. But give the democrats the opportunity and the ability? And give them the chance to pass legislation that they are after, in order to hammer some new socialist give away through congress and into law? And they simply refuse to take no for an answer. The people be damned.

In poll after poll and in report after report over the past three months, the American people have spoken their will and preference on the Obama health care proposals. "We don't want it. We are perfectly happy with what we have, now leave it and us alone."

But neither president Obama nor his loyal minions in congress are paying attention to what the people want. The are continuing to pursue their socialist agenda and they are pursuing it with a vengeance. They are going to pass their version of "affordable health care" one way or the other and America had just better get over it as far as they are concerned.

Have a look at this.

Democrats hope to vote next week on the measure, which would extend health coverage to tens of millions of Americans who don't have it, impose sweeping new restrictions on private insurers and create a government-run insurance plan to compete with them.</span>

This bill was dead on arrival with the American people weeks ago, but Pelosi and Reid refuse to allow it to die. They continue to pump life into it and they continue to re-write it and re-work it every day and week after week. And the amazing thing about it? What gets cut out of the bill today? Seems to mysteriously re-appear later as it is re-worked once again by the madame of congress.

Among the industries targeted in the bill are medical device makers -- one of the few that failed to cut an early behind-the-scenes deal with Obama and Democrats to help pay for an overhaul. The House added $20 billion in taxes on sales of medical devices like artificial hips and heart stents to the legislation Democratic leaders unveiled Thursday.

That's more than the industry wants to pay, but it's a substantial reprieve from an earlier plan in the Senate to slap a $40 billion fee on medical device makers. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., has agreed to slash the fee, in part to win cooperation from fence-sitting Democratic Sen. Evan Bayh of Indiana.

And as you wade through the reports of the most current version of this bill, it would seem that those in the medical industry targeted by Pelosi's taxes, have just given up and accepted the fact that they are going to be taxed into oblivion by this legislation. And in my opinion there is a reason for the fact that they have given up. They have known all along that they are not going to pay it if they lose.

Regardless of the amount of additional taxes crated to burden the industry to pay for this latest slice of socialist Nirvana, those in the industry realize that all they have to do is simply pass the costs along to the consumer.

Therefore, that hip replacement that you or a loved one may require after this bill passes? Well get ready to pony up and pay that tax when you go to have the surgery. The insurance companies certainly aren't going to pay for it. As a matter of fact? There is yet another example of how this bill has become like some Medusa head. Regardless of how much gets cut away, it simply re-spawns more of the same as time passes. And the "public option" is once again in the Pelosi bill. Not that it ever really left. It has just been re-worked and re-entered for the madame's pleasure. And there it is once again. So once this bill is passed and all these hidden taxes have become law, all these new fees and taxes will be included in the cost of doing health care business in America. And the insurance companies will either pay it? Or go out of business.

My bet is that most of them will go out of business on the health care end and simply re-tool themselves into commercial liability carriers. Which leaves us (Americans) with what? The government option?

That is precisely the way I see it and the vicious circle and cycle of socialism continues. The socialists like Pelosi and the rests see it as a simple issue of continuing to tax the "evil rich" (code words for the middle class) to pay for their dream of continuing to propel their socialist class struggle. They have never considered the fact that they are killing the golden goose that has paid for and propelled this nation to prosperity for 200 years. all they know is that other people have the money and the ability to pay for their dream scape world of socialist nirvana and they damn well are not going to allow the opportunity to claim what is their to pass.

Happy days America! You are about to enter into the greatness of the largest lie ever perpetrated against this nation. And you will pay for every ounce of it. At least until you are bled completely dry. And then you will truly understand the costs of living in a socialist dream world.

Obama Honors Soldiers Killed in Afghanistan

I am sorry, but I have a problem with that. As I was watching the morning news this morning, the very first thing I see being reported, is the story of president Obama's trip to Dover Air Force base late last night, to receive the returning dead from Afghanistan. Ostensibly the purpose behind his trip, was to pay tribute to the fallen eighteen Americans whose bodies were returned home late last night from Afghanistan.

The president was filmed by the media shaking hands with various military personnel, then as he stood in line and saluted the flag draped coffin of one of the eighteen as they were carried from the plane. The reporter went on to explain that the president later met with the family of one of the fallen soldiers in a hanger at the air base, before departing back to Washington after 1 AM.

I am sorry, but my heart does not go out to this man's contrived representations and shallow displays of sincerity and concern for our troops. The reporter covering the story on ABC news this morning quickly noted that President Bush, while having met with "many" families of fallen soldiers during his presidency, never made a trip to Dover Air Base to receive any of the returning dead. I suspect that was an attempt at a liberal media analogy of some value to them, but somehow it failed to register with me.

No, George Bush never went to Dover Air Force base for a photo op with the bodies of the fallen, but he did go to dozens of other places to receive the families of those who had fallen in the service of this nation. And he did it most often to no fanfare or media coverage what so ever and usually in complete isolation from the media's awareness or knowledge period. The only reason that anyone knew of his actions toward these families at all, was because the families later related their sincere thanks for what the president had done for them in private.

The fact that he had not only received them, but that he had also taken extensive time to be with them and each time it was reported by those present that he took the time to pray with them for their lost loved ones. Those are the stories that were never given the front page of American media or morning news programs during his presidency. Those stories made their way to public awareness only via the oblique reporting of less than mainstream sources and long after the fact of their occurrence. And in my opinion? That is as it should be. These are actions that are reflections of the personal character of the man and they should not be bragged about or held out as examples of sincerity in any form before the media. For to do so only diminishes the act IMO and immediately brings into question the individual's sincerity and true purpose in conducting them.

And now that this president has literally sat on his hands for the past sixty plus days since receiving the request for more troops in Afghanistan? (From his own hand picked general by the way). I am supposed to ignore the fact that he has done absolutely nothing while American troops have continued to die waiting on his decisions in Afghanistan? I am supposed to simply ignore that this man has shown less than respect for those who serve in our military since he took the office and before that? I am supposed to forget that this president has spent far more time engaged in apologies on the world stage as it concerns American military operations, than he has spent thanking those in uniform who are serving and suffering and dying. I am supposed to forget all that because he has now suddenly decided that he needs some face time and media coverage with a fallen soldier's family, to somehow off set the reality that he has done absolutely nothing to garner any respect from those who are serving and dying in Afghanistan and Iraq.

I am sorry, but I cannot put some things out of my mind. Nor can I remove the images both witnessed and those perceived that this man has created in my mind via his words and deeds and the absence there of. As a former Marine and as someone who spent thirty years after my service in that uniform, engaged in the protection of others while wearing another uniform, I find it very hard to accept this man's protestations and his attempts at staged sincerity before the cameras.

My differences with George Bush were many, but I never challenged the man's sincerity and earnest compassion when it came to his responsibilities as Commander in chief. I never felt anything less than his sincere heart felt concern and love when it came to his dealings with the families of those that he had sent into harms way.

I don't feel that sincerity with Barack Obama and I don't feel any sincerity in this man at all as a matter of fact. And there is just cause for my feelings in my opinion. The man may be able to make a wonderful speech, but he has absolutely no currency with me when it comes to his ability to instill any belief in either his sincerity or leadership abilities as it concerns the protection of this nation. Especially as it concerns his contrived interests in those in the military. A military that for all intents and purposes, he openly disdains and has for the large portion of his life.

No Commander in chief that I have ever witnessed during my time on this earth has ever sat idly by while our soldiers and Marines died and then told the press and the people that he was consulting with his councils and taking his time in decision making, because he wanted to get it right.

There are a few old maxims that immediately leap to my mind Mr. president.

"Lead, follow or get the hell out of the way."

And one quote that seems more than prescient Mr. president?

"A leader is a dealer in hope."
Napoleon Bonaparte

That was part of your hustle as I remember it Mr. president. Something about hope and change as I recall.

Make a decision Mr. president, even if it is a wrong decision! American soldiers and Marines are dying! Allow your commanders to do what needs to be done in Afghanistan in order to get the job done and protect our people, but don't sit there idly behind your walls, while more and more of our young men and women die needlessly every day as you fiddle and diddle and play politics while reading your push polls.

And one more thing Mr. president....please don't further tarnish yourself while continuing to offend me and millions of other Americans, while you engage in these contrived displays of your faux sincerity and photo-shopped interest in the price that our military pays daily for our freedom.

In a word Mr. president? It's disgusting. and quite frankly? You haven't earned it and I am not so sure that you ever will.       Mr. president.....you disgust me.

Larry David Blasted for 'Curb' Episode Where He Urinates on Jesus Painting


I believe that this is one of those instances that you hear people refer to as a "no brainer." Not as it applies to what this jerk did, as his actions would certainly qualify him as having limited mental capacity IMO, but as it applies to what the most appropriate response by the viewing public should be.

Based on this report I would say that in response, that I was immediately canceling my HBO subscription. But that would not be a true response on my part. You see I can't cancel my HBO subscription and episodes like this are a direct example of the ongoing reasons why I haven't subscribed to HBO or the rest of those cable networks in my cable bundle for over twenty years now.

They (the powers that be at HBO) actually think this kind of unadulterated anti Christian angst and blatant attacks on  Christianity are funny? They actually think that what this man has done on the program that they sponsor, is nothing but harmless humor and they therefore, defend it as such?

"Anyone who follows Curb Your Enthusiasm knows that the show is full of parody and satire," the statement read. "Larry David makes fun of everyone, most especially himself.  The humor is always playful and certainly never malicious."

Playful? Exactly! That was the first very word that came to my mind immediately upon reading this report. (yeah right).

The HBO response to this atrocity would be funny if the subject matter weren't so serious. Therefore, I pass this report to you along with my sentiments on the matter, in the hopes that anyone who reads this and follows up by going to the link to read the entire report, will seriously reconsider their continued patronage of HBO if they haven't already severed all ties with them.

Yes, as an individual America? I feel that the best way to handle HBO's support of anarchist and anti Christ humor, is to just say "well p iss on them."

Escape from New York

New Yorkers are fleeing the state and city in alarming numbers -- and costing a fortune in lost tax dollars, a new study shows. More than 1.5 million state residents left for other parts of the United States from 2000 to 2008, according to the report from the Empire Center for New York State Policy. It was the biggest out-of-state migration in the country. The vast majority of the migrants, 1.1 million, were former residents of New York City -- meaning one out of seven city taxpayers moved out. "The Empire State is being drained of an invaluable resource -- people," the report said.

Over the past eight years, an odd phenomenon has been occurring in the Empire state. The people are leaving and they are apparently leaving in droves. But the real story is why they are leaving and who is leaving. (It's the tax payers!) New York state and New Your city have lost over 1.1 million residents in the past eight years, (primarily from New York city.)

But the most significant reality of that loss, is that those leaving are taking their wealth and their tax base with them. And that is a sizable slice of the big apple's pie. And the few new arrivals who are moving to New York are not making up the loss to New York's tax base.

New York State is down over 4.3 billion dollars in tax revenue as a result and that figure is only getting worse by the day. Remember, the present governor of New York (David Paterson) has been engaged in the standard liberal tax and spend mentality that has gripped Washington and other democrat strong holds in other cities since he first took over the office. Mayor Paterson was one of the first to propose new and additional taxes on New Yorkers.

How's that working by the way? See for yourself: Tax the Rich? How's That Working?

The bottom line, in the midst of the worst recession in three generations (if not ever,) the democrats are continuing to use the same dog eared socialist tax and spend play book. Tax and spend is all they know, they certainly can't seem to create wealth.

They wrap the same stale socialist hype in a new wrapper and they call it something else but it is the same socialist crap. They threaten the people with fear tactics in order to justify raising taxes, but the end result remains the same, their only solutions are always to first raise taxes and then claim that they have to have more.

When governments at both the state and federal level should be reining in their spending and trimming their expenditures and reducing their budgets legitimately and earnestly? They are continuing to do the same things that have caused the crisis to begin with and the red ink and insolvency that they (and we) are all facing. And worse than that, these arrogant and abusive liberal socialist tax policies are strangling our cities and states and the people are fleeing them in record numbers. And for damn good cause and reason IMO.

There are a number of analogies that come immediately to my mind, not the least of which is counting your chickens before they hatch. Liberals are always at the top of their game when it comes to spending other people's money, they just can't ever seem to figure out how to expand a tax base without raising taxes and destroying it. And what about adding killing the golden geese and the quest for the golden fleece to that liberal mentality?

They certainly know how to do both of those. Meanwhile......it looks like many of the geese being fleeced have been taking note and they are fleeing the state of New York and the fleecing that they have been taking in the city of New York. New York won't see these people again if ever. They have seen the writing on the wall and they have decided to cut their losses and move on while they still can. Which means that New York's loss will ultimately be someone else's gain.

But in the mean time, there remain lessons to be learned from the heresy that continues unabated in New York. How different are the circumstances in California right now? Or in many other larger states for that matter. How many other liberal democrats are planning on cooking your goose and carving it up permanently in the near future. As this recession continues, look for the liberals to want to turn the screws that much tighter on taxation, while the smart people will continue to vote with their shoes and move away in droves.

America is being fleeced by socialism and New York is a prime example of what is in store for the rest of us under Obama's and Pelosi's tutelage. I wonder how comfortable everyone is with the change now......

Obama declares swine flu a national emergency Yesterday, the president declared the H1N1 flue outbreak a national emergency. This action lays out and paves the way for how the government can intervene and in essence establish specialized government controlled health care on this issue. And to the exclusion of everything else health related apparently. For any who may have been curious as to how your government might perform if given absolute power over your health care? Then just stand by and watch what is about to unfold concerning this flu strain and Obama's actions to supposedly contain it.. Is it a pandemic? It hardly qualifies as one if you look back at historical flu epidemics of the past 100 years, but there is something quite strange about this virus as it concerns the governmental response to it. This virus has been doggedly hanging around since last year, when it was supposedly first discovered in Mexico. Of course there are many Americans like myself, who feel that this virus didn't spontaneously evolve in nature, but rather that it was created and released upon us by the forces of government. Either way, our government has now assumed full crash mode as it concerns this virus and the president is authorizing the establishment of policies and procedures that on the surface mimic major disaster relief, while below the surface they are reminiscent of a one world government approach to controlling the public at large on one of the most basic levels of survival. Health care and who will be treated and who will be allowed to be treated. All that will be needed IMO, is for the decision to allow the UN to administer this plan of Obama's? And we will literally have arrived at the moment in time when one world government truly raises it's head. Mean while? How does your president feel about the threat of this virus to his own family? Well let's see. First Daughters Not Vaccinated Against H1N1

President Obama's school age daughters have not been vaccinated against the H1N1 flu virus. White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs says the vaccine is not available to them based on their risk. The Centers for Disease Control recommend that children ages 6 months through 18 years of age receive a vaccination against the H1N1 flu virus. At this time only children with chronic medical conditions are receiving the vaccination because their immune system is not strong enough to fight off the strain. The CDC also says a regular seasonal flu shot does not protect against the virus.

That should be a very telling reality to all Americans. The president and first lady have opted to not take the vaccines or allow them to be administered to their children. I wonder why? I wonder what happened to all that leadership by example? What are the Obama's concerned about? Makes you wonder don't it. It certainly makes me wonder and as circumstances have it? I am apparently in agreement with the president on this one issue. I have no intention of taking the vaccination either and my reasoning is relatively simple. I don't trust this government or it's dissemination of information. I also don't trust the reporting on this flu or how it came about or the fact that we all should be vaccinated for it.

Israeli police storm Jerusalem's holiest site


I have absolutely no idea outside of a guess, what this represents or what it will ultimately mean, but I do know what is involved and the potential for global changing violence if this escalates.

Very simply put, the Temple Mount is the place where the first two Jewish Temples were erected and ultimately destroyed. And it is the place where the last temple must be constructed, in order to bring forth bible prophesy. Temple Mount, known as Noble Sanctuary to the Muslims, is the most contested piece of ground on this planet.

A small parcel of land that is laid claim to by both Jews and Muslims and the site of the beginning of the end times conflicts for those who are bible scholars and familiar with the significance of this site.

The fact that a militant group of Muslims has taken over the site and are attempting to incite the Israelis into responding militarily should at the least be very worrisome to most people on this planet.

At the least Temple Mount can become a flash point for renewed hatreds and animosity between the Jewish world and the west and Muslim countries. And at the worst it stands to become the cataclysmic collision point between Christianity and Islam as foretold in the Bible.

This is something that is worth watching and keeping track of, as it could easily flash into a global confrontation of nations IMO.

You decide. An excellently articulated speech that sadly will get very little exposure other than here in cyberspace. Americans need to hear representatives like this and they need to hear the message and the articulated reasoning behind the message. It is up to "us" to get these messages and truths out to the masses. You can damn sure bet that the media at large isn't going to do it.

Escalation: White House Tries to Exclude Fox From Press Pool Interview

There was a point a week ago after the White House began its first attacks on Fox News, when it might have been considered amusing to watch. Now it is now. When the White House led by this president can even attempt to stifle media coverage of this administration on any level...... that is a serious transgression of our basic freedoms in my estimation.

And the American media and the American people should be standing up and collectively shouting ...."like hell you do! We won't stand still for that!" It is literally unimaginable to me, that an act as egregious as this could even occur, much less that it has been given less than casual lip service in the media by any agency other than Fox since it occurred.

To their credit, the rest of the White House media Pool immediately balked and refused to participate if Fox was to be excluded.

Even so, the White House continued to press its arrogance in dealings with the media in the pool by cutting the time allotted for their precious Czar to be made available to media for questions. And that was done in retaliation against their favored liberal media pool.

Ladies and gentlemen? There is something very very wrong going on inside the Obama administration. From their attempts to isolate and control media at their whim, to White House officials openly bragging about how they have successfully manipulated media to their own advantage since last years election. To their going on national Sunday programs to basically admit their prejudices and declare so what when questioned about it.

While there may be those who are presently considered alarmist and even conspiracist as it concerns this administration, the reality of what is going on in this administration and how business in being conducted by this White House is inescapable. And the sense that we have a renegade administration, answerable to no one except the approved elect of liberal socialist elitism is palpable IMO.

The media polls today reflect that this president has lost more public support faster than any previous president of the past fifty years. In light of this administration's treatment of the press and the White House attempts to isolate and control all information concerning this president and his policies? Is there really any doubt that he apparently could care less what main stream liberal press has to say about him. His focus and concern is obvious centered on Fox and as obvioused by the past week, he intends to demonize Fox and deny them any opportunity to participate in day to day reporting on this White house.

There are many parallels and analogies that can be draw to the history of the 1930's IMO, but I will leave those analogies to my readers to sort through and assign value to on their own. Never the less, the people of this country had better begin to stand up and defend their freedoms and they have better start doing it very soon IMO, or else we may soon wake up to a literal "coup de etat" of all freedom of the press.

Watch and listen and think. Then let your representatives know. Now! While we still can!

Wal-Mart fires employee for chasing after thief
This article lays out how a concerned employee of a local Wal-Mart in Ocala, was terminated for acting reasonably. Seems that acting reasonable and outside of the box as it concerns common sense and character, are not something that Wal-Mart admires.

As a matter of fact? They abhor it. As a matter of fact? They abhor it so much? They even flew in an upper level management person from Bentonville Arkansas to see to it that this offending egg was squashed and fired post haste.

What is wrong with America? Well there are many things wrong with this country IMO, but not the least of which is our collective cowardice when it comes to standing up for right in the face of wrong. Couiple that with the incessant drum beat coming from the enlightened left? and they would just as soon we as Americas surrendcer to any and all forms of aggression presented to us.

As Americans, we have allowed the minions of socialist though and speak, to cower us and convince us that we should first and always tuck tale and run. Turn the responsibility over to government is their answer to everything.

Except for one small problem.  The government can't protect us, it never could. It is the citizens of government that actually do the protecting. It's not some faceless entity sitting somehere in a control room monitoring our daily lives. although that is precisely how liberals see it and would like to see it.

It is the soldier and the policeman that stand the posts and engage our enemies, provided we will allow them. And there in lies the real irony and absurdity of liberal thinking. they want to be protected alright, provided two conditions are met. First, that they control all levels of our life and secondly, provided that no one ever gets hurt.

And that is why their way of thinking has never worked and never will. Because it take people like this security guard in Ocala to step forward and do the right thing. It takes the policeman on the beat and the soldier standing post or engaging the enemy on foreign soil.

For without them? We are just a cowed and conquered quivering mass of useless and easily controlled sheeple. and that is precisely how the liberal elite and their Vichy collaborators would like to see us. The people of America had better wake up and stand up and be counted. and they had better do it soon.

U.S. Said to Order Deep Pay Cuts at Bailed-Out Companies

In my opinion? There is nothing quite like watching the champagne socialist kill off the golden goose. So how long before they are picking the bones of our diseased and deceased economy and kicking the blame around a bit more, before once again pointing their bony fingers at the evil rich and denying any involvement on their own in the death of America.

The thing that these minions of socialism have never been able to grasp? Is that without money producing enterprises? There is no society and there is no socialism. All that is left after the collapse of capitalism are the depths of despair and the reality that government controlled production isn't Nirvana. It is communism.

The socialist have been pursuing their illusion for over one hundred years now and they have absolutely nothing to show for it. Not one example of success on any level. Yet they persist with their demonization of capitalism and capitalist and they continue to drive them into oblivion.

Perhaps after the entire mechanism has collapsed and the golden goose in no more than a few scraps of bone and memory? Perhaps then these Fabians being captained by the messiah from Chicago will be dealt with once and for all and across all continents of this planet. It isn't good enough for them that they will bring defeat upon themselves and misery upon the rest of us in the process. As long as they are left to rekindle and perpetuate their heresy, they will soon rise again to decry their failure and once again seeking to champion their cause on the backs and bones of the rest of us.

Obama wants to cut the pay and compensation packages of American banks and investment groups that have received bailout money? Go ahead.....knock yourself out Barry. IT won't do one damn bit of good and the only thing that will happen? Will be that most of these people will take what they already have and leave.

They will take their money to off shore accounts and they will begin backing the opposition teams (foreign banks) that will be (are already) lining up to pick the bones of what once was America (the greatest nation on earth.)

It's going to be nothing less than a fire sale if this president is allowed to continue on his present course of destroying and wrecking what's left of our economy and the nationalization of American banks and induistry. But isn't that always the way it is with liberals? They always want to punish everyone else and they always want to do it in the name of fairness. And they always believe that the dog eared little red book of Mao and Marx is the way to get it all done.

Yes indeed.....hale Caesar!

Thousands Of City Workers To Take 24 Unpaid Days In 2010

If anyone was ever curious as to how unions control major cities in America, they need look no further than the great city of Chicago. That's right.....Obama's home town has got a few things to show the rest of the nation in this time of recession and crisis.

America need only turn to Mayor Daley and observe from a master of machine politics precisely how to manage a financial crisis. Daley is a son that learned the game of union politics and the machine paybacks at the knee of his famously corrupt father. And here he is today unveiling his plan for steering the city of Chicago through the recession and the lack of budget to fund the city's departments for fiscal 2010.

Faced with a $550 million budget deficit, Chicago Mayor Richard Daley today said that all non-union city workers will take nearly five working weeks of unpaid leave next year to save the city money.

The key phrase here? "All non union city workers."

So what does that mean? Apparently it means that as long as you are a card carrying paid up union member employed by the city of Chicago (probably in the SEIU "service employees international union," or in AFSCME "American federation of state county and municipal employees,") then you have your place reserved at the city's payroll table while everyone else is forced to suffer.

Meanwhile? Your fellow workers, those poor dumb bast turds that failed to join a union? Well they will be getting five weeks of unpaid leave compliments of the union boss mayor of Chicago.

Isn't it amazing how socialist liberals can spread the wealth and the misery?

Any one else wondering what the great Obama messiahs plans are for creating jobs in America might be?

For those unfamiliar, the prime minister of the UK has been floundering and going down by the bow faster than the Titanic, ever since is predecessor Tony Blair waltzed away from 10 Downing street, leaving the country awash in strangling debt and the Labour party struggling to keep it's hold on the UK parliament and leadership offices.

Every poll that has come out since Blair left office and including the most recent MEP elections to the European parliament have shown, that the people of Britain are tired of Labour and all of the ills that it has wrought upon their country since Blair and Labour made their promises over ten years ago concerning the socialist egalitarian dream. The British have had about enough of Labour's multiculturalist propaganda and nation wrecking.

And now, Gordon Brown (seeing the writing on the wall) has decided to cast his lot with the environmentalist wing of extremist left in the UK, in a last ditch effort to attempt to save himself and the party from utter destruction.

In American football parlance? This would be considered a "Hail Mary pass" if there ever was one. But in this instance, the hail Mary is coming not in the waning seconds of a hopeless cause, but it is in fact coming after the contest has already ended.  Labour has lost and no one has bothered to tell the bloody idiots that it is time to go home.

The French have seen the light and so have the Germans and before long the Italians and the Spaniards will also join in and throw off the strangling coils of socialism that have all but engulfed Europe since the end of WWII. But none the less, Gordon Brown remains at the helm of his foundering officer with the equally foundering vessel of Labour struggling along after him. And he is attempting any and all manner and means of saving the dying beast that has served to cripple and make lame one of the once great nations of the world.

Gordy says there are less than fifty days for the world to come to its senses and see things as he does and ratify and outlandish treaty. But something tells me, that many of those Kool Aid drinking rose colored glasses wearing socialist of old, will abandon Gordon in his hour of need in Copenhagen in December. And as things would work out in this instance? At the precise time when America should be leaving ten foot pole marks all over the proposed "Copenhagen Global Warming Carbon Emissions Treaty?" Our president will be embracing it and selling us up crap creek permanently by signing onto it and further obligating the US to billions of dollars that we don't have.

Hale Caesar!

I could add my two cents worth, but I believe that Glen Beck's guest (a former democrat member of congress) does such a far better job of laying it all out there.
