Two things I like about Obama

Before I finish my rant of the other day, and in the interest of fairness, I’d like to cite two things I like about the Boy King so far.

• I like that he can joke about himself a little. The TOTUS (Teleprompter of the United States) has become its own celebrity. Even has its own blog! The POTUS (President of the United States) had some fun at his own expense when he said he would like to make some comments “off the cuff,” and down came two huge teleprompters with smiley faces. That’s funny!
• He squashed a fly and enraged the completely whacked out PETA nutjobs. Anyone who can outrage them is OK in my book!

I’ll see you on the flip side, friends. Having an epidural for sciatica this afternoon and then moving to a new home this weekend. When my Internet is up and running, I’ll be back.

How’s that workin’ for ya?

So, “hope and change.” Uh-huh. Let’s take a look at the “hope.”

• The Boy Who Would Be King wants us to make all our homes “energy-efficient” before we can sell them. That puts me, a widow, in a precarious position. (Thank almighty God that I sold my home before this bill passes.) I couldn’t afford to make my home “energy efficient,” and I can’t afford this house, meaning I’d be in foreclosure within a year. After 15 years and thousands of dollars spent on trying to get it the way I like it, now I wouldn’t be able to sell it. This would insure my reliance on the government to “bail me out.” They’d have me right where they want me.
• If there was a market for tiny cars that got 70 mpg, there would be tiny cars that got 70 mpg. We are a profit-driven country. There’s no profit to be made in this kind of car, so the Boy Wonder has to offer a “prize.” Tell me exactly how a family of 5 would fit in one of those? Every time they had a family vacation, they’d have to take TWO cars, effectively cutting the gas mileage in half. I drive 60 miles a day round trip to work, two-thirds of that on expressways. My observation is that Americans like mid-size sedans, trucks, SUVs and mini-vans. They only tiny cars I see are two mini-Coopers. Wouldn’t want to be caught between two semis in a “Smart” car. We like to be SAFE!!!
• Government health care will ruin this country. Need a tiny operation so you don’t have to get up 12 times a night to pee? Tough luck. You’ll have to wait three years first. (Just ask Canadians.) My 90-year-old mother wouldn’t be deemed worthy of life if she became seriously ill, so they’d just let her die. Maybe she’d be lucky to get a morphine drip at home. What was it Yama said? I’ll find the right quote and get back to you.
• Climate change? CLIMATE CHANGE?!? What arrogance to think that humanity can change the climate of a planet. Last I heard the Earth had cooled a degree or two. I think God is laughing at them – here in New York, so far we’ve had the coldest rainiest summer since about 1992. Thirty years ago the alarmists were crying AN ICE AGE IS COMING!! Dear God, what morons. This is just an excuse to take more of our money.
• The “stimulus package” (which has stimulated nothing but anger and outrage) wasn’t enough?! They want more? I’m a moron, but some simple economics are necessary. Hey, Emperor Hussein, when taxes are cut, (a) people have more money to spend. (b) Buying more stuff means there’s a higher demand. (c) A higher demand means manufacturers have to hire more people. (d) When there are more people working, THERE ARE MORE TAXES BEING PAID. And thus goes the circle of life. Oh, yes. When you print money with nothing to back it up (like gold or silver), you get INFLATION!!!!! Get a clue, Barry!

It’s late and I have to get up at 5 a.m. Some of us work. More tomorrow…..

Does any of this sound familiar?

Granted this is only part, but the writers of the Declaration of Independence would cringe to know that we are in exactly the same position today. Happy birthday, America. I HOPE she’ll have many more.

“When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.”

Oink Oink

I love ham and pork chops, but I’m really not willing to spend more than $2.49 a pound for it, and certainly won’t buy it for anyone I don’t know. Well, maybe except for Henrietta Hughes, who was authentically pathetic, poor thing. But she can breathe easy. I see Oprah in her future. And a book deal or two.

If you want to know what’s in this “stimulus” package (about the only thing stimulating is Rush’s comments), follow this link. If you’re too lazy to read it, here it is in a nutshell (all direct quotes from the article with parenthetical asides by me):

• $3 billion for “prevention and wellness programs, including $335 million for “education and prevention” of sexually transmitted diseases.
• An additional $50 million to the National Endowment for the Arts.
• A tax break worth up to $246 million over 11 years for outside investors in big-budget Hollywood movie projects. (OOOOH those poor starving starlets! Maybe Brangelina is running out of money for all those babies.)
• $10 million for bike and walking trails, $200 million for plug-in electric car stations, $400 million for climate change research by NASA scientists, $600 million to buy new “green” cars for government workers, $800 million for more cleanup of “Superfund” pollution sites, and $1.5 billion for the construction of new “green” school buildings. (And if I have to hear one more person talk about “going green,” I’ll have to hurt someone!)
• $2.25 billion provision in the House bill for the National Parks – almost equal to the National Park Service’s total yearly budget, and a eyebrow-raising increase of almost three times the $802 million the Senate Appropriations Committee put in its “stimulus” bill.

My boss is happy (I work for the DOT). He thinks we’re going to get money for fixing our roads, and we really are in a mess here in New York. Not even the middle of February, and there are no funds left for road salt. No road salt? In Upstate New York? That’s bad. Shhh. I wasn’t supposed to say anything about that! But since there’s a good chance only about 10 percent of that will get spent in 2009, and all of it won’t be spent until BHO is out of office (one can only HOPE), I don’t think we’re going to see more road salt money anytime soon.

Of course, I do have them take extra money out of my paycheck to pay my New York State income tax. I suppose they can use that.

The Obamanation of Desolation

The Obamanation of Desolation has been president for less than a month and he’s already violating (or trying to violate) “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” Free speech is under attack. Seems like the only amendment he believes in so far is taxation. (Amendment XVI: The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several states, and without regard to any census or enumeration.) And those of you waiting for a bailout (like the woman who thinks Obama is going to pay her mortgage: YouTube of Peggy Joseph, deluded Obamamaniac), just where do you think he’s going to get the money? Make it in his basement? Or take it from MY POCKET??

ABORTION Read it here - Obama lifts ban on federal funding for international abortions. It’s bad enough that we fund them here, now we have to fund abortion the world over? What about the right to LIFE?

FREE SPEECH? BHO thinks he’s going to silence Rush, does he? BHO thinks he can dictate what people listen to in their spare time? What’s next? Banning religion? Just exactly what do you fear, Hussein? I think you fear RUSH. I think you fear conservatives, because you’re a great big fat LIBERAL who hates life, hates the military (first president in 56 years to snub the Heroes Inaugural Ball), thinks we’re too stupid to handle our own money, and wants only the worthy to get health care.

PURSUIT of Happiness. Damn hard to pursue it when you have to give the government a third of your money. Joe Biden (that old fart) thinks it’s unpatriotic to not want to pay taxes. I’ve got a flash for ya, veep. Paying them and wanting to pay them are two different things. I earned it. I WANT it! Yes, I have to pay taxes, but when 3 (count ‘em) of BHO’s cabinet nominees have tried everything in their power to keep all their money (mostly illegal), why is it we have to be “patriotic” and they don’t? The liberal hypocrisy is almost too much to bear.

Less than a month, and he’s already breaking campaign promises. I wonder how his constituents feel about this? “Change” was supposed to be about not picking the same good ole Washington insider boys, but he’s surrounding himself with Clinton’s cronies. And Clintons. I still shudder to think that felonious horn-dog will be stalking the halls of the White House again.

He also said he’d give the American people five days to consider bills before he signed them, yet he’s pushing them through without an intelligent spark between his pen and his brain.

He said he wouldn’t give lobbyists a job. I guess he meant except the ones he picks.

Hold on to your butts (if I may quote a line from Jurassic Park). The marxist socialist state is about to begin. Liberty? Say “good-bye.”

What color is YOUR skin?

I’m confused.

We’re bombarded by media and ministers and politicians all telling us we need to be color blind. So, like the dutiful sheep we are, we try to be “multi-cultural” and “tolerant.” So tell my why is this presidency all about color?

We have the first “black” president – everyone is celebrating this fact. But it’s not about color.

Then at the inauguration Rev. Lowery says “Yellow is mellow, brown stay around, red stay ahead, black don’t stay back, white embrace what is right.” But this isn’t racist, and it’s not about color. By the way, if a white Republican said this the libs would be in a frenzy, frothing at the mouth. And why are the whites getting dissed and not any of the other colors?

Rev. Jeremiah Wright (BHO sat in his pew for 20 years but never heard anything like this?) says “God damn America,” calls us “The US of KKK,” and blames who for bringing AIDS?!? Maybe he ought to check how AIDS got started – in AFRICA from certain kinds of chimps and monkeys.

I’m taking vociferous umbrage. I’m not “white.” Actually, I’m kind of olive-skinned. Most “whites” are quite pink, I think. Some are very fair, some are more swarthy or sallow. The fact that pink and lavender look good on me, while blues look better on others is proof enough to an artist that our skin colors differ in their “whiteness.”

To the Rev. Lowerys and Wrights of this world I have three points to make:

• First, blacks still blame us whites for enslaving them. Slavery is a terrible thing, but it was white Christian leaders who fought for freedom for slaves. Blacks are afforded every opportunity that any skin color is afforded in this country. In fact, certain laws have enabled blacks to step ahead of other colors, whether they deserved it or not.
• Second, don’t blame me for slavery. I’m only a second-generation American, and my grandparents were illiterate peasants from Italy. They didn’t have slaves. So next time you look at my olive skin, don’t call me “whitey” and don’t make any assumptions of my so-called guilt.
• Third, I want the same “rights” you have. Please, I’m not “white.” I’m Italian-American (and closer to my roots than you are, Revs).

So, if it’s not about color, when are they going to stop referring to it? And just how much in trouble are we going to be the first time a “white” person mentions his “blackness?” Joe Biden didn’t see any repercussions with his racist remark, “You cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin’ Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent.” But, gee, we conservatives are the racists.

I’m an artist. I see in color, think in color, and dream in color. I LIKE color! Frankly, I don’t care if BHO is purple with yellow polka dots. I just don’t like his ultra-liberal policies. In fact, I don’t see BHO bringing an end to racism. I see him exacerbating it.

Hoping he meets the Savior

I swear every periodical I see has BHO’s face on it. Not even president yet and I can’t stand the sight of him. When the “messiah” ascends to his throne Tuesday, will that be the end of it? Good God, I hope so. I have that audacity. (Little joke there.) The media’s giddy love affair has gone wild, and they’re wearing their hearts on their sleeves. Frankly, I think it’s only a matter of time when BHO blows it big time.

Originally I hoped he’d fail. Why? Because it would ensure that in two years, the donkey congress would be gone. Now I hope he meets the Savior face-to-face. A real knock-him-off-his-horse encounter, blindness and all. That would be the true miracle, the true hope. Because without it, there is no hope. There will be no America. We’ll be the States of Communism, the States of Socialism, and we will NOT be united. If it weren’t for the fact that conservatives are the minority (we won’t march around with placards and tell lies about liberals), there might have even been a civil war.

BHO, the most liberal senator we had, will ensure that marriage can be made to anything, even your dog. He’ll make abortion on demand the rule. His policies will insure that small business will fail, government will own everything, health care for all will come out of our pockets, more illegals will swarm into our country for a free meal (funny how everyone wants to get IN, not OUT. I wonder why that is?), and another attack on this country will be imminent. Spreading the wealth will mean that no one will have incentive to work harder, get a better education or start a small business. There’ll be no purpose in any of it. The government will step in and tell us who goes to what school and what each child will be when they grow up. And if PETA, global-warming alarmists, and environmental whackos have their ways, humans will be on their way OUT and flora and fauna on their way IN. Of course, there’ll be no one here to take care of any of it. But that’s the way they want it, anyway. Hey, daisy! You’re on your own! (If you think I’m kidding, look up some of the news reports on the Miracle on the Hudson. Planes don’t belong there … the birds “own” the sky.)

So, as everyone looks forward to the coronation of the king, the ascension to the throne on Tuesday, remember one thing. This is YOUR fault – I DIDN’T VOTE FOR HIM! Pray for him, and may God have mercy on us all.

Momma58

The coronation is almost upon us

I will not be watching the coronation of the king on January 20. That is, unless my boss makes me. But wait! I remember now. I may have jury duty on January 20! This is the first time in my entire life that I hope I get called on to serve. I’ve been thrilled so far to dodge that bullet (don’t wag your finger at me), but this time, it may be a relief.

In the meantime, please enjoy this cute email that was sent to me for the new year.

“As I reflect on 2008, I can say we had a great year:  Blacks are happy; Obama was elected. Whites are happy, OJ is in jail. Democrats are happy; George Bush is leaving office. Republicans are happy: Democrats will finally quit saying George Bush stole the election. And all of us are so happy – the election is finally over!

I think 2009 will be even better: Immediately after his inauguration, Obama will balance the budget, revive the economy, solve the real estate problem, solve the auto industry problem, solve our gas/alternative energy problem, stop the fires and mudslides in California, ban hurricanes and tornadoes, stop identity theft, reverse global warming, find Osama, solve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, get rid of corruption in government and achieve world peace. Then on the 7th day, he will rest.

My best wishes for 2009………….and remember: ‘The government cannot give to anyone anything that it does not first
take from someone else.’ “

To that I would add:

• I can’t wait until he shares the wealth … Oprah and Bill Gates can send the checks to my house at xxxxxxx.
• I only take home $1300 a month and my bills come to $3500. Can’t wait until he pays my mortgage, puts me on food stamps and pays for my health care. Oh, wait. If I need intensive care, he’ll probably just let me die. I won’t be worth spending the money on.
• I had to shovel a foot of “global warming” today. Maybe he can make it stop snowing in New York.
• I “hope” he can “change” his mind about gay “marriage,” abortion on demand, universal health care, and spending my money on lazy shiftless s.o.b.s, but I doubt it he can do it. The people who financed his campaign will want a lot of favors.

Finally, I hope he meets the Savior face to face. Otherwise, we’re all in a heap o’ trouble.

Happy new year, and may God have mercy on us all.

Slick Willy Is On The Loose!

God help us, Bill is going to have access to the Oval Office again! This thought came to me in a flash as I was eating my breakfast this morning. All I could think was, “Run, interns! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!”

The next scary thought was, how many wacko Tinseltown celebs will defile that hallowed room? The mind boggles at such a thought. Scarier yet is how many of those Glitteratti will shape national and foreign policy.

I have to think about this more. In the meantime, feel free to post any “what-ifs,” as in “What if Baba Streisand was made Secretary of State.”

Merry Christmas

It’s the first day of Christmas. Merry Christmas to all my conservative friends and family who still cling to their religion despite the world’s view that we should let go. Never give up!
