Karl Rove skewers the B+ Presidunce

Reboot. B+ President system failure

I consider it my “must read” for the week.  From the WSJ.

Rove lays out in detail the Man Child’s most obvious failures, and lies.

Liberalism doesn’t work

Exhibit A is San Francisco.   From the San Francisco Weekly.

“It’s time to face facts: San Francisco is spectacularly mismanaged and arguably the worst-run big city in America. This year’s city budget is an astonishing $6.6 billion — more than twice the budget for the entire state of Idaho — for roughly 800,000 residents. Yet despite that stratospheric amount, San Francisco can’t point to progress on many of the social issues it spends liberally to tackle — and no one is made to answer when the city comes up short.”

Hydrogen burning cars

I HOPE this is true.   Four average dudes cobbled together  contraptions, from blueprints on-line, that supposedly convert water to hydrogen and oxygen and which increases power and gas mileage by 20%.

President Obama uses the B word

“The president said that the costs of Medicare and Medicaid are on an “unsustainable” trajectory and if there is no action taken to bring them down, “the federal government will go bankrupt.”

Do over. Mulligan. Impeach. New election. PLEEEEEESE!

This is almost the most idiotic thing that I’ve ever heard a President say.  First, if you haven’t noticed, we are a debtor nation. We stay afloat by borrowing money.  If China ever gets scared that we might bankrupt their debt, our supply of credit is history, and the country would be in dire straights.   A CEO of a major corporation would know better than to use the “we might go bankrupt” on public T.V.  Heck, even a first-time borrowing entering hat in hand into the loan officer’s cubby should know better than to usher the B word.   “Sorry, son, no loan for you.”

Second, the gall of this inexperienced, never had a real job, B+ President is overwhelming.  Medicare and Medicaide are already crippling our budget.  If you haven’t noticed, they are government run health insurance programs.  So his solution? To increase the number of other persons who are insured under government health insurance.  And to browbeat Republicans with the B word.

  The Republicans are trying to hold costs down.  The way to avoid bankruptcy is to keep costs down.  It is ironic that the Democrat plan which will lead to ever spiralling higher costs and which will lead to bankruptcy is promoted by claiming that it won’t lead to higher costs, and by the notion that if we don’t pass it, we will go bankrupt.  Up is down, in is out, and you can insure “43 million” uninsureds–or whatever the figure liberals bandy about lately–without increasing government spending.

I AM prejudiced.

I didn't mean it officer!

I have to admit it.  I am prejudiced.   People whom I don’t even know the first thing about, I pre-judge them.   This prejudice has been brewing for going on five decades.  It’s deep in my blood, and in my bones.  I’m not even sorry about it.

For instance, a trial lawyer is forbidden from striking a juror from a jury in voir dire based solely on their their sex or race.    Supposedly doing so violates the right of those discriminated against not to be unfairly stereotyped.   But all the lawyers do it. They make judgments about persons whom they have never met based solely upon sex or skin color.  Blacks and Jewish persons are traditionally liberal and more likely to be pro-plaintiff.  Whites, especially older whites, are generally considered pro-defense (or pro-prosecution) in criminal cases.   And all races are presumed to be biased in favor of litigants of their own race (all other things equal).  Yes, racism in the jury deliberation room is alive and well.

Michael Steele’s quote of the day

From Jake Tapper:  “I look forward to seeing hordes of violent Jihadists lay down their AK-47s in response to the news that our terrorist prison is moving from the Caribbean to America’s heartland, but I’m not holding my breath. In the meantime, the White House still has not explained how bringing these terrorist killers to this country and giving the same rights as citizens will make the American people safer.”

EPA agents to be armed with Glock 19s??

with an optional 33 round magazine? whoa!

WTH? This sounds like a joke. Or at least a bad administration planning to jam some unwanted regulation down our throats.  “Hey lady, you breathing too much CO2.  I’m gonna have to cap your arse.”

Teach a liberal how to be a conservative about healthcare insurance

Get them to pay for all or part of the health insurance premium of  individual conservatives.  So many liberals complain that many can’t afford health insurance.  There are many conservatives who “can’t afford” health insurance, too.  So on the assumption that some liberals just don’t know any better, or that they have never really thought the concept of ObamaCare through, I hereby offer my services to line up “needy” conservatives with liberals who want to join this program.  Starting with me.

I am self-employed and for a family of 4 pay $12,000 a year for medical insurance.  I can’t afford it.  I’m not asking anybody to pay me $12,000 a year.  But how about if four liberals out there pay me $4,000 per year?  Or if six of ya’ll pay me $2,000?  Heck, I’ll even accept $1,000 a year from twelve of  you’ns.  That way, you can enjoy the warmth and satisfaction of helping a needy family afford health insurance, while at the same time learning that it is not so easy to support new government spending when the money to pay for it is coming directly out of your own bank account.  

When liberals say “We are a rich nation, we can afford to pay for health insurance for everybody”, what they really mean is “make somebody else pay for it.”   It’s easy to be liberal with Other People’s Money.  That’s the essence of being a fiscal liberal.  Many (most?) of the same persons out there who favor universal government health insurance for all would never dream of joining my program.  Because they would have to pay for it.

Rick Rolled: Important Announcement!

Smash Mouth Politics is on target to get one million hits in less than a year

Here's a Bro Fist for Stacy and Smitty

We’ve been steadily growing, to the point that for the past eight weeks we are easily averaging enough hits per week to get more than a million hits per year.  By my calculation, to get a million hits in a year a blog needs 2,739 hits per day, 19,178 per week, and 83,333 per month to make the magic mark. We are averaging over 3,000 hits per day, over 20,000 per week for the past two months.   And to whom do we owe much of our success?  Robert Stacy McCain’s “How To Get a Million Hits On Your Blog in Less Than A Year.”    Do “The Rules” work? You betcha!  Now, if only I could get Smitty to include me in the FMJWA, I’d be all set.
