Star Trek

So now we find that not only is Obama allowing illegal aliens in the country, TSA allows illegal aliens on the no-fly list to go to a flight school (owned by yet another illegal alien.)   Oh, and six of these illegals were allowed to get pilot licenses....

You have to laugh now...

Jobs are so important to Obama that his "Jobs Council" hasn't met in six months.  When Jay Carney was asked why, he responded that "... there‘s no specific reason except that the president’s obviously got a lot on his plate."

Now, to me, his "Jobs Council" is just a waste of time and money.  Government doesn't create jobs, so really, it should for the most part get out of our way and let the job creators create jobs instead of penalizing them.

Just saw this and wanted to share:

But of course, the ProRegressives don't understand the difference between two business owners - one who succeeds and one who doesn't.... except that the one that succeeds must be penalized.

So why is the US government partnering with Mexico to drive up the numbers of people enrolled on food stamps even though they're already at a record high????

Because Obama is following the "overwhelm the system" strategy - he's purposefully trying to collapse everything by driving up the number of people dependent on the government (other taxpayers.)  It's probably also useful to help get the some additional votes....

For Republican small businessmen (and women) to talk as if they built their business all by their lonesome selves is a bit like an author writing a book and then not having an acknowledgements section. Or perhaps to have an acknowledgement section that goes like this:

"I did it all myself. My employees had nothing to do with the creation of this work. My secretary was absolutely worthless when it came to research assistance or typing my manuscript. My publisher was a pain in the arse and I should have gone with another firm. Nobody had done any previous research in my field, and the research in related fields was largley inept and counterproductive. It was only my brilliant skills that allowed this book to come to fruition."

Right.

Looks like there's yet another Solyndra type company to throw around the neck of Obama..... This time the company's name is Amonix.  These are the types of companies that aren't built by themselves.... they're built by the government.....

BamBam: "Government doesn't create jobs, so really, it should for the most part get out of our way and let the job creators create jobs instead of penalizing them."

There is a defintely a role for private sector venture capital to play in job production. Still, the idea that "government" doesn't create jobs, that only the private sector creates jobs ignores a poiont I made earlier. No suprise that my point was ignored. What is suprise is that some one would so brazenly ignore my point so soon after I made it. It only demonstrates that conservatives seem to suffer from a profound case of Attention Deficit Disorder.

My point, for those of you with short attention spans, is that governemt payrolls do in fact count towrd employment levels within a society. Now "job creators" in the privaer sector may indeed suffer from selective attention on that issue, but their inattention to such details should not be imitated by the rest of us.

A job is a job is a job. No matter how you slice it, an employee of government is employed in a job. Many private sector conservatives like to act as if a public sector job is some how cheating. Mostly because such jobs don't operate according to their precious laws of supply and demand. However, as I have already said, a job is a job is a job. That applies to the situation where government "cheats" to create such a job.

Part of the problem comes from insisting on treating the economic world as a zero sum game. Conservatives constantly overlook one simple fact. Over time, especially in a capitalist society, productivity grows. Because there is elasticity to the level of productivity, fewer people can produce the same amount of goods and services. This frees up resources for other endeavors. In such a scenario, one that admittedly does not exist in all circumstances, government is needed to fully employ available resources. So what is regarded as "cheating" is actually a vital part of a healthy and growing economy.  For the sake of moral purity, conservatives would rather see us spiral down into a depression than to see government step in to ensure the productive use of resources. Or they simply snicker at such a notion with out understanding the dynamics involved. Either way, the real game is to maintain control. Better to be a medium size fish in a small pond than a large fish in a large pond. The rest of us be damned.

In such circumstances, it is hardly suprising that the strategy in encountering fiscal liberals is to ignore and/or call names. What  is really pathetic is having demonstrated their complete inability to foster a coherent argument, they pretend as if their name calling is a sufficent argument into itself with out ever really addressing the issues of the day. Such issues being war and peace, global warming, expansion of adequate health care, eliminating absolute poverty, etc.

They don't address such issues simply because they don't know how to address such issues. Period.

Oh yes, I'm the great pretender
Pretending that I’ve got a clue
My ego is such
I think I’ve accomplished so much
I'm brilliant but don’t get my due

Oh yes, I'm the great pretender
Changing the world on my own
I play the game but it seems such a shame
Anyone heard of Solyndra’s loan

So fragile this feeling of make-believe
Like when FOX reveals what decrees can’t conceal

Oh yes, I'm the great pretender
Just looking for someone to blame
The theory seemed like the stuff of dreams
But I don’t live up to all the talk

Eric, come take these guns for a walk.

So fragile this feeling of make-believe
Like when FOX reveals what decrees can’t conceal

Oh yes, I'm the great pretender
Pretending the numbers all lie
I seem to be out-of-touch with reality
Come Christmas with my run of luck
I’ll be pretending I’m not...
Pretending I’m not a lame duck.

I guess somebody doesn't realize Obama is about to serve Romney's political head on a platter.

...of course there is that United States of Amnesia thing that keeps going around.

I really think we're tired of the unfulfilled promises, the trillion dollar deficits in light of bragging the deficit would be cut under Obama's financial tutilage, the blatant disregard and distain for the Constitution, etc, etc. About the only person who will really appreciate what Obama has accomplished will be Jimmy Carter who will no longer be viewed as the worst president in history.

I love how conservatives can nevere seem to get their messages coordinated. Just go back to the previous page and look at the employment graph presetned by BamBam.

When did the crash occur?

That is right: 2008 - when George Bush was president.

When did the situation stabilize?

The middle of 2009 after Obama became president and gained sufficient control to exert some influence on the situation.

It is also a laugh that the party that produced such deficit doves like Ronald Reagan and Dick Cheney have suddenly turned deficit hawks now that Obama is president. All this, while still arguing against higher taxes on the wealthy and for high defense department expenditures.

I hope that you are at least enjoying your stay in the United States of Amnesia.

Okay I gotta say I'm not a big fan of Bush or Mit either, but lets get a few things straight: 1. The reason you don't tax the rich is because they supply the jobs, they own the big companys. No one ever got a job from a poor guy. You tax the rich, they leave the country and they don't care where they live cause they got the cash. Donald Trump said it himself.

2. Obama's wife worked for the company that supplied Mc Donalds its food so she's a hypocrite with this whole give the kids good food thing.

3. Obama TRIPLED THE DEBT. Enough blamming GWB. We hired this guy to fix things not go around pointing fingers. Throwing money at problems don't fix them which leads me to this  3a. The Occupy Wallstreet nit wits are barking up the wrong tree. Obama sent the stimulus to the big banks (JP Morgan big Obama Campaign Contributor bye the way)and that money was supposed to go to starting small bussinesses. The banks horded the money and didn't lend it to anyone. Nice job Obama. You didn't see that comming?

4. Appologizing to the Muslim world. DON'T SPEAK FOR ME OBAMA! I didn't murder 3000 of thier people. And what good did that get him? They hate us more now in that part of the world than they ever did. ( I was there, NOT a friendly place)

5. ObamaCare. 2000 pages and nobody know's whats in it. You gotta be kidding me. Would you sign a contract without reading it? Not to mention its going to cost three times what they said it would. Again 2000 pages. That doesn't throw up a red flag to you liberals? Well now it's being exposed and boy what a nightmare it's turning out to be. Here's just ONE part of it (remember 2000 pgs) If you are 65  and diagnosed with cancer you are NOT ELIGIBLE FOR TREATMENT! Yeah you can probably get pain killers and die stoned, but I'm 46 and 65 years old sounds pretty young to me by today's standards. Oh and one more thing, the IRS has been appointed to "help" the American public with this new mandate. Help? The IRS? When did the IRS help anyone? Don't get me wrong, I believe health care needs to be reformed but man you gotta look at whats being forced upon you.

These are just a few things you need to consider. I think it is great that our country has elected a HALF African American. We as a country need to unite together of all races. Herman Cain came from a poor Baptist family and worked his ass off and became rich and successful. He is also an American Patriot. The Democrats attacked him with all thier might. Why? Even Dr. Martin Luther King's daughter supported him. Why all the hatred towards this man.

 The American dream is to work hard for your success. I don't need the Govt involved in every aspect in my life to succeed, and I certainly don't need to be taxed anymore than I am already. I am a blue collar worker and I work real hard for the little I make. God Bless.

Add these up one by one and you get a phenomenal score that points to the fact that Barrack Hussein Obama is determined to turn America into a Marxist-Socialist society. All of the items in the preceding paragraphs have been put into place. All can be documented very easily. Before you disavow this do an Internet search. The last paragraph alone is not yet cast in stone. You and I will write that paragraph.
Will it read as above or will it be a more happy ending for most of America ?

Don't just belittle the opposition. Search for the truth. We all need to pull together or watch the demise of a free democratic society. Pray for Americans to seek the truth and take action for it will keep us FREE. Our biggest enemy is not China, Russia, North Korea or Iran. Our biggest enemy is a contingent of politicians in Washington, DC . The government will not help, so we need to do it ourselves.

Question....will you ignore the truth, or pass it on to others who don't know about Obama's actions and plans for the USA , so that they may know how to vote in November, 2012 and the ensuing years?

WHEN - November 2012 comes, it will matter who you vote for!
