Self-righteousness has traditionally been a term attached by the media and democrats to anyone forcing their moral guidelines on the rest of society.  You know, those horrible busybodies in opposition to adults having sex with children, fatherless families, abortions of convenience, communism, marxism, and [D] Senator Byrd’s beloved KKK.
 
Nothing encroaches on the freedoms of democrats like telling them you dont want to pay for their children, their houseing, their groceries, or locking up their most loyal voting consituency – 3rd time felons.

Replacing the vile Christians in this new century, Democrats plan to bring us what we’ve always knew would solve the root of suffering in the world:  Snack-eaters.

No, there isnt going to be any stipulations made for the protected class of generational dumdums who burden society with their outrageous disregard of humanity. We’re going after the real culprits this time, the sinister snackenstiens among us.
They are the real evil of this world!  How dare they have a total body fat percentage over 3%! 

While you’re paying for your the neighbor’s little darling’s 2nd abortion and her right to hide it from her parent(s), you will not find solitude with your bag of Doritos without the new Behavior Police whacking you with a punitive tax.

Can of soda you say?  Not so fast. You must pay extra for you sugar intake, because it’s just not moral to indulge in such slovenly behavior without first paying the fiddler.   Don’t even joke around that you’re going to roll your own cigarettes away from the public eye – to do so is a sin against goverment.  One of the first actions of our Dear Leader was to close the “loophole” on bulk tobacco.

The new sin taxation was outright rejected by the people only a few months back when congressional democrats mulled over their newfound (predicted years ago) venue into our wallets. 
Have no fear, because the democrat’s counterparts in the media and the CDC are pushing forward with reports, studies, and glib support for renewing this call for higher morality and the demonization of these junkhounds. McDonalds, Lay’s, Hershey’s beware, we know you are the root of evil unlike no other since the crusaders. 

You will be stopped!

As I puff away my cigarette at midnight, I’m in awe of the stars.  Thousands pinned to the blackness above me and I’m saddened to know I’ll never be closer to any one of them as I am right now.  Im sad to think they’re randomly positioned by a violent cosmic birth, their trajectory increasing, expanding, heading to an unkown end as does everything before and after we’re gone.

I’m sad to think there could have been a creator – who abandoned it.  Did “He” create more life somewhere, or has it sprang from some long microbiotic misadventure?  Are we alone. Is there a purpose.  Why.

The cigarette winks out,

The stars fade from my mind.

As much as they’ll never know or care that I ever existed, I now feel the same about the universe.

Besides, stars dont have breasts.

“It took Bush 8 years to get us into this mess, it will take years to clean it up!”. 
It’s meant to derail any thought or questioning of the Obama-owned economy by people who dont understand economics and are coincidentally rabid Obama supporters.  Dont confuse this with a rant  tarring all democrats, there’s still a few Blue Dogs who care about the well being of Americans.

Amazingly, even in this age of instant access to documented facts (and even pictures for those with a public education ) myths are formed and spread ad nauseum without much resistance.  Instead of delving into poor jounalism and why it exists, I’ll just set the record straight about how the economy collapsed. It’s so simple a caveman ……well, you know.

The quickest way to deal with it is simply to respond “Really, how so?”   If utter silence doesnt ensue, it’s likely  you’re now hearing that Cheney is hiding the Iraqi oil in his secret basment (you know, the one he accesses from a fake phonebooth) or well thought-out brilliant quips about how Bush commanded hurricanes to kill blacks.  If you dont walk off somewhere to rip your hair out, you can try to pass on a little wisdom.  Consider it your civic duty or simple charity. 

The line-up shouldnt surprise anyone, with the exception of 6th graders and younger:  Carter, Clinton, Cuomo, Franks, Dodd, and Acorn have their fingerprints all over this economic wrecking-ball, some more than other for the last 30 years - but even as recently as a few years ago when they put up roadblocks to reform the system.  17 Republicans including Bush and McCain petitioned the congress to specifically reign in Freddy and Fanny, but were given “the hand” by a party who then turned around with amazing gall wailing “Bush Caused This Mess!”  It’s a helluva talking point  -  3  one syllable words designed to empassion people who only read headlines or catch youtube bites.

I’ve detailed the time-line ”here“.  Next time you’re trying to have a rational discussion about the economy you’ll be ready when an individual drops the “The Bush Mess” canard (equivalent of a bean-fart) into the fray.

Putting socialism into hyperdriver, the Obama administration is right now ramming through punitive health care policy, unfair trade advantages to benefit China, Cap and Trade that not one serious economist supports, - all while the fire’s hot. 

Stay tuned.

One of the biggest eye-glazers can be the explanation of federal spending.  Everyone has their own spin and bias reporting these figures, so the Heritage Foundation does the work and provides an easy to understand chart for the rest of us…….

On a related note: Congress has increased spending by 50% for travels to exotic islands with their families, fancy dinners, and airfare to places most will never be able afford – all in the name of understanding the world.

Free clue for our leadership:  Get a webcam and video conference to get your learn on.  You have no right to bring your family and friends to the Galapogos or Paris on the back of the taxpayers.

President Obama said that he would not meddle in Iran’s elections by putting pressure on their ”soveign democracy” to investigate what is globally seen as  corrupted results, in effect supporting a mini-dictator who’s threatened to carry out genocide on Israel (as well as being the biggest arms supplier to terrorists in Iraq).

This week, President Obama takes the side of Honduran mini-dictator Manuel Zelaya who tried to forcibly and unconstitutionally remain in office past term limits, going as far as calling the protection of their consitution and government-backed removal,  an illegal coup. 

President Obama prides himself as a constitutional scholar, and must know that his actions fly in the face of the most rudimental laws governing free elections and has taken the wrong side of two major foreign policy issues in only a few weeks time.

He is thus far establishing a very clear trend of jumping to the support of dictators instead of their oppressed citizens.  These are not the actions of a caring and compassionate man of the people.  Compounding his ineptness is the breaking of US tradition by bowing to foreign kings and pushing for direct negotiations with unsavory dictators who smuggly defy the most basic human rights of their citizens.  His first action as President was to write glossy “can we be friends” letters to those who oppress and abuse the people of their nations. 

This President’s foreign policy failures are massive and stand in stark contrast to his campaign promises of a global Utopia under his tutelage.  North Korea, Iran, Cuba, Russia, and China, have all been thumbing their noses at President Obama and US interests.  It’s easy to criticize former President Bush for his lack of eloquency at times, but one thing remains clear – he understood the psychology and danger of menace states and dealt with them in a manner that does not reward bad behavior.

Even Obama’s staunchest supporters must realize that any further rationalization or support of his foreign polcies thus far, are not in line with the American people’s feelings or interests and are lying with straight faces to their consituents about ther merits of the President’s actions.
