CAFETERIA: Liberal lunch ladies dishing out problems for Michigan

We all know about the federal CAFE standards for reduction in auto emissions, right? Well...remember these are federal, so they apply to the whole nation. This makes sense. It's easy to enforce and you the auto makers don't have to develop their own accounting firm to deal with it.

Change is a-comin'!

Obama wants to pass new standards; higher, of course, and that allow states to set their own (tighter) standards (Calipandering - Libs loving that blob of a state on the west coast - California wanted to set higher standards). Fourteen have decided to do so.

Why don't we just send a memo to GM, Ford, Chrysler, Nissan, Mazda, Honda Toyota, and all the rest of the auto industry and tell them we just cannot have them employing millions of our citizens anymore??? This is ridiculous! Every interstate auto manufacturer/supplier is going to have to put together its own accounting firm to deal with this idiot inconsistency - real good for the already hyperinflated overhead costs of the Big 3.

This can be illustrated through another, related problem: Why do gas prices get so high? Same inconsistency. Michigan has different standards than Indiana...so if there is a shortage in Michigan, prices go sky high because you cannot, as common sense would dictate, pump it up from Indiana because of bureaucratic, global-warming-scare regulations...

Perhaps I falsely hope that our legislators will adapt their standards to the Big 3 and Nissan as to make it consistent with those companies' locations outside of Michigan. We can only expect that our governor's intimate knowledge of how things don't work will serve to deny my hopes. Anyway, Dems are just proving, again, that they just fail to understand the role of government in America...

Simply put, it is government's job to create a stable, safe, and clean environment for all to exercise the vast well of opportunity that is our God-given right. Out of these three relative terms, stable is the most important for business, and having 36 states one way then have 14 others that are all radically different in their own individual ways is the antithesis of stable for interstate commerce. For this reason, I'm going to be calling these new standards the CAFETERIA list.

No particular acronym comes to mind, but the domestic auto industry is going to have the chaos of a poorly-designed cafeteria. I expect we'll be talking about this intellectual bankruptcy for a good long time and I'd like a chuckle unto myself when writing about it.

Obama, Kennedy have interesting connection

As has been known for a while, Sen. Edward Kennedy(D-Mass.) is currently suffering of a brain tumor. Before I joke about him, I have to say that our prayers go out to him and the few decent members of his family. Due to this brain tumor, however, the senator from Clan Kennedy is now, quite literally, a mindless party vote.

As is said here, Sen. Kennedy was infested with the new 'cool' aura of D.C. and, as expected, collapsed of a seizure at a luncheon for the newly-coronated President Barack Hussein Obama. Reported by those who have political points to gain, President Obama rushed over to his former Senate colleague, ordered the lights off, and waited for EMS to take the old geezer to the hospital where he now lies recovering.

Now for the real story...

Kennedy, who's brain tumor is merely a way to explain away his idiocy, had too much to drink at the luncheon, duly collapsed and, reportedly, died of unknown causes. President Obama noticed a crowd forming and rushed to it, seeking publicity as always. Happening upon the 76-year-old man lying crumpled in broken heap on the floor, the 47-year-old promptly resurrected him.

Directly following the miracle, EMS arrived and the President ordered all back to the feast. The crowd dispersed and, in order to protect the wall of separation of church and state, Kennedy was sent with the responders so Obama would not be sainted by the Catholic church.

After the luncheon, and for his second herculean accompishment of the day, Obama went dancing.

Who needs reality television? We've got the news.

Anyone checked the news today? There's too much for me to talk about here:



Lebanese Cant Shoot

http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/world/la-fg-gaza15-2009jan15,0,624396.story

So the Lebanese Islamist crazies are so doped up on opiods that, in a rocket attack on Israel, cant hit anything or anyone. Not only did they do 'no damage' and kill no one (thankfully on both), a few of the rockets landed in their own territory! Go Israel: Survival of the Fittest!



EU Leaders Increase Crop Prices to Consumers, Decrease to Farmer

http://edition.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/europe/01/14/europe.pesticides.ban/

Who works for the EU?? Who decides this stuff? I dont know how they get picked, but I swear the Europeans must sit on street corners and pick all the prostitutes, theives, and illegal immigrants to be their leaders. However, let it be known that I support the EU limiting its farmers crop production...why? Because then European veggies are forced to buy more of our crop and that's good for West Michigan!

GOP to take big in '10,'12, Dems are being Dems

http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-obama-taxes14-2009jan14,0,7093997.story

I have NO IDEA how Republicans lose to these people.... We can take the next few elections by just shutting up!





and last but not least:





Obama declares himself Jesus!

http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5hKu8nsNSKN7dLMaipz21XLVts-wgD95MUI6G0

I'll bet you he actually broke bread...Obama is too great to repeat Jesus...he had to repeat God himself. Obama spoke with his mouth Isaiah 45:7- "I form light and create darkness, I make well-being and create calamity, I am the Lord, who does all these things. "


Gotta love media coverage.... After the media equated with Obama’s ascension with the Second Coming of Christ, it’s entirely unsurprising that they’re now predicting the End of Days. Obama’s fixation on talking-down the economy goes hand-in-hand with exploiting this crisis to its full potential to advance his socialist agenda. When Bush did this stuff, it was the end of the world- one of the busiest Bush-Bashing media days ever! Tsk, tsk.

TARP

TARP: Troubled Assets Relief Program

Earlier this morning, I cared to research what the plan's actual name was. Being that I had only seen the abbreviated version, I had related it to Nixon's Temporary Aid to Needy Families (TANF)...

TARP: Temporary Aid to Rich People

Trail of Tears

As we know, the Trail of Tears was when Andrew Jackson, arguably the worst president in our history (coincidentally a Democrat), sent a bunch of Indians to their dooms by a Nazi-style forced march to Oklahoma. Regrettably, for Jackson, all the warring tribes ended up not killing each other (mass elimination was part of the plan) and ended up living in harmony to this day (OK has a higher native American concentration than any other state)

I title this article the Trail of Tears not for a boring history lesson, but with an allusion to the modern Jackson. While Andrew Jackson was, albiet warrantlessly, the hero of propertyless white men, Obama is the hero, albiet warrantlessly, of poor, labeled 'black'Americans.

Now comes the great wash of tears: the media has been forced to report that the Oblitorator cannot carry all his baggage.

There will be a trail of political tears away from the inauguration...hopefully he'll continue to use his own political capital on ventures with as much value as GM stock.

Devaluation of Human Life

Another example of the steady devaluation of human life that has been happening since Roe v. Wade appeared on some driveby media establishment. (link: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28521854/)

Sadly, a baby that had died was thrown out with the trash and debate rages between the parents -who can gain cash from the fiasco- and the hospital as to when he died. In New Jersey, according to the drive-by's, a stillborn isnt considered human. I thought the North Eastern Lib'rals liked standing up for the littlest guys of all...

I post this because of my distant mourning for the child and those like him while I wish to comment on the weight of this court case. The courts decision could set a precedent (the parents claim the baby was alive for 20 minutes) that would either revalue or devalue further the life of babies. Progressive and subsequent court cases in more moderate states, if the decision is to destroy the rights of children more, would move the 'bar' (no pun intended) up in age destroying the rights of kids living for 30 minutes, an hour, two hours, a day, a week, a month, 9 months, a year, 5 years, perhaps anything under 18! It's crazy, but the prophetic lyrics of the song "Anything Goes" tell it how it is.

For instance, you can drop your kid off in Nebraska and leave and the state will take care of them...just the beginning.

Obama's Debt

A couple of articles on national debt

One
Two

In discussing politics with uneducated students at GVSU and elsewhere, I often speak from the perspective of base problems; it allows me to tackle very complex questions in a manageable and efficient way. For our nation, though, these problems are two basic things: bad parenting and national debt.

I will write and you may read more about the previous on this blog, but the latter is something discussed in the above articles. I, like many conservatives, watch the dialogue around government spending with horror as it move to what government can and will do to save us for us. From the economy to hurt feelings, the media and its mindless zombivoters believe that government is the solution and, subsequently, those that wield it are the equivalent of Jesus himself.

As you know, whenever government does anything (big, small, broad, narrow) it is 'oppressive' solely because government has no original resources. For example, when government spends a dollar, it must steal that dollar from the private sector: you and me. When it spends $1trillion on a bailout that doesn't work, it steals that money from you and me and redistributes our wealth to its 6-digit, Wall Street buddies who, coincidentally, had donated to political campaigns (overwhelmingly to the Dems) over expensive drinks in New York penthouses. But I digress...

It is because of the oppressive tendencies of the New-Deal/Nazi-Germany/Fascist-Italy dialogue of governmental action that I legitimately fear national bankruptcy. Why? Because zombiDems will faithfully follow Obama off the deep end. This massive new spending package will give nothing back to those it will take from. The doomsday media articles, like those above, give public justification for a go-for-broke, across the board tax increase that will put businesses under, cut jobs, force individuals to go bankrupt, repopulate government housing to Granholm-like levels, increase crime, and do an innumerable amount of other negative things that you can list just by using your imagination.

So what then? History proves that oppressive taxes cannot sate the irascible appetite of government. The American people will lose hope, our economy wilt, and all that is green and good in the world will be lost as forests fall for cash and fields go uncultivated. But even then...the more the plans fail the more the planners will plan. My fellow conservatives, just keep the faith: nothing that will happen in the next four years will prove us wrong, everything that will happen in the next four years will prove us right, Right and good for America.
