Dams, Levees, Bridges, and Liberals.

Dams, levees, bridges, and other public works failing is something that happens in the THIRD WORLD! We are too wealthy to accept the current bureaucracy..

 http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/29908560/

 While it is sad it brings up a good point: Liberals seem to romanicize living in a mud hut and dying of public works failing...there's no reason we should ever have to see something like that happen in America ever again.

 I have to clarify, of course: the solution is not to keep dumping money into the programs as Obama is going to, but to reduce the current budget in real and creative ways. I'm essentially proposing that we rethink and reform the way governmental services are delivered (from the municiple/township level on up( and reduce cost and, therefore, taxes. 

I apologize for not posting as much, but I havent gotten more than 6 hours of sleep at a time let alone have time to blog :(

AIG

Wow...I'm as tired of class envy as I am race-based divisionism....

Get over it: Dodd admitted on CNN that he knew about the bonuses so its not any sort of 'advantage' of the Dems...just a distraction from Obama's policies that his teleprompter has created. 

Anyway, its less than one tenth of one percent of the money they were given...earmarks make up 2% of the total spending by Obama's admin...so why are the AIG 165million in bonuses significant and the 2% of Congress' insignificant???

Idiot libs.

If Rush is the head of the GOP, is Jon Stewart the Grand Wizard of the Dems?


Liberal Democrat Jim Cramer was publically insulted by Partisan Demogogue, host of the Daily Show, Jon Stewart for some mistakes that he (and literally millions of others) made concerning the financial crisis as it was hatching out of its rotten Obaegg...

Cramer might be a liberal but he knows how things work (at least as much as a liberal can) and he had committed a Deadly Sin of attacking Obama's economic policies - saying that he had destroyed more wealth than any president before him...which is true. If he just made the mistake of prediction, Stewart would have never lashed out at him..it was the comment about The Obama that set the machine working against Cramer. Illustrated in this case is the ranching mentality of the Democrats modern political machine; they keep their cows/sheep/whatever in line by whipping them back into formation. (The GOP, on the other hand, keeps its troops around central principles and excommunicates those who dont follow those principles.) 

So Cramer became a traitor to The Obama. Instead of dirtying himself, The Obama and his Gibbs went on sniping at Rush while the machine commissioned Jon Stewart to put Cramer in his place. This is just the bad politics of the Democratic party. They dont have, and dont want, anything but party hard-liners preaching the Socialist Gospel to all of us through the  media. The reassertion of this fact came about when Cramer appeared on the Daily Show (a liberal comedy show...anything liberal is comedy, of course) and kissed Stewarts ring...an expression I heard referencing Steele and Rush.

A simple observation can be made correlating the two actions. When Steele apologized to Rush, he wasnt apologizing to the man but to the ideas he represents soley because conservatives dont put faith in people, we put faith in ourselves and in ideas that have proven true throughout history. The same holds true for Cramer...he wasnt making nice to Stewart, he was slobbering all over The Obama and his ring (The Obama's ring, unlike Stewarts, is huge...it contains the crushed dreams of millions). 

If you dont like it, get out and get involved in 2010 and 2012...bring an end to The Obama's destruction of personal property.

And Obama Wants to be like Iceland?

To the present, President Obama has proposed (never any bills, mind you) a huge array of socialistic programs: national health care, redistributory taxes, mean-and-green charges, subsidized higher education, taking guns away, etc. etc.

This article tells us how intelligent socialists are (remember how Iceland kept bailing its failing government financial structure out and they went bankrupt...destroying the government?)

Wow.

Blitz!

I'm trying a news blitz with a little commentary. You really only have to read the headlines.

http://www.bostonherald.com/news/regional/view/2009_03_13_Survey_finds_many_Hub_kids_placing_blame_on_Rihanna:_The_beat_goes_on/srvc=home&position=also

D-D-D-D-Derrrrrrrrr.

You know Obama is doing a good job when our creditors are worried about the security of their bonds....


If China jerks those around too much, our economy could very easily collapse. With thousands of American nukes in orbit, I dont think China will want to distrupt the stability of the Constitution.

But I've been wrong in the past.
------
Michael Steele...

...needs to be ousted. He's doing nothing but hurting our party and breeding disunity and strife. Rush Limbaugh is a more intelligent and better on PR than Steele (the latter is really saying something).

-----
When you stabilize consumer spending at a very low level, you end up in the Great Depression because the government has created disincentives for spending more.


Oh...there's also a HUGE redistribution of wealth because statically low consumer spending and uniquely UnAmerican, high consumer saving: it gives the guvmint an excuse to confiscatorily tax the big savings pots just sitting there. When that is done, government destroys the deep well of private banking capital that allows credit markets to naturally loosen and ultimately bring the economy back (speed depending on how low abusive regulations and onerous taxes are). 
-----
So the Democracy Corps says the attacks on Rush are 'working...'


So the Communist Corps, run by Clintonistas, thinks its working....so they polled moonbats on the way to buy smack in Central Park and San FranSicko.... They are working, Rush's audience has grown to 25million people.... So theyre working....

huh?
-----

If the UAW sticks around, no. If the Dems win next year in Michigan, no.
----

Just like the 'civil disobedience from the MEA... What losers.
----
This is from our state propaganda administration, I'm sorry...


NOOOO THE TURTLES!
----
Exactly...when do we get to see him swining on cell phone cam?
----

So the MIGOP's transparency campaign makes SO much sense that it's influencing Europeans...
----
YEAH


Ok I'm done. Have a great day everybody!

Dictatorship

Here's the article...

Here's what I have to say...

So Obama's finally bypassing a MAJOR piece separation of powers piece...allowing bureaucracies (in the executive branch) to spend money that the Constitution explicitly charges to Congressional control. Obama's parring up to be right in line with FDR's packing the courts and other authoritarian moves by presidents. Congress controls the purse-strings...it limits the the executive from becoming tyranny. We need to turn the tides back towards freedom...

We have to beat this guy in 2012...

Drip, Drop in the Cobo

Everyone has heard about the Cobo Center, right? Detroit's convention center that just happens to be, like everything else in that city, falling apart and is still being used (probably in the violation of safety codes ignored by the corrupt oversight in that city). The building, as it is possessed by Detroit/Lansing anti-auto spirits, leaked "nasty crap that came from the roof" onto a beautiful 1959 Ford Galaxy on display at 'Autorama.' Great...Detroit is so crazy that the buildings have even begun trying to destroy Michigan's heritage.

It was, what, two weeks ago that Monica Conyers and other moronic councilpersons racially denied the request to fix these kind of problems with no cost to the city? The roof leaking is just one of the many problems included in the $203million of "deferred maintinence," as Brooks Patterson cited. 

Not a very intelligent move...but lets meet the (now) Detroit City Council President:

Monica Conyers everybody....


Ok...so she got her big, comfy, bribe-taking behind kicked by some very eloquent kids...that's the humorous part.

 The rest is just plain hilarity...

I couldn't write it better, so this is from the Detroit News:

“A pitiful Teamster official who practically crawled to the table on his knees expressing profuse respect for this disrespectful body was battered by both the crowd and the council.

When he dared suggest that an improved Cobo Center would create more good-paying jobs for union workers, Conyers reminded him, “Those workers look like you; they don’t look like me.”

Desperate, he invoked President Barack Obama’s message of unity and was angrily warned, “Don’t you say his name here.”

Juxtapose the place and the faces and imagine a white Livonia City Council treating a black union representative with such overt racial hostility. The Justice Department would swoop down like a hawk, and the Rev. Al Sharpton would clog Five Mile Road with protesters.”


Many people are going to see that as 'offensive,' but we should never empower others (especially bigoted Detroit libs) enough to offend us. 

When you think about it, it's rather funny...racism doesn't exist on our side, the side of sanity. We don't need to get angry over the moronic zombivoters in Detroit. It'll take no work from anyone: just play the videos for people you're convincing and let the liberals do their talking, like usual, they dig their own holes.

Warm Spring, Melting Snow...and Flooding.

I havent got the chance to write to my local paper about the massive amount of flooding that occurs every year as the snow melts, yet I do intend to.

Anyone living in Allegan or Ottawa (the only two counties I've been in for the last...few months...) has seen standing water around this time of year. It happened last year...and the year before that...and before that...so much so that it seems that the lake levels keep dropping because all the water has gone on an adventure! ...Right into our backyards...

Preventing widespread flooding is generally the responsibility of the Drain Commissioner...ours in Allegan county is Becky Rininger and I voted for her. I was young and naive at that time (because five months ago is that long)...I didnt remember that it floods every year and never seems to stop.

This level of flooding is plainly unreasonable. I've never met Mrs. Rininger and I probably agree with her on many things, all I can see is that the ground isnt exacly comissioned to drain properly. The ebb and flow of standing water we drive past/through every day represents something much bigger...

The people charge their government with a basic protection of their lives and property. This fact is illustrated by the water problem: we the people have given the authority to non-restrictively protect us from flooding (from molding leftovers and that fun, pull-you-and-yo'-house-away flooding). When this isnt accomplished, we have to step up, talk about it, and force some action.

Personal involvement is a cornerstone of our republic and it is true at every level: federal, state, and local. If we neglect this, the future becomes rotten with powerful bureaucrats and fringe wackos that empower these bureaucrats. These phenomena begin 99% of the time at the local level...

We dont really realize it because the media reports it the opposite way, but corruption and liberal/bureaucratic hedonism begin in all of our towns and move up through the system through the political mobility of said corruptocrats. As an example: it would have been much more possible to dismantle The Obama's political career before he had the full workings of the Dem's political machine behind him, would it not?

Now I'm not calling Rininger a liberal or anything, but the situation involving her and her office only illustrates that much bigger problem of us dropping our end of the Constitution's deal. Paralleling the need get together and push some results from the Drain Commissioners of Allegan and Ottawa counties, we absolutely have to live out our values with a focus on where we have the most political impression and personal effect on the politics and people around us: at the local level.

Involvement is necessary, the consequence of failing to do so results in more 41st streets ending up under water and ruined...or someone could possibly die the next time a 52nd street collapses. 

(Did I get the latter correct? Was it 52nd in Manlius township that was washed out from under those three people in the Jeep last summer?)

The Obama say NO to unemployment

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/29547702/

"Obama noted the many critics of the package, but he said government leaders have a responsibility to act for future generations. The United States has met every challenge with bold action and big ideas, he said, and "that's what fueled a shared and lasting prosperity.""

So lets load all of us future generations up with debt that idiotically spends the wealth yet to be created on a package that sets up a wealth-halting cycle that destroys any and all hope for Americans? Obama is correct by saying being laid off  is "a future that millions of Americans still face right now" solely because of his stimulus package.

Does no one remember that the numbers began to correct themselves in January? Oh...then we pass the Savior's legislative Sword of Truth with which The Obama say NO to job losses and we get this mess: 4.4million jobs lost.

The fact that recessions are never created by private action: solely by extra-marketal affairs...namely the actions of Church institutions and the government. I know our paper-thin economics education tells us its the opposite, but think about it: what businessperson...someone who's profession is based on analyzing trends and looking out for themselves....is going to make a decision that will contribute to a downward spiral that would destroy any and all hope of a stable profit margin? 

As Americans, we just have to use common sense in looking at the problems that the government is putting in the blender. 

A note on CPAC: I highly suggest that we all watch Rush's speech http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qtvtBGWgBc&feature=related

A blurb on Michigan

AHH! I'm sorry I havent been back since Wednesday!! I need to set up a reminder to blog when my alarm goes off on my phone in the morning -_-

Here we go: the following is what I call a comment 'war' from Facebook (I apologize to no end for the lack of...you know...grammatical structure)...

Other Guy:
The union UAW is responsible for the large middle class in this Nation. They are not to blame for the big 3 demise. It is our tax structure that puts an excise tax on domestic production, thus the exidos of jobs after free trade policy was put in place. Fair TAx cures all this.

Me:
There is no panacea just like there is no one, singular cause to any economic recession (other than, of course, general ones like 'Democrats'). One can make a defensible case on the UAW not causing the demise of the big 3, but the case I argue is centered upon the seed of chaos (Unionism as we define it today) watered by the radically pro-labor position taken by both the govt of Michigan and the city of Detroit. 

With the complexity of the MI tax/regulatory structure (which centers around corporate 'nodes' like the Big 3, Spartan Stores, Meijer, etc.), we saw a few years ago a government trying to sap its entire revenue off of that main node. During the Engler admin, the legislature (under Republicans, of course) moved to dismantle this mindset and restore the freedom of the Big 3 while equalizing and lowering the tax burden on the whole state. Just like a newborn wildebeest, the Big 3 stumbled around in its new freedom and knocked the Michigan Economy on its butt.

Granholm was in at that point...her approach was to, guess what, preserve the lifeblood of the Democratic party in the state (Unions) so she took a(nother) hard approach of propping the stumbling wildebeest up (returning to the pre-Engler modus operandi). By now, the MBT is set up and giving breaks to the Big 3 that imported corporations would die for. Sparing these unionized companies the burden of taxation exploits the tax avenues left behind by the equalization efforts of the legislature under Engler and Sikkema while leaving a gaping hole in the budget. 

The Fair Tax is something that is needed, but Former Rep. Fulton Sheen's other proposals (http://tinyurl.com/cmh6kl) take large steps toward meeting what was recommended by the Senate Emergency Fiscal blahblah in '06: radically reforming the way Michigan does government and delivers services. We spend 38% of our budget of expensively decrepit social programs and depend on a tax structure so old it's physically rotting.

Other guy:
Chris what you have described points out very clearly the need for the Michigna Fair Tax plan and the National fair tax plan to get government out of the way of free enterprise. 

I would by the way, also propose that it is illegal by a Law, for a union to fraudulantly protect any worker who does not give a fair days wage for a fair days work.

Me:
Libertarians and many conservatives have a kind of confirmation bias...seeing government as a simple network of things but recognize, when asked, that it is not so. Taxation isnt the only, though it is the most apparent, negative effector of free commerce. 

We, of course, have a multitude of other negations of business functions descending from the Michigan budgeting process: leaving in a bunch of baggage from many, many years passed. Its just silly and Sheen's second proposal addresses that. In addition to that, the Michigan constitution should be amended to provide for open debate on every single budget item passed each fiscal year. 

I do realize this may possibly put geezers' lives at risk from all the all-night debating (we love you, Patty B.) but that if it is what is necessary for good government, then this should be asked of our legislators.
------------
I'll update with his reponse, if there is one...
-----------

You might be asking yourself: who's to blame for this economic tsunami? It's nobody's fault. I, personally, blame it on the mindset of our lesser forebears and the idea that "we can just put off problems til we're out of office" present from the township to the federal level...exasperated by term limits, of course.

So where do we go? I give props to Sheen's prop.'s while forming our governmental dialouge toward a more just, democratic society. After all, the root of a democracy is the individual...so why do we focus on corporations and unions and all these other manufactured groups?
