"You
boys are just dumber than a bag of hammers!" When George Clooney said
that he wasnt talking about his fellow Democrats but the remark would
have been very suitable if he had. Two weeks into the New Age Of Change
the Democrats and their hapless leader have proven that without the
political cover given them by George W Bush they stand revealed to one
and all as a corrupt clique of totally selfish, incompetent socialist
hacks.
It seems that to Nancy Pelosi economic stimulus is
achieved by borrowing or printing a trillion bucks and handing it out
to every Demo interest group in the country. There is not a single
thing in this bill that that will do anything to effect the economy
except the trillion-dollar price tag which will destroy the currency.
The ugly reality of the greed and arrogance of the Pelosiites was such
a shock that it completely unified the Republicans in the House and
caused the bill to be passed without a single Republican vote. The
public support for this monstrosity is melting away and the anger for
its failure will be directed at the Democrats.
Meanwhile Obama
goes out of his way to castigate Rush Limbaugh, a private citizen, in
much stronger terms than Bush used against the New York Times when it
undermined our country's war against the terrorists. The result of this
was to define Rush as the leading expounder of the conservative agenda.
When every word he says turns out to be true its not smart for Obama to
focus attention on Rush. This bill is indefensible. Everyone, including
the Dems, knows it. Limbaugh saying it at a critical moment focused the
opposition to it. The mainstream media has so weakened itself that the
storyline cant be controlled in the way that it was during the
election. And now the truth has been revealed to the Republican
politicians...the Dems mean to use ACORN and their pet unions to make
their power permanent. If the Repubs dont fight they will be completely
locked out of the system forever.
Now the Dems are intoning the
mantra that CEO salaries and bonuses should come under government
control. Good, I'm all for it. These same CEOs and executives that
backed these socialists so enthusiastically and connived with these
same hack politicians for subsidies, favorable regulations and fat-cat
contracts have to put the tricolor cockade in their hats and yell "
Vive la revolution!" with a smile on their face. Jeffery Katzenburg
deserves to
have his pay set at $400,000 a year...about a thousandth of his current
income...to reward him for his heartfelt support for the New Age.
Keep
in mind that the Card Check Bill ( the Worker Freedom Act or some such
Orwellian title) just was amended to include a provision that
deadlocked labor disputes will be 'arbitrated' by a government board
with the power to determine 'fair wages and conditions'. In Europe
these boards have traditionally been packed with leftist zealots with
zero experience working at a real job. Not such fiery Marxists that the
larger, well-connected employers wont be able to reach out to them with a more
ancient form of materialism than that envisioned by Marx, mind you, but
still pretty harshly anti-business. So the principle of the government
setting compensation in the name of equity is pretty much a given
amongst our new masters. They'll raise worker salaries until the
companies break and have to go crawling to the government for subsidies
to protect all those jobs. Back door nationalization.
Obama also
wandered into exciting new ground with his remark that businesses
should forget about making a profit for a while for patriotic reasons.
So losing money has now become virtuous. That'll jump-start the
economy. That and a 99.9% pay cut ought to motivate those pesky CEOs to
go out and create some jobs.
Now that he actually has a job
where he's responsible for something meaningful we see that our current
Illiniosian, except for his jug ears and long legs, is very unlike that
other President from Illinios to whom he wants to be compared. We now
have to settle down to a government run by some of the most deluded and
egotistical people that any nation has ever been cursed with. They've
studied history and economics with Ward Churchill and apes of his ilk
and the century of socialist failure is unknown to them. How did a
group of people so intellectually inadequate ever achieve power in a
once-great nation? This is the fault of a completely ignorant
electorate, a people no longer worthy to be citizens of a democracy.
Now they'll be serfs in a tyranny run by a pack of dummies.
