Anita Dunn, Venezuela here we come

It's started. Anita Dunn, White House Communication Director, has pointedly made a direct attack on Fox News claiming they are not really a news network and calling them a "wing of the Republican Party."

So the only news outlet that is not demonstratably in the pocket of the DNC and Obama is now being singled out for a direct attack. How soon will it be that any network that is not biased towards the administration is just shut down a la Venezuela dictator Hugo Chavez's operation in shutting down radio and TV stations?

This is becoming so flagrant that even coorespondents within the other networks are beginning to see the writing on the wall and cautioning that this is not "right" (pun intended). Maybe they are beginning to realize that, if you only need news reporting on how "good" you are doing, it only takes ONE network to do that and all their jobs are in jeopardy.

It's all fun and games until "you" get hurt.

Obama Money

Most have heard about the women joyfully announcing that they are going to get Obama money from "his stash" and having exactly zero idea where any such money might come from. Well, that's not an isolated incident.

I know someone who works to register people for college classes and he has been fielding calls for months regarding women who believe that they can register for college and that Obama is going to "pay their way." Why do they think this? Because they have been taught to eat fish, not how to fish.

There is an old adage that if you give a man a fish he will eat for a day, but if you teach him how to fish he will eat for a lifetime. Liberalism doesn't want people to know how to fish, it wants them to depend on the next handout and be lost without it and therefore remain dependent upon liberals for their very survival. Why? Because, when people are dependent, those upon whom they depend have the power and control.

If you can keep people dumb and dependent you don't have an informed populace, what you have is slaves dependent upon their master for food, clothing, and their very survival. As those who have been slaves begin to figure this out and become educated, the liberals among us move on the the next under-educated group and welcomes them into the fold of salvery and dependency. This has most recently become the illegal aliens from Mexico, Central and South America.

Will people eventually learn? Not if you can keep them ignorant of history and the way the world actually works. So as long as they think they are getting free money to do things "from Obama's stash" the liberals have them right where they want them. There is an old saying that there is no one so blind as he who will not see.

There is no one so enslaved as he who refuses to be free.

Why government bailouts can't work

Where does the money for the "bailouts" come from? Taxes. Where do taxes come? The people and businesses who are working. What happens if you keep raising the taxes to get more money for the bailouts. Less people and businesses will be working and more will need bailouts.

Hmmm.

Eventually everyone will be in the little red wagon and no one will be pulling it, and we'll all be going exactly nowhere really fast.

As President Regan said, "Government is not the solution to the problem. Government IS the problem."

Pocket Constitution

Boy, I've done it now. I'm one of those guys who now has in my possession a pocket version of the Constitution, Amendments and the Declaration of Independence. You know what amazes me? It's so small yet not really small print. The document that established the United States of America does not occupy volumes and volumes of legalese and incomprehansible legal jargon and doublespeak.

The founding fathers were very intelligent and amazingly concise, direct and comprehensible in what they put in writing. It's taken over 230 years to try to undo what they did. Hopefully it will take hundreds more without succeeding.

Nobel Peace Prize?

I'm not sure what they are smoking in Norway, but it must be some good... stuff. Obama was "nominated" for this when he had been President for less than two weeks and had done... nothing. Now, almost 9 months later, if Saturday Night Live is any indicator, he has still done... only "Jack" and "Squat."

And for this he gets the Nobel Peace Prize?

Maybe the Academy should immediately award the Oscar for best actor to somebody they think might do some kind of good picture next year.

From all enemies, foreign and DOMESTIC

Senators and Congressmen take the following oath of office.

"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God. "

Have you asked a Congressman or Senator what they have done to defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic? I have. I never got an answer.

So what do you do if you think your Congressman or Senator is the domestic enemy of the Constitution?

Funeral

Last Saturday was Dad's funeral. Everything went well, but it's still hard. My son took it pretty hard and I understood why. Yes, he is sad about grandpa being gone, but he's also very angry, but maybe not for the reason you might think.

Adam is angry because, for all the sacrifices grandpa and all of his generation made in WWII, here we are now on the verge of losing everything they fought for. To be more exact, we are not losing our freedoms we are giving them away in the name of security. However, as Benjamin Franklin said, "They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. "

Freedom comes with a price.
