The Game of The Day

by Carl E. Van Buren on January 27, 2010 · 0 comments

“To say that the United States should be answerable for twenty-five millions of dollars without knowing whether the ways and means can be provided, and without knowing whether those who are to succeed us will think with us on the subject, would be rash and unjustifiable.” –James Madison

The Game of The Day

This evening, our president, the Anointed One, will grace us with yet another chapter in the ongoing saga of his excuses crusade.  Excuses why the economy is so far in the hole that our great-great-great-(well you get the picture)-grandchildren will still be trying to pay off the interest he will have accumulated on our debt.  Of course that’s W’s fault. 

He will try to excuse the fact that he has been in office more then a year and the Health Care plan is very little closer to being passed then it was in August.  Of course that’s the Republicans (and W’s) fault.  It doesn’t matter that more then 65% of the people in the country do not want it, or that he cannot get enough support in his own party to pass it.  Oh, that’s Massachusetts fault.

What is amazing to me is that with all his failures, this man remains so arrogant that he really believes this minimal gesture of a spending freeze of only 17% of the budget will satisfy the people, and cause them to return the support he was blessed with only a few months ago.  What he will not tell us, is that these same programs have already had a 22% increase in their annual appropriations in the past two years, and another 25% increase including stimulus.  He will not tell us what the CBO already has.  That the during the first three years of his Presidency, 2009-11, the federal government will borrow and estimated $3.7 trillion.  That’s $3,700,000,000,000.00!!  The sad part of this is that my father had never even heard of the word ‘trillion’ before he died, and today they talk about it as if it’s common place. What’s more, that is substantially greater than all of the accumulated national debt for the first 225 years of this countries history.  Again, we must remember, that too is W’s fault.

Wonderful insight into Obama

by Cayenne on January 11, 2010 · 0 comments

This was written by Robin who is a licensed psychotherapist and a recovering liberal in Berkeley.  (This is one of the best descriptions of BHO that I have read. Everyone should read this.)

“He’s a real nowhere man,

Sitting in his nowhere Land,

Making all his nowhere plans

for nobody. . .

He’s as blind as he can be,

Just sees what he wants to see,

Nowhere Man can you see me at all?”

(Lennon, McCarthy)

It’s Not My Fault!

by Carl E. Van Buren January 9, 2010

For a while now we’ve been hearing “the buck stops with me” from our illustrious President Barack Obama.  He has attempted to become the great Democratic leader of the new century.  Unfortunately, he is unable to force things to go his way.  To date, not a single victory can be added to his tally [...]

Timothy Geithner, another great decision to spend your tax dollars!

by Sandy January 3, 2010

‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse; with the exception of Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner. While visions of sugar-plums danced in his head, Guitner was giving Freddie and Fannie a new blank check! That’s correct, he lifted the ceiling of $200 [...]

Congress or Criminals??

by Carl E. Van Buren January 3, 2010

 
Unless it happens within the next few hours, the health care bill will not be voted into law this week end.   So many our ‘high powered’ politicians had tried so desperately to force a final vote by this time.  For the longest time I kept asking the question, “What is the big hurry?”  In the [...]

Unacceptable!!

by Carl E. Van Buren December 12, 2009

I was born more then 60 years ago, in a time when a man could do pretty much anything if he set his mind to it. I was raised by hard working, middle class Americans that believed strongly in God, country, and family. We were as middle class as we could be, in a time [...]

Global Warming-The Scandal!?

by Carl E. Van Buren December 5, 2009

Global Warming – The Scandal?
I think most of us were stunned, to say the very least, when our illustrious Ex-Vice President Al Gore wound up with a Nobel prize for his global warming nightmare of a movie a few years ago.  I have always had this picture in my mind of the entire worlds mouth [...]

What A Difference Two Hundred Years Makes!

What A Difference Two Hundred Years Makes

“It is natural to man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth — and listen to the song of that siren, till she transforms us into beasts. … For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it might cost, [...]

A news release from the WA state AARP group,  dated November 16, 2009, reports that members across party and ideological lines, support health care reform legislation.
How would you answer this survery?  Can a conclusion from the survey results clearly show that AARP members support AARP’s stand on health care reform?  You can determine for yourself [...]

Pink slips for Congress

by Cayenne November 26, 2009

This is the best thing since our march to Washington on 9/12 as a way to get the message out there and for the media (other than Fox) to tell the truth.

I thought, this is just too simple or a scam but I have been on-line looking at a number of articles on Google,  Ask.com, [...]

Senator Patty Murray, D-WA – Call, don’t write!

by Sandy November 17, 2009

Here is why I suggest you call rather than send email or faxes to your Senators:
That’s the request on the home page of Senator Patty Murray, D-WA.  Is she open to hear your objections about Health Care Reform or to address your concerns? One certainly doesn’t get that impression after visiting her web site. She asks [...]

‘CHANGE it Back – Fire Congress

by Carl E. Van Buren November 14, 2009

As the world knows by now, the House of Representatives, in all their wisdom, have chosen to blatantly ignore the undeniable opposition of the American people, and forced through a 220 – 215 vote in favor of their own vision of health care ‘reform’.

It’s not as if we did not make [...]
