“Every time that we try to lift a problem from our own shoulders, and shift that problem to the hands of the government, to the same extent we are sacrificing the liberties of our people.” –John F. Kennedy

Odds and Ends XXVIII
October 15th, 2008 — Current Affairs, Democrats, Government, Humor, Liberal Media, Liberals, Quotable Quotes, Saving Our Nation
1. Ironic isn’t it? Poor John Edwards. Thrown under the bus by the Democrat Party for lesser crimes than the celebrated Bill Clinton.
2. It may be sick, perverted, unscrupulous, unethical and wrong what the MSPAM (main stream press and media) is doing for this election cycle, but at least everyone knows now that they are just a Democrat propaganda group. At least the facade is over.
3. The MSPAM gave us these two political hacks for the Dems and Repubs to run for president. Most voters were too stupid to realize they were being manipulated. But the fruits of the liberals running our school systems for decades is now being harvested. An ignorant voter is a Democrat voter - pure and simple.
4. Final word on the mortgage crisis; The Democrats built it. The Democrats ran it. The Democrats profited from it. The Democrats took the campaign donations from it. The Democrats blocked investigations into it. The Republicans didn’t fight to stop it. The Republicans didn’t tell the American people what was going on. The Democrats and Republicans sent the American taxpayer, pensioner and wage earner down the river to bail out their rich contributors - and they didn’t get rid of the groups or people that started the entire mess. And neither will the voters.
Now look me in the eye and tell me this nation is not finished as a free republic.
5. You may have noticed that I am not posting as often as I used to. I have been busy - very busy, but that has usually been the case. So I can’t use it as an excuse. I think this story explains my lack of desire to continue this labor of love for country;
A reporter hears of an old man who appears at the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem every day, twice a day, to pray. He goes there and indeed finds the old man. He asks the man, “How long have you been coming here to do this?”
The old man says, “For 50 years.”
The reporter says, “What do you pray for?”
The old man replies, “For world peace and that everyone’s children can grow up in safety and peace.”
The reporter says, “How do you feel?”
The old man shakes his head and replies, “Like I am talking to a wall.”
That’s it in a nutshell. Most of the citizens of this country don’t want freedom. They want the government mommy. As the Chinese proverb goes, “Nations rise in work boots and die in slippers.” - Hank Dagny
Liberalism Will Snuff Out the Last Hope For the World
May 12th, 2008 — Constitution, Editorial Responses, Liberals, Quotable Quotes, Race Relations, Religion, Saving Our Nation
The Reverend Jeremiah Wright gave a speech at the National Press Club. Here is part of that exchange with that group:
“We are a nation forever damned by a history of slavery, deserving of terrorist attacks because we have done terrorism the world over.
We are a nation that continues to oppress minorities and neglect the health and welfare of the poor and the weak, while fighting unjust wars sparked by lies.”
How many in the Democrat Party (and liberals blogging or meeting to drink in Ann Arbor, MI.), actually disagree with him? Try very few.
Barack Hussein Obama finally “disowns’ the Reverend Wright’s comments, when it became a political necessity. Meanwhile, Barack’s wife Michelle, continues to mimic Wright’s opinion.
The point here is Barack Hussein Obama’s back-pedaling is something most liberals are cringing at. But, as good liberals, they know liberalism’s pure opinions and ideals must be hidden in order to win elections. Obama’s lying, like Clinton’s before him – will be ignored for the sake of liberalism.
Reverend Wright and the rest of the America hating left ignore the fact that our nation was founded by people overthrowing the tyranny of a monarchy, in order to insure the rights of citizens. These rights are bestowed by God and not granted by any human ruler.
And this nation Reverend Wright says can never be washed of the sin of slavery, fought its own Civil War to end slavery within our borders.
Since our founding as a nation, we as a nation have sacrificed the lives of our citizens so that others around the world could be free from Nazis, Communists and now Islamic-fascism.
No other nation in the history of the world has spent more, in money and in human life, in order for other people to have a chance to live in peace.
We are the greatest nation the world has ever seen. If you want the only hope for the world to be snuffed out, then vote Democrat.
Liberals are nothing but weak, mentally unstable people, and their leaders in the Democrat Party are power-hungry communists – and nothing more. Vote for them at everyone in the world’s peril. – Hank Dagny
You Don’t Need A Weatherman to Know Which Candidate Blows
April 24th, 2008 — Democrats, Editorial Responses, Liberals, Quotable Quotes, The Clinton's
Guest blogger - Ann Coulter
“The key problem for Hillary’s campaign is that normal people reel back in horror at her association with the Clinton administration. Which is why, as her supporter, I refer to her as simply “Hillary.”
If Hillary could run exclusively on her record since becoming a senator from New York, she’d be a relatively moderate Democrat who hates the loony left — as we found out this week when a tape of Hillary denouncing Moveon.org surfaced. Think Joe Biden in a pantsuit.
But because of her unfortunate marriage, Hillary comes with a cast of undesirables like James Carville, Paul Begala, Terry McAuliffe, Joe Conason — and of course Bill Clinton, along with his trusted impeachment manager Larry Flynt. Buy one, get the entire dirt-bag collection free!
No one wants those people back.
Even semi-respectable Democrats look sleazy by their association with the Clintons. No serious Democrat defended Clinton over his “presidential kneepads” incident with Monica Lewinsky.
So repellent are Bill Clinton’s friends (to the extent that a sociopathic sex offender with a narcissistic disorder can actually experience friendship in the conventional sense) that B. Hussein Obama’s association with a raving racist reverend and a former member of the Weather Underground hasn’t caused as much damage as it should.
On one hand, Obama pals around with terrorists. On the other hand, Hillary pals around with James Carville. Advantage: Obama.
Asked why he would be friends with the likes of Weatherman Bill Ayers, Obama said: “The notion that … me knowing somebody who engaged in detestable acts 40 years ago, when I was 8 years old, somehow reflects on me and my values doesn’t make much sense.”
That’s a slick answer — even “Clintonian”! — but the problem is, Ayers and his Weatherman wife, Bernadine Dohrn, won’t stop boasting about their days as Weathermen.
It’s not simply that they haven’t repented. To the contrary, those were their glory days! And Ayers isn’t just someone who lives in the neighborhood: He and Dohrn were there at the inception of Obama’s political career, hosting a fundraiser for Obama at their home back in 1995.
Besides wanton violence, including a dozen bombings of buildings such as the Pentagon, the U.S. Capitol, historic statues and various police stations, the Weathermen’s “revolutionary” activity consisted primarily of using the word “motherf—–” a lot, dropping LSD, coming up with cutesy phrases — like “the Weather Underground” — and competing over who could make the most offensive statements in public. (I also believe Dohrn may have set the North American record for longest stretch without bathing.)
At one rally, Dohrn famously praised the Manson family for murdering Sharon Tate and others, shouting: “Dig it. First they killed those pigs, then they ate dinner in the same room with them. They even shoved a fork into a victim’s stomach! Wild!”
In a better country, just saying “Dig it!” in public would get you 20 years in the slammer.
Dohrn has recently tried to clarify her Manson remarks by saying it was some sort of “statement” about violence in society and, furthermore, that she said it while under sniper fire in Bosnia. Also recently, the members of the Manson family have distanced themselves from Ayers and Dohrn.
At other rallies, Dohrn said, “Bring the revolution home, kill your parents — that’s where it’s at.”
After a Chicago Democratic official, Richard Elrod, became paralyzed while fighting with a privileged looter during the Weathermen’s “Days of Rage,” Dohrn led the Weathermen in a song sung to the tune of Bob Dylan’s “Lay Lady Lay”:
Lay, Elrod, lay,
Lay in the street for a while
Stay, Elrod, stay
Stay in your bed for a while
You thought you could stop the Weatherman
But up-front people put you on your can,
Stay, Elrod, stay
Stay in your iron lung,
Play, Elrod, play
Play with your toes for a while
Only because of a merciful God is the author of that ditty, Ted Gold, not teaching at Northwestern or the University of Illinois now, alongside Dohrn or Ayers. That’s because Gold is no longer with us, having accidentally blown himself up with a bomb intended for a dance at Fort Dix for new recruits and their dates.
While trying to assemble the bomb at an elegant Greenwich Village townhouse that belonged to one of the revolutionaries’ fathers, the bungling Weathermen blew up the entire townhouse, killing Gold and two other butterfingered revolutionaries. Leave it to these nincompoops to turn their glorious Marxist revolution into an “I Love Lucy” sketch.
So in addition to being stupid and violent, the Weathermen were also incompetent terrorists. Would that Timothy McVeigh had been so inept!
If he had only said he bombed the building in Oklahoma City to protest American “imperialism,” McVeigh, too, could be teaching at Northwestern University, sitting on a board with and holding fundraisers for presidential candidate B. Hussein Obama.”
Liberals Muck Up Everything
April 20th, 2008 — Democrats, Government, Liberals, Quotable Quotes, Saving Our Nation
“Money is power, more money for the government is more power for the government. More power for the government will allow it to, among many other things, amuse itself by putting its fingers in a million pies, and stop performing its essential functions well, and get dizzily distracted by nonessentials, and muck up everything. Which is more or less where we are.” —Peggy Noonan
This is the fact liberals deny. They think they are smart enough to make communism work ‘this time.’
This is the truth liberals ignore. They are the chosen ones – the smartest that have ever lived.
The arrogance of liberals thinking they know what is best for everyone at all times.
If you vote Democrat, you ARE the problem – not the solution. – Hank Dagny
Social Security is a Democrat Failure – From Start to Its Soon Finish
April 6th, 2008 — Democrats, Liberals, Quotable Quotes, Social Security
Franklin Roosevelt, a Democrat, and our first pure socialist president, introduced the Social Security (FICA- Federal Insurance Contributions Act) Program. He promised in this proposal that:
1.) That participation in the Program would be completely voluntary
2.) That the participants would only have to pay 1% of the first $1,400 of their annual
incomes into the Program,
3.) That the money the participants elected to put into the Program would be deductible from their income for tax purposes each year,
4.) That the money the participants put into the independent ‘Trust Fund’ rather than into the General operating fund, and therefore, would only be used to fund the Social Security Retirement Program, and no other Government program, and,
5.) That the annuity payments to the retirees would never be taxed as income
Those that have paid into FICA for years and have reached the ever increasing age limit to collect, are now receiving a Social Security check every month - and then finding that we are getting taxed on 85% of the money we paid to the Federal government to ‘put away’.
So the government takes your money – for your own good – then taxes you on your own money when they give it back to you.
And we put up with that.
You may be interested in the following:
Q: Which Political Party took Social Security from the independent ‘Trust Fund’ and put it into the General fund so that Congress could spend it?
A: It was Lyndon Johnson and the democratically controlled House and Senate. He used the money for the Viet Nam War and for his socialist program called the Great Society.
The facts are there folks – Democrats are socialists and communists. You vote for them, then you are too.
Q: Which Political Party eliminated the income tax deduction for Social Security (FICA) withholding?
A: The Democratic Party.
Q: Which Political Party started taxing Social Security annuities?
A: The Democratic Party, with Al Gore casting the ‘tie-breaking’ deciding vote as President of the Senate, while he was Vice President of the US.
Q: Which Political Party decided to start giving annuity payments to immigrants?
A: Jimmy Carter, Democrat, and the Democratic Party of course! Immigrants moved into this country, and at age 65, began to receive Social Security payments! The Democratic Party gave these payments to them, even though they never paid a dime into it!
To be fair, I don’t hear Republicans taking up the fight to ‘fix’ this mess. Bush 43 gave his usual ‘half effort’ to fix it - as he did towards everything during his presidency – but gave up.
Now why are the citizens unable to rise up and throw out these incumbents who are stealing citizen’s money? Because we have useful idiots and fellow communists like Floyd Johnson of Peoria, AZ. This plan is so communist, the Boston Globe had to print it as brilliant!:
“THERE IS an obvious way to save Social Security and Medicare, if a political leader has the courage to try. Let’s go back to the original intent of Social Security — to provide help to those who need help in their old age.
Here’s an obvious solution:
Currently FICA payroll taxes are collected on the first $87,900 of earnings. Let’s eliminate the ceiling. Let’s make all earned income (no matter how great) subject to the 6.2 percent Social Security tax rate.
This would be consistent with FDR’s original intention — that those who “have,” help those who “have not.” (This change would have no impact on the “working poor” or the lower middle class — their total FICA payroll taxes would remain the same.)
Let’s require a means test for receiving both Social Security and Medicare benefits.
Anyone with a net income after retirement greater than $300,000 annually from any and all sources (including pensions, dividends, and annuities) would not be eligible to receive Social Security and/or Medicare benefits.”
Floyd is a communist masquerading as an American citizen. Floyd is no more American than Josef Stalin, Karl Marx, Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton.
What today’s Democrats – like the ones of the past – are advocating is pure socialism and communism. Unless citizens wake up – we will get it very soon. – Hank Dagny
Democrats Lived by the Clintons and Hopefully Will Die By the Clintons
April 5th, 2008 — Current Affairs, Democrats, Liberals, Quotable Quotes, The Clinton's
If it happens, suicide will not be painless for the Democrats.
Samantha Powers, Barack Hussein KKK USA G-D America Obama’s foreign policy Advisor was fired because she did something in a political campaign she was not supposed to do. That thing is to tell the truth – on or off the record.
She told a reporter ‘off the record’ that Hillary “was a monster who would stop at nothing to win the nomination. She also indicated that Barack KKK GD America Hussein Obama would not order an immediate withdraw from Iraq if elected. [Ed. Note: Add these to the lies told to the kook left wing fringe that he would pull the United States out of NAFTA. Notice only liberals fail to realize they are lied to by Democrats also.]
Hillary Spokesman Howard Wolfson was not asked to resign after comparing Barack Hussein KKK USA G-D America Obama to Ken Starr because Hussein asked that Hillary release her tax returns.
Democrat Bill Bradley asked that the Clintons reveal who donated to the Clinton Library. He wants to know if there were favors attached to the donations, like pardons, investigations squelched, contracts given or regulations that are delayed.
Bradley also accused the Clintons of lying to win the nomination. [Ed Note: This is considered a new trait the Clintons just developed by the left wing media and Democrat voters. Amazing isn’t it?] He said, “The bigger they lie the better the chance they think they’ve got.”
I can’t wait until the Democrat Convention in Denver. I hope the liberals act like liberals and burn the city to the ground. This country needs to be reminded what sick, mentally ill individuals liberals truly are. – Hank Dagny
Hat tip to Rush Limbaugh for the quotes.
More Proof Liberalism is a Mental Illness
March 3rd, 2008 — Democrats, Liberals, Quotable Quotes, Saving Our Nation
How do senior citizens vote for liberals when they lead their lives as conservatives?
How can the generation that taught fiscal responsibility vote for tax and spend liberals?
How the generation of self-reliance can support liberals, who believe in hand outs and entitlements?
How can those who lived through World War II and the Cold War vote for kook fringe whackos who ignore the threat of Islamic Fascism?
According to findings published in the annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, researchers say that some seasoned citizens may be more susceptible to fraud due to changes in the brain affecting judgment and decision making.
Natalie Denburg, University of Iowa says, “The new research may help identify those at risk of being deceived.” Hat tip for the info to Rush Limbaugh
I’ve got news for Natalie. All she has to do is get the list of registered Democrats and she will find every easily deceived people - and they vote! That is the sad part.
Democrats better hope a cure is not found. It would eliminate their entire voting block. – Hank Dagny
Capitalism is a Liberal’s Mortal Enemy
March 3rd, 2008 — Back To Basics, Capitalism, Democrats, Education System, Government, Liberal Media, Liberals, Quotable Quotes
The title explains it all. Of course our freedoms and capitalist system built us to the status of the lone super power in the world. Who is actively trying to throw us from that perch? Why it is radical Islam, communists and our own home-grown liberals.
From the section of Capitalism in my book ‘Liberal Quicksand’.
“We must begin to celebrate collective entrepreneurship.” - Robert Reich, Democrat, Labor Secretary for Bill Clinton
“Capitalism has destroyed our belief in any effective power but that of self-interest backed by force.” - Karl Marx, the father of Communism
Democrats - liberals always agree with Karl Marx.
The concept of capitalism should not take very long to explain. Every real American knows it by instinct. Those in Ann Arbor, Michigan - well the concept may never sink in.
Name some of the best values you can get for your spending dollar. List the products and services you are most happy with in your life. Here’s my list;
Computers
Clothing
Automobiles
Food Choices
Restaurants
Sporting Goods
I’m sure some of yours are in that list too. Now name the products and services you are the most unhappy with. Here’s mine;
Postal Service
Education System
Government Taxpayer Services
Crime Prevention - Rehabilitation
Main Stream Press and Media
Tax System
Which list of items operate - more or less - under a free market system with cut-throat capitalistic competition and which are under government or liberal control - or both?
Capitalism breeds progress. The quest for profit creates the desire to serve others. People don’t build a better mousetrap because they love people and hate mice. They do it for their own self interest of profit- which in turn serves their fellow man well. Very well. This truth is lost on liberals.
When there is no profit incentive to do good work, all you get is failure or at best - mediocrity. Did you notice too that liberals flock to the jobs where performance is not really a requirement?
Know why? Well it is the same reason they want the government nanny state - they lack the self confidence to believe they can ultimately take care of themselves or have no desire to do so. - Hank Dagny
First Rule For Picking a Candidate: If You Want the Job, You Can’t Have It
February 21st, 2008 — Current Affairs, Quotable Quotes, Saving Our Nation
Ann Coulter proves my motto for how to not only get the best people in office, but stop the insanity at the same time. The MSPAM (main stream press and media) that Rush claims is dying, is picking our frickin’ choices! And - even liberals - let’s face it – the choices thrust upon us for president this time are …(I’ll be kind)…weak.
I’ll let Ann take it from here. I’m busy working and paying taxes today. – Hank Dagny
“Inasmuch as the current presidential election has come down to a choice among hemlock, self-immolation or the traditional gun in the mouth, now is the time for patriotic Americans to review what went wrong and to start planning for 2012.
How did we end up with the mainstream media picking the Republican candidate for president?
It isn’t the early primaries, it isn’t that we allow Democrats to vote in many of our primaries, and it isn’t that the voters are stupid. All of that was true or partially true in 1980 — and we still got Ronald Reagan.
We didn’t get Ronald Reagan this year not just because there’s never going to be another Reagan. We will never again get another Reagan because Reagan wouldn’t run for office under the current campaign-finance regime.”
The rest of the article can be found at Human Events. Thanks again, Ann.
