On the Clinton News Network (CNN) Nancy Pelosi stated that President Bush was a “total failure, losing all credibility with the American people on the economy, on the war, on energy. You name the subject, and we are trying to sweep up after his mess, over and over and over again.”

Pelosi needs to be in an insane asylum, and not in the Senate as Speaker of the House.

The economy is not anymore the fault of Bush than it is the fault of Congress.

Timing would show that the real downturn of the economy started right after the Democrats took control of Congress. But you don’t hear me trumpeting that – since I know the American economy has many issues facing it – and it is not a political party or a person per se.

But then again, I am a rational, analytical, honest person who is not trying to re-infect a bunch of mentally ill liberals with Bush Derangement Syndrome.

The ‘war’ and the ‘energy’ problem is all the fault of the Democrats – and she knows it.

The war would be over now if not for the treasonous behavior of the Democrat Party and their propaganda arm known as the MSPAM (main stream press and media). In the Senate, Democrat Harry Reid proclaimed to the world that “the war was lost.” Talk about aiding and abetting our enemies. Harry wanted the USA home, defeated and humiliated.

After all, he is a Democrat.

Besides, Pelosi should listen to her own presidential candidate. Barack Hussein just announced that ‘the surge has worked better than anyone thought’ – but he still would not have voted for it. Real American there – panning a policy that he just said was successful in defending this country.

So if Pelosi wants to see who the reason American troops are still at risk, she needs to find a mirror.

The energy problem is directly tied to the environmental policies trumpeted by the Democrat Party. Al Gore, the Global Warming Snake Oil Salesman himself stated $5 a gallon gasoline was the goal to force conservation. Barack the Magic Negro said that he wanted $5 a gallon gasoline prices too, “but just not so quickly.”

Truth be told, energy prices greatly affect the American economy. High prices for energy, means a slowed economy. Prices go up and people can’t afford the gas to go to the store in the first place.

Liberals have a mental block of economics. Democrats don’t. They know they are ushering in communism to their mentally challenged voters.

Democrats want Americans to ‘conserve, slow down, back up, don’t consume, don’t live so well, embrace declining standards of living, be happy with less.’

Public education, immigration, Social Security, high taxes, government housing, government loan programs, etc – whatever Democrats touch – fails.

There is one political party that owns misery lock, stock and barrel and it is the Democrat Party – and they are proud of it - as are their mentally ill voters. – Hank Dagny

You want liberalism, socialism and communism…you got it.

Hat tip to The Patriot for the quotes.

“Americans spend more on taxes than they spend on food, clothing and housing combined.” - The Tax Foundation - President Scott Hodge

The Constitution spells out a citizen’s right to his property. Your hard earned money is YOUR property. The Constitution spells out the government’s right to tax. But taking most of your property was clearly not the intent the founding fathers intended. Our nation was founded in order to get out from under the burden of taxes.

“I think sometimes incumbents forget that we’re sent here to reform Washington. We’re not sent here to be co-opted by Washington.” - Newt Gingrich

You were co-opted yourself Newt. But that is a story for another day. Citizens, if you sent your Democrat back to Washington, you deserve every bit of pain you endure. If you sent a Republican and he became a RINO, you have to deal with it. The solution is simple; don’t vote for either of these parties.

If you are a true liberal, be honest and vote communist or socialist. If you are a true conservative, it is way past time to vote Libertarian or Constitution/US Taxpayer Party.

“Instead of averting an impending fiscal crisis, members of Congress are grabbing the spoils to support their own re-election.” - Citizens Against Government Waste - President Tom Schatz

Citizens returning the same crooks back to the taxpayer trough deserve what they get. If ‘grabbing spoils’ got them voted out, it would not be a problem.

I lay the woes of this nation squarely on the lazy citizens. Pure and simple. – Hank Dagny

1. I’m not voting for John McCain. But I do wish to point out the pathetic attempt liberals are making to equate some idiot preacher endorsing McCain to be on par with Barack KKK God-damn America Disown Grandma Hussein Obama having an America hating bigot as a pastor for 20 years – that married him and baptized his children. It is several liberal media blogs and pundits that say an endorsement equals a 20-plus year relationship – not one or two. Pathetic.

This is called a valid comparison by liberals. What sick individuals liberals are. That is why I call liberalism a mental illness.

2. Democrats passed a pork-laden farm bill thru Congress, but sent an incomplete 634-page bill to the White House – which got vetoed anyway. The Republicans swore to over-ride the veto once the Nancy Pelosi led House has a redo to try and get it right. She – in typical woman fashion – puts the blame on the White House for not finding her House error first.

You see my fellow Americans; the Democrats and lame duck Republicans in Congress are literally taking the money from farm lobbyists and running – knowing many will be voted out soon. Pathetic.

Our friend over at The Stiletto report: “If you think voters are ticked off now, wait till they find out they will likely be on the hook for an additional $16 billion in subsidies should prices drop in 2009 from their historic highs this year, reports The Washington Post:”

You Congress-critters are screwing the taxpayers’ right up to the end. But it is the voter’s fault because they send these same two party – single minded career politicians back to the trough. You get the government you deserve. Pure and simple. – Hank Dagny

Also from the Stiletto:

3. Judith Leekin, 63, pleaded guilty to using fake names to adopt 11 disabled children in NYC between 1988 and 1996 to collect $1.68 million in subsidies, reports The Associated Press. After moving to Port St. Lucie, FL, in 1998, she allegedly kept the children handcuffed to their beds with plastic ties, beat them and deprived them of food and medicine. Leekin, who could get up to eight years in prison on federal mail and wire fraud charges for sending NYC officials falsified school report cards to keep the payments coming, will be returned to FL after sentencing in mid-July to face child abuse charges. The adoptees, many of whom have both physical and mental handicaps, now range in age from 16 to 28. Nine have been placed in foster or group homes, and a 10th is living independently FL. The whereabouts of an 11th child are unknown, and police suspect that Leekin may have killed him.

The same government that cannot keep track of 11 disabled, helpless and innocent children is the same government you want to trust with your own health care?

Liberal…please! – Hank Dagny

Using 2006 numbers from the Heritage Foundation. It’s worse now.

Here was the breakdown of how Washington spent your money to the tune of $23,760 - PER HOUSEHOLD!!!

Social Security (unconstitutional) - $7,875
Defense - $5,319
Low income programs (unconstitutional) - $3,579
Interest on federal debt (unconstitutional - *) - $1,930
Federal Employees retirement benefits (unconstitutional) - $870
Education (unconstitutional) - $732
Health research/regulations (unconstitutional) - $671
Community and regional development (unconstitutional) - $456
Highways/mass transit (some of it unconstitutional) - $402
Justice adminstration (some of it unconstitutional) - $363
Unemployment benefits (unconstitutional) - $338
International affairs - $305
Natural resources / environment (unconstitutional) - $287
Agriculture (unconstitutional) - $235
Other (unconstitutional) - $398

* Only because the debt would not be there if it was not for the other unconstitutional spending. The federal can borrow in time of war.

Just adding up the fully unconstitutional parts of the budget comes to $17,371 - or 73% of the federal budget should not be there! Think about that!

Our founding fathers did not build this nation on the socialist and communist premise that our nation supply your;
Retirement
Help for the poor
Pay debt on overspending
Give retirement benefits to civil servants
Pay for children’s educations (remember we are the United “STATES” of America)
Regulate healthcare
Develop communities (remember once again, we are the United “STATES” of America)
Pay citizens not to work
Manage natural resources or the environment
Farm
Or pay for pet projects of elected officials.

The American taxpayer is being fleeced right down to the skin! You have to decide NOW whether you want them to start taking flesh because this is where this is heading. History proves me right.

The Democrats are communists and the Republicans are socialists. It is up to you to vote 3rd party and send these would be dictators home before it is too late. - Hank Dagny

“Like it or not, the pressure to raise your taxes will be enormous in coming years no matter who controls Congress. The amount of money government spends, borrows, and prints simply cannot be sustained.” — Ron Paul

This is why a third party is needed now! The revolution must begin at the ballot box or it will surely move to the street.

“Memo to the GOP in Congress, the White House and the Statehouse: We (the United States) didn’t cut taxes, we didn’t cut tax revenues, we didn’t pass tax relief for the rich; we lowered the tax rate on labor and capital, and that is why the economy and revenues have surged since 2003.” — Jack Kemp

“If Congress fails to make the tax cuts permanent, we’ll actually suffer large tax increases. The economy would shed more than 1 million jobs each year between 2011 and 2014. We’d lose more than $100 billion in economic output per year and suffer slower wage and salary growth and slower savings growth. America simply can’t afford that.” —Ed Feulner

The liberal solution is always to do more of what is not working. The only reason for this is clearly for more control over the citizens. Democrats are traitors – pure and simple.

“The power to tax involves the power to destroy.” — Justice John Marshall

“Government’s view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.” —Ronald Reagan

On the lighter side:
“What is the difference between a taxidermist and a tax collector? The taxidermist takes only your skin.” —Mark Twain

“The income tax has made liars out of more Americans than golf.” — Will Rogers

But back to the serious again:

“Every time we talk about taxes we get around to the idea of ‘from each according to his capacity and to each according to his needs’. That’s socialism. It’s written into the Communist Manifesto. Maybe we ought to see that every person who gets a tax return receives a copy of the Communist Manifesto with it so he can see what’s happening to him.” — T. Coleman Andrews

To prove that Mr. Andrews has nailed it, let’s let the Democrats tell you themselves:

“The blunderbuss demands of the right wing that we downsize all areas of government ignore two hundred years of history—two hundred years of partnerships between business and government that made America the largest and most productive economy in the world.” —Ted Kennedy, (D-Marxachusetts)

‘Partnership between business and government’ is the exact definition of Socialism. Do you GET IT yet, my fellow Americans?

“We don’t have to be afraid of our values. We believe in shared opportunities, shared responsibilities and shared participation in the community.” Bill Clinton, Mr. “Values” himself

Communism is the root word for Community. And if you think the major opponent of the Democrats will save us, think again.

“The Republican Party is now principally moderate, if not liberal [on spending].” —RINO [Republican in name only] Senator Arlen Specter

My job is to get the knowledge out there. It is your job to act on it or lose your freedom. – Hank Dagny

Last month your Democrat Congress said you are not paying enough in taxes. Congress voted to let the Bush tax cuts expire. They do this with full knowledge that tax cuts make the economy grow and put more money in the treasury. But Democrats are not about improving the economy or improving your life. They are about power and control.

Wait until the Democrats win this coming November. If you think your income is yours, you will soon get a lesson on that. The expiration of the Bush tax cuts will affect every taxpayer – all the way down to the $30,000 a year level – the Democrat definition of “the rich”.

Democrats not only voted for tax increases, but also voted against limiting earmarks. Of course as we know, Republicans didn’t limit this cash stealing either.

Socialism and communism is just around the corner, my fellow Americans. I warned you of this 2008 end of our nation all the way back in 2000.

Saying “I told you so” as I go down fighting will not ease my mind. I will be cursing each and every one of you for killing the United States. – Hank Dagny

Lynn from Lima, OH – the home of the communist Dennis Kucinich, Democrat, calls the Rush Limbaugh Show and exposes her liberal mental illness to the largest radio audience in the country.

Lynn: What planet do you live on? Since this president has been in office, I have watched this country unravel like I’ve never seen.

Rush: It’s done just the opposite, Lynn. I hate to break it to you but it’s done just the opposite. Economic growth, the Dow Jones Industrial Average, productivity, wages – have all skyrocketed since the Bush tax cuts. When it was really bad is when Jimmy Carter was president.

Lynn: I’m sorry. We keep losing jobs. Factories are closing. Since he came in office, it started going downhill like a train ready to derail. I’m living here. I don’t know where you are living.

Rush: You want the truth?

Lynn: Sure.

Rush: Bush inherited a minor recession. Then 9/11 hit. That added further economic distress.

Lynn: If a Democrat was in office it never would have happened.

Rush: Lynn, ‘if’ is for children. You can’t go back and re-write history. You can’t say “if Al Gore won, we wouldn’t be in this situation.” I can play that game too. “If we would have had a Democrat in the White House, we would have had two or three more terrorist attacks.”

Lynn: I don’t believe that!

Rush: Well, I’m just doing what you are doing. You are telling me that if a Democrat had won we wouldn’t’ have this economic crisis. We have not had an economic crisis.

Lynn: I don’t know how you can say that. People have lost their jobs, lost their houses, factories closing down. That’s the truth.

Rush: Up until last month, this country had more jobs and more productive jobs than at any other time in the history of this country - up until last month. 96% of the American people are paying their mortgages. The people being foreclosed on are people that never should have been lent money in the first place because they were not qualified.

But Democrats, not wanting to deny them the American Dream, required the lending industry to give them predatory loans.

Lynn: I’m not going to argue with that. I know what is going on. The factories are closing and people have lost their jobs. That is why they are losing their houses.

Rush: You are partially right. Since the Democrats took over, we have lost jobs.

Lynn: You can’t blame the Democrats for that!

Rush: I most certainly can. They are blocking free trade legislation. They are doing everything they can to dispirit the American people. The reason you think what you think is not just because of your life experiences, it’s because the party you vote for is telling you this country is in bad shape – and you want it to be in bad shape. [end]

“We keep losing jobs. Factories are closing.”
“We keep losing jobs. Factories are closing.”
“We keep losing jobs. Factories are closing.”
“We keep losing jobs. Factories are closing.”

Lynn is a liberal broken record. Like a person in a mental institution, she just repeats statements over and over, with no thought required.

Lynn, we didn’t lose jobs. The jobs just changed is all. There are more of them and they are higher paying. You may need to get trained on new skill sets, but the jobs are there.

Except for Michigan, who is 51st in the country due to who is running the state – Democrat governess, two Democrat US Senators, many Democrat mayors in the biggest cities in the state, and RINO’s in the state Congress.

The mental illness of liberalism is on display. Truth all around, but she chooses to ignore it – as do the citizens of Michigan.

It is easier for Lynn to blame someone else (Republicans – as her Democrats have taught her to) for her situation, than to take responsibility for herself. Sounds like the entire population of the city of Detroit.

Lynn lives in a union environment. She wants her overpaid factory job for her and her kids. Get out of high school, get a job at the plant in town, and put in your 30 years paying union dues. End of story – end of life.

That is not how the world is today. Voting for communism offered by the Democrat Party will not return that world back to Lynn. It will bring bread lines, gas lines and killing fields back – as it has in the Soviet Union, Cambodia, Cuba, China and every other nation that has voted Democrat. – Hank Dagny

I’m sitting in my hotel room reading blogs, while I have the television on in the background.

One of those CSI shows comes on and the storyline is about how a city councilman is murdered over an ‘eminent domain’ issue.

Eminent domain, for those of you in Ann Arbor, MI, is a constitutional provision that allows our government to condemn your property – and take it from you at their determined market price – in order to build a needed road, post office, military base, schools, hospitals, reservoirs, etc.

However, in this show – as with the famous Kelo decision in New London, Connecticut – the property was taken in some back door collusion between a ‘greedy’ land developer and crooked judges and city officials, in order to build a hotel on the waterfront.

The actors reading the liberal script quickly made it known to the viewing audience that it was nasty old ‘capitalism’ that was behind this Constitutional abuse.

Well, capitalism is not behind it. Taxes are. Here is where our liberal media is such a subconscious influence on voters, and it is insidious.

The city is stealing their citizen’s homes for more tax revenue. Pure and simple.

It is the mighty liberal desire for more and more money that they did not earn, taken from people earning it. In this instance, they pay half the real value of the property to the citizens, sell it to the developer at a 100% profit minimum, and then collect a higher tax rate pure acre than they did with the citizens living there.

Capitalism (the developer) was simply the tool used by liberals. But liberals are consistent. They blame the tool used (like a gun for instance) for the crime, rather than the real culprit (the criminal).

Liberals are criminals. And people have died over this Constitutional abuse, my fellow Americans. So add these murders to the abortion murders. Wait until Hillary gets in. You will wish you lived in Tibet soon.

Somebody assist a person in Ann Arbor. I just lost them again. – Hank Dagny

“You and I must live within our means, but Washington politicians act as if they have absolutely no responsibility to do something as basic as paying their own way-to make sure they don’t spend more than they have, confident that somebody else will foot the bill when the party ends.” -Rebecca Hagelin

“Our government today is larger than it ever has been in history. Spending has grown more in the past five years than any time since Franklin Roosevelt was in the White House. And our leaders in Washington have created new entitlements for the first time in decades. Lyndon Johnson would be proud.” -Steve Forbes

“Once born, a government program is nearly impossible to kill. That’s mostly because politicians are spending our money and not their own.” -Cal Thomas

“Most liberalism is angst-and guilt-ridden, seeing moral equivalence everywhere.” -Charles Krauthammer

“The economics of tax cuts are really quite simple: Capital is freed for reinvestment in business. Thus, if a business owner is taxed at a lower rate, he has more money for expanding, hiring and buying more equipment and supplies. On the other hand, forced redistribution of business wealth achieves the exact opposite. To see this truism at work, one need look no further than Michigan, whose economy thrived under the tax-cutting policies of three-term Republican governor John Engler, but now ranks dead last in nearly every economic category under tax-happy Democrat Jennifer Granholm.” – The Federalist

“The only thing that can cure poverty is wealth… [Y]ou might think that the left would be as obsessed with the creation of wealth as they are with the redistribution of wealth. But you would be wrong… While the creation of wealth may be more effective for enabling millions of people to rise out of poverty, it provides no special role for the political left, no puffed up importance, no moral superiority, no power for them to wield over others… Things that work for millions of people offer little to the left, and ultimately the left is about the left, not about the people they claim to want to lift out of poverty.” -Thomas Sowell

“Despite claims that the rich get richer and the poor get poorer, poverty is nowhere near the problem it was yesteryear-at least for those who want to work. Talk about the poor getting poorer tugs at the hearts of decent people and squares nicely with the agenda of big government advocates, but it doesn’t square with the facts.” -Walter Williams

This is all economic common sense – which means it has nothing what so ever to do with liberals or their Democrat candidates. – Hank Dagny

California put together a socialized health care package for their state – negotiated by RINO Arnold Shitforbrains-anator and the Democrats in the state Assembly. Unfortunately, it never made it out of a state Senate committee. The plan is officially DOA.

That’s ‘dead on arrival’ for those of you in Ann Arbor, MI.

How could this happen in LA LA land where liberalism is king? Can’t even this bastion of liberalism get it done and show Washington what committed liberals can do when they don’t have those lousy, mean and hateful conservatives blocking the growth of the flower that is modern liberalism/socialism/communism?

For a lousy $15 billion, Californians would have had the dream of free healthcare. How could this be a bad thing? Why didn’t these liberals follow thru? What is the problem in Madame Pelosi’s home state? Is it bad pot? Weak LSD? A cocaine shortage? What is the problem over there?

So what taxes would have gone thru the roof. That never stopped liberals before. I can’t wait to hear the excuse liberals are going to tell the ‘poor’ people in the disenfranchised population in John Edward’s two Americas. Now remember, it is liberals abandoning the sick and weak here.

Democrat Sheila Keel said, “It doesn’t matter if there are all these good things in the bill if there is not sufficient funding to pay for it.”

Keep that sentence in mind when Czarina Hillary and a Democrat Congress pass their FEDERAL SOCIALIZED MEDICINE laws. See unlike California, the federal government can print all the money they need.

Of course citizen’s wealth will be instantly sapped up – while at the same time taxes will go up close to exponentially. But if the states can’t print money, I guess the feds will have to bankrupt it’s citizens.

Liberalism is communism – pure and simple. – Hank Dagny
