It must be hard to support a candidate you actually want to....uh...how should I say it...castrate!

Rev. Jesse Jackson Caught Obama Bashing!

Oh this is priceless…It looks like the Rev. Jesse Jackson has fell victim to a hot mic. A hot mic is what is referred to in broadcasting as a microphone that is turned on before actually going on the air. It has gotten several people in trouble over the years.

Anyways here we have Jackson sitting in the studio with Reid Tuckson from the United Health Care Group waiting to go on the air when for reasons unknown Jackson feels the urge to tell Tuckson that he wants to cut Barack Obama’s man hood off!

“See Barack, um, talking down to black people on his faith based…I want to cut his n#ts off. Barack, he’s talking down the black people.”
Of course, Jackson is now apologizing every chance he gets, and Obama has accepted his apology, but the damage has been done. More damage to Jackson than Obama.

So why would Jackson say such a ridiculous thing? I am not sure, but a part of me feels it may have something to do with jealousy toward Obama. This whole Obama worship thing is driving him mad. After all he is the supreme civil rights leader, not Obama. He was the one marching with Martin Luther King while Obama was barely out of diapers, and now Obama is stealing the spotlight running for president.

Another reason may be Jackson feels if a black man wins the presidency then he may be out of a job as a civil rights leader. It is kind of hard to make a case for a racist country when a black man is elected to the presidency is it not?

Or maybe Jackson is just a plain nut case. I mean it isn’t the first time he has said something completely off the wall. Here is a list of some other fun quotes from him.

“There is nothing more painful to me…than to walk down the street and hear footsteps and start thinking about robbery, then look around and see somebody white and feel relieved.” (Wow….what happens if a white man says that?)

“Great things happen in small places. Jesus was born in Bethlehem. Jesse Jackson was born in Greenville.” (I guess he had the messiah complex going as well)

“When we’re unemployed, were called lazy; when whites are unemployed it’s called a depression.”

“Capital punishment turns the state into a murderer, but imprisonment turns the state into a gay dungeon master.”

Cleaner Skies Causing Global Warming?

It has been a while since I have posted anything on here to throw at your global warming hippie friends. Well, here you go…

An article from the New Scientist proclaims cleaner skies have not helped reduce rising temperatures, but have actually contributed to at least half of the warming that has occurred in Europe since 1980.

Here is what seems to be going on. The cleaner sky allows more of the sun’s rays to shine through the atmosphere, which causes more warming on earth. In Europe, the temperature has risen one degree Celcius since 1980.

Scientist at the Institute for Atmospheric and Climate Science in Switzerland took aerosol concentrations form six areas in northern Europe and compared them with solar-radiation measurements over the same period. They found aerosol concentrations dropped by up to 60% while solar-radiation rose about 1 watt per square meter.

I guess that means some global warming is man-made after all. Cleaning up the atmosphere causes global warming…. who’d a thunk it!

New Children’s Worship Book about Barack Obama

Isn’t this just grand! A Barack Obama supporter and children’s book author Garen Thomas has wrote a children’s book about Obama. The book entitled Yes We Can: A Biography of Barack Obama is targeted at the 9-12 year old crowd, because it is never to early to teach our kids about the “great one.”

Meghan Cox Gurdon reviewed the book for the Wall Street Journal. She called the book more of a hagiography than a biography. A hagio-what? I wasn’t sure what it meant either so I looked it up. The definition of hagiography would be “the writing and critical study of the lives of the saints.” Well, that makes sense, after all we are talking about the “messiah our lord” Barack Obama.

In her review, Gurdon lays out some shocking revelations of what you will find in the book. For instance, Author Thomas writes: “There has emerged a new leader who seems to be granting Americans a renewed license to dream.” Isn’t that awesome kids! Why thanks to Obama you are now free…free at last to dream again! Apparently, your license to dream had been revoked or suspended…who knew?

Thomas also proclaims in her book of worship that Obama “reminded Americans that what was keeping everyone down was the fact that workers were losing their jobs to people in other countries, because American businesses wanted to pay less for labor. In addition, people running businesses were in the habit of paying themselves a lot, while leaving ordinary Americans behind, scraping to get by.” Later in the children’s book she writes, “All Americans were struggling and worried about their financial futures.”

Now that is some indoctrinating stuff don’t you think? A classic example of wealth envy…it is never to early to teach the children that it is the “big bad evil rich American businessman” keeping everyone else down, because they want to pay themselves a lot and leave ordinary Americans scraping to get by. This is nothing less than an anti-capitalist drive by on your children written by an Obama worshiper.

Has anyone come to think that it is the so-called “big bad evil rich American businessman” providing jobs for the so-called “ordinary Americans.” How many jobs has the government taxed out of America and forced the businessman to send overseas because it is no longer cost effective to hire the American worker?

How many of you ever got a job from a poor man? Anyone?

Anyways, now that I think about it, this is a great idea to write a children’s book about Obama. Now the majority of his worshipers and cult followers have a book they can actually read and understand.

No Room for Your Flat Screen in a Green World.

Oh my…looks like all you global warming freaks out there are going to have to give up your flat screen TVs. It turns out your flat screen TV is contributing to global warming because of a greenhouse gas used in its production. The green house gas called nitrogen trifluoride is said to be 17,000 times more potent than carbon dioxide and stays in the atmosphere for 550 years.

Oh and this green house gas is not restricted or limited by the Kyoto protocol or other similar agreements. I am sure it will not take long for government to put restrictions on this new pollutant. Which will mean one of two things for flat screen TVs. They will either stop making them or they will cost so much most people will not be able to afford them.

Beachwood, Ohio has cancelled a youth all star baseball game, because they didn’t want to elevate any kids above other kids. It bruises the other kid’s egos… Yep, achievement is bad, working hard to improve yourself and to become better than your peers that is mean spirited. The wussification of America continues.
Here is an interesting read. The bio-fuel production has put more than 30 million people into poverty.
This may be the first time I have ever agreed with Jay Bookman on anything. He says nationalizing the oil industry would not be good for America. Bookman is a liberal columnist for the AJC that I read frequently by the way.
People in North Dakota are becoming rich, because they are finding oil in their backyards. I will make sure to alert Barack Obama so he can tax them and give it to the less fortunate.
Some folks are upset the government is garnishing money out of their stimulus checks to pay outstanding debts.
The royal family in the UK is really concerned about their carbon footprint. So Prince Charles has a car that runs on wine.
Barack Obama has won the endorsement of the National Education Association. I know…I was shocked too. OK maybe not.

The Big T Pic of the Day

Something tells me we are at the wrong end of the rainbow!

He stole from the rich, to give to the poor.

No, I am not talking about Robin Hood. I am talking about Barack Obama and his tax policies. His tax policies will do just that, steal from the rich and give to the poor.

Now here is something you won’t find in the mainstream media. First off, they don’t want you to know and secondly, tax discussion just doesn’t bring in the ratings. The Tax Foundation has run some hard numbers on Barack Obama’s tax plan. Scott Hodge, president of the Tax Foundation, explains Obama’s tax plan for 2009 calls for the redistribution of more than 131 billion dollars from the top one percent of taxpayers. That will mean the top one percent of households would pay more in federal taxes of all kinds than the bottom 80 percent of households. This doesn’t even take into account the Obama plan to raise payroll taxes on those evil rich folks making over 250,000 bucks a year.

Anyways, Hodge estimates under the Obama plan 1.13 million Americans will pay more in federal taxes than 128 million other Americans combined. In other words, Obama’s plan increases the tax burden on top earners by an additional $40 billion a year. This 40 billion-tax hike is twice as much as all the federal taxes that are paid by the bottom percentile of taxpayers.

What we have here is income redistribution. He is stealing from the rich to give to the poor, a real modern day Robin Hood. I doubt Obama sees it that way though, after all he believes that income isn’t earned in the first place; it is acquired on the basis of luck and good fortune.

Here is just a thought… Is there anyone out there that thinks our economy can take a 40 billion dollar hit right now? What happens when the top gets nailed for 40 billion in more taxes? Do they not pass the expense on to the consumer? Perhaps you work for someone about to get hit with this new expense. Is your job going to pay for it, or will it be cut to make up for the difference. It is just a thought some of you may want to consider?

Ugh…you can always count on government to slow down progress.

In case you have not realized it yet, we are in the midst of a major energy crisis in this country. Now, some of you believe the solution to this crisis will come from the oh so wonderful government. You are wrong. The solution, as almost always, will come from the private sector. All the government has to do is get out of the way.

However, that is not happening. Solar thermal energy companies are getting a lesson in government regulations. These companies have proposed to build more than 130 solar power plants over 119 million surface acres of federally administered land in sun drenched, flat desert tracts of Arizona, Nevada and Southern California that is ideal for solar energy. These companies extract energy from the sun and then sell that energy to utility companies. It is estimated the projects have the potential to power 20 million homes, but the government has put a halt on new solar projects on public lands in order to study their environmental impact, which is estimated to take two years.

Solar energy is a fairly new industry, and most of these companies are new, struggling, hungry companies. It will be hard for them to stay afloat with a set back like this. This could stunt the growth of the energy.

This is your government at work solving the energy crisis. You can always count on government to slow down progress.

I want you to remember this story this winter when your power bills are through the roof.
