Narrow Thinking Now Producing Fruit

I heard recently president Obama will soon have appointed 5 members to the Fed. There is a good chance he will appoint 3 or 4 justices to the supreme court. He will soon via executive order define certain aspects of the Health Care Plan. Anyone who is unhappy concerning these circumstances can thank Ron Paul, conservative spokes people and radio and TV talking heads who bailed on McCain because he was not conservative enough. We do not have Conservatives in the William Buckley mold. We have complainers. Hopefully they will wake up for the November elections.

Government Bailouts for Everyone

Our president gets a yearly medical checkup. Former presidents' wife goes to the hospital for a few days because she is not feeling well. The rest of us muddle along the best we can. Anyone against guaranteed health care equal to or exceeding what our elected officials provide for themselves should pay for their own and just be quiet. Before a business of any size can pay higher than average salaries, bonuses, dividends on their stock, do any capital expenditures they should be required to pay into a fund for the health care of their employees. Otherwise the taxpayers are subsidizing the business. Talk about bailouts.

Do not be surprised. . .

Concerning vandalism, violence and threats of violence in response to the vote on Health Care.
 
I do not condone violence. I do not condone rape. But women who dress provocatively and put themselves into compromising situations with men who are morally starved should not be surprised when the reaction is something they do not want. They are not asking for it. They do not deserve it but they should not be surprised.
 
Same with our government officials. As we showed in our Revolutionary War the populace will only take so much of government riding roughshod over the people. Check with King George of England to get his reaction to his colony rising up and destroying his army. The officials do not ask for it nor do they deserve it but they should not be overly surprised when they get a reaction they do not want.

Amen!

I have no idea who said it but I will give him or her an Amen!
 
The danger to  America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the presidency. It will be easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to an electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails us. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The republic can survive a Barack Obama. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president."

Jobs

The King of England had a Grooms of the Stool. These were groomsmen paid to thoroughly wipe the King of England's rear and then inspect the stool for signs of illness. While the job seems like a good argument for overthrowing the monarch it was an enviable position in that day. 
Also among the members of his court were Flatulists. They were comedians who pass gas in a musical or otherwise entertaining manner. King Henry II of England kept a flatulist in his court who could supposedly blow out candles with his own wind while tooting musical numbers at the same time. Classy? It was not.

Israel Cannot Help Us

If we want to make fun of, laugh at, make jokes about, insult, embarrass and otherwise mistreat our Vice President and President that is our privilege. When Israel does we should let them go it alone for a while. The only friend we need in the Middle East is Iran. Iran can support us with oil and with an army. Israel cannot help us.
