Nothing But Blue Skies Ahead

Written By D.

No, the world won’t be singing in perfect harmony. The doves of peace won’t make any more inroads than they have before.

BUT … it will seem that way.

Now that a Liberal Democrat is becoming President, the msm will make it sound as if all our worldly troubles have disappeared.

And these are the times that will try the minds of petty dictators. In their endless quest for msm attention all they had to do to get attention was criticize Bush and blame our Democratic/Capitalistic system for their personal failures and the msm would hang on their every word. Socialist movie stars would flock to their side in support and there was no end to the attentions paid them.

If they think low oil prices are ruining them politically, these petty dictators are about to fall on really hard times. It has already started. The effigy burnings in Iran of the Pres-Elect were not widely reported. Chavez’s paranoid criticism of the Pres-Elect was also not widely reported.
These same dictators were huge supporters of the Pres-Elect during the campaign and were deliriously happy when he was elected. I guess they should have been more careful of what they wished for, because now the msm has a vested interest in running cover for any of their negative or critical comments aimed at the Pres-Elect.

The petty dictators are going to find it much harder to get any public attention when criticizing U.S. policy. They will have to rely on European news outlets to get the story out and let’s face it most Americans don’t read Euro news. So they will remain blissfully ignorant of the latest info coming from the petty dictator information super highway. It is akin to; “If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?” well; “If a petty dictator goes on an anti-American rant and the msm doesn’t print it, does it count?” Heaven only knows what dangerous stunts they will try to pull to feed their U.S. media attention seeking egos.

Suddenly the msm is going to make the world seem like a much more peaceful place. But in reality it will be the same old war weary place with the same divisions and hatreds. The petty dictators will still be spewing their lies and blaming our country for their own failures. The only difference is we just won’t be told about it or the story will be buried on the back pages. And whereas the msm blamed every woe in the world on Bush, now all woes will be directed away from the new administration. Any military action taken by the Pres-Elect will become noble and necessary, free of anti-war protests.

Consider it a “bad news blackout” for the next four years. No famine, No disease, No poverty, No petty dictators, No world tensions, No U.S. bashing, No nuclear threats, No protests, No environmental crisis, No criticism of the U.S. from Socialist movie stars …

Just blue skies ahead in Liberal La La Land.

The “It’s Good For You” Tax

Written By D.

New York Governor Paterson wants to add an 18% tax on non-diet soft drinks. Would you believe he wants to encourage drinking diet soft drinks to help fight obesity? I guess we could call it the obesity prevention tax. I am truly amused that he wants to fight obesity with a tax. But apparently we are now being told by researchers that both non-diet and diet soft drinks are unhealthy and drinking more than one per day can have negative health consequences including obesity. Oops!

So now that all soft drinks are bad for us, I guess Governor Paterson has two choices, tax all soft drinks at 18% or skip the tax altogether. Which do you think he would choose? I think he will ignore the information and just stay on the obesity prevention tax superhighway, just like global warming advocates ignore the fact that the planet is getting cooler.

It is bad enough that forty new taxes are being added to the already overburdened taxpayers of New York without insulting taxpayer intelligence by telling them that a tax is going to help them make a healthy choice which, turns out, isn’t even true. Why not just tell it like it is? Something like, “We are broke, but unwilling to make any cuts in our bloated (as in obese) budget, therefore you suckers (as in taxpayers) will just have to pay more. We don’t intend to sacrifice our pork, so you’ll just have to suffer.”

When politicians tell us they are helping us by hurting us, I’d say be sure to remember them when they run for election or re-election. Bailing out on these “tax and spend liberals gone crazy” at the polls will be the best way to help yourself. People who advocate “behavior modification taxes” need to be sent a message.

By the way, I love Coca-Cola, I drink at least one per day, I’m drinking one right now. I am not obese and I don’t really believe soft drinks cause obesity or other major health problems that a person wouldn’t already be predisposed to genetically. Hmmm … now I’ve gone and done it … I can just hear them tax and spenders thinking now … how about a tax on defective genes? After all, everyone has a few defective genes, what a great source of new revenue.

SILLY LIBERALS, TRICKS ARE FOR KIDS

Written By D

If you have children or helped raise younger siblings, you will understand that toddlers like to push the envelope, especially male toddlers. That is why despite the fact that, when he was a toddler, I told my younger brother NOT TO EVER stick anything in an electrical outlet, he took a kitchen knife and tried to do it anyway. I caught him in time and he is lucky to still be here.

Well, I see Liberals as the toddlers of the political world. They are the group that never grew out of the terrible twos. Conservatives are the parents that have to keep a constant vigilant eye on their behavior to save the Libs and the rest of us from the negative effects of their behavior.

The Libs don’t even bother to disguise their immaturity. They rant and rave, make ugly faces, throw temper tantrums and whine hoping this behavior will win the day. If that doesn’t work they use the “I hate you!” method every parent will recognize. If that doesn’t work, they very often try to get away with whatever they want to do when you aren’t looking. They have shown time and again for the past 90 years that no trick, no matter how dirty, is below them in their efforts to pursue their socialist one world agenda.

The extreme left try to disguise themselves as enlightened intellectuals, but most of the garbage they write (example: “Kill Your Parents”) could have been written in crayon by an angry child. And their bullying can be seen on any playground during recess. I think of all the things they say they want, not unlike children, rebellion is what they crave most.

They push us and test our limits, constantly offering all kinds of off the wall legislation, daring us to try and stop them. Unfortunately, over the years, many Conservative parents have caved into the pressure just to get them off their backs. They have tried to meet them halfway on their crazy schemes and so we are dragged further and further into the lefto abyss. Our skills definitely need an infusion of “just say no” parenting. Parents must always consistently stick to their principles because as with any child given an inch, they’ll try to take a mile.

And while no one in their right mind would allow two year olds to run the country that is what we are about to experience. The Id and the Ego will be in play, but without a Superego to constrain them if they actually achieve a 60 vote majority, the toddlers will be in complete control.

And without enough Conservative parents to stop them, all manner of havoc will break loose. Irresponsible self-gratification will rule the day. (This should keep the folks who hand out Darwin Awards very busy.)

Every parent knows that toddlers should not be given control over their world because they have very little self-control, most aren’t even potty trained. Heaven knows what will become of our country with no one to stop them. We can definitely count on much higher taxes and the new definition of rich will be anybody who has anything worth taking. But I get the creepy feeling taxes are only the tip of their iceberg.

That is why I urge you to be a good Conservative parent and support Saxby Chambliss in his run-off election. We are going to need every Conservative vote in the Senate that we can muster. The toddlers are focusing their time and money on this race big time. You can contribute to his campaign at http://www.saxby.org/

The Left is standing at the electrical outlet with their kitchen knife in hand, and if we don’t try to stop them they won’t be the only ones who end up suffering the consequences of their bad behavior.
