“Injustice is telling people that they must wait to see what their rulers decide is fair.”
–John Stossel
Clearly, they've made enough money. Their hero Hugo Chavez compelled folks like them to pay their fair share. Our communist-in-chief Baracrook Hugochavezian Ødespot should use his pen and his øbamafone to sign executive orders and take executive actions and administrative actions that move the ball forward in helping to make sure all his fellow fascists here pay theirs also.
Then our society will be as socialistically just as the one their hero built!
A year and a half ago, Venezuelan government used the military to seize control of Daka, one of the country's largest retailers, in order to force the chain to charge "fair" prices. Punish those rich, greedy store-owners!
Surprise! That didn’t work. The chain is now collapsing as looters take what they want.
Socialists say capitalists just want to make a quick buck, but it's government that can't plan for the long haul.
Instead of thinking in terms of returns on investment and sustainable business models, socialists think only of today: They see people who need stuff and stores full of stuff. Take the stuff and give it to people, and then tomorrow — well, those capitalists will always bring in more stuff, I guess.
While "good" at starting fires and burning everything down to the ground, Baracklutz Harebrain Øblewit and his whole extremarxist Dumbøcomrade Party freak show couldn't put out a match if every one of them had his/her/other own fire service.
First they "promised" to "cut the deficit in half."
Except BØnehead the Blunderer-n-Thief hasn't — not even close — and instead has racked up more debt than any previous president since the founding of this country. In terms of outstanding debt, he's added more of it than all 43 of them combined. In one year alone he issued as much new debt as all the other governments of the world combined.
That's not what you do when you "want to give something back."
Øbraindead's plan "worked," all right. Worked at putting tons of us out of work.
They also lied about all the jobs they would "create or save."
Also, yes Øblockhead did build that average 9 percent unemployment he's inflicted on all of us throughout his soon to be expiring one term. When President Bush had the keys, it averaged 5 percent. Moreover, if you've looked for a job since Øblamesomebodyelse took office, you should always be struck by the fact that he reduced your chance of finding one by two-thirds. His plan worked!
As if that wasn't bad enough, our Jobskiller-in-Chief has made it absolutely clear he hadn't spent even one nanosecond "thinking" about the record number of Americans who've been out of work for more than six months. Or the record number of households that have at least one member looking for a job. Or any of the eight millions workers who dropped out of the labor market and still has no hope of getting a job. Or even the number of part-time workers. Because if he had, he'd have to confess our real unemployment rate is 15 percent.
It's the Øbreakdown of the great American jobs machine. Instead of doing anything yes he can to help rebuild it, he's purposefully done everything yes he could to break it down. And, no, he can't say somebody else made that happen.
So it is all Big Øbamistake's fault that fewer Americans are working today than in the year 2000. Which is quite an "accomplishment" when you consider there were 31 million less Americans back then and 11.4 million less workers in our labor force.
The only real question left is who would want to let Øfelon keep his job when so many of us have lost ours?
“It’s a fact. Since President Obama has been in the Oval Office, you’ve seen a 41 percent increase in the food stamp recipients in the United States of America. We have a president that’s making more American victims rather than victors. “We also have a 16 percent increase in Americans on the poverty roll — 6.4 million more Americans are on poverty since President Obama took office.”
Move over, Herbert Hoover. We've finally found someone as awful asworse than you.
[T]he U.S. has seen the longest period of high unemployment since the Great Depression, the Congressional Budget Office noted in a report issued today.… [in which it] is still predicting that unemployment will remain above 8 percent until 2014. The report also notes that, including those who haven’t sought work in the past four weeks and those who are working part-time but seeking full-time employment, the unemployment rate would be 15 percent.… The report came at the request of Democratic Michigan Rep. Sander Levin.…
“The stimulus is a stark reminder of how the president got the policies he wanted, and how those policies [of Baracrook Øfascist’s] have failed the American people and are making things worse,” said Texas Republican Rep. Jeb Hensarling.
President Obama will get the blame and it will hurt him with the American people in the next election.
This 30-second ad takes less than 30 seconds to create. A picture of the president hanging out with his Democratic colleagues fades in and then out. A screenshot fades in: "The first president to ever lose America's triple-A credit rating. Had enough?"
Today, over 4 years since the recession started, there are still almost 25 million Americans unemployed or underemployed. That includes 5.6 million who are long-term unemployed for 27 weeks, or more than 6 months. Under President Obama, America has suffered the longest period with so many in such long-term unemployment since the Great Depression.
Notably, blacks have been suffering another depression under Obama, with unemployment today, 49 months after the recession started, still at 15.8%. Black unemployment has been over 15% for 2 ½ years under Obama. Black teenage unemployment today is over 40%, where it has persisted for over 2 years as well.
Hispanics have also been suffering a depression under Obama, with unemployment today still in double digits at 11%. Hispanic unemployment has been in double digits for three years under President Obama. Over one fourth of Hispanic youths remain unemployed today, which also has persisted for years.
The Census Bureau reported in September that more Americans are in poverty today than at any time in the entire history of Census tracking poverty. Americans dependent on food stamps are at an all time high as well.
Real wages and incomes have been falling so steadily under Obama and his confused, throwback, Keynesian/neo-Marxist Obamanomics, that the Census Bureau also reported that real median family income in America has fallen all the way back to 1996 levels.
Obama apologists cannot argue that this is because the recession was so bad, because the historical record in America is the worse the recession the stronger the recovery. Based on historical precedent, we should at worst be finishing the second year of a booming recovery by now.
Chronic unemployment highest since Great Depression
"They're saying there are more jobs. I'm just wondering where those jobs are," [Fabian] Lambrecht said.
About 6.2 million Americans, 45.1 percent of all unemployed workers in this country, have been jobless for more than six months — at its highest since the Great Depression.
Worst. President. Since the Great Depression Ever.
CAIRO – Muslim clerics said today that Osama bin Laden's burial at sea was a violation of Islamic tradition that may further provoke militant calls for revenge attacks against American targets....
[A] wide range of Islamic scholars interpreted it as a humiliating disregard for the standard Muslim practice of placing the body in a grave with the head pointed toward the holy city of Mecca.
Sea burials can be allowed, they said, but only in special cases where the death occurred aboard a ship.
"The Americans want to humiliate Muslims through this burial, and I don't think this is in the interest of the U.S. administration," said Omar Bakri Mohammed, a radical cleric in Lebanon.

ozock HusStalin Øfascist's repeated bungling is making our country less and less and less safe.
But not to worry. The Golfer-in-Chief™ is going on another vacation — his 135th... this year.
No doubt, as he does, he won't forget to fill up each of his 8-MPG limousines with all that petroleum imported from Brazil. After all, he wants us to be one of its oil producers' "best customers."
He let himself be clear that he doesn't care that a majority of working-age Americans don't have full-time jobs. Or the housing market is still in the tank. Or GDP "growth" is that in name only.
He's bailed out his Big Union buddies and campaign contributors. Did it with your money.
"Present"dink Øbungler gave you the shaft a $7.69/week "tax cut"! What more do you want? He says you should be thanking him.
Besides, when he talked about "shovel ready projects" he really meant all the bureaucrats and other government "workers" across the country whose paychecks he felt needed "stimulus" and whose "jobs" he wanted to "create or save." That's so, in return, they'd be thanking him and his national socialist party with their contributions and votes. (Google "bribe" for more information.) Yes, Øfascist did that, too, with your money.
At least he's started a third quagmire war.
Certainly another thing he thinks feels you should be thanking him for.
As millions of Americans rush to meet the deadline for filing their income taxes, it should be remembered that there are elected officials within the federal government who believe it is their job to redistribute our nation's wealth. After countless hard-earned taxpayer dollars were wasted on a host of failed economic programs and pork projects, for example, President Obama still has the audacity to come back and demand our nation's producers pay even more in taxes to feed the beast that is the federal government. He does this rather than get truly into the spirit of cutting reckless spending and rooting out waste, fraud and abuse within our government.
While President Obama and his allies want the middle-class and especially those they consider to be wealthy to dig ever deeper to subsidize the Obama agenda, they appear adamant that the government should not share in the same sacrifice. Even though it would seem that the President's big-spending policies of the past two years did nothing but extend America'sComrade ZerØ's Great Recession, they want hard-working Americans to pay more. Even though this agenda exploded the federal deficit to the point it now necessitates that Congress consider raising the debt ceiling to borrow perhaps trillions more — something Obama was opposed to as senator — liberals seem absolutely unwilling to embrace a policy of austerity.
In calling for higher taxes and not bringing fairness to the tax code, President Obama is doing little more than punishing the nation's producers for their success.
That's because only Biggest.Gøvernment.Ever. fat cats like His ZerØness should ever be successful or have any power. They can't if they're required to actually sacrifice anything.
Besides, what gives any of us the right to "unfairly" get more than According To His Need™? or pay less than According To His Ability™?
Just let them always decide for you what your need and ability may be andbequiet! They think feel that you — never they — are to blame, anyway, and "don't want you to do a lot of talking." Certainly not raise untoward questions like where specifically in our constitution does the Øfascist Regime find the authority to take over our livelihoods and our lives? I mean, "Are you serious?"
So what that, even if His $orØ$nesstaxes takes every "millionaire and billionaire" for all they're worth, it still wouldn't cover just the increase of debt Comrade ZerØ imposed on all of us. That just means Herr Øfascist will have to take from them all more than what they're worth!
hy the Rush to War®? How long was Diplomacy™ tried? Was any tried at all?
Libya never attacked us. Then why is Øbawarmonger attacking it? How many thousands of innocent civilians is he murdering? Does this mean he's finally earned his "Peace" Prize™?
Why is Øbawarmonger involving us in Libya's the Great Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya's civil war? What does he hope to change by escalating their internal conflict?
Isn't he merely doing the bidding of Iran's dictatorship?
Take a bow, Øbawarmonger.
Just make sure it's in the direction of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
he Regime here, meanwhile, originally meant to spend $4 Trillion or so next fiscal year, but changed its "mind" and decided to spend instead $3.7 Trillion or so. In Libtardland™ and in the Øpharaoh communistration(birm), that's a spending "cut."
Following his unscrupulously baddangerously irresponsible "progressive" example, I'm using the same Mount Everest of Debt® accounting trick method to insidiously enhance my own financial planning:
I was going to spend $3 million next year to buy a 200-foot yacht, although I can really only afford a secondhand leaky rowboat. That's why I'm going to buy a 199-foot yacht instead, for only $2.9 million. Then I'm going to brag about how I "saved" $100,000! — right before I land that high-ranking "job" in the Øpharaoh budget office.
Let me be clear! Change we need! A positive step! Yes we can!
ne in ten out of work not enough? Then let's go for one in five.
Brilliant plan!
Who needs jobs anyway?
Lame quack Duhmøcrat Schizoid of the House Ninny Peloser's genius economic theory is that the more people out of work, the more unemployment checks the government will be handing out. The more money the government borrows and/or prints to cover those checks, she sputters, the more, yes, the unemployed can spend to buy stuff. All with increasingly worthless currency, of course. But don't let that purposefully ignored fact get in the way of her theory purely emotional appeal to the extremely gullible.
Today's Duhmøronic Party misleaders obviously don't.
"It is a paradoxical truth," [President John F. Kennedy, in December 1962,] told the Economic Club of New York, "that tax rates are too high today and tax revenues are too low and the soundest way to raise the revenues in the long run is to cut the rates now." What he had in mind, he said, was "an across-the-board, top-to-bottom cut in personal and corporate income taxes"....
Four months earlier, JFK had called high tax rates a danger to "the very essence of the progress of a free society." In his 1963 State of the Union message, his first priority was "the enactment this year of a substantial reduction and revision in federal income taxes." In the speech he was scheduled to deliver on Nov. 22, 1963, Kennedy planned to report proudly: "We have proposed a massive tax reduction, with particular benefits for small business."
It's now painfully clear Dodøcrats don't care the first thing about facts. Especially when nearly every one proves them and their so-called economic theories excruciatingly wrong.
President Hoover dramatically increased tax rates in the 1930s and President Roosevelt compounded the damage by pushing marginal tax rates to more than 90 percent. Recognizing that high tax rates were hindering the economy, President Kennedy proposed across-the-board tax rate reductions that reduced the top tax rate from more than 90 percent down to 70 percent. What happened? Tax revenues climbed from $94 billion in 1961 to $153 billion in 1968, an increase of 62 percent (33 percent after adjusting for inflation).
In less than two months, the job creators and savers's taxes will increase. They'll have even less money then to create or save Jobs We Need™.
You do the math. Because members of the Depression Party, from the White House on down, can't — or, more likely, won't.
The only conclusion that fits all the facts is that Demøcommierat bastards must want more people unemployed. They must want more people dependent on government handouts. How else are these job killers going to get more and more of us to change from needing to be gainfully employed to having no hope of being anything other than permanent wards of the state Dismalratic Party?
Their personal power, not what's in the best interests of the American people, is the only thing Demøcrooks can and ever will care about.
iberals' version of "tolerance" is that you act, speak, and even think exactly as they say you should. Because, after all, liberals think feel they know — better than anyone else, of course — how everyone else should act, speak, and even think in an "inclusive society." Excluded from that fascist totalitarian dictatorship so-called society, of course, is whomever or whatever liberals can't tolerate. The chief of which being real, individual freedom, as opposed to some collective perversion of it.
Thus, a character in a Hollywood movie can bed everything with two or more legs, use every four-letter word in the book in practically every conversation, and think feel every corporation and cop is basically greedy and corrupt, and no one in the audience is allowed to be offended by any of it. But if he's holding a cigarette or eating a Happy Meal while doing it, that is an unacceptable influence on our nation's youth and shouldn't be tolerated.
"There's no place for Ronald McDonald or Joe Camel in our 'inclusive' society!" liberals shout.
Behold San Francisco, the paradise of permissive sexual attitudes. The city council may welcome flowers in your hair, but they have just voted to ban "Happy Meal" toys unless the "happy" menu is low in fat and sodium, and includes fruits and vegetables.
Apparently, that villain Ronald McDonald has been leading a Vast Child-Fattening Conspiracy.
This is hardly the first step toward dietary dictates in San Francisco. In 2007, Mayor Gavin Newsom banned city-government use of bottled water, and this past summer, Newsom instituted a ban on sugary sodas in city vending machines. And not just sugary sodas, but sports drinks and even artificially sweetened water. The rule insists juice must be 100 percent fruit or vegetable juice with no added sweeteners, and machines should allow the choice of soy milk or rice milk.
Then there's the Big Apple, San Francisco's East Coast cousin, another hub of libertine behavior. New York City schools now regulate the types of foods that students may sell for fundraising inside the school: Acceptable products include Fiber One bars, Soy Crisps and Ayala's Herbal Water. To qualify as an approved item, a snack must meet 11 criteria developed by the city. All products must be in marked, single-serving packages with a maximum calorie count of 200. Artificial sweeteners like Splenda are banned. Less than 35 percent of the item's total calories may come from either total sugars or fat. Grain-based products must contain at least 2 grams of fiber.
After resistance to the city's ban on bake sales of homemade goodies, the city relented partially: Parents may sell cupcakes and cookies — but only once a month, and not in the school cafeteria....
"I've been a little amused over the last couple of days where people have been having these rallies... You would think they would be saying 'thank you!' That's what you'd think." –Baracketeer Husseininny Øbraindead
A
ll right, Mr. Herr Øbetray-US.
On behalf of all the birds and other wildlife that you and your grossly negligent inaction and utter incompetence have been directly responsible for brutally murdering and terrorizing:
But they're too "tired" to do it this year. (Although next year they're very, very, very likely going to be retired.)
Even supporters of Obamacare are tired of fixing it. Earlier this month, Democratic (mis)leaders in the House and Senate said they won't attempt to fix Obamacare this year. "I have said for the last year and a half that we should be doing more on job creation, and I hope that we do move on," Rep. Daniel Lipinski (D.-Ill.) told The Hill. "I don't think we're going to be doing much more of anything on healthcare reform for the rest of the year."
Wait. Wasn't Obamacare itself supposed to create jobs? Another selling point collapses.
A
nother? That cannot be!
The latest (Congressional Budget Office) numbers indicate Obamacare will cost $115 billion more than originally projected. That would make Obamacare a $1 trillion-plus law....
CBO originally predicted Obamacare would result in a $143 billion net reduction in the deficit from 2010-2019. This new estimate eliminated most of these savings, and thus the vast majority of savings the President claimed his bill would deliver.
The newest CBO finding is consistent with last month's study by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Its final cost projections for Obamacare show that, contrary to White House claims, the new healthcare law will increase national health spending by $311 billion over the next decade and will cause 14 million Americans to lose their current employer-based health coverage. Most objective observers doubt that Obamacare will save one cent.
Higher costs. Zerø savings. No jobs.
Yes, we can carve that on the fascist Øbamaladministration's headstone.
And since the Øbamacaretards' Monstrosity™ "will cause 14 million Americans to lose their current employer-based health coverage," making Baracrook Øfreakshow's promise that "if you like your health care plan, you can keep it" as "good" as any other he's ever made or will make, yes, we can add:
No major promises kept, either.
Yet rather than recognizing the catastrophic failure that is Obamacare, liberals in Congress seem content to seek political cover and run out the clock until after the elections. For the time being, Americans are stuck with this monstrous law, even as it crumbles in each news cycle.
But they're going to run our their new health care system the same way they've run the Gulf oil-spill cleanup! blamegame & fingerpointing!
Except we'll be envying the birds and fish murdered by ØbamaOil® once we're fully covered with those snakeoil slicks gushing out uncontrollably from Øbama"Care."
Looking more and more like the best solution for fixing both is outright nuking them.
