So no matter how idealistic you start out, by the time you're ready a bunch of rich people who care nothing for the country or anything outside of their little group and their opinions have put a leash on you.<br /><br />The US had a great political system going, but more and more it has moved towards post-Stalin Soviet Russia. We're not quite there yet, but the slowly emerging similarities are uncanny.<br /><br />A small circle of politically connected elites control almost everything and give each other reach-arounds while impoverishing the people for the sake of their own ideology and in the name of the people.<br /><br />And it doesn't matter whether the republicans or democrats are on top, they're just different flavors of the same crap sandwich we all have to take a bite of (this process we call "election").<br /><br />So I really can't blame Obama for being a self-absorbed quasi-tyrant who spouts idealistic nonsense while one of his hands is in the average Joe's pocket and the other is covering the average Joe's mouth.<br /><br />He just does what politicians nowadays do. Tigers attack and maul things, politicians ruin the country. It's the state of nature. But considering how many people were shocked and surprised after the whole Sigfried and Roy incident, what we need is just some common sense.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893665144141962944.post-79295669666603261122009-09-28T00:55:17.131-07:002009-09-28T00:55:17.131-07:00"My brother's a Navy guy who supports Oba..."My brother's a Navy guy who supports Obama.

Repeat after me:
"Nutball Regime B...Whiskey,<br /><br />Repeat after me:<br /><br />"Nutball Regime Becomes More So Under Pressure."<br /><br />Iran's current Mullah regime is a perfect example of this.<br /><br />Iranian president's wild rhetoric was and is addressed to a domestic audience, i.e., that it concerned domestic dominance games, and that <b>the actors do not conceive of the outside world as real, let alone able to influence events inside Iran.</b><br /><br />Similarly Pres. Obama's inner circle cannot see the the rest of America or the outside world as anything other than the Democratic power machine that is Hyde Park/Chicago politics.<br /><br />Neither America nor the outside world are Hyde Park, but no one will tell the King that he is without a real robe and naked.<br /><br />I had expected that by 2012 the Democrats would be pandering to the life-style police as a means of appealing to their base. As in, again, Nutso regimes become more so under pressure like:<br /> <br />1) "Mommy, a Democrat stole my corn-dog!"<br /> <br />2) "We're supposed to use what instead of toilet-paper?"<br /><br />The speed at which they have already gotten there with soft toilet paper is down right scary.<br /><br />What the Obama Administration and the Leftie Democrats in Congress are planning to do via using executive EPA environmental regulation for CO2 emissions is far worse than sand paper like toilet paper.<br /><br />If the EPA creates and applies CO2 regulations via a superfund toxic waste style litigation system based on CO2 emissions. The economic impact will be thermonuclear.<br /> <br />For instance, if a Federal judge agrees that CO2 emissions are making polar bears an endangered species, EVERY CONSTRUCTION, BUSINESS OR MANUFACTURING PROJECT EVERYWHERE will have to go through the an EPA endangered species evaluation.<br /><br />Regulatory uncertainty combined with <b>unlimited economic damages</b> will drive the price of any land to zero, no matter how much people want to use it.<br /> <br />California and some other Blue states will of course, add more CO2regulatory over burden on to what the Feds do.<br /><br />This would tube land values nation wide as no one could effectively value anything with both economic uncertainty and unlimited economic damages.<br /><br />The upshot of such a economic regime would kill the Endangered Species act in the long term, but would feed Democratic interest groups in the short term prior to elections.<br /><br />Such is the nature of nutball regimes under pressure.Mil-Tech Bardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11654312581130984629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893665144141962944.post-30796171755433240152009-09-25T13:34:58.304-07:002009-09-25T13:34:58.304-07:00Guys,

Time to work less?<br /><br />Eighteen months after being laid off, Judith Lederman, a 50-year-old divorcee who lives in Scarsdale, N.Y., is ready to consider jobs paying half the $120,000 she earned as a publicity manager at Lord & Taylor. That's mostly because she's desperate, but it also makes sense when you consider how this country punishes work effort. While the first $60,000 of her income would be lightly taxed, the next $60,000 would be hit with what is in effect a 79% tax rate. Given a choice between a part-time or easy job paying $60,000 and a demanding, stress-ridden job paying $120,000, Lederman would be wise to take the former. In the tougher job she would be contributing twice as much to the economy. But she wouldn't be doing herself much good. It would make more sense to take it easy and spend more time with her high school senior daughter, Casey.<br /><br />How did a middle-class single mom wind up with a 79% marginal tax rate? At $120,000 she would pay $16,500 a year more in federal and state taxes, wouldn't qualify for the five-year $12,000-a-year cut in her mortgage payments she's applying for and would be eligible for $19,000 a year less in need-based college financial aid.</i><br /><br />>snip<Mil-Tech Bardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11654312581130984629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893665144141962944.post-54444327404258129452009-09-25T09:14:30.488-07:002009-09-25T09:14:30.488-07:00BTW- Swearing an oath to the Constitution, NOT the...BTW- Swearing an oath to the Constitution, NOT the President, is the very thing that compels the US military members to disobey unlawful orders.<br /><br />This is one of the many great things that differentiate the US military from other inferior armies.Mr. Blackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17222327138030220740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893665144141962944.post-2981184162318446952009-09-25T09:10:43.635-07:002009-09-25T09:10:43.635-07:00I have said it before and I'll say it again:

And it is quite possible that Obama and his minions, may well be Domestic Enemies.<br /><br />When I left the military, nobody released me from my oath.
