Nancy Pelosi Strikes Again

It seems that Speaker of the House Nancy "I'm Totally Clueless" Pelosi recently declared on TV that, "I'm trying to save the Planet." A noble endeavor no doubt. However, it must be asking too much to expect her to "Save the US" from economic collapse. Following her rant of disparaging remarks concerning the Bush Administration in particular and Republicans in general, the House failed to ratify a plan to rescue failing financial institutions that Congress helped create. Even the most amateur student of the US Constitution knows that the "power of the purse strings" resides entirely in the United States Congress. That is to say that only the Congress has the power to raise taxes and pay Federal Government obligations. So how is it that everything bad in America is the result of 8 years of failed Bush Administration Policies? President Bush can't levy taxes, nor can he spend one dime of taxpayer money on his own, he doesn't have the authority. The God awful truth is that if the Speaker of the House really wanted to pass legislation to rescue floundering Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac from total disaster, she would encourage all Democrat Representatives to back the legislation. The final vote tally was 140 Democrats 'yea' and 95 Democrats 'nay'. That would total 235 Democrat votes versus 198 Republican votes and the bill would pass by virtue of a simple majority, not to mention the fact that 133 Republicans voted 'yea'. She can't even control her own party, but insists that it is George Bush who is at fault for all that ails us. It is my opinion that Speaker Pelosi does not want the bill to pass. I believe that the Ultra-Liberal Democrats want to see the US economy collapse so that Bush and Republicans can be blamed and to fulfill their misguided manifest destiny delusion of winning the White House in November via Barak Hussein Obama (the crook from Chicago). This is how demented the Ultra-Liberal Wing of the Democrat Party has become.

Jesus was not a 'community organizer'

It seems that Democrats Steve Cohen and Donna Brazile know little about the Bible in general and the New Testament in particular. Jesus is described by many attributes, but community organizer is not one of them. He was a carpenter, a rabbi(teacher), prophet, healer, miracle worker and Son of God. At age 12, Jesus was remembered to astound the great Jewish teachers of his time with his knowledge and understanding Jewish Scriptures, I have never read about Mr. Obama even asking one question of his religious leaders, let alone impress anyone with his knowledge of Scripture. I have yet to read any accounts of Mr.Obama healing the lame or raising the dead. What is really pathetic about this silly notion is that not only do Cohen and Brazile reveal their total ignorance of the Christian religion, but also that the throngs of Obama supporters who have echoed this absurd banter have revealed about themselves as well. One would do well to note that the father of Mr. Obama is a Muslim ne'er-do-well and that the Father of Jesus is God Almighty.

P.S.
Pontius Pilate held the Title of Prefect of Judaea sometimes referred to as 'Procurator', who was appointed by the Roman Government and certainly did not hold his office by virtue of a free democratic election. It also should be noted that while Pilate could be defined as a governor, after his interrogation of Jesus at the behest of Jewish religious leaders, he declared, "I find no fault with this man". I seriously doubt that the same can be said of Mr. Obama.

The "Bush" Brush

Ultra-Liberal bloggers as well as Mr. Obama have lately been painting John McCain with broad strokes of the "Bush" brush. It reminds me of the guy who climbs a ladder and drops a few buckets of paint onto an out-stretched canvas on the floor and calls it "art". They seem to have forgotten that it was John McCain who ran against George Bush in the 2000 GOP Primary. McCain used to be a media darling for his "Maverick" style and willingness to "cross the aisle". Must be a case of selective amnesia.

Gutless in Los Angeles

Los Angeles City Council Member Bernard Parks shows his true colors: yellow. Instead of tackling one of the most important dangers to Los Angelenos, combating ruthless illegal immigrant gang members, he proposes an ordinance against smoking any where in the city where 'large groups of people may congregate'. How gutless is that? He has nothing to fear from a minority of smokers, but is scared silly of criminal gang members even after having been a Los Angeles City Police Chief. What is his rational for going after these murdering smokers? "52,000 Americans die each year from second hand smoke," he said. That is .000173% of the total population of the United States.
Last year 41,000 people died from automobile accidents, perhaps Mr Parks wants to ban automobiles in Los Angeles also. Furtheremore, Los Angeles City Council has ordered City Police Officers to NOT report illegal immigration status of arrested criminals to the appropriate Federal Agencies. What's wrong with this picture? Hint: "1984" by George Orwell. It is not the "right wing" of government that needs to be feared, it is an Ultra-Liberal (Communist) form of government. Bernard Parks should be ashamed of himself and resign.

Notable Quotes

Jimmy Carter, 1979 :

"The generation-long growth in our dependence on foreign oil will be stopped dead in it's tracks right now".



Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Nov 16, 2006:
“This leadership team will create the most honest, most open and most ethical Congress in history.”


Susan Page, USA TODAY Aug 5, 2008 :
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Sunday ruled out a vote on new offshore oil drilling even as Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama said he might be open to a compromise that included it.



"We cannot drill our way out of the problem." The Audacity of Hope, by Barack Obama, p.167-169 Oct 1, 2006

"Like all compromises....It includes..... new offshore drilling....
I am willing to consider it if it's necessary........"
CNN Aug 5, 2008

"What I haven't done yet is talk to the experts in terms of the safety and viability of having those kinds of drilling operations........"
Obama, Orlando Sentinel Aug 2, 2008

We can't drill our way out?

I generally don't answer a question with another question, however, in this case I'm going to make an exception. The media has been parroting the hysterical mantra that insists that "we can't drill our way out of this mess".
My question is why not?
Liberals insist that it would take 10 years to bring new oil to market. Why do they so confidently assert this so-called fact? It is because they (the Liberals) have made it so. The required "Environmental Impact Report" alone can take 3 years to develop. Excessively stringent environmental and land-use regulations have made it nearly impossible to drill for new oil. Any oil industry analyst will tell you that they could be pumping oil in some cases within a year and in others in 2 years. When I was growing up in Western Pennsylvania and anyone said I can't do this or I can't do that, they were immediately chided by the refrain, "you won't know until you try".
The curious aspect of the "We Can't" delegation is that they insist that drilling won't do anything to bring down the cost of gasoline. Huh? First Nancy "I'm Totally Clueless" Pelosi has insisted on tapping the Strategic Oil Reserve, by the way, she is after all trying to SAVE THE PLANET, and now even the Democratic Nominee Barak Obama has jumped on the band wagon to tap the Strategic Oil Reserve which will, "give America a break in gasoline prices". The terms preposterous and hypocritical should come to mind to any reasonable thinker. Obviously you can't have it both ways. If tapping the Strategic Oil Reserve will reduce prices at the pump, why wouldn't drilling for new oil have the same effect? The Democratic Leadership must be thinking that the American Voters are the most stupid individuals on the Planet and should therefore be treated with utter contempt. It is my opinion that the American Citizen Voter must either be insane to vote for Mr. Obama or Mrs. Pelosi this fall, or else must enjoy being insulted by the intelligentsia elite and treated like little children. President Bush is quite right to insist that the Strategic Oil Reserve is for EMERGENCIES and not for political expediency to get Democrats elected in November. Argh.

Energy Crisis

Has anyone heard anything on the nightly news (cable or otherwise) about a balanced approach to the current energy crisis? It is about as obvious as the elephant in the room that nobody seems to notice. Doesn't common sense dictate that a two-fold solution is the only viable one? Lest anyone should be deluded about the high price of foreign oil, take notice of the operative word 'FOREIGN'. The current economic crisis is caused solely by the purchase of foreign oil to the tune of 700 billion dollars annually, 3 times the cost of the entire Iraq War. I say drill here, drill now and at the same time, provide incentives to the private sector (that would be tax breaks to those of you who are registered Democrats) to develop realistic alternative energy solutions, not some pie-in-the-sky oratory by Al Gore who probably never had a real job in his whole life. It would take a windmill farm the size of Connecticut just to provide New York City with it's electrical needs. Of course we could demand that the current residents of Kansas leave their homes so that we can build a giant solar grid array and locate it centrally in the Country. Nuclear power plants are not only clean and safer than 30 years ago, they are also cheap compared to any other source. Did I mention that we have enough coal in the U.S. to power all of the current coal-fired plants for the next 100 years? It is high time for the citizens in this country to wake up and not be taken in by these Environmental-Communists and DEMAND realistic solutions to our current energy crisis. We need to stop the flow of U.S Dollars to countries that don't even like us (nor we them). No reasonable person is against developing alternate energy sources, but such massive changes in infrastructure alone will take 20 years. We can't wait that long. The most recent propaganda spiel being bantered about by the anti-oil Chicken Littles is that 'Big Oil' is sitting on non-producing oil leases. How stupid do they think we are? If these so-called GREEDY oil companies have all of this vast acreage of non-producing oil leases, does anyone really believe that with the price of oil about $130 a barrel that they wouldn't be pumping oil with everything they have? I distinctly remember that when Nancy 'I'm Totally Clueless' Pelosi took over as Speaker of the House in 2006, the price of gasoline was about $2.60 a gallon. Ms Pelosi was outraged. She swore on a stack of Bibles, 2 Korans and a Torah that she would do everything in her power to bring the price of gasoline down! Gas costs about $4.40 now. Duh. She has the unmitigated gall to call George Bush a failure.
Has anyone considered that even if giant wind farms and solar grid arrays could be built in a reasonable amount of time that the same environmental lunatics who protest and sue over oil wells and forest management will also protest and sue over windmills and solar panels in areas that they deem off limits? It is time for level headed people to stand up and be counted. Enough of this liberal wrongheadedness. While many honest well meaning people are involved with this agenda of destroying the current economic status of the United States may be good intentioned, the results will be disastrous.
P.S.
Who cares if other countries don't like Americans? Personally, I don't believe that. If they hate us so much, why do they pour in annually in such numbers that we needed to regulate legal immigration. Oh yeah, it's not the people of the U.S. that they don't like, it's the government. Huh? They hate the most generous government of the Free World? What government gives as much money to Africa for Aids and malnutrition. Oh they don't like our use of 25% of the world's oil. Well, for the uninformed, we produce 25% of the World GNP, a little stated fact. That is correct, we (3% of the World's population) produce 25% of the World GNP. The United States is also the World's largest producer of Almonds, Blueberries, Cow Milk, Cranberries, Grapefruit, Green Corn (Maize), Sorghum, Soybeans, Strawberries and String Beans.
According to the United Nations Agricultural Database (Statistics Division) also lists the United States as the second highest producer of Apples, Cherries, Eggs, Honey, Hops, Lettuce, Mushrooms, Oranges, Pistachios, Spinach, Tomatoes and Walnuts.
The U.S. is the third largest producer of Asparagus, Avocados, Carrots, Grapes. Hazelnuts, Linseed, Oats, Peaches, Pears, Green Peas, Raspberries, Safflower Seed, Onions, Sugar Beets and Wheat. Etc., etc., etc.
How many C.A.R.E. packages are shipped out of the U.S. per year? How many countries does the Red Cross operate? Does anyone believe that the majority of the World's population hates America? Ask a South Korean, ask an Israeli, ask a Ukrainian, ask an Armenian, ask a Filippino, ask an Afghan or any purple fingered Iraqi. How many countries ever said thank you or ever paid back their share of the cost of WWI or WWII? Are there really American citizens who lie awake at night wondering why the French don't like us? How many American citizens really care if the Europeans don't like us? I've seen on the blogs that some foreigners consider the US a 'laughing-stock'. Who was laughing when we landed a man on the moon? Who was laughing when we received transmissions from the Mars Landers? Who was laughing as they viewed in awe the photographs from the Hubble Space Telescope? Who was laughing when Ronald Reagan gave a speech at the Brandenburg Gate challenging M. Gorbachev to 'tear down this wall'? I could go on.....
