Obama
Here we go again.
What part of INSTALL makes you feel warm inside?
Democrats Love Europe
Several months ago Greece experienced very harsh economic realities. Because of the common currency used in Europe, the rest of Europe felt the ripples of the Greek difficulties. Later it was Spain, Portugal and Italy. Now it is Ireland. Basically, the welfare estate in Greece has grown beyond the ability of the Greek economy to support it. The story is pretty much the same throughout Europe. With paid holidays, paid retirement, paid health care, paid education for everyone, … the general population has lost its motivation to work at all. Plus they are so entrenched in the welfare estate that it is now a right not a privilege.
What is amazing is that the Greek population is angry with their government for this predicament. The government gives the people what they want. Government cannot pay for all of it and eventually goes broke. People do not support cut backs on their paid holidays, paid retirement, paid health care, paid education for everyone, … Welcome to nanny state land. Accountability has been erased from their dictionary.
By the way, if Greece and most of the European countries has such ideal living conditions, then why is the net population movement from Europe to the USA?
The Democrats love Europe. Obama loves Europe. His changes for the USA are toward the European model for society. I have a suggestion for Obama and his Democrats – emigrate to Europe. Stop trying to change the very fabric of our country.
Does any understand the Napoleonic Code? Something about guilty until proven innocent I think …? We should try that one with our Congressmen and Senators.
If you love the European model, then be my guest. File papers. Move to Europe. I wish you only prosperity and good luck in your new home.
Profiling in our public school system
Obama and Arnie put their heads together and decided that something needed to be done. Minorities, especially blacks, have been punished within the public school system disproportionately. Meaning that when the public school system is meting out discipline, the percentage of black students enrolled is far less than the percentage of black students who receive discipline.
I have no idea if that is true. Intuitively I would agree. But that is not my point. What happened to all the anti profiling liberal outrage.
Is it OK to profile our public school students to ensure that racially proportional discipline is applied?
What happened to no profiling at airports or border crossings?
Gee I guess a different ox is being gored.
Smartest man in the room syndrome
President Obama is very bright. He is probably the smartest man in the room many times.
When we were teenagers or better yet, sophomores at university, many of us thought we were the smartest man in the room. We debated many topics and often assumed radical or idealistic positions in discussions because we were sincere about causes or we just liked to debate. As we look back, perhaps we are thankful that even if we were the smartest man in the room, we did not have the power to force our solutions on the world.
Whether you agree or disagree with President Obama on the many subjects he has raised in his almost 2 years of office, it matters not. What should concern you is that he truly believes he is the smartest man in the room on all subjects. As President he has the power to force his solutions on the world.
America Industry On Slippery Slope
The free market economy covets a stable predictable environment with a minimal government interference in the form of regulation, taxes or ‘competition’.
Often this is contested by socialist thinking such as the current administration in Washington today, February 16 2010. This results in more regulations, ‘competition’ to keep private industry ‘honest’, and more taxes – initially for the rich and eventually for all to sustain the debt required to maintain the government presence in industry and socialist entitlements which guarantee socialist popularity.
Since the 2008 campaign we have been promised a better economy through ‘green jobs’. After the election, a stimulus package was passed which included many ‘green job’ items.
Here is a review of this type of ‘green job’ strategy by George Will as presented in Real Clear Politics:

George does a pretty good job of summarizing the situation. The only thing he left off is nuclear energy programs which are not green. I mention this because France is head and shoulders the leader in this area of power production. Isn’t France always opposing our use of fossil fuels and trying to encourage us to use wind and solar power? Why isn’t France concentrating on wind and solar power?
Bring on Obama and campaign promises of a new world with new ‘green jobs’ for all which are planet friendly and make all of us more fulfilled etc. etc. He may or may not believe this political tripe but here is reality. Upon election a stimulus bill was passed which included significant funds for ‘green energy’ projects. You know, the ones which will create those beloved ‘green jobs’ that are bankrupting Spain just now. Here is a story from WSB in Atlanta:
http://www.wsbtv.com/news/22508703/detail.html
This story reveals that we are spending the stimulus money on Spanish technology and hardware. We either do not know how to build wind turbines or we do not have time to develop efficient ones. Doesn’t a company do this in the USA – GE perhaps. You know, like the Spanish ones which are not providing economically justifiable levels of power for Spain while bankrupting the Spanish treasury by creating green jobs at a cost of $800,000 each. Only a socialist government would campaign for doing something that it turns out we cannot do and upon further investigation we find out that no one can do… Furthermore, have you ever talked to any0ne who lives near one of these wind farms. Perhaps we should build project housing out there. I assure the land will be cheap.
Finally here is an example of the death knell being rung by Obama and his Marxist/Socialist/DoGooders whatever…
Just another example of American ingenuity being forced out of existence by punitive government policy and attitude.
One last note, the trigger for this article, Organizing for America – Obama’s money and people raising email organization – recently brags …
“In just the last 3 days, OFA volunteers like you have pledged an incredible 4,000,000 (and counting!) hours to support members of Congress and candidates who fight for real health reform…” The lack of self thought and common sense among the American people is very disappointing. What is truly disheartening is the following: why can no one see the truth about Obama and his administration? Why can no one see the slippery slope they are leading this country down.
Whenever you want to answer the last question, here is what you can do. Keep a pad and pencil next to you where you watch the nightly news. Every time you hear a story about the current administration – good or bad – make a note. In the note grade the story on the level of criticism or praise of the current administration. Also note if either the Republicans or George Bush are mentioned in a negative manner. Whenever possible recall similar situations that George Bush endured during his 8 years and the treatment he received from the media.
Putin enjoys a major victory
I cannot say this better than the Times:

Who is devising our foreign affairs strategy? Maybe I c0uld get invited to the poker game …
