2010 Elections In Jeporady?

And I don't mean the game show!
There's an excellent "Open Letter To America" to read over at our friends the JPFO's website. I'm hesitant to just copy and paste it, so please follow the link and read the letter.
H/T to Fuzzy's Dad.

Obama's Business Experience

...Is absolutely ZERO, or maybe even less. In the news of several large corporations taking huge writedowns due to the passage of ObamaCare and their loss of tax breaks, here's a good article to read about Teh One and his cronies reaction to it.

The FED Wants Your 401(k), Too!

Man, I'm *seriously* considering buying a few mattresses to stuff my money into!

Unions Want to Take Over Your 401(k)

Oh, boy.....
Found a link to this article at The Market Ticker. And it's not just any union, it's the scum sucking SEIU, one of the Obummer's bed pals.
Pretty damn scary.

I think it's getting to be "The Time".

Our oldest dog hasn't been doing too well the last couple of days. She's almost 14 years old, went deaf about 8 months ago, has an enlarged heart and fluid buildup in her lungs, and gets small fatty tumors. She's been pretty listless the last few days, and she has a bloody mucus discharge from her nose that just started. She was pretty quiet yesterday, but as soon as I got the leash out after dinner, she perked right up, tail wagging, ears up, jumping around like a pup, and we went for a nice long walk. Well, with her it's more of a nice long SNIFF anymore, as we'll walk about 30~40 feet, and then something on the ground or in the parkway requires her attention for a a minute or two, and then off we go again.
This afternoon she was shivering, so I covered her up on the couch, and she napped. I got the leash out after dinner, and she didn't want to go, so I'm worried we might (or maybe should....it's wrong to let them suffer) have to take her on her last trip to the vet tomorrow.
Bummer.......

Oh, The Humanity......Wikipedia GLOBAL Outage

Wikipedia is down due to some servers in their European Data Center overheating and shutting down.
They transferred the data traffic to the USA, but it's going to take the DNS servers a while to catch up.

Civil War Has Started......

Well, at least Dennis Prager thinks so, and he has seven actions we need to take.
#1 Know and teach America's core values
#2 Recognize we are fighting the LEFT, and not LIBERALS
#3 Start referring to the Democratic Party as the Social Democratic Party.
#4 Work tirelessly to repeal the bill
#5 Our motto should be The Bigger The Government, The Smaller The Citizen
#6 Do not let other matters distract
#7 Acknowledge we are in a non-violent Civil War

REMEMBER IN NOVEMBER!

My buddy Old NFO says this should be our rallying cry.
I agree!
I'm looking into getting some nice bumper stickers made with this printed on them. Let me know if you're interested.

Help Repeal Obamacare

Don't know how much this will help, but we have to start somewhere.
I think today will be known as "The Great Democrat Cliff Dive day", as they *ALL* just cut their own throats.

Please sign the pledge!

Dear Granddaughter....

I know, this, or a variation of it, has been around for a while. I just thought it was appropriate in light of what The Gubmint is planning on passing today.

John G. is 63 years old and owns a small business. He's a life-long
Republican and sees his dream of retiring next year has all but
evaporated. With the stock market crashing and new taxes coming his way, John assumes now that he will work to his dying day.

John has a granddaughter. Ashley is a recent college grad. She drives a
flashy hybrid car, wears all the latest fashions, and loves to go out to
nightclubs and restaurants. Ashley campaigned hard for Barack Obama. After
the election she made sure her grandfather (and all other Republican
family members) received a big I told-you-so earful on how the world is going to
be a much better place now that her party is taking over.

Having lost both roommates, Ashley recently ran short of cash and cannot
pay the rent (again) on her 3 bedroom townhouse. Like she has done many times in the past, she e-mailed her grandfather asking for some financial help.

Here is his reply:

Sweetheart,

I received your request for assistance.

Ashley, you know I love you dearly and I 'm sympathetic to your financial
plight. Unfortunately, times have changed. With the election of President
Obama, your grandmother and I have had to set forth a bold new economic plan
of our own..."The Ashley Economic Empowerment Plan." Let me explain.

Your grandmother and I are life-long, wage-earning tax payers. We have lived
a comfortable life, as you know, but we have never had the fancier things
like European vacations, luxury cars, etc. We have worked hard and were
looking forward to retiring soon. But the plan has changed. Your President and his Congress are raising our personal and business taxes significantly. He says it is so he can give our hard earned money to other people. Do you know what this means, Ashley? It means less for us, and we must cut back on many business and personal expenses. You know the wonderful receptionist who worked in my office for more than 23 years, the one who always gave you candy when you came over to visit? I had to let her go last week. I can't afford to pay her salary and all of the government mandated taxes that go with having employees. Your grandmother will now work 4 days a week to answer phones, take orders, and handle the books. We will be closed on Fridays and will lose even more income to the local Wal-Mart.

I'm also very sorry to report that your cousin, Frank will no longer be working summers in the warehouse. I called him at school this morning. He already knows about it, and he's upset because he will have to give up skydiving and his yearly trip to Greenland to survey the polar bears.

That's just the business side of things. Some personal economic effects of
Obama's new taxation policies include none other than you. You know very
well that over the years your grandmother and I have given you thousands of
dollars in cash, tuition assistance, food, housing, clothing, gifts, etc., etc. But by your vote, you have chosen to help others -- not at your expense -- but at our expense.

If you need money now sweetheart, I recommend you call 202-456-1111. That is the direct phone number for the White House. You yourself told me how foolish it is to vote Republican. You said Mr. Obama is going to be the
People's President, and is going to help every American live a better life..

Based on everything you've told me, along with all the promises we heard
during the campaign, I'm sure Mr. Obama will be happy to transfer some
stimulus money into your bank account. Have him call me for the account
number which I memorized years ago...

Perhaps you can now understand what I've been saying all my life: those who
vote for a president should consider the impact on the nation as a whole,
and not be just concerned with what they can get for themselves. What
Obama supporters don't seem to realize is all of the money he is redistributing
to illegal aliens and non-taxpaying Americans (the so-called "less fortunate")
comes from tax-paying families. There is no government money.
It is money taken from one group, distributed to another, minus a "handling fee."

Remember how you told me, "Only the richest of the rich will be affected"?

Well guess what, Honey? Because we own a business, your grandmother and I
are now considered to be the richest of the rich. On paper, it might look that way, but in the real world, we are far from it.

As you said while campaigning for Obama, some people will have to carry more
of the burden so all of America can prosper. You understand what that means,
right? It means that raising taxes on productive people results in them having less money; less money for everything, including granddaughters.

I'm sorry, Ashley, but the well has run dry. The free lunches are over. I have no money to give you now. So, congratulations on your choice for "change." For future reference, I encourage you to try and add up the total value of the gifts and cash you have received from us, just since you went off to college, and compare it to what you expect to get from Mr. Obama over the next 4 (or 8) years. I have not kept track of it, Ashley. It has all truly been the gift of our hearts.

Remember, we love you dearly.... but from now on you'll need to call the
number mentioned above. Your "Savior" has the money we would have given to
you. Just try and get it from him.

Good luck, Sweetheart.

Love,
Grandpa
