Tea Party Fever in South Carolina!

It's Tea Party time again in Greenville come April 17. Unfortunately I was unable to attend the rain soaked protest a month ago where over 2000 people attended an event that was barely advertised, but this time I'll be there along with my fellow partner in crime, and Three Ball Dead Poster, t. durham. Local talk radio is doing a lot of press preceeding the event, and I fully expect 5000 or more to gather at The Bilo Center concourse to raise a little legal and under control Hell concerning Comrade Obama's hammer and sickle routine.

Your humble narrators will report back on the festivities with photos and analysis - assuming we're not way laid by the Obama Civil Patrol on the way home. It is a stange world we're living in. Thank Goodness Aaron Tippin isn't as cynical.

A nice little prophecy...

While trolling the big blogs, I came across this gem in The Corner:

The president and his team are suffering from the same conceit which has afflicted many other activist governments in many other settings. They believe a central government can find a way to induce reluctant consumers to buy products they don’t want from inefficient suppliers without asking anyone, anywhere — save for corporate hot-shots — to make an economic sacrifice. Certainly, the unions aren’t to blame. Therefore, the problem must be poor “leadership.” And if the companies can’t manage themselves well, then by golly, the government will help them do it.

Read the whole thing (short) here.

Now that Bush is gone things just keep getting better and better.

Wow...just wow.

Can't call it the "war on terror. Can't waterboard 'em. Gonna close Gitmo and let em go in the States.

How long before something really bad happens in America perpetrated by the Religion of Peace?

Morons from the White House on down.

Re: Climate change hysteria or inconvienent truth, convienent lie.

Where to start. This is the biggest and smelliest turd ever foisted upon and proud and noble people. This is highway robbery using moronic simplistic psuedo-science as the weapon or choice. Let's begin with the statement "global warming is causing the polar ice-caps to melt". From this the "scientists" have said that the shorelines will raise 20 to 100 feet around the world. The "scientists" base this theory on another lie...that 87% of the worlds icebergs have or are in the process of melting. Well...if in fact 87% of the world's icebergs have melted... then where is the resulting rise in the shoreline? Speaking for the great state of South Carolina...there was zero increase in the water level. Therefore I do not believe the melting of the other 13% of the polar ice caps will matter a whit. Also, does anyone remember high school science? Ice takes up more space than water does. Therefore if the ice caps melt the shorelines will actually recede. Logic is a lost art with "scientists".

Heads, you lose. Tails, you may lose your heads.

It's decision time: The almighty will of parental government is, as we used to say, up your nose with a rubber hose: Whether you want it or not; whether it's prudent or not; whether it means sacrificing your inalienable rights...or not. Accept...or deny?

Accepting Obamanization means throwing the rules out the window, along with the baby, the bathwater...and our fundamental freedoms. The laws protecting contracts; who needs them? Trillions of no strings attached dollars doled out for every known enterprise...and many of them dubious at best- no problem. Cozying up to avowed terrorists - hell, we are the terrorists! So, in comes the Gitmo detainees to a street near you, and out goes candy and flowers to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Meanwhile, as the Chinese call for the end of the Dollar, the masses yuk it up with Barry as he does the talk show circuit. As we've seen, out there on his own, he has trouble articulating the nuances of bailouts, stimulus plans and income redistribution. Not to say that the message is any better with the prompter lights on, it still sucks huuuuuuge! Despite Mr. Obama's glib approach, his plan is a big loser for all - including the mind numbed masses clamoring for change, change, change. And to think, we're only a couple of months into the abyss.

Denying government...intervention, on the other hand, apparently isn't an option. During the coronation campaign, Michelle Obama, our sainted First Lady, warned us that "Barack will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual" (starting at about the 8:40 mark). They put it right there in our faces. They out and out promised the electorate an aggressive government. Mrs. Obama's words render it hard to mistake the threat of Liberal Fascism. And, now that that they are ruling, they are delivering.

Our "lives as usual", as Mother Michelle put it, has been replaced with an Juggernaut of crisis mongers, market killers and freedom robbers. Orwellian Pigs are in control now and the trampling of freedom has begun. And boy are these pigs smart. At least that is what we are told. We are reminded daily by the slavish mainstream media of our need to follow the swine herd. These erudite boars see our dissent as an affliction born of ignorance. To the liberal elite, our knuckle dragging conservatism reveals our inner most greed infested mindset - our penchant for the horrors of individual freedom. You remember freedom...formerly known as "life as usual". ?

The government is here for you America. They stand ready to come for your guns, your profits, your choice of health care, etc. Will you...will we have the guts to stand up and say no to the swine herd's tromp? Stay tuned.

To the right are my favorite blogs. These guys are the watchdogs of freedom...and there are many more like them. Read them all and stay vigilant.

Climate change hysteria...

Hide your wallets America. Beneath the scare mongering facade of climate alarmism lies festering the true agenda of the Obama administration: Your money and the liberal redistribution of it.


From the Wall Street Journal:


"People are learning," says William Kovacs, vice president of environment,
technology and regulatory affairs at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce (which has
been cautious about embracing a climate plan). "The Obama budget did more to
help us consolidate and coalesce the business community than anything we could
have done. It's opened eyes to the fact that this is about a social welfare
transfer system, not about climate."


Oh yeah, the proposed "cap and trade" shell game will be nothing more than a new way for government to hound American industry (what's left of it) to pony up billions for "redistribution". For you lemmings out there who have daily Gorebasms, here is a little inconvenient truth for you.


Mr. Obama is promising to return auction money to Americans, via a tax cut he proposed on the campaign trail. Mr. Corker calls this a "sleight of hand," since people were counting on a tax cut in any event. Nobody told them they'd have to fund it with higher energy costs. It's also a wealth transfer -- electricity users in coal-heavy Ohio, for instance, will be funding tax cuts for green Californians. Not that congressional spenders have any intention of using this money for tax cuts in the first place.

As a Duke Power customer, I fully expect my rates to climb exponentially as this nonsense becomes law; and the entire charade is built on crisis mongering. Of course, alarmism is the preferred tool of anti capitalists everywhere. Sort of a scare 'em and screw 'em plan. However, over 30,000 scientist world wide have signed a petition that refutes the chicken little philosophy of Gore, Gorbachev, et al (though the MSM paid little attention to it).:

"There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gases is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the earth's atmosphere and disruption of the earth's climate. Moreover, there is substantial scientific evidence that increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide produce many beneficial effects upon the natural plant and animal environments of the earth."

Oh yes, things are shaping up nicely. Freedom hating Islamo crazies are taking over Europe and moving westward, and freedom fearing liberals are jamming their commie laden enviro-politics up the tail pipe of the greatest economic engine the world has ever known.

And all of it based on damnable lies.

Cult of Personality

Change we can believe in. Oh I am a believer. I believe that this country is going at break-neck speed into the type of government tailor-made for a charismatic psychopath to take control. Said psychopath being our new prez. All major industries are being nationalized, no dissent is allowed, and all the major news outlets are in lockstep and cover-up mode to protect his administration. Sound familiar? Think Soviet Union, China, Cuba, and any and all arab controlled dictatorships. They all follow the same game plan and strategy. Control all means of production, propagandise the population, and crush all dissent. Think this cannot happen here? Look around! The democratic house and senate has effectively nationalised the banks, auto industry and are aiming at the energy industries next. When asked how this is going to help all you hear is "we have to break with the policies of the past". Actually this is a past policy. It was used in the last Great Depression and it didn't work then. The definition of insanity is "trying the same thing over and over and expecting a different result". Well... we do have a psycho in control.

Defenders of the Obama plan...How does it work?

It amazes me that people believe that they can tax and regulate themselves into prosperity. Ask any proponent of this philosophy to explain the basics of how it works and their eyes will glaze over as if they had just snorted a line of pure mescaline. Usually, though, the question is met with the recipient valiantly attempting to explain the virtues of leveling the playing field by taxing the rich, saving the planet by punishing achievers, and guaranteeing outcomes by curbing individual freedoms. But defending the notion that government gets to call the shots concerning lives, liberties and pursuits of happiness is a tough sell. Eventually, the great guardian of the cause will become frustrated over the magnitude of the endeavor and lapse into a tirade that ultimately blames Bush, Jesus or both. As the church lady used to say, "how convenient".

And the truly insidious aspect of all this is that Americans are accepting this arrangement without so much as a whimper. Every time I see the scene in Animal House where Chip Diller is spanked as part of Omega's initiation, I can't help but think - that's us. We have become a nation of "thank you sir may I have another" sycophants eagerly awaiting the next governmental paddling. Pretty soon we'll be perpetually bent over begging for more taxes, more regs, more income redistribution, more earmarks, more bailouts...more misery.

Going Galt seems the natural progression of action for free thinking people. The alternative is to develop a glassy eyed stare and babble incoherently about the need for change; while ignorantly disregarding the aberration of freedom that comes with said change. From wherever she is, Ayn Rand is saying in a voice made raspy by cigarette smoke, "I told you so".
