The Corrupt Genius Colorado Put In Office For SIX More Years

Good work morons. Way to evaluate talent. Go back to watching Simon Cowell or whatever else nice looking moron you're addicted to now before you do even more damage.

(Yes, of course he's right the Senate is rigged. Interesting we didn't hear a peep from Bennett about that during the election campaign. That means he's a corrupt bastard himself now doesn't it?)

PALIN HAS HAD ENOUGH: Corrupt bastards.

Miller campaign claims KTVA reporters caught on tape discussing smear; Update: Palin calls Alaska media “corrupt bastards” - Hot Air: "Sarah Palin tweeted that the Alaska media are “corrupt bastards.” Well, she would know after the way they treated her during and after her VP run. The Daily Caller has more on the story. The Right Scoop has the video of Palin repeating it on Fox News:"

Inaction has consequences:

24 Scary Facts About the U.S. Economy Crossing Wall Street: "Here are 24 scary facts about the U.S. economy:

#1 Ten years ago, the United States was ranked number one in average wealth per adult. In 2010, the United States has fallen to seventh.

#2 The United States once had the highest proportion of young adults with post-secondary degrees in the world. Today, the U.S. has fallen to 12th.

#3 In the 2009 “prosperity index” published by the Legatum Institute, the United States was ranked as just the ninth most prosperous country in the world. That was down five places from 2008.

#4 In 2001, the United States ranked fourth in the world in per capita broadband Internet use. Today it ranks 15th.

#5 The economy of India is projected to become larger than the U.S. economy by the year 2050.

#6 One prominent economist now says that the Chinese economy will be three times larger than the U.S. economy by the year 2040."

Three F's and we're out. (That would be Football, Facebook and Fraud.)

I'll take "corrupt" for $800, Alex:

Americans' Image of "Federal Government" Mostly Negative: "PRINCETON, NJ -- More than 7 in 10 Americans use a word or phrase that is clearly negative when providing a top-of-mind reaction to the federal government.

A Sept. 20-21 USA Today/Gallup poll asked respondents what they would say 'if someone asked you to describe the federal government in one word or phrase.' The accompanying chart shows the results in graphic form, with the words or phrases displayed according to how frequently they are mentioned.

Additionally, the complete list of verbatim responses to the question, along with basic demographic information on respondents, is available here."

A Fitting Metaphor: Shakedown Stripped

Payne: The irony of Jesse Jackson's stripped SUV | themichiganview.com | The Michigan View: "Following the embarrassing news that Mayor Dave Bing’s GMC Yukon was hijacked by criminals this week, Detroit’s Channel 7 reports that the Reverend’s Caddy Escalade SUV was stolen and stripped of its wheels while he was in town last weekend with the UAW’s militant President Bob King leading the “Jobs, Justice, and Peace” march promoting government-funded green jobs.
Read that again: Jackson’s Caddy SUV was stripped while he was in town promoting green jobs.

Add Jesse to the Al Gore-Tom Friedman-Barack Obama School of Environmental Hypocrisy. While preaching to Americans that they need to cram their families into hybrid Priuses to go shopping for compact fluorescent light bulbs to save the planet, they themselves continue to live large."

And then the writer drops the hammer:

Real jobs produced big, profitable SUVs like the one Jesse prefers to ride in. His SUV has been stripped by thugs – a fitting metaphor for what Jesse and his pals have done to the auto industry for the last 35 years.

Perfect.

Basic Needs (Bumped)

Guest Post: Hyperinflation, Part II: What It Will Look Like | zero hedge: "One of the effects of Chile’s hyperinflation was the collapse in asset prices.

This would seem counterintuitive. After all, if the prices of consumer goods and basic staples are rising in a hyperinflationary environment, then asset prices should rise as well—right? Equities should rise in price—since more money is chasing after the same number of stock. Real estate prices should rise also—and for the same reason. Right?

Actually, wrong—and for a simple reason: Once basic necessities are unmet, and remain unmet for a sustained period of time, any asset will be willingly and instantly sacrificed, in order to meet that basic need."

If you never read much about hyperinflation, this is what to read. Oh, and part the first also please. And even if you think you know that it's coming you need to read it too. Capiche?

Ignored

Belmont Club - The Age of Apostasy: "So it was with some interest that I heard a human rights activist say that Maher El-Gohary’s daughter sought President Obama’s help to get the her conversion recognized before she became an adult in order to avoid liability for a more severe punishment for apostasy if she officially changed religion later. After all, if President Obama is so hot on the right to build a mosque near Ground Zero he might be expected to sympathize with a 16-year-old who just wanted to become a Christian because his “commitment to religious freedom must be unshakeable.” Of course her request was ignored."

This one is definitely a RTWT. By now it shouldn't be news to you that the Overlords have created an opaque and intimidating tangle of laws and regulations for the sole purpose of providing themselves a framework to do what they like and still call it civilization. Period.

A Tale O Little People

A nation of laws? | Questions and Observations: "According to a draft policy document now being circulated among a limited group of stakeholders, ICE chief John Morton intends to prohibit not only his officers, but also local officers with 287(g) immigration authority, from busting illegal aliens who are discovered as a result of traffic violations.

Read the document as I have – that’s pretty much what it says. They will not, except in specifically listed exceptions, issue a detainer and take into custody illegal aliens who only violate traffic laws.

They tell you that in writing. No attempt to avoid the fact that they’re simply deciding what they will and won’t enforce when it comes to the letter of the law. They’re just not going to do it.

You know, just like the DoJ decided not to enforce the laws about voter intimidation when it dropped the charges against the Philly Black Panthers caught on video tape in the act.

Apparently, the law is only for the little people and those who aren’t a favored group of the present administration and its political appointees and cronies."

Of course, there's a second and even bigger problem that would kill us even if the bureaucracy was filled with even non-bozos much less angels: LEGAL. SYSTEM. FAILURE.

There are multiple aspects to this but the largest is the fact that other than basic multiplication and a vague admiration for compound interest, lawyers are pretty much innumerate. (A small subset of lawyers are patent attorneys and typically also have engineering degrees -- obviously I'm not talking about them.)

The bottom line is that the legal code is simply way too thick, complex and contradictory to fit inside the tenable bounds of reason much less survive the judgement of complexity theory -- did I forget to mention mathematics? It would not be sustainable even if it wasn't shot through with corruption and rampant power madness. Which of course it is.

Sayonara little ones.

Hopefully you won't be shot through the back of the head and dumped in a mass grave this go around ... Did I forget to mention that Lenin was a lawyer?

COTD: The Ghost Of Thomas Jefferson

The stunning decline of Barack Obama: 10 key reasons why the Obama presidency is in meltdown – Telegraph Blogs: "Is there anyone left who has not learned that the Federal Reserve is not federal, but a private bank? Thomas Jefferson abolished one central bank, which was replaced by the Fed in 1913.

'I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs.'
Thomas Jefferson, 3rd president of US (1743 - 1826)"

This comment was found in "The stunning decline of Barack Obama: 10 key reasons why the Obama presidency is in meltdown – Telegraph Blogs".

The article is worth reading also of course. Interesting that it has 1424 comments mostly like this one ... and largely by Americans! But don't worry, our Gramscian "journOlists" aren't biased or anything and thereby causing American's to flee their product. Mais non!

Jefferson -- ironically one of the leaders of what has now become perverted into the so-called Democrat party of today -- was also the originator of this quote:

The man who reads nothing at all is better than educated than the man who reads nothing but newspapers.

How appropriate is that as a commentary on today's American Pravda!?

And finally, I leave you to look up the author of this quote:

"Congress has not unlimited powers to provide for the general welfare, but only those specifically enumerated."

Surely you might be able to guess by now?

UPDATE: The Jefferson quote at the top is apparently an amalgam of excerpts from his letters. But those who think any of this doesn't accurately convey Jefferson's thinking may want to consider this quote from a letter to John Taylor:

And I sincerely believe, with you, that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies; and that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity, under the name of funding, is but swindling futurity on a large scale."

In fact, I had posted this quote before and should have noticed the overlap...

Perhaps You Thought You Missed Something...

Nope.

Actually, it's a little more complicated than this makes it appear. The simple interpretation of the D's voting against it is an indication that there's a war within the D party about this bill and they can't get their act together even though they have the numbers to pass whatever they please. And there's lots of truth in that.

But the real reason it was so close was the D nays were able to make the best case to Pelosi that they were in the most danger of defeat this fall if they couldn't go out and have evidence to support their lies that they were against the bill.
