Nobel has lost all credibility

October 9, 2009 · Leave a Comment

What the fuck? oBBama wins the Nobel Peace Prize? For what? To encourage nuclear disarmament? Since when has the prize been given away to encourage someone to do something. This is the most laughable thing I’ve ever seen. Is the Nobel committee really that starved of candidates that they have to resort to giving it to a second-rate president that has DONE NOTHING but increase the national debt by 2 trillion dollars?!? I can’t wrap my head around it. We’re still in Iraq and Afghanistan. We’re still in Cuba. We still have nukes aimed at ever hole on earth with people breathing in it.

Lame, bizarre, sick even.

Change? My ASS!

October 8, 2009 · Leave a Comment

This image pretty much sums up what I’m sure a lot of Obama voters are feeling. They voted for change and what they got (no surprise here) was just more of the same old bullshit. Here’s my dedication to that triumph of status quo:

Hypothesis: oBBama will use H1N1 to force socialize health care

September 20, 2009 · 11 Comments

oBBama’s chief of staff has been quoted as recommending to always take advantage of a crisis. Why? Because only when there’s a crisis can government force people to take their shit. Only when people are worried about their security can government gain more ground in regulation and taxes. This was true in the Great Depression which begat the socialized New Deal programs. It is always true in war during which people turn a blind eye to internment camps, it was true after 9/11 when everyone in the country was worried about terrorists, and it was true during the economic crisis of 2008-09. In each case, there was a crisis in confidence and the government took advantage of it but increasing their control over society “for our own good.”

I have an eerie feeling about some things that I’ve been seeing recently that have to do with this crisis=government growth philosophy.

First, oBBama has received considerable flack for his shitty health care reform plan. Half the country is vehemently opposed to it and a few people like it (the others are getting paid to like it).

Second, we’ve been hearing rumors about H1N1 getting worse and that “they” are expecting a really bad pandemic.

Third, military personnel have been forced to take the flu vaccine, which indicates drastic measure in preparation for the predicted outbreak.

So, what does that mean? Nothing yet, but if there is a major outbreak of H1N1, I will look for oBBama to angle it in such a way (either by restricting vaccinations or monopolizing them through the government) that will make socialize medicine look like a good idea. I can imagine his goons monopolizing the vaccine and using it as leverage to force people into a recommended national health program.

What happens if the liberal fascists get control of the health care system is beyond the scope of this post, but I will guarantee it won’t be pretty.

I hope nothing disastrous happens, but I wouldn’t put it past the oBBama administration to use such a crisis to increase their socialized ways.

Joe the Heckler

September 11, 2009 · Leave a Comment

A lot of people are outraged by the “Joe the Heckler” outburst at Wednesday’s Joint Session sit down oBBama had. The president’s goal was to dispell all the lies about the health care bill drifting around out there. But what has gotten the most attention is Representative Joe Wilson’s dispelling of the president. When oBBama mentioned that the Dem’s health care bill would not cover illegal imigrants, Wilson yelled, “You Lie!”

Some say that the outburst was uncalled for, some say it was embarrassing, and others want Joe Wilson’s head.

But all the hubub is a joke. Why can others clap and he can’t heckle? Why can the president receive only positive reinforcement? Why the double standard about being vocal in the Joint session?

I’m all for the heckler. Heckle everyone. Of course, you need to let oBBama present his lies before you call him a liar, but Wilson did that. oBBama spoke for most of the presentation. He was aloud to present his lies quite thoroughly before Wilson heckled.

Hopefully this is a trend and more congressmen will become vocal critics during nationally televised propaganda. Then, maybe the US congress will morph into something much more substantive and entertaining, like the British Parliament:

Minimum wage deceit

July 11, 2009 · 1 Comment

This video blog from Peter Schiff reminds me of a post I made a while back:

It goes against every ounce of logic in my being to think that a minimum wage is good for people or an economy, yet people in Congress and even everyday folks on the street seem to think it’s a good idea. Well, let me explain in very clear terms MINIMUM WAGE IS BAD FOR THE ECONOMY.

The first thing that will happen when this new minimum wage bill goes through, if it does, is the people who aren’t worth $7.25 an hour will BE FIRED. Then, the real damage happens.

If you are a minimum wage proponent, I would like to ask what a fair wage should be. Is it $7.25 an hour? I don’t know anyone who makes that and everyone I know is complaining about how little they make- maybe it should be $10 an hour like it is at most Wal-Marts. Not good enough? Maybe it should be $20 an hour- that would make a lot of people happy- it’d be a pay raise for a lot of people reading this post (I like to dream that millions of people are reading).

I have an idea- let’s make the minimum wage $100 an hour- that would make 98% of the people in the US happy. What would happen with such a high minimum wage? Everyone would be fired- everyone except for the very necessary employees. Then, companies who couldn’t afford that would raise their prices, so the consumer gets to bite the big one. Inflation would skyrocket and there would eventually be 70% unemployment and nothing being produced in this country.

Well, if this progression is reasonable to see happening if the wage was upped to $100/hr., is it so far-fetched to see how raising it by a small percentage would move slightly closer to the doomsday scenario described above?

Artificial regulations on a free market ALWAYS hurt the market in the long run. I feel like most people need to go back to Economics 101 and get over this blind pseudo-altruism that helps them cope with the fact that they’re driving their Beemers over the raggedy blanket of some smelly-ass bum sticking out his hands for some spare change as long as it’s more than a five dollar bill or some food as long as it’s not Italian.

People complain that they can’t live on $5 an hour. Well, I have an idea- get another frickin job that pays more. Or, I got it, maybe pick up a skill, like smiling, and request more from your fat minimum-wage-paying boss. But I don’t buy that people can’t live on $5 an hour. People can live on much less than that- 3 BILLION humans live on less than $5 a DAY- they just eat less and have flies all over their faces. My point is that yes, people can live on $5 an hour- but they won’t be able to eat at Benihana’s every night or support their smoking habit while putting up three kids.

And, come to think of it, who are these people making minimum wage? They’re typically kids in high school (with no one to support), immigrants (I won’t get into the legality of these peeps), or lousy bums. In the case of the kids- they’re working for school or extra spending cash. In the case of the immigrants- they may need to work to support a family, but if they’re hard-working enough and can keep a job, they’re going to get a raise every year no matter what job you’re doing- eventually making a great deal more than minimum wage. Bums who can’t keep a job don’t deserve money for doing nothing.

I worked at plenty of jobs making minimum wage and I never complained about getting too little- I just acquired the skills and got a better job. It was a great learning experience. Entry level jobs aren’t meant for permanent employment- that’s why they’re called “Entry” level.

To sum up-the people making minimum wage can get by or make some sacrifices to move up in the world. Minimum wage hurts the economy by squeezing small business owners and pushing inflation, which just makes the new minimum wage outdated sooner. And a lot of people need to go back to economics class.
