Glenn Beck - Melissa Harris-Perry Said Nothing Wrong

As everyone must know by now, Melissa Harris-Perry (MHP) made a fool out of herself again.  It wasn't enough for her to make a fool out of herself with the tampon earrings to protest the Texas abortion bill.  Like all the morons at MSNBC, she has to continually try to outdo herself.  Of course, she never dreamed mocking the black grandchild of Mitt Romney would come back to almost destroy her career (and the debate on that is not over).  To her credit, MHP did make, what appeared to be, a heart-felt, tearful apology for her actions.  None of the rest of the panelists in that infamous panel discussion did so.

The Republican George Soros

 

Sheldon Adelson is a name with which most Americans are not familiar.  However, I can guarantee you Newt Gingrich is very familiar with him.  Mr. Adelson, a multi-billionaire casino owner in Las Vegas, has already donated approximately $11 million to Newt Gingrich's campaign.  He is about to donate more.  A lot more.  Mr. Adelson was recently quoted as saying, "They like to trash other people. It’s unfair that I’ve been treated unfair—but it doesn’t stop me. I might give $10 million or $100 million to Gingrich.”  Basically, men such as Mr. Adelson and George Soros are capable of buying a presidential election.  But, who can win this high stakes, winner-take-all?  If I were a betting man, I'd put my money on Sheldon Adelson.  He appears even more ruthless than George Soros (if that is even remotely possible).  Strangely, Mr. Adelson is against wealthy people trying to affect elections with their wealth.  “I’m against very wealthy ­people attempting to or influencing elections,” he shrugs. “But as long as it’s doable I’m going to do it. Because I know that guys like Soros have been doing it for years, if not decades," Mr. Adelson states.  Mr. Adelson states he won't pay for a candidate to mudsling.  That would literally knock out all the Republican candidates right now if he follows through with that.


It appears Shedlon Adelson is going to financially support whoever the Republican candidate will be.  I do believe he is throwing money into a giant sinkhole called the Newt Gingrich campaign.  People have seen Gingrich for what he is; style, but no substance.  He is a panderer, playing up to whatever crowd he is speaking to at the moment.  The bigger question here, is this what the Founding Fathers intended when our constitution was written?  Is our system of electing a  president determined now by a few wealthy men or women with their own political agenda?  I'm not saying billionaires like Sheldon Adelson and George Soros don't have the right to contribute.  But, when you are contributing $10 million a pop to a candidate, how independent will that Presidential Candidate be if he is elected?  How independent has Barack Obama been with the big unions, the same unions that got him elected?  He has given them waivers on Obamacare and having the NLRB file a complaint against Boeing, in South Carolina, due to a "...nonunion production line." This complaint was later dropped.  It is evident, at least to me, wealthy people have far too much influence in our national elections.  The sad thing about it, our politicians show no inclination to stop or, at least, limit this monetary influence any time soon.

Five Political Christmas Gifts

These are my Five Political Christmas gifts to America and, to a lesser extent, the world.  These are all for fun.  But, I sincerely hope they do come true eventually.

#5.  A viable third party in the U.S. political party system.  America is in dire need of a third political party.  The Republican and Democratic parties are consumed with getting reelected.  The American people they are suppose to represent are secondary to them.  Perhaps the Tea Party will eventually break away from the Republican Party after the 2012 elections.
#4.  Crack down on activist federal judges.  Instead of making rulings according to the U.S. Constitution, we see Appellate judges ruling from their own prejudices, rather than rule of law.  An example is a federal judge in Atlanta who stated the Alabama Immigration Enforcement Law would force illegal immigrants to flee the state.  How insane is that statement?
#3.  Political Partisanship comes to an end.  This is more in line with #5 above.  No, I don't see it ever happening in my lifetime with the Republican and Democratic parties as estranged as they are right now.  But, it would be nice if both parties would occasionally work together.
#2.  The resignation or retirement of Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid.  These two left-wing radicals are greatly responsible for the bitter political infighting between both parties in Washington D.C. today.  Both have their own Socialist agenda that they are trying to perpetrate upon a traditionally Democratic America.  Both are relentless Socialists who show no sign of backing down from their dream of a United Socialist States of America.
#1.  The defeat of President Barack Obama in 2012.  Obama was the president who was suppose to bring us together.  Due to his own partisanship, he has sown more animosity between the Right and Left than any other President in recent memory.  His single-minded approach to Obamacare, at the expense of working on jobs for Americans, is costing us dearly right now.  President Obama is a Socialist in the same mode as Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi.  His defeat in November of 2012 would be the greatest early 2012 Christmas gift I could ever imagine.

Those are my political Christmas gifts to America.  Will any be realized?  I can only pray that #1 happens.  It would save this nation from further turmoil and acrimony.  Merry Christmas!

Rebels Without A Clue - Occupy Wall Street

I've refrained from commenting on this latest cause célèbre of the Left.  Occupy Wall Street is the latest "heroic" action that Leftists are taking up without a real goal or even a platform.  Usually, we see those on the Left with a stated goal.  In the 60s, it was to end the war in Southeast Asia.  In the 70s and on into the early 80s, it was about stopping nuclear power.  In the late 90s and to the present, it has been about the biggest scam ever undertaken by the Left; global warming aka climate change aka anything we want to call it.  But, the new "cause" is breathtakingly asinine.  Reporters ask many of the Occupy Wall Street (OWS) protesters just exactly what they are protesting about.  At least half don't have any idea.  The other half offer a myriad of reasons.  From corporate greed (a never-ending straw man by the left) to banks foreclosing on delinquent mortgages (without even looking at the real reason...Barney Frank) to supporting Barack Obama's reelection bid.  Yes, you read that correctly.  There is that hidden agenda that is not spoken when talking about OWS.  They seem to overlook (or are oblivous) the fact Wall Street donated heavily to the election of President Obama in 2008. 

Next time you see the OWS protesters on TV, take a good look at them.  They are using iPads, iPhones couttesy of the recently deceased and capitalist entrepreneur, Steve Jobs. They are wearing designer jeans, boots, jewelry all courtesy of grand-mommy and grand-daddy, most likely the 60s Leftists who wanted to drop out of society.  Today, those 60s radicals are mostly venture capitalists.  Like all Leftists, they speak from a position of emotion and not facts.  For example, one of the "demands" of these out of touch with reality OWS protesters is "across the board debt forgiveness for all."  Let that sink in for a moment.  What do you think that would do to even a healthy economy?  Then think what that would do to a poor economy?  It would devastate the private sector. Leftists would counter that banks, car companies and Wall St. were given "debt forgiveness."  To quote an old car rental commercial;  not exactly.   That money has to be paid back.  But, never confuse Leftists with facts.  They don't want to hear it.  Another demand is "$20.00 minimum wage."  The biggest employer of minimum wage earners are small businesses.  Small businesses are already devastated by Obamacare and are unable to hire new workers due to not knowing how they can pay the health care insurance premiums of new employees.   What would a triple increase in the minimum wage do to the small businessman?  It would turn him from small businessman to a unemployed small businessman.

This is just another example of the loony tunes dumbasses that simply don't understand that in the real world you have to live within your means.  If you decide not to do that, then you incur debt.  And when you incur debt, you have to pay it back.  These Occupy Wall Street kids and 60s gray-hairs will never understand a simple fact; there is no such thing as a free lunch.  You have to work for what you get in this world.  They want a Socialist world whereby everything is given to them by a strong, central, federal government.  If any of them had paid any attention in college, any attention at all, they would know that Socialism has never worked anywhere in the world.  Show me a Socialist nation and I will show you an economy in ruins.  But, Leftists, as usual, never let facts get in the way of a good protest.  Protesting is what Lefties do best.  In fact, it is the only thing they know how to do.
