Obama's America of Hate

Dennis Miller is a regular guest on Bill O’Reilly’s television program. For those of you who don’t know, Dennis Miller is a comedian/humorist who is actually pretty good in reaching the core of any issue. He struck a chord with me the other night. Commenting on Barack Obama he said that he doesn’t like Barack Obama anymore. He didn’t vote for him, but he liked him. When Obama was elected, Miller felt like me. I like the guy. What a great moment for America electing the first African American President. Let’s give him a chance. Miller then said that he has changed his mind about Obama. He doesn’t like him anymore, because Obama has made it clear he doesn’t like Miller; not Miller personally, but Obama has made it clear he does not like successful white guys.

And that is the message that is resonating through America now. Obama has fueled the flame of class warfare. It is a nasty business. In an article today, the uber liberal New York Times stated Obama is writing off working class Americans; translate those white blue collar Americans. You know…the ones we don’t need any more jobs for.

Can you imagine? Obama has made clear who the enemy is, at least according to him. And why are we surprised? These beliefs are absolutely representative of the radicals that were his friends prior to being elected. He can’t hide his spots anymore. He tried, but he just couldn’t do it. So now he is going to piece together a coalition based on hate…and race…and gender…and sexual preference…and class. Never did I think I would ever see a presidency based on hate.

Obama’s America is the Occupy Wall Street who are blocking people from going to work, disrupting small businesses trying to sell hot dogs or coffee, and defecating in public places. These are people whose moral compass is rooted in statism, secularism and relativism. They are anarchists, communists, socialists. Look across the tent settlements and you will see what a community organizer does. This is Obama’s America. How do you like it?

Meanwhile, he continues to sue states trying to enforce the law. He continues to fund risky ventures with public money that belong to his political cronies and are ideologically pure. He has shut down oil drilling in the gulf, stopped the Canadian pipeline to Houston, attempting to stop shale development in Ohio. This is Obama’s America of hate.

Do you have the sense that things are spinning out of control? I do. At least he isn’t trying to fool anyone any more. Now we know where he stands. If the putative unemployment is 9% and the actual unemployment is 25%, so be it. He just doesn’t care if it disrupts all that he perceives to be evil with the United States.

We now we see Obama’s vision of Hope and Change…hate for those who have…anarachy for everybody else.

Tax Tax the Christmas Trees

T’was the nite before Christmas and through the White House,

the tax planners were planning our spirit to douse.

Obamama in his kerchief was sending a fax:
"I spent us to broke. We need a new tax."

What new ways to find government coffers to please!

A brand new tax on Christmas trees.

You just can’t make this stuff up. In one of the most politically boneheaded moves I have ever seen by any administration in my lifetime, the Obama administration decided two weeks before Thanksgiving that it should tax Christmas. Can you believe it? These numb skulls actually decided to impose a 15 cent tax Christmas trees.

When I read the story for the first time on Drudge, I couldn’t believe my eyes. Obama’s administration has a reputation for being tone deaf, but taxing Christmas trees? Really? What were they thinking?

The actual story is somewhat less titillating, but disturbing none the less. A group of large Christmas tree growers decided it wanted the US Department of Agriculture to run a public relations program ala "got milk?"promoting the purchase of live Christmas trees. It lobbied the USDA to do so, and this past week the USDA decided to go along and fund this through a 15 cent per tree tax. Of course, not all tree growers wanted this. Small growers were downright opposed to it. But as in all things Obama, pick the winners and to hell with the losers. So the USDA forged ahead right into a public relations nightmare.  They could have at least waited until January to announce it for next year...like on New Year's Day when everybody was hung over.

The Obama administration retreated within forty eight hours, and put the tax on “hold” as the story began to grow legs. From the time this type of story appears on the Drudge Report to when it makes the mainstream news is usually 3 – 5 days, and this one was on the cusp. The White House issued a statement stating that this was all just a big misunderstanding…a basic Roseanne Rosanadana “nevermind” moment.  The story has since died an inglorious death it didn’t deserve and Obama and crew can now sleep at night with visions of taxed sugar plums dancing in their heads.

The tax on Christmas trees is absolutely indicative of how the Obama administration works, geared for the propagation of government programs and taxes to feed the beast. The public is secondary. Good sense is secondary. Of course there would be a tax on Christmas trees. Why not if the do-gooders can do some more of the good that the do-gooders do at your expense?

But stop and think…if they are willing to tax Christmas trees going into an election year, just imagine what they will tax after the election if he wins! But then again, they will probably say they aren’t taxing Christmas trees. They are taxing Holiday trees. Nothing like a dose of political correctness to go with your new Obama tax!!

Joyeux Noel!!!!!

NCAA Pimps and Whores

George Bernard Shaw once found himself at a dinner party, seated beside an attractive woman. "Madam," he asked, "would you go to bed with me for a thousand pounds?" The woman blushed and rather indignantly shook her head.

"For ten thousand pounds?" he asked. "No. I would not." "Then how about fifty thousand pounds?" he contined.

The colossal sum gave the woman pause, and after further reflection, she coyly replied: "Perhaps." "And if I were to offer you five pounds?" Shaw asked.

"Mr. Shaw!" the woman exclaimed. "What do you take me for!" "We have already established what you are," Shaw calmly replied. "Now we are merely haggling over the price."

I noticed during a commercial during the LSU - Alabama game on Saturday that "I'd rather see ya in a Kia" is the "official" car company of the Southeast Conference. Wow!! Who knew that the Southeast Conference needed an official car company? The financial terms of the deal were not disclosed, but one can surmise that it was more than a grand or two.

This piggy backed on Saturday's report that Penn State's former defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky was arrested for years of sexual abuse of minors. Along with Sandusky, the Penn State Athletic Director Tim Curley and Gary Schulz, Vice President for Finance and Business, were also charged for covering up the incidents. Coach Joe Paterno was aware of some of this, and made a single report to his boss, which he was required legally to do...then did nothing. My oh my oh my.

Let's see. This is on top of an NCAA investigation of the University of Miami related to big money prostitution excursions provided to Hurricane football players by a man serving extended prison time for running a Ponzi scheme close to, but not quite as big, as Bernie Madoff's.

To paraphrase George Bernard Shaw...NCAA, we've already established what you are. Now we are negotiating the price.

Now let me see, while the SEC is selling itself to Kia Motors, and Penn State is pimping young boys, and the University of Miami is providing high priced hookers to players....Ohio State is forced to sack Jim Tressel because several of his players exchanged memorabilia that they owned for tattoos.

I rest my case.
