Nobody’s Perfect: Congresstional Leaders

Nobody’s Perfect

I was thinking tonight that many of my readers might consider my decision to never vote again as…unpatriotic, bordering on the verge of “sore loser”, immaturity…or just plain daft. (That’s me…all those years I voted…)

So, let me put some backbone into this decision, which I have come to with heavy heart. Let’s just say, I have voted in all elections, local and Presidential since I started voting at the age of 21. I don’t think it much matters anymore, simply because, it’s the party leaders who control the issues, and they do not represent America. They really don’t. No matter who gets voted in, it’s the majority leaders that control the show. As P.J. O’Rourke noticed so very long ago in his book “Parliament of Whores” our top Congressional leaders really are…whores. They work for the biggest bribe. Not necessarily the majority, but the leaders of the House and Senate are, and THEY are the ones who are controlling the direction of the country. They decide which bills even make it to the floor.

Let’s take an historical view of these men, who have been given the gift of commanding leadership in the House or Senate:

From “Screwed” by Dick Morris.

The latest trend in the world of special interests is to hire former members of Congress as lobbyists. Especially those who have been in leadership positions. Former Congressional leaders bring experience invaluable relationships and in some instances, raw political power to their clients.

Since 1977, with only one exception, Bill Frist, every single retired Senate Majority leader– George Mitchell, Robert Dole, Trent Lott and Tom Daschle has gone through the revolving door on Capitol Hill that goes from the Congress to a lobbying firm. And many of them represent foreign governments.

Remember them all—

Trent Lot and Louisiana Senator John Breaux have joined Patton, Boggs, the mega lobbying firm. They represent China, Korea, Cyprus, Albania, Cameroon, Ecuador, and Sri Lanka.

Bob Dole lobbied for the Taiwan government.

George Mitchell lobbied for Dubai, the UAE and Turkey, until he became Obama’s special envoy to the Middle East.

Bob Livingston represents Libya, Turkey, and Egypt. Gaddafi paid him $360,000. He has his own lobbying group called The Livingstone Group.

The Podesta Group lobbying firm, is headed by the brother of President Clinton’s former chief of staff.

House Leadership Dennis Hastert and his son are lobbyists. Newt Gingrich says he doesn’t lobby,  but he earned over $40 million by ‘consulting. ‘ He was “consulting” Fannie and Freddie right before they crashed.

Dick Gephardt has his own lobbying firm— the Gephardt Group. Turkey paid Dick $100,000 a month to defeat his own Armenian resolution, which was to put on record the Armenian slaughter of millions by the Turkey government. For those of you not familiar: Turkey: Muslims: Armenians, Christians.

Now that Dick has his own firm he only charges them $70.000 a month. Dick also represents China.

Richard Perle was hired by Gaddafi for $3 million. He was the chairman of the Defense Policy Board under Donald Rumsfeld.

GE spends $40 million on lobbyists and pays no taxes because Jeffery Immelt is Obama’s jobs czar. GE has more employees abroad than here.

“Lobbyists routinely make campaign contributions to the members of Congress who have the power to help their foreign clients. Even though we have strict laws that prohibit the donation of foreign funds to federal campaigns. ” D.M.

So, there you go. Nobody Thinks that historically speaking, the reason our country is going downhill is because those in charge are working for other governments..and getting rich off the proceeds.

And who is the biggest lobbyist of them all? Obama. He lobbies for the Muslim Brotherhood. Before he became President an Arab Prince declared that a Muslim would be placed in the White House.

What oil money can buy….

They are busting  up America, and selling her off bit by bit.

They say it’s in the name of free trade and globalization, but it’s only in the interests of a select few.

After having said all that: You could say,  “But Joyanna, we can VOTE THEM OUT!”

You keep thinking that. You just…keep thinking that if you just keep voting, someday..you’re going to get that big bone.

This old dog realizes that I might not be able to learn any new tricks, but I don’t have to keep falling for the old ones.

That bone is fake.

Nancy Pelosi Forgets…Her BIG Gavel.

Nobody’s Perfect

Remember, in my last post I was talking about the people who just NEVER seem to go away? Well…Nancy Pelosi makes another great “gaff” in the history of stupid poltical statements.

Really, she’s has GOT to stop spending weekends with Joe.

Someone suggested that humans are just too ignorant to control anything…in the end, it’s who you know I guess, and if you know the right person, then you get the job. So, Nobody Asks: Was it just a random fluke that Nancy Pelosi is STILL in the Congress and is now surrounding herself with a bunch of …dimwitted ninny’s to run the country? Were these women voted in?

Did a nation of ninny’s vote in a rather clueless woman leader in Australia?

What’s with all these women? The worst of this video was cut out. Everyone is laughing at the fact that Nancy, in her own mind, STILL believes that she is the leader of the house, and after the REAL leader of the house making the comment that the tea party is dead, ( GOP John Beohner) I think she is right. But..then watch…Nancy giggles like a little girl…and comes out of it with the ‘unity’ nonsense.

It’s what she said BEFORE that little giggle that was annoying.

  • Pelosi touted the diversity of the new caucus, which grew to nearly 200 Democrats after last Tuesday’s election, boasting that it was the first caucus “in the history of civilized government to have a majority of women and minorities.” The party caucus in 2013, she said, would have 61 women, 26 Hispanics, 11 Asians, and five gay, one bisexual and 43 black members.
  • “With these new members, the tea party starts to roll back and problem-solving starts to move forward,” Israel said. “And that’s what this election was all about.”

Nobody Thinks that this ‘majority of women and minorities” is a direct hint at the ‘diversity’ bar that you…dirty, corrupt, white, and conservative man and woman, have to take heed to. Be forewarned: You may be the majority in numbers…but you are not represented anymore. They…don’t…like you.

Like the REAL gavel holder John Boehner, Nancy thinks the tea party is …gone. Somewhere in the halls of one of her many estates is the gavel she carried up the steps of Congress in order to bully the “tea party” people into accepting Obamacare.

The tea party is just another name for Americans who do not want the country to change into some kind of fascist dictatorship.

Nobody Wonders Why…Why are all these women ‘placed’ in power? And WHY is it again, that a bunch of people who come from so many different languages and cultures and can now rule a country, is a good thing?

I have my own Nobody Opinion, but I’d like to hear yours.

Nobody’s Perfect: Who’s Better At Supplying Weapons to our Ememies?

Nobody’s Perfect:

It’s the Democrats VS the Republican this week, in Nobody’s Perfect“Who can supply the most weapons to the most enemies?”

Which party keeps us safer? Who do you think?

Obama just can’t seem to quit sending guns to the rest of the world. As we all know, he armed the Libyan rebels and they turned right around and killed our ambassador…THANK YOU VERY MUCH MR. PRESIDENTE! He did the same thing with Fast and Furious, and bodies are falling all over the place from the guns given courtesy of Obama.

Who knows what weapons he is giving away in Las Vegas at the moment? Is he arming the Unions?

Nobody Knows why Obama wants to give guns away to drug cartels, and al-Qaeda thugs, who are both REALLY bad groups of people, but he just can’t seem to help himself. Now, we are supplying weapons to Syria.

It’s illegal. It’s outrageous…arming known enemies..but Obama does it in the name of “freedom” fighters.

Well, Ronald Reagan did that too. And got lynched for it. Where’s the press on this? How come when Reagan gave weapons to free hostages he was a ‘War Mongol’ but Obama can arm every Jihadist in the Middle East and he is a “freedom fighter”?

The only “freedom” he is giving is the freedom for our enemies to kill us with our own weapons.

Reagan sent weapons to free American hostages in Iran.  The guns sent to Nicaragua were to fight against the communists, which ARE enemies of the United States. This was a real fight for freedom-(Whether he knew it or not.)

Obama is arming our sworn enemy Al Qaida, in the Middle East with weapons, and nobody is putting up much of a stink about it.

American Presidents have had a bad habit of giving Muslims like Bin Laden and Saddam Hussein  WMD’s and all kinds of weapons— and what has it gotten us?

A lot of good American men dead.

And while Obama is busy arming the Muslim nations, he is cutting our defense here at home.

 The Obama administration issued guidance Friday that said defense firms’ costs would be covered if they have to lay off workers due to canceled contracts under the across-the-board cuts set to take effect Jan. 2.

The guidance prompted Lockheed Martin — which had previously threatened to send out notices of potential layoffs to all of its 123,000 employees — to say Monday it would not send notices this year under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act.

So, let me get this straight: Obama wants to be reelected, so he has asked the defense companies that he is cutting from the budget to NOT fire anybody, and if they get sued, Obama will make the American taxpayer pay their damages? It makes you wonder if Lockheed has a sweet business deal worked out with the Muslims Brotherhood.

This reminds me of something. When it comes to giving weapons away Bill Clinton had everybody beat. He got together with Lockheed and Boeing once before. They sold China the weapons technology they would EVER need to hurt us. He just went through the Commerce Department. Congress didn’t even have a say.

Before Clinton, the Chinese were forty years behind us. Now they can nuke  every American  city. Hey, thanks Bill!

Bill Clinton also gave North Korea all the plutonian it needed to make nuclear warheads, which in turn helped Iran and Iraq build up.

And YOU thought that impeachment was all about Monica.

When it comes to putting us in REAL danger…the Democrats win.

While millions of veterans are waiting years for their disability checks, Obama is at this very minute, spending over $5 billion dollars just for the three days he is spending in Las Vegas to practice his “debates.”

Just think: He could stay at the White House and practice, for that three days, and with the money saved, he could send a check to every man who has given his service to his country.

So far, the Veterans Department has only given out…to ALL veterans: 5 billion. Yep, —that’s three days of Vegas for Obama.

But..hey! It’s VEGAS man! Beyonce is waiting! So what if the veterans are committng suicides? There are fundraisers to go to!

So—-when the armed and dangerous enemies of America come to attack us…

WHO YOU GONNA CALL? Whose giving away more weapons and technology to the rest of the world?

Democrats win. And you…good American terroist patriot that you are…lose.

(Hi NSA!)

Ethanol: You Might As Well Eat Your Gas Tank

Nobody Wins

Remember the first Thanksgiving?

The INDIANS brought a bumper crop of corn. CORN.  Who doesn’t like corn? It feeds the world, and the corn here in the United States has been feeding the world for quite some time now.

When President George W. Bush said he was going to give money to the farmers to develop FUEL out of corn instead of using it for food, let’s just say, I thought he was drinking again. Hourly. Hard Vodka.

Really? Haven’t we been hearing from the acid trippers who grew up and took over the country that there are just too many people in the world?

Isn’t it a good idea to keep that corn coming?

The world’s population is growing so, therefore, we need more food. And the U.S. government mandated to make that corn into ethanol.

Brilliant.

The outcry from our Congress on the suggestion that we take our nation’s food and make it into fuel was so strong and powerful, it was like a shot heard round the world!

Remember?

You don’t?

Well, that’s because…it didn’t happen. Nobody even peeped.

Thanks to the ethanol mandate, more than 40 percent of the nation’s corn crop now goes into the production of a useless fuel that hardly anyone would buy if the government didn’t require it. That’s up from just 17 percent in 2005, before the mandate went into effect. Only 36 percent of the corn crop now goes for feed, and 24 percent goes for food. The higher corn prices caused by the mandate and the drought have also driven up the price of ethanol by 33 percent since May, which means — again, thanks to the mandate — higher gas prices at the pump.

But even environmentalists rejected ethanol long ago, when scientists established that it actually increases carbon and smog emissions.

And that’s not all. Ethanol is causing excessive wear in things, like our vehicles. Ethanol eats and corrodes the rubber parts, like hoses, gaskets, and seals.

This excerpt from an email: (Thanks to Tom Beebe)

This is another government program that does more harm and no good. The purpose was to save fuel, however since the ethanol has to be added later, it has to be trucked to the distribution site, (more diesel) then added at that time and trucked again to the local filling stations. With a 10% decrease in gas mileage, it causes a 10 increase in fuel consumption plus the extra cost of manufacturing and distribution of the ethanol. It has caused world food prices to sky rocket, and now with the drought in the mid-west, those costs are going to be even higher. The ethanol business could not survive if it were not for the federal mandate. Another government idea run amuck. Another problem that was mentioned, is that the hoses are rotting and leaking on engines and starting fires. It does seem that more cars are burning up in the last few years.

 

It turns out gasoline with ethanol does not give as good of a gas mileage as pure gasoline, most are saying a 10% decrease in gas mileage. Plus the ethanol is corrosive to rings pistons and valves over time (decreasing mileage even more), not to even mention the problem of letting set around a while.

 

So…not only are we paying more for gas, we will be paying more for just about EVERYTHING ELSE, because our politicians are either:

1. Idiots, and are getting greedy paybacks and votes to mandate our food to be turned into useless fuel…

2. Not idiots, because they real agenda is to destroy half the planet, because in doing so, they will all get richer.

3. Both of the above.

Too bad we can’t fire them all.

So…what does Obama do with this heavy loss of food? Take the mandate off because he doesn’t want people to starve?

Noooooooooooooooooooooo

Why, he’s giving money to all the farmers who lost their crops, because THAT will get their vote!

Face it, he just likes to give out money.

President Barack Obama, campaigning in Iowa today, announced $170 million in government meat purchases to help farmers struck by drought, helping to send hog prices to a one-week high.

The purchase of as much as $100 million of pork, $50 million of chicken, and $10 million each of lamb and catfish come on top of $30 million in assistance announced last week. Farmers and ranchers are struggling with the worst combination of heat and dryness since the 1950s, the administration said.

Add that to the billions of dollars he sent to black farmers (who were not really farmers) and you have a cash cow called the American Taxpayer to help buy you votes.

Nobody Wins when politicians use taxpayer’s money to buy votes. But they all do it.

The Office of the President has gotten WAY too much power.

Maybe we do need a Queen.

At this point, I’d settle for a pig as a mascot.

Nobody’s Fool: Thomas Sowell

Nobody’s Fool

I came upon this man almost by accident. My mother ordered a publication called Newsmax around the year 2000, and I started reading it. It’s there that I found a man with so much wisdom, and common sense, that I literally started waking up to what was going on around me. This was back when President Clinton was shaking his finger at the American people.

Just last week, in his usual Radom Thoughts column he had these two things to say:

If we wake up some morning and find some American cities in radioactive ruins, courtesy of a nuclear Iran, nobody is going to care whether the president who lets this happen is the first black president or the last WASP president. But, in the meantime, many people will keep on voting for symbolism, as if an election is a popularity contest, like choosing a college’s Homecoming Queen or Parade Marshal.

Two reports came out in the same week. One was from the Pentagon, saying that, in just a few years, Iran will be able to produce not only a nuclear bomb but a missile capable of carrying it to the United States. The other report said that the American Olympic team has uniforms made in China. This latter report received far more attention, both in Congress and in the media.  

While I read many different books and magazines, internet blogs, etc…I have yet to find a man whose wisdom exceeds that of Thomas Sowell. To me, he is right up there with Mark Twain as an American Journalistic Icon. He is forever more— Nobody’s Fool.

Nobody’s Email: AZ Gop, Gets Constitution Lesson

Nobody Gets Email

Watch how he is blasted by an older woman, who really knows her stuff.

Enjoy!

Nobody’s Fool: Rep. Darrell E. Issa

Nobody’s Fool

Here’s a man who gives us all heart…. Congressman Darrell Issa is no fool. Most everyone knows that the Democrats have wanted for years to get rid of our guns. It’s not an easy task, because if there is one country in the world that is heavily armed, it’s America.  Fast and Furious was a Marxist ends to a means…which is how the progressives always do everything. In secret.

I didn’t know anything about Issa until lately, Heck…who knew that San Diego HAD a republican representative? This video was taken before they slapped a contempt charge on Holder, but if you watch this, you will see Holder do the same thing we saw during the Clinton years…deny, delay, and shred any evidence. The Clinton’s broke so many laws it made your head spin. You will also hear Sheila Jackson do her little dirty work.

Holder refuses to hand over simple emails. If he didn’t have something to hide, he’d hand them over, right? Obama is now claiming “executive privilege.”  Issa explains in this video why that is sheer nonsense, and can’t be done. (But he does it anyway.)

 “Until now, everyone believed that the decisions regarding Fast and Furious were confined to the Department of Justice,” said Michael Steel, spokesman for House Speaker John A. Boehner, Ohio Republican. “The White House decision to invoke executive privilege implies that White House officials were either involved in the Fast and Furious operation or the cover-up that followed.”

“The only thing extraordinary about his offer is that he is asking the committee to close its investigation before it even receives the documents,” committee chairman Darrell Issa, R-Calif., said during the contempt vote hearing. “I can’t accept that deal.”

Good for Mr. Issa. You are hearing the liberal pigs squeal…”Oh…how unfair! This is about keeping Obama out of office! Depriving poor people from voting! Keeping people fat!”

Okay, Pelosi didn’t say it was keeping people fat.  She just hasn’t thought of it yet.

So, I’m a new fan of Mr. Issa. We need to elect MORE men like him.

The video goes fast…and it gets really good at near the end. Nobody is going to watch it again!

Nobody Remembers Donna Summers— or Maybe Not

Nobody Remembers

If you think that May the 18th is just another day, remember as you grab that morning energy drink…lots of things have happened in history on May 18, and here’s some of my Nobody thoughts on them;

On May 18….

1096 Crusaders massacre Jews of Worm.

(The Jews lived in a city called ‘Worm?’ When you think of the shape of Israel, sort of could look like a worm. Those &$%$ crusaders.)

1291 Sultan of Egypt & his son take last Christian stronghold of Acre(Yes, not only the worm living Jews, the Acre Christians were attacked. And YOU think it’s over? HA!)

1631 John Winthrop is elected 1st governor of Massachusetts.

(Good old John Winthrop. He was John Adams old schoolmaster and he taught a lot of those revolutionary giants. Goes to show you what a good teacher can do when he’s left alone.)

1642 Montreal Canada founded

(On May the 18th a great city was born…and then…)

1765 Fire destroys a large part of Montreal, Quebec.

(23 years later somebody sets it on fire, on the same day anniversary. I bet it was one of those nasty crusaders.) 

1756 England declares war on France

(Which is bound to happen again sooner or later. I give it a few more years.)

1803 Britain declares war on France after Napoleon Bonaparte continues interfering in Italy & Switzerland

(So, England became Britain? (?)Even back then, nations used to DECLARE war. They don’t do that anymore. That was a nice thing…you know…official war declarations. Remember those?)

1804 Napoleon Bonaparte proclaimed Emperor of France

(It must have been hard crowning that little head yourself. )

1830 Edwin Budding of England signs an agreement for manufacture of his invention, lawn mower. Saturdays are destroyed forever.

(Man writing these historical records, actually has a sense of humor.)

1860 Republican Party nominates Abraham Lincoln for president.

(And to this DAY, all Democrats proclaim him to be their savior, but forget to mention that he was a Republican)

1863 Siege of Vicksburg, MS

(Three years later to the day, Abe has big problems.  Three years later…Obama main worry is student loans.)

1897 Irish Music Festival 1st held (Dublin)

(Think I’ll get drunk, dance Irish jigs, and mow the lawn today.)

1897 Dracula, a novel by Irish author Bram Stoker is published.

(Continuing forever endless teen vampire movies where blood sucking is a good thing.)

1910 Passage of Earth through tail of Halley’s Comet causes near-panic

(Same thing happens when Obama smokes and parties in the White House.)

1927 – Grauman’s Chinese Theater opens in Hollywood California.

(Jackie Chan was actually there.)

1933 On the very same day, May 18th..The Tennessee Valley Act (TVA) Act signed by FDR, to build dams and the 1st major league All-Star Game announced for July 6 at Comiskey Park that it will be played as part of the Chicago World’s Fair.

(Proving once again, that Major League Baseball has survived floods, steroids, and socialist dictators)

1934 Congress approves “Lindbergh Act,” makes kidnapping a capital offense

(Uh…they needed CONGRESS to make it a capitol offense? What was it before Congress stepped in..an interesting babysitting story?)

1934 Jimmie Foxx hits 1st HR in Comiskey Park center field bleachers

(Back then, the steroid was beer and peanuts, but Jimmie swore before Congress that he did not drink or eat. )

1934 – TWA began commercial service

(And millions of men finally dreamed of flying a stewardess. It was where Hugh Hefner got his idea for the Playboy club. Honest. Really. He just added the rabbits. )

1948 – Saudi Arabia joins invasion of Israel

(There was an ‘invasion?’ And WHO did they join? Was it because of the Worm again?

1953 1st woman to break sound barrier (Jacqueline Cochrane, USA)

(No…that was actually Ethel Merman)

1954 European Convention on Human Rights goes into effect

(I thought this was important so that we all remember the date. Now, the European Union gives no human “rights.” to anyone unless they are part of the elite rulers. You’ve come a long way, EU.)

1963 – “If You Wanna Be Happy” by Jimmy Soul hits

(Never make a pretty woman your wife!) I love that song.

1964 – Supreme Court rules unconstitutional to deprive naturalized citizens of citizenship if they return to home country for more than 3 years

(Somebody call Singapore)

1967 Silver hits record $1.60 an ounce in London and Gene Roddenberry suggests 16 names including Kirk for Star Trek Capt.

(He also suggested that Spock be the first gay alien, but they were not very hip back then.)1971 – Pres Nixon rejects 60 demands of Congressional Black Caucus

(Good for him. The black caucus now demands the whole country and all its wealth, and pretty much gets it. By the way…All they really needed to do is make just ONE demand—like the rest of us–resign.) 

1980 – Mount St Helens blows its top in Washington State, 60 die

(Some because they were just too stupid, to get out of the way)

1994 – Israel withdraws from the Gaza Strip

(After the Worm trouble, I wouldn’t have.)

1998 United States v. Microsoft: The United States Department of Justice and 20 U.S. states file an antitrust case against Microsoft.

(Bill Gates VS Janet Reno…Those were the good old days. Now we have The American Tea Party People VS Eric Holder)

Okay…that’s enough. Too much information? Well, you can always watch old Donna Summers video tapes…or an eclipse.You can never get bored..on May 18. History is a full circle of loons.

(Now, wasn’t this more fun than me telling you how many times I had to sing “She Works Hard for the Money.” to a lot of really drunk, irish people? Really, I don’t remember. )

Nobody Gets Email, and Nobody Gets Angry.

Nobody Gets Email

I just watched this and I am furious. Like most Americans I am on a budget. This week I have to buy a car…but tonight I looked into the taxes on a “new” car and I was floored.  It’s no wonder everyone is driving their cars into the ground….we have to pay over $1600 dollars to the IRS…just to get the car we want.

And then I saw this: The IRS and our politicians, know this is happening (illegals getting huge tax returns) and yet, they want to throw grandma and grandpa into the Obamacare cesspool. Now, American taxpayers are supporting children in Mexico. Hopefully somebody like Hannity or Malkin will take this issue up and demand answers.

This Nobody will be very busy tomorrow…because I still haven’t found a car…and time is ticking…so tomorrow the usual “Nobody’s Opinion” column will have to be delayed for another week. I am still in the “ucky brown” color code of the population so I have to shop around..and I plan to be on the road the whole day.

But, …Nobody’s Perfect should be up on Tuesday.

(Thanks to Tom Beebe)  And yes, I’m STILL …angry.

Nobody’s Email: How to Fix Congress

Nobody Got Email

(Do you dream of a government that works? Do you also dream that you had a one night stand with Brittany Spears and she fell madly in love with you and gave you all her money? Can we all go to sleep and wake up in 1980 again and start over?Can I go back in time and marry John Lennon?)

Nobody always likes it when I get emails from my liberal friends, because it’s a good sign that they are also fed up with the power and the glory. Trouble is: they think the Republicans are the problems of Congress, not the democrats. Here’s an email, that claims that Warren Buffet made this up and sent it around the internet. I doubt it serioulsy, (some girl named Rosie did it) but it does have very good suggestions.  The chances of any Congrass voting themselves out of big pensions, raises, term limits, health care, and cushy travel expenses are about the same as you or I winning the lotto, or Michael Moore marrying Joe Biden.

But we can dream can’t we?

(Thanks to JR)

Warren Buffet in a recent interview with MSNBC suggested these things. “I could end the deficit in five minutes……

“I could end the deficit in 5 minutes. You just pass a law that says that anytime there is a deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible for re-election.”***

The 26th amendment (granting the right to vote for 18 years-olds) took only 3  months and 8 days to be ratified. Why? Simple. The people demanded it. That  was in 1971, before computers, e-mail, cell phones, etc.***

Of  the 27 amendments to the Constitution, seven took one year or less to become  the law of the land, all because of public pressure.

***

Congressional Reform Act of 2012

1.  No Tenure/No Pension. A Congressman/woman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they’re out of office.

2.  Congress (past, present, & future) participates in Social Security. All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people. It may not be used for any other purpose.

3. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do.
4.  Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3% .
5.  Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people.
6.  Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people.
7.  All contracts with past and present Congressmen/women are void effective by 6/1/12. The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen/women. Congress made all these contracts for themselves. Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their terms then go home and back to work.
This is how you fix Congress!

Nobody’s Fool:Super-Congress

 

 Nobody’s Fool

 

The World’s elite politicians are very, very clever. Yesterday, the EU was bailed out once again. The stock market will rise for a while, and then crash again. Sometime, the inevitable will have to come. All leaders of the Western world, will have to tell their huddled masses that, “Hey, we need to raise taxes to pay back the money. We need to balance the budget.” 

This means, pensions will be cut, (not theirs of course) wages will come down, and taxes will need to be raised…across the board. This suggestion has come from our Super-Committee— a committee which is unconstitutional so therefore every single man and woman on that board cannot be sued for what they are about to do. Since the committee is by-partisan, neither party will take the blame for anything they do. They are an elite panel, without a check or balance anywhere. The Supreme Court should have instantly made the whole lot of them illegal according to the Constitution– but gee…where’s the outrage?

Did they invent this super-committee becasue both parties don’t get along, or because neither party wanted to be blamed for the upcoming high taxes?


“Where in the world did that come from?” Ron Paul demanded after the Super committee idea was floated. “And where is that going to lead to? That is monstrous. I keep looking and I can’t find any place in the Constitution where we have the authority to create such a creature as the super Congress.”
Like I said…very clever, our Congress, for setting up a scapegoat to take the “pain” of what they intent to do. After all….it’s like no-fault divorce. Nobody gets blamed. Everyone can get re-elected.

The first place they will cut, is health care for the old. When Obama said, “the old should just let go” he was talking about not giving them the medical care available to prolong their lives. And while they sold it on keeping people alive on life support, it could be a simple cancer screening test that they will deny you. Obama IS a Marxist.  
That’s a Marxist’s mantra…the individual makes way for the good of the many. Even the Bushes ingnored Terry Schiavo as she lay dying. It’s all about where to cut…it’s all about the money. The Republicans see the writing on the wall too.

Any call for taxing the rich (an idea fronted by billionaire Warren Buffett and adopted by grateful Democrats) will naturally result in further eroding the middle class. Most of the “rich” who will fall under the gun (literally) are millionaires who own businesses that provide most of the jobs in this country. Billionaires and the mega-rich like the Rockefellers and the Gates don’t pay taxes – they sock their wealth into foundations.—Prison Planet

Yes, Bill Gates and Warren Buffet protected their vast fortunes long ago, with the GATES foundation. As does Bill Clinton. Why do you think all the sports figures have foundations? Because they are kind, loving, and want to give back to the world?

Nobody suggests we all start our own foundations, to hide  our money from taxes just like Warren and Bill. Why not? We could call it the Nobody’s Foundation, for all those nobodies in the world who want to hide their assets from the governments.

Okay, I’m a fool…but Congress? They don’t earn the big bucks for nothing…

Send Her to Washington

Nobody Cares

—about the fact that I’m a sucker for the Spanish Guitar…I saw this the other day— not only is the music wonderful, the video  made me think: Right now in the deep halls of our Congress, our politicans are circling each other like sharks—trying to balance the “budget.”

Maybe we should send this woman into the dark shallow depths of our Congress…as you can see, she is a master of Sharks!

In fact…did you how well she handled Harry Reid? And there was a great shot of Obama.

 And at the end…Nancy Pelosi is actually looking pretty good.

I know…everything is political to me. I’ll stop.

(Thanks to J.R.)
