The deliciously public disgrace of the Freedom-Haters

This OneUnited Bank on whose board Maxine Waters’s husband sat was up to its eyeballs in Fannie Mae – Freddie Mac shenanigans.  I can’t see any way she can spin her way out of this.

Break over; the next set begins

Posted in Barack Obama, Congress, Corruption in Congress, North Korea, Terrorism at 1:04 pm by Administrator

Blogging has been sparse lately.  I got a new computer, among other things, and you know what’s involved there – reloading applications, transferring files, deciding on what anti-malware software to use.  Also, step-daughter is in town and we’ve been showing her a good time.

Anyway, the absurdityseems to spew like Gulf oil amid the backdrop of apocalypse.  There’s the inconvienient document that would appear to undermine The Most Equal Comrade’s posture of indignation over Scotland’s release of the Lockerbie bomber.  There’s Charlie Rangel’s upcoming appearance before the House Ethics Committee.  There’s North Korea’s threat of a nuclear response the the joint  US – South Korea naval exercises.

So we have the makings of an interesting week.

And now I have to run again.   More later today, I promise.

Kimberly Strassel at the WSJ on how, after porkulus and FHer-care, the public is inclined toward a reaction other than excitement when it hears about the Most Equal Comrade signing a big, new, “historic” piece of legislation – in this case, Dodd-Frank.

I’m pretty sure it’s in no mood for cap-and-trade, which refuses to die.

We’ll see if any Pubs fall for this – and then fire them

Posted in Barack Obama, Congress, Energy policy, Environment policy at 6:58 pm by Administrator

This is the kind of juncture at which we can find out precisely the extent to which the GOP still suffers from Reasonable Gentleman Syndrome.

Per Senator Global Test, TCM had a “constructive” meeting with senators from both parties at which he said he was ready to “scale back” his energy/climate proposal to get Pubs on board.  Global Test said TCM was adamant, however, that “putting a price on carbon” was still at the core of what he intends.

There will be some RSG-afflicted Pubs who will stroke their chins and say there are merits to some portions of the FHer vision on this.  We can be sure that Grahamnesty and McLame will be in that camp.  Possibly the Maine ladies as well.  So we will have the advantage of knowing where to breathe our fire.

FHer-care redux

Posted in Congress at 6:34 pm by Administrator

Two of the most horrifying monsters in American history announce that their respective houses of Congress have agreed on the principles for financial-overhaul legislation that they expect to have on TCM’s desk by the birthday of a country that existed until recently called the United States of America.  The word is still, though, that for anybody who’s crafting it to actually understand it, they’ll have to pass it.  Dodd’s actual words: “No one will know until this in place how it actually works.”

The Freedom-Haters sat on the report

Posted in Barack Obama, Congress, Outrages of the current regime, Public opinion, health care at 1:08 pm by Administrator

Ever wonder what the real reason was for the FHer scramble to ram FHer-care through so quickly, in spite of polls, in spite of Scott Brown’s election, in spite of tea-party rallies?

These totalitarian monsters had seen the HHS report showing that it would drive up costs and went into “lockdown” to keep it from being public knowledge, at least until after passage.

This needs to be the final ruination of this regime.  This needs to render it incapable of making the slightest move on any of its other foul designs.  Let’s hope it’s the primary topic of discussion all over talk radio today. 

This is the kind of creatures we have as overlords.  We’re Americans.  We will stop them.

Why we call them Freedom-Haters – today’s edition

Posted in Congress, Socialism, health care at 12:43 pm by Administrator

Diane Feinstein and Tom Harkin intend to take care of an unfinished piece of business from the scramble to ram through the basics of FHer-care: regulating premium hikes.

Why this is bad and wrong, as in poisonous-level:

1.) It’s once again telling a private enterprise how to conduct its business

2.) It’s based on the evil notion that health care is a right.

3.) The plan is obviously to drive private insurance companies out of business

4.) It demonstrates the complete economic ignorance of the left.  When we get to this single-payer system this is clearly leading to, there will be no money for it, given that there is already no money for Medicare and Social Security.

 . . . is the newly revitalized cap-and-trade push (all the more insidious given what we know about the science, per the post below), being readied for ram-through by the usual cabal of Freedom-Haters and Reasonable Gentlemen (at least two of whom are women – from Maine).
