Can’t We All Get Along – Evidently Not!

   The mantra when this administration began was -  we have finally all come together.

   Still think so?  It is becoming more and more apparent to the people of this country – divide and conquer is real.  You can blame one side or the other; the facts are before us all.  We  are less together as a nation than anytime “I” can remember. 

   Personally I think it is a strategy.  I believe that if all these threats are in fact happing to Democrat party members somebody would be arrested.  In other words, I do not believe there are Democrats being threatened any more than any other party. 

   Yup, divide and conquer – think about it; it is happening right before our eyes.  Saul Alinsky a community organizer based  out of Chicago. He was an advocate of Socialism and Communism and wrote “Rules for Radicals”.  The agitator's job, according to Alinsky, is "first to bring folks to the realization that they are miserable, their misery is a result of greedy corporations, help bond them together and demand what they deserve from said greedy corporations".

  Question for the day – who, pray tell, does Alinsky’s definition of an agitator sound like in today’s world?  Hmmmmm?

The Sun Came Up This Morning

   Yup, healthcare passed and the sun is shining.  Dunno how it happened, but what will be will indeed be.

   First and foremost, you have to give the Democrat Party credit for getting it passed.  I don’t care if you are Democrat or Republican – you must give credit where and when it is due.  You may not like it, but they got it “ D O N E “!!

   Now the American people are anxiously waiting for their health care premiums to go down an average of $2400.00 per year.  This was promised by The President.  Americans are waiting for health care costs to go down as they were promised by both President Obama and the Democrat Congress.  Ladies and gentlemen, it is going to be alooong wait. 

   The lawsuits will now ensue – personally I don’t expect any of them to be successful, but they will ensue and be in litigation for years.  And next on the agenda?  Making the [illegal] immigrants [legal].  New voters are going to be required to sustain the momentum.

Nastiness Outside The Halls

So, tonight when the evening news came on, they teased the fact there was a congressman spat upon, another called the 'n' word, and yet another who was yelled at for his chosen sexual orientation. So "I" of course watched with baited breath to see these dastardly acts.
Alas, no 'n' word sound, no sign of spittle, and no sound of a sexual epithet. I felt let down and began to wonder if these things really happened. What do you think?
In today's society, where they have hate crimes for everything, doncha think somebody would have been arrested, or at least had their pee pee smacked? Just wondering and wondering.

Amazing Interview

   The interview of President Obama conducted by Fox’s Bret Baier was a classic. It was ‘the’ first  time “I” have seen anyone drill down with President Obama, no matter the subject.  I think the pressing clearly rattled Mr. Obama and it was interesting to see him taken off point.

   Do you wonder why The President went on Fox?  Well, one of the headlines today said The Cartoon Network had higher ratings than CNN ‘and’ MSNBC.  So, I guess his thought process was to go where people are actually watching.  I’m thinking that anyone who normally watches Fox is already up on the thrust of things in general.  Accordingly, what they saw may have worked against The President. 

   I see today, a headline in Seattle says Walgreen stores there, effective April 16th will no longer take any prescriptions from Medicaid patients.  You are beginning to see the fruit of this fiasco before it even happens.  Hang on folks, tis gonna git choppy out there.

The Census Form

So mine came yesterday; I filled it out and wrote a small note on the exterior.  The note said:  The occupants of this house are here illegally, but don’t tell anyone.

I will wait for a response. If you never hear from me again…. smile_shades

Chief Justice Roberts

   The Chief Justice is being roundly criticized by the media for talking about President Obama in  disparaging terms.  Herewith just a few facts.

1)  It is, has been, and always will be OK for a President to disagree with The Supreme Court.  Happens all the time and I expect it to continue happening. 

2)  The major difference in this case is, President Obama chose to make his comments in hostile territory. He made his comments when members of the Democrat Party openly stood and jeered, booed and chided the Supremes who were in attendance.

3) Chief Justice Roberts had kept his mouth shut until asked a direct question while giving a talk to an Alabama college.  His answer was not rude, it was not disparaging; his answer was an open and honest discourse on how he was concerned. 

The Chief Justice would be well advised to keep himself and his associates away from future speeches in the well of the Congress.

The Honorable Jim Bunning

Paygo

   The fact there are no republicans standing up and aligning themselves with Senator Bunning PROVES they are no more ready than the democrats to be fiscally responsible. For crying in the sink.  This legislation was just passed in February of 2010 <A.D.>. 

   Bunning is dead on in his steadfastness.  I doubt he will be able to stand the pressure much longer, but he has my applause. 

   And for the record – nobody is gonna lose their unemployment bennies and the people from the transportation department furloughed will be getting their pay reinstated with ZERO loss.  Bet on it!!!
