- This is a rant about Balack Obama and his insane actions
as president. If it is going to disturb you, don't read it.
-
- First let me state for the record that we are in in 'Recession
v2.0' and it is going to turn into 'Depression V2.0'. We never got out
of 'Recession v1.0'. We are going to become what we caused Mexico to become.
Our military is going to come back somehow, hopefully with at least some
of their equipment and help us take back the country. It's to that point.
I doubt that after Kent State - and considering the feeling of every military
officer for Obama, that one soldier will ever fire on an American citizen.
I think it's unlikely that the national guard and the police will take
the side of oppression - none that I know ever will. But I need to ask
you - the people who call the police Nazis and promote hatred for them
to lighten up. Take a different road. You want the police on YOUR side
when the time comes to decide between right and wrong. You need to reach
out to individual officers and their families - to become friends - to
help them understand you and try to understand them. The policymakers
are the bad guys. The police just follow the laws - or should. Not all
do. But if the time comes, you want the loyalty of the police and national
guard to be your community - not the orders of someone 6,000 miles away.
-
- Obama did it again, but we all knew he would. Balack
Obama gave away the farm, ran the economy further into depressionville,
gained ZERO new jobs, helped ZERO unemployed and starving people, prevented
ZERO people from losing their homes to foreclosure, and demonstrated, finally
and completely that he isn't the President of the United States. IF he
gets elected again, it will be because the Republicans all vote for him,
and well they should.
-
- I am sure all the usual suspects are going to explain
why this eleventh-hour deal sucks; why it is bad for the country; why the
country probably cannot survive this debacle in it's present form, and
why there is now only one political party in Washington. I am sure that
someone will explain that, while Social Security and Medicare benefits
were not cut, there is a VERY real possibility that one of the 'deficit
triggers WILL severely cut payments to Medicare PROVIDERS. So I may have
Medicare, but no doctor or hospital will take it. It was not a compromise
bill. It was a complete failure on the part of the President to do his
sworn duty to the constitution and to the citizens of this country.
-
- I am sick to death of that bastard. News outlets and
pundits don't even call him ' Mr. President or President Obama' anymore.
They call him, simply, 'Mr. Obama'. He has lost the respect of everyone
who believed him and voted for him. He he has broken every one of them
- and capitulated even on things he didn't have to. When BP destroyed
the Gulf of Mexico, he LITERALLY gave de-facto command of the United States
Coast Guard to BP. Thaymade the rules. If the Coast guard gave them orders,
they were ignored. BP employees staffed the Command center that was supposed
to be keeping them honest retired from the Coast Guard to become a BP employee
but was allowed by the President to keep his official position as the incident
commander.
-
- He jumped in early on and took ownership of the Iraq
debacle and The Afghan disaster. I doubt he has anything like the courage
to send a SF team into Pakistan - I am sure that Leon Panetta ordered it.
I remember watching Obama in the situation room...where he was sitting
halfway back, hanging his head in his hands. Most of the time he couldn't
even look at the video stream. He didn't look presidential. He looked
frightened and cowardly.
-
- Remember DADT? He ordered the military to stop. They
talked it around for awhile and then decided not to. Remember not interfering
with a state's right to legalize and regulate marijuana? He told the Attorney
General HE appointed to let the states make their own laws. The Attorney
General ignored him. He's afraid to tell the TSA to stop abusing war heroes,
old women and putting their hands down the pants of little kids. They
won't listen to him anyway so he might as well not make a fool of himself
by trying to act like a leader when everyone knows he isn't.
-
-
- He can't tell them to get out of Afghanistan - He can't
even tell them to close Gitmo and send the few remaining people back where
they found them. He tried, but he got his hand slapped. After that he
was simply ignored.
-
- He passed a completely unworkable and irrational health
insurance plan that had the effect of TRIPLING my medical costs as of last
July and I may lose my medical insurance entirely - I can't pay for prescription
meds anymore and I can't pay the co-pay to see a doctor - which also tripled.
In fact, what I have to pay to see a doctor and get two new prescriptions
and see a physical therapist to rehab my knee cost more co-pay money than
I had - so I skipped one prescription and the physical therapist last Monday.
-
- If I had picked up my monthly prescriptions too, it would
have cost me almost $200 just in co-pay for that one day - in addition
to the $400 a month I pay for the privilege of waiting - sometimes hours
- to get shoved in and out the door as quickly as possible. That's already
$100 more than my entire social security check WHICH IS TAXABLE. Kaiser
used to be the best health plan I ever had but now it's the worst. If
I lose it, I can go to the VA. They aren't any better, but they'd NOT
help me for free and I wouldn't have to worry about waiting - because I
could never get in anyway. They are booked up 6 months or so for appointments.
-
- So Mr. Obama's health plan is going to be repealed because
it isn't workable. At some point, the Patriot act and the Bush tax cuts
are going to have to be unwound. The paramilitary forces of the TSA, the
DEA, the Department of EDUCATION, the....hell. EVERY federal agency in
existence has either gone rogue or simply ignores Obama and his pissant
appointees. They have declared war on the American people. The ATF ships
firearms to Mexico and tries to blame US firearms dealers. OK, that's
pretty obvious. They want us disarmed but they want the Mexican cartels
armed. They have accomplished that for the most part, so our entire southern
border is unsafe and we can't protect it - instead of protecting it, AMERICANS
ARE WARNED TO STAY AWAY FROM BORDER STATES! OMFG! It's dangerous! And,
of course, we are all sissies and aren't allowed to defend ourselves, our
homes, our borders or our country. So why are we in Afghanistan again?
Iraq? Why did we just give $45MILLION in military aid to SOMALIA and not
ARIZONA?
-
- It seems almost impossible to me that a person could
accidentally ruin an entire country - and the greatest country in the world
- in just four short years. He has to be doing it on purpose and I can
name his co-defendants. It is quite likely in my opinion that Tim Geithner
is an agent of a foreign government. He fought tooth and nail. along with
Summers to keep Elizabeth Warren out and the HOUR she acted like she was
going to do the job almost every American in the country wanted her to
do and trusted her to do, Obama replaced her. Instead, he talked the Supreme
court into giving corporations status as individuals. That obviously makes
no sense - corporations and individuals have completely different agendas
- but it proved that all three branches of government have been compromised
and that the checks and balances no longer exist.
-
- What is going to happen? I'll tell you. There
are three possibilities. The first is that women will be wearing the hajib
and the Constitution will have been replaced by Sharia law. The second
is that the United States will become a banana republic at best and Somalia
at worst. The third is that we will continue along the path we are on
now.
-
- And these will be your children.
-
- "Winston, come into the dining room, it's time to
eat," Julia yelled to her husband.
-
- "In a minute, honey, it's a tie score," he
answered.
-
- Actually Winston wasn't very interested in the traditional
holiday football game between Detroit and Washington.
-
- Ever since the government passed the Civility in Sports
Statute of 2017, outlawing tackle football for its "unseemly violence"
and the "bad example it sets for the rest of the world", Winston
was far less of a football fan than he used to be.
-
- Two-hand touch wasn't nearly as exciting.Yet it wasn't
the game that Winston was uninterested in.
-
- It was more the thought of eating another Tofu Turkey.
Even though it was the best type of VeggieMeat available after the government
revised the American Anti-Obesity Act of 2018, adding fowl to the list
of federally-forbidden foods, (which already included potatoes, cranberry
sauce, and mincemeat pie), it wasn't anything like real turkey.
-
- And ever since the government officially changed the
name of "Thanksgiving Day" to "A National Day of Atonement"
in 2020, to officially acknowledge the Pilgrims' historically brutal treatment
of Native Americans, the holiday had lost a lot of its luster.
-
- Eating in the dining room was also a bit daunting. The
unearthly gleam of government-mandated fluorescent light bulbs made the
Tofu Turkey look even weirder than it actually was, and the room was always
cold.
-
- Ever since Congress passed the Power Conservation Act
of 2016, mandating all thermostats - which were monitored and controlled
by the electric company - be kept at 68 degrees, every room on the north
side of the house was barely tolerable throughout the entire winter.
-
- Still, it was good getting together with family. Or at
least most of the family.
-
- Winston missed his mother, who passed on in October,
when she had used up her legal allotment of life-saving medical treatment.
-
- He had had many heated conversations with the
- Regional Health Consortium, spawned when the private
insurance market finally went bankrupt, and everyone was forced into the
government health care program.
-
- And though he demanded she be kept on her treatment,
it was a futile effort.
-
- "The RHC's resources are limited", explained
the government bureaucrat Winston spoke with on the phone. "Your mother
received all the benefits to which she was entitled. I'm sorry for your
loss."
-
- Ed couldn't make it either. He had forgotten to plug
in his electric car last night, the only kind available after the Anti-Fossil
Fuel Bill of 2021 outlawed the use of the combustion engines - for everyone
but government officials.
-
- The fifty mile round trip was about ten miles too far,
and Ed didn't want to spend a frosty night on the road somewhere between
here and there.
-
- Thankfully, Winston's brother, John, and his wife were
flying in.
-
- Winston made sure that the dining room chairs had extra
cushions for the occasion..
-
- No one complained more than John about the pain of sitting
down so soon after the government-mandated cavity searches at airports,
which severely aggravated his hemorrhoids.
-
- Ever since a terrorist successfully smuggled a cavity
bomb onto a jetliner, the TSA told Americans the added "inconvenience"
was an "absolute necessity" in order to stay "one step ahead
of the terrorists."
-
- Winston's own body had grown accustomed to such probing
ever since the government expanded their scope to just about anywhere a
crowd gathered, via Anti-Profiling Act of 2022.
-
- That law made it a crime to single out any group or individual
for "unequal scrutiny," even when probable cause was involved.
-
- Thus, cavity searches at malls, train stations, bus depots,
etc., etc., had become almost routine.
-
- Almost.
-
- The Supreme Court is reviewing the statute, but most
Americans expect a Court composed of six progressives and three conservatives
to leave the law intact.
-
- "A living Constitution is extremely flexible",
said the Court's eldest member, Elena Kagan. "Europe has had laws
like this one for years. We should learn from their example", she
added.
-
- Winston's thoughts turned to his own children.
- He got along fairly well with his 12-year-old daughter,
Brittany, mostly because she ignored him. Winston had long ago surrendered
to the idea that she could text anyone at any time, even during Atonement
Dinner.
-
- Their only real confrontation had occurred when he limited
her to 50,000 texts a month, explaining that was all he could afford.
-
- She whined for a week, but got over it.
-
- His 16-year-old son, Jason, was another matter altogether.
Perhaps it was the constant bombarding he got in public school that global
warming, the bird flu, terrorism, or any of a number of other calamities
were "just around the corner", but Jason had developed a kind
of nihilistic attitude that ranged between simmering surliness and outright
hostility.
-
- It didn't help that Jason had reported his father to
the police for smoking a marijuana cigarette in the house, an act made
criminal by the Smoking Control Statute of 2018, which outlawed smoking
anywhere within 500 feet of another human being.
-
- Winston paid the $5,000 fine, which might have been considered
excessive before the American dollar became virtually worthless as a result
of QE13.
-
- The latest round of quantitative easing the federal government
initiated was, once again, to "spur economic growth."
-
- This time, they promised to push unemployment below its
years-long rate of 28%, but Winston was not particularly hopeful.
-
- Yet the family had a lot for which to be thankful, Winston
thought, before remembering it was a Day of Atonement.
-
- At least, he had his memories.
-
- He felt a twinge of sadness when he realized his children
would never know what life was like in the Good Old Days, long before government
promises to make life "fair for everyone" and they realized their
full potential..
-
- Winston, like so many of his fellow Americans, never
realized how much things could change when they didn't happen all at once,
but little by little, so people could get used to them.
-
- He wondered what might have happened if the public had
stood up while there was still time, maybe back around 2011 , when all
the real nonsense began.
-
- "Maybe we wouldn't be where we are today if we'd
just said 'enough is enough' when we had the chance," he thought..
-
- Maybe so, Winston. Maybe so.
