This'n'That; November 17th[reid-FINGER;WHAM;Polls]

They Really ARE The "Ruling Class!!" [Tell me these congressional assholes DO NOT THINK they're members of the "ruling class!!" Put you in jail for not buying health insurance?? Whad'da load'a shit, that is!! Photo at right is just one illustration of what harry reid thinks of we, "the serfs!!"] Under porklosi-Care, American citizens who refuse to purchase an bama-approved health insurance plan will face fines of up to 250,000 dollars and up to five years in jail. When asked what gave Congress the right to institute such a tyrannical mandate, obamacRATic Senator Jack Reed actually had the nerve to tell CNS News that it was constitutionally justified. Why? Because, according to Reed, it was no different than making people “sign up for the draft.” Got that? As far as Nancy porklosi and barack INSANE obama [Mm...Mm...Mm!!] and Jack Reed and radical leftists in Congress are concerned, they have every right to force you to purchase a porklosi-obama approved health care plan under penalty of law. Apparently, like the draft, it's your solemn duty to purchase their so-called health care plan... or else. If you cross them... if you are not covered by a health care plan that has the obama-porklosi Seal Of Approval, the IRS will assess a penalty of up to 2.5 percent of your income and if you resist paying this penalty, you can go to jail for up to five years and/or be fined up to 250,000 dollars. Congressman Dave Camp, the Ranking Member of the House Ways and Means Committee, put it this way: “This is the ultimate example of the obamacRATs’ command-and-control style of governing – buy what we tell you or go to jail.” Specifically, when asked for the justification, under the Constitution, for Congress to make the draconian requirement, Reed told CNS News:

• “Let me see... I would have to check the specific sections, so I’ll have to get back to you on the specific section. But it is not unusual that the Congress has required individuals to do things, like sign up for the draft and do many other things too, which I don’t think are explicitly contained [in the Constitution]."
• ..."Get back to you?"
• ... on the Constitution?
• ... this man's actually a United States Senator?
• ... it should be obvious, Reed has no idea what's in the Constitution, nor, does he care!!.

It should be equally obvious that leftists like Reed, porklosi and barack INSANE obama [Mm...Mm...Mm!!] have little regard, if any, for the Constitution anyway. And lastly, it should be painfully obvious exactly why porklosi-Care (the spawn of obamaCare) must be stopped.

Oh... one more thing became painfully obvious... it seems Senate Majority Leader harry reid will try to ram porklosi-Care down our throats before we even know what hit us after all.

Right after some senior obamacRATs claimed last week that so-called "health care reform" would not be resolved in the Senate this year, reid immediately (and quietly) moved to bring porklosi-Care to the Senate floor.

• Debate will start on Tuesday... even though reid has not even finalized the Senate version of the legislation.
• Whoa... just last week, reid said, "They want us to do this the right way, not the fast way."
• What a turnaround.... Why the rush harry?

ARE YOU READY FOR JAIL BY REFUSING TO BE SCREWED?? We WILL stop porklosi-Care but we must act now, time is short!! WHAM Radio: FAR Left? This morning my day started as usual: Up at 4:15 or so, blood check, outside to have a smoke and get the paper. I read-thirteen or so-pages of the paper then tune into the Wham! Morning News, where the host and his partner "read the paper to us." The show is hosted by Chet Walker and Beth Adams, partners for ump-teen years [with a short break in there, somewhere]. Chet seems to be a nice guy, but as most media people, liberal "to a fault." Beth on the other hand, is [my opinion, here!] a myopic, singular socialist; more fascist than Fluffy obama or any of his handlers. {In all fairness, I have to admit I'm as far to the right as she is to the left; I'm somewhere between Limbaugh and Glenn Beck!!}

• They interviewed some woman on the results of a CBS News poll on Sarah Palin: That only 23% of surveyed Americans have a favorable opinion of Ms Palin.
• What they might have included--had they done more than just read the paper to us--Scott Rasmussen's polling results: 59% of likely republicRAT voters NATIONWIDE, say that Sarah shares their values!!

MORE Important Polling Numbers:

• Sarah Palin is the 2012 "top choice" of 64% of likely GOP voters.
• Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows that 28% of the nation's voters Strongly Approve the way barack INSANE obama [Mm...Mm...Mm!!] is performing his role as "Clown Prince."
• Just 42% of Minnesota voters would vote for Governor Tim Pawlenty if he’s the Republican nominee in 2012.
• Only 20% say "What's good for China's Economy" is good for the US' economy.
• 47% say Global Warming is the result of planetary trends rather than human activity.
• 93% Say the fall of the Berlin Wall is important to world history [So it must be true: the "Clown Prince" avoided the celebration because he'd "play second fiddle" to a bunch'a bricks!!].
• 68% Oppose those cities that declared themselves as "sanctuary cities" for illegal immigrants.
• A full 62% say that congress is more responsive to the media than to voters!!!

Til Nex'Time....

"Clown Prince" Weekly Blather; 11/14

A Patriotic Response To The "Clown Prince" 11/14 Weekly AddressNovember 14, 2009 This was a week for honoring the extraordinary service and profound sacrifice of our men and women in uniform. Every fall, we set aside a special day to pay tribute to our veterans. But this year, Veteran’s Day took on even greater poignancy and meaning because of the tragic events at Fort Hood. On Tuesday, I traveled there to join with the Fort Hood community, the Army, and the friends and families of the victims to honor thirteen of our fellow Americans who died – and the dozens more who were wounded – not on some distant shore, but on a military base at home. [What I'm not telling you: I care so little about the military that it took me almost two minutes into my blather at that "Tribal Nations Conference" to even acknowledge the tragedy had unfolded. While I was reluctant to even mention it, "political correctness" dictated that I do so. Now I have to figure a way to turn the nation's sympathies toward Islam; to minimize the damage done by that idiot Hasan and to maximize blame toward the country; the military in general and the Army, specifically!! I have plans that I'm not free to discuss at the moment; plans that will guide America toward a future Islamic nation. This idiot at Fort Hood may have caused a set-back, but ultimately, my plans will continue....why? Because they're MY PLANS!!] Every man and woman who signs up for military service does so with full knowledge of the dangers that could come – that is part of what makes the service of our troops and veterans so extraordinary. But it’s unthinkable that so many would die in a hail of gunfire on a US Army base in the heart of Texas, and that a fellow service-member could have pulled trigger. [What I'm not telling you: Sure the soldiers knew what they were getting into when they signed up. What they didn't know-how I use my seemingly ineptness as a ploy for not supporting the troops: any time, any place, with anything!! The public has to give me a break here!! Remember, I've only had 142 days of professional, elective experience; Hell, I've never even run a candy store... never had to make a payroll!! What the Hell do I know any of that crap?? I DID LEARN, as a community agitator, how to stir shit; how to make shit smell as bad as possible; how to turn this stinking shit into federal and state dollars for ACORN, SEIU and all their satellite minions!! All that being done with little evidence that could be traced back to me!!] There is an ongoing investigation into this terrible tragedy. That investigation will look at the motives of the alleged gunman, including his views and contacts. As I said in Fort Hood, I am confident that justice will be done, and I will insist that the full story be told. That is paramount, and I won’t compromise that investigation today by discussing the details of this case. But given the potential warning signs that may have been known prior these shootings, we must uncover what steps – if any – could have been taken to avert this tragedy. [What I'm not telling you: The motives?? They'll stay QUIET!! This guy is a "card-carrying" terrorist.... a designation that I can not let get out. How many shots would this "Haman" guy have gotten off, if every GI Joe and GI Jane were carrying a 45cal automatic?? I'm betting, two... three at the most!!! That "GIs" carrying handguns thingie?? When'ya think that's gonna happen?? Ha!!! NEVER would be my best guess!! That "...full story be told..." thing?? That will require ALOT of "politically correct" editing!!] On the Thursday evening that this tragedy took place, I met in the Oval Office with Secretary of Defense Gates, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff – Admiral Mullen, and FBI Director Mueller to review the immediate steps that were necessary to support the families and secure Fort Hood. The next morning, I met with the leadership of our military and the intelligence community, and ordered them to undertake a full review of the sequence of events that led up to the shootings. [What I'm not telling you: All those military big shots?? They've got their "marching orders!!" Just do as I do: Drag your feet as long as possible, the KoolAid drinkers'll either forget about it, or it'll become a "non-issue" just because there's no more reporting on it.... I'll make sure of THAT!!!] The purpose of this review is clear: We must compile every piece of information that was known about the gunman, and we must learn what was done with that information. Once we have those facts, we must act upon them. If there was a failure to take appropriate action before the shootings, there must be accountability. Beyond that – and most importantly – we must quickly and thoroughly evaluate and address any flaws in the system, so that we can prevent a similar breach from happening again. Our government must be able to act swiftly and surely when it has threatening information. And our troops must have the security that they deserve. [What I'm not telling you: The compilation of "every piece of information" will be on a very selective basis; nothing that reflects negatively on me or Islam or the Koran, WILL BE FOUND!!] I know there will also be inquiries by Congress, and there should. But all of us should resist the temptation to turn this tragic event into the political theater that sometimes dominates the discussion here in Washington. The stakes are far too high. [What I'm not telling you: Those congressional inquiries....?? We have to get them started as quickly as possible!! Every one of MY programs that are being forced upon the "serf class" require an "emergency" to cloud the issues, nationally and to cloud the thinking, individually. With "emergencies" at the fore, these wealth re-distribution programs can be rushed through the congress in the middle of the night. Frankly, I'm kinda worried about that obamaCare thingie.... Too many of the serf class are reading the dam' bill. They're finding out the financial screwing they'll be subjected to!! The ruling class has to step up and get it passed!! What-the-Hell are they worried about; I fixed it so they can keep their "cadillac plans" while the serfs will bear all the costs, hence "wealth re-distribution," get-it; get-it?!?! {Remember: My version of wealth re-distribution only involves those making LESS than $250,000!!}] Of all the responsibilities of the presidency, the one that I weigh most heavily is my duty as Commander-in-Chief to our splendid service-men and women. Their character and bravery were on full display in that processing center at Fort Hood, when so many scrambled under fire to help their wounded comrades. And their great dignity and decency has been on display in the days since, as the Fort Hood community has rallied together. [What I'm not telling you: Man, I've got you "faked out'ta your jock straps!!" That "Commander-in-Chief" bullshit...... I'll bet you really believe that!! What-ta-Hell do I know about the military?? NOTHING!! What do I take away from those military briefings?? NOTHING!! What do I want to do to either better myself as the supreme commander, or to better the life and safety of the soldier?? NOTHING!!] We owe our troops prayerful, considered decisions about when and where we commit them to battle to protect our security and freedom, and we must fully support them when they are deployed. We also owe them the absolute assurance that they’ll be safe here at home as they prepare for whatever mission may come. As Commander-in-Chief, I won’t settle for anything less. [What I'm not telling you: Sure, we owe the military considered decisions, personal and professional safety and other assurances, but they ain't gonna gett'em from me!! A strong, intelligent and self-driven military is a negative to my planned fascist takeover of the government, the country!!] This nation will never forget the service of those we lost at Fort Hood, just as we will always honor the service of all who wear the uniform of the United States of America. Their legacy will be an America that is safer and stronger – an America that reflects the extraordinary character of the men and women who serve it. [What I'm not telling you: Of course we won't forget the service of those lost at Fort Hood-those thoughts will just be on the back burner; rarely if ever, brought up again. I shall continue to honor the service of those in the military just as I honored the 65th anniversary of D-Day in France.... I IGNORED IT-nary a mention!! I shall continue to honor America as I always do-negatively!! Just as I refused to attend the celebration of the fall of the Berlin Wall; I had no assurances that I would be the focalpoint!! I shall continue to honor America in my own way; by conducting my annual, international apology tour. I can denegrate America and it's accomplishments at will and the KoolAid drinkers will applaud me for it!!!] Thank you.

This'n'That; November 13th[Respect;Taliban;Hatred]

SOMEONE Respects Military Members!!

[We can all rest assured that this wasn't the "Clown Prince!!" Fluffy obama hasn't shown even one modicum of respect for anything military; ANYTHING AMERICAN!!]

A Milwaukee Army reservist's military identification earned him some street cred when he says four men who mugged him at gunpoint returned his belongings and thanked him for his service after finding the ID. The 21-year-old University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee student said he was walking home from work about 1:15 a.m. Tuesday when he was pulled into an alley and told to lay face down and with a gun to his neck. Four men took his wallet, $16, keys, his cell phone and even a PowerBar wrapper from his pants pockets, he said. But the hostile tone quickly changed when one of the robbers, whom the reservist presumed was the leader, saw an Army ID in the wallet. The robber told the others to return the items and they put most of his belongings on the ground next to him, including the wrapper, the reservist said. "The guy continued to say throughout the situation that he respects what I do and at one point he actually thanked me and he actually apologized," said the reservist, who asked not to be identified Tuesday because the robbers still had his keys. The reservist said he asked the men, who all had hoods or hats covering their faces, if he could get up and they said he could before starting to walk away. "The leader of the group actually walked back, gave me a quick fist bump, which was very strange," he said. "I'm just kind of awe struck that everything was given back to me due to just being in the military, " he said. "I realize in pretty much every other situation that wouldn't happen."

Result Of "Clown Prince" Foot Dragging

[For three months Fluffy obama has been "dragging his feet" on a decision concerning troop levels in Afganistan. The article below illustrates the consequences of said "foot dragging." If someone had jokingly told him his decision would ultimately lead to wealth re-distribution, he'da had it decided in three minutes!!!! With adequate force levels it can be assumed that coalition forces would retake the area and force the terrorists to get "up-close and personal {read: D-E-A-D}" with Allah!!]

One month after U.S. forces abandoned outposts in the Kamdesh district in Afghanistan's eastern province of Nuristan, the Taliban are operating in the open, without fear of retaliation. The Taliban and their commander Dost Mohammed flaunted their control of the district to Al Jazeera. Coalition forces attacked the Taliban in mid-October after the battle of Combat Outpost Keating and the subsequent U.S. withdrawal.

The Taliban created "administrative units and the officials have been appointed," an unnamed commander told Al Jazeera. "We also established the judiciary department and the commission for the promotion of virtue and the prevention of vice section," the commander told the news agency. "We are working on providing people's basic needs." The promotion of virtue and the prevention of vice section will enforce the Taliban's strict, repressive brand of sharia, or Islamic law. The Taliban also hold "scores" of Afghan police and soldiers who have been captured since the fall of Kamdesh, and claimed to have seized large quantities of U.S. munitions left at Keating.

"Clown Prince" Hates America-Here's Proof!!

[I think "hate" is a strong word for a strong emotion!! Until I read the complete article {with verifiable confirmations}, I had reservations in entitling this entry "....Hates...." Read the entire article, which I have excerpted from the Mark Hyman piece on obama Watch, at www.spectator.org To keep the piece in perspective, the reader must remember, ALL THIS happened in JUST TEN MONTHS!!]

The very next paragraph is going to make the nut jobs on the far left excitable beyond belief. I am not referring to all Democrats or even a majority of liberals. I am singling out the "they’ve-lost-all-touch-with-reality" crowd. This includes Media Matters for America led by the admitted hit-and-run, drunk-driving serial liar. The group includes the unshaven, bathrobe-clad unemployed who live in their mother’s basement and are devout followers of MoveOn.Org. It is also the bitter, aging spinster working at the New York Times, the morbidly obese documentary film maker, and cable TV news’ resident drama queen who hosts MSNBC’s Countdown. They are about to simultaneously suffer from brain aneurisms. So without further delay, I’ll say it. barack obama despises America. When people who voted for obama in 2008 — including registered Democrats — start speaking in normal conversational voices at dinner parties, neighborhood gatherings and PTA meetings that the over-inflated ego from Chicago has it "in for America," then it’s clear most reasonable people have reached the same conclusion. The central conviction of obama’s ideology is that America is guilty of limitless moral failures and is the chief architect of the world’s ills. obama has boundless enmity for America, its key institutions, and its longtime allies. Consider these facts.

• The 30-years of obama's post-adolescent life are radical by any measure. First, he grew up listening to the ramblings of committed Communist Frank Marshall Davis. It had such a profound effect on him that he wrote fondly of Davis in his first book. In fact, that book is replete with statement after statement about how the U.S. is deeply flawed. Most Americans believe in American exceptionalism. Not so with obama.
• Patriotic Americans would not have listened to the bigoted, anti-Semitic, hate-America rants of a fringe religious leader for 20 seconds let alone for 20 years. Yet, obama who admitted he attended services at Trinity United Church at least twice a month for two decades called Jeremiah Wright his mentor and his moral sounding board.
• Nor would most Americans cultivate a close friendship with an admitted domestic terrorist and his wife whose most notable life's accomplishments were to set off bombs that killed and maimed innocent people.
• Joining Al Sharpton and Jeremiah Wright in organizing attendance at Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan's 1995 march on Washington is beyond imaginable. Especially after Farrakhan demonstrated public support for Colonel Muammar Qaddafi during the Libyan Leader's most bellicose years against the U.S., which included Libyan complicity in numerous terrorist attacks.
• obama's view of America in national security and foreign affairs is profoundly disappointing to say the least.
• Americans overwhelmingly view the men and women who saved Europe and the Far East during World War II as comprising the Greatest Generation. By his comments and actions, president obama obviously thinks otherwise.
• obama did not honor American greatness on the 60th anniversary of the Berlin Airlift while on his first European trip. Instead, he accused "America [of having] shown arrogance and been dismissive, even derisive" toward its European allies. He also denigrated the accomplishments of the American G.I. during World War II in the Pacific theater when he offered a thinly veiled apology for the U.S. having dropped the A-bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Those acts brought the war to a swift conclusion, perhaps saving hundreds of thousands of lives when it appeared Japan was prepared to wage an island-by-island battle to the last man. obama ordered the release of the so-called CIA "torture memos," seriously damaging delicate intelligence relations with allied nations and placing at grave risk the safety of U.S. intelligence officers working overseas. The impact of his action handcuffs the ability of U.S. intelligence officials to protect the U.S. and American interests from acts of terrorism.
• In a matter of weeks last spring, obama gave deference to a variety of belligerent leaders while stiff-arming longtime American allies. First, he called for closer relations with Cuba while ignoring that nation's long list of continuing human rights abuses. Then he warmly welcomed Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez at an Organization of American States summit.
• Next, he failed to respond and set the record straight after Nicaragua's Communist leader Daniel Ortega listed alleged U.S. crimes and atrocities during a nearly one-hour rant at the OAS meeting. It is unsettling that in his own remarks Obama incorrectly claimed the OAS has 36 members rather than the actual 34. Ortega and the hemisphere's other Socialist leaders claim the OAS would include 36 members if Cuba and an independent Puerto Rico were allowed to join. Mere coincidence or Freudian slip?
• Immediately following the OAS embarrassments, obama ignored a request from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to meet. Obama would repeat this snub six months later before agreeing at the last moment to meet Netanyahu after the Israeli leader was en route the U.S. In his speech before the Muslim world, obama made the patently absurd claim of equivalency between the status of displaced Palestinians and the slaughter of millions of Jews during the Holocaust. His claim that 7 million Muslims live in the U.S. is a figure inflated by as much as 700%.
• In an earlier speech, obama claimed that the U.S. is not a Christian nation, which is at odds with the fact that 79% of Americans self-identify as Christians and the nation's founders were devout Christians.
• In less than six months in office, obama apologized for Guantanamo Bay; for alleged mistakes committed by the CIA; for U.S. policy in the Americas; for America's history of slavery; for "sacrificing [American] values;" for "hasty decisions" in the war on terror; for "America's standing in the world;" for American errors in foreign policy; and for U.S. relations with the Muslim world.
• He pronounced Iran's pursuit of nuclear technology acceptable and he warned Netanyahu against targeting Iran's nuclear facilities. obama's approach to Iran is eerily similar to that of Jimmy Carter, whose actions contributed to the fall of that nation into the control of Islamic radicals.
• This summer, the door to greater individual freedoms in Iran was firmly closed shut when obama announced the U.S would not meddle in Iran's election and he offered no encouragement to democracy activists who protested the obviously stolen elections. His silence was deafening when regime security agents savagely attacked and killed countless Iranians who took to the streets.
• In contrast to his deference to anti-American leaders such as Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Hugo Chavez, and Daniel Ortega, obama strong-armed Netanyahu on key Israeli matters. In addition to snubbing the Israeli Prime Minister's requests to meet, obama demanded an end to Israeli settlements and insisted on the creation of a two-state Palestine solution.
• obama abandoned NATO members Poland and the Czech Republic by canceling the central Europe missile defense plan just as rogue nations North Korea and Iran make advances in nuclear and ballistic missile production. The cancellation was demanded by Moscow authorities who have adopted a more confrontational posture toward the west.
• Solidarity with freedom-loving East Germans has been a staple of the American presidency for nearly 50 years. John Kennedy pronounced himself a Berliner. Ronald Reagan demanded Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev "Tear down this wall!" Yet, this bricks and mortar icon of first, Soviet totalitarianism, and then, second, the end of Soviet domination did not make the cut as obama chose not to attend the 20th anniversary of the fall of the wall. In the summer of 2008, obama altogether skipped mentioning the role of the U.S. -- or even the West, for that matter -- in bringing down the wall, instead crediting "a world that stands as one."
• obama's disagreement with American values and institutions is evident in domestic issues. He has stocked his administration with wild-eyed radicals who believe foreign law trumps the U.S. Constitution (Harold Koh); include an avowed Marxist and "truther" who believes George Bush was complicit in the 9/11 attack and is also an ardent supporter of cop-killer Mumia Abu Jamal (Van Jones); and include a devoted admirer of Mao Tse-tung who slaughtered as many as 75 million people (Anita Dunn). (In contrast, George W. Bush's Attorney-General nominee John Ashcroft was savaged by the news media for being an Evangelical Christian.)
• Three weeks after America's first black president was sworn in, the nation's first black Attorney-General who was hand-picked by obama, called America "a nation of cowards" for some perceived race relations shortfall. The understood meaning of Eric Holder's comments is that white people are still racists. However, the reality is the people most preoccupied with fomenting the racial divide are those who populate the ranks of the obama Administration.
• obama's Homeland Secretary designated military veterans as terrorists-in-waiting to be equally as dangerous as other domestic terrorists including pro-lifers and citizens opposed to the flood of illegal aliens.
• One of obama's very few suggestions to cut into his $1.4 trillion budget deficit was to have servicemen and women pay for their own war injuries. He's all for providing free health care to illegal aliens but believes wounded warriors should foot their own hospital bills. In fact, the Defense Department is about the only sector of government in which obama has proposed slashing spending.
• Hours after a belligerent "African-American Studies" Harvard professor engaged in behavior unbefitting anyone let alone a professional man, obama accused the exceedingly tolerant Cambridge police officers as having "acted stupidly" and then digressed into how people of color have been unfairly treated by white America.
• Bush was prolific in quietly and privately visiting the military wounded and family of the fallen. In contrast, obama attempted to make political capital of his one visit to Dover Air Force Base. obama's motives were so transparent that families of 17 of the 18 fallen denied permission for obama to engage in a photo-op alongside the returning caskets.
• In May, obama immediately issued a statement that he was "shocked and outraged by the murder" of a Kansas doctor specializing in partial-birth abortions. He called it a "heinous act of violence." Attorney-General Holder mobilized U.S. Marshals nationwide to provide protection to abortion clinics.
• But obama remained silent the very next day when two U.S. soldiers were gunned down by a Muslim extremist outside a Little Rock recruiting station. After repeated prodding for a presidential comment, the White House faxed an after-hours statement to select media outlets two days later offering a tepid remark that obama was "saddened" without even mentioning the soldiers were murdered.
• Five months later, another Muslim fanatic gunned down nearly four dozen Americans, killing 13, at the Ft. Hood army base. It was an act that demanded the most serious demeanor of the military's Commander-in-Chief. Yet, obama referenced the massacre in the most insincere fashion just seconds after a jocular shout-out to an audience member during a public speaking engagement. It was the equivalent of attending a funeral in swimwear while en route to the beach.

The odd inadvertent comment or occasional verbal faux pas can be explained away as just that. However, obama has a lifetime of comments and actions including 10 months as president that belie his real attitude toward the U.S. The difference between obama and his immediate predecessors such as Ronald Reagan, the George Bushes and Bill Clinton who actually revere and honor the greatness of America and its citizens and institutions cannot be overstated.

This'n'That; November 12th[MiseryIndex;Polls;Jihadists]

Resurrect The Misery Index?

[**PHOTO: A German citizen in the Weirmar Republic going to buy "a single loaf of bread" during the hyper-inflation period of 1926-1932.]

The Misery Index was developed to illustrate the great damage "peanut" Carter was doing to the economy; the American way of life. When "Peanut" was bounced out of office by Ronald Reagan, the Misery Index had reached an all-time high of 21.98% in June, 1980.

With the ongoing unemployment [despite all those "saved jobs!!"] which seems to continue it's upward climb into the stratosphere, now seems a good time to bring it back.

The Misery Index is the addition of the unemployment rate [U-3] and the inflation rate. I contend that there should be a SUPER Misery Index, which would include the U-6 unemployment rate [all those unemployed, under employed, given up the job search; anyone not working that wants to].

• The October, 2009 Misery Index: 8.9 {10.2 - 1.3}
• The October, 2009 Super Misery Index: 16.2 {17.5 - 1.3}

Here, We Need To Discuss "Stagflation:"

Stagflation can be best defined as "negative inflation." Stagflation can result when an economy is slowed by an unfavorable supply shock, such as an increase in the price of oil in an oil importing country, which tends to raise prices at the same time that it slows the economy by making production less profitable.

• This type of stagflation presents a policy dilemma because most actions to assist with fighting inflation worsen economic stagnation and vice versa.
• Second, both stagnation and inflation can result from inappropriate macroeconomic policies.
• For example, central banks can cause inflation by permitting excessive growth of the money supply.
• The government can cause stagnation by excessive regulation of goods markets and labor markets. Together, these factors can cause stagflation;
• equally, either, if taken to such an extreme, must be reversed.

The current inflation rate -1.3 [stagflation] has been entirely caused by government actions!

• For the last three months or so, they have been printing money!! Literally, running the printing presses 24.7!!
• They've created policies of "buying" private industries, controlling private financial markets, controlling pay and bonuses of the very folks who create a vast portion of the country's wealth.
• The promotion of "free" obamaCare will devistate the national wealth; ostensibly by taxing the rich!! "The rich" are the ones who create the vast majority of jobs.
• The current "cap-and-tax" bill working it's way thru congress will eventually add upwards of $5,000 to taxpayers' utility bills, "redistributing" even more wealth!!

"Clown Prince's" Numbers Drop 'Like A Brick!!'

Here's some of Scott Rasmussen's [ http://www.rasmussenreports.com/ ] poll findings:

• Clown Prince's" daily job approval: [11/11] 30% Strongly approve, down from 32% on 11/09.
• 62% of voters believe the nation is heading down the wrong track, up slightly from last week.
• 52% of voters feel that America’s best days are in the past. This marks the highest level of voter pessimism in two years.
• 58% of voters say it is at least somewhat likely the next president of the United States will be a Republican. The number has been trending upward since Obama took office in January and is up 14 points since then.
• 60% of voters nationwide say last week's Fort Hood shootings should be investigated as a "terrorist act."
• 49% of adults say their finances are getting worse. Entreprenuers (33%) and private company wokers (23%) rate their financial situation better than government workers (18%) or retirees (15%). Among investors, 45% say their personal finances are getting worse.

Would President Truman Have Rewarded Hitler?

[OF COURSE NOT!! Had Hitler survived World War Two, he'd have suffered the same fate he did as the fallen ruler of Nazi Germany. Then, why is Fluffy obama rewarding the jihadists that threaten our shores every minute of every day?? Well, he is a muslim; he has taken the title of "The Great Apologist" from John McCain; he is a "one-worlder;" he is the "Clown Prince;" and on, and on, and on!!!]

"Islamic jihadists remain the most serious threat against America today, despite Fluffy obama’s effort to improve U.S. relations with the Muslim world,” observes Jim Jacobson, president of Christian Freedom International. Unfortunately, “Islamic radicals have not reciprocated the president’s attempted outreach.” Earlier this year Fluffy made a celebrated speech in Cairo to promote better relations with the Islamic world but, notes Jacobson, “the primary problem is the hostility of organized Islam to members of other faiths.” That hostility starts with persecution against Christians, Jews, and other religious minorities in Muslim nations around the globe. Now the fascists have created a new and expensive technology fund for Islamic countries. The Overseas Private Investment Corporation is providing up to $150 million to “catalyze and facilitate private sector investments.” Target industries include computers and telecommunications. The objective is to promote education, health care, infrastructure, and jobs in the Muslim world. These all are good things, “but shouldn’t Washington be focusing on promoting education, health care, infrastructure, and jobs in America,” asks Jacobson? The U.S. deficit in Fiscal Year 2009 was $1.4 trillion. Uncle Sam will be running up at least another $10 trillion in red ink over the coming decade. “Why is the federal government borrowing money to subsidize education, health care, infrastructure, and jobs in other nations,” he asks? U.S. officials want to believe that these initiatives will promote economic growth in Islamic countries, and thereby reduce radicalism. “Unfortunately, the record of foreign aid is one of failure,” notes Jacobson. Washington has been giving away money to Third World countries for decades, with little result. “The OPIC initiative is not likely to do anything other than enrich already well-connected politicians and businessmen,” Jacobson adds. Unfortunately, some of them may be the people who have been funding Islamic radicals for years. “We know that much of the money for terrorism has come from individuals, businesses, and charities in supposedly friendly Muslim nations, such as Saudi Arabia,” he explains. Any funds would have to be closely monitored to make sure the money is not recycled against Americans.

This'n'That; November 11th [Vet'sDay;Apathy]

Veteran's Day It's here, the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month!! World War One [prior to WWII, known as "The Great War"] ended with the signing of an "armistice" at that time and date in 1918.

At 11 a.m. on 11 November 1918—"the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month"—a ceasefire came into effect. Opposing armies on the Western Front began to withdraw from their positions. Canadian Private George Lawrence Price is traditionally regarded as the last soldier killed in the Great War: he was shot by a German sniper at 10:57 and died at 10:58.

President Woodrow Wilson first proclaimed an Armistice Day for November 11, 1919. The United States Congress passed a concurrent resolution seven years later on June 4, 1926, requesting the President issue another proclamation to observe November 11 with appropriate ceremonies. An Act approved May 13, 1938, made the 11th of November in each year a legal holiday; "a day to be dedicated to the cause of world peace and to be thereafter celebrated and known as 'Armistice Day'." Emporia, Ks., U.S. Rep. Ed Rees, wrote and gained co-sponsors for a bill to make "Armistice Day" a federal holiday and guided it through Congress. President Dwight Eisenhower signed it into law on May 26, 1954. Congress amended this act on November 8, 1954, replacing "Armistice" with "Veterans," and it has been known as Veterans Day since. "Clown Prince" Displays Apathy Toward Military The "Clown Prince" again displayed complete apathy toward the U.S. military in general; the United States Army in particular!! Fluffy obama was well aware of the muslim massacre at Fort Hood when he took the podium for his daily photo op and blather. He elected to temporarily ignore the devistation to make closing remarks at the Tribal Nations' Conference in Oklahoma City. During his remarks, he-incorrectly-honored "Medal of Honor" recipient Dr Joe Medicine Crow with "a shout-out." Dr Medicine Crow has been awarded the Bronze Star and Légion d'honneur for his actions during WWII. He was never awarded the Medal of Honor!! Dumb-ass Fluffy-himself-DID award Dr Medicine Crow the "Presidential Medal of Freedon" on August 8, 2009!! It took Fluffy nearly a full two minutes to even mention the Fort Hood tradegy!! And only after his routine bullshit of thanking "everybody-and-his-brother" for showing up at this photo op/blather session. Fluffy is quoted in the pages of the New York Times advising us not to “jump to conclusions.” According to CNN, obama has also cautioned against a “backlash” against Muslims in the military and in the country. This—from the "Clown Prince" who bowed before the Saudi King; who betrayed Muslim women in his Cairo speech.

• AP reported last Friday that there had been “immediate” anti-Muslim “backlash.” What happened?
• Did armed bands of furious Islamophobes throw molotov cocktails at mosques?
• Did ferocious white supremacists maul fragile little girls in hijabs on their way to school?
• Did angry bigots spit at pious imams quietly going about their business?
• No.
• Had there been any report--any report at all--of any innocent, random Muslim being attacked in a “backlash” after the Fort Hood jihad?
• Nope. Not one. Americans are decent people. Americans believe people are innocent until proven guilty.

But Ibrahim Hooper and his fellow thugs at the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) need to be able to claim that hate crimes are being committed so that they can claim victim status for Muslims and deflect attention away from such small matters as the jihad at Fort Hood

The only actual incidents of “backlash” the AP could come up with were incidents of people calling the Fort Hood massacre a "jihad attack" -- as if it is “Islamophobic” and hateful to note that a man was shouting “Allahu akbar” as he gunned people down, and that he gave out Korans hours before he started shooting people, and that he expressed sympathy for suicide attackers.

General Casey, the Army Chief-of-Staff is toeing "the company line"... supporting obama's chosen religion as opposed to supporting ALL religions and primarily Christianity. After all, America is a christian nation-NOT an islamic nation, as the "Clown Prince" has noted on occasion!!

On “Meet the Depressed”, when asked whether Muslim soldiers are conflicted in fighting wars in Muslim countries like Afghanistan and Iraq, Casey said: “I think that’s something that we have to look at on an individual basis."
