As the criminals continue to populate the White House (see Geithner, Timothy, and Daschle, Tom*) and the media barely hiccup over the matter, Mikhail Obama continues concocting his kool-aid to addict the whole of America to the government, thereby assuring Demofiend control until the country is overrun by barbarians. Wait, it already has been so overrun, and they’re congregating at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. It’s just that this set of barbarians speaks lawyerese and not "bar bar."

Anyone who takes a sober look at the so-called stimulus package coming out of D.C. courtesy of the Fiends will quickly see that it has everything to do with carrying out a liberal agenda to make every person and every industry dependent on the government and nothing to do with stimulus.

Tax cuts? What a joke. You’ll get either $500 or $1,000 in tax credits if you work, and if you don’t work or work little, you’ll get those sums for free. How long is the Obamian tether?

Auto industry? We’ll subsidize you, but you have to build green cars that no one wants. Wall Street? Until we’ve nationalized the banks, you can continue your games–but no bonuses. We’re illegaliziing those.

Health care? Get in line. You may get to see the doctor before you die, and don’t dare try to pay anyone under the table for medical care. You’ll go to prison.

Budget deficit of $2 trillion? Not to worry, we’ll keep printing the money until you’re all hooked on our kool-aid. Then we’ll tax you to death and strip your social security plan to shreds.

Welcome to Animal Farm, folks.

(* Okay, you don’t have to take my word on the sleaze factor that is Tom Daschle; just read what the ultraleft publications Salon and Rolling Stone think of him.)

As the so-called stimulus bill sails through Congress with no bipartisan input and no amendments allowed, I keep asking myself, "Where in this package is there any stimulus?" Mainly, the so-called American Recovery and Reinvestment Act is just a big payoff to Obama/Demofiend backers in government and the unions. If you don’t carry a union card, you’ll see none of this almost $1 trillion pork fest.

I guess if the Republicans got to play with $700 billion to "save" the credit markets (which turned out just to be payouts to Henry Paulsen’s banking and investment cronies for their year-end bonuses), then the Dems can go both tit for tat and "see you one better" with a $1 trillion handout to their cronies.

The economy will recover, for sure, but largely because of what the Federal Reserve is doing and not what anyone in Congress or the White House is doing. Actually, the economy will somehow recover despite the Demofiends. These economic panics, up until the creation the Federal Reserve, used to occur every few years and cure themselves in short order without any government action.

Of course, there’s still the possibility–a huge one, actually–that the Fiends will seize upon the recession and deliberately extend it until they can rip all our freedoms away and tether us to government programs (including brainwasing through the public schools) from cradle to grave.

If Obama and the Fiends stay in power eight years, we will indeed be France Lite.

U.S. President-elect Barack Obama was sworn in on Tuesday as president of the United States. Candidate Obama said much about what he would do as president; now we will see what President Obama actually does. The most important issue Obama will face will be the economy, something he did not anticipate through most of his campaign.

The first hundred days of his presidency thus will revolve around getting a stimulus package passed. But Obama also is now in the great game of global competition — and in that game, presidents rarely get to set the agenda.

The major challenge he faces is not Gaza; the Israeli-Palestinian dispute is not one any U.S. president intervenes in unless he wants to experience pain. As we have explained, that is an intractable conflict to which there is no real solution. Certainly, Obama will fight being drawn into mediating the Israeli-Palestinian conflict during his first hundred days in office.

It’s still several hours before Hosanna Obama parts the waters, feeds everyone with one loaf of bread and resurrects the dead, but I’ll make this prediction: No matter how lawlerly and unsubstantial his speech, the liberal media will immediately rank it with the Gettysburg Address and FDR’s “the only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” Look for the headlines tomorrow.

In pre-retrospect, the only thing we have to fear is listening to these idiots in the liberal media–and then enduring Obama and his socialist cronies until the ultimate demise of America.

All of you who are cheering that the Bush era is coming to an end should come to grips with the fact that the only thing that’s changing under Barack Obama is how the media will treat the administration. They’ll cover up for it, gladly, in hopes of great new federal programs they can write and cheer about. The White House will still house slime, but no one will write about it in the mainstream media.

Case in point: The incoming Treasury secretary, Timothy Geithner, is just as much a sleazeball, and even more so, than anyone in the Bush admin, including Hank Paulsen, current Treasury head.

First, he was instrumental in the cataclysmic fall of Lehman Brothers, which set off the whole panic that is sweeping both Wall Street and Main Street, and which conveniently put Barack Obama ahead of John McCain in the polls. (Maybe Barack Gorbachev is paying Geithner back for his absolutely crucial role in getting him elected.)

More telling, the fact that the media are currently buying into the Obama/Demofiend cover-up that Geithner’s failure to pay taxes was an honest mistake and just a "hiccup" tells you exactly what’s going to happen for the next four or eight years (hopefully the former).

Before I get into any details here, think about this: If Geithner finds the tax code too confusing, how the hell is the man ever going to run Treasury, which oversees the Internal Revenue Service?

Now for the facts: You can read the two articles below for more details, but basically, when Geithner was working for the IMF, he and other contractors who had to pay taxes were subject to what is called a "gross-up." A gross-up is a process to reimburse employees for the taxes they had to pay out of pocket, and to get the reimbursement each employee has to submit a list of all self-employment taxes paid and then sign an affidavit swearing that the figures are true and that the taxes were paid. Geithner did this on several occasions, swearing by his signature that he had actually paid the self-employment taxes listed on the form.

If he knew how much he had to pay and was then reimbursed for it (without ever paying it), how does this qualify as "too confusing"? There are better words for it, such as deceit and criminal activity.

Feast your eyes on these illuminating articles:

Geithner Accepted IMF Reimbursement for Taxes He Didn’t Pay

The Geithner Gross-up Gross-out

And, oh, by the way, these facts come from the Senate committee set to confirm his appointment. Somehow the liberal media haven’t found this important enough to write about.

Not enough people are savvy enough to connect the dots between the Democrats’ takeover of Congress in 2006 and the progressive tanking of the economy since then.

Well, if you loved that Great Depression-like phenomenon (and a majority did since they just voted more Demofiends into Congress along with a Demofiend Lincoln/FDR impersonator in the White House), you’ll love the next four-to-infinity years. They’ve got you right where they want you–broke and dependent on the government. It’s the old FDR strategy–if you can’t keep ‘em down on the farm, keep ‘em penniless. Then blame everything on the Republicans and get re-elected forever.

Anyway, back to the title of this posting. What we’re seeing now in the 111th Congress is a Demofiend payback of their union backers. Two so-called "fair pay" bills have already passed the house, and now the fiends are licking their chops over a so-called stimulus package, which is really nothing more than funnelling taxypayer and printing-press dollars by the hundreds of billions back to the unions, their $450-million supporters in the last election.

Will this plan actually put anyone to work? Unlikely, since the funds are all targeted for government projects, i.e., the so-called public service unions. (Somehow, however, GE got its hands into the pie–the company must’ve supported a lot of Demofiends–but it’s unlikely they’ll hire anyone, just use existing resources to get rich quick.)

Notice how the fiends are complaining right and left about giving tax cuts in the package. This is a clear sign that they were worried that the funds won’t be targeted correctly. I mean, we average Joes would actually get something besides a pink slip. That doesn’t work in the Dems’ minds. It’s all about union payback–and keeping us down on the farm, and down on our luck in perpetuity.

When Ronald Reagan took office in 1981, he observed in his Inaugural Address (no doubt not ever read and instinctively repudiated by Barrack Gorbachev) that "government is not the solution; government is the problem."

I’d never heard of Tico Moreno before, but in his article entitled "Government failed America, not the capitalist system," he clearly shows how government initiatives and intervention (not lack of regulation, as according to the current dogma) caused all the messes we’re currently experiencing, from Detroit to Wall Street to Main Street.

Well done, Tico, your article is succinct and hits the nail on the head.
