“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle” ~ Sun Tzu, The Art of War Ever since the first whiners protesters began gathering in Zuccotti Park to complain about the supposed inequality of wealth in America, there have been no shortage of apologists who have claimed this was a grassroots movement of “the 99%” against the so-called 1% (a.k.a. eeevil bankers). Many have even tried to compare the Occupy Wall Street movement to the Tea Party movement, claiming they are essentially...

Obama campaigns against self-reliance

Since his economic policies have taken a failing economy and completely gutted it, the only thing Chairman Zero has to run on in 2012 is fear. And he played it up big-time in his latest campaign speech. The funny/sad thing is, he’s using the concept of personal responsibility to scare his supporters. At a million-dollar San Francisco fundraiser today, President Obama warned his recession-battered supporters that if he loses the 2012 election it could herald a new, painful era of self-reliance in America. “The one thing that we absolutely know for sure is that if we don’t work even harder than we did in 2008, then we’re going to have a government that tells the American people, ‘you are on...

Misappropriation of federal funds by the White House. And their Office of Legal Counsel argues that the law doesn’t apply to them? After years of trying to imitate Lincoln, Kennedy, FDR, and Reagan, it looks like Obama is taking another page from Nixon. (via Washington Examiner) It’s not every day that the Government Accountability Office (GAO) reports that the Executive Office of the President violated federal law, but that’s the conclusion the GAO released in a report this month, after reviewing bilateral talks with the Chinese government hosted by the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP). The White House Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) disputes GAO’s analysis, arguing that the law does not constitutionally apply to the OSTP’s diplomatic...

I’ll be taking a brief respite from blogging for the next few days as I am getting married to my best friend today at the House of Blues here in Dallas.

GOP responds to Occupy Wall Street movement with wealth redistribution legislation

Oh, the irony!

The Occupy Wall Street movement continues to beclown the Democrat Party and the Left at large. When the protesters whiners aren’t pooping on police cars, chanting about having sex with animals, or selling heroin to each other, they’re spewing talking points from Karl Marx. And now, rich celebrities are joining in to assuage their consciences (or perhaps as a vain attempt at relevance). Actor John Cusack has followed in the footsteps of Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins by supporting New York City protesters taking part in a rally against social inequality. The Being John Malkovich star joined hundreds of campaigners in the ongoing Occupy WallStreet march calling for an end to corporate greed and equality for all. Cusack noticed one young woman proclaiming to be wealthy and holding a sign...

AP calls BS on President Obama’s “Jobs Bill” sales pitch

Posted 10 Oct 2011 in Barack Obama, economy, lies
“Perhaps you haven't been telling the truth, Pinocchio.”

After years of being unashamedly in the tank for Dear Leader, there are a few reporters at the Associated Press who are finally coming out of their Kool-Aid comas and realizing the need to point out President Obama’s blatant lies and demagoguery. Just three weeks ago, the AP fact-checked Obama’s class warfare rhetoric when he disingenuously claimed that billionaire investor Warren Buffett pays a lower tax rate than his secretary. And now they’re having to do it again since the President just won’t quit lying about his so-called “Jobs Bill.” WASHINGTON (AP) — In President Barack Obama’s sales pitch for his jobs bill, there are two versions of reality: The one in his speeches and the one actually...

How should the American people assess the performance of their president? One way is to examine key performance metrics, such as jobs, economic growth and inflation. This video offers a comparison of some of these metrics from at the beginning of President Obama’s term to now. You can decide for yourself if you are better off than you were 3 years ago.

Demands from the “Occupy Wall Street” movement [UPDATE: Roseanne Barr calls for the Guillotine and Re-education Camps for “guilty bankers”]

Don't taste the rainbow. Smell the revolution.

*** UPDATED — SCROLL DOWN FOR ROSEANNE BARR VIDEO *** For the past three weeks, dozens hundreds of unemployed twenty-something hippies have “occupied” Wall Street in an attempt to…um, get out of their parents’ basements and feel like they’re sticking a finger in “The Man’s” face. And until now, they’ve been so disjointed, there’s been no list of demands. Just a general waft of pachouli and body odor. But now, they’ve put down their cardboard signs long enough to scribble down their fondest pipe dreams and regurgitated wishes from Das Kapital. Grab some popcorn, this is heady stuff! While you’re reading this list, try to imagine the drum circle that pulled it together. Below is their list of “demands,” and in...
