Dick Morris Backs Herman Cain's 999 Tax Plan (Video)

Per Dick Morris, Herman Cain's "999" tax plan is "creative, is good, and will work like crazy."  See his video discussion here:  999: THE TRUTH – DICK MORRIS TV: LUNCH ALERT!

Hmm, I am definitely voting for Herman Cain.  There is no longer any doubt in my mind that he's my guy.

Five Great Truths About Government and Politics

These are possibly the five (5) best sentences you'll ever read:
 
1.   You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity, by legislating the
      wealth out of  prosperity.
 
2.   What one person receives without working for, another person
      must work for without receiving.
 
3.  The government cannot give to anybody anything that the
      government does not first take from somebody else.
 
4.  You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.

5.  When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work
     because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the
     other half gets the idea  that it does no good to work, because
     somebody else is going to get what they work for, this is the
     beginning of the end of any nation. [When fewer and fewer people work the economy collapses, as we are witnessing now in the nations of Europe.]
 
ELECTION 2012 IS COMING  and there will be a reckoning for the bolshevik mobs now on Wall Street and in major cities.

This Obama Bumper Sticker Says It All (Photo)

Sarah Palin Won't Run

Sarah Palin finally made a decision on whether or not to run for president in 2012. She decided not to.

It was the right decision. Good luck to Sarah and God bless her and her family.

Why I'm Rooting for Obama

This is scary.  Obama is doing so badly that even prominent liberal newspapers are panning him.  The New York Times and the Chicago Tribune have written gag-me editorials over Captain Zero in the past few days.  The Tribune mentioned that Ronald Reagan's slogan for the 1984 election was "It's morning in America."  They then suggested that Obama's slogan should be "It's midnight in a coal mine."

There's a growing push among Democrats for Obama to drop out of the presidential race for 2012.  This would allow a better Democrat to run, one who might have a better chance of winning.

Obama will have a very rough time getting reelected, barring a political miracle.  Hillary or some other Democrat could run without Obama's disastrous policy failures to account for.  We could get stuck with a Democrat president for another eight years.

I don't know about you, but I'm rooting for Obama to win re-nomination.  I would really miss the opportunity to vote against him one more time.

As an Undergrad, Barack Obama Was a Committed Socialist/Marxist

Former Marxist John Drew knew the young Obama as an undergraduate at Occidental College.  When Obama was running for president in 2008, Drew tried to warn the media about Obama's true political inclinations.  No one was interested -- possibly because the truth was just too controversial.   Drew writes at American Thinker:

I had met the young Barack Obama while he was a sophomore at Occidental College, and I knew that his commitment to socialism was deep, genuine, and longstanding. See my earlier article on American Thinker.

I had been a leader of the Marxist students at Occidental College myself, starting in 1976 when I founded the precursor of the Democrat Socialist Alliance on campus. The young Obama I knew was a Marxist socialist who would have been quite comfortable with Communist party members like his Hawaii mentor Frank Marshall Davis, retired domestic terrorists like Bill Ayers, or active socialist politicians like Illinois State Senator Alice Palmer.

The Obama I knew was nothing like the lifelong pragmatic centrist that he was pretending to be in the 2008 presidential campaign. When I talked politics with the young Obama, he expressed a profound commitment to bringing about a socialist economic system in the U.S. -- completely divorced from the profit motive -- which would occur, in his lifetime, through a potentially violent, Communist-style revolution. In this context, I saw my report on young Obama as a key piece of evidence suggesting a profound continuity in his belief system.

Drew's article confirms what many have believed, that Barack Obama is a closet Marxist, that his extreme policies were indeed formulated to destroy America as we know it so it can be replaced with something very different.

My Thoughts on Sarah Palin: Should She Fish or Cut Bait?

Sarah Palin impressed everyone on the right when she was picked to be the vice-presidential running mate to John McCain.  However, that was three years ago.  Since then the lady with the pretty legs has abdicated the governorship of Alaska, gone on speaking tours, written books, and supported conservative candidates wherever she could.

Sarah Palin is an ordinary citizen who rose to impressive heights in the political world.  However, she allowed herself to be hounded out of the Alaska governor's chair by ruthless leftists who abused Alaskan laws to persecute her with bogus claims of unlawful and illegal breaches of ethics.  Even though the dozen or so complaints were all defeated in court, defending against them became a full time job that incurred heavy expenses.  After her legal fees exceeded half a million dollars, Palin threw in the towel and resigned.  This was not a show of strength and the resignation effectively punctured her image as one tough grizzly bear mama.  Although I didn't immediately recognize it as such, this is the one act that seriously undermined my confidence in Palin for higher office.  Like a burr under a saddle, it chafed a bit, almost unnoticed, until finally the irritation could no longer be denied.  Sarah, I love you, but you haven't begun to convince me that you have a political future of any note.  If you couldn't withstand the pressures of the governor's chair, why should I believe you can withstand the ever greater pressures of the oval office?  If you are going to persuade me otherwise, I need to hear from you sooner rather than later.

Now sexy Sarah is motorcading about, giving speeches here and there, and making the world wonder if she will ever declare herself a presidential candidate for 2012.  It's time for Sarah to stop the silly games and declare herself a candidate or a non-candidate.  If it's the latter, she should then choose her favorite candidate and get to work supporting him or her.  Her silence makes her seem indecisive and uncommitted to the task of getting elected.

It's high time for Sarah to fish or cut bait.

Obama's Planned Jobs Speech Upstaged by GOP; Obama Peeved

Obama announced a presidential speech on job creation, but scheduled it for the same night of a televised Republican debate.  When informed that Republicans would not be present at his speech, Obama had to reschedule.  Now he's all mad and stuff.  Awww!

Obama giving a speech on job creation seems odd.  Maybe we can have a fox give a speech on how to protect chickens in hen houses.  Or perhaps we could schedule a bear to give a speech on vegetarianism.  Obama, the anti-job master of disaster, cannot give any speech on job creation that is credible, unless it consists of two words:  "I resign!"

Of course, Obama's planned speech is more about his re-election than it is about jobs.  The Big O is hoping to recapture some of that 2008 magic where a majority of voters saw him as some kind of Shaman, a being of light who spoke profound truths and was to be believed no matter how absurd or ambiguous his claims.  Now even liberals have recognized that the Magical O's Golden Oratory was an illusion borne of self-deception and fantasy.  His speeches now fool few and may even further harm his shrinking chances for re-election.  As one former believer states:

But here's the other observation: Not only isn't Obama the gifted TV performer he seemed to be during the 2008 campaign, TV is now one of his worst enemies.

My first fuzzy notion of this idea came while I watched Obama address the nation after the debt ceiling compromise with its crackpot, kick-the-can centerpiece of a so-called Super Committee. Obama had performed pitifully during the crisis, and yet, here he was on TV thinking he could spin the economic embarrassment as "Good President Battles Bad Congress" or Responsible Adult reins in Mean, Selfish Children."

But as I looked at the screen, I couldn't help thinking how diminished Obama looked and how thin his voice sounded. I wondered if there actually was something happening physically with him.

Meanwhile, the White House has announced that unemployment will remain persistently high through 2012, so why bother with a jobs speech? Probably so Obama can justify a new round of crazy, high spending and deficit expansion. Reckless spending may not create jobs, but it does buy votes from the underclass.

Why We Fight: Extraordinary times require extraordinary measures and lots of courage

Daniel Horowitz writes for Red State and also has his own blog, Red Meat Conservative.  He has a worthy post out that describes how dire and late the hour it is in America's collapse.  The post, "Why We Fight" says:

Historically, the growth of government statism has been irremediable. For every “100 yards” that they have advanced, our most successful counteroffensive has only slowed their rate of advance by a few yards. Now, after 80 years of soft-socialism, and 2 1/2 years of hard-Marxism, if nothing drastic is done, the government will control our healthcare sector, financial sector, and many other large components of our once proud free market. In other words, we are down big in the Super Bowl of socialism.

Horowitz doesn't just preach doom and gloom, but sees Obama's coming electoral defeat to be a major opportunity to fulfill some of Ronald Reagan's dreams, e.g. a balanced budget amendment, a 2/3 vote requirement for raising taxes, and a constitutional ban on price and wage controls.

Powerline Rebuts Daily Caller About Michele Bachmann's Headaches

Apparently the Daily Caller's story on Bachmann's "incapacitating" headaches is being refuted in many places.  One is from Powerline, who says the DC article was based on an anonymous source who may have exaggerated the facts.

Read the Powerline article here.

Okay, Michele, I still love ya.  I'd rather have a president with headaches than a president who is a headache.

GOP Says No, Obama Leaves Meeting in a Huff, The New GM Green Car

Obama Leaving In A Huff

Barack Obama, like some 14 year old with his own credit card, has spent the country to the point of bankruptcy for projects and works that no one wants.  (Between taking office in January 2009 and September 2010, Obama increased the federal debt by $2.5 trillion, which is more than the cumulative total of the national debt held by the public that was amassed by all U.S. presidents from George Washington through Ronald Reagan.)

Now the angry 14 year old wants more goodies, and insists that the limit on his credit card be raised so he can continue his reckless spending.  Giving Obama additional credit is like giving a teenager the keys to the liquor cabinet and the car simultaneously.  Even the highly astute, quick-thinking GOP establishment has begun to think this is a bad idea.  "Huuuh?  Whaaat?  I dunno, maybe we should say no?"

Obama wants elected Republicans to vote with Democrats to raise the debt ceiling so the latter can waste even more while avoiding responsibility.  If he can persuade "the stupid party" to go along, they will then accept equal blame for the fiscal disasters that follow.  Per Rush and other pundits, that will take the heat off Obama in the 2012 elections -- he can then claim the tsunami of federal debt now swamping the economy is a "bipartisan" effort, and that the GOP agreed with it, etc, etc.

Obama was so angry about the GOP refusal to go along, that he threw down his pacifier and left yesterday's meeting in a Huff.  He was last seen pedaling the thing down a corridor of the White House, beeping the little rubber horn as he went.

A Huff, of course, is the new GM totally green car that was built with stimulus money and costs only $86,795 each.  Since the new car is propelled by pedal power, it will have no negative impact on the environment.  The economy?  Well now, that's another story.  If re-elected, Obama plans to be driven to his second inauguration in one.

Note to Republicans in Congress:  Keep saying no.  Or else.  We vote.  Or not.

GOP Front Runner Mitt Romney Endorses Global Warming Hoax

Here's another good reason to oppose the nomination of Mitt Romney as the Republican candidate for president in 2012:  Romney believes in the man-made global warming hoax.

Those who believe this nonsense are less likely to oppose cap and trade schemes and Orwellian restraints on business, economic development and cheaper energy.  In other words, less freedom and less prosperity in pursuit of an unscientific myth.

This slick GOP establishment candidate must be defeated.

Moonbattery has the story here.

Herman Cain Moves Up In Zogby Poll

Herman Cain

The ARRA News Service is reporting that Herman Cain is rising in the Zogby Poll as more Republicans begin supporting him.  Cain is a businessman and a radio talk show host; he is not a lawyer (thank God) nor a politician.

Absolutely none of the establishment Republican candidates appeal to me, and only Herman Cain is clear and unequivocal on the issues that are most important to me (revive the economy, start an energy policy that will lead to cheap fuel, support Israel, support our military, etc).

At this point, Herman Cain is my man.  Imagine, common sense, actual values over and above getting and staying elected -- I like it.

Mike Huckabee Decides Not to Run for President in 2012

Mike Huckabee has decided not to run for President in 2012.  That's good, now I won't have to not vote for him.

On the good side, now Huck will have more time to practice playing bass guitar.  Believe me, he needs it.
