Ode to the Welfare State

Democrat Dialog

Father must I go to work?
No, my lucky son.
We’re living now on Easy Street.
On dough from Washington.

We’ve left it up to Uncle Sam,
So don’t get excercised.
Nobody has to give a damn–
We’ve all been subsidized.

 

Photo of Pres. Truman and Pres. Obama. The more things change…the more they stay the same.
But if Sam treats us all too well
And feeds us milk and honey,
Please, daddy, tell me what the hell
He’s going to use for money.

Don’t worry, bub, there’s not a hitch
In this here noble plan–
He simply soaks the filthy rich
And helps the common man.

But, father, won’t there come a time
When they run out of cash
And we have left them not a dime
When things will go to smash?

My faith in you is shrinking, son,
You nosy little brat;
You do too damn much thinking, son,
To be a Democrat.

While the preceding is applicable in the class warfare President Obama and congressional Democrats are currently engaging in, take heart in noting it was entered into the Congressional Record in November  of 1949 by Representative Clarence J. Brown (R-OH). It seems the Democrats’ free-spending ways, general fiscal irresponsibility, and class-warfare tactics have deep roots.

The Real Meaning Of MPH

[Husband]
Alright, we’re traveling from Logan to Boise and I just proposed a math question to my beautiful wife Chelsea. And the question very difficult to calculate (winks) is: If you are traveling 80 Miles Per Hour, how long does it take you to go 80 Miles? Ok, what do you think Chel? Let’s go through the process, what do you think?

[Chelsea]
Well, if I run the mile in about 9 minutes.

[Husband]
Wait, wait, what about the tire turning thing you were talking about? You think that affects it?

[Chelsea]
Well, I just guesstimating probably about – it turns about 400 times in about a mile

[Husband]
That’s just calculate – guessing? Calculations?

[Chelsea]
Ya, I don’t know how you work that out?

[Husband]
I’ll be tough.

[Chelsea]
Ya, so, I don’t know, cause if I run a mile in like 9 minutes than – that’s what I mean – that’s when I’m out of shape, 7 minutes is like when I’m really in shape. And that takes me a mile. And we’re going 80 miles, and I’m running in about probably about 10 miles an hour, if that.

[Husband]
Ya

[Chelsea]
And that’s pretty fast for a human being, I think. But, I mean, it’s gotta take at least 15 minutes or something

[Husband]
15 minutes, that’s pretty close.

[Chelsea]
Go 80 miles?

[Husband]
Do’ you wanna know what the answer is?

[Chelsea]
What?

[Husband]
Think about: 80 Miles Per Hour?

[Chelsea]
Ya

[Husband]
So how long does it take me to go 80 Miles, if I’m traveling 80 Miles – an hour?

[Chelsea]
You are driving fast, you are driving faster than – a minute a mile.

[Husband]
Ya, totally!

[Chelsea]
So, it – I would whack 80 in half and that is 40. Cause I mean, your probably going 2 minutes a mile.

[Husband]
Just whack it in half!?

[Chelsea]
Well, depends on – I mean, sometimes tires turn faster than others.

[Husband]
Ya, definitely effects it.

[Chelsea]
Cause I mean, I think a truck probably is slower cause it weighs more

[Husband]
Huh Huh

[Chelsea]
But, I think, it also matters if your car is a stick or automatic.

[Husband]
Ok – Chel?!

[Chelsea]
What?

[Husband]
Think about the term miles per hour?

[Chelsea]
MPH

[Husband]
MPH? So if I say I’m driving 80 miles per hour, that means I am going to go 80 miles in an hour.

[Chelsea]
No you are not because you are driving faster than a mile a minute. I can run 1 mile in 7 minutes. And that’s a 10. Ok, so, I mean, that’s booking it too!

[Husband]
Ok, so if I’m going 60 miles per hour?

[Chelsea]
Then you’ll – you will probably take about 30 minutes.

[Husband]
(laughs)

[Chelsea]
I would just cut it right in half.

[Husband]
(laughs) I’m trying to explain the answer but –

[Chelsea]
Well, you’re not making sense because I make sense – you do not make sense. My – my cars tires, maybe a little – they’ are kind of a little flat so they may not move as faster as like a police officers tires that are full. But I just

[Husband]
(laughs) Ok, the answer?

[Chelsea]
My tires are turning, maybe – say about 400 times per mile.

[Husband]
Ok, Imma tell you the answer. You ready for the answer?

[Chelsea]
They gotta be – like a thousand.

[Husband]
You ready for the answer? The answer to –

[Chelsea]
You don’t know the answer!

[Husband]
I do know the answer.

[Chelsea]
You can guesstimate, just like I guesstimate.

[Husband]
I’m not guesstimating that. I’m using math and science. I’m using – I’m using my own term.

[Chelsea]
(Ha Ha)

[Husband]
Chel – the answer to the question – how far – no! How – (laughs) how long does it take me to travel 80 miles if I’m driving 80 miles per hour. The answer is 1 hour. Your guess was close.

[Chelsea]
Ok, say, you drive 60 miles per hour at 60 miles – you wanna go 60 miles an hour, is that an hour?

[Husband]
Yup

[Chelsea]
What about 40 miles at 40 miles per hour?

[Husband]
Then you’ll go 40 miles in one hour.

[Chelsea]
No you won’t! You cut that in half. They are going more than a mile a minute.

[Husband]
(laughs)

[Chelsea]
Okay, let’s time. Let’s time, right now and see. Please stop filming.

Chelsea – The Real Meaning Of MPH. So, it – I would whack 80 in half and that is 40. Cause I mean, your probably going 2 minutes a mile.

Race Relations Are Much Worse Under Obama

By Alicia Colon, aliciacolon.com

aliciav.colon@gmail.com 

If you’re a white person who voted for Barack Obama believing that his election would usher in a post-racial era in America, you must be very disappointed. Race relations have in fact never been more volatile and the nation is now sitting on a time bomb as we draw closer to another election. Whose fault is it? Race-baiting demagogues like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson are feverishly trying to exploit the recent killing of a young black man in Florida for their own selfish agenda to boost their fading relevance. Typically they have jumped to conclusions before all the actual facts have been uncovered.

George Zimmerman

They are once again inciting racial violence by calling the killing of a black teenager, Trayvon Martin, a bias crime because the shooter, George Zimmerman, was first purported to be a white man. It turns out Zimmerman is a Hispanic from a biracial family but why let a little thing like the truth stop them from provoking a mob. The New Black Panther party, which has already been protected by Attorney General Eric Holder, has offered a bounty of 10k on Zimmerman’s head. Director Spike Lee, ever sensitive to attacks on blacks, re-tweeted the address of the Zimmerman family. Now why would he do that unless he hoped that a vindictive mob would exact payback for young Martin’s death?

The liberal media jumped on the bandwagon to help the efforts of these race-exploiters by posting a photo of the young Martin as a bright-eyed youth full of innocence. That photo provided by Martin’s family is in stark contrast to the one posted on his Facebook displaying a much tougher demeanor. An eyewitness to the shooting has disputed the media’s version and claims that the victim had actually attacked Zimmerman and this account was the reason police did not make an arrest. Since I was not there, prudence would dictate I pause before drawing a conclusion and await all the determining facts but that is not how Sharpton and Jackson operate.

Rallies are erupting all over the country as youths seeking a cause to prove their relevance in life join to condemn an injustice that may not exist. Who profits from the t-shirt sales and other merchandise eulogizing the martyred black man? Follow the money is never the action taken by those determined to, as Rahm Emmanuel once intoned, “Never let a crisis go to waste.”

The 2008 election should have forewarned us about the thuggery that was to follow when the Black Panthers were allowed to intimidate white voters at a polling site. The intelligent and fair minded members of the black communities are appalled at what has occurred since Obama took office and appointed Eric Holder as Attorney General and general apologist for his errors in judgment. Kevin Jackson just wrote in his Black Sphere blog, “Obama and the Left are taking the Trayvon Martin story and making it about racism, gun control, and INTOLERANCE, while ignoring the THOUSANDS of tragedies that happen every day around this country.

“Hyper-sensitive race activists never become outraged by scenes of black on white crimes which somehow never get the attention of the media yet go viral on YouTube. A plethora of racial anarchic events by black thugs are routinely occurring but will not be evident in mainstream media reports.

“The latest report of hate crimes by blacks occurred recently in Kansas City where a 13-year old was doused with gasoline and lit on fire by two teenagers who said, “This is what you deserve. You get what you deserve, white boy.’”

Last August, WTMJ reported, “According to witnesses, a group of anywhere from 30 to 100 young black men descended on the Wisconsin State Fair last night, beating fairgoers and looting carnival games, in what witnesses said were racially-motivated attacks.” One eyewitness Eric, an Iraq war veteran, recalled, “I had a black couple on my right side, and these black kids were running in between all the cars, and they were pounding on my doors and trying to open up doors on my car, and they didn’t do one thing to this black couple that was in this car next to us. They just kept walking right past their car. They were looking in everybody’s windshield as they were running by, seeing who was white and who was black. Guarantee it.”

In Texas, Barry Crawford, a black man, shot and killed a white man, Steven Hardin, over a parking dispute. He was found guilty but the jury sentenced Crawford to 10 years adjudication, a form of probation-for murder. There have been no rallies for this injustice.

Whites are not the only target of black thugs as reported by CBS local news in Georgia. Davis Do, an Asian American, endured a tremendous beating by a group of young Negros. Some of the assailants were college football players. The attack happened in McDonough, Georgia, at a bar. The victim said that they put his body under a car, thinking that he was dead.

Anti-Semitic incidents are also disregarded especially if found to be committed by Muslims who for some reason (cowardice?) are treated with kid gloves by the global press. In Toulouse, France, the brutal murder of a rabbi and three children was at first leaked as the work of Neo-Nazis but was in fact committed by a young jihadist.

The New York Times, the Washington Post and other mainstream media outlets will cover the Trayvon Martin killing ad nauseum as will the television networks ignoring other bias crimes. I watched a CNN report interviewing other blacks in the city who retold their own horror stories with the Sandford, Florida, police department but this TV spot did not give the police an opportunity to dispute these narratives. Fair and balanced? I think not!

Murders against women condoned by sharia law fail to raise the outrage by feminist groups and again will only be exposed on conservative sites on the Web or talk radio. We are living in a time where propaganda of the liberal point of view trumps all and while the truth is out there, it’s nonexistent in the mainstream media.

On March 1st, Andrew Breitbart, passed away at the age of 43 and a great warrior of the truth was lost to America. This man established the Big sites to expose the lies of politicians and public figures and ferret out the truth backed by videos and iron clad documentation. I feel very proud to be a contributor at several of the Breitbart sites.

While Andrew may have passed on his legacy is the continuing vetting of Barack Obama that the media failed to do and the resulting stream of facts about his congenital socialist core that are emerging from his successors are mind-boggling.

Unless one has access to the Internet where all one has to do is log on to YouTube and search for bias incidents committed against whites, one might believe Jesse Jackson when he says that only blacks are being attacked.

No wonder liberals are determined to shut down free speech on the airwaves and the Net.

Want the truth? It’s out there but can you handle it?

Newt Gingrich at Staten Island Tea Party town hall meeting

Newt Gingrich at Staten Island Tea Party town hall meeting

Gingrich said he would challenge Obama to a series of Lincoln-Douglas style debates if nominated.

“And let’s be fair. If he wants a TelePrompTer, he gets a TelePrompTer. If you had to defend Obamacare, wouldn’t you want a TelePrompTer?”

“Barack Obama is the best food stamp president in American history. I would like to be the best paycheck president in American history.”

“We couldn’t have gotten done what we got done without Clinton”
