		<description><![CDATA[My philosophy regarding Barrack Obama is pretty simple; if he likes something, I’m automatically suspicious of it.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A dead Muammar Gaddafi has been plastered all over our TV and computer screens for the past 24 hours. Besides our progressive <em>Nobel Peace Prize</em> winning president and his sycophants, and the family and friends of the victims of Pan Am flight 103 that was brought down by a Libyan terrorist bomb over Lockerbie, Scotland in December of 1988, who is cheering his demise &#8211; and why?
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>While I can’t blame the family and friends of the victims of the flight 103 bombing for wanting Gaddafi dead, I have serious questions as to why Obama is so ecstatic over his death.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>My personal philosophy regarding Barrack Obama is pretty simple; if he likes something, I’m automatically suspicious of it. Why does Barack Obama want new leadership in Libya, and for that matter, Egypt? If he really gives a rat’s tukus about tyrannical dictators oppressing their people, why has he been as quiet as a church mouse when it comes to Iran? Why did he remain silent when <em>Ahmadinejad’s thugs were shooting and beating up anti-government demonstrators in the streets of Tehran? Where was the financial, military, and even the moral support that he’s given to both the Egyptian and Libyan demonstrators? </em>
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>By the way, just who is now in charge of Egypt, and who will now be in charge of Libya? We still don’t really know! What we do know is that the Muslim Brotherhood</em><em> has played a role in both uprisings. Gaddafi was nothing a phony Muslim crossdresser, while Mubarak was way too cozy, by Muslim standards</em><em>, to Israel and the West. Ahmadinejad, on the other hand, is the real deal.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>As usual, our esteemed media is just regurgitating the Obama talking points instead of being real journalists and asking real questions. Why did we support the Libyan opposition and the Egyptian opposition? Why is it in the United State’s best interest that Mubarak and Gaddafi be removed? Who are the new players in Egypt and Libya, and why are we supporting them?
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p><em>And by the way, where are all the anti-war peacenik leftists? Oh, I forgot, they’re all crashing in a park near Wall Street!</em>
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>If I were speaking of any other 20<sup>th</sup> or 21<sup>st</sup> century United States president and claiming that he was purposely attempting to destabilize the Middle East even more than it already is, I would probably be considered a tin foil hat wearing kook. But I feel extremely sane in making that accusation against our current president.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Again, Gaddafi was an evil low-life POS who did absolutely no good during his miserable life, and no sane person should mourn his impromptu departure from our world. I truly hope that the families of the flight 103 victims find some peace and satisfaction. However, to attach any heroics or pure intentions to Barack Obama and the people who are now in charge of Libya is very naive, if not outright delusional.

		<description><![CDATA[Please Mr. Obama, calling you a socialist isn’t in the least bit a stretch – and you know it!]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On Monday our illegitimate adolescent president threw a hissy fit over a question asked by a Tea Party activist.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Tea Party activist Ryan Rhodes attended a town hall meeting held by the campaigning Obama in Decorah, Iowa where he demanded to know if VP Joe Biden called the Tea Party terrorists during the debt ceiling debate. Obama and Mr. Rhodes then ran into each other outside the event where Obama was mingling with the crowd. Mr. Rhodes asked Obammy once again about the terrorist remark and received a tit-for-tat reply much like one 12 year old would give to another 12 year old.<em> ‘I know what you are but what am I?’</em>
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Our president&#8217;s retort to Mr. Rhodes’s was as follows:
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<div style="border:1px Solid #EDEDED;padding:1.2em;background-color:#EDEDED;"><strong>&#8220;As someone who’s been called a socialist, not born here, taking away freedoms for providing health care, I’m all for lowering the rhetoric.&#8221;</strong></div>
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>See Fox News story and video<a href="http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/08/15/obama-conversation-with-tea-partier-gets-heated/"> here</a>.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Typical Alinskyite tactics: feign righteous indignation at any inconvenient truth that your detractors point out. It’s sort of like when the late John Gotti pretended to be insulted when someone called him a mobster.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>If you are saying that you aren’t a socialist, Mr. Obama, I actually agree with you. You’re an outright Marxist! If you’re not a Socialist, Communist, or Marxist, when did you make this conversion to a capitalist? In you own supposed memoirs you stated the following:
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<div style="border:1px Solid #EDEDED;padding:1.2em;background-color:#EDEDED;"><strong>“I chose my friends carefully. The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos.</strong> <strong>The Marxist professors</strong> <strong>and structural feminists”.</strong></div>
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>I know that nobody ever asked you this before, but what exactly did you mean by that Mr. Obama?
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Also, why is it that you spew class warfare rhetoric every chance you get? Why is it that you have a giant bug up your ass in regards to private jet use? Why did you basically take over the American auto business as well as the American health care system? Do you call that free-market capitalism? Why is it that The Communist Party USA has endorsed your candidacy for reelection? And, is it just a coincidence that some of your biggest international supporters (Fidel Castro &amp; Hugo Chavez) just happen to be Marxists/Communists? I could go on and on Mr. Obama, but my readers would probably get bored. It’s all old news already!
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>  </p>
<p>Please Mr. Obama, calling you a socialist isn’t in the least bit a stretch – and you know it!
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>As far as you being accused of not being born here, perhaps it’s because you still haven’t proved that you were. Your long form birth certificate that you released in April is an obvious fraud. Many experts have come forward with evidence that the document you released is a phony, while there is yet one expert to come forward and vouch for its authenticity. Many of us still remember Bill Clinton’s red faced, finger wagging, righteous indignation at being accused of having an affair with perky little Monica. So please spare us the theatrics because it’s only a matter of time before the fraud you perpetrated on the American people is finally exposed.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p><em>By the way, where are all of the usual suspects in the MSM calling Obama’s tit-for-tat argument with an American citizen unpresidential? We all know what these pathetic fools would be saying about President Bush if he had a public argument with a Code Pink member. Not only would Bush, or any other Republican president, be called unpresidential, but they would also be accused of being a bully.</em>
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>So spare us your whining and crying, Mr. Obama. And while you’re at it, stop portraying yourself as a victim. You are, after all, the POTUS. So why don’t you man-up and defend your record and positions instead of demonizing anyone and everyone who disagrees with you?
<div style="height:20px;"></div>

		<description><![CDATA[ Where was Obama on September 11th 2001? It’s not a stretch to imagine that he was hanging out with his pals Rev. Jeremiah Wright and Bill Ayers toasting the event with champagne and gleefully discussing “America’s chickens coming home to roost.” 
]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The shamelessness and hypocrisy of the current administration residing at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is not only mind boggling, but it’s highly offensive to anyone with a speck of decency running through their veins.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Following the demise of Osama bin Laden, Barack Obama is now trying to benefit politically from the terrorist attacks of 9/11. In essence, he now wants to replace George Bush as the 9/11 president. He wants to personally attach himself to something he has no personal attachment to. It’s all politics – politics of the lowest form!
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>George W. Bush and Rudy Giuliani were both viciously attacked by the <em>sick left</em> for trying to capitalize politically on the events of September 11<sup>th</sup> 2001. The facts remain that Bush was the president when that evil event took place. And, Rudy Giuliani was not only the mayor of NYC at the time, but he personally knew dozens of the people who were murdered by the vile Muslim terrorists. Where was Obama on September 11<sup>th</sup> 2001? Knowing what we know about Barack Obama, it’s not a stretch to imagine that he was hanging out with his pals Rev. Jeremiah Wright and Bill Ayers toasting the event with champagne while gleefully discussing <em>“America’s chickens coming home to roost.” </em>
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>In spite of his glaring weaknesses as a so-called Conservative President, George W. Bush has always managed to display a deep reverence for Ground Zero and all it represents. He has never, ever, attempted to exploit the site or the families of the victims. That’s part of the reason, I’m sure, that President Bush declined Obama’s invitation (trap) to appear with him at Ground Zero today.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Only a total moron would fall for the cynical ploy that Obama and his people are now going forward with. Only pathetic spaghetti-spined “independents” could possibly be swayed into believing that Barack Obama is a patriotic tough-on-terrorism president who actually gives a damn about the events of 9/11/2001. Only self-deceiving idiots will be fooled by the shameless and hypocritical actions of this president in the wake of the OBL killing.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well what do you know? Obama has caved into the “Arab Street” once again and decided to not release the already infamous OBL death photos. Our <em>Commander in Cheat</em> compared releasing the photo with spiking a football after scoring a touchdown.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>How eloquent!
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>In reality, the story should probably read: <strong><em>President Jarrett decides against releasing photo</em></strong>. As more and more people are beginning to realize that Barack Obama is an empty suit pretending to be POTUS, they are also starting to realize that others (adults) are making most of the big decisions in the White House. Don’t get me wrong, Valerie Jarrett (<em>senior advisor to Obama</em>) is just as committed a Marxist as the president; and  even more ruthless than either Barry or Michelle – a feared enforcer for the Chicago Political Mob. However, she actually enjoys the act of “governing” much more than Obama does.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p><a href="http://barnhardt.biz/">Ann Barnhardt</a>, who recently appeared on the premier of the <strong><a href="http://urbaninfidel.blogspot.com/">Urban Infidel Show</a></strong> on <strong>Blog Talk Radio</strong>, opined that Valerie Jarrett and Michelle Obama actually run the White House while Barry watches ESPN.  I couldn’t agree with Ms. Barnhardt more!
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p><div id="attachment_7471" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 317px"><a href="http://www.gothamresistance.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/valerie-jarrett.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-7471" title="valerie jarrett" src="http://www.gothamresistance.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/valerie-jarrett.jpg" alt="" width="307" height="231" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Valerie Jarrett: Obama’s trusted and powerful consigliere</p></div>
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Anyone with the ability to read must already know the obvious. That being: the killing of OBL was done in spite of Obama, not with his leadership. He waited 16 hours to finally give the stamp of approval after it was determined that the smelly bearded low-life was indeed in the compound. Obama, or whoever eventually made the decision, opted for a Navy Seal strike team over just leveling the entire &#8220;compound&#8221; with a laser guided missile. The lives of &#8220;innocent Pakistanis&#8221; are much more important than the lives of U.S. Navy Seals &#8211; it seems. The military and Muslim factors in this operation made our great leader extremely uncomfortable in taking the lead. He finally agreed to the strike when he realized that passing on <em>taking-out</em> OBL after his location was confirmed would be another death blow to his reelection.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Isn&#8217;t it great to have such a principled president in the White House?
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>It’s actually pretty funny, and pathetic too, to see Obama, the former community organizer and all-around rabble rouser speak on anything having to do with military operations – in spite of his trusty teleprompter. <em>He should be taken as seriously as I would if I stood behind a podium and talked about crocheting techniques. Regardless of how much I was briefed on the subject, people just wouldn’t buy it!</em> On the other hand, Obama is right at home when he’s speaking about ‘taxing the rich’ or ‘wealth redistribution’ – with the help of his trusty teleprompter, of course.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>So it seems that once again, the Jarrett &amp; Obama team based their decision regarding the OBL photos on the anticipated reaction from the “Muslim World” or “Arab Street.” In other words, kowtowing to Islamist nut-jobs and kissing their ugly hairy butts.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>

<p>What else is new?

		<description><![CDATA[So, with all due respect (which is none) Mr. Obama, tax cuts are not government spending!]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Liar in Chief (<em>aka Obama</em>) announced his budget deficit reduction plan yesterday. As usual, all we got was arrogance, hyper-partisanship, class warfare rhetoric, and of course, lies, lies, and more lies.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>What incensed me most was his shameless lack of sincerity in accusing Republicans of “spending” on tax cuts; tax cuts that have been in effect for almost a decade – the infamous <em>Bush Tax Cuts!</em>
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<div style="border:1px Solid #EDEDED;padding:1.2em;background-color:#EDEDED;">Barack Obama:<br />
“There’s nothing serious about a plan that claims to reduce the deficit by spending a trillion dollars on tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires.”</div>
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>How on earth is a tax cut, <em>any tax cut</em>, considered spending? I may not have gone to Harvard like our beloved leader, but I wish some Ivy League lib would explain that one to me!
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>It’s been proven over and over again that tax revenue goes up when taxes are lower. Human nature is such that people will work harder and invest more when they are allowed to reap benefits from their labor. Therefore: <em>lower tax rates</em> = <em>more revenue for the government </em>= more money available for debt payment, and <em>yes</em>, spending!
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>So, with all due respect (<em>which is none</em>) Mr. Obama, tax cuts are <em>not</em> government spending! The government <em>spending</em> the hard earned tax dollars that are confiscated from the tax payer is <em>spending</em>. <em>Got it? Capice? Comprende?</em>
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p><strong>BTW Mr President:</strong> <em>Can we please see your birth cirtificate?</em>
<div style="height:20px;"></div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just who are these so-called rebels we are supporting in Libya? Sure, they’re against Gaddafi, and Gaddafi is a bad guy, but who are they? Is their opposition to Gaddafi based on lack of freedom and a dismal standard of living, or is it based on something else?
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Right from the start, the media has labeled the turmoil in the Middle East that started in Egypt as a quest for “democracy.” I have always been a bit more skeptical. The problem as I see it is that Islam has never been a big fan of free elections or free market capitalism. Most of the world’s Islamic nations are run by a king/tyrant or religious clerics, and their economies can at best be described as socialist/fascist. Muslims also tend to expect government to provide for them. That’s part of the reason why they have been flocking to the socialist utopia of Western Europe for the past few decades.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>In the early eighties, the Mudja Hadine fighting the Soviets in Afghanistan were naively and romantically portrayed as “freedom fighters” and friends of the United States. Sure, they were friends of ours while we were funding and arming them, but what happened when the smoke cleared and the Soviets left? They became the Taliban and al-Qaeda – that’s what!
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Who is the leader of the anti-Gaddafi rebels? Is the United States and Europe holding talks with this person or persons? Are we privy to the future plans of these rebels if and when Gaddafi is finally removed? Is one wacko cross-dressing tyrant going to be replaced by another wacko Islamic extremist mullah?
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p> <br />
As usual, the Obama administration hasn’t given much thought to their participation in the anti-Gaddafi air strikes. In fact, our participation is sort of based on what others are doing &#8211; notably France. For the first time in our history we now seem to be following the lead of Europe and NATO instead of the other way around. The United States under Obama is no longer a leader, but a follower.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Much like our last presidential election in 2008 where the majority of voters didn’t really understand or care what they were voting for, (except that they didn’t like the previous guy) the winner of that election and his partners in the media are now supporting something they don’t really understand or care about. And much like our 2008 election, this is could eventually come back and bite us in the ass.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As the disaster in Japan grows more ominous and uncertain by the moment, our beloved president (gaaaag!) is busy choosing his bracket for the upcoming NCAA basketball tournament. In fairness to Obama, that’s not all he’s been up to. He’s also managed to get in his usual rounds of golf. You can’t say our president isn’t a multitasker.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>To call this president disengaged is the understatement of the year. It’s kind of like saying that Michael Moore is a bit chubby.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Not only has Obama seemed disengaged from the catastrophe in Japan, but he’s also been more than a bit oblivious to the ongoing turmoil in the Middle East, and more importantly, its effect on gasoline prices. Hell, while riots were breaking out all over the Middle East, Obama and the lovely Michelle hosted a Motown tribute and concert at the White House. Who says that Obama’s priorities aren’t in order?
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Of course, Obama has his usual supporters telling us with a straight face that he’s constantly being briefed on all developments; that he’s on top of everything; that a man with his responsibility is entitled to privacy and leisure time. Even former Vice President Dan Quayle managed to slip away from the country club long enough to defend Obama on Fox Business Network.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<div style="border:1px Solid #EDEDED;padding:1.2em;background-color:#EDEDED;">Vice President Quayle:</p>
<p>“I’m glad he’s out playing golf. I happen to be a golfer.”</p></div>
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Great reasoning Mr. Vice President! I suppose if you weren’t a golfer, then it wouldn’t be OK. Just another example of the great intellect that Mr. Quayle is so well known for.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<div style="border:1px Solid #EDEDED;padding:1.2em;background-color:#EDEDED;">More from Vice President Quayle:</p>
<p>“I mean, what do you want him to do, stay in his house and be on the phone with the ambassador to Japan all the time?”</p></div>
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>With all due respect Mr. Vice President, go away already &#8211; please! Perhaps you should allow your son, Rep. Ben Quayle, to speak for the Quayle name from now on. You know, the son who was just elected to the congress in Arizona with the strong backing of the Tea Party; the son who while campaigning in August of 2010 called Obama “the worst president in history.”
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Even if Obama is constantly in touch with his advisors and routinely being briefed on the crisis in Japan and the Middle East, it&#8217;s hard to overlook the glaring hypocrisy factor. Many of us recall how George Bush was forced to stop playing golf, and even riding his bike because of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Where was Dan Quayle when President Bush was being raked over the coals for even taking a coffee break? At the time, Democrat strategists as well as Republican talking heads lectured us on the fact that in politics perception can easily become reality. It looked bad for President Bush to be engaged in anything that could even remotely be seen as relaxing.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Not only is Barack Obama disengaged from world affairs, (at least those that impact the United States) but he’s also still very much detached from the domestic economic realities that are affecting millions upon millions of Americans. If and when Obama addresses the Japan crisis, it’ll be to put the kibosh on nuclear energy and push for his Marxist “green economy&#8221; that consists of conservation, wind mills, solar panels, and a lower standard of living for the vast majority of Americans. Meanwhile, the White House shindigs continue as do the pick-up basketball games, golf outings, and vacations. But that’s what we get when we elect an adolescent to do an adults job.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Gee what a shocker! Obama has decided to break one of his prized campaign promises and allow the military tribunals to resume at the GITMO hotel, spa &#038; resort. Of course, this also obviously means that GITMO won’t be closed anytime soon as he had promised the “Muslim World” and all his lefty supporters. What could have possibly caused this sudden shift in thinking?
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p><a href="http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/147871-obama-military-commissions-to-resume-for-gitmo-detainees">Read The Hill story here</a>.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Obama’s decision on GITMO has absolutely nothing to do with a shift in thinking on terrorism or national security. His decision is strictly and purely…<strong>POLITICAL</strong>!
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>With the economy still in the crapper, with most of the Middle East in turmoil, and with gasoline prices edging near or above the $5 per gallon mark, Obama desperately needed to do something popular…he needed to be on the right side of the majority of the American people – for once!
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Instead of being the above it all savior of America (and the world) that he was made out to be by the corrupt media, Obama has proven once again to be nothing more than a sleazy politician; a politician with absolutely no leadership skills whatsoever; a politician whose top priorities are poll numbers and reelection.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Obama’s cynical ploy will do little to change people’s minds about reelecting him in 2012. The only thing it’ll do is temporarily raise the ire of his Code Pink supporters who’ll eventually forgive him and continue throw their full support behind him anyway. After all, his Marxist anti-American supporters fully understand what’s really in his heart and mind.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Now that President Obama did something he mistakenly believes will placate the majority of the American people, he can go back to ignoring the economy, ignoring the riots in the Middle East, ignoring the skyrocketing gasoline prices, and get back to his real passion of throwing tax-payer funded shindigs at the White House.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Once again, I plan on being anywhere or doing anything other than watching tonight’s State of the Union address. Living in NYC surrounded by moronic liberals, I already get to hear all the bullshit I can handle.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>What’s the point anyway? Left-wingers are the most predictable creatures on the face of the earth. Those of us with functioning brains already know what Obama is going to say. In a nutshell, he’s going to take a page out of Bill Clinton’s book by pretending to be a moderate in order to snooker those silly gullible Independents. He’ll say all the right things, he’ll get endless standing ovations, and the media will marvel at his great oratory…err&#8230; teleprompter reading skills.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Here’s a quick list of things I may be busy doing during the address.</p>
<ol>
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<li><strong><em>Tuning into RuPaul’s Drag Race on VH1</em></strong></li>
<li><strong><em>Taking a teaspoon from my Kitchen cabinet and clearing any remaining snow in front of my building.</em></strong></li>
<li><strong><em>Searching the neighborhood for stray cats that need to be spayed and neutered.</em></strong></li>
<li><strong><em>Listening to a double CD of Barry Manilow’s greatest hits.</em></strong></li>
<li><strong><em>Looking for a proctologist who is open late so I can get my first ever colonoscopy.</em></strong></li>
</ol>
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Unfortunately, any of these tasks will only prolong the inevitable because I’m sure I’ll be hearing about Obama’s brilliant speech and even more brilliant proposals for months to come. Then again, I can always book a six month tour of the  swamplands of Outer Mongolia.

		<description><![CDATA[That’s all we need; an entitlement program for freakin diapers!]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I read a story through a <a href="http://www.drudgereport.com/">Drudge Report</a> link about a large group of people on the outskirts of Marietta, Georgia lining up outside a “community center” to apply for assistance (aka handouts) for heat and power bills.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<div style="border:1px Solid #EDEDED;padding:1.2em;background-color:#EDEDED;"><strong>From the Atlanta Journal Constitution:</strong>
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p><strong>“We’re freezing,” said Lecher Eady, a Marietta mother who arrived at midnight seeking help with her bills. “Our hands are cold, our feet are cold.”</strong>
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p><strong>Eady, the mother of triplets in diapers, said she has been out of work since August.</strong>
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p><strong>“I’ve had three jobs this year, and I’ve been laid off from all three,” she said. “I’m grateful just to get any type of help they’ll give me.”</strong>
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p><strong>Eady said she is trying to start a nonprofit organization, “Babies Need Diapers,” that would provide diapers to low-income single mothers.</strong>
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p><strong>“We have assistance for food, we have assistance for clothing, but we don’t have assistance for diapers,” she said. “That’s my biggest struggle right now.”</strong></div>
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Read complete story <a href="http://www.ajc.com/news/cobb/hundreds-line-up-in-763455.html">Here</a>.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>That’s all we need; an entitlement program for <em>freakin diapers</em>!
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>If I seem cold-hearted, that’s too damn bad! I don’t necessarily blame these people completely; a large portion of the blame goes to the despicable left-wing progressives that have been running wild throughout our government for the last 40 + years. They thrive on this type of scenario. They jump for joy when they see pathetic people lining up for government assistance for their basic needs.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>This is Obama’s dream for America!
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Anyone with a basic understanding of politics and history who doesn’t have their head stuck up their colon understands the fact that the <em>Left</em> is most powerful when large numbers of people are destitute and dependent. Obama’s economic policies are designed to do just that! Obama and his ilk aren’t stupid enough to believe that massive deficit spending, tax increases, and devaluation of the dollar will create economic growth. Excuse me for sounding like Glenn Beck, but the system (capitalism) has to be discredited and destroyed in order to put a new system (Socialism/Marxism) in place.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Allow me now to really get politically incorrect.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Why is it that whenever there is a large mass of people lining up for government handouts and/or subsidies, they are almost exclusively black? Sorry, I know I&#8217;m not supposed to notice that. I know that I&#8217;m supposed to censor my own speech and thoughts. I&#8217;m supposed to, but damn if I will! Many of us unfortunately remember the crowd in Detroit lining up for <em>&#8220;Obama Money&#8221;</em> coming from his <em>&#8220;stash.&#8221;</em> Who could forget the delusional <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P36x8rTb3jI">Peggy Joseph</a> tricking herself into believeing that she would no longer have to worry about paying her mortgage and filling her car with gasoline once Obama got elected. I would post the video, but I&#8217;ve used it so often that Ms. Joseph may start demanding royalties.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>How much money have the American taxpayers already given to fund the programs of the failed Great Society? Why is it that some people seem to be perpetually dependent on government handouts – other people’s money? Why is it that some people can’t seem to take advantage of the opportunities given to them? Why are there third and fourth generations of families still living in subsidized housing?  What good have the decades of affirmative action, quotas, and set asides done? The racism card is so old that it’s getting more difficult to use with a straight face. We now have the &#8220;Historic Black President” who was supposed to make everyone’s life peachy keen. Black Americans overwhelmingly supported Barack Obama in 2008, and they continue in their blind support heading into 2011 as their standard of living sinks lower and lower.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>The sad part of these kinds of stories is that the people who participate are so apathetic as to not be even slightly embarrassed, ashamed, or self conscious about openly seeking hand-outs from the taxpayer. Obama&#8217;s got them right where he wants them! 
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
<p>Sad, really sad.
<div style="height:20px;"></div>
