Texas governor says Obama’s making America socialist, foreign Communists seem to agree

Texas Governor Rick Perry didn’t mince words in a recent speech: “This is an administration hell-bent on taking America towards a socialist country.”

Texas Governor Rick Perry didn’t mince words in a recent speech:

“This is an administration hell-bent on taking America towards a socialist country.”

While American leftists find this comment shocking, foreign leftists seem to agree with Perry.

Breitbart.com reports:

The Chinese have learned English from his speeches and celebrated the way he rolls up his sleeves. Now President Barack Obama is finally coming, and he’s being greeted with “Oba Mao” T-shirts and a statue of him that bursts into flames.

The Associated Press reveals that Fidel Castro has a man crush on Obama and warmly welcomes him to the ranks of Communist leaders. Or his boudoir. We’re not sure which Castro wants more.

Fidel Castro appears to have a fascination with the American leader that would make Obama Girl jealous, writing obsessively not only about his politics, but of his youth and vigor.

And unlike with past American heads-of-state — he slammed President George W. Bush as a genocidal drunk — Castro seems to genuinely like the fresh face in Washington.

Since handing over the Cuban presidency to his brother in February 2008, the 83-year-old has continued to publish his thoughts in essays called “Reflections of Comrade Fidel,” which are dutifully printed in state media and read repeatedly on government-controlled radio and television.

Hardly a week goes by without a mention of his nemesis to the north, the most recent on Thursday. In an opinion piece that took up an entire newspaper page, Castro waxed philosophic about everything from Obama’s Asia trip to his prospects for re-election.

Last month, Castro pronounced it a good thing that the American president was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. In September, he termed Obama’s call-to-action on global warming courageous.

See, Obama is bringing people together. Who ever thought an evil Republican fascist racist homophobe like Rick Perry would find himself agreeing with Fidel Castro, the wise elder of the “progressive” movement?

You’re going to die. World leaders admit no global warming treaty will be passed.

Copenhagen, we were told, was our last chance to save the world from global warming. That was then. This is now. And world leaders now agree that no meaningful agreement will be arrived at in Copenhagen.

Gordon Brown demonstrates the liberal masturbation that is global warming.
Gordon Brown demonstrates the liberal masturbation that is global warming.

Copenhagen, we were told, was our last chance to save the world from global warming.

British Prime Minister Gordon Brown set the ominous tone a few weeks ago when he said we had just 50 days to save the world. “If we do not reach a deal at this time,” Brown warned, “let us be in no doubt: once the damage from unchecked emissions growth is done, no retrospective global agreement, in some future period, can undo that choice….”

“… the Copenhagen agreement is almost certainly the world’s last chance to put global emissions onto a trajectory that can keep us out of the danger zone,” European Environment Commissioner Stavros Dimas added.

That was then. This is now. And world leaders now agree that no meaningful agreement will be arrived at in Copenhagen. It hasn’t even come up for debate in the United States Senate. China and India want us to give them billions of dollars so they can continue their wicked ways. And the people of the world don’t believe a word of this nonsense.

There’s only one thing to do:

Call an attorney. Get a will written. Make sure your affairs are in order. And buy some future beachfront property in Denver. Because if the socialists of the world weren’t lying, the oceans will soon be lapping at your feet.

Gordon Brown and Stavros Dimas said so.

33 remarkable bits of wisdom revealed through anagrams

Next time your boss gives you a raise, send President Obama a thank you note

Thanks to a unique, new economic theory promulgated by the Obama administration, salary increases count as some of those “jobs saved” for which President Obama so proudly pats himself on the back.

Save a job. Give someone a raise.
Save a job. Give someone a raise.

Thanks to a unique, new economic theory promulgated by the Obama administration, salary increases count as some of those “jobs saved” for which President Obama so proudly pats himself on the back.

The Associated Press explains President Obama’s unique economic theory as best it can:

President Barack Obama’s economic recovery program saved 935 jobs at the Southwest Georgia Community Action Council, an impressive success story for the stimulus plan. Trouble is, only 508 people work there.

The Georgia nonprofit’s inflated job count is among persisting errors in the government’s latest effort to measure the effect of the $787 billion stimulus plan despite White House promises last week that the new data would undergo an “extensive review” to root out errors discovered in an earlier report.

About two-thirds of the 14,506 jobs claimed to be saved under one federal office, the Administration for Children and Families at Health and Human Services, actually weren’t saved at all, according to a review of the latest data by The Associated Press. Instead, that figure includes more than 9,300 existing employees in hundreds of local agencies who received pay raises and benefits and whose jobs weren’t saved.

The story continues:

But officials defended the practice of counting raises as saved jobs.

“If I give you a raise, it is going to save a portion of your job,” HHS spokesman Luis Rosero said.

And if Rosero parrots this crap convincingly enough, it could save his job.

Robin Hood in reverse: Baltimore mayor steals from the poor, gives to herself

In the time-honored bait-and-switch tradition of the Democrat party, Baltimore’s Mayor Sheila Dixon is on trial for using holiday gift cards that were donated to the needy for her own personal shopping sprees.

Perhaps Sheila Dixon could use some of those gift cards to buy a dress that doesn't look like your grandmother's sofa

In the time-honored bait-and-switch tradition of the Democrat party, Baltimore’s Mayor Sheila Dixon is on trial for using holiday gift cards that were donated to the needy for her own personal shopping sprees.

“Dixon, 55, will put her political future in the hands of a jury Monday, when her trial on theft charges begins. She’s accused of asking wealthy developer pals to donate gift cards worth thousands of dollars, saying they would be given to poor families — then using them to buy electronics at Best Buy, clothes at Old Navy and knickknacks at Target. If convicted, she would be tossed out of office.”

Dixon, often called a “classic” Democrat, also faces perjury charges. Turns out she didn’t report gifts from her ex-boyfriend, a real estate developer who got tax breaks from the city.

Dixon, whose salary is $151,700, has assembled a high-priced team of seven attorneys. She refuses to say how she’s able to pay her exorbitant legal bills, but it’s rumored that she shopped around for attorneys who would accept Target gift cards in lieu of cash.

Dixon, said to be in need of a new Winter wardrobe and a home entertainment center, has stated she won’t let these allegations interfere with her fund raising efforts for the poor.

The folks over at RegretTheError.com scour the world’s newspapers looking for interesting typos, errors and corrections. They’ve come up with a gem involving Burma’s brutal military regime:

An information leaflet from the junta’s Ministry of Information promoting the annual Traditional Performing Arts Competition has an irksome misspelling of a Burmese word that has irritated and embarrassed the military leadership.

The misspelling of one Burmese word occurred in the title of a play meant to honor the Tatmadaw (military). Instead of “Sons as Valuable as Treasure,” the title read “Sons Who Make Their Parents Suffer.”

The information leaflets have been distributed to a wide audience, including the generals.

Not to get all serious here, but a typo that accidentally reveals the truth is almost zen-like.

Carrie Prejean is a role model for the youth of the world. Or at least the youth of Spain.

Our position on this is clear: if masturbation becomes part of the curriculum in the United States, we’d rather be in Carrie Prejean’s class than Joycelyn Elders’.

carrie-prejean Discretion is our middle name. So we think we’ll just let US Magazine reveal the latest Carrie Prejean news:

Days after Carrie Prejean admitted that she participated in a sex tape and called it “the biggest mistake of my life,” seven additional such videos — all “solo performances” have surfaced starring the de-crowned beauty queen.

In addition, the website says that 30 photographs of Prejean have turned up of the topless and fully nude variety, “most taken by Carrie using her reflection in the mirror.”

Allegedly, in one clip, a moaning Prejean wears “just a flowing white blouse,” touching herself suggestively.

But all is not lost for the former Miss California. Despite the revelation of more sex tapes, Prejean can still be a role model for Spanish teenagers. Because according to the New York Daily News via Fox, Spanish teens are now being taught the “art of self pleasure.”
joycelyn-elders

Teenagers in the Spanish region of Extremadura are being taught the “art” of masturbation, New York’s Daily News reported.

The workshops feature instructions on self-pleasuring, and pamphlets on self-respect and contraception are being handed out, according to a report in The Guardian.The socialist government’s aim is to aid teens with “sexual self-exploration and the discovery of self-pleasure.” The government hopes to remove the “mystique” that surrounds sex.

“The campaign is simple, clear, natural and easily understood by the people it is aimed at, who are aged between 14 and 17,” said Laura Garrido, a youth council president in Extremadura.

This reminds us of Surgeon General Joycelyn Elders, who advocated masturbation education back in the Clinton years.

Our position on this is clear: if masturbation becomes part of the curriculum in the United States, we’d rather be in Carrie Prejean’s class than Joycelyn Elders’.

We’d rush home every night to do our homework. Especially if we could do it while watching some of those Carrie Prejean tapes.

Butt out! Gallup poll says Americans don’t want government healthcare

Support for government run healthcare has fallen off a cliff. In fact, more Americans now want the government to butt out rather than butt in. Here’s how Gallup.com reports its latest poll.

gallup-poll-healthcare-government

The Greatest Orator In History is having a big impact on the opinions of the American people. But not in the way his handlers expected.

Support for government run healthcare has fallen off a cliff. In fact, more Americans now want the government to butt out rather than butt in.

Here’s how Gallup.com reports its latest poll:

More Americans now say it is not the federal government’s responsibility to make sure all Americans have healthcare coverage (50%) than say it is (47%). This is a first since Gallup began tracking this question, and a significant shift from as recently as three years ago, when two-thirds said ensuring healthcare coverage was the government’s responsibility.

There’s only one thing you can do to save government run healthcare, Mr. Obama:

Here’s what President Press Event had to say about eeeeeevil employers who are screwing up his dandy economy:

As I’ve said from the start of this crisis, hiring often takes time to catch up to economic growth. And given the magnitude of the economic turmoil that we’ve experienced, employers are reluctant to hire.

Small businesses and large firms are demanding more of their employees, their increasing their hours, and adding temporary workers — but these companies have not yet been willing to take the steps necessary to hire again.

Words fail. Much like Obama’s economic policies.

Chrysler’s electric car program shorts out

Chrysler has disbanded a team of engineers dedicated to rushing a range of electric vehicles to showrooms and dropped ambitious sales targets for battery-powered cars set as it was sliding toward bankruptcy and seeking government aid.

Chrysler, part of the Obama Motors cabal, says its electric cars are dead. Not the batteries, the whole damn program. A huge pile of your tax dollars were at its bedside when it died.

Fox News reports Detroit’s latest tale of woe:

Chrysler has disbanded a team of engineers dedicated to rushing a range of electric vehicles to showrooms and dropped ambitious sales targets for battery-powered cars set as it was sliding toward bankruptcy and seeking government aid.

The move by Fiat SpA marks a major reversal for Chrysler, which had used its electric car program as part of the case for a $12.5 billion federal aid package.

As late as August, Chrysler took $70 million in grants from the U.S. Department of Energy to develop a test fleet of 220 hybrid pickup trucks and minivans, vehicles now scrapped in the sweeping turnaround plan for Chrysler announced this week by Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne.

So Chrysler used the electric car scam to get a $12.5 billion bailout and then took another $70 million in grants and now they’re closing down the program less than 90 days later?

Bait and switch from a car dealer. Who ever would have expected that?

Good for thee, but not for me: Congressional Democrats don’t want to be covered by ObamaCare

Critics of the health care bill said they offered the 11 amendments – including some that would require the president, vice president, and Supreme Court justices to give up their Federal Employees Health Benefit Program (FEHBP) to enroll in the ‘public option’ or Medicaid – to showcase the problems with the massive legislation.

Czar Nicholas. Or maybe a Congressional Democrat. We're not sure which.
Czar Nicholas. Or maybe a Congressional Democrat. We're not sure which.

Life is good for Democrats in Congress. Kind of like life was good for the Russian Czars (not to be confused with the Obama Czars). They pass laws and regulations willy-nilly with nary a thought that those laws and regulations should apply to them.

CNSnews.com reports that, “Critics of the health care bill said they offered the 11 amendments – including some that would require the president, vice president, and Supreme Court justices to give up their Federal Employees Health Benefit Program (FEHBP) to enroll in the ‘public option’ or Medicaid – to showcase the problems with the massive legislation.”

“If Congress forces our constituents into a public option plan over time,” noted Rep. Howard McKeon, a California Republican, “then members of Congress should be expected to do the same.”

“It became apparent then that Democrats are afraid of being put on a government-run health care program,” McKeon added, “but that fear does not extend to the welfare of their own constituents.”

“This is one of those classic hypocritical moments for the Democrats,” said Matt Lavoie, a spokesman for Representative Wally Herger, a California Republican. “They simply don’t want to put up with the public option that they are preparing to inflict on the American public.”

Could this be true? Of course not. Don’t be silly. Nothing could be further from the truth according to Vincent Morris, communications director for the Democrat-controlled House Rules Committee.

“The reason we didn’t support those amendments is because the public option was created precisely to give the American people a choice between private and public [insurance], Morris noted. “Given that all Americans have a choice about whether to join the public option, we thought it didn’t make any sense to force members of Congress to join.”

Bottom line: We’re amazed to see the words “sense” and “Congress” in the same sentence.

It’s going to be a long, cold winter for Al Gore’s TV network

Current TV, Al Gore’s nearly viewerless cable news channel, is slashing its its staff by 80 people.

But do not make the mistake of thinking the layoffs had anything to do with cutting costs. Hell, no. The company said it’s all part of a reshifting of priorities.

The priorities that reshifted were, of course, the company’s and not the employees’.

Here’s how Current attempted to spin the bad news:

This re-organization was not the result of a need to cut costs. Current Media will have its most profitable year. This financial stability will allow the company to re-allocate resources in order to put further emphasis on areas of the business believed to best position Current Media for continued long-term growth.

Not the most believable spin in the history of American business. As Gawker.com noted, “…when a company cuts 80 employees from a total staff of 380, it’s pretty absurd to claim this 21 percent payroll decrease isn’t about reducing costs, especially after the network cut 60 jobs a year ago.”

In other news, the Obama administration announced that although 80 jobs had been slashed at Current TV, 300 had been saved or created.

All hail the Goracle. All hail the stimulus.

Congratulations, Congresswomen Woolsey. It’s about time someone challenges those murderous Muslims.

What’s that? Woolsey wasn’t talking about murderous Muslims? She was talking about Catholics?

Yes, sir and yes, maam. Woolsey wants the IRS to investigate the possibility that the U.S. Council of Catholic Bishops did something – anything, really – during the ObamaCare debate that might threaten its tax-exempt status. In a direct violation of the separation of church and state, Woolsey is almost praying that the IRS can dig up some dirt.

Job well done, Congresswoman Woolsey. We, too, have had our eye on those Catholics for a long time and we say it’s about time someone else catches on to them.

Moron Montel Williams fears America will send Muslims to internment camps

Remember back when Montel Williams promoted his sleazy TV show the the slogan, “Montel brings people together?”

Well, apparently, he’s against bringing them together in internment camps. Especially if they’re Muslim.

Here’s an excerpt from his conversation with Frank Farley of Temple University:

Williams: We pulled something like this back in World War II when we decided to round up all Japanese Americans and put them in internment camps…The [anti-Muslim] rhetoric… could get out of hand. What do you think?

Farley: I agree totally… The possibilities of prejudice and racism and so on are incredible here. We should be treating this as a unique incident and look at the factors involved in this very unique and specific incident and not overgeneralize. Unfortunately, we tend to overgeneralize all the time. The idea that all Muslims are the same is ridiculous…

Williams: Even if it comes out… that his frame of reference was his religion and that was what was giving him the power within himself to make his stand, that doesn’t mean that the religion is to blame.

Farley: Absolutely, his interpretation [of Islam] may vary dramatically from [that of] his fellow Muslims.

Let us state very clearly that we are opposed to internment camps for Muslims.

On the other hand, interment camps for Air America hosts isn’t such a bad idea.

University invokes “academic freedom,” invites convicted terrorist bomber to speak

The on-again off-again appearance of a convicted terrorist bomber is back on again at the University of Massachusetts.

The on-again off-again appearance of a convicted terrorist bomber is back on again at the University of Massachusetts.

UMass had decided that Raymond Luc Levasseur, one-time leader of the revolutionary United Freedom Front, will be allowed to speak on campus. Despite protests, the university says the bomber and bank robber speech reinforces its commitment to “academic freedom.”

Levasseur was sprung from the pen in 2004 after serving 18 years for plotting a series of bombings and bank robberies up and down the East Coast between 1976 and 1984. The UFF also killed a New Jersey state trooper and attempted to kill two others in Massachusetts.

“He shouldn’t be allowed to talk to any students,” said Rick Brown, president of the State Police Association. “Why give this man any credibility to speak in an academic environment? He has no remorse and who knows if he’s out to recruit. UMass should be ashamed of themselves for even inviting this man on campus.”

Please, Mr. Brown, don’t be so strident. Where will the next generation of terrorists come from if the elders are not allowed to pass their knowledge down to the children?

CNN proudly claims its brand was built on impartial reporting. But the compositon of its audience says otherwise. Fact is, its audience tilts to the left even more than Fox News audience tilts to the right.

Breitbart.com did a very interesting analysis of CNN’s audience:

Statistically, CNN’s audience is far from nonpartisan.

Of people who say their main source of news is CNN, 46 percent identify themselves as Democrats and 13 percent as Republicans, according to a July survey by the Pew Research Center (the rest say they’re independent or don’t identify themselves politically). The same study found that Fox’s main source audience was 38 percent Republican and 18 percent Democratic.

To a certain degree, it stands to reason: If so many Republicans find Fox a comfortable home, there are fewer remaining for CNN, particularly in a country where Democrats have an enrollment edge.

One-third of news viewers questioned by Pew this fall said they didn’t perceive CNN as advancing an ideology, more than Fox (24 percent) or MSNBC (27 percent). Still, 37 percent of those questioned view CNN as liberal, and 11 percent as conservative.

We don’t want to say CNN’s audience is shrinking, but if it loses any more viewers, future pollsters won’t be able to put together a valid, representative sample.
