Suburban encroachment has consequences

I'm certainly no environmentalist in general, but I have to agree with the sentiment of this poster. It was inevitable that suburban sprawl would result in negative encounters between wild animals and humans....and it's the fault of the humans not the animals.

This is why I express little or no sympathy (that is if I'm not cheering for the animals outright) when people wind up injured or dead in an encounter with a wild animal.

"Entitlements", with few exceptions, are really just handouts

We should stop calling Welfare, Food-stamps, Section-8 housing, etc., entitlements. That word implies that those receiving them are entitled to them, simply by being poor. They are not. Every penny that the government gives to one citizen has been taken by force from the citizen who first earned it. In what collectivist fantasy is anybody entitled to what others have earned?  

Included on the list of entitlement programs are VA benefits and Social Security benefits.....THESE are entitlements because the citizens receiving them paid for them. They are entitled to receive them.

We should call hand out programs what they are.....HANDOUTS. At most those who receive handouts are fortunate to receive charity from those who earned that money and for which they should be eternally thankful.

Obama exposed as a liar, but we already knew that

Most of us knew it all along, but now the Obama regime is having to admit that they planned for as many as 75% of Americans being kicked off their current insurance plans. That means that every time Obama stood on the podium and read off the teleprompter, "If you like your insurance plan, you can keep your insurance plan.", he was lying and knew he was lying. 

What does that say about the contempt and disdain a President has for the little people over whom he rules, that he would repeatedly lie to our faces? Among specific flaws of his, it demonstrates the collectively, democrats, specifically Pelosi and Reid, are piece-of-shit liars too, as are all politicians who voted for the ACA. 

I wonder how many Americans will remain willfully stupid enough to vote democrat again in 2014 and 2016? Plenty, I'm sure.  

Chickens come home to roost for idiot Obamacare voters

An idiot Californian who voted for Obama in part because of his Obamacare promise, found out the hard way what that vote meant when her healthcare bill went up by 50%. Here she encapsulates the mindset of typical democrat voters by whining, 

"I was all for Obamacare until I found out I was paying for it". 

That's right sweetie, voting democrat is all good as long as somebody else picks up the tab. Now live with it, moron!

The American police state under Obama

This is Audrey Hudson, a Washington Times reporter who wrote a half dozen articles, rightly disparaging of the TSA's air marshal program. A few days ago at 4:30 in the morning, Home.Sec. thugs in full combat gear stormed into the Maryland house she shares with her husband, with a warrant to search for unregistered firearms and a potato gun. There were no firearms or potato gun, but what they did find were 5 files on the TSA and her personal notes on the air marshals, which they left with after terrorizing the couple by holding them by force in their own kitchen while they ransacked their home. 

This was a clear intimidation signal to other reporters to cool it with the criticism of the TSA or this could happen to them too. What kind of police state do we live in that the federal government can have armed police storm the home of, and terrify a reporter because they don't like what she reported?

Obamacare website company rife with corruption

What do you get when you combine corruption, hubris, cronyism with a dash of affirmative action? Why the Obama administration's business plan for doing everything. Read this and become enraged at what our government has become......

From Moonbattery --

Toni Townes-Whitley, Princeton class of ’85, is senior vice president at CGI Federal, which earned the no-bid contract to build the $678 million Obamacare enrollment website at Healthcare.gov. CGI Federal is the U.S. arm of a Canadian company.

Townes-Whitley and her Princeton classmate Michelle Obama are both members of the Association of Black Princeton Alumni.

Toni Townes ’85 is a onetime policy analyst with the General Accounting Office and previously served in the Peace Corps in Gabon, West Africa. Her decision to return to work, as an African-American woman, after six years of raising kidswas applauded by a Princeton alumni publication in 1998

George Schindler, the president for U.S. and Canada of the Canadian-based CGI Group, CGI Federal’s parent company, became an Obama 2012 campaign donor after his company gained the Obamacare website contract.

As reported by the Washington Examiner in early October, the Department of Health and Human Services reviewed only CGI’s bid for the Obamacare account.

There is little worse than a government that steals hundreds of millions from the people it claims to represent, showers its friends with it, then lies about having done so. 

Why was a task as large as the Obamacare website on a no-bid contract? For no other reason than Michelle wanted it to go to her Princeton classmate. 
Why didn't Kathleen Sebelius review bids from other companies much more capable of building a website for a fraction of the cost? For no reason other than Obama told her not to so Michelle's pal could get all that money. 
Why did George Schindler suddenly become an Obama donor after the contract award? Because that's how quid-pro-quo in DC works, I give you taxpayer money under the pretense of a government contract with the clear but unspoken understanding that you give some of it back to me under the pretense of campaign donations.  

Mileage tax.....spying or a good idea?

Several states, for now, are considering a mileage tax that the federal government would levy based on information sent to it via a little black box attached to your car. The idea is that the more you use the highways and bridges the more you should pay for its upkeep.

This proposal has made for some strange bedfellows. It seems the environmentalists, as well as the Libertarians, are on board with this idea.

The federal gas tax of 18.5cents/gallon would be rescinded and then motorists would pay for only how much they drive. The eco crowd likes it because it encourages people to drive less, while the Libertarians like me support it because it replaces the heavy-handed federal gas tax with what amounts to a consumption tax. The less you drive the less you pay.

The one caveat I would have would be that the box cannot report all kinds of personal tracking and speed data to some massive federal bureaucracy staffed with hundreds of overpaid dicks who're looking for a reason to keep up with my activities. The mileage data would have to be limited to mileage alone, nothing else.

In face an agency wouldn't even have to exist for this to work. They could just have the GPS boxes report to one computer and the monthy tax bill be sent out automatically. They could hire one nerd to keep the computer running, no bureaucratic behemoth to fund. That way, all the money actually goes to roads and bridges and not the administrative costs of paying bureaucrats to have lavish conventions in Hawaii.

Obama feminizes the Marines

With no money left to spend on training or even bullets for their guns, apparently the Marines have just enough left in the budget to change uniform covers(hats) to something that looks like a French street cop or something equally ridiculous(new hats on the right in the pic).

Ostensibly to make marine men resemble as closely as possible, marine women, the Obama administration is spending $8 Million to change the style of the covers.

Of course the feminization of the US military to make them a joke and therefore less threatening to the world, is the ultimate goal of the Obama administration. Given the sickening political correctness of the generals and idiotic policies such as gender-neutral uniforms, it'll be a miracle of the military can accomplish anything on the field of battle worthwhile.

IRS confirmed as the most corrupt agency in government

The most corrupt and incompetent government agency, the IRS, admitted this week that it had issued over $132 Billion in fraudulent payments under the Earned Income Tax Credit program, over the last 10 years.

As you know the EITC handout program is designed to encourage low-income workers to stay employed by giving them a handout larger than their refund would ordinarily be. The "thinking" goes that low income workers could actually make more money being straight-up on welfare and other handout programs than being employed, so why not just give them more of other peoples' money than they deserve up front so we can keep the welfare enrollment appearing lower.

In other words, the EITC is just another government welfare program to take money from those who earn it and issue it to those who didn't. IRS officials stated that they have no plans to change anything about the fraudulent payments or attempt to stop them because doing so might in one or two cases cause somebody to not receive a payment they deserve.

That the Obama administration is putting this bumbling, corrupt agency in charge of Obamacare subsidies and penalties is telling. Obama doesn't care about affordable coverage for the poor. All he cares about is getting as much of the US economy under the tyrannical boot of the behemoth government as he can.

Ed Shultz unwittingly outs MSNBC viewers as morons

Ed Shultz might be the worst person in the world. He's a hateful, lying, union lapdog. How he got on TV is anybody's guess, that is until you see the results of a poll question on his show. But then that's about what I would expect from a viewership that keeps this asshole, Rachel Maddow, and Al Sharpton on the tube.
