P-O-R to the USA–Suckers

Pelosi, Obama and Reid are quite amused at how stupid American voters are.

Starting with the passage of the unread Porkulus Bill, the lying and misdirection attendant with the Death Care bill, and the last minute unread INSERTION of 300 pages of amendments to the passage of the Cap & Trade Grand Larceny in the house, we now get the following from the Oil Refiners and Producers.

Big Oil’s Answer to Carbon Law May Be Fuel Imports

June 26 (Bloomberg) — America’s biggest oil companies will probably cope with U.S. carbon legislation by closing fuel plants, cutting capital spending and increasing imports.

Under the Waxman-Markey climate bill that may be voted on today by the U.S. House, refiners would have to buy allowances for carbon dioxide spewed from their plants and from vehicles when motorists burn their fuel. Imports would need permits only for the latter, which ConocoPhillips Chief Executive Officer Jim Mulva said would create a competitive imbalance.[snip]

Reliance on Imports

Refiners and brokers already import 3.12 million barrels of gasoline, diesel and other fuels each day, enough to supply every car, truck, train, airplane, boat and oil-burning power plant in Africa, U.S. Energy Department figures showed.

Those cargoes are in addition to the 9.76 million barrels of raw crude delivered to U.S. ports daily to supply refineries and chemicals plants. Foreign shipments of crude, gasoline and other fuels provide 66 percent of the petroleum burned in the world’s largest economy, according to the Energy Department.

Carbon prices will soar as U.S. refiners compete with each other and other industrial companies for a limited number of allowances, said Bill Durbin, head of carbon research and global energy markets at Wood Mackenzie.

Durbin, a former policy official in the Energy Department during the George H.W. Bush administration, said permit prices may top $100 a ton. Oil companies and their products emit more than 2 billion tons of carbon dioxide a year in the U.S., according to the Energy Department.

“If you can import fuels without the same carbon costs as domestic refiners, you will have an advantage,” Durbin said. “Does that open the door for offshore refiners? I think it does.”

 According to the MALEFACTORS in Congress, this Cap & Trade Bill will reduce our dependence on foreign imports. Of course it will.

In a pig’s ass, which is a huge pork!

Remember, businesses don’t pay taxes; they passes them through to the consumer as higher costs which result in higher sales taxes to you also, SUCKERS! 

Liberals never seem to understand this.

Is there an open MA (D) House Seat

Here’s something unique, a lawyer that can be embarrassed! Not to worry, anyone with this skill set, certainly will overcome THAT handicap. 

This gentleman is an undeniable shoo in for a Liberal Congressional House or Senate seat in MA. 

Lawyer Found Sleeping in Trash Can

An Indiana lawyer who was found asleep headfirst in a neighbor’s trash can after a night of drinking has apologized and says he’s embarrassed. No charges have been filed against Larry Wilder, who is the Jeffersonville City Council’s attorney.

Wilder said he had dinner and drinks with friends in nearby Louisville, Ky., on Tuesday night. He said he was driven home in a client’s limousine but remembers little that happened after that. [snip]

To be on the safe side, one better lock up the farm animals.

Making Orwell proud

This article is one of the better pieces of Orwellian newspeak in some time. The rising rate of decline should be the title or how about the declining rate of rise? Is that better (snicker)?

U.S. job losses slow in May, fueling recovery hopes

The pace of U.S. job losses slowed sharply last month, the strongest sign to date that the recession is diminishing, even as the unemployment rate hit its highest in nearly 26 years.

The Labor Department said on Friday that U.S. employers cut 345,000 jobs in May, the fewest since September and far less than economists had forecast. They cut 504,000 jobs in April.

However, the unemployment rate raced to 9.4 percent, the highest since July 1983, from 8.9 percent in April, partly because people who had given up looking for work re-entered the labor market, a sign economic confidence was returning. [snip]

Yeah the great motivator might be the last unemployment check arrives in two weeks, followed by a foreclosure notice and the repoman, always sure signs of optimism.

The relatively small decline in payrolls fell far shy of the 520,000 drop expected by financial markets, sparking market rumors that the government had published incorrect figures, speculation dismissed by Labor Department officials. [snip]

While the job losses in May were spread across almost all sectors, the pace of layoffs was slower than in prior months.
Construction jobs fell 59,000 after dropping 108,000 in April, likely as a result of the government’s $787 billion stimulus package.[snip]

You might want to ask YOUR Congressional Critters, why they voted to give stimulus funds to illegals working jobs replacing US unemployed workers.

Not only does that keep our unemployment numbers up, but also that money goes to MEXICO & other CENTRAL AMERICAN Countries.

Yeah, out of our economy where it helps us not!

Pravda says Obama is a buffoon

Edited for length, but here’s the whole article from Pravda online.

See how an individual from a former Marxist society sees liberals, socialists and Progs, certainly not in a kindly light, dummies.
Barney Frank doesn’t look too good in the story either. But then, he never does. Congress looks like mental defectives, calling them cretins is insulting to cretins.
Our educational system with all the liberal “improvements” receives great applause also.
He is actually nice is his handling of your feelings;
my term for you is Suckers! You’ve been had.

 

American capitalism gone with a whimper

It must be said, that like the breaking of a great dam, the American decent into Marxism is happening with breath taking speed, against the back drop of a passive, hapless sheeple, excuse me dear reader, I meant people.

[snip]

First, the population was dumbed down through a politicized and substandard education system based on pop culture, rather then the classics. Americans know more about their favorite TV dramas then the drama in DC that directly affects their lives. They care more for their “right” to choke down a McDonalds burger or a BurgerKing burger than for their constitutional rights. Then they turn around and lecture us about our rights and about our “democracy”. Pride blind the foolish.

Then their faith in God was destroyed, until their churches, all tens of thousands of different “branches and denominations” were for the most part little more then Sunday circuses and their televangelists and top protestant mega preachers were more then happy to sell out their souls and flocks to be on the “winning” side of one pseudo Marxist politician or another. Their flocks may complain, but when explained that they would be on the “winning” side, their flocks were ever so quick to reject Christ in hopes for earthly power. Even our Holy Orthodox churches are scandalously liberalized in America.

The final collapse has come with the election of Barack Obama. His speed in the past three months has been truly impressive. His spending and money printing has been a record setting, not just in America’s short history but in the world. If this keeps up for more then another year, and there is no sign that it will not, America at best will resemble the Wiemar Republic and at worst Zimbabwe.

These past two weeks have been the most breath taking of all. First came the announcement of a planned redesign of the American Byzantine tax system, by the very thieves who used it to bankroll their thefts, loses and swindles of hundreds of billions of dollars. These make our Russian oligarchs look little more then ordinary street thugs, in comparison. Yes, the Americans have beat our own thieves in the shear volumes. Should we congratulate them?

[snip]

Then came Barack Obama’s command that GM’s (General Motor) president step down from leadership of his company. That is correct, dear reader, in the land of “pure” free markets, the American president now has the power, the self given power, to fire CEOs and we can assume other employees of private companies, at will. Come hither, go dither, the centurion commands his minions.
So it should be no surprise, that the American president has followed this up with a “bold” move of declaring that he and another group of unelected, chosen stooges will now redesign the entire automotive industry and will even be the guarantee of automobile policies. I am sure that if given the chance, they would happily try and redesign it for the whole of the world, too. Prime Minister Putin, less then two months ago, warned Obama and UK’s Blair, not to follow the path to Marxism, it only leads to disaster. [snip]

Again, the American public has taken this with barely a whimper…but a “freeman” whimper.

So, should it be any surprise to discover that the Democratically controlled Congress of America is working on passing a new regulation that would give the American Treasury department the power to set “fair” maximum salaries, evaluate performance and control how private companies give out pay raises and bonuses? Senator Barney Franks, a social pervert basking in his homosexuality (of course, amongst the modern, enlightened American societal norm, as well as that of the general West, homosexuality is not only not a looked down upon life choice, but is often praised as a virtue) and his Marxist enlightenment, has led this effort. [snip]

The Russian owners of American companies and industries should look thoughtfully at this and the option of closing their facilities down and fleeing the land of the Red as fast as possible. In other words, divest while there is still value left.
The proud American will go down into his slavery with out a fight, beating his chest and proclaiming to the world, how free he really is. The world will only snicker.

ChimpyDodd encouraged to quit

This does get better every day. Pigpen just smudges the dirt around his face!

CT Dems Encourage Chris Dodd to Quit

It’s nice to see Democrats in Connecticut standing up for the right of the voters to elect Senators. If only corrupt Democrats in Illinois realized the same thing, they would not be dealing with the embarrassment of Senator Burris right now.

Beyond that, this has to be taken as a pretty strong signal to Chris Dodd that he needs to step aside. After all, it’s not coincidence that Connecticut Democrats want to change a law that has stood for nearly a century, at precisely the time that it affects Dodd alone. Assuming this revision takes effect, Chris Dodd has until next January (one year before the end of his elected term) to step aside without allowing Rell to name a Republican successor. That gives Dodd 6 months to realize his goose is cooked, and fall on his sword. [snip]

 The one danger for Democrats is that it might enable Governor Rell to run as well. She would presumably not want to appoint herself to a Senate seat, but there’s no reason she should not consider running for an open seat. And in a short campaign against a crowded field of mostly lesser-known Democrats, she could very well win.

I don’t know much about Rell except what gets written here. However, as far as I’m concerned, she could be a Borgia and her victory would be sweet.
As for Dodd, he has to look up to see down; that’s how low he is.

Shortage of primary care doctors remedied

Obama administration concerned about growing shortage of primary-care doctors

by Myron Krankheit/New York Tums
Friday April 31, 2009, 9:59 AM
Washington — Obama administration officials, alarmed at doctor shortages, are looking for rapid ways to increase the number of physicians to meet the needs of an aging population and millions of uninsured people.

DHS, HUD and CDC officials said they were particularly concerned about shortages of primary-care providers who are the main source of health care for most Americans.
Even if you have health insurance, you cannot afford to see a doctor.

Premier, sorry, President Obama proposes to increase the supply of doctors by giving amnesty to all illegals immediately AFTER they apply to medical school. “The white coat, stethoscope and citizenship papers accrue from day one,” Obama promised to workers on the shop floor at Tyson’s largest poultry plant. You have great surgical skills, honed here and elsewhere.

The President mentioned the squandering of the illegals toil in chicken processing plants for minimum wage, when in just four years they could be performing angioplasties for $2.00/hr more.
“They will be only doing the jobs Americans won’t do,” he said, in a speech to AARP. “If Americans wanted these jobs, we’d have plenty of doctors!”

Obama noted that Universal Health Care would be affordable; Medicare/Medicaid outlays come under control and choice still included in the system.
Anyone wishing to see a doctor outside the system is free to do so with or without private insurance.
They will have to do this with after tax dollars of course.

Most Government Printing Offices are assembling a variety of surgical procedure manuals titled “Eye Surgery, Hip Replacement etc. for Dummies, as well as ESL courses for the ER.

Congress will keep the private care and staff it currently enjoys.

Sanctimony with an extra touch of stink

Pitiable to the Absurd

Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.) blasted “tea party” protests yesterday, labeling the activities “despicable” and shameful.”
“The ‘tea parties’ being held today by groups of right-wing activists, and fueled by FOX News Channel, are an effort to mislead the public about the Obama economic plan that cuts taxes for 95 percent of Americans and creates 3.5 million jobs,” Schakowsky said in a statement. [snip]

Of course her other half was equally busy…

CHICAGO (AP) — The husband of an Illinois congresswoman pleaded guilty Wednesday to tax violations and bank fraud for writing rubber checks and failing to collect withholding tax from an employee.

Robert Creamer, a political consultant married to four-term U.S. Rep. Jan Schakowsky, could face four years in prison on the two felony counts when he is sentenced Dec. 21.[snip]

They stuck a D after her name in the first story, but not in the second one. Wasn’t that cute!

Moral Imbeciles

 ”All you need to start an asylum is an empty room and the right kind of people”. (Eugene Pallette in “My Man Godfrey” - 1936)

Harry Reid claims he was a boxer while at college.  When he was raised to Senate Majority Leader he said that, in political disputes, he wasn’t a boxer, but would ”rather dance than fight”.  Well, maybe too many blows to his head turned him into a dancer; but they’ve also beaten out any capacity for normal self-control and common decency - with the result that Reid neither dances nor fights, but jeers and spits at his betters (that field is very large) from outside the ring, particularly the ones who are too dignified to respond to him. If  Reid wasn’t such a smug, bilious pantywaist, we could call him a bully.

Justice Roberts was the object, recently, of one of Reid’s bleats.  John Hinderaker put it this way….

 John Roberts is so far above Harry Reid that this sort of contretemps is frankly pitiful.  Reid may or may not be stupider than, say, Joe Biden; but he embarrasses Roberts by belonging to the same species.

A man doesn’t turn into a Harryreid overnight.  It takes years marinating in hatred, years of cowardice and character disintegration until the alternating rage and reflex bootlickery of a political life take over completely.  Reid, like Nancy Pelosi, is the waste product of orthodoxy.  They spent their best years shilling for one version of groupthink, and having risen from sinkers to floaters, they’re still in the same filthy pool.  Reid wants to get even and Pelosi wants to get what’s coming to her.  

Pelosi might not be as bad as Reid, who strikes me as a thoroughly revolting man.  She’s just vapid, vain and stupid, and everyone knows it.  She’ll purvey any crackpot idea, however simple-minded and destructive, crush anyone who opposes her, and debase herself in the process.  Her Jack-in-the-box performance behind Obama in the House Chamber was pitiful and bizarre.  She’s a “geriatric pom-pom girl”, as Laura Ingraham put it.

But as they say, she has a pair, and Reid doesn’t.  Either way, they’re both a disgrace to representative government.

Reality vs Socialism

This is not an if, but a when scenario, Massachusetts.

It is a problem of Socialism, of government. Yes, Washington is not the solution; it is the problem. Springfield, you mimic the DC dolts.
Put a twist to a Daoist principle here. “The farther you go, the less you know.” Lao Tse had politicians in mind when saying this.

Part 3 of this report, links to part #1&2 are at the site.
I’ve extracted the following from the report for this is why China is reducing exposure to the dollar.

China inoculates itself against dollar collapse

Summarizing the escalating risks of a dollar crisis

The bubble in US Treasuries is getting increasingly massive and unstable with each week that passes. Deepening global risk aversion is keeping investors lined up, so far, to buy Treasuries - especially short-dated ones. And the deepening economic crisis in the US is moving its own citizens to join in the buying spree.

If the Treasuries bubble persists for much longer, and especially if it continues to mount, the massive and dangerous distortions in the global financial system and the Treasuries-induced strangulation of its credit markets will only become more severe, likely leading to a meltdown somewhere in the emerging markets, one of whose effects will almost certainly spread to engulf the severely weakened Western European and US financial sectors and plunge particularly the US economy into a deep depression, with potent negative effects upon the dollar.

Such an eventuality will tend to force global investors to evaluate the safe-haven appeal of the dollar based much more on the fundamentals of the US economy, and that will portend a stampede out of the dollar and a potentially chaotic bursting of the massive Treasuries bubble. Hence, even if the US finds buyers for its huge sums of new sovereign debt now beginning to flood the markets, the picture does not look good for the dollar beyond the short term.

Obviously, if the US reaches the point where it fails to find sufficient buyers for its new flood of Treasuries, that will also become a perilous situation for the dollar and for the huge Treasuries bubble, which will almost certainly burst as global investors seek better stores of wealth in hard assets, following the lead of China’s central bank.

Either way, the US is engaged in the implementation of extremely risky and potent inflationary, dollar-debasing policies, making a loss of global confidence in the dollar in the short to medium term a virtual certainty. Even if the massive spending does restore economic growth, the US economy is likely to remain very weak for some time. That will make it extremely difficult for the US Federal Reserve to tighten monetary policy to fight off the inevitable and potent inflation that will result from today’s shortsighted policies.

When the Fed attempts to tighten, the US economy will likely be plunged into a second-round recession or depression, with obviously awful effects upon the dollar. But if the Fed fails to tighten sufficiently and quickly, runaway inflation will ravage the currency anyway.
