Why Obama Won’t Compromise

This is a simple question to answer. He has already compromised the bill by giving in and delaying company participation, allowing Congress to stay out, and many others. The problem is that his compromises are with himself, they are all done illegally, and without anyone else’s approval.

All I hear is how bad Congress is by sending all these useless bills before the Senate knowing full well the Senate will not approve them. What Congress is doing is representing the people. The last history lesson I took while they still taught history was that Congressmen represent the people.

I did some math today and calculated that each congressman represents about 703,709 people. The bill they passed to defund the ACA passed 231 to 192. My math says they are speaking for 162,556,779 people. That number of constituents is 54.6% of the total populace. I’d say they are doing a fine damn job of speaking for us. The problem is that the President and the Senate know better what is good for us than we do.

We have one option; vote them out. We all have one vote but we also have feet and a voice. If we walk our neighborhoods knocking on doors to talk to our neighbors with facts we will magnify our voting effect.

If the government shuts down those workers forced to stay at home may get to know what it feels like to lose a job like the 11.3 million private sector workers who are still unemployed. Unfortunately, that is a bad example because the government people will resume working when they resolve the funding bill, and those who have to work without pay will receive back pay.

While we struggle to kill a bad law Great Britain implements new rules allowing people to buy health care they cannot get in their government system. Could it be we are right and Obama and his socialist Democrat Senate are all wrong?

I’m Not Buying It

Posted on 23/03/2013 by Grumpa Joe

1-olympus_has_fallen

Peggy and I enjoyed a day at the movies yesterday. For once we saw a film that just came out. Usually, we wait until we hear about a good film from many friends. The movie is “Olympus Has Fallen.” We sat on the edge of our seats throughout the entire two hours. Normally, by the 90 minute mark I bolt to the  men’s room for reasons I’d rather not get into.

The suspense was great, the action unbelievable, the characters very believable, and the plot, well, let me just say, I’ve seen this plot before. The plot has a new place, and a new hero, but the general circumstances parallel the Bruce Willis “Die Hard” story. In Olympus, the hero is not a police officer, he is a Secret Service Agent.The idea of a foreign country getting into the White House to create mayhem was novel. In fact, I’d say it was genius. The circumstances surrounding the way they did it are totally plausible, at least for me it was. I’d love to hear the military and the Secret Service talk about the reality of taking down the White House in the way this author did it.

Several other things bothered me about the movie, and here is where you the reader will probably label me a right-wing extremist and a racist. Do you know what? I don’t give a darn about what you label me, I believe speaking the truth is an absolute necessity, especially to the liberals among us.

Many Hollywood people, actors, directors, producers are liberals. They all profess a love for our very liberal socialist president, and promote his agenda to share the wealth (as long as it is not theirs). The liberals are behind the current and ongoing gun grabbing gun control laws, yet they use all the latest and most lethal guns in their movies to tell a good story. All I can say is that the bad guys in this movie were slaughtering innocents with high-capacity guns and the audience was loving it. It  would have been a much different story if the tourists milling about the White House grounds were all packing fire. If gun control is such a high priority for liberals why do they support stories like this one which relies on lots of bullets flying? I can answer that simply, they like money, especially the money they get from living and working in a capitalist system. Of course they give it all back to the government to share with the rest of us, right?

A glaring hypocrisy exposed in the film is at odds with the liberal disdain for war and the military. Hollywood liberals glorify super heroes like the police Sargent in Die Hard, and the Secret Service agent in Olympus. These guys received their very excellent training in the military, and the writers love using their training experience to create characters who are the equal to comic book heroes like Rambo, Super Man, Spider Man, Bat Man, Seal Team Six, etc.   Liberals profess concern about the 99 percent in the world but love taking money from the masses to create lifestyles of the rich and famous without really giving back their own blockbuster-earned dollars. However, they love giving back the hard-earned dollars of the rest of us.

The last thing I didn’t buy in this movie or any other movie is an obvious attempt to glorify the black race. (This is when you call me a racist.) There are two main characters in Olympus who are black, the Speaker of the House, and the head of the Secret Service. Both play characters who are strong leaders. The rest of the President’s Security Council is white.  All portray imbecilic-doofuses. I’m not buying it, if you do, you are part of the problem we have in this country today. I happen to believe we have many competent blacks in all areas of life, but I don’t believe the whites we have in the same areas are all ass holes as Hollywood portrays them in their stories, even if it is for comedic reasons.

In spite of what I just wrote I believe you should pay the money, go see Olympus, you will be well entertained for two hours. Be sure to make a pit stop before you go in, you don’t want to miss one second of the film.

Free Phone Fiasco

Where in the heck do these people learn about these loop holes? I saw a news article about Obama-phones, but I never studied it any further. Evidently, there is a deep-rooted wish to give the poor a phone to dial 911. The original program gave poor people a free landline phone. The libs soon learned their clientele do not have permanent homes. It is hard to install a land line in a cardboard box or a stolen shopping cart.  Their solution was to add cell phones into the program. Evidently, the law is wide open to interpretation. Rumor also has it that one of the service providers is a crony of the President’s. That really isn’t relevant except that the more phones a provider has signed up the more money he makes. It is the redistribution thing at work. (A concept borrowed directly from Atlas Shrugged.)

Here is another thought to ponder. How many of these free Obama-phones get into the hands of Muslims who send them to Afghanistan for use as Improvised Explosive Device triggers?

I would not know where to go, who to ask, or what the qualifications are to get a free cell phone, do you? Yet, according to the news report in the video below there is a huge number of people who already abuse the program. The result is we, the paying cell phone user, are suffering the cost. If this doesn’t deserve a letter to your congressman nothing does. This issue is a no-brainer to shut off, but it is my guess that Congress will not repeal the bill. Why? Because the dumb-ass Congressmen don’t have the cojones to do anything to upset a vocal minority. Another reason, is that they look upon this program as a drop-in-the-bucket of the trillion-dollar deficit. Therefore, the effect of eliminating Obama-phones is insignificant, and not worth their precious time taken from reading/writing twenty-two hundred page bills. These same people probably won’t bend to pick up a penny from the street. I do, in my way of thinking I only have to pick up ninety-nine more to have a dollar.

How Many Birth Certificates Can One Man Have?

Posted on 09/04/2012 by Grumpa Joe

The Obama birth certificate issue is one that will not go away. It is like a bacterial infection that has not been completely killed. It keeps coming back to make you sick.

The birth certificate of the current fraudulent President of the United States of America is one of those infections. A new article arrived in my e-mail basket this morning from a website called The Power Hour. In this post, they show a birth certificate for one Barack Obama from a hospital in Kenya. The document looks verifiably authentic. Along with the certificate is a sworn statement by a Kenyan who compares this certificate to his own and he swears the  form is identical, and authentic. Kenyans are working hard to prove the most powerful man in the world  belongs to them.

Visit this link to view what looks to be the “real birth certificate.”

After you view the certificate take this poll to register your opinion:

Wouldn’t You Like To See. . .

Posted on 26/04/2011 by Grumpa Joe

Should Boeing recall the entire fleet of Boeing 747’s used by the president as Air Force One?

It would serve POTUS right to be grounded for his efforts to stand in the way of a great manufacturing company like Boeing from doing what is right for its business.

The  National Labor Relations Board  is filing suit against Boeing to block their move to South Carolina. I wonder who might be behind that move? Let me think, OBAMA? No, it can’t be OBAMA he wouldn’t pull a stunt like that now would he?  Behind the scenes he is pulling strings like crazy to regulate companies to do what he says. I suppose that is the Change that 53% of the  genius people of America voted for.

Boeing is also one of the few remaining manufacturing companies employing thousands of highly technical people. Instead of encouraging the company to build the world’s best airplane in AMERICA, he is blocking  the company from setting up shop in the  “Right to Work” state of South Carolina in favor of IAM union state Washington.. (It figures, South Carolina was one of the original slave colonies.)

With this effort to save the IAM, Obama is pushing hard for Boeing to move all of its plant to China. This is another example of a union warring against a company with the attitude of “we will beat you sucker even if it means you go out of business.”  The UAW did it to the US auto industry, now the machinist union wants to do the same thing. Do you get the feeling I can’t stand unions? I’ll save you the effort, I Can not stand unions.  They may have had a useful life during the industrial revolution, but they are obsolete in a global economy. I’ll clue you in, A chinese machinist doesn’t give a rats ass about how much an IAM guy makes. All the Chinaman cares about is feeding his family. If he can do that by making a dollar an hour, he will, and the IAM will just move on to another company and harass it until it too moves to China.

I’m sorry, but POTUS is a jerk. He doesn’t understand nor care about anything but buying votes. Do you think he cares about the American business? Hell no. He certainly doesn’t care about Boeing even though he appointed  Boeing CEO, Jim Mc Nerney to his Export Council. It appears Mc Nerney may also have to  export  his job.

Supporting American business would get people back to work again. That would mean fewer people depending on Obama for sustenance. That would put a giant crimp into the Hope and Change Nanny State.

Do you want my recommendation to the problem? I’ll give it anyway. Boeing recalls the entire fleet of airplanes at Obama’s disposal, and We the People recall Obama.
