Barry Desperation: Lots of Locke

Barry is really getting desperate to fill his Cabinet. Not too lucky. Barry's desperation is so bad, he is now looking at former worthless dem governors. Review the following qualifications on his latest pick from the bottom of the former Dem Gov barrel for Commerce Secretary:

"Locke was briefly linked to the scandal over foreign contributions to President Bill Clinton's 1996 campaign. In July 1998, he gave a deposition to the House Committee on Government Reform and Oversight about his relationships with questioned Clinton donors. But the committee subsequently said the deposition produced no evidence that Locke knowingly accepted illegal campaign donations.

Locke denied any wrongdoing, and he subsequently returned some checks tied to people implicated in the fundraising scandal, including $750 from John Huang. The former Commerce Department official was the Democratic Party's chief fund raiser for the Asian-American population in the 1996 elections, and he became one of the central figures in the national Democratic Party fundraising scandal.

Also, in December 1997, Locke's political committee was fined a maximum $2,500 by state regulators after it admitted breaking campaign finance laws during two out-of-state fundraisers in 1996.

And in March 1998, state investigators cleared Locke of wrongdoing following complaints that he unlawfully took $10,000 in campaign contributions from members of a Buddhist church." (Courtesy of MSNBC).

I could see Locke in charge of raising more illegal campaign funds for DNC. But at least if he gets locky, he should be able to do the same thing as the Commerce Secretary. Why am I thinking about Dirty Harry? Well punk, are you feeling locky? And our gov Kate can't get any posts at all so the dirt on her must really be bad.

As far as tonight's speech goes, the timing makes sense. Every time the stock market moves up, Barry gives a speech. His goal is to make your 401(k) plan a .50 cent (k) plan in his redistributon of your wealth scheme-the Abomination. Lots of Locke tomorrow on the stock market. Consider buying a PowerBall ticket.

Moore Rhetoric Protest: Abomination Snowball Effect

There were certainly a lot of people attending the Moore Rhetoric Porkulus Protest than even I expected. Which is pretty amazing the number that appeared considering the temperature being in the twenties and most of us only heard about this event Thursday thanks to Michelle Malkin. People were leaving as fast as they were arriving due to the cold weather. So, it will be almost impossible to get an accurate head count.

There really was not that much organization to the event for the time I was there. Most of the protest signs were made pretty darn quickly. It was a like a create a campaign sign contest with little time to prepare. The O.P. Police were there sitting in their cars(thanks), parking was limited to residential areas, and everyone had to stand next to the street with their signs of protest. I got there early and had to park 2 1/2 blocks away in a residential area.

But the real event was the number of people that did come to protest. People driving by tended to be supportive with their horn honks.

The bottom line here is there are a lot of people that are upset with the incumbent and the whole abomination. Especially after the Rick Santelli rant on CNBC Thursday over the mortgage bailout fiasco. Hope is turning to anger. How can Barry screw this up so quickly?

On a sidenote, its interesting to see how most of the TV media ignored the event. Which probably explains one of the reasons for the growth of political blogs in this area. People, including myself are tired of all the local media bias here in Kansas City. We cannot trust the local media and have to resort to blogs.

I did go over and introduce myself to Amanda Grosserode, the event organizer; as well as thank her. I am sure she was overwhelmed by this high a turnout. I hope we meet again and she plans more events like this in far better weather conditions. I also talked to a few the people there to get some feedback on why they were there.

One of the people I met is organizing another event Saturday, Feb. 28. This event is a tea party one mile walk. It starts at 10:00 at the J.C. Nichols Parkway, just east of the Plaza ending at Senator Claire McCaskill's office at 4141 Pennsylvania.

The organizer suggests everyone bring some tea. I still like the idea of bring beans and cornbread to go along with the pork we are paying for. Maybe the event organizer of the Tea Party Walk will consider rescheduling for a better day on the weekend so more people can attend. Hopefully, the weather will be better also.

For 750 or so people to attend today's event in twenty degree weather indicates we have some problems to deal with in America. And the abomination is not the answer. Expect the crowds to get bigger and bigger as the abomination snowball effect worsens. Like when Barry starts talking health care reform next week. Expect an avalanche instead of only a snowball.

Later.

MO beats KS 4.5 billion to measly .350 billion

MO, the enemy beat the crap out of KS in the political abomination stimulus game.

Final Score: $4, 500,000,000 ( 4.5 billion) to 350,000,000 (350 million).
To make this easier to understand, this is like MU beating KU 450 to 35 in a basketball game. We got clobbered. Meaning time to take some appropriate and timely political Kansas action. Still too early to just outright invade MO or better, just declare war.

It is time to bench some Kansas federal officials like Senators, Congressman and get rid of our GOV. Either that or let's trade Sebelius for Claire McCaskill.

Better keep this short. I might and feel this urgent rant building up. Only consolation, I don't have to live in MO.

Ask For Your Share of Pork Saturday: Bring your own beans

Free porkulus event Saturday 10:00 AM to thank Congressman Moore at his Overland Park office at 8417 Sante Fe for all the pork handouts per Michelle Malkin at http://michellemalkin.com/.

If you can afford it, bring Moore some beans and cornbread to go along with all the dem pork. Tell him the beans and cornbread are a campaign contribution so he will have to report it to the FEC.

I also suggest everyone ask for your fair share of pork by having Moore consider giving you a a $250,000 earmark to study how to end pork contained in appropriations called stimulus bills.

Thanks for the heads up on this event, Michelle.

Wanted: Guest Blog Authors

Open Invitation: Guest Blog Authors Wanted

One thing I learned in politics is to welcome diversity of thought. Regardless of political affiliation. So, for a while, I want to give an invitation to those who can write well related to what we can do better than the current yahoo politicians. Generally via essays. But do not want the pain of maintaining their own blog on a regular basis. So my goal is to provide a medium for serious authors. Even socialist dem authors so we can all make fun of them.

Being snarky, using satire, and humor, wrapped around serious political thought is a plus. Passion is great provided you don't rant and preach all the time. Or go negative all the time, while having no solutions to anything. What you write has to be related to making political thought better than what we currently are getting from most of these crappy politicans we have elected.

As far as technical matters, the only requirement to allow you to be a blog author is a valid email. While I prefer those who have courage to use their real name, upon request I will allow you to be anonymous or use a pen name.

For consideration, merely contact the mod of this blog. Some kind of writing sample (past or current) will be required to demonstrate you can write. No babysitting or editing by me. My only control will be whether you continue to have guest blog author privileges. On a sidenote, no advertising is on this blog. So, I derive no income from what you choose to write.

Kateism

Kateism: Resorting to a cheap statutory trick to do whatever a narcissistic, elitest dem governor wants to do; regardless of the rest of the legislature. Or in the alternative, Katism. Your call-apply as relevant.

Well, we had to give the Kansas Budget battle some kind of ism. What a cheap trick by a socialist governor to save face politically. A process known in some blogs as KateGate. The power of allotment ignoring most parts of the statute--like how it requires 30 days notice before it becomes effective.

Now from my experiences, I know every governor named Kate thinks she is above the law and ignores statutory compliance when it is inconvenient for all those advocates of Kateism. I remember a few years back asking for Kate people to comply with the Kansas Open Records Act and produce communication between a certain GOV and her cronyily appointed friend, the KS Dir. of Revenue.

And honest to my higher power (before judges she is the boss of), had the audacity to state in writing, there was no communication between her friend and her. Now that is Kateism. So having the ability to be able to unbelievably lie in a court of law via an All Nazi-like attorney just because you are the judge's boss is also a necessary part of Kateism. I was subjected to KateGate.

Another factor important in Kateism is desperation about getting a new job. Like Secretary of HHS or something similar. Because getting elected as a Senator in a Republican state is nothing but pure fantasy. Also, per Kateism fly all over in a turboprop plane on the taxpayer's dime to places like CA, DC and anywhere else so you can ignore one's current job until it is crisis time. Also, search for and find any part of statute that is even remotely close to save face politically. Like yesterday. And wham! Skip the other parts of the statute--they are not important to advocates of Kateism.

The final factor-motivation. Apply Kateism when you are facing the attention of the national media for creating a budget crisis in the first place because you were too busy flying around trying to get another job instead of doing the duties of the job you are presenting in. As well as use spin to blame the legislature or anyone else for messes one has created by using Kateism.

To all this power of allotment nonsense, I say hell with the Presidential line item veto. Give Barry some Kateism including power of allotment. When you do though, skip the 30 day notice requirement statutory nonsense as provided in K.S.A. 75-3722 and hope the legislature allows you to get away with it.


Maybe an Upcoming Post: Why the worthless SEC should bring financial stability by getting rid of puts, calls,and any other speculative nonmanufacturing related paper transactions that don't produce much of anything except huge chunks of financial instability

Net Worth Tax Reform Proposal

The delusion fantasy of the first of many rounds of the abomination stimulus package is over at a projected cost of over a trillon dollars counting today's mortage stimulus. And that is not counting further bailouts of economically unviable auto makers. Help GM and Chrysler avoid pain by saving your tax dollars by demanding politicans force them to take bankruptcy.

Rightfully, now depressed socialist dems along with the rest of us whom knew better that be fooled, it's still not too late to look forward and get ready ahead of time for the next round. Massive tax increases to pay for the delusional bribe. Which I suggest we consider a major tax reform package based on net worth.

The abomination is the classic Greek with an inital bribe or gift in hand--a trojan horse. So now that he has access, he can rob you on the backside in major tax increases slipped into appropriation bills like SCHIP. Bush did it. Barry is going to do it next. Here, take this stimulus and feel delusion for a while longer. So I can take it back in massive tax increases to pay for the fantasy.

Trying to still be optimistic going forward despite the Abomination performance to date, now might be the time to go forward with a massive overhauling of the IRS. To which I suggest a fair tax system worth consideration is a net worth tax reform.

Albeit it with the following cavaet. It must result in an overall reduction of federal tax receipts unlike the "Fair Tax", "Flat Tax" or any other regressive GOP-led tax scheme like a consumption tax. By ensuring a reduction in total federal collection of tax receipts thereby reduces the size of the federal government; instead of the Abomination plan that seems to want further expand federal agencies even more. Which is going to require expected and forthcoming tax increases to pay for the delusional abomination.

It is an obviously inherently unfair tax system. The richer you are, the richer you get by manipulation of the tax code regardless of your net worth. For example, Social Security tax limits. Why is this capped?

Well . . . because the rich benefit from it. While those who cannot afford expensive tax attorneys and CPA's, pay more in taxes. Especially, middle class America. Middle class America keeps getting screwed worse than most on the one hand. But then on the other hand, strangely gets buffaloed at election time and re-elects the same yahoo con artist politicans over and over that screwed them. This defines irrational behavior.

Now is the time for a net worth tax reform. Require a person to declare their net worth. And then get rid of all these schedules that allow the rich to avoid paying their proportionate share of taxes by legal manipulation of the tax code. Its either net worth tax reform reducing tax receipts, or learn somehow to lawfully manipulate the tax code like the rich do. Demand all income that increases net worth regardless of source be taxed. And get rid of all those tax schedules. Basically, the only form that should be required in a net worth tax reform proposal is a 1040.

Also, any tax increases should not be allowed to be buried in bills. There should be a clear declaration of any attempts to increase any federal tax revenue to be clearly listed at the beginning of any proposed legislation. Instead of lying some more about transparency.

Barry screwed up the stimulus. But with your voices, scream net worth tax reform with reductions in federal tax receipts before it is too late. And we can ensure we did not get screwed by seeing a reduction in net tax receipts by any government.

More than a ship has gone aground

HONOLULU -The USS Port Royal ran aground on Thursday evening, about a half-mile south of the Honolulu airport where it was visible from several vantage points on Oahu. Not the only thing running aground.

This is Barry's fault and demonstrates how bad things have gotten since he took over. If McCain was our President, this would not have happened. Barry thinks he is Abe Lincoln and most dems think he is FDR-like because he is after all, a big copy-cat new deal socialist.

However, Barry's leadership style is not FDR-like at all. Other than being a big deficit spending Japanese-like free spending socialist. Rhetorically, I wonder if the the Japanese blame FDR for their decade of socialism failures. While politics in DC remain the same as before. Clueless. But despite history, this does not stop dems from "its our turn to waste money" mentality and be equally fiscally irresponsible and waste money on many worthless pork projects.

Barry's first weeks of his presidency reminds me of Jimmy Carter. Well intentioned, but indecisive leadership. Barry's presidency is already running aground showing a lack of executive decision making ability after only three weeks in office. But what did everyone expect from a rookie Senator?

On the positive side, Barry is demonstrating his one and only strength is mastering catchy words like, change, hope and urgent. Like Congress must be urgent in passing the abomination budget before anyone can determine whether it makes sense or not. Which only assures us it does not.

Which I am sure we will all be regretting by about Tuesday. Our ship has run aground because the captain is not much of a skipper. Plus the co-captain, crazy Nancy states we will lose 500 million jobs a month if Congress does not pass this budget. But there is always good news. Only 47 more months until we get a new and real President. And hopefully, Nancy Pelosi will be one of those 500 million people who will lose their jobs even sooner.

Hog Gone Wild video needed: Where is the pork?

The ad used to be "where's the beef". And that ad needs to be rerun.

Because this time, it will be really easy to find pork, but not the beef in the massive hog gone wild abomination appropriation bill soon to be finally passed by those dem socialists.

Now I have to admire Crazy Nancy Pelosi tactics during the long hog gone wild dem arguments. Just keep asking for more and more socialism. And then agree to cutbacks from 930 billion to 780 billion to force the GOP to give up. Regardless, 780 billion of hog wild socialism is enough to make me stop watching C-Span and switch to Fox News.

I have been so depressed by all this pork, I have been unable to blog in disgust. When this hog gone wild appopriation bill gets passed next week, I think Congress should mandate beans to go with all the pork we are being served here.
