Do You Want Liberty or Tyranny?

Something is Very Wrong In America Right Now.

The most lasting memory of the old Pogo comic strip is the famous line, “we have met the enemy and it is us.”

We have elected a group of US House and Senate representatives that collectively have failed the American people. They have gerrymandered home districts and amassed so many special interest dollars that they all but insure their perpetual reelection. The people they represent are either too busy or (dare I say it?) too stupid to understand that these people are not interested in liberty, freedom, or smaller government and they have no belief that their constituents have a clue about anything.

Liberal and conservative, democrat and republican have spent us into oblivion. Our standard of living is declining, our cost of living is rising, and soon, inflation will be kicking our collective butts that will make the Jimmy Carter years look like the bush leagues.

We have unelected officials (some from the former elected ranks) like Ray LaHood. He is the Department of Transportation tool who can’t oversee a $2 billion dollar cash for clunkers car program. Dealers, who depend on cash flow for their survival, foolishly fronted the money for these dubious government subsidies expecting reimbursement from the government. Except the government isn’t paying off! Oh, but don’t worry, help is on the way! Right, the check is in the mail. This sounds like a job for that moron, Joe Biden to fix.

Which leads one to wonder if this isn’t a preview of how a single payer health care system (i.e. socialized medicine) is going to work. Are doctors going to perform operations that government Ray LaHoods are going to reimburse them for and expect them to stay in business? The issue isn’t going to be about health care, or doctors, or even the mechanics of how this whole socialized medicine program is going to actually deliver. It is all about government control of our lives: How we begin them, how the government will let us live them, and how the government will end them.

One of the best parts from the movie, Forrest Gump, is just when Captain Dan (the double amputee sitting atop the mast of the shrimp boat cursing God for his condition) finished shouting at God and wondering where he was . . . God showed up in the form of a devastating hurricane.

Now, as the politicians are acting like the pigs in the book, Animal Farm, the people have evidently shown up! And they are mad as hell. Ostensibly over the direction of health care. But the underlying heartburn they have is with a government out of control. A government that is too big, too arrogant, and unmindful of the treasures of individual freedom, liberty and smaller, less intrusive intervention in their lives.

I only wish the people had showed up with pitchforks and lighted torches to complete the picture for these clueless, blood fart politicians who are, incredibly, fighting back with bully boy tactics, IRS threats, Snitch hot lines to report ‘fishy’ people against government health care, and union thugs showing up at town hall meetings to intimidate or beat the snot out of anybody who dares stand up to their government and voices objection to the direction it is taking us.

Black Panther thugs stand outside polling places with nightsticks to intimidate voters. The government doesn’t even bring charges. Elections are stolen outright and nobody gets arrested or goes to jail. The government gives organizations like ACORN billions of our tax dollars to organize these thugs and steal the elections and continues to dole out more to them in “Stimulus Money.”

When the people are afraid of their government, that is tyranny. When the government is afraid of the people, that is liberty.

Something is very wrong with America right now. Which is it we want? Liberty or tyranny?

LA WEEKLY MELTDOWN. READ ALL ABOUT IT

Obama the Joker! Martin Luther King's dream come true:



"That all men will be judged not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character."




The Obama as Joker poster should be celebrated!

The Joker as portrayed by Heath Ledger in the Batman movie was a double-crosser and not unwilling to use extreme muscle to clear the field of opposition to get his way and rule Gotham. Sound familiar?

The Joker poster showing a deadpan Obama with the lipstick and white kabuki makeup is a great example of ridicule if you listen to the people who doctored up a picture of George Bush the same way and published it in Vanity Fair magazine. What a great laugh, huh? But hey, it was humor-based, therefore okay.

But not everybody sees the Obama Joker poster the same way. Read what a so called professional journalist, Steve Mikulan of LA Weekly wrote about it:

. . . the fears of the art lovers who champion the Obama Socialism poster are all about race - about losing their skin privileges, about the possible airing of old crimes and grievances committed against blacks. How else can you explain the mad surge to buy guns, to deny Obama's American birth, the teary prediction that the White House is ordering up concentration camps, and the rock-solid belief that Obama's lab-coated bureaucrats are coming to kill our grandmas? Who's the real Joker here? And whose deck is that race card being played from?

The liberals felt good that America voted in a black guy as president. But now, in the face of this poster, need to pull out the race cards to justify attacks on anybody who disagrees with Obama’s socialist and totalitarian politics, or his place of birth, or even how he looks. Because the socialist libs can’t condemn all those closet racists out there because Obama was actually elected at the hands of a majority of white voters, so now these same people are racists because they question his place of birth, they buy guns, and they have fears over Obama ordering the US Army to train to quell domestic disturbances. None of which can be remotely traced to Obama’s race except in the minds of those who see disagreement and ridicule as racism. What a stretch!

The poster depicts Obama made up like the Joker with the caption, “Socialism,” at the bottom. Not, “Black Guy,” not “Spearchucker,” not the dreaded “N-word.” No, socialism is now the new right wing synonym for the N-word. That stretches the limits of human logic thinner than pulled salt water taffy.

Fellow travelers like Steven Mikulan are evidently imploding because ordinary Americans are ridiculing and making a statement about the president's character.

Mikulan wants to know who the real Joker is here. As if millions of people can’t appreciate the dripping ridicule in that poster? What are you going to do Stevie-boy? Wear out your dialing finger calling all of them in to the White House Snitch Line?

Frankly, I hope Mikulan’s lungs fail. Or his hands become palsied and he can’t type anymore. And that he is given placebos for it at the nearest Obama Clinic. Aaahhhh Haaaaa Haaaaaa. Isn’t that funny? No? Gee, it worked for Wanda Sykes when ridiculing the likes of Rush Limbaugh.

Ain't humor and ridicule great?

It works both ways, Mikulan, you race-mongering blood fart!
