    THE HANDFULS OF MUD RESPONSE
    ------
    T-HALL RESPONSE — DEM SMEARS & LIES

    Its (again) sooo predictable. Any democrat (aka secular socialist) administration or person that gets seriously or aggressively questioned NEVER responds by respectfully explaining (using honest data) their position-reasons on the issue. They roll their eyes, call names, distort, ignore, lie and avoid. The voters are SICK of this approach by SO MANY in the royal congress while the state-controlled media fawns without concern.
    Now we have a few huge issues on the table. The clunky lawmakers rush, they admit not even reading trillion dollar bills, they parrot talking points, they mock you, they tell you that you are stupid. When the voters finally get them on their local turf where the playing field is nearly even…the elected royalty are in shock and react by arrogant disgust. Wonder why?
    The irony is the thugs in charge who could not overpraise “community organizing” last year cry like babies when its done to reject their socialism. Go figure.
    So what are the O-socialists to do? Its smear and lie time. You have not YET heard factual logical honest defense of the HC aspects.
    What you hear is smearing by the socialists who are simply incapable of telling us exactly what is in these trillion dollar takeover bills.
    Its OUR money!
    Now the liberal state-run media has begun smearing t-hall groups. Its not bad enough that Tea Party attendance is deliberately reported as about 5x less…now the biased media is calling any group questioning our “publik servants” inaccurate disrespectful names (hired mobs etc) without a shred of proof! Not a single attendee has been identified as sent by an insurance company, the RNC or any radio talk show.
    You wonder why the TV news networks lost their cred years ago? Hey, try reporting the whole truth for a change…is that now too much to ask?
    Is is too much to ask O-democrats to read and be able to explain/answer questions when you are pushing a trillion dollar bill?
    If so, what does that tell you about why the t-hall folks are so out of patience with their publik servants?
    Wait, now I understand that phrase, “Liberalism is a Mental Disorder”…..they must lie.

    WHY TAXES ARE COMING SOON

    By INVESTOR’S BUSINESS DAILY | August 04, 2009 4:20 PM PT
    Fiscal Policy: Federal tax revenues have shrunk by the largest amount since the Great Depression, according to new data. This should come as no surprise, since we’ve been running a Depression-era economic policy.
    CRAWFISH NOTE: Outside of the fact democrats adore taxes to grow gov-meant and buy votes…this is it…cause gov-meant grows by 4-12% a year like a mushroom and this godzilla democrat mushroom needs some of your paycheck fertilizer. They ain’t a cuttin nuttin. You are…so brace yourself for 2010.
    Did I mention the Bush tax cuts will not be renewed by the Socialist Party either? Guess not. Socialism is expensive. Suckas.

    LIBS: SO PREDICTABLE!

    Its sooo predictable. Just look at history, it teaches, it has patterns.
    Now voters have finally become enraged in the 3rd year of a democrat (aka secular socialist) congress.
    Just 7 months into total democrat control and look at the incredible mess!
    The democrat strategy now is to demonize ALL effective critics, not stand toe-to-toe and carefully respectfully explain H Care, debt, Cap and Tax or whatever. They can bus in “rent a mobs” when Bush was touring for a Social Security OPTION but if anyone dare speak to their royal congressman as if they were informed publik servants at district meetings…its improper, its disrespectful, its some deep conspiracy, its just a few dimwits, its downright un-American yada yada. Liberals always can dish but cry like babies when not fawned over and asked firm questions on camera. Questioning gov-meant was a virture for 8 years but now its a mortal sin.
    The clown congress goes out and borrows a trillion we had to do ASAP, 4x the debt and now talks (as always) about new taxes being “the only way out”. They don’t read trillion dollar spending bills, they hide details from voters, they distort, they lie and they refuse to mandate themselves into their schemes. Ten percent of workers have been laid off and gov-meant hired 78,000 more in 2009.
    Notice if you have these political thugs that will not debate the merits of bills or wait a couple months to “fundamentally change the country” in any way…what does that tell you? Well, that tells you millions of voters are mad, the are scared, they are frustrated, they are going after the lawmakers that continue this insanity. Isn’t that how America works or is that only how America works when the secular socialist Party is not in power? You can bet the royal congress will be avoiding their voters the next few weeks…arrogant cowards do that.
    D-Klinton dropped his promised “middle class tax cut” once he won so why should D-Obama be any different? They do what they do.
    After Carter and his democrat congress’ Misery Index only the 1994 congressional election win by Repubs stopped Klinton from being Obama I. Understand that! Did I mention the Bush tax cuts are going away next year? They do what they do.
    It matters not what Obama said the past years. Its genetic to the modern liberal to spend wildly, then tax heavily, then produce inflation…all the while crying “the devil made me do it”. (or we are working so hard)…give us all a break.
    Its as if Obama won by 57 million instead of having over 57 million voting against him last November.
    The smart money says its going to get a lot uglier because the socialist Party cannot manage a hot dog stand (or a Clunker Program).
    Notice the gov-meant was not cut for even that mini-program. Socialists never cut gov-meant except the .0025% done for show recently.
    Just look at political history, it has patterns, it SHOULD teach even “hope-ers and change-ers” something.

    THE TAXES NO-SURPRISE SURPRISE

    DRUDGE AUGUST 2, 2009
    SURPRISE!
    TAX HIKE FOR MIDDLE CLASS?


    CRAWFISH NOTE:
    J. Carter Obama following the script as predicted.
    The 3 phases of the modern liberal administration (with demo congress) are:
    1…wild overspending 2…taxes 3…inflation…I did a few posts on that this year…
    of course, there is always an excuse for the 1st two then shock at the 3rd.
    Voters learned nothing from Carter…he also had a demcorat congress.
    The fog machine will crank up excuses but they love higher taxes and more control over you.
    Its what they believe in…its what they do.
    Of course there will be a demon or strawman that always makes them raise YOUR taxes.
    (Did I mention the Bush cuts will go away next year?)
    Now how is that going to help us continue any recovery?
    Answer: Its NOT.
    Add Cap and Tax plus Health Care and Tax…
    The “hope and change” lying bandit is back in your paycheck.
    Then inflation will follow. Suckas.

    BUCHANAN NAILS RACE ISSUE

    By Patrick J. Buchanan
    Barack says we need to have a conversation about race in America . Fair enough. But this time, it has to be a two-way conversation. White America needs to be heard from, not just lectured to.. This time, the Silent Majority needs to have its convictions, grievances and demands heard.. And among them are these:
    First, America has been the best country on earth for black folks. It was here that 600,000 black people, brought from Africa in slave ships, grew into a community of 40 million, were introduced to Christian salvation, and reached the greatest levels of freedom and prosperity blacks have ever known. Wright ought to go down on his knees and thank God he is an American.
    Second, no people anywhere has done more to lift up blacks than white Americans. Untold trillions have been spent since the ‘ 60s on welfare, food stamps, rent supplements, Section 8 housing, Pell grants, student loans, legal services, Medicaid, Earned Income Tax Credits and poverty programs designed to bring the African-American community into the mainstream. Governments, businesses and colleges have engaged in discrimination against white folks — with affirmative action, contract set-asides and quotas — to advance black applicants over white applicants. Churches, foundations, civic groups, schools and individuals all over America have donated their time and money to support soup kitchens, adult education, day care, retirement and nursing homes for blacks.
    We hear the grievances. Where is the gratitude???
    Barack talks about new ‘ladders of opportunity’ for blacks. Let him go to Altoona ? And Johnstown , and ask the white kids in Catholic schools how many were visited lately by Ivy League recruiters handing out scholarships for ‘deserving’ white kids.? Is white America really responsible for the fact that the crime and incarceration rates for African-Americans are seven times those of white America ? Is it really white America ’s fault that illegitimacy in the African-American community has hit 70 percent and the black dropout rate from high schools in some cities has reached 50 percent?
    Is that the fault of white America or, first and foremost, a failure of the black community itself?
    As for racism, its ugliest manifestation is in interracial crime, and especially interracial crimes of violence. Is Barack Obama aware that while white criminals choose black victims 3 percent of the time, black criminals choose white victims 45 percent of the time?
    Is Barack aware that black-on-white rapes are 100 times more common than the reverse, that black-on-white robberies were 139 times as common in the first three years of this decade as the reverse?
    We have all heard ad nauseam from the Rev. Al about Tawana Brawley, the Duke rape case and Jena . And all turned out to be hoaxes. But about the epidemic of black assaults on whites that are real, we hear nothing.
    Sorry, Barack, some of us have heard it all before, about 40 years and 40 trillion tax dollars ago.
    CRAWFISH NOTE: You can bet this will not run in many newspapers or be a topic of TV panels…too much reality.
    (HINT: Follow the votes, the white liberal guilt and the money decade after decade)

    CASH FOR CLUNKERS…ANOTHER LESSON

    To all supporters of the gov-meant running more of your life or Health Care…take another lesson… if being a broke nation, having Medicare and Medicaire losing billions, the Postal Service in debt yada yada is not enough…here is the latest.
    The usual incompetent suspects in the gov-meant “planned” to use a billion dollars to get “car clunkers” off the street. The gov-meant “planned” for the program to last 4 months.
    Reality: all the money was gone in less than a week as 250k cars entered the CFC Program.
    Spin it anyway you wish but this is SOP for the gigantic inept federal gov-meant. They often get it very very wrong. Many Programs are 3-9x more expensive then the “selling price” to the voters. Could you manage your family budget that way for decades?
    The gov-meant also has been aware for a decade that Social Security is fading fast.
    Wanna bet they “reform-save” that vital Program with figures and promises any differently than their track record?

    NATCHEZ PAPER SHAMES ITSELF

    This morning (July 30.2009) the Natchez Democrat newspaper ran their usual editorial cartoon.
    This one was from the Denver Post. It illustrated a man being hauled off to the psycho ward saying negative things about the expensive secretive national Health Care Bill pushed by the liberals (democrats aka secular socialists). This is a shameful outrage at the least.
    When did this paper run anything this biased, this agenda-pushing…for a Republican bill? Did they do it when the democrats were lying about the Social Security reform option? Did they do it when the democrats wanted amnesty for all illegals rushed into law? Did they do it when STIM was costing us a trillion in borrowed money? Has anyone at this paper read the HC Bill or a few summaries here and there?
    Excuses don’t feed the bulldog and pretending you can’t do any better in editorial cartoon selection is baloney. This is why the daily print media has so little credibility. Truth no longer matters. So few reporters and so many shameless repeaters. Bias is as bias does.

    WHAT O-CARE PROMISES

    “It’s time to fix our unsustainable insurance system and create a new foundation for health care security. That means guaranteeing your health care security and stability with eight basic consumer protections:
    * No discrimination for pre-existing conditions
    * No exorbitant out-of-pocket expenses, deductibles or co-pays
    * No cost-sharing for preventive care
    * No dropping of coverage if you become seriously ill
    * No gender discrimination
    * No annual or lifetime caps on coverage
    * Extended coverage for young adults
    * Guaranteed insurance renewal so long as premiums are paid ”
    CRAWFISH NOTE: This is from Obama…the e mail sales pitch from President Barack Obama is sending…these are lies, there is no free lunch, the gov-meant is already broke…of course…congress and federal workers are not mandated into this dream program RUN by the gov-meant.
    The gov-meant that has Medicare-Medicaide broke along with Social Security and the Postal Surface on the brink. That gov-meant.
    As usual, we conservatives and thinkers have been warning you all summer 2009. Also, as usual, the national democrats (aka secular socialists) can provide no model country for socialized medicine and completely ignore reality, freedom and common sense.
    This post will be re-posted a few times in the future as this awful abomination starts impacting YOU.
    That will be before the 2010 elections when democrats will pay dearly for this kooky assault on our culture of freedom.

    OBAMA: THE BLAME SHIFTER

    JULY 29.2009:
    “For a guy who campaigned on taking responsibility and looking forward, he spends an awful lot of time pointing fingers and looking backward,” said former Bush deputy press secretary Tony Fratto, who has begun defending the previous administration.
    But Democrats think Mr. Obama would be remiss if he did not point out what he inherited.
    “I’m not convinced that Obama and his supporters are bashing Bush as much as they are quite rightfully reminding people that our current economic mess and the wars were inherited from the Bush administration,” said Democratic strategist Bud Jackson. “It’s important to remind people of this because Republicans are now criticizing the Obama administration as if they had no role in how we got here.”
    CRAWFISH NOTE:The democrats have controlled the congress since Jan. 2007. The democrats borrowed a trillion for the vote-buying STIM this year. The democrats have had 7 months with the votes to pass anything.
    J. Carter Obama claimed for a year that he had all the answers. Now that he has to “walk the walk” in manly realism we get crybaby looking back. No voting “present” anymore.
    Step up and apply your secular socialist pacifist principles. Ooooh, you have been. So there you go.
