    CATS CAN BE CALLED DOGS

    Imagine a future Supreme Court where ANY professional test is simply invalid because it discriminates against those scoring higher than some group politically favored by democrats? Civil Service, CPA, GRE, medical admit tests and many others are to be someday invalid on their face?
    You score, say, 80 and another candidate another scores, say, 75 and they are placed ahead of you because you were born into a less favored political group according to democrats? Not a tie score where the discrimination could possibly be argued in very rare cases but very different scores indeed. This is serious lib-thought by Sotomayor and Obama!
    Do we now allow 3 strikes in baseball for some groups and 4 for others? Why not?
    The fact four Justices voted for “discrimination to end discrimination” should tell you all you need to know.
    Modern liberalism is a mental disorder. Rule nothing out.

    OBAMA-JACKO AND THE GRILL FIRE

    Isn’t it amazing? After J. Carter Obama starts trashing the treasury and America a chorus of astounded media-types are running around asking “how is all this possible”? Then the sicko peddy-o druggie-o Jack-o (who made a billion) dies at 50 and, yep, once again the astounded media-types (and fans) appear to bore us with their Oz land shock perspective.
    In the real world of rational thinkers Obama had a record of strident secular socialism his entire adult life…get over it…he has only started.
    Jacko had a record his entire adult life of weirdness and peddy demons…get over it. Both these two had a record long ago.
    Why is there ANY shock? Are the media-types and their buds that stupid or just playing a role to attract viewers?
    If it walks like a duck and quacks is the place to start these “news reports”.
    Maybe its just the news world of ignore, spin and smear that has replaced whole truth in reporting to America.
    Its all like driving by a house as smoke billows )seemingly from the back patio area to you)…you “think”, that “its because they grill so much”.
    The next morning you read their house burned to the ground. Then you go on TV or radio to yack for hours about how astounded you are to hear this near impossible news. Give us all a break. The hollyweird moral midget kool folks have dangerous habits for years before they choose to die.
    They do choose. Unhappiness is like that. Did I mention ALL politicians have voting records too?
    Can the media all just be honest the next time an Obama or a Jacko situation is “news”?

    WHAT A DIFFERENCE !!!

    2009 Session Finished!

    Now that it's all said and done, announced, lobbied, discussed, amended, debated, voted and voted some more, what do we have left to show from the 2009 Louisiana Legislative Fiscal Session?

    A great deal for the faith and family community!

    For starters, this is the first session in fifty years that when the state has projected a revenue shortfall NO NEW TAXES passed!

    Here are a few other distinctive notes:

    * No life support given to the Stelly Tax Increase
    * Not a single anti-family bill passed
    * Not a single gambling expansion bill passed
    * Not a single Planned Parenthood or ACLU-friendly bill passed

    Here are some affirmative measures:

    * Healthcare Workers' Conscience Act passed!
    * Human-Animal Hybrid Ban passed!
    * Choose Life License Plate Funding Fix passed!

    Repub Gov and growing Repubs number in legis...and looky looky the diff!

    ANALYZING AN “OBAM-ISM”

    “Why would [a government plan] drive private insurance out of business?
    If private insurers say that the marketplace provides the best quality health care; if they tell us that they’re offering a good deal, then why is it that the government, which they say can’t run anything, suddenly is going to drive them out of business? That’s not logical.”
    –President Barack Obama, June 2009
    CRAWFISH NOTE: First assumption…YOU are stupid. You don’t realize that the gov-meant never needs a profit like private insurers. You don’t realize the gov-meant is the #1 interference to a FREE marketplace. You don’t realize there is no reason for employers to keep private insurers when they can dumb all costs and such onto the gov-meant.
    You don’t realize the promoters of national healthcare have not yet shown voters a single country model to brag about. You don’t realize the gov-meant track record underestimates by 300-500% most every big program so they can sell us more gov-meant.
    You don’t realize that MediCare, MediCade and VA hospitals are the real models of gov-meant lies and substandard care. You don’t realize that the quoted “polls” are done by biased pole cats with weighted sampling. You don’t realize that there must be dozens of free or nearly free reforms completely, pursposefully ignored by gov-meant.
    You don’t (yet) realize Obama, the strident radical secular socialist… is a convincing pathological liar…but you will learn that soon enough.

    OBAMA: WILL MAKE U MORE “MISERABLE”


    MISERY INDEX = Unemployment rate + Inflation rate (lower is better of course)
    Check the highs and lows by Party in the WH and Party controlling congress…
    Gerald Ford…..1974–1976…14.93 that reached 19.90 by Jan 1975 (Dem congress)
    Jimmy Carter (D)…1977–1980…12.60 that reached 21.98 by June 1980 (Dem congress)
    Ronald Reagan (R)..1981–1988…to 7.70 in Dec 1986 from 19.33 in Sept 1981 (despite a Dem congress)
    George Bush I (R)…1989–1992 ..9.64 from 12.47 in Nov 1990 (Dem congress)
    Bill Clinton (D)……..1993–2000…to 5.74 Apr 1998 (Repub Congress 1994-98) from 10.56 in Jan 1993
    George Bush (R)….. 2001-2008…from 5.71 Oct 2006 (Dems took Congress 2006-) to 11.47 in Aug 2008
    B. H. Obama (R)…..2009 -from 11.47 Dem congress to ???…9.4+ jobless + inflation 1.3%? for 2009 = 10.7 minimum (dem congress)
    (The Consumer PI for All Urban Consumers rose 0.3 percent in May before seasonal adjustment, the Bureau of Labor
    Statistics reported today June 17. Over the last 12 months the index has fallen 1.3 percent. This is the largest decline
    since April 1950 and is due mainly to a 27.3 percent decline in the energy index.)
    REALITY CHECK: Gas prices are up about 50 cents a gallon with drilling blocked many places so this rosy figure will fade fast.
    There is no denying, no juking, no spinning…the pattern is clear.
    With trillions of new debt…anyone wanna bet it the MI will be under 12 for Thanksgiving?
    It is what it is…we are in for a very rough ride the next couple of years at least.

    4U, YES...FOR ME, NOT SO MUCH

    Update: Its being said that congress and unions will be exempt from most of the ObamaCare provisions...will the network/print media dig into this or just keep fawning?

    MEDIA HEALTHCARE QUESTIONS YOU NEVER HEAR

    When media (and you) are told (daily these days) “people are denied health care”…they could simply ask,
    “Will you provide us with the names of 3 people denied care with full documentation this week”?
    Which single-payer country is the model for the democrat plan and why?
    Are the 12+ million illegal aliens to be included? If so, why and who pays?
    Have you found some free or very low cost healthcare reforms yet? Why not?
    Can you explain, with documentation, where the “47-50 million” figures comes from?
    Will Americans keep the right to refuse without penalty any plan or any doctor?
    Will congress automatically be included (instead of their current sweetheart healthcare plan)? Why not?
    Will doctors be subject to the “compensation czar”?
    Can America afford 1-4 trillion more of debt?

    IN J. CARTER OBAMALAND

    Massachusetts housing homeless in motels at $2 million per month…$100,000 tax money to breed Wyoming Toads…
    $10 Million tax dollars to improve education in Cambodia…PAPER: Fading of the Dollar’s Dominance…1.6 TRILLION for the Healthcare “Overhaul”…9-11 trillion of new debt…jobless at 9.4% at least.
    CRAWFISH NOTE: Modern liberalism is a mental disorder. Its gonna get worse because they have the votes to impose more and more secular socialist eco-kook laws on us. You just think its rocky now. You just think its gonna be better by the spring. You just think the so-called Stimulus will shorten the recession. You just think unemployment will be below 9% this year or next. You just think words that solve nothing actually solve problems.
    You just think America will show world leadership with a spine for freedom. You just think new taxes are not going to hit you next year. You just think they are finished borrowing and vote-buying by the billion. You just think non-answers and silly apologies are over. You just think blatant lies to your face are over. You just think by summer 2010 your retirement account is going to be near its June of 2008 level.
    If you think these things you need to research the democrat Jimmah Carter Misery Index…NOW…J. Carter Obama is here to stay.

    CONGRESSIONAL REPORT 6.22

    Wasteful Spending Gets Worse >>>from REP. RODNEY ALEXANDER OF LA. 6.22.2009
    Last week’s events in the U.S. House of Representatives did nothing to curtail the pattern of irresponsible spending that has been prevalent throughout the 111th Congress.
    The House passed two of the 12 FY 2010 appropriations bills – the Commerce, Justice, and Science (CJS) Appropriations Bill and the Legislative Branch Appropriations Bill. The CJS Appropriations Bill appropriated $64.4 billion, which is $6.8 billion, or 11.7 percent, above the Fiscal Year 2009 enacted level, and provides funding for the Department of Commerce, the Department of Justice, and Federal science agencies, such as NASA and the National Science Foundation (NSF), and related agencies. The Legislative Branch appropriation totaled $3.674 billion, an increase of $237 million, or 6.4 percent, above FY 2009 (excluding Senate-only items).
    House Republicans offered 94 amendments for the CJS Appropriations Bill, many of which were designed to limit spending. Unfortunately, the majority terminated debate after just 30 minutes into the first amendment, and continued to block amendments by approving only one of the 20 submitted to the Rules Committee for the Legislative Branch bill.
    Here are the facts on spending this year:
    • $2 trillion deficit for FY09
    • Second portion of TARP funds allowed to be spent – $350 billion
    • Stimulus (H.R. 1) – $787 billion (over $1 trillion with debt costs)
    • Omnibus (H.R. 1105) – $409 billion
    • The President’s budget increased total spending to $4 trillion in 2009 – the highest Federal spending as a percentage of GDP since World War II.
    Federal spending is out of control, and the hard-working American taxpayers deserve better.

    POST OF THE WEEKEND

    Posted by: Spidey, 6/21/2009 6:06:19 AM (No. 5618793) on lucianne.com
    People have to remember that all these polls are heavily weighted with Dims but you never know unless you dig into them.
    It’s like the speed reading fine print at the end of drug commercials. Polls are simply part of the liberal brainwashing machine.Bill Clinto despite all the scandals always stayed around 60%. Bush always 30 something. The pollsters read caveats then ask the question. “Given the horrible way Bush has handled Iraq, do you approve of his handling of the job?” Doesn’t hurt to have the deaths in the war scrolling across the bottom of your screen every 5 minutes… which we haven’t seen since Obama took over.
    Nobody will ask “Given that unemployment is closing in on 10%, how would you rate Obama’s handling of the economy?”
    Instead they ask who’s the blame for it.
    The bottom line is they can always poll to get the result they want.This might be a fake slip in the poll so they can show them going back up again later.
