He Won, Good Bye America


Well, the day has arrived. Lindsey Graham, Mitch McConnell and John Boehner have folded like the cheap suits they are……......

“What have we accomplished? Political victory for the president,” Graham said. “Hats off to the president — he stood his ground. He’s going to get rate increases, maybe not at [$250,000], but on upper-income Americans. And the sad news for the country is we’ve accomplished very little in not becoming Greece or getting out of debt. This deal won’t affect the debt situation. And it will be a political victory for the president, and I hope we have courage of our convictions, when it comes to raise the debt ceiling to fight what we believe as Republicans. Hats off to the president, he won.”

"This is what you get when you team up unprincipled, spineless, weak-kneed, back-patting, RINOs with a double talking, back stabbing, lying, conniving, vote stealing, union sucking, Constitution bashing, undocumented, underhanded, scheming, socialist/Marxist/fascist, treasonous, treacherous, two faced, two timing, unpatriotic, scoundrel in the Oval Office." [Dumbplumber]

The ending will never be good and it will never be unraveled.  And in an ultimate painful irony, it will be declared, by all parties, done under the Constitution.

Good Bye America…..It was nice to know you.

Enough of the Fiscal Cliff

Enough of the Fiscal Cliff

I have stopped watching all news channels, for now. The reason is simple. Just turn on any news and information network and the first words you will hear are, “Fiscal Cliff, fiscal cliff”. Enough already of the fiscal cliff.

FYI for all of you neophyte news hounds, who have been in a coma for the past 40 years, this so-called fiscal cliff has been growing ever since our government discovered it could mortgage our future by spending money it hadn’t yet collected. The past two presidents didn’t invent the cliff, they just more than doubled the distance to the bottom, from the combined previous 200 years. And this last one is working on doubling it again.

And if the pundits have discovered  any one redeeming fact, it is that this so-called cliff isn’t the pending debt, but the gigantic festering pustule that is Big Government… just getting bigger by the day. Let me explain.

The United States is now become a debtor nation, borrowing billions every day to operate and more billions to just pay the interest on what they’ve already borrowed. But like any good debtor, have they figured out they are living beyond their means? No, no and Hell no.

This administration in particular has doubled down on debt by entering into a Faustian Deal with ‘Low Information’ voters. He gives them hundreds of billions in "stimulus" grants, directed soley at the unions, unending unemployment insurance, fraudulent disability benefits, unfettered access to food stamps, free medical services, free abortions and birth control, Obamaphones, EBT cards (that they can use in Vegas and Hawaii) and just about any other benefit they want to ask for. In return, Obama gets their votes.

On the other hand, our military has ballooned out of control. I don’t just mean $100 million dollar fighter jets and multi-billion dollar aircraft carriers. We are engaged in no less than three ongoing wars. The wars in Afghanistan and Iraq (yes we never left and more are going back) and the unending  war on Common Sense. Never mind that we are maintaining over 700 military installations around the world….like we actually need all 700.
 

And never let a stupid idea go to waste, but taxing millionaires and billionaires has already been debunked, because if you took ALL their wealth today, it would only run this monstrosity for about 8 months. Then what would you do?

No, the genius of our Congress is they have carefully concealed that this isn’t about taxing the rich--because they don’t tax wealth, they tax incomes-- but rather making the 'working wealthy' stay in harness and give away the fruits of their labor, for the rest of their lives. Yeah, like they don’t have the intelligence and resources to take their toys and go somewhere else. Hello!

Meanwhile, Big Government will be lowering its sights down to the middle class, who haven’t the inclination, ability or wherewithal to make these moves, to replace the rich in paying for this behemoth.

No my friends, there is really only one war going on here, the one between those paying taxes and those spending them. Nevermind that the size and cost of government will never enter into these negotiations. It, as it is now being reported, is the Price we’re going to pay for an unbridled, ballooning, ever encroaching, ever controlling government run amok.

Because a smaller, less intrusive, leaner, more efficient governing has never been the goal of any Party in our government. Any Party running on this platform will be ‘hounded’ out of a position of power before they ever get near it. And if we learned nothing else from the last election, victory was was attained, not by the vast majority of tax payers, but by the sycophants of Big Government, and those that leach from and sustain themselves on the toil of others.

We are So Screwed.

We Are so Screwed Part Deaux

The Headline screams, “It’s All Up To Them”. Well, if Harry Reid and Mitch McConnell have the final say on our future…….we’re screwed, blued and tattooed.

No Good Deed...

Just when you thought that a good idea could make lemonade out of lemons, along comes the Liberals, unions and bureaucrats.

A few days after the Sandy Hook massacre I thought hiring unemployed servicemen and women to provide security at our nation’s schools was a grand idea. We could provide these former soldiers living wages in return for their training and patriotism in securing our country’s youth from random acts of violence. Now how simple was that???

But No Good Deed Goes Unpunished, or mangled beyond recognition.

Since then, our politicians, union leaders and knee-jerk liberals have turned the whole thing around into, “Hiring more cops (read union cops) to patrol our schools”.

Of course, this will require more training (as if they didn‘t get enough at Basic), more equipment, more union dues, more reporting, more ‘centralization‘, more, more, more…..until the original idea has morphed into another TSA nightmare.

Will we see any of our former soldiers hired? Of course we will, but at far greater and unnecessary expense and with attached benefits that will take our unfunded obligations further into the stratosphere.

I wouldn’t be surprised that we will form a completely new bureaucracy for school security, with separate and complicated regulations and training manuals for pre-school, grade school, junior high then high schools. Maybe even colleges. There is no level of excess unattainable by bureaucrats and unions.   It’s no wonder school districts are backing away.

In the end, this great idea will become, in true fashion, just another government generated nightmare and boondoggle of galactic proportions.

And I can’t wait for the inevitable day, during a union strike, an armed loony mows down an entire classroom.

Now I wish I had never thought or heard of it.

An Idea Whose Time has Come


It has already begun. Since November 6, I have fielded no less than five telephone solicitations for funds to beat back the Liberals in the NEXT election. The ‘Pitch’ goes something like this: “Will you help us stop the Progressives and Liberals, come next election?”

To this I answer: “No, you idiot. You shoved Mitt Romney down my throat, against my will. And in doing so, you belittled, insulted and ignored the Tea Party and their candidates, which were instrumental in giving you the majority in the House in 2010”.

Truth of the matter is, these politicos are sucking the conservatives dry, with promises of future wins that cannot and will not happen, given the voting and campaigning corruption of the last election.

Here’s an idea whose time is way late in coming. Why don’t we direct some of that anger, aggression and frustration in a way that will change the hearts and minds of those that would end America as we know it? Why don’t we begin a program that will make socialism, Marxism and cronyism so distasteful they will die for lack of interest? Why don’t we make some lemonade out of lemons?

Time to rally the disgruntled, unemployed, patriotic, former military, law enforcement or intelligence agents, highly trained in surveillance, interdiction, confrontation and behavior modification (for lack of a better term), to act on behalf of patriotic Americans, to restore respect for our Constitution and fulfill the Pledge they took when entering service.

Of course, those that are egregiously violating our Founder’s wishes can expect to experience some discomfort, which they will be quick to claim are violations of their rights.  I would submit that in executing ‘their’ violations they forfeited the protections granted the rest of us. Think of it as a temporary sacrifice for the greater good.

So, if someone wants to start a Fundraiser for this cause, let me know and I will be the first to donate. It might take a while, but I think we would find that a few patriotic votes by Congressmen and Senators in casts and wheel chairs will generate significant revenues towards a broader respect for America and what She stands for.

Bits and Pieces

Bits and Pieces

Apparently Michele Obama has drawn the ire of several former Secretary’s of State by claiming that Republicans suppressed voter turnout in the 2012 election. Wow.

With several precincts in Pennsylvania experiencing 100% of votes going to Obama and some districts in Ohio reporting a 125% voter turnout, I would say that Michele is right. Just think of what could have happened if Republicans hadn’t interfered.

*****************************************

A good friend asked me the other day, “How many quail do you have?” The question should have been, 'How many quail have us'? You see, we once had 3 coveys of about 25 or 30 each. And they migrated from neighbor to neighbor sampling the different bills of fare tossed out by the benevolent.

However, we can no longer refer to them as coveys, because ‘coveys’ are small batches of cute little birds. We now have a huge ‘herd’ of small turkeys circling our feeding area like a gang of mobbed-up debt collectors threatening violence if we don’t get the chum out by 3 PM….or else.

You see, over past few years we have shoved several hundred pounds of a mixture of wild bird food and what is affectionately referred to as ‘chick scratch’ through the gullets and out the posteriors of these feathered food felons. And if we’re ever so bold as to arrive home late for feeding, say 4 PM, we are greeted with quail and their big cousin enforcers, Eurasian Doves lurking on fences, tree branches and overhead power lines in numbers that rival anything in Hitchcock’s, The Birds.

**********************************************

And I cannot close today without a comment about the recurrent call for gun control in the aftermath of the massacre in Newtown, Conn.

I would remind the ’preferably unarmed’ that it was the British marching all night from Boston to northern Massachusetts, to confiscate the guns from the Colonists that triggered the Revolutionary War, not the Boston Tea Party.

Not Making It Up

You know, sometimes there are things you cannot make up.

If Dumbplumber were to propose killing treacherous, treasonous, plotters who are destroying our Country, our Constitution and our way of life, it would be considered a felony, actionable by arrest, a (fair) trial (by my peers) and inevitable prison.

However, if the U.N. proposes killing innocents through abortion, starvation, dehydration and euthanizing, it is considered good population control policy and would be accompanied by a grant--from this Administration, who would borrow it from China--then pass it on to third world dictators for implementation.

Welcome to Obama’s Amerika.
