Humor: Medicare

MEDICARE COVERAGE IN A NUTSHELL

The phone rings and the lady of the house answers, 'Hello.'

'Mrs. Sanders, please.' 'Speaking.'

'Mrs. Sanders, this is Doctor Jones at Saint Agnes Laboratory. When your husband's doctor sent his biopsy to the lab last week, a biopsy from another Mr. Sanders arrived as well. We are now uncertain which one belongs to your husband. Frankly, either way the results are not too good.'

'What do you mean?' Mrs. Sanders asks nervously.

'Well, one of the specimens tested positive for Alzheimer's and the other one tested positive for HIV. We can't tell which is which.'

That's dreadful! Can you do the test again?' questioned Mrs. Sanders.

'Normally we can, but Medicare will only pay for these expensive tests one time.'

'Well, what am I supposed to do now?'

The folks at Medicare recommend that you drop your husband off somewhere in the middle of town. If he finds his way home, don't sleep with him.'

Ba dum dum!

Election 2012 as seen by TheRightJack

Conservatives continue to run for local and state elections as conservatives and WIN. From all appearances, the Republican elite expects a non-conservative like the McCains of the GOP to win the national election against Obama.

Rick Santorum getting traction among the GOP hopefuls. Gingrich falling but still in the race. 2/9/12

Suggestion: Gingrich not on primary ballot in Virginia. Other states too. Write in ballots for Newt will not be counted. Solution: If voters do not vote, Romney wins. OR Vote for Ron Paul to send a message to Romney.

"… And so, when thechoices that are put before us today are dangerous ones because if we choosethis path of pitting people against each other, if we buy into this notion thatour economy really can't grow fast enough for all of us to prosper so we'regoing to have to somehow empower government to distribute the wealth of thiscountry among us, we've chosen to become like everybody else. We've chosen tobecome like the countries that your parents and grandparents came here to getaway from. And that's a powerful message. And that's the message that we needto deliver. And that's the message we need to work on delivering. It's awinning message." - - - Senator Marco Rubio [R-FL] at Hispanic LeadershipConference in Miami on January 27, 2012

SOTU 1/24/12 ...

What Obama did not say,during the State of the Union … er … make that the State of the 2012 Campaignspeech, when referring to how much better things are now compared to that ofThe Previous Administration.

• Wants to consolidate Big Govbut no mention of reducing the number of employees nor payroll.

• 2 million fewer peopleworking now that 3-4 years ago

• More smothering Big Gov regulations now than before

• Oil production on privateland is up

• Oil production on Big Govland is down

• Permit process for drilling foroil more difficult to get now than before

• No mention about the amountof debt created during his administration

• No mention that he voted forthe Frank – Dodd - Fannie - Freddie mortgage fiasco.

• No mention of the differencebetween

•• [1] paying taxes on wagesversus

•• [2] paying capital gainstaxes on interest earned, upon which taxes have already been paid on theoriginial wages. That is called double taxation.

• No mention about where BigGov is going to get the money to pay for the great new Big Dem Gov ideas.
• Send me bills to sign. Of course, Dems in Senate will not agree to any House GOP bills.

• Summary: Not much substance. Justthrowing out ideas to see if anything sticks. =TheRightJack 1/25/12

Do Nothing Congress?
1000 days today since Democrats in US Senate have passed a budget. What are they hiding by not doing this? 1/24/12

180 – House Republican bills passed

61 – Senate Democrat bills passed

900+ days since Democrats passed an annual budget

Left continues to call GOP in Congress obstructionists 1/18/12

Culture doing a 180:

• What’s good: Taking Big DemGov handouts. Having welfare babies. Not paying any taxes. Slamming successful wageearners. Wanting free college education.

• What’s bad: Capitalism. Earning power of money that comes from work. Not paying enough taxes. Working your way up to better jobs from starter jobs.

Congress not scoring well among who? Democrats continue to point the blame for the poor ratings of Congress on the GOP while the GOP tries to reign in MASSIVE Democrats and Obama spending. Democrats continue to put forth spending program after spending program with no signs of restraint. It is hard to believe that Democrats really want to bankrupt the US but since the US is already broke, you have to believe that there objective is to totally destroy the US economy.

Why? Make more people dependent on US Big Dem Gov => More Dem voters => More Dem control => Once they control it all, they can do what ever they wish. =TheRightJack 1/1/12

Obama Kansas Speech … "It starts with making sure that everyone has a fair shot at success." [whitehouse.gov] 12/6/11

Obama in Kansas [dailyadvance.com ] 12/9/11

Obama likens the American Dream to dependence on Big Gov, not individual initiative.

Obama wants total fairness and opportunity. Obviously, it includes people who elected NOT to finish school, single teen moms, potheads, druggies, convicts, unions and illegals. I am sure that US Taxpayers are going to get behind that campaign platform. Obama continues to talk jobs but is actively on course for bigger and bigger government at the expense of the US job creators. Watch what he does, not what he says. This applies to all politicians. =TheRightJack 12/10/11
x x x

Latest Obama election pitch: Do you really want to be out there on your own? Fend for yourself? [An anti self reliance pitch?]

What he means: Democrats want as many people as possible to depend on Big Dem Gov for their existence. That will require us to tax the crap out of “everyone” until all businesses are controlled or owned by Big Dem Gov. Then all US businesses will operate with the same “fire in their bellies” as Big Gov with that underlying motivation to keep costs under control, offer great products and service as does Congress, the Post Office, public schools and DMV. =TheRightJack on 12/7/11

Perfect. What a perfect way to derail a black candidate. Have white women accuse him of affairs, even if it allegedly happened years ago. Very easy stereotypical deprecation by those who have mastered the Politics of Personal Destruction for their supportive media. To be accused is to be guilty.

How to derail the other candidates …

For Newt, it will be his former wives and House leadership.

For Romney it will be his religion and his big business connections.

For Perry, it is likely to be immigration and lack of intelligence associated with his Texas drawl.

For Bachmann, it is likely to be her extreme right wing conservatism and of course, being a woman.

For Obama, it is likely to be … his record, and Who is this man? We know absolutely nothing about him before 2008?

Obama Election Strategy Announced: Obama will focus [i.e., cater to] his 2012 campaign strategies on the elite and the poor whites. The elite are the ones who want everyone with comparable incomes to pay more taxes yet seem unwilling to pay more taxes, voluntarily. The poor whites of course are those who are unable to work and those who elect not to work, plus the heavily-subsidized-by-dues me-first union boss elites.

Pressure mounting on Obama from inside his party to replace him with a more centrist candidate. Why? Looks like more and more legal US voters are leaving the Left and they are likely to leave the Congressional Democrats in large numbers too. Their only hope is that there is sufficient vote fraud [i.e., ballot stuffing] to overcome a massive legal voter surge for the GOP. =TheRightJack 11/26/11

Herman Cain gets sexual harassment claims thrown at him by Democrat Politics of Person Destruction operatives. Media careful to not mention anything about Anthony Weiner, John Edwards, Jesse Jackson and The Clinton Bimbo Eruptions. Clinton women he “friended” became targets for the Big Time Media back then, not Clinton. Bill Clinton keeping his mouth shut.

Inappropriate sexual behavior. Bill Clinton had a string of proven sexual [affairs or assault?] cases going back to his Arkansas days. Hillary in the dark. Yea right! Cain has maybe one anonymous accusation … and it was determined that is was a false accusation. Cain gets grilled. Clinton still on the loose. 10/31/11 Well, maybe it depends on the meaning of sexual behavior.

No more “cornhusker kickbacks” for Ben Nelson in Nebraska; no more "Louisiana purchase” for Mary Landrieu in exchange for the passage of the dangerous Obamacare. This is the first example of how we are going to stop the flow of terrible legislation from Washington. - - - TeaParty.net 7/31/11

Zogby Poll on Obama. On the basic question, 39.2% said they trust the president and 52.8% said they don’t. The rest were not sure. Less than half, 45.8%, over 70 said they trust him. [NewsMax.com] 7/26/11

Wall Street is largest contribute to Obama 2012 re-election campaign so far. Lawyers held the #1 position last time around. Interesting that Wall Street has taken the brunt of the Obama attacks against capitalism.

Obama to run for re-election on his so called “good intentions” and not results, like an absolutely terrible economy caused by socialist collective principles where Big Dem Socialist Government is in charge of all monies and payouts/entitlements [to Unions and the Voluntary Poor dependents, for instance].

Research findings. The Red, White and Blue means Republicans. Americans associate the US Flag with the GOP, not Democrats. [usnews.com] 7/20/11 Wow, more self cleansing … and Democrats have done it to themselves, just like they have done by promoting abortions.

# # #

Budgets and Democrats. Any guesses as to how long it has been since Democrats in Congress have fulfilled their obligation to submit an annual budget? Is it 4 years. Why? It is pretty obvious that Democrat budgets are so unsustainably high that they will not bring them forward for fear of the election problems that Democrats would create for themselves. Democrats usually want GOP to side with them on controversial issues so that the blame can be spread to everyone. Democrats do not want to take ownership of losing issues. Where am I wrong. =TheRightJack

“They [Media Matters for America] used to monitor the media and point out things that were wrong, false, inappropriate, which is fine, but what you are hearing…is that really now they’re involved in opposition research. They are digging up dirt on people. They’re trying to ruin people’s lives and reputation because they disagree with their politics. And, in specific here, what they disagree with is conservative politics and they really don’t like Fox News. So they’re going after everybody associated with Fox News including the likes of me.” - - - Juan Williams on Fox News 7/5/11

# # #

Do we really want to consider electing Democrat party candidates whose supporters and donors vow to bring down the US economy. They include George Soros, Steve Lerner [SEIU official], Mexican Workers Party, the Unions and others.

# # #

Borked. Remember that term? Democrats now accuse Republicans of what “The Dems” have been doing to the US economy. This is not a new political strategy for Democrats. The Clintons have done this before. Remember the “Politics of Personal Destruction.” To the best of my recall, this started as a Democrat “policy” to berate and slander Republicans. It was used against Oliver North, any Republican attorney general, and any Republican member of Congress who was a threat. It continues today against Sarah Palin and any Republican who gains prominence. See Democrat Hit List here at TheRightJack.

Obama gives “Straw Man” choice of tax cuts for big business like Big Oil or funds for children. Yet Obama wants to allow millions of illegals to stay in the USA and receive free benefits for which they have paid nothing into the system. Where is Obama on the argument that … US Tax Payer money to support thousands if not millions of illegals or US Tax Payer money to support programs for our US Children.

Richard Lugar [R-IN], Obama’s favorite Republican. Lugar voted for the liberal bailouts, sponsored amnesty legislation, supports gun bans, supported Obama's liberal supreme Court nominees, and voted against a ban on earmarks! His GOP opponent gaining support in Indiana.

Blagojevich. What did he learn? According to a sound bite on a radio news report, he learned … "not to talk so much." That means he did not learn to be honest rather than perpetrate various illegal political tricks and unsuccessful payoffs. 6/27/11 Click Here.

# # #

Prediction. If GOP takes the Senate and the House in the 2012 election and Obama is reelected . . . there will continue to be a string of far left wing appointees who will continue to strangle the US economy. See Rebecca Wodder nominee for Interior.

# # #

The Buck never stops here.

New Democrats campaign strategy … do all they can with the full support of the Big Time Dying Democrat Media to blame the Democrat economic disaster on Republicans.

Theme: the last 2 ½ years under Obama and 4-5 years under a total Democrat Congress just could not overcome what Bush and the GOP did to the US economy. The economy was much worse than we expected ... the old Bill Clinton line when he took office. It is going to take a long time to get this corrected.

# # #

Gov Chris Christi of NJ is becoming a GOP presidential favorite for his no nonsense style and plain talking answers to questions. Unlike many Republicans who “pussie foot” around with their answers, he comes directly to the point. His kind of talk is what it will take to back Democrats into the corner they created. =trj

Off the cliff. Did you see the recent Democrat commercial . . . a white man in a suit is pushing a terrified elderly lady in a wheel chair off a cliff with the fact-less claim, of course, that Republicans want to kill seniors. June 2011

Republicans want to kill seniors. Recurring Democrat campaign theme in one form or another. Ditto the "Republicans want seniors to eat dog food" refrain when GOP sought budget cuts a decade or more ago. These claims are not as outrageous as the number of people that apparently believe them.

# # #

Bill O’Reilly is very critical of Herman Cain as a presidential candidate. Cain was interviewed on The Factor and dismissed some of his comments quite abruptly. Maybe there is something else going on with Mr O that would cause him to “dis” the Pizza Man so abruptly. Perhaps it is because Cain is close to Neil Boortz and has/had his own talk show.

TheRightJack believes that Herman Cain is a viable presidential candidate along with Michelle Bachmann, Chris Christy and John Bolton. The latter two have not announced that they are candidates. Sarah Palin needs more experience but actually has had more successful experiences in government than has Obama. He still sounds like a union hack and partisan organizer. However, he has a formidable political team propping him up including, of course, the Big Time Dying Democrat Media.

George Soros is funding a national campaign to get Democrat Secretaries of State elected. Why? Secretaries of State count the votes. Those who count the vote decide the winner.

# # #

It is ...

The magnetic personality of Obama or the absolutely wretched economic policies and anti-USA politics of Obama.

Will the voters consider those two factors or will personality trump bad performance.

Which way are the voters going to go?

Will those who pay no taxes and those whose paycheck is dependent on government spending vote for more government and more spending regardless of what is best for the country

We know that 30±% on the Left will vote for Obama without question, regardless of economic facts.

We also know that 30±% on the right will vote for any GOP candidate.

Who will the middle 30% - 40% hear the last few days before the election when casting their votes.

Can the GOP make Obama pay for his massively unpopular policies OR IS the GOP going to “make nice” as did John McCain in the 2010 campaigning and debates.

And finally, who will be counting the votes?

Travel day radio 2/8/12

NPR. Interview with formerClinton cabinet member, Robert Reich, now a college professor, calls SocialSecurity an entitlement while sticking it to Republicans. Heard on NPS 2/8/12.
Correction: We bought and paidfor our Social Security while food stamps, unemployment and welfare paymentsfor having kids are entitlements created to generate more Democrat voters.

Abortion. With abortion as acentral plank in the Democrat political platform, they need to get as many votersfrom other sources as possible. That means Big Dem Gov [1] payments andsubsidies to unions and education and [2] opening the US borders to free and unrestricted immigration.

NPR. Talk show host continuesto frame the Tea Party as a right wing radical group made up of violent peopledespite an over 70% approval rating from the general population. This is thekind of ongoing media bias by Democrats IN the media that keeps theuninformed and uneducated lining up at the Big Dem Gov Trough of Dependence. Heard on NPR2/8/12

+ + + + ++

Replay: Bernard Goldburg onFox explained that Left wing liberals consider themselves to be mainstream andany person to their right is radical.

People like this are so insular that they actually do not know what is going on outside their own narrow sphere of influence, politically called "Inside the Beltway" and "Post Hole Deep" in academic circles. The latter thought is from TheRightJack

Bias? 250 or so news articlesappeared when Newt was charged by the Democrat dominated House for ethicsviolations. Around 75 of those charges came from one House member, a Democrat. The charges involved a college course he was teaching. The IRS later said that therewere no tax violations. Little or no coverage of this by Big Dem Media. Heardon the Neal Boortz radio show 1/24/12

Bias? Media fails to reportDemocrat security leaks [i.e., CIA operatives] to newspaper by former John Kerrystaffer during campaign season. Newspaper pleads ignorance. [redstate.com]1/23/12 Media continues its cover ups and/or failure to investigate Democrats while making upstuff about Republicans.

Reading the pulse. Letters to the Editor published by our local Left wing newspaper focus on the bias claims against Fox News. This is why the 2012 election will be close. After three years, Democrat party line is to blame our financial mess on GOP. Democrats not in touch with reality or the facts. See Election 2012 here at TheRightJack 1/24/12

72% of NBC references to GOP are negative. Heard on the radio 1/20/12.

90%. Before the 2008election, Bush 43 was hammered relentlessly by Democrats, and their Media inparticular, about the poor US economy. Unemployment at 4.6%. High Debt. Todaywith 9% adjusted unemployment and nearly 20% real unemployment to go along withfewer actual jobs today than in 2008, there is next to no criticism of Obama inthe Big Time Dying Democrat Media. Well, what do you expect. 90% of the Big Time Dying Media are self-defined Democrats. =TheRightJack 1/19/12

Bias? Juan Williams of Fox News continues Democrat media charges of racism onany mention or criticism of Obama policies. This specific occurrence was in response to a NewtGingrich answer [i.e., The Food Stamp President] to Williams’ debate question in SC. Heard on O’Reilly 1/18/12

Mediacharges of Racism have been the primary defense of Obama policies from day one.It serves two purposes: [1] suppress criticisms of Obama's policies, and [2] keepAfrican-American voters on the Democrat plantation.

Questions the media will never ask Obama [westernjournalism.com] 1/16/12

Andthen there is still that sticky little birth certificate issue and the Obama failureto produce one that can be verified and certified as legitimate.

Media wars. Advice continueto filter out that Republicans need to “play nice” rather than confront Obamaand the Democrats about their disastrous economic policies. The gist of thesereports seem to be that if Republicans continue to talk like extreme far right wingConservatives, the moderate Republicans and the Independents will flock toObama. At the same time, there seems to be no remarks for the really extreme far left wingprogressive Democrats that they need to tone down their nasty rhetoric and namecalling, which they have been doing for decades. Yet, Republicans seem to bewinning local and statewide election after election by running as Conservativeswho challenge the spending habits of Big Washington Gov. Chances are that these advice pieces by theBig Time Dying Leftist Media are aimed at voters who are not really payingattention yet and voters on the Right who have not yet figured out that they arebeing “gamed” by the Leftist Media. =TheRightJack 1/3/12

Replay FYI: Unbiased Media. The Big TimeDying Dem Media believe that they are mainstream and middle of the road. Allother media to their right are “extreme” right wing.

Worker surplus. Job shortage claims in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics by journalists, lobbyists and Obama is false. If anything, jobs are needed, not more talented workers. [numbersusa.com] 11/15/11

Biased media reporting is:
• Selective reporting
• Failure to investigate

• Extensive use of campaign talking points
• Fabrications, also called lies

How long can the Big Time Dying Media continue to suffer financial losses in advertising revenue and subscription revenue by supporting Obama [biased reporting] and the disastrous Democrat agenda against business? Small business [i.e., under 250 workers] employees 80% of US workforce.

Democrats blast Republicans as do nothings. GOP is trying. Republican solutions and legislation never gets reported by their media. Democrat stalling and obstacles seldom if ever reported by their media.

Media Integrity: The Big Time Dying Media are the ones who tried to convince us that the economy was in decline during the Bush 43 administration. Then they instantly flipped 180 degrees while trying to convince us that the economy has been improving during the Obama administration. The media propaganda continues despite more than double the unemployment rate of the Bush years, not to mention more food stamp recipients, more foreclosures, falling home values, declining construction, and stagnant if not declining sales.

Missing. Have you noticed that there are few if any references to the pieces of legislation that have been offered by Republicans over the past five years. Is that because Republicans are a do-nothing bunch or is that because Democrats have shot them all down in committee. In this case, do-nothing means that Republicans have tried to stop Democrats and Obama from further damaging the USA economy.

Democrat dying media happy. Rick Perry cannot recall the three federal agencies he would eliminate. It was education, commerce and energy. Media lets slide The Obama Gaffe when he spoke about our 57 states. There are 57 muslim states. 11/10/11

Test. National Alert on radio and TV. November 9, 2011 at 2:00 pm. Done either by FEMA, FCC, Homeland Security or The White House so Obama can show you how much he cares. There are countless shady activities going on with this Obama group in Washington that we must be very suspicious about any project they bring forth.

A+. I read an extremely well written article in our local editorial page today. I mean it was a really well written response to a local letter to the editor. Of course, it was pro Democrat which is normal here. The quality of this “response” reminded me of those term papers that students can purchase on any subject. I had a student turn in three such “papers” in succession until I told her that she must write her own paper. This A+ article caused me to wonder ... are Democrats now offering files of generic “letters to the editors” on all topics that can be customized for local consumption. 10/31/11

Big Time Dying Democrat Media and the really left wing Democrat talking heads are doing all that they can to divert all blame for our sinking economy away from Obama [2009 - 2011] and the previous four years [2007 - 2010] of Democrat controlled Congress. Ooops. Do not forget Bush 43. As if nobody noticed.

Flash Mobs. Democrats down-playing racial mob violence perpetrated by young black teens on mostly white men, women and children across the nation. Hate crimes not mentioned. Similar violent attacks on Asians as well. Mobs violence reported in St Louis, San Francisco and Philadelphia. Ample witnesses. Police under-performing. Media silent. 8/7/11 Comments by President Obama, Rev Jesse Jackson, Rev Al Sharpton and Minister Farakhan that might cool down these mobs … ah … missing in action.

Terrorism to Democrats like Joe Biden is fiscal responsibility and not spending more than you make, or “take in” when it comes to Congress. Democrats are doing their best, with considerable help from the Big Time Dying Democrat media, to label Tea Party members as terrorists. Will it stick, considering the wide variety of people who like the Tea Party.

ATMs. Obama blames the poor US economy on automatic teller machines. Can you imagine the ridecule and slander that would have come from the Big Time Dying Media had a Republican said this. By the way, there were ATMs during to good economic times of Bush 41 and Bush 43. They were first introduced in 1972. Who is the economic fool?

NY Times and Washington Post, charter members of the Democrat Media asks for help to destroy Sarah Palin. They are fishing for dirt and want readers to help sort through her emails while in office. How Gestapo-like.
Business writers from the New York Times, not exactly a mouthpiece for the Republican Party, lay our financial problems at the feet of Democrats in Congress and Wall Street. This is not what one would expect to find since the New York Times is considered the unofficial mouthpiece of most all Democrats in the media.

Democrats in the media and are having a good old time picking the Republican presidential candidates. By in large, their preferences seems to be those who are not favored by the Tea Party list.

Dem Resignations and the media. Remember the media criticism of GOP administrations when their cabinet members and advisers resign as they linked them to chaos and disarray in the administration. No such media criticism of Obama as they continue to prop up a predictably failed far left Democrat administration. =trj

Media and others raise issues over Romney as a mormon. No issue with Obama as a closet muslim by Leftist media. Any Republican is better than Obama. Get over it.

80%. Obama got the vote of 80% of the journalists in the media in 2010. It is factually correct that when the Big Time Dying Democrat Media cannot find any dirt on Republicans, they just make it up. Of course, it is reported as news. =trj

Things the media would say about Obama if he were a Republican: Stupid. Amateur. Bankrupt us. Wrecking our economy. Not authentic black man. Arrogant jerk. [Town Hall]

Perhaps the Big Time Dying Media is discovering that reporters, using the term loosely, can make names for themselves and cash in by investigating actual trangressions rather than just make up stuff and create inuendos involving Republicans. After all, the objective of reporters today is to make a name for themselves and move up the corporate ladder. It just more widely accepted in the media when they make up or actually find dirt on Republicans. =trj

Big Time Dying Media just an extension of the Democrat Party.

Media make up stories. Esquire Magazine, that endorsed Barack Obama for president in 2008, published a completely fabricated news story claiming Jerome Corsi's new best-selling "Where's the Birth Certificate," published by WND Books, has been disavowed by the publisher and taken out of stores nationwide, with refunds offered to purchasers. [WND] 5/19/11 FALSE! Not true!

Caution: US Voters and Tax Payers must be aware that Democrats continually make up stories to fit their needs, and the Big Time Dying Democrat Media seldom if ever challenges or investigates the accuracy of their claims. Remember:

Sarah Palin. With considerable help from the media, Democrats have been constructing negative voter opinions about Republicans since Dwight Eisenhower. Bush 43 was trashed the very moment he became a Presidential nominee. John McCain was considered a good guy by the media until he became the Republican nominee for the Presidency. Then, Democrats and their media ripped him to shreds. =TheRightJack

Obama 2012, the year that was

2012-02-07T10:56:00.000-08:00

Red Flag: How will Obama and the Democrats create obstacles to smother the US economy and nail US voters?

2/7/12 Obama eliminates combat pay for soldiers unless they are being shot at.

2/4/12 Unemployment report for January 2012. Unemployment falls as fewer and fewer people hold jobs and the percentage of the eligible workforce on government assistance continues to rise.

2/3/12 Obama rules that even catholic church related hospitals provide birth control service or lose Big Dem Gov money. 25% of US hospitals are catholic-based.

Prior to this, ObamaCare requires that abortion services must be provided. Both requirements are contrary to catholic church dogma. It appears that a majority of catholics do not care one way or the other.

Meanwhile, muslim dogma in USA gets one pass after another. Examples: There are instances where sharia law has replaced US law in court. The supposed Big Dem Gov conflict between government and religion [i.e., Christmas] has been waived in the case of government and muslim religious practices in the USA.

1/20/12. How does Obama legally and ethically accumulate $7 million in net worth in less than 25 years.

1/18/12. Obama vetoes Canadianoil pipeline citing GOP arbitrary timeline. Unions angry. Obama money backersangry. As with oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico, Obama supports it but placespermit obstacles in the path of drilling and energy self-sufficiency.

Pipeline veto is Politics over common sense and the US jobs picture.
• Why? Obama wants to postpone action on this until after the election.
• Why? EnviroCrats may not vote for Obama if he allows it to pass before the 2012 election.

1/4/11. Appoints John Cordray in recess appointment to head Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. What obstacles will he bring forth to cripple business. Infers that Wall Street needs attention, the largest contributor to Obama campaign.

12/30/11. $14 million. Cost of Obamavacations in 2010. Heard on Fox radio. Not getting much attention in the Big Time Dem media.

Remember all of the millions of US Taxpayer dollars that Obama gave to solar energy companies that went bankrupt.

Remember that Obama and Family have spent millions on lavish vacations and White House parties [e.g., Halloween] while million of Americans are out of work and million more have stopped looking for work.

Remember that Obama and hisDemocrats have failed to stand behind or beside Israel, our only true friend inthe Middle East.

Remember that Obama has yet to prove without doubts that he is a US citizen.

Remember when Obama Secretary of State Clinton adopted the UN's No Guns for Citizens agenda.

Remember when Obama DOJ AG Holder elected to not prosecute the New Black Panthers for their aggressively intimidating polling tactics. August 2011

Remember when Obama DOJ AG Holder threatened and sued selected states so that they will be forced to stop enforcing existing immigration laws.

Remember when Obama gave millions to China to study why their prostitutes drink.

Remember when Obama gave billions to Brazil for off shore drilling ... and it does not benefit the USA in any way.

Remember when Obama bowed before other heads of state.

Remember when Obama referred to the 57 states, known properly as the 57 muslim states.

Remember when Obama bailed out GM, and the total amount has yet to be repaid.

Student Education or Indoctrination? Student achievement is the primary purpose of education in our public and private school systems. Education versus indoctrination is becoming a critical issue in shaping young minds. Remember that capturing the minds of the youth through indoctrination has been a primary “social” objective and accomplishment of most totalitarian regimes like those of NAZI Germany, Japan, USSR, China, Cuba and Iran. This includes many of the muslim theocracies where government, politics and religion are one in the same. We now see evidence of indoctrination becoming more common in our US public and private school systems. Mindless repetition of political dogma is indoctrination, not education. =TheRightJack 11/28/11

Government schools are one of our most debilitating government failures. First, school leaders and politicians cry out for more and more money. Then, when it occurs, more money has absolutely no effect on student performance. Secondly, teacher indoctrination of students into favored political positions takes precedence over the unbiased education of students.

College degrees: Fields of study with a bachelor’s degree that do not pay well. Do not take out massive student loans if you plan to major in one of these areas.

• History - become an attorney
• Psychology, need a PhD
• Ethnic studies
• Women’s studies
• Classical studies

Strategy: Get a job and/or find a less expensive college. Take two years at a community college and then transfer.

So, select another major unless you are willing to earn a Masters Degree and then a Doctorate. Consider also that unemployment for people with a college degree has doubled. It was 4%, now it is at 8+% under the Obama economic policies. Employment = jobs are much worse for young adults with no college degree and even worse yet for dropouts with no high school diploma.

Prostitution: It is interesting to hear that women who complain about their job prospects are quick to bring up prostitution as their only course of action. In addition to hearing it in broadcasts, I have actually heard well educated women say this.

It’s terrible. - - - Steve Jobs on education reform

Union Schools: Good for bad teachers. Bad for good kids. A thought expanded upon a bit with original credit based on what John Stossel tweeted on 9/20/11

Wall Street Protesters want free university education, a $20 minimum wage, total debt forgiveness, and an end to corporate profits among other things.

As educational corporations, nearly all US institutions of learning of all sizes are subsidized with local, state and federal US Taxpayer money at a rate of 30% or more. When all corporate profits and all income are seized by Big Gov, who pays the bills. Seems like our protesters need to go back and review Econ 101 where it is taught that innovation and risk vs reward are the foundations of capitalism, profits and comfortable university teaching, learning and living. =TheRightJack

Boortz on Re-Education in US Schools. Remember how you bought school supplies and then bought a small box or zippered binder in which to keep “your” supplies – paper, pencils, ruler, glue, scissors, crayons, etc. Hold on. This is how that is done in some schools today. Buy your school supplies, just like we always did. Bring them to school, just like we always did. … But now … bring them to the front of the room and put them in a common or community box. Now “your” school supplies belong to all of your classmates. Student come and get supplies that you bought, when needed. Do you see a little “collectivism” creeping into the minds and actions of your treasured offspring?

The bottom has come up. Still far too many students can neither read nor write. Who is to blame for this. Certainly not the students. It is teachers, parents and governments that keep lowering the bar that enables teachers to "dumb down" their students. See History just below =TheRightJack 8/9/11

History. In the history of public school education in the USA, there have been Legislators who did not want the masses to become too well educated. They might start asking questions. Today, some business leaders do not want their employees to become too well educated for fear that they will seek employment elsewhere. You can verify this with the GED leaders in your area. ... Furthermore, since teachers became unionized, starting in the 1960s, we have Big Dem Gov and unions putting union seniority rather than teacher competence above the education of our children. This lack of educational focus gives private school graduates a big head start into positions of leadership, and employers know it. =TheRightJack

Democrat Debt Scam. Obama will not assure seniors and soldiers that they will receive their monthly checks while continuing to pay out billions to the favored Big Gov recipients.

Compare this Democrat Debt Scam to school levies when they are up for a vote.

Programs like this and many others foisted upon our schools are part of the reason our students cannot read, write, add, subtract and do not know their geography. While they do not know Alabama from Arizona, they do know all about sexting and how to put a condom on a banana. Add "indoctrination" rather than "education" to the agenda of some teachers and school administrators and it is easy to see why many students in this generation know much less than their predecessors. Of course, if you are a Democrat, there is no need for you to know anything. Big Dem Gov will care of your every need, at US Taxpayers expense, of course. =trj

The Workforce. Retirees generally are more costly to support than children. The average public school education costs $10,000 a year.

In all, taxpayers will spend about $125,000 educating a child and $500,000 caring for a senior, in today’s dollars at current life expectancies, according to federal education and retirement program data. The costs are paid differently, too. State and local governments, through sales and property taxes, pay most education expenses. The federal government, though income taxes, pays most retiree costs.

Fact Check. Supporters of Wisconsin teachers get basic facts about teaching completely wrong -- The Democratic Party of Wisconsin and other supporters of the state's teachers union need to check their math: In Facebook posts and twitter messages, union supporters have been "promoting statistics that would suggest that collective bargaining for teachers is correlated with higher scores on standardized academic tests," according to Politifact. More specifically, union supporters claim that the five states that do not have collective bargaining for teachers have the following SAT/ACT ranks: South Carolina -50th/ North Carolina -49th/ Georgia -48th/ Texas -47th/ Virginia -44th," and that Wisconsin ranks second. According to Politifact, the claim is completely bogus. For starters, the data used to assemble the ranking is from 1999. In data from 2010, Virginia places higher (34th) and Wisconsin places slightly lower (3rd) on the SAT. The rest of the non-union states do much worse, but not because of collective bargaining. More likely, it's because only 4 percent of Wisconsin students took the SAT in 2010, compared to 74 percent of Georgia students, 67 percent of Virginia students, 66 percent of South Carolina students, 63 percent of North Carolina students, and 53 percent of Texas students. Hell, every state in the country would have a shot at the podium if it excluded 96 percent of its students from standardized test rankings.

No Excuses Please. There is no excuse for 8th graders to not be able to read or work elementary math problems. Back when the Earth was cooling and I was in elementary school, we had to stand beside our desks and read aloud in class. We had to go to the chalkboard and work math problems that we were studying. Teachers kept those with difficulties after school to fix their errors. Today, this board work would be considering embarrassing and would harm student self-esteem.

Test scores. Many nations have two tracks for students. Some children go to school for anywhere from 5 to 8 years. Other students are enrolled for 12 or 13 years. Why? They have established what you might call a "labor" track and what you might call a "college prep" track. Guess on which track many test scores are based on for math and science? Our test scores are usually based on ALL students, not just our college prep students.

13%. Come down from your ivory tower, Dick Durbin - Is Sen Dick Durbin shameless, or just ill-informed? On Tuesday, the Illinois senator spoke to the National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities, a trade group hellbent on cutting off federal funding to for-profit colleges. Durbin had this to say about the industry he's villified for over a year now: "There are many good for-profit colleges and they serve a vital purpose....But there are also a lot of bad for-profit schools that are raking in huge amounts of federal dollars and leaving students poorly trained and over their heads in debt." Are those statements true? Yes. So are these statements: "There are many good non-profit colleges and they serve a vital purpose. ... But there are also a lot of bad non-profit schools that are raking in huge amounts of federal dollars and leaving students poorly trained and over their heads in debt." One such non-profit is Chicago State University in Durbin's home state of Illinois. In its annual education issue, Washington Monthly reported that Chicago State "has the worst graduation rate of any public four-year university in Illinois and one of the worst in the nation, with just 13% of students finishing in six years." Funny how this problem is bigger--and closer to home--than either Durbin or Chicagoan Arne Duncan are willing to admit. [The DC Morning 2/2/11]

National science scores disappoint: More than 2/3s of the nation's 4th graders failed to show proficiency in science in 2009, the federal government reported, meaning that the average student was likely to be stumped when asked to interpret a temperature graph or explain an example of heat transfer. Roughly six out of 10 8th-graders and 12th-graders also fell short of science proficiency on the National Assessment of Educational Progress, a key measure of performance in a subject that President Obama and business leaders call crucial for American competitiveness. "It's disappointing," said Francis Eberle, executive director of the National Science Teachers Association, based in Arlington. "Essentially, it says that science hasn't been part of the agenda. Science has had very little attention." He said that reading and math - the focus of most state standardized tests - have squeezed time for science lessons in daily classroom schedules.

Proposal Would Transform College Aid

Obama Plan to Expand Federal Control of Lending Includes Creating Entitlement

Click here to read the full article.

Washington Post Staff Writer
Monday, May 4, 2009

"President Obama's health-care goals may be garnering attention, but his higher-education proposals are no less ambitious.

If adopted, they could transform the financial aid landscape for millions of students while expanding federal authority to a degree that even Democrats concede is controversial. ..."

Editor’s Note: Remember, HillaryCare was going to dictate what health fields colleges could offer and what students could enroll in and study. Medical schools would have had enrollment ceilings in certain fields. With that, just watch what happens to the choice of majors once the government is in total control of grant money.

Want to become a teacher? That is probably OK because that is how the government indoctrinates the k-12 student population.

Want to study art, business or medicine? Not so fast there lowly high school graduates. Let your all-knowing and all-seeing Uncle Sam take a politically correct look at the job market and decide the appropriate major for you . . . The Right Jack

This is pathetic! Nearly 14 million Americans are unemployed, and we could only create 80,000 new jobs? Source: Presented by Buddy Roemer for President 11/4/11

250,000 jobs need to be created every month to keep up with population growth and new people aging into the workforce. So, it is hard to determine how the Big Gov DOL unemployment accountants come up with that 9.0% figure for last month. Some estimates have unemployment as high as 20% along with growing food stamp assistance created by Obama economic policies. 10/4/11

Signs of deflation = 7

Economist Gary Shilling says there are seven signs of deflation, and five are already here ...
• financial assets
• tangible assets
• commodity prices
• wages, and
• currencies

The remaining two deflationary signs ...
• deflation by government and the
• goods and services deflation

that the Federal Reserve fears can't be far behind, given all the other areas where prices are already falling, says Shilling.

“Financial assets are sinking again under the weight of an increasingly recession-prone U.S. economy, a likely hard landing in China, and Europe's sovereign-debt crisis,” Shilling writes in The Christian Science Monitor. “That crisis and ratings downgrades are forcing down the value of sovereign debt and bank shares.” [moneynews.com] 11/4/11

Is it possible that the “string of bad luck” that Obama has faced is due to just two main things:

Do away with the debt ceiling. [PersonalLiberty.com] 7/19/11 Like that is a really bright idea with Democrats who only know how to spend and the olde guard Republican legislators who are of a similar mind set.

Poverty in America. An amenities score [appliances TVs etc] of 19 is the median number for Americans. Analysis showed that median “poor households” most frequently had 14 items: air conditioning, washer and dryer, ceiling fans, cordless phone, etc. 43% of all poor households own their own homes. The average home owned by persons classified as poor by the Census Bureau is a three-bedroom house with one-and-a-half baths, a garage, and a porch or patio.

This reminds me of a joke that goes like this …
A man is laying in his hospital bed and his wife was at his bedside.

He said:

“You were by my side when we had that car wreck.”

“You were at my side when I slipped and fell on that hike.”

“You were by my side when I broke my arm.”

“And now you are here by my side in the hospital.”

“I am beginning to think that you are Bad Luck.” [The Democrats, that is ; - )]

Obama plans to ignore Congress and raise the Debt Ceiling by himself. On Tuesday, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) announced his intention to go along with Obama's plan. … Article 1, Section 8 of the United States Constitution specifically grants the power to spend and incur debt only to Congress. Yet Mitch McConnell (R-KY) is now ready to allow Barack Obama to raise the debt ceiling all by himself – essentially granting Obama king-like powers. [Alan Keyes, Declaration Alliance]

Debt ceiling ...
Democrats say: Raise it or the US will crumble into dust, and will not have money to pay seniors and soldiers.

Republicans say: Show me the specific spending cuts and we will talk about raising the debt ceiling.

Neil Boortz says: Grow the economy at 5% per year and we will not need to do either.

TheRightJack says: I does not matter what we do. It does matter who we vote in. Democrats always want to spend more than what is generated by taxes. Republicans too … but this group “might” be willing to balance the budget.

Who is paying the bills ...
• Top 1% pay 39% of all income taxes, up from 2% on 2000 when Bush 43 took office.

• Top 25% of income earners pay 86% of all federal income taxes, up from 85% in 2000.

• Top 50% pay 97% of all income taxes.

• Percentages mean nothing to those who never learned the Three R’s and are habitually dependent on Big Dem Gov = the dole.

Compare this Democrat Debt Scam to school levies when they are up for a vote. Of all of the things that schools could stop paying, they like to threatened the end of school bussing, kindergarten, library, art and gym classes.

EPA War on copper mines and miners. Every hybrid car contains about 100 pounds of copper - most of it in the electrical cables and, of course, the electric motor. A conventional car only contains about 50 pounds of copper. … Copper is at the heart of every eco-friendly modern technology - including wind power. It is essential to everything from cell phones to toasters and, as noted, electric cars to wind turbines. Without it, life would be downright primitive, the Washington Examiner noted in a recent article. That's why it doesn't make sense for environmentalists to oppose mining copper in Alaska or anywhere else. Copper makes eco-friendly products work. [Center for the Defense of Free Enterprise]

Why banks are not lending to businesses or potential homeowners! Simple.

Democrats want to raise the debt limit but unwilling to make spending cuts. No Spending Cuts = No Change = More Debt = Upward Debt Growth.

Cuts. While House Republicans continue to deliver on promise to reduce federal spending, Democrats have doubled-down on their failed agenda of borrowing and spending. Last week, Republicans voted to cut $2.7 billion in discretionary spending, but the untold part of the story: every single Democrat in the House voted no - every single one. All of them voted against making cuts in the federal government’s annual spending … again! Democrats proved once again that they are unwilling to cut federal spending.

Rebecca Wodder, former CEO and president of Big Green's dam-killing, water-grabbing, natural gas enemy, American Rivers Inc.

Meanwhile, Senate Democrats have not passed a budget in over 780 days, and these same Democrat Senators now up for re-election next year are calling for a clean debt ceiling increase without any fiscal reforms. [The National Republican Senatorial Committee] 6/21/11

Cleaning out the American People: Trickle Down Economy of Reagan or Colonoscopy Economy by Obama?

Who owns this terrible economy? Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Chairperson of DNC, says that this economy belongs to the Democrats. Let us see how the Democrats dance around that declarative statement when and if there is no improvement. That could be easy because a majority of the people who have been polled still blame Bush 43 for our terrible economy. It has been three long years now and the Democrat have yet to fix the economy. How many know that the Democrats have controlled the House and Senate since 2007 where they stopped Bush from fixing anything related to over-spending including that Fannie and Freddie mortgage disaster.

Democrats continue to play that fact-less “economy is slowly improving” campaign theme while the real facts about the US economy continue to show downward movement.

2.5% or 3%. Obama wants to raise payroll taxes by 2.5% or 3%. Pushing for more taxes on capital gains from 15% to 22%.

Here’s how the added withholding tax would impact you:

• The federal government, as well as your state and local governments, withhold 3% from payments to any business that provides them with a product or service. This may include your local office supply store, local builders, electric company or even a business selling equipment to first responders.

• These businesses will then be forced to raise their prices to make up for the 3% of revenue being held hostage — or simply take a huge hit and risk going out of business.

• Higher prices could drastically impact government budgets, which are already strapped for cash.

• Local or state governments may be forced to raise your taxes to help make up for the budget gap.

• Similar to the 1099 mandate included in the health care bill, the 3% withholding requirement was an unrelated offset included in the Tax Reconciliation Act of 2005. Unless repealed, the 3% Withholding Tax will go into effect on January 1, 2013.

Obama - Not Exactly

2012-02-03T06:59:00.000-08:00

What Obama said versus what is on the record ...

Originally published on TheRightJack 6/1/08

1.) Selma Got Me Born -
NOT EXACTLY, your parents felt safe enough to have you in 1961 - Selma had no effect on your birth, as Selma was in 1965.

(Google 'Obama Selma' for his full March 4, 2007 speech and articles about its various untruths.)

2.) Father Was A Goat Herder -
NOT EXACTLY, he was a privileged, well educated youth, who went on to work with the Kenyan Government.

3.) Father Was A Proud Freedom Fighter -
NOT EXACTLY, he was part of one of the most corrupt and violent governments that Kenya has ever had.

4.) My Family Has Strong Ties To African Freedom -
NOT EXACTLY, your cousin Raila Odinga has create d mass violence in attempting to overturn a legitimate election in 2007, in Kenya. It is the first widespread violence in decades. The current government is pro-American but Odinga wants to overthrow it and establish Muslim Sharia law. Your half-brother, Abongo Obama, is Odinga's follower. You interrupted your New Hampshire campaigning to speak to Odinga on the phone. Check out the following link for verification of that . . . and for more.

Obama's cousin Odinga in Kenya ran for president and tried to get Sharia muslim law in place there. When Odinga lost the elections, his followers have burned Christians' homes and then burned men, women and children alive in a Christian church where they took shelter.. Obama SUPPORTED his cousin before the election process here started. Google Obama and Odinga and see what you get. No one wants to know the truth.

5.) My Grandmother Has Always Been A Christian –
NOT EXACTLY, she does her daily Salat prayers at 5am according to her own interviews. Not to mention, Christianity wouldn't allow her to have been one of 14 wives to one man.

6.) My Name is African Swahili -
NOT EXACTLY, your name is Arabic and 'Baraka' (from which Barack came) means 'blessed' in that language. Hussein is also Arabic and so is Obama. Barack Hussein Obama is not half black. If elected, he would be the first Arab-American President, not the first black President. Barack Hussein Obama is 50% Caucasian from his mother's side and 43.75% Arabic and 6.25% African Negro from his father's side. While Barack Hussein Obama's father was from Kenya, his father's family was mainly Arabs. Barack Hussein Obama's father was only 12.5% African Negro and 87.5% Arab (his father's birth certificate even states he's Arab, not African Negro).

Kristoff from the New York Times a year ago: Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent. In a remark that seemed delightfully uncalculated (it'll give Alabama voters heart attacks), Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as "one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset." This is just one example of what Pamela is talking about when she says "Obama's narrative is being altered, enhanced and manipulated to whitewash troubling facts."

NOT EXACTLY, not one teacher says you could speak the language.

10.) Because I Lived In Indonesia, I Have More Foreign Experience -

NOT EXACTLY, even your own supporters claim to have not seen BOLD action on your part.

27.) I Passed 26 Of My Own Bills In One Year -
NOT EXACTLY, they were not YOUR bills, but rather handed to you, after their creation by a fellow Senator, to assist you in a future bid for higher office.

28.) No One on my campaign contacted Canada about NAFTA -
NOT EXACTLY, the Canadian Government issued the names and a memo of the conversation your campaign had with them.

29.) I Am Tough On Terrorism -
NOT EXACTLY, you missed the Iran Resolution vote on terrorism and your good friend Ali Abunimah supports the destruction of Israel.

30.) I Want All Votes To Count -
NOT EXACTLY, you said let the delegates decide.

31.) I Want Americans To Decide -

2012-02-03T04:19:00.000-08:00

Update on 3/28/11

Here are some of the disturbing facts surrounding Barack Hussein Obama’s ACTUAL BIRTH CERTIFICATE – not rumors, not wild theories – just the FACTS.

FACT #1: Article 2, Section 1, of the Constitution of the United States, SPECIFICALLY states, "No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President..." It's NOT a technicality, or lunacy on the part of our Founding Fathers. It is a specific statement within a document that forms the basis for ALL of our laws and not open to interpretation.

FACT #2: In order to be a "natural born citizen," you must be born in the United States or, if you are born abroad, you CAN (if specific circumstances are met) inherit natural born status from your parents. If he was born abroad, then that's a problem for Barack Hussein Obama because his father was NOT a citizen of the United States and his mother had not lived in the United States the required amount of time after attaining the age of majority when Obama was born - meaning SHE COULD NOT pass her citizenship on to Obama.

FACT #3: If Barack Hussein Obama WAS NOT born in the United States, he IS NOT a "natural born citizen" and if that is the case, Obama is guilty of perpetuating the most massive fraud in the history of the United States.

FACT #4: Barack Hussein Obama has ACTIVELY REFUSED to show his ACTUAL BIRTH CERTIFICATE to the people who elected him. This document could remove all doubt of Obama's status because it would name the hospital and the attending physician at Obama's birth. Under Hawaiian law, only Obama can legally release the document but HE JUST WON'T DO IT. Why not?

FACT #5: Obama has multiple teams of lawyers and has spent an unspecified amount of money (possibly in excess of 2 million dollars) to help him shield the document from the prying eyes of the American people. Why?

FACT #6: Instead of producing an ACTUAL BIRTH CERTIFICATE, Team Obama produced another document – a “Certification of Live Birth” – and said, in effect, “Here’s his Birth Certificate. Now shut up.”

Post from July 26, 2010

I have read several reports of what is going on with people who are trying to find proof that Obama is a natural born citizen. Judges appear to be going after the attorneys on procedural grounds while ignoring the basic questions at hand. Fines against the plaintiffs and their attorneys have been suspiciously dropped when "discovery" has been pushed by those being fined. In other words, judges seem not at all interested in showing what they know or do not know to those bringing complaints against Obama's right to be President. Many feel that the Supreme Court is the only court that could address these ongoing complaints against Obama.

Read about the current complaint at the link that follows . . .

http://www.wnd.com/?pageId=182881
World Net Daily has reported that among the documentation not yet available for Obama includes his kindergarten records, Punahou school records, Occidental College records, Columbia University records, Columbia thesis, Harvard Law School records, Harvard Law Review articles, scholarly articles from the University of Chicago, passport, medical records, files from his years as an Illinois state senator, his Illinois State Bar Association records, any baptism records and his adoption records.

World Net Daily has reported on dozens of legal challenges to Obama's status as a "natural born citizen."

The Constitution, Article 2, Section 1, states:

"No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President."

The right jack is not an attorney. Nevertheless, it does make one wonder about the motives of people who appear to be hiding his records and why they are hiding them. Curious. Was Obama never vetted by Democrats in Illinois and then in Congress?

The Fair Tax, with $20 million in research behind it

Fair Tax Flap:

The Herman Cain 9-9-9 plan. Critics like Bachmann see it as another tax stream for Congress that will never go away and likely to go up and up. Hard to disagree with that reasoning.

A solution: No more tax increases until the “specific tax bill” is put to a vote in a general election every two or four years. Of course, Congress has to agree to abide by this without conditions.

FT FT FT

Fair Tax. Bob Beckel, big time partisan Democrat, favors a flat tax and admitted that he did not know of the Fair Tax. When asked about it, he said: What is that? On Hannity Special from Atlanta. 10/7/11

The Fair Tax must be a very good idea if insiders “in the know” like Beckel are willing to say in public that they have never heard of it. Ditto other Democrat and Republican Senators when asked about the Fair Tax. Democrats in particular do not want to give away their ability to dole out US Taxpayer money for favors and votes, and that is what the Fair Tax would accomplish. The Fair Tax is worth implementing for that reason alone.

FT FT FT

Here is how you disparage the Fair Tax. Form a tax study commission as did Bush 43. Rewrite certain elements of the original Fair Tax. Add in some exemptions and other giveaways. Then determine that the Fair Tax will need to be set at around 34% to make it work, not 23%. At 23% …

• It will not be high enough to cover massive government spending

• Lower income groups will pay less in taxes than they currently pay

• There will be no money for our Legislators to spread around to buy votes and influence

This Fair Tax eye-opener is summarized from a radio conversation on the Neil Boortz radio show on 5/24/11 Boortz Knows.

How The Fair Tax Works:

• Enables workers to keep their entire paychecks
• Enables retirees to keep their entire pensions

• Refunds in advance the tax on purchases of basic necessities
• Allows American products to compete fairly

• Brings transparency and accountability to tax policy
• Ensures Social Security and Medicare funding

• Closes all loopholes and brings fairness to taxation
• Abolishes the IRS

Notes from TheRightJack: Our [trusted?] members of Congress, as a rule, do not like The Fair Tax. It takes away their power to bring home the bacon with which they use to bribe their local electorate. Some members of Congress describe The Fair Tax as an added tax on top of the existing taxes. Wrong! Others just do not have a clue how it works. Those who favor The Fair Tax has said that IF we were starting over and took our current US tax code to Congress for adoption, it would get voted down in a heart beat.

There was no trillion-dollar deficit Obama inherited from Bush, unless you want to count up some of the TARP money and all that. But that's no excuse for what Obama is doing.

The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the presidency. It will be easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to an electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails us. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The republic can survive a Barack Obama. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president.” - - - Author Unknown

I'm not bragging, you understand, but no other state, including Maine, even comes close. When it comes to sending left-wing dingbats to Washington, we're number one. There's no getting around the fact that the last time anyone saw the likes of Barbara Boxer, Dianne Feinstein, and Nancy Pelosi, they were stirring a cauldron when the curtain went up on 'Macbeth.'

"Obama's health care plan will be written by a committee whose head, John Conyers, says he doesn't understand it.

"You and I are told we must choose between a left or right, but I suggest there is no such thing as a left or right. There is only an up or down. Up to man's age-old dream -- the maximum of individual freedom consistent with order -- or down to the ant heap of totalitarianism. Regardless of their sincerity, their humanitarian motives, those who would sacrifice freedom for security have embarked on this downward path.

So what have we learned in 2 Millennia? "The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance." - - - Cicero, 55 BC

Hawaii golf in December 2010, 2011

But who is counting . . .

Flash: No reports in Big Dem Media since Hawaii that Obama has played any golf. Not reporting the news is in itself a form of media bias. =TheRightJack 2/2/12.

90. New golf record for Obama = 28. 30. Now 32 with 10 days to go. [reddogreport.com] 12/27/11

Obama golfing in Hawaii. BHO Media very careful not to report on the number of his golf outings as was done with Bush 43. 12/26/11

17 day vacation in Hawaii begins soon.

Golfing with Obama. 30 times in 2011. 88 times since hired to run the USA. [whitehousedossier.com] 11/25/11

75 rounds of golf in 925 days. The latest count as of 8/31/11

32. Barack Obama, the undocumented one [TUO], has played golf 32 times since he took office, 8 more than his predecessor George W. Bush did in his entire presidency. Bush 43 was mocked by the Left for his fondness for the game. In giving up golf, Bush said “… I think playing golf during a war just sends the wrong signal." [Western Center for Journalism] 1/14/11

39. Number of Obama golf outings as of June 21, 2010. Media not complaining about Obama golf outings as they did with Bush 43 golf outings. 6/21/10

70. TUO golfs for 12th time in 2011 and 70th time in 28 months of his presidency, on Memorial Day [2009 too]. 6/1/11

It is not easy to track Obama Golf as today's media is not publicizing this as they have done with Republican presidents going back to Dwight D. Eisenhower.

Humor: Noah and the Ark, IF Illinois

2012-02-01T06:41:00.000-08:00

What if Noah Tried to Build the Ark in Illinois?
January 8, 2012 by Dan Mitchell

I keep getting requests to reprint this joke. And since we’ve been mocking Illinois in recent days, I’m reprinting the joke with a slight modification.

===============================

... And the Lord spoke to Noah and said:

“In one year, I am going to make it rain and cover the whole earth with water until all flesh is destroyed, but I want you to save the righteous people and two of every kind of living thing on earth. Therefore, I am commanding you to build an Ark.”

In a flash of lightning God delivered the specifications for an Ark. In fear and trembling, Noah took the plans and agreed to build the ark.

Remember,” said the Lord: “You must complete the Ark and bring everything aboard in one year.”

Exactly one year later, fierce storm clouds covered the earth and all the seas of the earth went into a tumult. The Lord saw that Noah was sitting in his front yard weeping

“Noah,” He shouted

“Where is the Ark?”

“Lord, please forgive me,” cried Noah. “I did my best, but there were big problems: First, I had to get a permit for construction, and your plans did not meet the Chicago codes. I had to hire an engineering firm and redraw the plans.

Then I got into a fight with OSHA over whether or not the Ark needed a sprinkler system and approved floatation devices. Then, my neighbor objected, claiming I was violating zoning ordinances by building the Ark in my front yard, so I had to get a variance from the Chicago planning commission. Then, I had problems getting enough wood for the Ark because there was a ban on cutting trees to protect the Spotted Owl…and finally convinced the U. S. Forest Service that I really needed the wood to save the owls. However, the Fish and Wildlife Service won’t let me catch any owls, so, no owls.” The carpenters formed a union and went on strike. I had to negotiate a settlement with the National Labor Relations Board before anyone would pick up a saw or hammer. Now, I have 16 carpenters on the Ark, but still no owls. When I started rounding up the other animals, an animal rights group sued me. They objected to me taking only two of each kind aboard.

Just when I got the suit dismissed, the EPA notified me that I could not complete the Ark without filing an environmental impact statement on your proposed flood. They didn’t take very kindly to the idea that they had no jurisdiction over the conduct of the Creator of the Universe. Then, the Army Corps of Engineers demanded a map of the proposed new flood plain…. I sent them a globe.

Right now, I am trying to resolve a complaint filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission that I am practicing discrimination by not taking godless, unbelieving people aboard. The IRS has seized my assets, claiming that I’m building the Ark in preparation to flee the country and not pay taxes. I just got a notice from the state of Illinois that I owe them some kind of user tax and failed to register the Ark as a “recreational water craft.” And finally, the ACLU got the courts to issue an injunction against further construction of the Ark, saying that since God is flooding the earth, it’s a religious event, and, therefore, UNCONSTITUTIONAL. I really don’t think I can finish the Ark for another five or six years.”

Noah waited…

The sky began to clear, the sun began to shine, and the seas began to calm. A rainbow arched across the sky. Noah looked up hopefully.

“You mean you’re not going to destroy the earth, Lord?”

“No,” He said sadly.”

“I don’t have to. The government already has.”

Election 2012 questions

2012-01-31T14:21:00.000-08:00

Politics, Education and Me Me Me: Questions

Will voters in 2012 pull the lever or tap the screen for “me first” OR “we” as in a financially stable future of the US and The US People.

Will we vote for highertaxes and fines, more unemployment benefits, more entitlement payments, and more Big DemGov jobs.

Will we vote for killing the goose that laid the golden egg or willwe vote for cost cutting, a sustainable economy and more jobs.

Given the “dumbing down”state of the US public education, math in particular, is seems quite likelythat many voters do not know or understand the meaning of percentages. We just do not know or understand the meaning of or consequences of

• 9%unemployment

• nearly 20% real unemployment

• a shrinking job market with 2million jobs lost in the last three years due to a shrinking economy

• not to mentionthe cost of Big Dem Gov handouts, bailouts and grants.

Remember, politicians of allstripes would prefer to have an uneducated and uninformed populace. Dumbingdown the school curriculum and eliminating testing are sneaky ways toaccomplish that end.

Economic facts not taught in school:

As Big Gov grows,unemployment rises.

When Big Gov takes our money in the form oftaxes and fines from US workers and US businesses and gives it away tonon-workers and favored causes, it is exactly like taking water from one end of theswimming pool and pouring it in the other end.

When voters decide to give themselves a sustainable Big Gov largess, then Big Gov controls what everyone says and does ...and there goes freedom.

Freedom and financial equality cannot exist together. We may have either one or the other, but not both.

HE JUST WANTS TO GET RE-ELECTED

There is an old West Virginia hillbilly saying: “You cannot get the water to clear up until you get the pigs out of the creek.”

• If any other of our presidents had doubled the national debt, which had taken more than two centuries to accumulate, in one year, would you have approved

• If any other of our presidents had then proposed to double the debt again within 10 years, would you have approved?

• If any other of our presidents had criticized a state law that he admitted he never even read, would you think that he is just an ignorant hot head?

• If any other of our presidents joined the country of Mexico and sued a state in the United States to force that state to continue to allow illegal immigration, would you question his patriotism and wonder who's side he was on?

• If any other of our presidents had pronounced the Marine Corps like Marine Corpse, would you think him an idiot?

• If any other of our presidents had put 87,000 workers out of work by arbitrarily placing a moratorium on offshore oil drilling on companies that have one of the best safety records of any industry because one foreign company had an accident, would you have agreed?

• If any other of our presidents had used a forged document as the basis of the moratorium that would render 87,000 American workers unemployed would you support him?

• If any other of our presidents had been the first President to need a Teleprompter installed to be able to get through a press conference, would you have laughed and said this is more proof of how inept he is on his own and is really controlled by smarter menbehind the scenes?

• If any other of our presidents had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to take his First Lady to a play in NYC, would you have approved?

• If any other of our presidents had reduced your retirement plan holdings of GM stock by 90% and given the unions a majority stake in GM, would you have approved?

• If any other of our presidents had made a joke at the expense of the Special Olympics, would you have approved?

• If any other of our presidents had given Gordon Brown a set of inexpensive and incorrectly formatted DVDs, when Gordon Brown had given him a thoughtful and historically significant gift, would you have approved?

• If any other of our presidents had given the Queen of England an iPod containing videos of his speeches, would you have thought it a proud moment for America?

• If any other of our presidents had bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia would you have approved?

• If any other of our presidents had visited Austria and made reference to the nonexistent "Austrian language," would you have brushed it off as a minor slip?

• If any other of our presidents had filled his cabinet and circle of advisers with people who cannot seem to keep current in their income taxes, would you have approved?

• If any other of our presidents had stated that there were 57 states in the United States, wouldn't you have had second thoughts about his capabilities?

• If any other of our presidents would have flown all the way to Denmark to make a five minute speech about how the Olympics would benefit him walking out his front door in his home town, would you not have thought he was a self-important, conceited, egotistical jerk.

• If any other of our presidents had been so Spanish illiterate as to refer to "Cinco de Cuatro" in front of the Mexican ambassador when it was the 5th of May (Cinco de Mayo), and continued to flub it when he tried again, wouldn't you have winced in embarrassment?

• If any other of our presidents had burned 9,000 gallons of jet fuel to go plant a single tree on Earth Day, would you have concluded he's a hypocrite?

• If any other of our presidents' administrations had okayed Air Force One flying low over millions of people followed by a jet fighter in downtown Manhattan causing widespread panic, would you have wondered whether they actually get what happened on 9-11?

• If any other of our presidents had failed to send relief aid to flood victims throughout the Midwest with more people killed or made homeless than in New Orleans, would you want it made into a major ongoing political issue with claims of racism and incompetence?

• If any other of our presidents had created the position of 32 Czars who report directly to him, bypassing the House and Senate on much of what is happening in America , would you have ever approved.

• If any other of our presidents had ordered the firing of the CEO of a major corporation, even though he had no constitutional authority to do so, would you have approved?

• So, tell me again, what is it about Obama that makes him so brilliant and impressive?

• Can't think of anything? Don't worry. He's done all this in 34 months – so you don’t have that much time to come up with an answer.

Every statement and action in this post is factual and directly attributable to Barrack Hussein Obama. Every bumble is a matter of record and completely verifiable.

AND NOW, HE ACTUALLY WANTS US TO RE-ELECT HIM. WAKE UP AMERICA, 2012 IS UPON US.

I WONDER HOW MANY OF YOU WILL COPY and FORWARD THIS? I AM DOING MY PART BECAUSE SIMPLY I CANNOT AFFORD TO TAKE A CHANCE ON THIS GUY FOR ANOTHER FOUR YEARS . . .
