Cash For Clunkers is a Clunker.

Well, I called it weeks ago. The "Cash For Clunkers" program spurred sales of new vehicles, just not the vehicles our dictator and his union handlers expected. But, how could any semi-intelligent person not see what would happen. I'll run it down for you. I know, I know, you're one of the semi-intelligent ones as I am but there might be some of the "Blinded-by-the-obama-glow" folks reading this that always need the obvious explained.

Fallacy #1. The government can run a program involving money or services and not have it work as planned.
Truth #1. US Post Office, Social Security, Medicare, VA Hospitals, Amtrack, just to name a few. What do these all have in common? All are run by the government and all operate in the red by billions of dollars. None of them make a profit and is subsidised by you the tax payer.

Fallacy #2. People will trade-in their clunkers, buy a new American car and the government/union owed (tax payer owned, union controlled) auto manufactures will be saved.
Truth #2. Let me ask, why were the American auto makers were going to go out of business without a bail-out? Because they build "SHITY" cars that cost too much. Now comes along a $4500 "gift" to buy a new car. What are people going to buy? Right, a car not made by lazy, over paid, corrupt unions. Below is a list of vehicles purchased in the program, notice any thing.
Here's the link to this information:

Top 10 New Vehicles Purchased
Toyota Corolla
Honda Civic
Toyota Camry
Ford Focus FWD
Hyundai Elantra
Nissan Versa
Toyota Prius
Honda Accord
Honda Fit
Ford Escape FWD

And here is a list of the vehicals (clunkers) traded in:

Top 10 Trade-in Vehicles
Ford Explorer 4WD
Ford F150 Pickup 2WD
Jeep Grand Cherokee 4WD
Ford Explorer 2WD
Dodge Caravan/Grand Caravan 2WD
Jeep Cherokee 4WD
Chevrolet Blazer 4WD
Chevrolet C1500 Pickup 2WD
Ford F150 Pickup 4WD
Ford Windstar FWD Van

Do you see what I knew would happen? People traded-in their American union made "clunkers" and are buying higher quality, better value Japaneses built vehicles. The funny thing is most, if not all of those foreign manufacturer autos, are made in the United States. And, just like the Fords that are in the "purchased" list, none of them received government (tax-payer) bail-outs.

Fallacy #3. This government run program will run smoothly and the auto dealers will have no problem receiving the "Clunker Cash."
Truth #3. Just like the Post Office. LOL. The web site used to submit the forms crashed. The 13 page forms were often rejected for no reason. There are dealerships that submitted over a hundred requests and only received a few payments.

Scott Lambert, vice president of the Minnesota Auto Dealers Association, said he was "astounded" to learn at a meeting Tuesday representing about 150 Minnesota dealers that not one has had a deal approved.

"We had dealers representing 1,500 to 2,000 transactions," he said. "We asked how many had a deal approved yet, and not one hand went up."

Fallacy #4. This government will freely "give" you $4500 for your clunker.
Truth #4.Yeah right! Guess what little surprise you'll be getting when you file your tax return next April. Yep, you get to pay taxes on that "free" $4500 as earned income.
So you see, this is just another "big-government" "big-screw-up" because the morons in Washington insist on meddling in the economy. The best line I've heard is, "If the government is powerful enough to get us out of a recession, why isn't it powerful enough to help us avoid a recession."

Ronald Reagan puts it best,

"Government isn't the answer to the problem, government is the problem."

"Government does not solve problems; it subsidizes them."

Fidel Supports Obama. No Supprise There.

The latest sound coming out of our favorite dictator, (no, the one to the south not the one in Washington), is a rant about the "right-wing" Obama haters preventing Obama from implementing his "positive" changes because he's black. Such as turning the United States into a dictatorial-communist nation.

Castro said Obama had inherited many problems from his predecessor, George W. Bush, and was trying to resolve them. But the "powerful extreme right won't be happy with anything that diminishes their prerogatives in the slightest way."

Castro was also heard to say,

"Kill them all."
"Let them rot in prison and then kill them all."
"I don't care if he is my second in command, kill him and his family."
"Let the Russians put their missiles here so we can kill all the Americans with them."
"Che, my life long friend, go ahead and kill them all."
"Raul, kill Che."
"Raul, find me a roll of toilet paper, and ah, um, oh yeah, kill them all."

Left Wing Double Standards.

The blind hatred and double standard that exists toward anything that doesn’t originate from Democrat Party members is ludicrous. Take as an example the demonizing of President Bush for his commuting of Scooter Libby’s prison sentence. Although, Mr. Libby, his former chief of staff convicted of obstruction of justice in the federal probe of the leak of CIA operative Valerie Plame's identity after her husband, former ambassador Joe Wilson publicly criticized the Bush administration for playing fast and loose with intelligence backing the invasion of Iraq, was not pardoned and still had to pay the $250,000 fine. Now, how many Democrats complained when their “savior,” President Clinton, issued full pardons to 367 people? These pardons were for people convicted of drug dealing, car theft, bank robbery, illegal firearm sales, bribery, embezzlement and perjury.

Another example of this double standard is the firing of U.S. attorneys. President Bush fired four because of poor job performance and the Democrats act as if this is an impeachable offence. But no one even batted an eyelash when President Clinton fired all 96 U.S. attorneys shortly after entering office.

The Democrats also like to call Republicans racists. As an example of Republican racism, whenever Republicans vote for lower taxes the Democrats accuse the Republicans of being racists because according to Democrats, “Tax breaks favor the rich not the poor.” The poor being made up of minorities. What the Democrats don’t mention is that Southern Democrats, including then Senator Al Gore Sr., voted against the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and that former KKK Klansman Democrat Sen. Robert Byrd, who joined the KKK in 1942, was elected “Exalted Cyclops” and held the title of “Kleagle” (recruiter), tried to block the bill by personally filibustering for 14 hours. He also voted against the Voting Rights Act of 1965 that outlawed discriminatory voting practices used to deny or abridge the right of any citizen of the United States to vote on account of race or color. You decide for yourself, would you rather support a political party who’s members cuts taxes or one that is comprised of KKK recruits of cross burning lynch mobs? By the way, Senator Exalted Cyclops’s hero was segregationist Mississippi Democrat Senator Theodore Bilbo. Senator Theo was also a member of the KKK, wow, what a surprise. Bilbo was outspoken in his belief that blacks should not be allowed to vote anywhere and was a prominent participant in the lengthy filibuster of the anti-lynching bill before the Senate in 1938. He stated,

“If you succeed in the passage of this bill, you will open the floodgates of hell in the South. Raping, mobbing, lynching, race riots, and crime will be increased a thousandfold; and upon your garments and the garments of those who are responsible for the passage of the measure will be the blood of the raped and outraged daughters of Dixie, as well as the blood of the perpetrators of these crimes that the red-blooded Anglo-Saxon White Southern men will not tolerate.” (Theodore G. Bilbo and the Decline of Public Racism, 1938-1947" by Robert L. Fleegler, Spring 2006, The Journal of Mississippi History)

Do I need to say more?

A more recent example of the insidious hatred toward any Republican action is the war in Iraq. President Bush had the blessing from the U.S. Congress including all the major Democrats who later want to surrender and recall out troups. He also had the okay from the United Nations and the cooperation of several nations. But when President Clinton decided to bomb a former ally, Kosovo, without United Nations approval that was fine and dandy with the lefties. Although, he did have the support of the German Luftwaffe who where more then happy to goose-step back into Kosovo and finish off any Serbians they missed in World War II.

The Democrats loved it when President Clinton bombed bridges, hospitals, schools, civilian factories and other non-military targets. Where were the peace marches then?

If a civilian target was bombed in Iraq the Democrats want to Court Marshal everyone involved. But where was the uproar when President Clinton used Tomahawk cruise missiles to destroy terrorist targets in Afghanistan. Targets like an aspirin factory and several civilian neighborhoods. The Democrats couldn’t set a date too soon for a complete withdraw of troops from Iraq, but it’s been 10 years and we are still sending troops to Kosovo. Republican wars baaaaaaad, Democrat wars goooood.

Now we have the example being set concerning Afghanistan. As our troops are exiting Iraq, per the demands of the Democrats, they are entering Afghanistan and by the end of the year should number a round 68,000, yet there hasn’t been one peace march protesting that troop buildup. Why not? The Democrats declared the Iraq war a “quagmire” almost from the first day yet the war in Afghanistan with its vague objectives could become the mother-of-all-quagmires. Republican quagmires baaaaaaad, Democrat quagmires gooooooood.

The “Democrats can do no wrong” attitude is similar to Marxism’s “The end justifies the means.”

Here’s a few choice quotes:

“If Saddam rejects peace and we have to use force, our purpose is clear. We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction program.”

� President Clinton, Feb. 17, 1998

“We urge you to take necessary actions (including air and missile strikes on suspect Iraqi sites) to respond effectively to the threat posed by Iraq’s refusal to end its weapons of mass destruction programs.”

� Letter to President Clinton, signed by Sens. Tom Daschle, John Kerry, Dianne Feinstein and Joe Lieberman, Oct. 9, 1998

“We know that he has secret supplies of biological and chemical weapons throughout his country.”

� Al Gore, Sep. 23, 2002

“We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is seeking and developing weapons of mass destruction.”

� Sen. Ted Kennedy, Sep. 27, 2002

“If left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will develop nuclear weapons.”

� Sen. Hillary Clinton, Oct. 10, 2002

Time Magazine Sure Knows How to Pick Them

Here's a collage of Time Magazine covers over the years. Do you see a theme?

Another Government Run Project

Here's a picture I took of a government run construction project. I'm correct in thinking this is just another example of a miss managed government program. If the government can't properly supervise a small project as the one in the photo, I don't think they can properly supervise a project such as a Universal Health Care program. Hell, look at what they've done to Social Security.

More unhappy campers speaking their mind and being punished for it.

Here's another great example of an upside down society. Watch as "Union Thugs" shove law-abiding citizens out of a "Health Care Town Meeting." I guess these types of citizens, citizens with a different opinion, will be the first to occupy the camps manned by the Army's Internment/Relocation Specialists. At 52 seconds into the video, notice the black gun holster in the right side of the picture. Now, why would a union member be wearing a firearm? Weren't chosen members of the "Capone Union" in Chicago allowed to carry firearms also?

First Occupants of the Obama Internment/Relocation Camps?

I guess these types of citizens, citizens with a different opinion, will be the first to occupy the camps manned by the Army's Internment/Relocation Specialists.

New Army Jobs

Well, I knew it would happen, in other words, I was correct. Check out the picture below of a new great and exciting Army position.

"Internment/Resettlement (I/R) Specialists in the Army are primarily responsible for day-to-day operations in a military confinement/correctional facility or detention/internment facility. I/R Specialists provide rehabilitative, health, welfare, and security to U.S. military prisoners within a confinement or correctional facility; conduct inspections; prepare written reports; and coordinate activities of prisoners/internees and staff personnel.

Didn't Uncle Joe Stalin open thousands of job positions with the same job description?

Here's a list of labor union contributions in the 2008 election. If you think the current administration's "stimulus package" benefits the unions you would be correct, as I am correct, and this list explains it.

Why is there no action for Tort reform to help fix our health care systems? Well, below is a chart that explains it. I'm correct in thinking that the Democrats know better than to bite the hand that bribes, er, feeds them. Click on the images for a larger view.

Now the Democrats are attacking themselves.

Bill To The Rescue

Well, I was correct when I saw it coming. Bill Clinton flew in and rescued the two illegal immigrant U.S. journalists being held in North Korea. I call them “illegal Immigrants” because that’s what they are. They entered North Korea illegally, and were being punished for that crime. But these weren’t just any journalists, these two worked for Al Gore, inventor of the internet, savior of the planet, and all around nice guy. Just ask him, he’ll tell you.

Bill and Kim “The Little Dictator” Jong-il met for several hours to agree on the release of the Ms. Ling and Ms. Lee. I’m lucky enough to have the transcripts of their meeting.

Kim: Biwl, what a supplies. You look good.
Bill: Kim, you little shit, look like crap.
Kim: Ha, ha, ha. Biwl, you stiwl ta jokester. How did you wike ta in-woom service wast night?
Bill: Were they from you? The young one was hot but the old one was kind of scary. How did you know Hilary wasn’t with me? You could have caused trouble for me.
Kim: I didn’t know, the owed toothress one ras fer her.
Bill: Oh, what a shame. I enjoyed the old one the most. She didn’t scream once no matter what I did.
Kim: Yeah, mom is no comprainer. Hey, did you thee our missire raunthes?
Bill: Sure did. The missile technology I sold you looks like it worked.
Kim: And you should see our ulanium enwithment pwogwam.

Here's a warm welcome for Sen. Turncoat Spector.
