 Dear American liberals, leftists, social progressives, socialists, Marxists and Obama supporters,

 

We’ve stuck together since the late 1950s, but the whole of this latest election process has made me realize that I want a divorce. I know that we tolerated each other for many years for the sake of future generations, but sadly this relationship has run its course. Our two ideological sides of America cannot and just will not ever agree on what’s right. So let’s just end it right now while we can do it on friendly terms. We can smile, shake hands, chalk it up to irreconcilable differences and each go our own way.

So here’s a model separation agreement.

Our two groups can equitably divide up the country by land mass, each taking a portion. That’s going to be the difficult part, but I’m sure our two sides can come to a friendly agreement. After that, it should be relatively easy. Our respective representatives can effortlessly divide other assets since both sides have such distinct and disparate taste. We don’t like redistributive taxes so you can have those. You are welcome to the liberal judges and the ACLU. And since you hate guns and you hate war, we’ll take the firearms, the cops, the NRA and the military. You can keep Oprah, Michael Moore and Rosie O’Donnell. But you are going to be responsible for finding a biodiesel vehicle big enough to haul them around.

We’ll keep the capitalism, the greedy corporations, the pharmaceutical companies; we will keep Wal-Mart and Wall Street. You can have the homeless, the homeboys, the hippies and illegal aliens. We will keep the hot Alaskan hockey moms, the greedy CEOS and all of the rednecks. We’ll keep the Bibles and we’ll let you have NBC and Hollywood.

You can be nice to Iran and Palestine and we’ll retain the right to invade and hammer anybody that threatens us. You can have the peaceniks and the war protesters. When our allies or our way of life are under assault, we will provide them with security. You won’t have to worry about it. We will keep our Judeo-Christian values. You are welcome to Islam, Scientology, Humanism and Shirley Maclaine. You can also have the UN, but we will no longer pay the bill.

We will keep the SUVs, the pickup trucks and the oversize luxury cars. You can have the compacts, the subcompacts and every Subaru station wagon you can find. You can give everybody healthcare, if you can find any practicing doctors. We will continue to believe that healthcare is a privilege and not a right. We will keep “The Battle Hymn of the Republic” and the national anthem, and I am sure you will be happy to substitute in their place “Imagine.” I’d like to teach the world to sing “Kumbaya” or “We are the world.” We will practice trickle-down economics and you can give trickle-up poverty your best shot. And since it so offends you, we will keep our history, our name and our flag.

Would you agree to this? If so, please pass it along other like-minded liberal and conservative patriots. And if you do not agree, just hit delete. In the friendly spirit of parting, I’ll bet you ANWAR which one of us will need whose help in about 15 years.

Sincerely,

John J Wall

So a guy did a study among college students to find out what music they listen to, and then matched that music to their SAT scores.

Not surprisingly, Lil Wayne fans scored the lowest SAT score.

By now we have all heard of the fraud perpetrated by Bernie Madoff. After a successful career he started his own firm, which we now know was just a front for a massive Ponzai scheme. You see, Bernie raised money from people to payback former investors. So he had to keep raising more and more money from one group of people to hand it to another group. Eventually this scheme collapsed, as they always do.

Now we hear of another Billionaire, Allen Stanford, perpetrating another huge ponzai scheme. Just like Madoff, Stanford raised money from new investors to pay previous investors.

Does this sound familiar to you? It should, and for one key reason - this financial fraud that will undoubtedly result in prison for these two men is fundamentally identical to the US Tax System. Think about it. They took money from one group of people to give money to another group. And when the money ran out, they were exposed and their systems failed. Robbing with the right hand to give a handout with the left hand is exactly what Obama and the Liberals envision for the US.

We have had a “progressive tax” system in the US for a long time. The top 1% of wage earners pay 34% of all taxes. The top 10% pay  66% of all taxes, and the top 50% basically pay for it all - a whopping 97% of all taxes. This means that a solid HALF of the people who WORK (this doesn’t count the unemployed and unemployable) pay nothing in federal income tax.

So the way the system works is simple, take money from one group of people to give money to another group. The US tax system is especially insipid and unjust because they take the money from a powerless minority. When you rob from 1% of the population to get 34% of your income, what is that 1% going to do about it? Vote against you? That doesn’t sound very threatening when you can use the money from that 1% to buy the votes of 50% of the population. Oh, but Obama wants to cut the deficit. Yea, right. He has no plan to do that and the numbers speak for themselves.

Obama and Pelosi will never admit it, but they are no better than Madoff, Stanford, or any other scam artist. They stand up on their pedestals and decry the fraud and scheming of these people, but they create laws so they can get away with it. Liberal politicians are common crooks. Thieves. No different from someone who robs at gunpoint to line their own pockets. But since they are the Aristocracy put into power via Manifest Destiny, they feel like they have moral authority over us. They rob, and steal and deny freedom, liberty, and justice from a powerless minority to purchase support from the majority. It is the opposite of justice. It is the antithesis of liberty.

It is thievery; perpetrated by the worst kind of criminal - the kind that feels like they have a moral authority to commit their crime against liberty, freedom, and justice. Tyrannical rules such as these should be criticized and called out for what they are. They are even worse than Madoff and Stanford because they take your money by force. Nobody was forced to give their life savings to Madoff, but if you don’t pay your taxes you are going to prison. Period.

So spare us your moral superiority complex, Pelosi, Obama, and all the rest of you liberals. You are no better than the con artists and schemers that you decry from your pulpit.  In fact, you are worse.

This article in the Boston Globe just disgusted me. America is struggling because we are a nation full of lazy, worthless goons like this.

A few days after David Adler’s wife decided to leave her law firm in December, he was laid off from his job designing software at Brightcove.

It was shocking. And scary.

Until it wasn’t. Adler has quickly learned to appreciate some aspects of his unexpected unemployment.

The 42-year-old spends his days doting on his 6-month-old daughter, visiting museums with his family, and preparing for a possible exhibit of his photos at a local coffee shop in Dedham. Living off savings, unemployment, and severance packages, Adler knows he has to get a job eventually and has started the search. But for now, he’s cherishing every moment.

Get a job, lazy bum.

Cars that nobody wants, unsustainable labor costs…. Detroit is doomed and it is downright foolish for the taxpayers to keep it alive. Today we heard that the Unions are talking with GM again after closing down discussions over the weekend. The Unions are a joke. The very fact that we let any group collude to fix wages is absolute insanity, but we do. The US auto companies have had no choice but to cave to the extortion tactics of the Unions for the past 50 years, and they have been suffering ever since. Nobody in their right mind would suggest that the US auto makers are on par with the Imports, and the Unions are largely the reason why. Bailing them out now is just a band aid on a severed artery. Without finding workers that are willing to work for the actual value of unskilled labor, say $10 an hour, the US auto makers have no chance. They also need to invest heavily in automation - something the Unions have prevented for decades.

Unions are the kryptonite to productivity and efficiency, and that is a FACT. Nothing would make me happier than to see Detroit and all it’s Unions flushed down the crapper. Illiterate, uneducated auto workers earning $100k+ per year….. sickening.

So why let Detroit fail, but bail out the banks? The reason is simple - we don’t need American cars, but we need the American banking system. Banks keep EVERY buisiness afloat. They keep the entire economy afloat. Banks need bailed out and, as much as I hate to admit it, banks should probably be Nationalized. Or at the very least, much more seriously regulated.

Even fastidious Conservatives like me understand that certain things need to be managed by the Government. Things like the Military, police, fire departments and yes, Banks, are probably best managed as a public good.

However, unlike all those other public goods I mentioned, we need competition in the banking industry. Therefore the answer is probably much more highly-controlled Government oversight. We all agree that banks cannot act without any rules, because when they do we see people acting only for their own best interests and that is what got us here to begin with. Since we all rely on the banks for the very fundamental stability of the government we need to be able to have confidence in them. And they cannot act with such a high level of risk as they did over the last decade.

So let Detroit fall straight into the pot, but save the banks. But save them with a whole lot of strings attached. No more 25 yr old MBAs with 3 months of work experience sitting on Wall Street earning $2 Million a year to take stupid bets. Regulate the banks and flip off Detroit.

No surprises here. The “octuplets mom” from California that has been plastered all over the news lately is a government dependent. She didn’t pay for her child births (the taxpayers of California get that priveledge) and she doesn’t think that the Food Stamps she receives are welfare. Oh, she also doesn’t have a job and has over $50k in student loans.

I am going out on a limb here and guess she voted for Obama. Oh, and based on the picture below, it seems as though she can afford plastic surgery and lip injections. Gross.

 Nadya Suleman has 14 children, including newborn octuplets. She has no job, no income and owes $50,000 in student loans.

But Suleman faces what are likely to be millions of dollars in medical bills alone, and it’s increasingly likely that taxpayers will foot many of those bills.

Her family is eligible for large sums of public assistance money. Even before she gave birth to the octuplets Jan. 26, Suleman was receiving $490 in monthly food stamps, and three of her children were receiving federal supplemental security income because they are disabled.

If there is anyone out there not 100% convinced that obesity is the most preventable dangerous health condition, well, my guess is you are probably fat. Here is another study from the “no duh” file:

Researchers at Newcastle University found that babies born to obese mothers were more likely to suffer from a range of abnormalities.

They were more than twice as likely to be born with spina bifida, in which the spinal cord is incomplete, causing disability,

They were also 30 per cent more likely to have heart defects and 20 per cent more likely to be born with a cleft palate, the review of 39 separate scientific studies, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, shows.
