With Liberty and Justice for All?

I have heard stories of the poor being penalized in the United States. Stories such as the one here ,outrage the social justice freak in me. However, I read a story today that has taken the cake. While our government hands failing banks trillions of tax payer dollars, while this economy is creating homeless families in numbers not seen since the Great Depression, while jobs are being lost at an explosive rate, and the Fed can’t account for 9.7 trillion dollars of OUR money–while the government is evicting Americans from tent cities forcing them to shelters, New York has decided that charging the homeless rent is a good thing.  That’s right. Taking advantage of homeless people and families who are working and trying to save to get out of shelters are now being charged up to half of their income as rent. This only applies to the poor who are actually trying to make a better situation for themselves by finding and keeping jobs. The people who do not work, of course are not being forced to pay anything. (story link here)
The policy of rent for shelter was enacted in 1997, but never enforced until this month. I guess in a failing economy, when a city does not have the privilege of printing money out of thin air like Washington does, the appropriate course of action to get more money is to squeeze it out of every citizen who can cough it up. Usually this money grabbing scheme is carried out in tax hikes, or police ticketing for speeding at 3 whole miles over the speed limit. Somehow though, the sudden enforcement of this law is particularly disgusting and smacks of tyranny.

Lets get something straight. There are those who are a “soak” on tax payer dollars. Drug addicts who are homeless, those who will not support their children, drunks who can’t hold a buck in their pocket longer than it takes to buy a bottle from the corner liquor store are people who line up for shelter and food every night of the blessed year, and they are not ever turned away or forced to spend a single cent for it. Charging those who are working to get a leg up in an economy that keeps knocking them down, is only forcing them to stay in homeless shelters longer. Then again, this is what the Mafia would consider a “deal”. Protection for dollars. It’s a deal that never ends. It’s the same logic – pay, and you stay. Except the paying families will no longer be able to save for an apartment to get out. The more money they make, the more money government takes. Maybe they should all quit and collect welfare for life, because it seems as if that’s what the government would prefer.

WTF
has our country come to when we shovel billion upon billions upon more billions of dollars on big banks
then force the working homeless to shell out half of their wages to sleep in a cot in a room shared with 20 other people??

Remember the days when us wing nuts told you that the Obama administration would be worse than the Bush era? I’m an equal opportunity basher when it comes to the NO common sense policies that interrupt the common good of all my American fellow citizens. I have no issue beating a dead horse, especially if I think it still contains a wisp of life, a last breath, or postmortem flatulence, I don’t care. (PETA, don’t mail me). All you people who voted for Obama, did so without any record to point to that said he was the man for the job. Not only has he gaffed in ways that would’ve made Bush blush, and would’ve had blood shooting out of the eyes of liberals back in the Bush days of old–his worst gaff yet was appointing a Homeland Security Secretary who thinks that labeling all Americans, including veterans as extremists and potential terrorists is appropriate.

Meet Janet Napolitano.

She is so PC that the government is no longer “allowed” to call Islamic Terrorists, “terrorists”. The correct term under the Obama administration to describe actual terrorists are “man made disasters”. That is of course, unless you’re an American, then you may be labeled a terrorist, and that is my friends, politically correct under the Obama list of common sense protocol. According to the “”Domestic Extremism Lexicon” you are an extremist. YES YOU. I will exclude you of course if you are comatose, a droid, a mannequin, or if you’re effectively brain dead. Otherwise, you will fall into one of the categories below

In my best Red Neck twang, I submit to you by a preponderance of proof provided by PC Janet Napolitano

You Might be an extremist if :

• You listen to or read alternative media sources that portray significant events differently than that of the mass media outlets.

• you are anti-illegal immigration

• you are a Cuban and /or anti Castro ( of cuba? ya know, a communist government?)

• you and your friends are individuals who pursue shared ideological goals (to be fair the rest says—->through tactics of leaderless resistance independent of any larger terrorist organization (can anyone say Bill Ayers? Tony Rezko?)

• you believe in civil disobedience to change laws ( can anyone say Martin Luther King?) or you protest (dang tea bagging protesting rednecks! Gahh!)

• you oppose most federal and state laws, regulations, and authority, particularly firearms laws and regulations.

• you are a  Christian patriot, or are affiliated with  patriot groups, or Constitutionalists

• you’re a Christian who believes that following God is above all and refuse to follow all other government laws that may compromise your faith

• you believe the tax code is the equivalent to theft

Notice two things when you investigate the link to this latest proud display of our tax dollars at work. 1) Your government does not want you to know that they are profiling you. The warning states : It contains information that may be exempt from public release under the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552). It is to be controlled, stored, handled, transmitted, distributed, and disposed of in accordance with DHS policy relating to FOUO information and is not to be released to the public, the media, or other personnel who do not have a valid need-to-know without prior approval of an authorized DHS official. State and local homeland security officials may share this document with authorized security personnel without further approval from DHS. (so much for the Obama promise of transparency)

and notice how I didn’t say “I told you so!!”

Baxter and Swine Flu Vaccine- What You Should Know

• Baxter International is rushing to develop a vaccine for the swine flu “epidemic” according to the Chicago Tribune.  chi-baxter-swine-flu-27-apr27,0,3579388.story

However, while this may seem like  good news on the surface, there is a bit of recent stained credibility that follows Baxter’s reputation and has effectively colored the company as worthless for the public who are in the know. While the United States corporate controlled media sat on this story, it was reported elsewhere in the world from Canada, Austria, the UK  and Japan.

Apparently, in March 2009 Baxter sent  flu vaccine that was “accidentally” contaminated with Avian Bird Flu to 18 different countries .  The contaminated product, a mix of H3N2 seasonal flu viruses and unlabeled H5N1 viruses, was supplied to an Austrian research company. The Austrian firm, Avir Green Hills Biotechnology, then sent portions of it to sub-contractors in the Czech Republic, Slovenia and Germany.

Baxter hasn’t shed much light — at least not publicly — on how the accident happened. Earlier this week Bona called the mistake the result of a combination of “just the process itself, (and) technical and human error in this procedure.”

He said he couldn’t reveal more information because it would give away proprietary information about Baxter’s production process. 8561066.html

Bend US Over– Yes You Can!

I’m inwardly cursing my A** off.  No that’s a lie. I’m sitting here at my desk cursing quietly (lest my 4 yr old hear me) at the total CRAP of the Bush look alike that is now “ruling” Washington– except he wears a mask, and puts on a real good show, not to mention that with a teleprompter he does sort of a have a hypnotic effect on the masses.

Did you think the Patriot Act was a horrendous piece of legislation? Did you get the fact that the Bush administration demanded your liberties surrendered all in the name of security? The rationale-unspoken as it were- was that because “terrorists” hated our freedom, that we were supposed to give up many freedoms so that we would be safer–stupid! Bush said our Constitution was just a God damned piece of paper–endearing him to many patriots of this great nation, I’m sure. Did you buy the nonsense? Were you in agreement with the Bush-Cheney ditto heads who said that if you didn’t agree with a bill with the word “patriot” in it, why, you must not be a patriot at all??  Or were you an American that claims the true definition of a patriot is one that resists government oppression of the people?

Now enter the Obama nation, and it’s own ugly version of constitutional ass wiping. If taxation without representation (bailouts) is not enough, How about mandatory national service-(why, I must be against serving my community and my nation )  Now, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner has asked Congress Tuesday to give the White House unprecedented powers to seize large insurers, investment firms and hedge funds, leaping beyond its present authority to seize only banks.

Yeah, they want to seize whatever business they deem a “risk”. Now, if you take into account the AIG loopholes that were purposely allowed by the administration, then bring on the fake outrage that was meant to make the public think that the Administration had no idea, ( of course not! ) then you add a layer of paranoia that our economy will go belly up unless the government is playing the role of Superman who will save us all, then what you have is a total recipe for the government to take and spend whatever they want, when they want, and all you and I have to do is agree. Stay silent. It’s Obama mimicking Bush tactics all over again, in that we need a savior in the form of a liberty shredding law if we are to survive and thrive! It seems to work. It almost begs the conspiratorial part of my brain (that I have to beat off with a stick these days) that the AIG bonuses were allowed, in order to flame the public fury that screamed for our chosen leader to protect us from big bad businesses as Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner has now  proposed. It was the perfect set up. The perfect storm created by a new administration with a big plan for America.

Does anyone recall the word socialism that made conservatives like Palin and Joe the plumber public enemy # 1, evidenced only by the attack dog mentality of the media? You know, the same media that had a slobbering love affair with a candidate who said there were 57 states? Hypocrisy.
Oh, the television set every day wooed you, and told you how wonderful Barack Obama was. He preached hope and change. Yummy for hope and change!  Like mindless zombies, people, in a celebrity love affair chose him, despite his record as Senator. Some fainted each time he opened his mouth. Then the Bush regime changed hands. Americans voted for the more likable one, not the more credentialed candidate.

Even though I feel like a parent at this moment wanting to sarcastically yell ” I told you so”, I do understand that the resounding approval of Obama was more of a reprimand of Bush. NO MORE BUSH was the mentality of most people. I understand that totally, as it was my mentality too.
The reality is however, in 60 days he’s made history by spending more than any other sitting president, creating more debt beyond your wildest imagination, that will be left for your offspring, and theirs for generations to come.
I could go on with the many Clinton/ Bush masks that Obama puts on as often as I change my underwear, but I won’t. I will leave you with just one more obvious reality. Are you sitting down? The Obama White House is no different than the Bush White House. With unprecedented powers sought (like Bush) he wants to take over any, maybe every, business in this country. The banks were just not enough apparently. Is this Socialism?  No, we just made the leap to Fascism.
If any of you are still in the “Obama Yes We Can” stage of some silly crush for our first bi-racial President, then wake up, get a grip and start acting like Americans who will defend your Constitution, your childrens future, and the future of America!!

Now go ahead, and be the ultimate hypocrite and say that because my head is not buried in my rectal orifice, or his, that I must be a racist, or worse (almost) that I’m just mad because he won.
