Deadbeat Dimocrats

Michael sent me this story.

ATHERTON (KPIX 5) – A community on the Peninsula may take the unprecedented action of slapping a lien against two homeowners who hosted an April fundraiser for President Barack Obama that cost the town $8,000 in security and cleanup costs.

The Town of Atherton has been unable to recoup the money from the Democratic National Committee or Secret Service.

Dimocrats are good at stiffing creditors. Thunder Rodent Thighs was really good at this.

“If the town incurs a cost that rightly should belong to somebody else, we’re going to pursue that,” Atherton Town Manager George Rodericks told KPIX 5.

It’s the only “fair” thing to do. Aren’t Obungler and the Dimocrats all about “fairness”? That’s what they keep saying.

The town sent invoices to the White House, Democratic National Committee, the Secret Service and two people who own the homes where Mr. Obama raised more than $3 million for Democrats. So far, the town has not received a cent.

Deadbeats. Dimocrats are really good at shafting people. What’s that town to do?

Widmer and Rodericks want the homeowners who held the fundraisers to reimburse Atherton for the cost of security, road blocks, traffic control and cleanup.

Or else, Rodericks, said, “We could follow a lien process of some kind, hold a public hearing, invite them to come, process it as a lien against their property and collect it via the property tax.”

Yeah. That’s the ticket. Look for the IRS to come after you if you do. Oblunder and the Dimocrats are good at holding grudges and punishing their enemies.

Quote Of The Day

Ron sent me this one and it ties in well with the quote I posted yesterday..

As democracy is perfected, the office of the President represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day, the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last, and the White House will be occupied by a downright fool and complete narcissistic moron. – H.L. Mencken, The Baltimore Evening Sun, July 26, 1920

Was this guy prescient or what? We have a booger eatin’ moh-ron who is in love with his own voice in the White House. He has no managerial skills. The country is prolly being run by Valerie Jarrett.

In foreign policy we went from Thunder Rodent Thigh’s “reset” button – which didn’t say reset (You would think that someone at the State Department could have found the Russian word for reset. They could have called Condi Rice. She speaks fluent Russian) – to Benghazi to Obungler’s smudged red line in Syria. The Russians have to be laughing at us. Putin knows Oblunder is a pushover. That’s why he has no qualms about giving military assistance to Syria. What’s Obeauzeau gonna do? Give a speech? That’s pretty much all he ever does when he’s not having the IRS harass conservative organizations and having the Justice Department spy on citizens. Holy crap! Even the LSM is starting to notice.

AS I’ve said before, we get the gummint we deserve. The liberals progressives rat bastard commies have taken over education in this country and our gummint schools have turned into nice little socialist indoctrination centers. Same with our universities. They believe in Diversity (All Hail Diversity!) in everything but thought. One of my readers commented that the more education someone has the more likely he is to vote Dimocrat and in proving he has no knowledge of cause an effect said there is no brainwashing in our schools. The fact that the longer a person is in our education system the more likely he is to vote Dimocrat proves my point.

We’re doomed!

No Bikinis?

Today’s WTF? Thanks to Toejam for the link.

Miss World organisers have axed bikinis from this year’s pageant in Indonesia, replacing them with conservative beach sarongs amid mounting protests from hardline Muslim groups.

No bikinis? That’s the best part of the competition.

The 2013 competition is being hosted in the resort island of Bali and the capital, Jakarta, in September.

All contestants will be required to wear Bali’s traditional long sarongs instead of the bikinis that are typically part of the competition, said Adjie Soeratmadjie, one of the local organisers.

He said the London-based Miss World Organisation had agreed to the request out of respect for the traditional customs and values of Indonesia.

Jesus H. Christ! Move the contest!

Most Muslims in Indonesia, the world’s most populous Islamic country, are moderate, but a small extremist fringe has become more vocal in recent years.

Reason number 21013 to hate Islam. What a bunch of soulless assholes!

Today’s Racist Post

It would have been even funnier and even more offensive if it had been a pig talking.   BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Quote Of The Day

From my Pessimist Calendar.

The best argument against democracy is a five minute conversation with the average voter. – Winston Churchill

Exhibit A: Jug Hussein Ears Downgrade.

Exhibit B: It didn’t even take a five minute conversation with one of my friends on election day. I was stunned when he told me he was voting for Obeauzeau because he had kept us from going into a depression. WTF?  Un-freakin’-believable!

Exhibit C:  The only time I listen to Sean Hannity on the radio is when I’m in my car which is usually on one of my road trips.  I’ve heard him send out a staff member to ask people on the street questions like who’s the vice president or name one Supreme Court justice.  The colossal ignorance of the voting public is saddening and that explains the condition of the country.   Jay Leno does sumpin’ similar.  It’s funny and saddening at the same time

The approval rating of Congress is at an all time low, but we keep sending the same bozo’s back to represent us.  Informed voters are vastly outnumbered by uninformed voters.  We get the gummint we deserve.

Our Constitution is now looked on as a “living” document which is liberal progressive rat bastard commie speak for “Ignore it.”  It’s an impediment to the socialist welfare state that the Obamessiah and his minions want to impose on us and they have a compliant Supreme Court which just ruled last summer that the gummint can force us to buy a product. Thanks Chief Justice Roberts, you asshole!

The president and congresscritters take an oath to protect and defend the Constitution and then proceed merrily on their way to passing laws that are unconstitutional, like Johnny “Maverick”  McRINO and his assault on the First Amendment with his campaign finance “reform” law.  And now we have liberal progressive rat bastard commie congresscritters and our halfrican president going after the Second Amendment.

Remember how these same assholes ranted and raved about Chimpy McHalliburton Bushitler shredding the Constitution? Oblunder is using it for toilet paper. He has expanded all the programs that his minions decried as unconstitutional when the eee-vil Bush was in office. FISA wiretaps? Up. Now we find that his consigliere, Eric Holder not only went after a Fox News reporter’s e-mail – which was OK with the LSM since they are the propaganda arm of the Dimocrat Party and Fox is the enemy – but also targeted AP emails. Now they’re pissed, prolly not for long though.

Yannow what I would like to see in this country is a citizenship test.  Before anyone can vote or run for public office, one would first have to take a test on the Constitution.  Failure would mean that one could not vote or run for office.  The same would go for political appointees.    If you’re gonna shred the Constitution you would at least have to know what is in the document that you want to destroy.

I’m dreaming.

 

 

 

 

 

Toll Booth

I’ve been advocating this idea for a long time.

Not only are the Chinese cashing in on the oil we helped bring back on-line to the global economy, but we are single-handedly protecting it.

The U.S. Fifth Fleet (based in Bahrain) specifically protects oil tankers moving through the Strait of Hormuz.

The Strait of Hormuz is a narrow opening at the base of the Persian Gulf only about 24 miles wide. That’s less than the distance between the White House and Dulles International Airport.

The shipping lane is only about two miles wide.

It is bordered on one side by Oman and on the other by Iran.

According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, some 17 million barrels of oil pass through the Strait of Hormuz every day.

According to National Geographic, 77 percent of that oil goes to Asia, eight percent to Europe, three percent to Africa and other Middle Eastern destinations and only about 12 percent comes to the U.S.

Yet we pay 100 percent of the cost of protecting that oil.

Yep! We are safeguarding the oil supplies for China and for the rest of the world and we are bearing all of the cost. That also includes the money we spent to oust Saddam Hussein.

I am not suggesting we pull up stakes (or anchors) and leave ships passing through the Strait to their own devices – or the Iranian navy, but Professor Roger Stern, of University of Tulsa National Energy Policy Institute has estimated that from 1975 to 2010 the U.S. had spent $8 trillion protecting that oil.

That’s a little over a quarter of a trillion dollars a year to make sure the Chinese and the Europeans’ oil travels safely to their home ports.

We need the two million barrels of oil we get from Persian Gulf shipments because even with domestic oil production on the rise, we still use more oil (mostly for transportation) than we produce.

No thanks to Obungler and the rest of the Dimocrat Party which will not let us drill in ANWR, off the coast of the Gulf of Mexico, and on federal lands. Think of how much more oil we could produce. Even so, due to the shale oil boom we may be meeting all of our needs with domestic oil production by 2020.

Shutting down the Fifth Fleet headquarters in the Gulf is not an option. But, getting the countries that are the beneficiaries of our Navy’s protection should be.

A virtual toll booth for ships passing through the Straits of Hormuz to help defray the costs of protecting them should be part of a plan to reduce the U.S. national debt.

Exactly. The rest of the world should be paying us to keep the Straits of Hormuz open. I figger $5 a barrel should go a long way towards compensating us for keeping the Straits open. Every tanker pays or we don’t let it through. We could shut things down a lot easier than keeping the Straits open.

It’s the fair thing to do.

Telling It Like It Is

Many readers have sent me a video of this lady telling it like it is. I like this lady!

The majority of the politicians in Congress, from both parties, are in violation of their oath of office.  Certainly Obungler is in violation of his oath of office.  Add to that almost all of the Dimocrats.  Wait a minute!  Is there even one Dimocrat who supports the Constitution?  Off the top of my head I cannot think of one.  And there are plenty of Republicans that I can add to that.  Certainly Johnny “Maverick” McRINO tops the list with his unconstitutional McRINO-Feingold campaign finance “reform” law.

To steal from another blogger, tar, feathers, some assembly required.  We have stood idly by and watched venal politicians strip us of our rights.  What has happened to my beloved country?

We’re doomed!

Pensacola Bumper Sticker

George sent me this Pensacola Bumper sticker.gaf1

Obummer thinks nothing of hopping on Air Force One and traveling all over the country and all over the world, and look how much money they blow when he and Moochells go on their lavish vacations.  Often they take two planes.  After all, it’s not their money.
