Yesterday I had THIS to say about President Obama (courtesy of Grokster Skip Murphy provoking me). I condemned myself, saying it was an “intemperate outburst.” But on second thought….
Has Obama lost touch with reality?
Has President Obama lost touch with reality? Even for a consummate liar, President Obama’s statement that Obamacare (Affordable Care Act) was “passed by a strong majority of a democratically elected Congress” is stunning.
Obamacare was so unpopular that deals (the Louisiana Purchase, the Cornhusker Kickback, etc) were required to get enough Democrat senator support for passage.
Holy Thursday Batman!

Smart Girl Politics Action: “They don’t speak for us”
Smart Girl Politics Action launches “They Don’t Speak for Us” asking women to put the conversation back on real issues important to women. Women are forced everyday to make sacrifices and its time that we put pressure on Congress and this Administration to stop playing games and get back to work for the American people. … Read more
Union Stormtroopers Training for Mob Rule?
From today’s Washington Times: “Welcome to Occupy Spring. The Occupy Movement has become more sophisticated. Its 40 co-sponsors now include big names like the United Auto Workers, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, and Moveon.org. When The 99% Spring was announced in February, organizers vowed to train 100,000 people. It looks like they’ll easily make that goal … Read more
A Short Message From President Obama
I know. You’re tired of hearing messages from President Obama. But this is important. In fact, it may be the last message you will ever need to hear, because it sums up not just his entire Presidency but every talking point of the modern Democrat party. [jwplayer mediaid=”20729″]
Skip Murphy, the Free State Project, and President Obama. Well damn….
Skip Murphy just asked me this: “Well, it seems that Obama is coming out swinging against the Supremes. Blogosphere is all atwitter about it. Mr. Lawyer, Tim – what’s your take on his baiting the Supremes to declare it unconsitutional?”
Dammit. I foolishly rose to the bait. Here’s what I said in response:
GrokTV Special Interview: Pam Tucker-RNC Committeewoman Candidate. Question 10 – TEA Party and 9/12 Project?
Next to last question and again to the grassroots organization. As with the other interviews, the idea is to get a sense of what people in leadership within the NH GOP (as she is the Deputy Speaker) are thinking about the Liberty and Freedom groups that have a stand off view of the NH GOP. Can and will these pitches be believed – and should the L & F groups once again think there is a place for them other than as shock troops:
Your message to the TEA Party and 9/12 Project members?

Federal Government – Sure, they’re good stewards of taxpayer monies….#FAIL
The question we ask today is not whether our government is too big or too small, but whether it works — whether it helps families find jobs at a decent wage, care they can afford, a retirement that is dignified.”
– President Barack Obama, Inauguration, 1/20/09
In October of 2010, The U.S. Government Services Administration spent over $835,000 on a four-day “training” conference for 300 GSA employees…held at a luxury hotel outside Las Vegas.
This was in a post from The Corner that was in response to the same news:
Howdy–
Shaheen Tweets – The Return of Warren Buffett’s Secretary
Senator Shaheen must be following orders, why else resurrect this left wing meme? “Buffet pays effective tax rate of 11% Avg is 13.5% He’s paying lower rate than his own secretary.” (Just when Obama is pushing the Buffett rule again. Hmmmm.)
So here’s my problem. When did “secretary” stop being one of those sexist, politically incorrect words we were forbidden to use? Isn’t ‘secretary’ demeaning to women. Oh, wait, not when it makes the newest pawn in your Obamnomics Class Warfare Chess Set seem like a dowdy single mother instead of a 1%er who probably gets great bonuses and awesome Christmas presents from the Billionaire boss. (Chess set pieces delivered every four to six weeks, only 670 billion plus shipping and handling for each.)
OK, that’s not really the problem. I want to know when Warrent Buffett’s ‘Secretary’ stopped paying 35.8%?
Richard de Seve – gee, there’s more! Student reviews…..and he’s a Truther???
OK, given how much GraniteGrok has been blogging about Richard de Seve and his political activities on the taxpayer dime, it was finally logical to Google him and see “have we been able to get our investigation out there?”. The answer is yes: the two highest rated search items are about his LinkIn profile – and then GraniteGrok’s posts start showing up immediately thereafter with no small smattering of other sites reposting our stories. But I found two other totally unrelated items about Mr. de Seve that were unexpected – Koofers.com (a student-rating-professor site) and a Letter that Mr. de Seve wrote back in 2006 at (where else??) the Concord Monitor (I have screen scraped the Letter if need be, given it’s content.). First, Koofers:
Only two students have rated him as a Law Professor; they aren’t impressed:
Arrogant, pompous, driven by ideology, more agenda – how could I be surprised? But that ain’t the worst of it! He decided to share his thoughts about 9/11 with us (emphasis mine):
I voted Democrat because…
Just received these via email: worth a chuckle! 1. I voted Democrat because I believe oil companies’ profits of 4% on a gallon of gas are obscene, but the government taxing the same gallon of gas at 43% isn’t. 2. I voted Democrat because I believe the government will do a better job of spending … Read more
Blue collar Reality shows – paragons of capitalism. Listen to them over our President.
Anti-Collective, Anti-“we’re better together”, Anti-“you succeed only when we all succeed” (and all that other crapola) rant.
So Bill ayers wakes up, wishes to blow up capitalism, fails, goes to bed and then does it again the next day. I guess I’m complicit in his scheme – at least in part. Like Bill here, I am one of those that is helping to collapse part of the capitalist scheme – but only the part I don’t care for. I hardly evah watch the “old” networks – ABC, CBS, or NBC and it is showing in their downward ratings. Instead, its the reality programs. No, nothing like the Kardashians or the fashion shows. Instead, it’s the logging shows, the crabbing shows, trucking, fishing, gold mining and the like.
You know, the ones that actually love capitalism. They realize – no work, no pay. If they are sitting around, no money is getting into their pockets. Each one has to work on their own or in voluntary teams, to get the job done. They aren’t factory or ofice jobs where the pay is by the hour or the bi-weekly salary check. There’s no living off someone else’s sweat – it’s their sweat that determines success or failure. You have to salute the inventor shows, the Shark Tank shows where people keep after their dreams, hoping and praying that their time, talent, and hard work AND THEIR WILLINGNESS TO DELAY INSTANT GRATIFICATION will finally pay off.
Top 25 Political Mom’s – Vote By April 4th
Not sure who or why there are any Democrat Mom’s on this list. I figured they were like Unicorns or perhaps some extinct species we hear about but never see. But that’s hardly the point of the voting. The point is to acknowledge moms who have invested themselves in the political debate. Women with children … Read more
Am betting that the Teachers Unions ain’t liking this all that much!
From California: …The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected a legal challenge filed against Proposition 209, the 1996 initiative approved by California voters, which argued that the law discriminates against minority students in admissions to California universities. The three-judge panel said that the court was bound by a 1997 9th Circuit ruling that upheld … Read more
GSA, Clowns, Mindreaders and Sushi
“I used to look down on the world for being corrupt, but now I adore it for the utter magnificence of that corruption.” —Richard J. Needham
You cannot make this stuff up. The U.S. Office of Inspector General Released a 16-page report detailing the gross abuse and excesses in the use of taxpayer monies of the Obama Administration GSA Officials. Nothing says Hackarama like an expensive opulent junket like this. The report was released yesterday by the OIG.

The Left’s War On Women cont…
With the delicate, caring, touch that prominent Democrat donors are known for, Alec Baldwin – #Occupy supporter and spokes-hypcorite for the 5th largest bank in the US–a man with an estimated net worth of $65 million dollars, had some kind words for a female reporter looking to get a quote from Baldwin’s recently announced fiance’.
“Here’s the nutty bitch who crashed the yoga class today with Snooki Alvarez…”
While it may have been inappropriate to crash a private class looking for a sound-bite, I’m more concerned about whether this might classify as misogyny and racism.
Nutty bitch? Sounds racist to me.

In A Van Jones Down By The River
Van Jones. Saying stuff just to say it. Like, “Libertarians hate Brown folk, Gays, and Lesbians.” Yeah, right. Not. Did he say ‘Brown Folk?’ Who the hell still talks like that?
