Washington Times has an article on it. I tend to dislike Michael Savage’s pattern of calling a spade a vicious, evil, pedophile spade (I exaggerate a tad), but when he compared President Bush to Hitler when talking about all these bailouts, I find it very hard to disagree. Liberal kooks were right for the wrong reasons, and premature in their Bush/Hitler comparison. The argument that “I don’t want to bail them out, but extreme times call for extreme measures” could have easily come out of Hitler’s mouth. The notion that government politicians know how to help deal with extreme measures other than war should be dismissed at the door.
No, Bush didn’t kill any Jews, but is the word Hitler always off limits except when speaking of genocide? I think not. The government has shown time and time again it is incapable of solving problems. Everyone thinks that if a market crashes, the market is broken and something ostensibly outside the market has to fix it. This is kindergarten insanity.
Numerous television pundits say we have to bailout the auto companies. Why? If they failed, subsidizing failure solves nothing. Let them fail, and someone more efficient and profitable will fill that market niche. The government arbitrarily deciding who gets money and who doesn’t is breathtaking, and any American who understands the suicide of socialism needs to get angry. These bailouts are legalized robbery. Grand theft bank account.
Picture a reservoir inside of a dam. There are multiple rivers flowing into the reservoir, but a leak has sprung in the dam, and the amount of water coming out the leak greatly exceeds the amount coming in from the rivers. Over the years the surface level of the reservoir gets lower and lower til there’s almost nothing left.
To fix the problem, local officials decide they’re going to take a huge amount of water from another reservoir and refill this one. The level of the reservoir is raised and the local environmentalists cheer.
You cannot fix American car companies by giving them money because it doesn’t FIX THE LEAK. Handing them some money to survive for a few months is no different than taking $17 billion and throwing it in a fireplace. That money will go right out the leak and you’ll be right where you started, problem unsolved.
You idiots who think we HAVE to save American car companies so that the Japanese don’t win… my Nissan Altima was made in Tennessee and my father-in-law’s Dodge Ram was made in Mexico. So who is more supportive of American auto workers?
For the record, bankruptcy does not mean the end of American car companies. It means the end of astronomically high compensation for American car company workers. A bunch of people will be fired and they need to be. If you want the company to survive, they must drastically restructure everything, especially their union contracts. Giving the car companies a lump sum of money does nothing but delay the bankruptcy I and others are calling for now. They will go bankrupt when the $17 billion runs out anyway, so get it over with.

I can’t stand it when people get “excited” about a political candidate, whether it be for congress or President. Forget Republicans, forget Democrats; they’re almost universally unqualified to do the job and lie on a daily basis. To become the VP or CEO of a major company, you have to have tons and tons of experience and success, yet we elect government officials like we elect our 8th grade student-body president.
With Bill Richardson being added to the list of Obama associates being investigated or indicted, Americans of all political persuasions need to be reminded. With the evolving world wide web news cycle, scrutiny of political candidates just gets better and better (or worse and worse depending how you look at it). As a result, no normal human being will ever run for high political office. The genius businessmen that have learned for decades how to run a company and manage profit margin and be accountable for their success or failure will never be the guy balancing the federal budget. He will never run for office, because whichever party is running a candidate against him will spend millions of dollars to destroy him and his family.
Lets walk through this step by step. Almost by definition, any large political contribution given by a company is a payoff. Think about it… how could Exxon justify sending $500,000 to fund someone’s political campaign unless it resulted in more than $500,000 back into their pocket at a later date? Large companies engage in philanthropy all the time, donating large sums of money in return for positive public opinion, but they donate it to children’s hospitals, not politicians. There are rich people that do it for ideological reasons… David Geffen loves Barack Obama and has a shitpot full of money from his career in Hollywood, so he can afford to give it away without worrying about quid pro quo. Corporations do not have this luxury. They have to answer to a board of directors and shareholders. You can’t just send a couple hundred grand off to a politician without it paying dividends soon after. Therefore, any political contribution from a company is by definition a payoff.
If you think that’s cynical, you’re living in a dream world. You die-hard McCain and die-hard Obama supporters are nuts. Elections are always and probably always will be a determination between the lesser of two evils.

Even in the internet age, the Associated Press has a 36+ day delay on news.
The Associated Press has discovered that Barack Obama has somewhat questionable associations with bad people.
WHAT?!?!?! SAY IT AINT SO!!!
small - medium - large (different sizes for forwarding to friends)
How is it that the Associated Press just found out about Barack Obama’s “questionable” associations? Surely I wasn’t hallucinating when Sean Hannity was screaming about them for months. Or the other hundreds of bloggers and pundits and anchors who occasionally recognized one association after another, but never linked any of them together as perhaps relevant connections when considering whom to elect President of the United States.
This Barry Bunch has only recently added a new family member, corrupt Governor Rod Blagojevich, but the other have been there all along. Tony Rezko helped Obama buy his current home in Chicago and helped him fundraise before being convicted. Bill Ayers helped Obama get his political career started and hired him, after his terrorist organization bombed the Pentagon. Jeremiah Wright married Barack and his wife and baptized his children, before, during, and after yelling racist, anti-American nonsense at the church Obama chose. Then there’s Michael Pfleger, Rashid Khalidi, Emil Jones, and perhaps the worst of all, the “semi-admitted”* pedophile, childhood mentor of Obama, Frank Marshall Davis (click here to learn about Davis in a report I wrote on Obama connections).
Each of these associations alone could be explained, but not all of them combined. America has no idea what they did on November 4.
* It was pointed out to me that Davis’s writing were “semi-autobiographical” as opposed to autobiographical. So the technical term will be “semi-admitted pedophile” or perhaps “semi-pedophile.”
Liberals like to draw conclusions first, then determine the causes that fit them. Bill O’Reilly does this whenever he talks about oil prices or oil speculators. Tonight on the “No Spine Zone” he went back to this nonsense about speculators controlling the market:
“Speculators run it up, then they run it down.”
Bill, why don’t the speculators just “run” the stock market in one direction? Why don’t they just run it up and up and up? Everyone’s 401k will increase, Americans will be happier, and they’ll be richer.
Bill’s answer would be, “Well they can’t run it up forever.”
“Why can’t they Mr. O’Reilly?”
“Because the market won’t let them.”
And that’s the only thing that controls the market: the market itself.
These magical speculators he pontificates about get hosed probably around 50% of the time (as you would expect). Not to mention O’Reilly is a speculator. I’m a speculator… you’re a speculator (if you own any stocks or buy anything). You speculate every week that gas prices won’t go up. That’s why you don’t hedge yourself by buying oil stocks. The profits of oil going up could offset your gasoline costs, if only you weren’t SPECULATING it wouldn’t go up, you evil SPECULATOR!!!
A timeless chinese proverb:
Give a man a fish, you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish, you feed him for a lifetime.
Liberalism hands out fish to anyone who asks. Fiscal conservatives teach fishing to anyone willing to learn.
Note: Be strict with your definition of a conservative, a TRUE conservative. For instance, George W. Bush isn’t even a true conservative. There are plenty of liberal republicans to go around, as well as fish.
