Saturday Links: Joe Biden Edition

Barack Obama is now stuck with Joe Biden for better or more likely, for worse.

Obama does not believe Gay Marriage is a right. I try to point this simple truth out to the kool-aide drinkers all the time. The adage about leading Horses to water applies in spades to them.

How is any child possibly going to pick up an inclination towards, a passion for, a resolve to be, someone who is ‘polite, caring, friendly, respectful, responsible’, from filling in the blankety-blank space with the most likely word from a sentence above?

Willard Mitt Romney has tapped Paul Ryan to be his running mate in this historic Presidential election. Paul Ryan is the perfect choice for the VP nomination, and the choosing of him commends Willard Mitt Romneys good judgment.

If You Cant Scoop It, Make It Up.I was ushered into the Majority Leaders office by a grim faced character in a poorly fitted black suit who looked like a reject from the cast of Pulp Fiction. As I crossed the threshold, the Majority Leader was peeking furtively through a small crack in his otherwise fully drawn curtains.

Most of us have never heard of this guy Tour before. With any luck, most of us never will again.Clueless Joe Biden is trying to brand Mitt Romney and the Republicans as racist, as wanting to put blacks “back into chains”, and when Mitt responds to having been called a felon, a tax cheat and a racist, he notes the desperation of the Obama/Biden campaign. At this point, Obama’s surrogates point a finger and accuse Romneyof racism, of using “code words” for racism. I hardly know whether to laugh or cry, when Biden accuses Romney of wanting to enslave blacks and Romney is the one attacked for his imaginary “racism”.The evidence? Romney used the word “angry” twice. Twice I tell you!!!

On multiple occasions, Barack Obama has scolded conservatives and Christians for not following the “biblical” injunction to be “our brother’s keeper” by supporting his big government programs.

Excluding hydropower, we currently derive only 5% of our electricity from all sources of green energy. Unless environmentalists suddenly support large scale damming of rivers, covering massive swaths of the landscape with solar panels and windmills the 25% “renewable” goal isn’t going to happen.

Interesting collaborative invention between Dave Mears (@dave_mears) and yours truly today on Twitter. I use the term “invention” loosely because it appears we all have a pair of these things. We just may be unaware of it.   Shhh. Don’t tell anyone until we patent our common-sense invention that everyone has in their possession.

Confirming long-standing rumors that Joe Biden would be replaced on the ticket, President Obama announced today that his running mate in the 2012 general election will be toothpaste. Making the announcement in the Rose Garden, Obama praised Biden for his years of service.

For people like Barack Obama and David Axelrod, deceit and deception are the norm they live by. Truth is as foreign to them as speaking Swahili.But, they are very, very good, like all those on the Left,at bending ans distorting the English language.

This must have upset the lefty lawyers pushing the suit no end.

One of the key tactics the legal shills at the ACLU and other left wing organizations used in order to challenge Pennsylvania’s common sense voter ID law was to search for ‘poster child’ plaintiffs who claimed they would be unable to receive photo IDs under the new law.

There’s a meme among Paine scholars and fans that hes been long neglected or forgotten. … There’s been a steady stream of Paine biographies, studies, and collections for decades. Only a handful of Revolutionary figures have more name recognition than Thomas Paine, especially when we consider that he played no major role in the run-up to the Revolution, the military victories, or the federal government.

In 2008, the last year of the last Republican President,the poverty ratein our nation was at 13.2%- in human terms this meant that 39.8 million individuals lived in poverty. In 2012, the last year of the current Democrat President, the poverty rate in our nation has risen toan estimated 15.7%

MSNBC host Tour came under fire yesterday for claiming that because Mitt Romney called the Obama campaign ‘angry’ that he was guilty of niggerizing the president.

“We tried our plan, and it worked!” — President Obama

Well, maybe. Then why another Friday data dump from the Department of Labor with the latest state-level unemployment stats?

Romney watch your back John McObama and his sycophantic twin Sarah McPalin have been making the rounds opining it might be wise for Barack Obama to replace his gaffe-prone VP Joe Biden with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

OBAMA SAID:It will help us close our deficit. (Obama speaking on the so-called Buffett Rule, his proposed capital-gains-tax increase)  THE TRUTH According to the Congressional Budget Office, Obama’s Buffett Rule will raise $3.2 billion per year. That’s what the federal government currently borrows every 17 hours.

PHOENIX Just as Democrat Richard Carmona answered the call from President Obama who asked him to run for the U.S. Senate, Carmona is backing ObamaCare which is funded by taking more than $700 billion out of Medicare.

In January of 1863, General Ambrose Burnside commanded the Army of the Potomac. Regrouping following a crushing defeat by Confederate forces at the Battle of Fredericksburg, the 38 year old Burnside devised a maneuver designed to cross the Rappahannock River

Joe Biden owns the mouth that launched a thousand slips. And by tomorrow, it’ll most likely be a thousand and one. Joe, you see, is the master of the verbal pratfall.

Ed opines on a real shocker: After imposing a drilling moratorium in the Gulf in defiance of a court order, blocking oil exploration and extraction on both coasts, and then killing the Keystone XL pipeline to Canada’s oil fields, the US has grown more dependent on Saudi Arabia for its oil needs.

I can’t read most of James Lee Burke’s novels anymore – the violence is too much for my tender little sensibilities. But the man seems to know what he’s talking about when he talks about dry drunks, that’s for sure…

Here in the Pacific Northwest the environazis, the governors of both Oregon and Washington are doing all they can to kill a plan to export our coal to countries who want to buy our coal because we are too stupid to use it ourselves.  It makes no difference that the coal would be delivered by rail in covered, sealed hoppers. Coal and all fossil fuels are evil but hey, let’s take food out of the mouth of our country by wasting corn and turning it into ethanol.

It really isn’t complicated- currently Social Security and Medicare are projected to go bankrupt and collapse sometime in the coming decades, and if the United States continues to spend more money than it takes in that at some point in the future the United States will also go bankrupt and collapse. If reforms are put in place now rather than later, the reforms can be smaller and act over a longer period of time to correct the insolvency of these programs and the United States. If reforms are not put in place now, then the reforms will be sharper, harsher, and more disruptive to society- all bad things. We elect Presidents and Congressmen to put in place these reforms. Paul Ryan has put forward such a reform, Mitt Romney has offered another variation on that reform. The Democrats, who controlled Congress from 2007-2011 and who have controlled the Senate from 2007 to today and who have controlled the Executive Branch from 2009 to today, have put forward no plans at all.

Children have one job actually two jobs their first job is to be a kid, and their second job is to go to school. Period.

According to certain bloggers, everyone but them, even though an objective look at the evidence shows quite the opposite. For example, just search these two academic related history blogs (here and here) using the search phrase “Confederate Flag” and “Confederate Heritage” and see what you get. Quite instructive.

Both Levin and Simpson focus many, if not most, of their posts discussing those who are “obsessed” with the Confederate flag and their Confederate heritage. What, are they envious?

Stacy McCain has a post up taking the very UNfunny Bill Maher to task for his racist statements While gay-baiting Paul Ryan,Maher also engages in racial stereotyping of President Obama: In many ways especially for progressives [Obama] is too white for them.

LD Jackson Personal Observations Of Our Society – Where Are Our Priorities?

I doubt if I am the only person around who notices these things, but I have observed some things that make me wonder about our society. These things make me question if we will be able to see any meaningful change to the place America finds herself in. Is it just me or are our priorities completely messed up?

Government is by far the greediest institution the world has ever known and always flat broke and desperately in need of money too. Government is truly a gang of crackheads writ large.

Economics isn’t hard, unless you’re a liberal. Before Paul Ryan was picked by Mitt Romney to be his running mate, there was speculation that New Jersey governor Chris Christie was in the running.

Keystone XL? What’s that?

News out this afternoon is that Obama is looking into opening the Strategic Petroleum Reserve as a means to relieve pressure at the gas pump.  Someone at the White House woke up and realized that the welcome springtime fall in gasoline prices has reversed course and retraced its steps, as shown [below].  I can tell you that out here on the Left Coast, the price of premium gasoline has reached $4.99 a gallon at my nearest station, but then California deserves it.

What does economic freedom mean to you? Does it mean you are free to sit at home collecting a check – money that someone else worked for – or does it mean going out there and actually earning a living? I’ll take economic freedom every day of the week, even those weeks when things are looking down. What’s the alternative? Sometimes life deals you a bad hand. It’s what you do with that hand that counts. Do you want a bunch of nameless, faceless government bureaucrats being in charge of your life, or do you want to be in charge of your own life?

 There seem to be a lot of negative survey and employment reports. In the final analysis, are numbers raaaaacist?

Wisconsin State Senator Alberta Darling was speaking to a group of women at a Romney rally. Mary Hoglund 83, was interrupting Darling’s speech to accuse her of trying to shutdown Planned Parenthood. In the video, look to the center of the screen. Hoglund has short gray hair and is wearing a white jacket. One woman pats her shoulder. Another puts her arm around her. Then the woman to her left says several times, “zip it till she’s finished speaking,” or something close to that. Hoglund spits in her face.

Ah, Comrades, it’s the Arab Spring, when a young Misloom’s fancy turns to thoughts of stoning, female circumcision, and crucifying infidels!

 

After Rep. Paul Ryan was announced as Mitt Romney’s running mate, it took less than 24 hours for The New York Times to define Ryan as an “extremist.”

 Jobless rates for New York, Connecticut and New Jersey all climbed in July, with New Jersey seeing its highest unemployment rate since 1977, according to data from the three neighboring states on Thursday.  New Jersey’s jobless rate rose for the fourth month in a row, to 9.8 percent, up from 9.6 percent in June and from 9.4 percent in July 2011, according to preliminary numbers from the state Department of Labor.  New York’s unemployment rate also increased from both June and the year-earlier month, rising to 9.1 percent. In June the jobless rate was 8.9 percent, and a year-ago July it was 8.2 percent, the state reported.

Nancy Pelosi once said of Obamacare that we had to pass it so we can find out what’s in it. Well one of the big stink bombs that the Democrats don’t want to talk about is the massive cuts they made to Medicare when they passed Obamacare. These cuts were designed to keep Obamacare deficit neutral and was a key provision that helped both the House and Senate pass the the bill in March 2010. In fact in the below video President Obama stated that he would veto the bill if there was any attempt to undo the cuts to Medicare. Check it out.
So how have the Democrats received a free pass for so long in regards to the massive cuts they made to Medicare when they passed Obamacare?
