But now that I’ve heard about this, I’m afraid I’ll have negative associations with him forever more:

Add Will Ferrell to the list of Hollywood types raising big bucks for President Barack Obama. The funny man is co-hosting a $35,800 per ticket fundraiser on Feb. 15 at the Los Angeles home of William and Lee Bell. <source>

Now I can understand that most of Hollywood is Liberal, and I can understand that the Democratic Party has its members and that the world needs the balance of opposing points of view. But what I cannot understand is how any Democrat could actively support Barack Hussein Obama.

Why, Will, Why? Highway Crossing Frog?

I guess we have to file this development in the X Files (unexplained phenomenon), along with how Sean Penn could embrace dictator Hugo Chavez, and how Barack Obama could embrace Hugo Chavez. For all we know, Will is on a plane to Venezuela to perform at the fascist’s next birthday party.

But here is the real question: will this $35,800 per plate fundraiser be disrupted by the Occupy movement? Just think about how much money that is, and all those 1%ers shelling it out for the chance to be entertained by Will Ferrell and to aid the re-election of a man who rewarded Wall Street crooks and obstructed Wall Street reform.

Really Will, mouth shut, ears open: you are supporting a man who hates the United States and is actively trying to destroy it. Ergo, vis-a-vis, concordantly, you are an accomplice to an attempted murder of the greatest nation the world has ever known. Free your mind, Will, free your mind.

Actually, don’t imagine this because the cognitive dissonance is too painful and dangerous.

Anyway, some patriots still exist:

SANTA FE – Four illegal foreign nationals, including the ring leader who is accused of charging $6,000 per individual to fraudulently obtain a New Mexico driver’s license, have been indicted on felony criminal charges. This is the sixth incident in the last seven months involving criminal operators bringing out-of-state illegal immigrants to New Mexico for the sole purpose of obtaining a license. <source>

Here we see something good: our nation of laws is still operating and functional, but also we see evidence of something Conservatives warn about all the time, which is the magnetic effect of sanctioned lawlessness. Because New Mexico allows this insanity, illegals from all over the country flock there to get their credentials.

Following in the steps of American Hero Jan Brewer, the Governor of New Mexico is fighting to protect American sovereignty:

“We just cannot ignore this problem any longer as more and more illegal immigrants continue to flood New Mexico to obtain a driver’s license,” said Governor Susana Martinez. “I urge the Senate to do the right thing and pass the bill that stops issuing drivers’ licenses to illegal immigrants. New Mexicans are demanding this action and it’s time to act in the interest of public safety and national security.”

I love the phrase “…cannot ignore the problem…”. The sad truth is that no one actually ignores this lawlessness: people either consciously support and encourage it, in a kind of American suicide otherwise known as treason, or they fight against it.

I know which side I am on, and as a citizen it is the only side one can be on.

And by the way, I find it interesting that two women, Martinez and Brewer, are fighting the good fight, while Barack Obama, Newt Gingrich, George Bush, and Rick Perry speak and act as those who would willingly surrender our borders and sovereignty.

That is some girl power that just might save the Union. Are you listening Janet??

A woman who would defend it knowing she will be wrongly and unfairly branded as a racist?

And who would get in the face of a certain Impostor who hates the United States and is doing everything he can to destroy it, including filing a lawsuit against her state?

Just look at this picture taken yesterday in Arizona: it is real and unedited:

A Leader Confronts a Destroyer

That is Governor Jan Brewer, American hero, talking to Barack Hussein Obama. Reporters saw her heated exchange with mr. Obama and wanted to know what the fuss was about. Instead of putting my own words in cartoon dialog bubbles above her head, I’ll let her recount what she actually said, with pointed finger no less (my heart is swooning…).

Asked moments later what the conversation was about, Brewer, a Republican, said: “He was a little disturbed about my book.”

Brewer recently published a book, “Scorpions for Breakfast,” something of a memoir of her years growing up and defends her signing of Arizona’s controversial law cracking down on illegal immigrants, which Obama opposes.

Obama was objecting to Brewer’s description of a meeting he and Brewer had at the White House, where she described Obama as lecturing her. In an interview in November Brewer described two tense meetings. The first took place before his commencement address at Arizona State University. “He did blow me off at ASU,” she said in the television interview in November.

She also described meeting the president at the White House in 2010 to talk about immigration. “I felt a little bit like I was being lectured to, and I was a little kid in a classroom, if you will, and he was this wise professor and I was this little kid, and this little kid knows what the problem is and I felt minimized to say the least.”

On the tarmac Wednesday, Brewer handed Obama an envelope with a handwritten invitation to return to Arizona to meet her for lunch and to join her for a visit to the border. <source>

You have to admire her, don’t you?

And that photo ought to become a poster for her next campaign; a picture is worth a thousand words.

But back to his self-hatred.

Just look at this quote from Buffett about Mitt Romney’s wealth and tax rate:

“He makes his money the same way I make my money,” Buffett said. “He makes money by moving around big bucks, not by straining his back or going to work and cleaning toilets or whatever it may be. He makes it shoving around money.” <source>

WHAT?? So the only morally legitimate way to earn a living is to clean toilets? Is Buffett against all careers involving knowledge? If we don’t physically “strain our backs”, are we morally bankrupt?

And let me clear this up for those whose hearts ache over Romney’s low effective tax rate: there is a difference between the “income tax rate” and the “capital gains tax rate”, and this is intentional in the tax code because the capital gains tax rate is meant to encourage risk-taking (investment) in the economy and so it is set at a lower rate than the income tax rate. Wealthy men like Romney end up having much more investment income than “salaried” income, and so their overall rate is lower.

But Marxist Obama, and Warren Buffett, would have you believe that the wealthiest among us are getting away with earning salaries with tax rates that are half as much as the rest of us. This is FALSE and MISLEADING.

A Simple Story

Here’s a simple story to make it even more clear: an entrepreneur starts a business and needs investors to get it off the ground. Wealthy people could leave their money in the bank, or risk some of it by betting on startup companies. That tax code is structured so that if the wealthy person’s investment in a startup ends up being worth millions, the investment gain will be taxed at a much lower rate than if such millions had been earned through salaried work. This makes sense if (a) you realize that the capital invested has already been taxed once as income, (b) we as a society want our entrepreneurs to get funded so that they can grow businesses and hire a lot of workers, and (c) we want those with wealth to risk it in new ventures rather than leave it in the bank or in Switzerland.

It is estimated that nearly half of all jobs in the USA are made possible by very small businesses. But even big businesses need capital to grow, and so investment capital in businesses of all shapes and sizes is the great engine of capitalist wealth creation.

It is pure demagoguery to demonize those whose incomes are heavily weighted towards investment income. Their taxes are lower overall by design, and it is a good design. An essential design.

Unless we all want to be living in grass huts with mud floors. Or unless we want to destroy the United States.

“…It’s been an emotional year for he and his family…”

No, Chris, it’s been an emotional year for him and his family. You don’t think so? Read this mission:

This blog fights to preserve and defend the dative, accusative, and ablative cases inherent in the English language. This is because in the last 20 years otherwise educated people have feared that use of these cases makes them sound stupid, but they have it exactly backwards. While it is incorrect and stupid-sounding to say “Me and him threw the ball to each other”, it is also incorrect and uneducated to say “Dad threw the ball to he and I”. The correct construction is “Dad threw the ball to him and me”.

Other than willfully blind homers, we all know that at this point in his career, Tom Brady is no more than Dan Marino: a great quarterback with no rings.

No doubt Dan Marino…er, I mean Tom Brady, would love to win his first Superbowl! He’s played in four so far, and is 0 – 1 with 3 disqualifications. Maybe this will be the year he breaks through and wins his first…

Recall that Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton battled almost all the way to the convention before she threw in the towel, and that during this time mr. Obama’s malignant past and present was continually thrust into the national consciousness: the Reverend Wright (“GOD DAMN AMERICA!!”), whom Obama idolized for 20 years; his nefarious connections to Bill Ayers, a domestic terrorist; and his lack of a birth certificate and questionable origins.

Ayers was a terrorist in the late 1960s and 1970s whose radical group set bombs at the Pentagon and U.S. Capitol. Ayers later wrote a memoir, and an article about him appeared in the New York Times on Sept. 11, 2001. “I don’t regret setting bombs,” Ayers is quoted as saying. “I feel we didn’t do enough.”

Ayers was one of the original grantees of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, a school reform organization in the 1990s, and was cochairman of the Chicago School Reform Collaborative, one the two operational arms of the CAC. Obama, then not yet a state senator, became chairman of the CAC in 1995. Later in that year, the first organizing meeting for Obama’s state Senate campaign was held in Ayers’s apartment. <source>

But he outlasted the other half of Billary, and by the time the general election came around, all of the best “oppo” against him had already been spent, leaving John McCain the gimpy status of watching his lead slip away. [Incidentally, much of the oppo had in fact been generated by Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh in their shameful attempts to get Hillary Clinton elected, an apostasy for which they can never be forgiven.]

So if we get Romney, then yes, let’s have the debate about Private Equity and the restructuring of American corporations, and if we get Newt, then yes, let’s talk about his lobbying and ex-wives. Get it all out, and ring it all out.

By the time the election comes around, the Manchurian will have nothing but his disastrous track record to run on, and this should pave the way for a Republican landslide that will save the Union from the most America-hating president ever to disgrace the Office.

Greece is pressing its European Union partners to make last-minute concessions over a forthcoming EU embargo on Iranian oil, complicating the bloc’s efforts to unveil a sweeping package of sanctions against Tehran on Monday. <source>

That’s right, desperate and bankrupt Greek socialists are apparently so desperate that they now are asking the EU to go easier on Iran, all for access to Iranian oil supplies.

Most of the civilized world is urgently trying to curtail Iranian efforts towards building nuclear weapons, and yet Greece is so overextended and dependent on foreign oil that it would attempt to fracture the Western alliance.

Greece argues it is in a particularly vulnerable position. Iran supplies crude to Greece on highly favourable terms that would be difficult to match elsewhere.

“A particularly vulnerable position” that makes a Western nation — one that refers to itself as the country that lit the light for the world in ancient times — become the agent of the Hitler-like regime of Iran.

Is there any doubt that Barack Obama wishes to drive America into the same desperate ditch that Greece finds itself in?  What’s that Liberals, you think I’m engaging in hyperbole? No, I am not, and as always will argue the case on the merits. All you need to do is look at the man’s actions.

Last week he rejected the Canada-Texas oil pipeline, an act that weakens the American energy industry and increases our dependence on foreign oil producers such as Venezuela and the Middle East.

In a politically explosive decision, President Barack Obama on Wednesday rejected plans for a massive oil pipeline through the heart of the United States <source>

Newt Gingrich had this to say about the decision, and you have to love the plain, tough talk:

“What Obama has done is kill jobs, weaken American security and drive Canada into the arms of China out of just sheer stupidity.” <source>

Quotes like this one go a long way in explaining why Newt is still in the race for the nomination.

And let’s not forget the central dagger in America’s heart, held firmly by mr. Obama: the national debt, now over $15 trillion in a $14 trillion economy.

The United States’ debt on Wednesday exceeded $15 trillion <source>

When the Manchurian took office, the national debt was just over $10 trillion, meaning that this man, this Impostor, this occupier, has increased it by nearly 50% in just three years.

So he runs up the national debt and makes repeated attempts to break the back of the American oil and gas industries, all while destroying American health care, rewarding Wall Street criminals with tax-payer funded bonuses, and failing to pass financial reform. A reasonable person reviewing this list of actions can only conclude that he has a master plan to destroy the United States. What other explanation could there be?

And the Democratic party doesn’t challenge him for the nomination?
