Frankly, the tackiness of the display needs little comment.

Census Confirms that Voter Suppressesion Complaint is Bullshit

Focused for investigation by the Census Bureau showed that in the last national election, more minorities by percentage voted than whites. But we all knew that, even before the DOJ started their race based obstructions of state laws.

You Shouldn't Be So Frisky

Dick might slur his words a little bit, and was horrifically wrong about the last national election, but here I think he is correct.  The court decision places idealistic concepts before common sense.  In a gun control sense, this is much more effective, illegal possession is deterred by aggressive enforcement tactics.  Proven to be successful, it is exactly the kind of policy liberal lawmakers cannot let stand.

Here's Your Sign

If the angry sarcasm wasn't so well earned by the man, I would be so happy to spread the word.


The President tells his detractors to get in the back of the bus and try to be happy about how much he is helping the country out of it's problems.  Problems that often, at the minimum, are exacerbated by related government programs. Then if the issue is protection of rights enumerated in the founding documents, the governments encroachment is encouraged as best for the "common sense" approach to conflict.

Global Warming Nonsense

I am beginning to think of John Stossel as the thinking  man's Geraldo Rivera.  He came to his current station through major network media and has arrived at conclusions, at least in a public way, that common sense observations are better than hyperbole pinned to individual events.
Since most of the major media sources sources are not FOX affiliates, we conservatives have come to reject the mainstream news almost entirely as Liberal Hyperbole. The statements of victims, pictures of events are offered as scientific proof of how current events are horrifically worse than historical experience.  When involved scientists offer conclusions based on statistics the words are drowned out by media associates that are paid to proffer opinions that are exciting.  The truth that things are usual, no matter how insensitive, is boring.
To me it is amazing; the legs that this global warming issue has. Scientists who initiated the "hockey stick" data trend have been proven to have been dishonest.  They, by email evidence, manipulated raw data in a manner to comport with a hypothesis of impending disaster.
As an Industrial Engineer, I have been trained in depth on the application of statistical derivation, while the global warming hypothesis may be true, but so far the evidence does not support that.
To apply my own form unsupported conclusion, the liberal media is screaming because it sells advertising, the government is co-opting the issue because it sees an opportunity to fit taxes into the transactions of anybody purchasing energy.
Anyway, I usually enjoy Mr. Stossel's commentary.

A Bridge to Far

Crude comments should be anticipated, hoped for even and shown in blue italic font.......

Congress.org presents:  MEGAVOTE, August 5, 2013 for Georgia's 13th Congressional District:

Recent Votes:
  • Senate: James B. Comey, Jr. Nomination to be Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation Confirmation
  • Senate: Byron Todd Jones Nomination to be Director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives Confirmation
  • Senate: Transportation-Housing and Urban Development Appropriations Cloture
  • Senate: Samantha Power Nomination to be Representative of the United States of America to the United Nations Confirmation
  • House: Student Loan Interest Rates Passage
  • House: Iranian Sanctions Passage
  • House: Affordable Care Act Implementation Passage
Congress is in recess until September 9, 2013.

Recent Senate Votes:

James B. Comey, Jr. Nomination to be Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation Confirmation
Vote Confirmed (93-1, 2 Present, 4 Not Voting)
The Senate voted to confirm James B. Comey, Jr. to be Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation for a term of ten years. Comey, a former senior official at the Justice Department, succeeds Robert S. Mueller III, who served as director since 2001.
Sen. Saxby Chambliss voted YES
Sen. Johnny Isakson voted YES
Who the hell knows what this man's agenda is?  My best guess is that coming the Department of Justice; that the FBI will now be standing down on all investigations involving blacks criminals. 

Byron Todd Jones Nomination to be Director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives Confirmation
Vote Confirmed (53-42, 5 Not Voting)
On July 31, the Senate voted to confirm former United States district attorney Byron Todd Jones to lead the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives. Senator Mark Kirk of Illinois was the lone Republican to vote for confirmation.
Sen. Saxby Chambliss voted NO
Sen. Johnny Isakson voted NO
Glad they voted against somebody, not that matters a damn.  The freaking ATF plays games with the law, gets civilians killed and prances around like they mean a shit to anybody. Why don't you search for another Waco site?

Transportation-Housing and Urban Development Appropriations Cloture
Vote Rejected (54-43, 3 Not Voting)
The Senate failed to reach the 60 votes required to end debate on the fiscal year 2014 Transportation-Housing and Urban Development Appropriations bill on August 1. Conservatives balked at the Senate Appropriations Committees inclusion of about $5.6 billion in spending more than current levels under the sequester. The $54 billion bill would be $2.3 billion more than the fiscal 2013 enacted level and $2.4 billion more than the Obama administrations request. Much of the additional spending in the Senate bill comes from in the form of roads funding. The Senate bill would provide $550 million for infrastructure project funds, known as TIGER grants, an increase of $51 million from the pre-sequester fiscal 2013 level. House appropriators provided no funds for the program. The bill also would create an account that would provide $500 million for repairing structurally deficient or functionally obsolete bridges and crucial highway corridors.
Sen. Saxby Chambliss voted NO
Sen. Johnny Isakson voted NO
Keep talking you bastards, at least then can't do any damage.  Soon there will be another bridge failure like there was in Connecticut a few years ago, or the levee break in New Orleans.  The money will have been set aside for the "shovel ready" projects but is gone because it has been diverted to some stupid pet project like a study on the effect of sex-ting to male teenagers.  On that note, maybe we could just cut to the chase and get the Wiener's contact list. 

Samantha Power Nomination to be Representative of the United States of America to the United Nations  Confirmation
Vote Confirmed (87-10, 3 Not Voting)
In the final vote before August recess, the Senate confirmed the nomination of Samantha Power as U.S. Representative to the United Nations and the UN Security Council.
Sen. Saxby Chambliss voted YES
Sen. Johnny Isakson voted YES
Whatever, another POTUS drone that will repeat the talking points verbatim to the media, whether they be bullshit or not.

Recent House Votes:

Student Loan Interest Rates Passage
Vote Passed (392-31, 10 Not Voting)
On July 31, the House voted to concur with Senate amendments to a bill that permanently sets federal student loan interest rates. The measure, approved 392-31, culminated weeks of negotiation to reach a bipartisan deal after interest rates doubled for many loans on July 1. The bill annually would link the rates charged on new student loans to the rate paid in June on 10-year Treasury notes. The terms would apply to all new federal student loans, except for low-interest Perkins loans made to needy students. The premium charged in addition to the 10-year base rate would include 2.05 percentage points for subsidized and unsubsidized portions of undergraduate loans, 3.6 points for graduate loans, and 4.6 points for PLUS loans made to graduate students and parents of undergraduates. Rates would be capped at 8.25 percent, 9.5 percent and 10.5 percent, respectively, for the three classes of loans. The market-based rate system is similar to a plan proposed by the White House in its fiscal 2014 budget, and President Obama is expected to sign it.
Rep. David Scott voted YES
I am really against this kind of crap in any form, shame on the Republicans for jumping on the "kissing the ass of youngsters" bandwagon.  Student loans please the institutions of higher learning because they can grow without restraint right along with the government. 

Iranian Sanctions Passage
Vote Passed (400-20, 1 Present, 13 Not Voting)
House lawmakers voted 400-20 on July 31 to pass a bill aimed at reducing Irans oil exports and further isolating its economy. The bill would compel countries currently purchasing crude oil from Iran to reduce their combined purchases by a total of 1 million barrels per day within a year. Failure to comply would prompt a loss in those nations ability to obtain significant reduction sanction exemptions that let them continue to purchase Iranian oil. It also would expand the list of Iranian industries effectively blacklisted, further limit Irans access to overseas foreign currency reserves and impose additional shipping sanctions to limit Irans ability to engage in international commerce. Earlier in the week, Democratic and Republican sponsors of the bill brushed off pressure to delay the vote, saying that passage would send an important signal to Irans incoming president about the cost of continuing to advance a nuclear program.
Rep. David Scott voted YES
Tough bastards we are!  NOT

Affordable Care Act Implementation Passage
Vote Passed (232-185, 16 Not Voting)
On August 2, the House passed a bill designed to block the Treasury Department from enforcing key components of the 2010 Affordable Care Act. The vote, the last before members left for August recess, represented the 40th time the House has passed measures to repeal or dismantle the health care reform law. Four Democrats voted for the measure, which was supported by all Republicans. The bill prohibits the Secretary of the Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service from enforcing penalties the 2010 law would levy on those who do not purchase health insurance when the law goes into full effect in 2014. The vote culminated what House leaders dubbed Stop Government Abuse Week.
Rep. David Scott voted NO
You can how this week, when there was something that they thought was really important, everybody got it arranged, vertically integrated through the president, to change the rule for the Congressman's staffers.  This bill like the rest is simple insincere posturing for votes.

When You're Gone

For a while crap can build up in your email inbox. In the e-world things do not have texture or scent. This, however, has all the indicators of stinking like shit.  From the White House
Hey all --
Owning a home is at the very heart of middle-class security. It means a lifetime of memories -- of family dinners, basketball in the driveway, cookouts in the backyard, and watching your children grow up.
Your home is also a tangible connection to your community -- a critical part of the American identity. That's why having a home you can call your own is a cornerstone of what it means to have a middle-class life.
Today, President Obama will return to Phoenix to talk about the progress we need to build on in the housing market -- higher home values and helping millions refinance -- and the opportunities still before us.
President Obama has a plan to build a more secure foundation for responsible home ownership. Check it out and forward it on so that others can get the facts, too.
It's time to help hard-working folks fulfill their dream of buying their first home. We can help responsible homeowners refinance their mortgage, and make sure middle-class families and all of those working to get into the middle class are never again on the hook to bailout certain mortgage lenders for irresponsibility and bad loans.
And that's just what President Obama outlined in Phoenix: commonsense steps that will help protect the middle class and everyone working to join it. So even as Washington gets bogged down by endless distractions and political game-playing, the President is focusing on what really matters.
But in the weeks and months ahead, we'll need your help getting the message out.
We put together a graphic that helps explain the President's plan for a more secure foundation for middle-class home ownership.
Thanks!
David Simas
I did correct what I consider to be two spelling errors, but who knows, maybe the President has intimidated the Webster's Dictionary people into creating a new word called "homeownership"  If wrong please advise in comment.  
The POTUS administration has created a situation that makes it preferable for institutions to divert cheap money into the stock markets rather than mortgage investment.  Money is cheap because the Fed has been restraining the discount rate while new money is being printed at an historically disproportionately high rate. In effect our government is inflating the dollar while under reporting price inflation.  I've never been able to time the stock market, it has bubbled up again and overdue to pop.  
Back to topic, the above suggests the everybody is going to get the opportunity to purchase a home.  Between the lines, that means poor people who cannot afford to own homes will be purchasing homes with government support, support that comes from taxes collected and money printed which undermines saving and investment by individuals.  
Besides, don't these dumb bastards remember what happened in 2007-8, cheap money flowing into the housing market, cause inflated prices, a bubble popped and millions were suddenly up side down in loans because home values reached proper equilibrium with wages.
