I thought fear-mongering was only for those dastardly Republicans!

Liberal fear-mongering is truly at a high—‘Think of the job losses, think of the 401K’S! Think of the houses! Think of the children!!!’

I have thought about all that. As a matter of fact, I have been laid off and unemployed myself before. Albeit, it wasn’t during an economic crisis, but I know what it’s like to do with less. MUCH less. MUCH, MUCH LESS!

However, every single problem this country is going through right now STILL DOESN’T EXCUSE our President and his Democrat minions [and the idiot Republicans who have voted for this theft of a plan – Arlen Specter (R-PA), Susan Collins (R-ME), Olympia Snowe (also R-ME)] for trying to shove down our throats a stimulus bill with only a little for the economy and a heck-of-a-lot PORK for the leftwing entities that helped this man get elected.

Yes, something needs to be done to quell the downward spiral of our economy. No, it does not include global warming research, purchases of golf carts, hybrid batteries, coal plants, universal healthcare, contraceptive use and other items that stem from the Democrat wish-list they have held near and dear to their hearts for the last eight years.

Obama’s Chief of Staff and longtime Chicago buddy Rahm Emanuel famously said: ““Rule one: Never allow a crisis to go to waste… They are opportunities to do big things.” This was on November 9th of 2008, a mere few days after the President won the election. And boy, are they taking advantage of this opportunity!

Obama used the same fear-mongering rhetoric that he accused Bush of using by stating that any delay in getting his bill passes will turn ‘"a crisis into a catastrophe”’. Isn’t this the guy who chided Bush for using the same tactic and said that ‘we have chosen hope over fear’ during his inauguration speech? I guess fear-mongering should be used sparingly.

Democrats have taken it upon themselves to use this economic atmosphere to plug in all of their gifts as if this was a Christmas list to Santa rather than a very important bill to get the economy running again. Americans, especially the ones dealing with foreclosure and unemployment should be railing against the pork in this bill more than anyone else. These tolerant, loving ‘we’re-for-the-little-guy’ Democrats are thinking of no one but themselves and using people’s very real issues as an afterthought.

The sad part is that many people don’t care what’s in the bill. The same ones who cry and scream that we need something done quickly are the same ones that ignore the fact that the government is being SLOPPY with the spending of money WE JUST DON’T HAVE. Who cares about the pork? They fume. Republicans are playing games!’ Obama accuses them of not being bi-partisan because they (with the exception of the idiotic three) are against this bill.

LET ME SHUT THAT DOWN RIGHT HERE: Republicans seem to be the only people looking at this seriously and rationally. If you want to draft a stimulus bill to help the economy, AND you want Republican support on it—then adding foolish things like what I listed above will not help! Fiscal irresponsibility comes from both sides. Republican definitely had a hand in how this economy spiraled out of control, but now that they are thinking clearly and trying to reverse the foolishness and for that, they are accused of playing games. Wow. Obama admits that the stimulus is not perfect—well then do as you promised, Mr. President, and ensure that all of the pork is cut out!

Screw Olbermann. Forget Limbaugh. Away with Maddow. Ignore O’Reilly!!! RESEARCH FOR YOURSELF!

And a special message to Christians: Stop depending on Obama for your livelihood! Look unto the hills from whence cometh your help. It should be coming from the LORD!

WHAT'S RELEVANT TO ME AT THE MOMENT....

Wow, how long has it been since I blogged? Let’s see, around Thanksgiving when a herd of animals stampeded over a Wal Mart worker in Valley Stream, Long Island to get to the Black Friday sales—that’s the last time I had something to say. Well I have some more to say now, here it goes:

*Our new President is pushing a pork-laden ‘stimulus’ package to help jumpstart our economy. Bush tried it last year—didn’t work (this man was a straight liberal when it came to spending! No wonder the voters rejected anyone affiliated with Bush!) So instead of being the ‘agent of change’ he claimed to be, Obama wants to try it this year. Only difference is that this package is so full of pork, it literally and figuratively belongs in a pig sty. There was Nancy Pelosi’s idea of using hundreds of millions towards contraceptives for poor women (don’t know how that’s supposed to help the economy), and then there’s the billions that will be going to Obama’s favorite community organizing program ACORN (are you as shocked as I am at that?) and of course money towards beautifying the National Mall, 'habitat restoration' global warming research, and stations for electronic cars—ECONOMY BOOST, HERE WE COME! Rush Limbaugh among other conservative pundits are vilifying this plan and rightly so. It sucks. Even many Democrats aren’t crazy about it. The government helped screw the economy up due to their spineless ideas towards federal regulation (with plenty of blame to spread among both sides), so why in the world are we counting on it to save the economy? God help us! SOLUTIONS: Some of those banks just need to fail—sorry, that’s just the way it should be.

*Just read about some lady in California who had octuplets. I am glad both mom and babies are good. I am not glad, however, that she is an unemployed single mother who lives with her parents and who also has SIX OTHER KIDS already!!! Guess who’s going to raise those kids? Me and You and our tax dollars too! Even her own mother says that she is crazy for what she did. So here we have a single 33 yr old obviously mentally-disturbed woman who has to be the only parent to FOURTEEN kids!!! Wow. Just wow. I recently read that companies like Proctor & Gamble and Gerber are not jumping up to give her the freebies they usually give parents of multiple kids. It could be because this woman is getting so much bad press, they don’t want consumers boycotting them for aiding this crazy woman. I worry about the kids in this situation….all of them are under the age of 8. How are they going to get the attention that they need?

*I was going to speak on Obama's interesting tax-evading choices for positions in his cabinet-- but I won't.

*And I am too angry to speak about his executive order for our tax dollars to pay for foreigners abortions. A piece of legistlation he wasted no time signing a mere days after taking the oath of the Office.

*A colleague of mines called me around three in the p.m. to notify us that a plane crashed into the Hudson. I rushed to the other side of the office to look out the window towards midtown Manhattan's section of the river. All I could see was a bunch of ferries surrounding one spot. At first I was scared, hoping and pryaing that someone survived. Bugt when I got home and turned on the news, it was a blessing to know that everyone survived! I cried that evening just thinking of how good and merciful our God is. Captain Sully and his crew have been bombarded with accolades and honors including being personally invited to Obama's inauguration and a trip to the Super Bowl. And they rightly deserve it! God bless them!

So that's what's going on that holds any relevance for me.There are more issues that I have taken an interest in, but I just don't feel like writing about it right now. God bless.
