Welcome to the Anti-Capitalist, Centrally-Planned Economy George Bush and his merry gang of Wall Street looters sent capitalism reeling.  Now the neo-socialist Democrats under Obama are finishing the job.  Can't have pampered government workers taking pay cuts like the rest of America, noooo way! Not only is the federal government giving states more money to pay off government unions, it's also dictating how it is to be spent: Upset that Texas Republican Governor Rick Perry put some of his state's stimulus money in reserve, Democrats stipulated that Texas can receive education money only if it spends some of the earlier stimulus funds. Congress is sending a message to Perry, said Representative Sheila Jackson Lee: "Don't fool with money for children and education."( Reuters ) Hugo Chavez would be proud of comrade Sheila.  Have you wondered what the progressive statist alternative to capitalism would look like?  This is it! Since the beginni...

President Obama and Representative Pete Hoekstra both attended a ribbon cutting for a battery manufacturing plant in West Michigan last week Holland, Michigan (CNN) - Is it bad form to attend a ribbon cutting celebration when you voted against paying for the project? Rep. Peter Hoekstra, R-Michigan, sat smiling in the front row today as President Obama marked the groundbreaking of a new stimulus-funded project in Holland, Michigan. ( CNN ) Liberal toadie CNN reports the truth... Just not all of it. They omitted The President’s money quote: But during his remarks, President Obama made an un-presidential remark towards Hoekstra, saying:  "Some made the political calculation that it's better to obstruct than to lend a hand. Now that doesn't stop them from being at ribbon cuttings, but that's OK." ( Hoekstra Press Release ) ( RCP - President’s Remarks ) Just what we’ve come to expect from the Community Agitator in Chief.  The new business is i...

While perusing Memeorandum for breaking news I stopped at "To Dumb to Thrive", a piece by the liberal Joe Klein over at Times Swampland  talking about the so called Obama stimulus. Aside from generally insulting the intelligence of the American people, calling them Dodos, it is basically your usual leftist drivel from an out of touch statist mouthpiece supporting big government. A couple quick excerpt from this leftist masterpiece follows. 1. The Obama Administration has done a terrible job explaining the stimulus package to the American people...especially since there have been very few documented cases of waste so far. 2. This is yet further evidence that Americans are flagrantly ill-informed...and, for those watching Fox News, misinformed. It is very difficult to have a democracy without citizens. It is impossible to be a citizen if you don't make an effort to understand the most basic activities of your government. It is very difficult to thrive in an inc...

Obama, the stern one, is certainly at odds a year after his progressive onslaught on American values and principals. His ObamaCare has stalled as more Americans have come to understand  the flaws in his reasoning and the catastrophic costs and resulting deficits it will bring to America. His decision to close Guantanamo Bay, for the purpose of appeasing the Muslim world, and bringing terrorist to the grounds of the 911 atrocity against the American people to stand trail has caused a backlash unforeseen by his Attorney General Eric Holder and himself. His rapid desire to increase the size of the federal government at the ultimate expense of the American wage earner/taxpayer and future generations is finally being understood by the majority of Americans. They are beginning to push back and resist the statist onslaught against their liberties. The loss of his party to Senate Elect Scott Brown (R) MA. to retain the seat held by the d...
