McCarthy Vindicated!

McCarthy Was Ahead of His Time
Looks like Joe McCarthy was right after all, the government is full of Communists…he was just ahead of his time. The United States continued its precipitous slide toward Socialism this week with seemingly every bill passed, Executive Order issued, or policy proposed. President Obama and the Left are driving us closer to a Socialist state, one in which every citizen is dependent on the government.
Many were delighted to see that President Obama put limits on CEO pay for companies who received federal money. You should be appalled. I too view some of the salaries paid to CEOs of failing companies as being exorbitant. But, I see Tom Cruise getting paid $20 million to act in a film that tanks as being ridiculous too…and A-Rod getting paid $25 million to play a game is just as absurd. The problem with President Obama’s mandate is that the Federal government is now, effectively, setting salaries for companies that were once private. Who is to say that the next step is not to mandate salaries of the workers? That, my friends, is Communism.
This should be a good lesson to us all that when the government giveth, it will surely taketh away. Our Founding Fathers believed that we had certain rights, unalienable rights, given to us by God and only to be taken away by God. Socialists, present government included, believe that the Government provides you with your rights…therefore, whenever they deem necessary, they can take those away.

TVs for Terrorists
There is nothing “fresh” about National Propaganda Radio’s "Fresh Air". It stinks. This week an interview was held with Jane Mayer who wrote an article for the New Yorker entitled “Hard Cases”. While being interviewed about the article by the host of "Fresh Air", Mayer began to speak of the case of Ali Saleh Kahlah al-Marri, an al-Qaeda sleeper agent being held in solitary confinement in a military brig off the coast of Charleston, SC. The entire interview essentially painted the United States as an inherently evil country with a Hitler-like dictator at the helm for the last eight years.
Hardly any of the interview was directed toward the overwhelming evidence that al-Marri was sent into the US in the days before the 9-11 attacks with the sole intention of carrying out more attacks on US citizens, including the use of poisonous gasses. In typical Lib fashion, Mayer blasted the United States for use of “torture” on al-Marri that included sticking him in a dark room…and such grievous, horrible things like…not providing al-Marri with a television for five years. She even insinuated at one point that he was “probably subjected to waterboarding.” Of course she has no evidence of that, but why not give the benefit of the doubt to a terrorist instead of the President? Of course, now that President Obama has been elected terrorists can rest assured that they will be treated nicely.
What was most appalling about the interview was to listen to the two laugh haughtily about how al-Marri loved to watch Jon Stewart from the TV that was just recently given to him. Oh, how amusing…ha…ha…ha…I am so happy that someone plotting the murder of Americans enjoys his Comedy Central.

“Make Sure you Find at Least One Republican with Tax Issues…”
Thankfully, the Clinton News Network has jumped on the Sarah Palin tax story and is holding government officials responsible for paying their taxes. On Wednesday, every 15 minutes, CNN was sure to report on the Alaskan governor owing taxes. These tax questions stem from reimbursements paid to her for her children’s travel expenses on official trips. There is no indication that she tried to dodge paying them, nor has there even been (until recently) agreement on whether that should be considered taxable income. CNN, however, is right on the ball…well…there were those Obama Administration officials…you know ones who owed thousands of dollars from years ago…the ones who knew they owed back taxes for years and still didn’t pay…where was CNN then? And, this was a story that broke in October. Why is CNN running this now? Just to show that not all the tax cheats in America are in the Obama Administration…at least one is not…kind of.

Oh, Canada!…We’re So Sorry for Being Greedy
One thing the Economic Stimulus Package did get right was the provision in the bill that required US-made steel to be used in projects funded by the package. Of course, once the Canucks started complaining “aboout” that provision the Obama Administration immediately began to backtrack. Why?!? The purpose of the bill, other than to overtly advance a Liberal-Socialist Agenda, is to stimulate the US economy…not the Canadian economy, not the Chinese economy, not the World economy. It is funded by US taxpayers. By definition it cannot be a stimulus package if the raw materials used in the numerous projects, or the goods bought using this money are not "Made in the USA".
In fact, more provisions should have been added to the bill to ensure US-made products were being bought using US taxpayer money. For instance, part of the bill calls for the US government to replace its fleet of vehicles with more fuel efficient, “greener” vehicles. Wanna’ know how to “bail out” the US automaker? Buy your hybrids from them instead of just giving them money. Oh, oops, that would resemble some form of Capitalism. That might make our Socialist friends to the north mad…we wouldn’t want them to stop shipping us things like…oh…I don’t know…ice or maple syrup.

What's that Smell?
Is it just me or does the stink of Illinois politics keep growing stronger and stronger. Roland Burris (D-IL) reminds me of a middle school student in trouble in the Principal’s office: if his mouth is open, he is lying. Of course, Burris is the Senator who was appointed by former Governor Blagojevich to replace Barack Obama. Ever since the days of the Daly Administration, and the “Vote Early, Vote Often” tactic of the Kennedy Campaign in 1960, Illinois politics has been some of the most corrupt in the nation. I find it hard to believe that President Obama and Chief of Staff Rahm Emmanuel somehow rose through the ranks of Illinois politics without collecting some of that corrupt stink…oh that’s right, Tony Rezko, Bill Ayers….

Transcript of Pelosi and the Pope
“The Things I Think” recently obtained this transcript of Nancy Pelosi’s meeting with the Pope.

Holy Father: Buongiorno, Madame Speaker.
Pelosi: Oh, hi, “Pope”. [snide snicker before kissing the Pope’s ring].
Holy Father: Thank you, as a faithful Catholic, for coming to see me.
Pelosi: Huh?!?…oh yeah…faithful.
Holy Father: What seems to be the problem, Ms. Pelosi?
Pelosi: Oh…well…meeting you seems a little underrated. I mean, I already speak with the Messiah on a regular basis you know.
Holy Father: Well, we all pray to Jesus, Nancy.
Pelosi: Right…Jesus. I was talking about Barack.
Holy Father: Oh… in that case stop supporting laws that allow people in your country to kill babies...
