We are NOT amused.

Well, I am not amused. And I cannot fathom how the President of the United States can be "amused" by the tens of thousands of Americans who took time of from work -- yes, the Tea Partiers work, as opposed to Obama's base -- to protest the way that America is headed. The scorn that he shows for honest hardworking Americans reveals more about the character of our President than just about any other thing.
It is as if our "President" is saying, "ha, ha, I am picking your pocket and there is not a damn thing you can do about it." He is, however, depending on the listless, and shiftless in America voting for him in November or being too lazy to vote against him. He is counting on receiving enough time required to so fundamentally change America -- amnesty for illegals and then the power to vote, being a good bet -- that we cannot undo his evil. People in Germany in the 1930's did too little to prevent the ascendancy of the National Socialists through the ballot box. Freedom of thought and expression was systematically eradicated there.... Today, MSNBC, CNN, NYT are all already "party media organs," and their commentators decry, scorn and belittle our attempts to be "heard." Remember #41? According to MSNBC, a protest against the administration policies is "racist" and an example of civil disobedience. My blog would probably entitle me a one-way ticket to Rachel Maddow's gulag, as might my vote for Scott Brown.
Obama is desperately trying to sweep the election of Scott Brown under the rug of public opinion: but it cannot be ignored. Massachusetts, the most liberal state in the Nation elected a social conservative to the seat once held by one of the most Liberal politicians in the U.S., Ted Kennedy. He wants us all to believe that this was an aberration, a mistake. But it is not. More Tea Party inspired movements are starting every day, a true groundswell.
George Pataki, ex-governor of New York -- another Liberal state -- has just started the Revere America organization in the last two weeks. Its mission? To repeal Obamacare.
Obama, I will not be saying "thank you" to you, anyone that voted for you, or any Congressperson that voted for any of your tax hikes. Ever. You want us to be happy (as apparently hundreds of the Liberal Faithful at Gloria Estefan's house were) for this:
That does not include the double counting of almost $500 billion for "savings" in Medicare and Medicaid through the elimination of fraud and spending cuts ... and then spending those "savings." Since that obviously won't work the shortfall will result in liabilities for all Americans, requiring money to be raised to cover it ... through more taxes. Likely that will require a Value Added Tax.
To put this in perspective, limiting the amount that American can stash away in FSAs (flexible spending accounts) to generate an additional $13 billion for Obamacare, represents more money than Greece's current debt payment shortfall, or a quarter of the total EU bailout package. We are talking simply staggering sums here.
Then you have the increased top tax rate to 39.5%. And the increase in corporate taxes (to make American corporate taxes the highest in the G-20 ... nothing like making us uncompetitive). Don't forget the unlimited FICA: Obama removes the cap of $104,000 in earnings so that FICA can be charged against everything you make. And, of course, the perennial favorite of Liberals, those nasty dividends and capital gains are going up at least 5% each. After all, it is only "rich" people that will be affected. That this might stifle the capital markets that allow companies to operate (and hire workers) is conveniently forgotten.
I don't want to forget the Cap and Trade crap that Obama is trying to get passed by June, either. The House passed their version last year and the Senate gets a crack at it in the next few weeks. That will result in the single highest tax hit to American corporations EVER imposed. That is worth hundreds of billions.
And don't forget all the Bush tax cuts that are due to roll off on Jan. 1, 2011. Obama does not call those tax hikes and does not include those in his calculation of what we have to be "thankful" for. But the failure to renew those cuts is a tax hike to Americans in no uncertain terms. If you see masked men with sawed-off shotguns standing in the vestibule of your jewelry shop, do you let them in? Because if you do, you are as much a part of the heist as those in the masks.
Now Obama does not consider any of this unusual, instead he finds American's horror and outrage "amusing." If we sweep the Democrats in November, clean up the mess of spending to get our house in order, we may just be able to get this ship turned around. Don't get me wrong -- I am not saying "vote Republican." I could give a damn. Just do not vote for ANYONE that voted for this legislation. Interestingly, by extension that could mean not voting for Scott Brown in 2012.
P.S., did I mention the doctor - payment sophistry? You see Medicare is meant to pay doctors a lot less than it actually does for various procedures -- 21% less. In order to get the doctors to do them, Congress has delayed the imposition of the payment cuts for services. But Obamacare counts those cuts as part of the "savings" ... to the tune of something like $200 billion. The monkeys at the DNC controlled "Senior Journal" characterizes this as follows: "April 16, 2010 – Senior citizens can take their annual sigh of relief that a Medicare pay cut for physicians has once again been avoided. The giant pay cut – over 21 percent – had the potential of causing many doctors to no longer care for Medicare patients. The bill stopping this year’s pay cut was signed by President Barack Obama last night after Democrats won a hard fought battle with Republicans. Three Republican senators did vote with the winning Democrats."(Source: Senior Journal)
Senior citizens may well heave a sigh of relief, but to characterize Obama as their savior is another piece of breathtaking Democrat dishonesty: IT IS OBAMA THAT PLANS TO ENFORCE THIS PAY CUT AS PART OF OBAMACARE. HE MUST DO THIS IN ORDER TO MAKE THE NUMBERS HE PUBLISHED WORK. IT IS HIS PLAN. Now why did the Republicans fight this? Simple, to make seniors and other affected realize that damage that Obama plans to inflict to services, and if Obama won't cut the payments, expose the utter LIES LIES LIES of Obamacare and the funding quagmire IT MUST inflict on America. On us.
I somehow do not think that this analysis will appear in the New York Times.
