And another “green” taxpayer funded bankruptcy
avatar

It’s like a broken record, this scenario keeps playing over and over and over again. Continuing it is insanity.

We’ve gone over the failures of “going green” quite often in this blog, and I’m not going to keep repeating myself. I’ll just make this short, sweet, and to the point.

This green crap doesn’t work and never will. And here’s more proof via CNS News:

(CNSNews.com) – Ener1–a company that manufactures batteries for electric cars, and that received $118.5 million in federal stimulus money, and that Vice President Joe Biden visited last year the day after President Obama’s State of the Union Address—announced yesterday that it has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.

I rest my case in yet another example of another green failure at great expense to the taxpayer. Knock this crap off.

Barney Frank is getting married
avatar


Can you imagine the wedding night? Barney carries Jim Ready through the threshold! Lots of salad tossing and fudge packing. Maybe licking the chocolate off the love pole too, eh? Uff, ish. I can see it now, Barney eating the corn out of Jimmy’s kaka!

Democrat Rep. Barney Frank plans to marry his same-sex partner in his home state of Massachusetts, Frank’s office said Thursday.

Everybody remember the movie, “Deliverence?” I wonder if Jimmy says, in the throws of passion, “Squeel like a pig!”

HA! HA! HA! LMAO!!!

Or Barney saying, “Swing those dingle berries for me, Jimmy!”

[Hysterical laughter!]

This says it all about Newt
avatar

The elitist establishment GOP just doesn’t get it. They are out to destroy Newt Gingrich as much as Obama and the Democrats. In the establishments funny little world, being moderate is the way to go. Reach out and include Democrats. Yet, election after election and the discontent of the rank and file Republicans prove them wrong and out of touch.

They want someone who can work with Democrats, you know, reach across the aisle in a spirit of bipartisanship. No thanks. Not interested. Why in the world would you consider reaching across the aisle to the very people who are ruining this country and turning it socialist?

Moderate after Moderate equals defeat after defeat. Repeating the same actions while expecting different results is the definition of insanity. Clearly, the establishment is insane.

Mitt Romney. Nope, I’m not supporting him during the primary. Those of us who live in Minnesota only need to know that former Democrat-lite Governor Tim Pawlenty supports Romney. That means we all should run from him.

Then you have Glenn Beck who has an absolute personal hatred of Gingrich, he denies it, but most don’t believe him. He claims Newt is a progressive. Everybody is a progressive that doesn’t think like him. I bet he checks under the bed and the closet before he retires at night to make sure no progressives are hiding. I dunno, he’s gotten quite full of himself lately. I used to like him a lot, now I just roll my eyes and like clockwork, wait for the attacks on Newt, and they always come.

You can always tell an avid Beck listener when they call in to Hannity or Rush. They’re kooks. Just as wacky as the Ron Paul people, but in a different way.

Yo Glenn Beck! I suppose in your world, Nancy Reagan is a progressive too, huh?

Obama Touts Energy Record While He Kills Keystone XL Pipeline Project

President Obama recently unleashed his first campaign ad for the 2012 election year.  The 30-second spot is described as such:

President Obama has taken steps to make us energy independent and create an economy that’s built to last. He’s been a strong supporter of domestic energy production, has made historic investments in clean energy technology, and has nearly doubled fuel-efficiency standards for cars and trucks. Because of the progress we’ve made, our dependence on foreign oil is the lowest it’s been in 16 years.

The Washington Post gave the ad a rating of “three Pinocchios” for misleading viewers….

U.S. Unemployment Woes Persist
avatar

After the headline rate of unemployment (U-3) reached 8.5 percent in December 2011 ( the most recent month reported), some commentators began to talk as if the employment situation is now improving rapidly. Some have gone on to suggest that those of us who have emphasized the role of regime uncertainty in retarding the current recovery are now barking up the wrong tree, if indeed we ever had a valid point. To speak of employment woes as old news, however, is highly premature.

New Film Skewers Chicago Teachers Union, Explains Stakes of Contract Negotiations
avatar

CHICAGO – The new documentary film is called “A Tale of Two Missions,” and it’s focused on current conditions in Chicago Public Schools.

One “mission” is led by Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, who is working hard to provide fresh opportunities for kids stuck in failing city schools.

The other is led by Karen Lewis, president of the Chicago Teachers Union, who is determined to kill the expansion of school choice in the city, so her union can keep students (and the tax money attached to them) trapped….

The Tea Party Is Not Dead

Contrary to what some may believe, the Tea Party, aka main-stream America, did not evaporate after their big victory in the 2010 mid-term elections. This year, members of Tea Party groups across the nation are focusing on other activities that are necessary to grass roots organizations: training future activists, working to support the election of more conservatives to Congress and state legislatures, and assisting in teaching young Americans about their Constitution and why they need to defend it.
