Roads & Bridges built by Chinese companies & workers, thanks Obama!


 

So much for American jobs and the so called transparent administration that claimed it would rebuild our infrastructure using American workers.   Bridges should be built with US steel, no exceptions.  Where is AG Eric Holder when you need him to enforce contract laws prohibiting foreign companies.

Video:  http://abcnews.go.com/WNT/video/us-bridges-roads-built-chinese-firms-14594513

Worst thing is these are state owned so while we borrow from China the state gets back money plus interest.  All from the president who backed General Electric’s outsourcing of green jobs and soon GE may outsource X-Ray machine jobs to China.

Time for Senators Rand Paul, Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Speaker Boehner to fire back after the Bridge-Whiner-in-Chief campaigned for infrastructure spending.  Presidential candidates too!!   I thought Obama wanted to create jobs for the 99% and his union minions!!!   The fed could turn this around by threatening to deny Fed funding for future projects if outsourcing shall be used.

 


OWS Extremist List of Demands, posting for laughs


 

The incoherent rude and insidious  ramblings of the minds of Obama voters collected into written form and denied by the owner of the site, rofl.  Yo! WTG Team douchebag!

They even want access for illegal aliens, yet these people lack the work ethic of illegal aliens who will take a low paying job till a better offer comes along.  The mindset of successful Americans know that you work your way up even after losing a job.

These extremists are a chorus of gimme gimme gimme while blaming someone else.  Some are violent, none are cleaning up behind themselves.  Nothing really in common with mainstream Americans.   Herman Cain is right, if your not rich its your fault!  Success comes from hard work, government can’t teach that.

 

http://occupywallst.org/forum/proposed-list-of-demands-for-occupy-wall-st-moveme/

Demand one: Restoration of the living wage. This demand can only be met by ending “Freetrade” by re-imposing trade tariffs on all imported goods entering the American market to level the playing field for domestic family farming and domestic manufacturing as most nations that are dumping cheap products onto the American market have radical wage and environmental regulation advantages. Another policy that must be instituted is raise the minimum wage to twenty dollars an hr.

Demand two: Institute a universal single payer healthcare system. To do this all private insurers must be banned from the healthcare market as their only effect on the health of patients is to take money away from doctors, nurses and hospitals preventing them from doing their jobs and hand that money to wall st. investors.

Demand three: Guaranteed living wage income regardless of employment.

Demand four: Free college education.

Demand five: Begin a fast track process to bring the fossil fuel economy to an end while at the same bringing the alternative energy economy up to energy demand.

Demand six: One trillion dollars in infrastructure (Water, Sewer, Rail, Roads and Bridges and Electrical Grid) spending now.

Demand seven: One trillion dollars in ecological restoration planting forests, reestablishing wetlands and the natural flow of river systems and decommissioning of all of America’s nuclear power plants.

Demand eight: Racial and gender equal rights amendment.

Demand nine: Open borders migration. anyone can travel anywhere to work and live.

Demand ten: Bring American elections up to international standards of a paper ballot precinct counted and recounted in front of an independent and party observers system.

Demand eleven: Immediate across the board debt forgiveness for all. Debt forgiveness of sovereign debt, commercial loans, home mortgages, home equity loans, credit card debt, student loans and personal loans now! All debt must be stricken from the “Books.” World Bank Loans to all Nations, Bank to Bank Debt and all Bonds and Margin Call Debt in the stock market including all Derivatives or Credit Default Swaps, all 65 trillion dollars of them must also be stricken from the “Books.” And I don’t mean debt that is in default, I mean all debt on the entire planet period.

Demand twelve: Outlaw all credit reporting agencies.

Demand thirteen: Allow all workers to sign a ballot at any time during a union organizing campaign or at any time that represents their yeah or nay to having a union represent them in collective bargaining or to form a union.

These demands will create so many jobs it will be completely impossible to fill them without an open borders policy.

Romney – do you trust his Wavier flip flop or AGW?


Romney has flip flopped on ObamaCare more than once.  The latest “story” is he’ll “grant waivers for all 50 states”, before that it was “repeal ObamaCare”.  No need for waivers if repealed.   His campaign ideals are far from consistent and lack honesty and integrity.  Americans want a man of character not a showboat who makes excuses like I change my positions just as business leaders adapt to the changing biz environment.

Yes true, but in politics those who change tend to be less reliable and consistent till elected therefore trust is an issue.  Once a position is solidified most voters expect the candidate to remain firm. Conservative policy hasn’t changed as much as Romney has.  Romney has also said gov and the biz world are 2 different environments, he said this criticizing Rick Perry as someone who never ran a company.  So flip flopping is something he needs to work on and I don’t see that changing yet Romney has been working towards 2012 since 2008.

What about the states that don’t want a wavier???  Does Romney plan to allow ObamaCare to drain Fed resources to liberal states including Massachusetts? Why wouldn’t MA pass the buck on to the Fed? California, OR, WA and so on, yikes, we end up paying billions.   Thanks to Romney, fed taxpayers already pay half the cost ofMA’s RomneyCare in, or should I call it ObamneyCare.  Either way the bill was poorly vetted and the Smitten one signed it anyway.

While polls are glimpse into the window of time compiling public opinion on any given day we are fortunate that polls change like the weather.  And we have plenty of time to choose from the final 4.   Yes 4,  not 2 as the liberal media continue to push.  Who are the final 4, you decide, don’t let dogma dictate your opinion.  Romney has a long way to go as he has never polled above 25% against other candidates in major polls.   Same was true in 2008.  While he may poll better than Obama, the heartland of America has a lot more vetting to do.

Streif’s diary lends creed to Romney as a bigger flip flop on AGW, so is he for carbon reduction or believe CO2 is pseudoscience and scaremongering for Dem dollars to only give to nations that hate us?  Hard to say at this juncture.  http://www.redstate.com/streiff/2011/10/07/mitt-romneys-troubling-appointments/#addcommentanchor

Has Romney ever apologized for RomneyCare, hell no of course not! He beleives it was the right thing to do and it only cost 8 times more than he predicted.  Such a pro at budgeting and projecting forward, NOT!  If elected will Romney hire anyone that advised him on healthcare

Will national dems eat Romney alive?  Massachusetts dems shoved bills onto his desk a second time after being vetoed.  Proof Romney lacked the leadership skills to garner support to kill bills in committee or before the vote.  The second run on many bills the pass the legislature only lends creed that Romney could face the same if dems win back the House in 2014.

Remember these are the same dems that obstructed banking reform in 2002 and 2005 only to see the housing market collapse as predicted.  Not too many real adults on the left, a President Romney will bring out the howl of the loons of the far left who still have more power than the centrists and moderates.   Would I vote for Romney if nominated, sure anyone is better than Obama.  But we should never settle just because the establishment leans Romney’s way.  My fear is the Smitten One will become a big spender similar to Bush.

Also, when will the media ask Obama how he feels about voting against banking reform in 2005 considering the banking collapse.  Dems said the housing market would fail with reform, said the gop was racist to push for reform because minorities and the poor wouldn’t be able to qualify for loans.  The market collapsed and Obama has never been asked about it.  Pass this on to media contacts and push the question in a press briefing.   Someone asked Obama about voting against a debt ceiling raise, so my question is fair game too. Good question for Fox News!

We have to ask tough questions and face the facts no matter the outcome.

Weiner coached women to lie, offered public relations team help


Once the hotdog chatter box of the left, now not even the best Condiments could enhance this Weiner towards surviving the political onslaught.  Did he only have “cyber sexual relations” with 6 women, his choice of words wasn’t exact and left room for debate?  3 years of fun on the job with women online.  Expect more women to surface and of course the media researchers will digg through the internet files stored online forever……yes people every site you go to is stored  in separate company databases forever.

Scary facts for public figures once the hotdog bun begins to mold.   WeinerGate, you can’t make up stuff like this.  The ethics investigation shall be long and painful, better to resign and move on, perhaps Elliot Spitzer could use a sidekick.

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0611/56395.html

Rep. Anthony Weiner encouraged a porn star to lie about their on-line relationship and offered her the help of his public relations team, according to a report on Tuesday.  Weiner sent emails to former X-rated performer Ginger Lee – to whom he’d previously acknowledged sending innocuous messages via Twitter – coaching her to deny that they had been communicating, reported TMZ, which obtained the messages and says the two had exchanged “scores of sexual emails over a long period of time.”

“The key is to have a short, thought out statement that tackles the top line questions and then refer people back to it,” Weiner is alleged to have written in a June 1 email. “Have a couple of iterations of: ‘This is silly. Like so many others, I follow Rep. Weiner on Twitter. I don’t know him and have never met him. He briefly followed me and sent me a dm (direct message) saying thank you for the follow. That’s it.’”

Someone connected Hillary Clinton to Weiner’s wife, not sure if this is legit or just the usual CT Nutters.

History of Newt’s Healthcare Mandate talk


Newt’s HealthTransformation.net as well as his book mention mandates.  Apparently Newt has flown under the radar for many years.  I thought Meet the Press was the worst mistake but its now apparent Newt’s got so spaining to do.

Newt forgot Gaylord Parkinson’s Eleventh Commandment that President Reagan followed after he criticized the GOP while campaigning.

“Thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow Republican”

http://www.newsmax.com/Headline/gingrich-health-care-insurance/2011/05/16/id/396587?s=al&promo_code=C469-1

Newt Gingrich was for the individual mandate for health insurance before he was against it -– that was the impression given Monday in a John Kerry-esque video that the former House Speaker’s campaign staff hurriedly released to quell a firestorm of criticism about comments he made Sunday on “Meet the Press.”

Wikileaks listed bin Laden’s courier from Gitmo file


More reason to put Julian Assange in the penitentiary using the Wire Tap Act and Espionage Act plus whatever else they can dig u on this hacker turned Mafia like hacker boss.   The PDF file on the site in slow to open, the Gitmo file even has the courier’s picture.  Looks like bin Laden’s terrorist buddies didn’t have his back after all because the info was out there.  We were smarter and faster fortunately.

Wikileaks came this close to tipping off Osama bin Laden.

http://www.theatlanticwire.com/global/2011/05/wikileaks-files-contained-clue-bin-laden-abbottabad-hideout/37252/

If Osama Bin Laden had read the latest batch of WikiLeaks documents a bit closer, he would have known that one of his couriers had been compromised and that we were hot on his trail.

The Atlantic reveals a heretofore unrevealed document:

Interupting the political clap trap for humor from John Cleese


We interrupt the usual political claptrap here for this SPECIAL ALERT!  Thought I’d load some humor to counter the hunt for Huntsman proponents.

(With thanks to John Cleese, still one of the funniest humans who ever lived)  Monty Python creator.

ALERTS TO THREATS IN 2011 EUROPE: BY JOHN CLEESE
The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent events in Libya and the announcement of the death of Osama bin Laden, and have therefore raised their security level from “Miffed” to “Peeved.” Soon though, security levels may be raised yet again to “Irritated” or even “A Bit Cross.” The English have not been “A Bit Cross” since the blitz in 1940 when tea supplies nearly ran out. Terrorists have been re-categorized from “Tiresome” to “A Bloody Nuisance.” The last time the British issued a “Bloody Nuisance” warning level
was in 1588, when threatened by the Spanish Armada.

The Scots have raised their threat level from “Pissed Off” to “Let’s get the Bastards.” They don’t have any other levels. This is the reason they have been used on the front line of the British army for the last 300 years.

The French government announced yesterday that it has raised its terror alert level from “Run” to “Hide.” The only two higher levels in France are “Collaborate” and “Surrender.” The rise was precipitated by a recent fire that destroyed France ‘s white flag factory, effectively paralyzing the country’s military capability.

Italy has increased the alert level from “Shout Loudly and Excitedly” to “Elaborate Military Posturing.” Two more levels remain: “Ineffective Combat Operations” and “Change Sides.”

The Germans have increased their alert state from “Disdainful Arrogance” to “Dress in Uniform and Sing Marching Songs.” They also have two higher levels: “Invade a Neighbor” and “Lose.”

Belgians, on the other hand, are all on holiday as usual; the only threat they are worried about is NATO pulling out of Brussels .

The Spanish are all excited to see their new submarines ready to deploy. These beautifully designed subs have glass bottoms so the new Spanish navy can get a really good look at the old Spanish navy.

Australia, meanwhile, has raised its security level from “No worries” to “She’ll be alright, Mate.” Two more escalation levels remain: “Crikey! I think we’ll need to cancel the barbie this weekend!” and “The barbie is canceled.” So far no situation has ever warranted use of the final escalation level.


David Frum officially becomes a race baiter & political flip flopper


In blog one David Frum race baits and suggests the GOP should have ignored this issue, which they did, in the second blog the next day Frum blames the GOP for not getting involved in this sooner.   What a poor excuse for a CONservative because Frum has the CON game on and he’s a joke and not a serious conservative.   When conservatives succumb to race baiting we lose legitimacy on important issues, save till a true racial issue arrises.  Small issues like the birther stuff only hurt Obama not the GOP which avoided the birther crowd for the most part.

The media are at fault for not investigating the birther stuff in more detail in 2007, instead most shrugged it off and we all know the liberal media fanned the birther flames after the inauguration and they ran polls as did Pew Research’s poll in August 2010 just in time for the elections.

http://www.frumforum.com/the-birther-disgrace

Now the more haunting question: How did this poisonous and not very subtly racist allegation get such a grip on our conservative movement and our Republican party?

I know there will be Republican writers and conservative publicists who will now deny that birtherism ever did get a grip. Sorry, that’s just wrong. Not only did Trump surge ahead in Republican polls by flaming racial fires – not only did conservative media outlets from Fox to Drudge to the Breitbart sites indulge the birthers – but so also did every Republican candidate who said, “I take the president at his word.” Birthers did not doubt the president’s “word.” They were doubting the official records of the state of Hawaii. It’s like answering a 9/11 conspiracist by saying, “I take the 9/11 families at their word that they lost their loved ones.”

Yet even now, the racialist aspect of the anti-Obama movement has not subsided. Trump has moved from the birth certificate to questioning the president’s academic qualifications for the Harvard Law School. Trump himself was a troubled student (at one point he attended a military school) who nonetheless gained admission to Wharton. His father’s wealth and business success cannot have hurt with that application. Yet he feels himself qualified to pronounce on who is and who is not smart enough to attend Harvard Law. Barack Obama graduated magna cum laude. (And to anticipate a new line of attack – yes, Harvard Law School exams were blind-graded.) He was elected editor of the law review. And his classmates, left and right, universally admired his abilities.

I wish it were otherwise, but it does seem that these racialized attacks on Obama have exacted a toll on him. But they also have exacted a toll on the opposition to Obama. The too-faint repudiation of birtherism by regular Republicans has shaped not only the Obama brand, but also the Republican brand. It was not only white people who heard the implied message about who counts and who does not count as a “real American.”

I write as an opponent of virtually every major and minor action of this administration. Republicans should be fighting this president on policy, not winking at those who use race as a weapon. It’s worth recalling the generous words of John McCain on election night 2008:

http://www.frumforum.com/why-didnt-the-gop-stand-up-to-the-birthers/comment-page-3#comment-283808

Abe Greenwald suggests at the Commentary blog that President Obama deliberately exploited the birth certificate pseudo-controversy.

Greenwald suggests that the president cunningly baited a trap with the conscious intent of portraying his opponents as racist lunatics.

Greenwald may very well be correct about this. Question: Faced with such a devilish ploy, how might Republicans and conservatives have avoided being victimized? Here’s a thought. What about: not walk into it?

Instead, with rare exceptions, leading Republicans from the Speaker of the House downward played games with the birther issue. Maybe they played those games unhappily, but they played the games even so. That was a choice, not a compulsion. And some Republicans – Sarah Palin inevitably, but others too – did much more than play games. That was a choice too.

What else could Republicans have done? They might have answered as Bill Clinton answered when confronted by 9/11 conspiracy theorist hecklers. He heard them out. He recapitulated the facts. He restated the truth. And he told people who continued to defy reality that they “looked like idiots.” He added for good measure: “We heard from you. You go away.”


Florescent light bulbs produce a Smog in the room, thanks OBAMA!


We can thank the Illuminator in Chief Obama for outlawing incandescent bulbs before thorough research was conducted on compact florescent bulbs.  The rush to outlaw the bulbs is consistent with the Envirofascist style of scare first, study later, say opps ummm never and Obama followed the same people who said paper grocery sacks kill the environment, the same group now want to outlaw plastic sacks because the children finally figured out that trees are “renewable”.  The adults on the right tried just as they did with light bulbs.

These bulbs aren’t as bright and they don’t always fit in lamps so what will the left think of next?  Though more studies are needed I felt people should know now for health precautions and because the liberal media haven’t discussed this so I wonder what will it take to focus on this issue.  I think Dems are trying to find a way to blame Bush because this one is on Obama.   Hope and Change that light bulb! Yes they did!

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/8462626/Energy-saving-light-bulbs-contain-cancer-causing-chemicals.html

Their report advises that the bulbs should not be left on for extended periods, particularly near someone’s head, as they emit poisonous materials when switched on.

Peter Braun, who carried out the tests at the Berlin’s Alab Laboratory, said: “For such carcinogenic substances it is important they are kept as far away as possible from the human environment.”

The bulbs are already widely used in the UK following EU direction to phase out traditional incandescent lighting by the end of this year.

But the German scientists claimed that several carcinogenic chemicals and toxins were released when the environmentally-friendly compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) were switched on, including phenol, naphthalene and styrene.

Andreas Kirchner, of the Federation of German Engineers, said: “Electrical smog develops around these lamps.

“I, therefore, use them only very economically. They should not be used in unventilated areas and definitely not in the proximity of the head.”

British experts insisted that more research was needed and urged consumers not to panic.

Dr Michelle Bloor, senior lecturer in Environmental Science at Portsmouth University, told the Daily Express: “Further independent studies would need to be undertaken to back up the presented German research.”

The Department for the Environment insists the bulbs are safe, despite the fact that they contain small amounts of mercury which would leak out if the glass was broken.

Advice on its website states: “Energy efficient light bulbs are not a danger to the public.

“Although they contain mercury, limited at 5mg per lamp, it cannot escape from a lamp that is intact.

“In any case, the very small amount contained in an energy efficient bulb is unlikely to cause harm even if the lamp should be broken.”

The latest report follows claims by Abraham Haim, a professor of biology at Haifa University in Israel, that the bulbs could result in higher breast cancer rates if used late at night.

He said that the bluer light that CFLs emitted closely mimicked daylight, disrupting the body’s production of the hormone melatonin more than older-style filament bulbs, which cast a yellower light.

The Migraine Action Association has warned that they could trigger migraines and skin care specialists have claimed that their intense light could exacerbate a range of existing skin problems.


Keith Olbermann will work for Al Gores TV Channel


“Current Media, Al Gore and Joel Hyatt have created the model truth-seeking entity.” A truth seeking entity, sounds like the ultimate oxymoron.  Well I didn’t know Gore owned a TV station, fortunately my cable provider doesn’t offer this channel, doubt I’d watch anyway.  Olbermann was known for lies  like “war criminal” and “Bush was responsible for 9/11″ etc.  So much for truth-seeking.  The irony is too many liberals think MSNBC wasn’t corporate controlled news. Considering the instant ramblings, lies and fear mongering I can’t imagine how anyone would think pMSNBC was controlled at all.  The evening shows were so Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hideish it isn’t even funny.  Perhaps Comcast will turn things around because being ranked number 28 isn’t anything to be proud of.  Comcast is run by a republican CEO and NBCUniversal shall be run by a republican too.

Funny thing about Olbermann, he rarely debated conservatives and mostly discussed issues with lesser educated wannabe sophists passing themselves off as elitists.  So much for bipartisanship or caring to draw in a larger audience.  HuffBlo members tried to name Olbermann KOKO, as if he’s comparable to Conan O”Brien.  ROFL  Talk about hero worship.

Al Gore has been going down hill since his failed bid for the presidency.  Can’t wait till the ClimateGate House investigations begin, they’re still planning them right?  I certainly hope so.  Even liberals should see through the scam and wonder why Carbon Derivatives will be used……aren’t they against derivatives?  If Gov could prove CO2 is a threat then perhaps CO2 could be taxed.  But even then we wouldn’t need derivatives because Gov could tax industry directly with no need for publicly traded futures aka derivatives.  So wallstreet gets what they want and liberals just lie down and take it while everyday costs go up to compensate for industry costs.  Food and energy costs are way up, wait till CO2 permits trade, this liberal scheme will starve the poor and we’ll see more retirees freezing in the winter.  And Keith Olbermann will usher in the hysteria.

A Message from Keith Olbermann

Nothing is more vital to a free America than a free media, and nothing is more vital to my concept of a free media than news produced independently of corporate interference. In Current Media, Al Gore and Joel Hyatt have created the model truth-seeking entity. The opportunity to partner with Al, Joel and Mark Rosenthal makes this the most exciting venture in my career.
