Even though it has no state tax (yet! They are run by Democrats now) Washington state has a lot of annoying laws and has state run liquor stores. I don’t drink, but I am against government doing much of anything. Washington shows us why I’m right.

Now this is just a state. The feds are mismanaging the VA and Medicare/Medicaid health systems but they want to take over all the heath care in the US, even though Medicare is running out of money in 8 years.

There’s a new heath care bill in teh senate where they want to force people who opt out of government care to pay a $1000 a year.

Americans who refuse to buy affordable medical coverage could be hit with fines of more than $1,000 under a health care overhaul bill unveiled Thursday by key Senate Democrats looking to fulfill President Barack Obama’s top domestic priority.

The Congressional Budget Office estimated the fines will raise around $36 billion over 10 years. Senate aides said the penalties would be modeled on the approach taken by Massachusetts, which now imposes a fine of about $1,000 a year on individuals who refuse to get coverage. Under the federal legislation, families would pay higher penalties than individuals.

Government can not do anything except steal money from people.

The surprise resignation of Sarah Palin as governor of Alaska is probably causing a lot of cackling in evil lefty land.

“We got her!!”

Of course, the DNC made a statement that this proves she can’t take the heat so is unfit to hold office. Even though she resigned because too much of her time and her staffs was spent fending off the endless bogus ethics charges and other games the Democrats played. They have really gone after her like no one I can recall except Republican presidents like Bush. It’s really setting a very disturbing example of the kind of fascistic tactics the left is taking these days towards people they want to destroy. Tom Delay, Newt Gingrich, they were all too good at their job so they ran them out of office and now Sarah Palin.

Meanwhile, the most corrupt and unethical congress I can ever recall is running the government right now.

I have a feeling all this is about to come back to bite them hard. They are not making friends by taxing people to death with these new bills.

If they think running Palin out of her office is going to make her go away I think they will be in for a shock.

If not for the stupidity and ineptitude of the Republicans, the Dems were almost wiped out 6 years ago. They are seriously overplaying their hand now.

The anger out there is growing and palatable. I am really looking forward to tomorrow’s tea party attendance. Let’s see how the media spins it now.

Obama got on the TV today to explain the new job numbers (9.5% unemployment) by claiming that “we fixed the financial markets and stabilized the housing market”. Har de har har.

This is what the Congress creeps have been doing on your dime while many more people are being evicted from their homes.

As Obama’s approval numbers continue to slide with the stock market, you have to wonder if the press will turn.

Certain gays have a reason to, he’s broken more promises. This time to gays. Which isn’t surprising since he really doesn’t seem to approve of them anyway.

At this rate, Gerald Celente is looking to be on track, which is not good news.

When Helen Thomas compares a Democrat to Nixon, maybe Obama is losing his mystique to the press.

“Nixon didn’t try to do that,” Thomas said. “They couldn’t control (the media). They didn’t try.

“What the hell do they think we are, puppets?” Thomas said. “They’re supposed to stay out of our business. They are our public servants. We pay them.”

Obama has been blatantly manipulating and staging every press conference. To those of us not enamored of his act, it hasn’t been subtle.

I really can’t wait for the press to turn on him. If he has some big failures and his poll numbers sink below 50% it may be open season.

Old “evil eyes” (my new nickname for him) needs to get schooled in reality.

Hilarious, and I agree. [Warning: Language]

Good reading from Forbes on Obama’s health care plan and the lies he’s been telling us.

You can’t trust the government to run anything well. Name one thing, besides ripping us off, that they do well? It takes them forever to fix a road, then they dig it up again a week later to lay some cable. They can’t administer anything without going over budget. They are insanely in debt. Obama said we’re out of money. Medicare will run out of money in 8 years, yet he wants to stick us with a new entitlement that will cost over a trillion dollars?

I’m really tired of complaining about Obama, but he’s the worst president I have seen by far. I remember all the way back to JFK.

Al Franken just won the legal case in Minn. which means he be sworn in an senator giving the Dems a filibuster proof majority needed to pass any law they want. Norm Coleman is not fighting any further.

That means all the insane bills that are being written by this out of control government may go through. Including the new Cap and Trade bill.

Let’s hope there are enough sane Democrats who will defect on these monsters.

Climate change is the new “the devil made me do it” excuse for everything now. It shows what a bogus scam it is.

A webtoon tribute

I hadn’t seen this one before. It shows how the troops react to Bush and Obama.

Enough with Michael Jackson, MSM. People are dying in Iran.
