Malignant Liberal Idiocy

The “government is always the answer” libiots are disingenuous or sadly ignorant in their urging for a government prop-up for the domestic auto manufacturers. Aren’t the same people who believe in these catastrophe postponing bail-outs the very same people that vow to cripple industry? Oh, that’s right, they don’t want to cripple industry, they want to save the world and the poor people…. by making more poor people.

How does one reconcile a supposed desire to save the critical manufacturing jobs on which so many Americans depend and a desire to take communion at the altar of the bloated Goreacle and his religion of socialism in the name of anthropogenic global warming? Serial heiress chaser, John Heinz-Kerry is in Poland pronouncing that the current occupant of the Elliptical Office and (tragically) future occupant of the Oval Office, “Big Brother” Barack Obama will indeed work to strangle American industry. Of course Gigolo John doesn’t present it in such a forthright manner. Reuters has an article, “Obama can sign U.N. climate pact before U.S. law: Kerry“:

POZNAN, Poland (Reuters) – The U.S. Senate will let President-elect Barack Obama sign up to a U.N. pact to fight global warming in late 2009 even if U.S. climate laws are not yet in place, U.S. Senator John Kerry predicted on Thursday.

But Kerry, designated head of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said on the sidelines of U.N. climate talks in Poland that China, India and Russia would also have to promise to cut greenhouse gas emissions to win Senate blessing of any pact.

“It will be like the difference between night and day,” Kerry, of Massachusetts, said of Obama’s enthusiasm for action against climate change after what he said were eight years of inaction under President George W. Bush.

Surely you are thinking that the only way to increase the profitability (and therefore the viability) of an industry is to restrict it in every way imaginable. Of course if the government wants to be 100% certain of an industry’s ability to sustain itself, it must regulate on behalf of a fairy tale crisis such as anthropogenic global warming. This is how it works, right? Instead of leading by example on greenhouse gas emissions, which they could simply do by never again exhaling, the libiot government bloaters will stop at nothing to control the people and as many aspects of our lives as possible!

So we have the government growers crying wolf regarding what must be done to save the jobs of the (UAW) workers while promising to remove profitability of all industries. The positive side is that a minority of U.S. Representatives, such as my district’s own John Shimkus, said no to wasteful “bridge loan” and even though the atrocity passed Pelosi’s Playhouse, there was enough sense in the senate to stifle it. Now the bad news comes that President George Bush has decided to grant a stay of execution for the companies that are in such dire need of (future) taxpayer cash!

How will a bridge loan save these companies when they are not able to succeed? How will propping them up for a couple of months enable them to become viable, reorganize, slash costs, and become profitable enough to repay the loan given the cold hard fact that the libiots intend to make the struggle for survival even more difficult through increased regulation? Is this a bridge to somewhere? It is, but no one will care to hear the destination. The common response will be something along the lines of “this isn’t Venezuala” or “that can’t happen here!” You see, nothing that has happened elsewhere can happen here, much in the same way people often believe “it can’t happen to me!”

My recent post “Victory Automobiles?” becomes more of a possibility with every passing day and every passing government intrusion.

I am a huge fan of The Three Stooges and regret using them as I am about to. When I see the congressional libiots from the party of the jackass guffawing about the current financial situation (largely of their own creation), I get an image of The Stooges in my head. Now I’m not an Obammunist elite, so please excuse my Stooges reference. The episode, “A Ducking They Did Go” has a scene, if I remember correctly, in which Larry, Moe, and Curly (in my mind Chris, Nancy, and Barney) are in a boat trying to shoot some ducks. One of the congressional stooges accidentally shoots a hole in the bottom of the boat in the name of “affordable home ownership” for people that can’t afford to buy homes. The boat begins to take on water and when the congressional stooges notice the impending disaster, one of them decides to bailout the boat with another shotgun blast to the bottom of the boat. The idea is that he or she created a hole for the water to flow out.

President Bush and Secretary Paulson should be out there with Barney, Nancy, and Chris… as should be many other Washington D.C. mainstays, but there are only three in any given episode.

I suggest that the stooges in D.C. not be allowed to unleash a problem perpetuating or even expediting bailout upon the citizens they are supposed to represent. We need something other than a bailout, something that will correct the problems created in our capitol. This situation requires a solution, perhaps something like soap and hot water, that can flush out the government placed economic impactions. As I’ve previously said, “D.C. needs and enema!”

Career politicians that peddle influence and retain their seats by bringing home the bacon (pork) or furthering the metastasis of socialism through policies that grow a dependent electorate are a huge portion of the problem. Again, I’m a common man, not an elitist purveyor of Obammunism like Roger The Commenter or any of Barack’s unofficial campaign staff in the media, so I have to rely on common sense here. The Barney Fwank’s, Nancy Pelosi’s, etc. are only part, albeit a large one, of the waste that that should be pumped from D.C. (now I’m thinking septic tank.)

The policies and laws that have been put in place to help the little guy (or to harm the big guy) and have negatively impacted the economy should be flushed out. The harmful consequences may have been unintended as the fools that put them forward may have believed that they were doing the right thing, but there is a saying regarding the paving of “the road to Hell.” Some of the harm may be as intended, put forth by Marxist politicians that seek to equalize outcomes by eliminating opportunity. Some of these may have been offered by legislators and executives with an Obammunistic idea of “fairness.”

Deregulation, Roger, is not the problem. Oppressive and ridiculous regulation, is indeed among the impacted fecal material that needs to be removed from our government! Sarbanes-Oxley forces companies to waste precious time and resources ensuring compliance, thus reducing productivity. Outlandish corporate taxes provide an incentive for companies to do business elsewhere. Capital gains taxes discourage investment.

Maxine Waters, Chuck Schumer, and Barney Frank are all on the record praising Fannie Mae, Franklin Raines, and the value of providing what amounts to high risk loans… in the face of warnings from the very people on who the Dumbocrats are now pinning this “crisis.” These GSEs and harmful policies such as the socialist CRA should be cleansed from the system, along with their defenders!

If our bloated government insists on addressing the financial “crisis,” they might be well served to consult “The Common Sense Fix” as being promoted by Dave Ramsey. Our excuses for leaders should do something that makes sense or do nothing at all. How about “first, do no harm?”

Here’s hoping that the electorate burns up the phone lines and e-mail servers on Capitol Hill until the elected representation begins to listen. Here’s also hoping that the electorate brings enema bags to the polls on November 4.

Drudge has a large and ominous headline, “$300B Rescue: Housing Bill Clears Hurdle.” The AP story begins:

WASHINGTON (AP) – A massive foreclosure rescue bill cleared a key Senate test Tuesday by an overwhelming margin, with Democrats and Republicans both eager to claim election-year credit for helping hard-pressed homeowners.

The mortgage aid plan would let the Federal Housing Administration back $300 billion in new, cheaper home loans for an estimated 400,000 distressed borrowers who otherwise would be considered too financially risky to qualify for government-insured, fixed-rate loans.

An 83-9 vote put the plan on track for Senate passage as early as Wednesday, but President Bush is threatening a veto, and Democrats are fighting each other over key details. Those challenges will probably delay any final deal until mid-July.

Tell me this nation isn’t ripe for Obamunism. 83% of the United States Senate believes in putting up 300 billion dollars of magic money (magic, because apparently Chris Dodd pulled a magic wand out of Rep. Barney Frank’s closet and created the money with one swish) to support the bad decisions of people that signed for loans they could not afford. I haven’t checked but I would be shocked if my senator (I’m not proud of it,) Barry “The Dope of Hope” Obama even voted on this measure. Obama is only in the senate after all, to enable his presidential run. He can’t be bothered by trivial matters such as performing the duties of a senator. Don’t fret, drooling libiots rooting for an Obamanation, this is right up your alley!

Any time taxpayer dollars can be pledged and government can be grown, the Obamunists win. The government is the daddy of the nation, it says so in the Constitution (read in Obamunist version.) The protective embrace of the benevolent Big Brother will shield us from ourselves as we are incompetent. I don’t understand how the electorate could be trusted to vote for elected officials, given our gross incompetence. If the average citizen is incapable of making a decision and coping with the consequences, I don’t see how he would be capable of making a decision on election day.

I have a solution for coping with the incompetence of the common man. It is really quite simple. Cut to the chase! Stop having elections! The people in power should make the decisions so I suggest that Chicago mob boss, I mean Mayor Daley choose the next president. The chosen president can then determine the proper governmental structure best suited for hopeful change and bureaucratic control.

The solution is beautiful in its simplicity and we, as substandard beings, require simplicity. We would have the benefits of government generated wealth to be evenly dispersed (well, not evenly because obviously the ruling class has finer tastes and more expensive needs) to cover our basic needs. With our basic needs met, we should want no more. Our basic needs will continue to be met because once the government runs everything… everything will run with the non-incentive based efficiency of any government agency!

I can almost taste the government cheese already. I only hope Barack’s senate (if he chooses to have a senate, if not Chris Dodd may need to refinance his sweetheart deal from Countrywide)  gives us comfortable shoes since standing in line for food could be hard on a man’s feet.
