China Sounds Like a Good Option…Who’s With Us?

Posted on December 19, 2009 by mrk202

It’s official. This country has gone to hell. The Healthcare bill , which will officially push America over the precipice into full blown socialism, has a Democratic majority in the Senate to pass.

When the bill passes it will require all Americans to have health insurance or eventually face fines. In the real world this means only one thing: small businesses will be forced to provide coverage or face fines; i.e. they will be run out of business. Only if you have ever run a business (these buffoons in Washington obviously never have) do you know how bad this really is. As entrepreneurs, investors, and small business owners ourselves, we are already taxed to death in this country and face so much bureaucracy and regulation, that it’s almost impossible to make any money. What ever happened to the American dream?

In typical fashion, the bill will conveniently pass on or around Christmas eve when people are to merry and drunk to care about politics. Otherwise there may be riots in the streets when people find out how much this is going to cost them, and how many small businesses will be out of business as a consequence. Maybe we all should follow in Jim Rogers (famous investor’s) footsteps and move to China. It seems like Congress and this disastrous administration have finally made the obvious come to light. We longer live in a free market economy. Unfortunately, the British Empire had it’s day in the 19th century, the Americans the 20th, and the 21st century will belong to the Chinese.

Throw the Entire Federal Government in Jail

Posted on December 17, 2009 by mrk202

Yesterday we passed our Constitutional imposed debt limit of a paltry $12.1 trillion. A spokesman for the US Treasury said they have some mandate to float the debt within $150 billion of the limit in a crisis. This basically means that they can do whatever the hell they want, including making the country insolvent. Now President Obama is out with his usual scare tactics, saying that if we don’t pass the healthcare bill, the country will go bankrupt.

Does he really think this magic act is going to fly with the American public? Is he such an elitist that he thinks people in “flyover country” are this stupid? So let me get this straight. You and your buddies in Congress would like to enact a bill which will cost $1 trillion- that is in government dollars; in real human dollars that really equates to $5 trillion- and if we don’t pass the massive spending bill, the government will go bankrupt?

Since the entire legislative and executive branch of Congress is technically in violation of the Constitution, how about instead of passing this legislation, we all just sign a petition to impeach them all, and throw each and every one of them in jail.

The Headline of the Decade

Posted on December 17, 2009 by mrk202

Just a few weeks before the end of 2009 we just may have found the headline that summarizes the ridiculous decade which passed. As President Obama arrives in Denmark for the hot air convention, we give you the following from Bloomberg:

Blizzard Dumps Snow on Copenhagen as Leaders Battle Warming

God must be smiling right now as Al Gore’s entourage shovels four inches of snow away from the limo’s tires on the way to the “sky is falling, the polar ice caps are melting” conference.

Our 5 Thoughts From the Last Week

Posted on December 15, 2009 by mrk202

Sorry for the long delay between posts. Here are our 5 current thoughts:

    1. Obama’s approval according to a new Rasmussen poll has hit a historical low at 44%. Here are a few reasons why it should hover around the 50% barrier for the near future:

    • Obama’s pledge to fight the war in Afghanistan has alienated the liberal wing of the Democratic party which is beginning to turn against him
    • 90% of Republicans already despise the man because of his elitism and economic policies, and this will never change
    • As long as there is 10% unemployment and around 20% underemployment (those who take menial jobs to pay the bills) the President is going to get the blame

    2. The quote of the year in our eyes… I was standing in line in Walmart in a heavy liberal area the other day and the guy ahead of me said this to the cashier: “I never thought I would say this, but I now wish Bush was back in office.”

    3. At first the Tiger Woods scandal was juicy and scintillating. We must say that it’s the most we have ever checked tmz.com. But now, we are just tired of it all and wish it would just go away. All we are doing is enabling a bunch of attention seeking publicity whores (in this case, they are actual whores) to milk their sudden fame for book deals, Today show appearances, and endorsements. It’s now time to leave the man alone and let him deal with his issues privately. Everyone loves to beat on a man when he is down, especially when that man is one of the greatest athletes of all time, the most famous person in the world, a billionaire married to a supermodel blonde, and lives a dream existence.  He has paid enough for his transgressions, both in humiliation and credibility. Everyone makes mistakes and we hope Tiger learns from this experience to come away a better person and a better role model.

    4. The Healthcare bill is currently in the Senate but are we the only ones who don’t care anymore? We are completely apathetic about the cause at this point. We have already made up our minds. Why deal with all this nonsense if we can just move our business to Bermuda like everyone else. Have fun with the cold New York weather and Washington bureaucrats everyone.

    5. Some crazy Italian guy cracked open Berlusconi’s face with a plaster ornament the other day after one of his rallies. Berlusconi was then heard saying to one of his aides: “Why do people hate me so much.” Maybe having wild sex orgies with underage girls at your mansion, taking bribes from the mob, being involved in a huge corruption scandal, and owning the largest media conglomerate will do it.

      Bad News For The President When Dick “Slick” Cheney is Suddenly Mr. Popular

      Posted on December 8, 2009 by mrk202

      The new poll numbers are out and it is not looking good for the big guy. When Dick Cheney is within single digits of you, the ship is sinking:

      Obama Gallup Poll Approval: 47% (lowest for any President ever, at this point in presidency)

      Sarah Palin CNN Approval: 46%

      Dick Cheney CNN Approval: 39%

      How Apripot, the Slavery Party Lecturing Once Again

      Posted on December 8, 2009 by mrk202

      The 4S Party (you know- Socialism, Slavery, Segregation, and Secession) that Harry Reid so eloquently represents is at it again. This time Harry likens opponents of Universal Healthcare to opponents of emancipation and equal rights. As the WSJ pointed out, Harry might want to pop open a history book once in a while-

      Historians also faulted Mr. Reid’s curious reference to the Senate civil rights debates of the 1960s. After all, it was Southern Democrats who mounted an 83-day filibuster of the 1964 Civil Rights Bill. The final vote to cut off debate saw 29 Senators in opposition, 80% of them Democrats. Among those voting to block the civil rights bill was West Virginia Senator Robert Byrd, who personally filibustered the bill for 14 hours. The next year he also opposed the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Mr. Byrd still sits in the Senate, and indeed preceded Mr. Reid as his party’s majority leader until he stepped down from that role in 1989.

      The final reason Mr. Reid’s comments were so inapt and offensive is that the battles for women’s suffrage and civil rights he referred to were about expanding freedom. That’s not what the 2,074-page health care bill being debated in the Senate today does, with its 118 new regulatory boards and commissions.

      These goons in Washington are so despicable, we honestly don’t know where to begin. The triumvirate of Reid, Pelosi, and Obama will go down in history as the three who finally pushed Americans over the edge and America down the toilet into financial ruin.

      The Lame Duck President Now Most Unpopular

      Posted on December 8, 2009 by mrk202
      There will be No V Shaped Recovery Here

      We really have gotten quite bored of writing about President Obama. It really is no fun writing about a President who has set the record for becoming a lame duck. His Gallup approval is now at 47%, which puts him below any figure hitorically at this point in their term. Even Truman eeks him out, and that was after we had nuked the Japanese.

      The Climate Change Circus, aka “The Liberals’ Super Bowl” is About to Begin

      Posted on December 7, 2009 by mrk202

      The preliminary tally is in for the three ring circus which is the Climate Change summit in Copenhagen. Here is what you can expect:

      • 15,000 delegates and officials, 5,000 journalists and 98 world leaders
      • 1200 limos
      • 140 private jets
      • $1,000 per night at a top hotel
      • Convention menu featuring scallops, foie gras and sculpted caviar wedges
      • Free sex with one of 1,400 prostitutes in the local sex workers union (no, we aren’t making this stuff up)
      • 41,000 tons of Co2 emissions

      Of course at this point you are asking yourself: “Wouldn’t it make much more sense to hold this circus over video conference? After all, aren’t these idiots contributing to the problem they say they are trying to prevent? Well then of course, you would miss your photo op with Leo Dicaprio, because he is one of the many eco-hypocrite celebrities who will be there for the party as well. They may as well serve sh*t at this party, because all these people think their sh*t doesn’t stink!

      Should Al Gore Give Back Oscar & Nobel Prize?

      Posted on December 4, 2009 by mrk202

      In the wake of the climategate scandal, and the growing realization by the American public that “the sky is falling” global warming panic is nothing more than a tool used by greedy politicians for fear mongering and vote getting, a few conservatives in Hollywood are asking a question: Should Al Gore give back his Oscar for “An Inconvenient Truth”? After all, the documentary in all its Michael Moore style, is based on exaggerations and shaky science. While he is at it, why doesn’t he give back his Nobel Prize as well? This is obviously wishful thinking on our part. It’s laughable because anyone who knows Al Gore, knows that there is no one on Earth who is more arrogant, pompous, or full of hot air than this man. He isn’t giving back anything!

      Al Gore's full of hot air

      30,000 More Troops to Afghanistan… But it Does it Really Matter?

      Posted on December 2, 2009 by mrk202

      The President has announced an increase of 30,000 troops to Afghanistan within the next 6 months with the goal of pulling out all troops by July 2011. This is long overdue as we commend Obama for finally listening to General McChrystal. But the bottom line is, there is no magic bullet for fixing Afghanistan. Our leaders can’t think by sending in more troops for a surge, we will then be able to pull them right out a year later.

      Obviously like Iraq, there will never be a military solution in Afghanistan. The military should just be there to bring enough stability whereby a political and cultural solution can be reached. The problem is however, the military’s presence alone creates more animosity and instability. This is why military occupations and regime changes through guerilla warfare are always no win situations and tend to be long fought slogs with no clear winners.
