Even nothing is too much for these parasites.

  Detroit attempted to auction off tax delinquent properties. Even though the minimum bid was $500, many Detroiters had a real problem with the idea that the properties were sold to the highest bidder. In other words, the very concept of “auction” where the highest bid wins, is foreign to them and evil.

They want these homes for nothing. Just like they want everything else for nothing. A couple of weeks ago, it was “free” money from Obama that had them lining up. When asked how Obama got the money to give to them, a couple of women interviewed just didn’t know. All they wanted was the “free” money and now free houses.

Well this is what the still free people of the United States are up against: people who think it should all be “free” – for them.

Sowell warns on Obama’s desire to dismantle America.

This is one of the most remarkable columns Thomas Sowell has written. He dissects Obama's dismantling of America. Well worth emailing to your friendss, passign out printed copies. Sowell captures the danger of Obama and his cohort.

"Those who say that the Obama administration should have investigated those people more thoroughly before appointing them are missing the point completely.

Why should we assume that Barack Obama didn't know what such people were like, when he has been associating with precisely these kinds of people for decades before he reached the White House?

Nothing is more consistent with his lifelong patterns than putting such people in government-- people who reject American values, resent Americans in general and successful Americans in particular, as well as resenting America's influence in the world. Any miscalculation on his part would be in not thinking that others would discover what these stealth appointees were like. Had it not been for the Fox News Channel, these stealth appointees might have remained unexposed for what they are. Fox News is now high on the administration's enemies list.

Nothing so epitomizes President Obama's own contempt for American values and traditions like trying to ram two bills through Congress in his first year-- each bill more than a thousand pages long-- too fast for either of them to be read, much less discussed. That he succeeded only the first time says that some people are starting to wake up.

Whether enough people will wake up in time to keep America from being dismantled, piece by piece, is another question-- and the biggest question for this generation."

Obama continues to get a pass

  Lots of time spent playing golf? Attempting to intimidate the media? Making secret deals with big business? Spending public money to jet off to more than 24 fundraisers in 9 months?

  If George Bush had done it, the media and interest groups would have been screaming. But when it’s Obama, all is well.

  Politico (surprisingly) looks at how gently the media is treating Obama.

A study in social progress: Joe Biden moves up from publicly funded transit to public housing.

The AP reports that Amtrak loses $42 per passenger. Joe Biden used to brag about taking Amtrak to work everyday. I wonder how much it cost taxpayers to get Joe to work? Now he’s moved up to public housing.

“U.S. taxpayers spent about $32 subsidizing the cost of the typical Amtrak passenger in 2008, about four times the rail operator's estimate, according to a private study.

Amtrak operates a nationwide rail network, serving more than 500 destinations in 46 states. Forty-one of Amtrak's 44 routes lost money in 2008, said the study by Subsidyscope, an arm of the Pew Charitable Trusts.

Stephen Van Beek, president of the Eno Transportation Foundation, a think tank, said the analysis could help guide decisions on how to spend $8 billion set aside for high-speed and intercity rail in a $787 billion economic stimulus bill. Rail planners may decide that spending the funds on high-speed rail makes more sense than slower intercity rail, which the Amtrak numbers show need higher subsidies.”

You must stop eating meat – but your masters don’t need to.

  Enviro wackos are ramping up their ranting on imaginary “climate change” in anticipation of a great meeting in Copenhagen where fascists and socialists will make another attempt to gain control of the world and every person living and to be born.

  Now the widely debunked British Lord Stern is trying again:

“People will need to consider turning vegetarian if the world is to conquer climate change, according to a leading authority on global warming.

In an interview with The Times, Lord Stern of Brentford said: “Meat is a wasteful use of water and creates a lot of greenhouse gases. It puts enormous pressure on the world’s resources. A vegetarian diet is better.”

Direct emissions of methane from cows and pigs is a significant source of greenhouse gases. Methane is 23 times more powerful than carbon dioxide as a global warming gas.

Lord Stern, the author of the influential 2006 Stern Review on the cost of tackling global warming, said that a successful deal at the Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen in December would lead to soaring costs for meat and other foods that generate large quantities of greenhouse gases.”

  You shouldn’t have children so people in third world countries may, said another Britisher. Now you can’t eat meat. Read down and you’ll see the restriction doesn’t apply to him.

Don’t you be viewing, listening to or viewing any purported news if it don’t have this Seal of Approval (White House Grammar Approved)

Obama ignores 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. What does that tell you?

“Barack Obama, who found time to go on a 24-hour jaunt to Copenhagen on Oct. 2 to seek the 2016 Olympics games for Chicago, apparently cannot find the time for a 24-hour trip to Berlin on Nov. 9 for a celebration of the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall.”

  Barack Obama found the time and the money to stage a meaningless campaign stunt in Berlin, puffing up the crowd with a rock concert beforehand.

  The fall of the Berlin Wall was a significant event in world history, a major event. It signified a victory for the spread of democracy and freedom. But Obama can’t find the time to commemorate this great event.

  Of course, Obama couldn’t find the courage to energetically support the Iranians protesting the theft of their votes or the invasion of Georgia. Obama is simply not excited by democracy or freedom.

   Every day it becomes clearer that Obama is not a small “d” democrat. In fact, he may indeed by a big “A” Autocrat at heart and should be carefully watched and feared.
