Jag Of The Week goes to not just one person, but rather an entire group. The group ACORN is perhaps the biggest group of Jags I’ve ever witnessed. They are everything that is wrong with America.

Just watch this video and you will understand why ACORN members are the Jag Of The Week.

Obama’s Schadenfreude; Heather Higgins: Townhall.com Columnist

// February 24th, 2009 // No Comments » // 2009-2010, POLITICAL ARENA

Great column by Heater Higgins of Townhall.com today. Everyone should read Obama Schadenfreude

The seeming indifference of this Administration to the steady and precipitous decline of the market since President Obama’s election should surprise no one. One has only to look at the President’s past to gauge the prism through which he sees the present… and the future.

Many on Wall Street and Main Street voted for Obama hoping that he would be bipartisan, above politics, and, for many, rein in spending and deficits. They thought his left-wing associations and votes were purely the artifact of necessity and political ambition. When the credit and liquidity crunch hit, they thought Obama would be smart enough to fix it (which presumes, of course, that it can be “fixed”).But this was a triumph of hope over observation. We have elected a president who has no real business or investment experience. His only notable for-profit venture was selling his book; as a law professor, community organizer, and legislator, he operated in redistributionist worlds where wealth, garnered from contributions or taxes, is received and redistributed. In those spheres there’s a seemingly bottomless well of funds, but unlike the for-profit world there can be a disjunction between your customers and your funding. At a non-profit, revenue comes from cajoling funders (who care about students or community residents, but who are not themselves the users of the non-profit’s services); in government, revenue is derived by forcing taxpayers – many of whom are not that legislator’s voters – to pay more.

Frank Rich Sure Has A Man Crush

// February 16th, 2009 // No Comments » // 2009-2010, POLITICAL ARENA

After reading an Op-Ed piece in the New York Times by Frank Rich entitled: “They Sure Showed That Obama” I sat at my desk marveling at how moronic and just plain ignorant Frank Rich is.

Rich claims that Obama “outwitted” Republicans and those in opposition to the so-called stimulus bill. They were “played for fools again”, gloats Rich. It seems more likely to me that Frank Rich is still on bended knee worshiping the great Obama.

The idea that Obama somehow “outwitted” the oppositions is idiotic. Perhaps Rich has forgotten that the Democrats control the House and the Senate. With or without the help of a few RINO’s they can get any bill passed that they please.  Obama did not play anyone for a fool. The only fools are the ones who voted for this bill.

Rich takes the the opposition to task for claiming that the Obama Administration has “lost control”. NEWS FLASH TO FRANK RICH: THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION HAS LOST CONTROL. In fact, they are off to a terrible start. His administration is made up of tax cheats and lobbyists. Where’s the change? If this was a Republican in the White House Frank Rich along with the media would be blasting the administration.

Rich claims that the GOP has hurt themselves by voting no on this PORK BILL.  Mr. Rich, the GOP has never been more fired up. The base of the party has been longing for a return to Reagan-ism and conservative values. The American people were not given that choice during the ’08 Election, but they will be given the choice in 2012.

The Democrats own this bill. They own the next four years. This is their economy. They will be held accountable for their votes and the results thereof.

Mr. Rich, you should be asking why Congress passed a $787 billion dollar bill without even reading it first. Instead of pitching a tent for Obama and his supposed victory, why not question Obama and his party about the lack of transparency surrounding this bill. Perhaps Mr. Rich, you could ask Reid why the bill includes funding for his long sought after railroad. Why not ask Pelosi how saving her mouse will help the economy?

I suppose you’d rather play it safe and stroke Obama’s ego. For you to make the passing of the stimulus bill out to be some kind of brilliant win by Obama only makes it clear that you have a man crush on Obama.

Ruin Your Health With the Obama Stimulus Plan: Betsy McCaughey

THIS IS A MUST READ.

Ruin Your Health With the Obama Stimulus Plan: Betsy McCaughey

Feb. 9 (Bloomberg) — Republican Senators are questioning whether President Barack Obama’s stimulus bill contains the right mix of tax breaks and cash infusions to jump-start the economy.

Tragically, no one from either party is objecting to the health provisions slipped in without discussion. These provisions reflect the handiwork of Tom Daschle, until recently the nominee to head the Health and Human Services Department.

Senators should read these provisions and vote against them because they are dangerous to your health. (Page numbers refer to H.R. 1 EH, pdf version).

The bill’s health rules will affect “every individual in the United States” (445, 454, 479). Your medical treatments will be tracked electronically by a federal system. Having electronic medical records at your fingertips, easily transferred to a hospital, is beneficial. It will help avoid duplicate tests and errors.

But the bill goes further. One new bureaucracy, the National Coordinator of Health Information Technology, will monitor treatments (Read The Full Article)

Jag Of The Week

// February 8th, 2009 // 1 Comment » // 2009-2010, Jag Of The Week

A couple of weeks ago I announced a new weekly feature called, “Winners and Losers Of The Week”. I have been racking my brilliant mind all week trying to come up with a better name for this new feature. I have a fondness for the word bastard, but felt it might be to offensive to some. When I moved to the Midwest I latched on to a new word. Jag. For those of you who don’t know what a Jag is, allow me to explain. According to Urban Dictionary a Jag is “an irritating individual with no sense of a social filter and no realization of the implication of his actions; socially inept.” What better way to describe many of the Jags who will be named Jag Of The Week. 

Without further ado, I present to you the first ever Jag Of The Week. This week we have a three-way tie. And the Jags are…Arlen Specter, Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe. These Jags have turned their back on America for political gain and for that they are the Jags Of The Week.

The Three Little GOP Pigs

// February 7th, 2009 // 1 Comment » // 2009-2010, POLITICAL ARENA

Any Republican who has America’s best interest in mind has no business working with Democrats in getting this Obama Porkulus Scam passed. Sadly, the Democrats have found three sellouts amongst the Republicans. The three little GOP pigs are none other than, Arlen Specter of  Pennsylvania, Susan Collins of Maine and Olympia Snowe, also of Maine.

These RINOs should be thrown out of the party. I wonder how much money they were promised for their district by Reid. How much did it cost for Reid to buy their support? These three lowlifes have revealed that they do not serve the American people, but rather their self-interest. They have chosen political favor over the good of the country.

These three pigs are a disgrace! This bill does nothing to keep families in homes. It does not put money in our wallets via real tax cuts. It doesn’t create solid, long-term jobs. This only expands the size of government and keeps millions of Americans dependent upon Big Brother.

On a further note, Obama has already proven that he does not know how to lead. As he made his T.V. rounds this week he should have had a banner behind entitled, “The Obama Fear Mongering Tour.” He has acted irresponsible in his quest to get this socialist bill passed. And here’s a message to all the liberal bloggers and media snobs. THIS IS NOT A BIPARTISIAN BILL. I’ve already seen some headlines claiming that this is bipartisan. THREE GOP VOTES DOES NOT EQUAL BIPARTISIANSHIP. The Democrats own this bill, they just don’t want to go down alone.

Glenn Beck : The Road To Socialism

// February 5th, 2009 // 1 Comment » // 2009-2010, ECONOMY

Glenn Beck says, “Our very country is at stake.” In this short video clip Beck reveals that Obama is taking us down the road to socialism. He’s right on. Below the video I have included the transcript. Watch Beck as, “When did socialism become a happy thing for us?” .

GLENN BECK, HOST: Hey, does anybody notice this crazy thing that we’re on the road to socialism? I’m just saying. Wow. We got — we got the SCHIPs thing going for us. That’s great. There is the change that we were all hoping for, really, seriously.

Hey, I got an idea. If we’re going down the road to socialism, I mean, why not really go for it, huh?

(MUSIC)

BECK: Comrades, good news from the western front, our glorious revolution is starting to take hold. Oh, the revolution of change. Our fearless leader has just signed in SCHIPs, and earlier today, he spoke out against capitalism. Listen up.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

OBAMA: As part of the reforms we’re announcing today, top executives at firms receiving extraordinary help from U.S. taxpayers will have their compensation capped at $500,000, a fraction of the salaries that have been reported recently.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

BECK: Now, those capitalists will say that the mother country shouldn’t decide anyone’s salary, only because, you know those capitalists will say they shouldn’t have been bailed out in the first place. But what would you expect a capitalist to say?

Also in the news today, our workers are uniting. They’re in the nation’s capital to improve the life of you. The average worker with a union card check. That way, you can unionize everything. Now again, the capitalists will say, “Oh, gee, that’s wrong, because secret ballots are part of the American way of life.” Of course, they would say that! But I remind you, what do they know about their way of life?

Good heavens! What? Could we stop the music? What the heck is happening to us? I’m watching — I’m listening to the president just a few minutes ago, and I’m like — you got to be kidding me, right? I mean, this is just the first step. Oh, good. Well, let’s not even debate it; let’s just rush it in on an emergency.

Tonight — I’m going to tie some of these things together — how the government is moving to nationalize our banks. Does that sound like a good idea to anybody? We’re setting salary caps for bailed-out company executives, and let me tell you something — this one I’m actually for. But wait until you hear me explain it.

The dangers of the union card check tonight. The move towards universal healthcare, insuring the SCHIPs to insure kids — kids, by the way, now defined by our government as people who are 30 years old. If that’s my kid, get the hell out of my house.

(LAUGHTER)

BECK: You might say, “Oh, Glenn, that’s crazy talk, they’re still our children.” No, they’re not! You live in my house and you need my insurance, get the hell out of my house and get a job, deadbeat! But maybe that’s just me.

I’m going to show you how all of these things — Aaron (ph), I just love you. I wanted to show you how these things are happening today and they line up with some of the goings-on in history’s worst socialist- fascist countries. When did socialism become a happy thing for us? These people may not be taking us on the same road that fascist dictators took the rest of the world on a long time ago, but they’re using the same tactics and the same propaganda.

Our very country is at stake when people use emergencies to quickly shove down programs down our throats without any discussion. But why would I — why would I expect otherwise? After all, isn’t it global warming? They all say, “Oh, the discussion is over, you flat-earther, you holocaust denier.”

House Republicans Say No To Pork Plan

// January 29th, 2009 // 2 Comments » // 2009-2010, ECONOMY

For sometime I have been considering leaving the Republican party. As Obama mania grows throughout the country I have feared that the Republicans would continue to forsake conservative values and choose popularity over principle.

After hearing the news that not a single Republican voted for the Obama pork plan I have reconsidered leaving the party…for now. This was the right thing to do! This is no stimulus. The only thing it stimulates is the coffers of the democrat’s, lobbyists and special interests. This plan does nothing for you or me. It’s irresponsible and insulting.

I hope the GOP continues to do the right thing. While I am optimistic that they may have finally come to their senses, I will continue to watch their actions throughout Obama’s term.

Though Obama’s plan will ultimately get passed after a Senate vote, the finger cannot be pointed at the House Republicans when this thing fails.

Great Job House Republicans. I hope the GOP  Senate follows suit.

Rush Limbaugh Under Attack By Dems

// January 28th, 2009 // 6 Comments » // 2009-2010, POLITICAL ARENA

The silencing of dissent has begun. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has started a petition against Rush Limbaugh. The DCCC is attacking Rush over the following comment:

“If I wanted Obama to succeed, I’d be happy the Republicans have laid down,” Limbaugh said last week. “I don’t want this to work. So I’m thinking of replying to this guy, say ‘okay, I’ll send you a response, but I don’t need 400 words, I need four: I hope he fails’.”

Unsurprisingly these liberals have taken Rush’s comments out of context. When Rush says “I hope he fails.”, he is speaking of Obama’s policies and Obama’s war on prosperity. If Obama seeks to push his socialist and liberal agenda, for the good of the country he must fail.

These democrats along with the new administration including Obama himself have begun laying the groundwork for censorship and the silencing of dissent. The “fairness” doctrine is not far away! I never thought I’d hear the President of The United States attack a private citizen. Obama told GOP leaders, “You can’t just listen to Rush Limbaugh and get things done.” In other words he is saying, Stop listening to alternative view points. Didn’t Obama say that he was open to all ideas? So much for change. I’ll tell you one thing that won’t change. No one, including the President is going to tell me who to listen to.

We can’t allow voices such as Rush, Hannity and Levin to be silenced. When these liberal cowards attack Rush they attack conservatives as a whole. You can stand with Rush. Over at RushLimbaugh.com Rush has a link to the DCCC petition page asking those who wish to send a message of love and support to him via the petition. Love it Rush! In addition Rush has started a reverse petition again via the DCCC’s own website. You can follow the links over at RushLimbaugh.com. We have also provided the links below. THE FIGHT FOR CONSERVATIVE VALUES IS ON!

Reverse Petition: Click here to tell the DCCC and all other Democrats it is time to stop lying about and distorting Rush’s comments on Barack Obama’s War on Prosperity.

New Feature

// January 26th, 2009 // 2 Comments » // Jag Of The Week

Soon I will be starting a new feature at MonkeyCrash called “Losers and Winners” of the week. It’s similar to O’Rielly’s Pinheads and Patriots. Okay, it’s the exact same thing. The name “Losers and Winners”  is generic for now as my mind could not come up with anything more snazzy. This will be a weekly feature.
