Word of the Day: Ineptocracy
A system of government wherein the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and wherein the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers.

Letter to Diane Feinstein
This is a letter to Diane Feinstein from a fellow Marine veteran. It reflects my exact sentiments to her and other un-American hypocrites like her.
Senator Dianne Feinstein,
I will not register my weapons should this bill be passed, as I do not believe it is the government’s right to know what I own. Nor do I think it prudent to tell you what I own so that it may be taken from me by a group of people who enjoy armed protection yet decry me having the same a crime. You ma’am have overstepped a line that is not your domain. I am a Marine Corps Veteran of 8 years, and I will not have some woman who proclaims the evil of an inanimate object, yet carries one, tell me I may not have one.
I am not your subject. I am the man who keeps you free. I am not your servant. I am the person whom you serve. I am not your peasant. I am the flesh and blood of America.
I am the man who fought for my country. I am the man who learned. I am an American. You will not tell me that I must register my semi-automatic AR-15 because of the actions of some evil man.
I will not be disarmed to suit the fear that has been established by the media and your misinformation campaign against the American public.
We, the people, deserve better than you.
Respectfully Submitted,
Joshua Boston

Irony At Its Best
Meanwhile, the National Park Service, administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, asks us to "Please Do Not Feed The Animals." They say that this is because the animals may grow dependent on handouts and not learn to take care of themselves.

Put Me In Charge
—————————
This was written by a 21 yr old female who gets it. It’s her future she’s worried about and this is how she feels about the social welfare big government state that she’s being forced to live in! These solutions are just common sense in her opinion.
This was in the Waco Tribune Herald, , Nov 18, 2011
PUT ME IN CHARGE . . .
Put me in charge of food stamps. I’d get rid of Lone Star cards; no cash for Ding Dongs or Ho Ho’s, just money for 50-pound bags of rice and beans, blocks of cheese and all the powdered milk you can haul away. If you want steak and frozen pizza, then get a job.
Put me in charge of Medicaid. The first thing I’d do is to get women Norplant birth control implants or tubal legations. Then, we’ll test recipients for drugs, alcohol, and nicotine. If you want to reproduce or use drugs, alcohol, or smoke, then get a job.
Put me in charge of government housing. Ever live in a military barracks? You will maintain our property in a clean and good state of repair. Your home” will be subject to inspections anytime and possessions will be inventoried. If you want a plasma TV or Xbox 360, then get a job and your own place.
In addition, you will either present a check stub from a job each week or you will report to a “government” job. It may be cleaning the roadways of trash, painting and repairing public housing, whatever we find for you. We will sell your 22 inch rims and low profile tires and your blasting stereo and speakers and put that money toward the “common good..”
Before you write that I’ve violated someone’s rights, realize that all of the above is voluntary. If you want our money, accept our rules. Before you say that this would be “demeaning” and ruin their “self esteem,” consider that it wasn’t that long ago that taking someone else’s money for doing absolutely nothing was demeaning and lowered self esteem.
If we are expected to pay for other people’s mistakes we should at least attempt to make them learn from their bad choices. The current system rewards them for continuing to make bad choices.
AND While you are on Gov’t subsistence, you no longer can VOTE! Yes, that is correct. For you to vote would be a conflict of interest. You will voluntarily remove yourself from voting while you are receiving a Gov’t welfare check. If you want to vote, then get a job.

We've Become a Nation of Takers, Not Makers
From: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704050204576219073867182108.html
===========================================================
We've Become a Nation of Takers, Not Makers
More Americans work for the government than in manufacturing, farming, fishing, forestry, mining and utilities combined.
By Stephen Moore
If you want to understand better why so many states—from New York to Wisconsin to California—are teetering on the brink of bankruptcy, consider this depressing statistic: Today in America there are nearly twice as many people working for the government (22.5 million) than in all of manufacturing (11.5 million). This is an almost exact reversal of the situation in 1960, when there were 15 million workers in manufacturing and 8.7 million collecting a paycheck from the government.
It gets worse. More Americans work for the government than work in construction, farming, fishing, forestry, manufacturing, mining and utilities combined. We have moved decisively from a nation of makers to a nation of takers. Nearly half of the $2.2 trillion cost of state and local governments is the $1 trillion-a-year tab for pay and benefits of state and local employees. Is it any wonder that so many states and cities cannot pay their bills?
Steve Moore has the details on Rep. Paul Ryan's plan to cut spending.
Every state in America today except for two—Indiana and Wisconsin—has more government workers on the payroll than people manufacturing industrial goods. Consider California, which has the highest budget deficit in the history of the states. The not-so Golden State now has an incredible 2.4 million government employees—twice as many as people at work in manufacturing. New Jersey has just under two-and-a-half as many government employees as manufacturers. Florida's ratio is more than 3 to 1. So is New York's.
Even Michigan, at one time the auto capital of the world, and Pennsylvania, once the steel capital, have more government bureaucrats than people making things. The leaders in government hiring are Wyoming and New Mexico, which have hired more than six government workers for every manufacturing worker.
Now it is certainly true that many states have not typically been home to traditional manufacturing operations. Iowa and Nebraska are farm states, for example. But in those states, there are at least five times more government workers than farmers. West Virginia is the mining capital of the world, yet it has at least three times more government workers than miners. New York is the financial capital of the world—at least for now. That sector employs roughly 670,000 New Yorkers. That's less than half of the state's 1.48 million government employees.
Don't expect a reversal of this trend anytime soon. Surveys of college graduates are finding that more and more of our top minds want to work for the government. Why? Because in recent years only government agencies have been hiring, and because the offer of near lifetime security is highly valued in these times of economic turbulence. When 23-year-olds aren't willing to take career risks, we have a real problem on our hands. Sadly, we could end up with a generation of Americans who want to work at the Department of Motor Vehicles.
The employment trends described here are explained in part by hugely beneficial productivity improvements in such traditional industries as farming, manufacturing, financial services and telecommunications. These produce far more output per worker than in the past. The typical farmer, for example, is today at least three times more productive than in 1950.
Where are the productivity gains in government? Consider a core function of state and local governments: schools. Over the period 1970-2005, school spending per pupil, adjusted for inflation, doubled, while standardized achievement test scores were flat. Over roughly that same time period, public-school employment doubled per student, according to a study by researchers at the University of Washington. That is what economists call negative productivity.
But education is an industry where we measure performance backwards: We gauge school performance not by outputs, but by inputs. If quality falls, we say we didn't pay teachers enough or we need smaller class sizes or newer schools. If education had undergone the same productivity revolution that manufacturing has, we would have half as many educators, smaller school budgets, and higher graduation rates and test scores.
The same is true of almost all other government services. Mass transit spends more and more every year and yet a much smaller share of Americans use trains and buses today than in past decades. One way that private companies spur productivity is by firing underperforming employees and rewarding excellence. In government employment, tenure for teachers and near lifetime employment for other civil servants shields workers from this basic system of reward and punishment. It is a system that breeds mediocrity, which is what we've gotten.
Most reasonable steps to restrain public-sector employment costs are smothered by the unions. Study after study has shown that states and cities could shave 20% to 40% off the cost of many services—fire fighting, public transportation, garbage collection, administrative functions, even prison operations—through competitive contracting to private providers. But unions have blocked many of those efforts. Public employees maintain that they are underpaid relative to equally qualified private-sector workers, yet they are deathly afraid of competitive bidding for government services.
President Obama says we have to retool our economy to "win the future." The only way to do that is to grow the economy that makes things, not the sector that takes things.

Open Letter to Gloria Estefan
This is great, had to share…
By Victoria Jackson
© 2010
Editor’s note: The following open letter was first submitted to the Miami Herald, but the paper opted not to publish it.
Miami is my hometown. When I was born at Hialeah Hospital in 1959, you were 2 years old and moving here from Cuba, to escape Communism.
America and its freedom, free enterprise and capitalism gave you the opportunity to become a superstar, to be financially and vocationally successful.
America is now under siege by a Marxist, progressive, leftist, radical, socialist, communist dictator drunk with power. His name is Obama.
You invited him to your home on April 15, 2010, for a Democratic fundraiser.
1. His parents were communists. His grandparents were communists. His childhood mentor Frank Davis was a communist.
2. He had “Marxist professors.” He taught a class on Saul Alinsky whose book “Rules for Radicals” is dedicated to Lucifer.
3. His college records are sealed.
4. He claims to be a Christian yet ridicules Scripture, denies Jesus is the only way to salvation, supports partial-birth abortion and attended a church for 20 years pastored by Rev. Jeremiah Wright, who did not teach Christianity but “Black Liberation Theology,” which is Marxism disguised as religion.
5. He is friends with radicals and communists like William Ayers and has appointed many of them to positions of power – Sunstein, Jarrett, Van Jones, etc.
6. He told Joe the Plumber on the campaign trail that his philosophy was to “spread the wealth.” This is a direct quote from “The Communist Manifesto” written by Karl Marx and Fredrich Engels.
7. When he entered office he immediately took over the banks, the auto industry, health care (by bribery) and is intent on ending freedom of speech on the Internet, radio and TV by fees and fines. He is intent on using the myth of human-caused global warming to usurp control over our energy by Cap ‘n Tax, which would limit the number of minutes we take a shower and the kind of light bulbs we use.
8. His arrogant, excessive spending, with his stimulus laws and over-taxation, is destroying our economy, the middle class and our children’s future quality of life.
You had the audacity to invite this communist over to your home to raise money for the Democratic Party, which is controlling Congress and giving him unlimited power to achieve his goal of making our once-free country a welfare state, just like the Cuba you left.
You are either uninformed, ignorant or crazy.
Estudio Espanol dos anos en mi escuela secundario, y I think you are loco en la cabeza.
I ask my Cuban friends and neighbors what happened to you. Don’t you remember where you came from? Your father in a Cuban communist jail? They shake their heads sadly.
You spit on the free country that gave you the American Dream.
I urge you to educate yourself on what is happening in America today. Nov. 2 is the most serious vote of our nation’s history. We will vote in either liberty or tyranny.
How can you vote in tyranny when your family and friends risked their lives on rafts to escape it?
I don’t understand you.
Sincerely,
Victoria Jackson (“Saturday Night Live” cast member 1986-1992 because of capitalism/freedom)

Want to know what government healthcare is like?
As obama and the liberals/socialists/communists push through their illegal and unconstitutional government takeover of our nation's healthcare system, some of us wonder what it will be like if they succeed. The article below is just one of the thousands shining examples of how good it will be if obama succeeds:
From BBC News: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/8531441.stm
By Nick Triggle
Health reporter, BBC News
Hospital patients were left "sobbing and humiliated" by uncaring staff, an investigation into one of the worst NHS scandals in history has found.
The independent inquiry claimed the Mid Staffordshire NHS Trust had become driven by targets and cost-cutting.
The report - the latest in a long line of critical reviews - said the distress and suffering had been "unimaginable".
Last year it was reported there were at least 400 more deaths than expected at the trust from 2005 to 2008.
But the relatives of patients treated there said many questions still remained unanswered.
In particular, they want a public inquiry into how the scandal could have happened, including the role of the wider NHS in the case.
BBC health reporter Nick Triggle
The poor treatment patients received is now well documented. But what remains unclear is why it was not picked up earlier.
The hospital would have been monitored by a primary care trust, strategic health authority and host of patient safety agencies, but none picked up the problems. In fact, the SHA even dismissed concerns about high death rates at one point.
At the same time, the trust which runs the hospital was able to climb the NHS ratings system and was approved for foundation trust status during the period.
In the end, it took a private research group, Dr Foster, to flag up concerns which helped prompt the regulator to look into the issue and publish its findings last year.
The trust had been climbing the NHS ratings ladder during the period in question and was even given elite foundation trust status.
The Tories have said they would back a public inquiry, but ministers have so far resisted.
Instead, they set up this inquiry, led by Robert Francis QC, which has been held in private and mainly focused on what happened inside the trust and in particular Stafford Hospital, one of two run by the organisation.
Following publication of the inquiry report, the government said Mr Francis would now be allowed to look into the regulation and monitoring issues.
Stafford Hospital hit the headlines last year when a report was published by the Healthcare Commission claiming patients had been "dying needlessly" and put the number of excess deaths at more than 400.
It reported a catalogue of shocking examples, including cases where unqualified receptionists assessed people as they arrived at A&E.
The findings were then followed by two government reviews.
'Routinely neglected'
This latest report also outlines instances where patients were "routinely neglected".
It documents cases where patients were left in soiled sheets which relatives were forced to wash.
And it highlights examples where patients were left alone, leading to falls - some fatal, which were not reported.
And one woman, who gave evidence, told the inquiry: "My Mum was in absolute agony, I can hear her screams now, as I walked into the ward."
Half of the patients and relatives who gave evidence also cited problems getting enough food and drink.
The report criticised the "ineffective" management which was too often concerned with hitting targets, particularly in A&E, as well as the "lack of compassion" and "uncaring attitude" of staff.
But staffing levels were also said to be too low because the trust was trying to slash costs by £10m.
Julie Bailey, whose mother died at the hospital and the founder of the victims' campaign group Cure the NHS, said the handling of the scandal had been "disgraceful and unacceptable" - and reiterated her call for a public inquiry.
"It is time that the public were told the truth about the very large number of excess deaths of patients in NHS care and the very large number of avoidable but deadly errors that occur in NHS hospitals every day."
Since the original Healthcare Commission report, inspectors have been carrying out regular checks and have said care is now safe, although some problems persist over staffing and equipment.
The chief executive and chairman in charge during the period in question have been replaced and the General Medical Council and Nursing and Midwifery Council are investigating some of the staff involved.
Sir Stephen Moss, the new chairman of the trust, said: "I would like to apologise unreservedly for the harm and distress that people suffered during that time and thank those who spoke to the Inquiry.
"Their courage in coming forward has helped us learn from the errors of the past and to make changes that have already improved our services".
Health Secretary Andy Burnham said there could be "no excuses" for the failings.
But he added: "This was ultimately a local failure, but it is vital that we learn the lessons nationally to ensure that it won't happen again - we expect everyone in the NHS to read the report and act on it."
But Patients Association president Claire Rayner said: "The scale of problems at Stafford might have been unique but failures in essential nursing care are not."

Obama creates a budget deficit task force?
That is like Charles Manson leading the call for a crackdown on violent crime.
Obama and the current liberal-controlled congress have become the epitome of reckless spending, all the while blaming George Bush. Obama has quadrupled the deficit in less than a year. No other president in history has ever come close to that. Even Bush’s worst year of spending, his last year, pales in comparison with the monstrous numbers seen now. There is a reason I see so many bumper stickers that read: “Don’t tell Obama what comes after a trillion.”
With the recent loss of a once secure democrat senate seat to the republicans, combined with other telling elections that reflect the people’s disgust at his socialist policies, obama finally recognizes he is no longer fooling the gullible masses just with his teleprompted words. He wants to paint himself as fiscally responsible, so he is creating this task force, even as he continues pushing legislation and policies that will increase the deficit exponentially.
I certainly hope enough people are wise to this crap in time to stop it.

The Ant and the Grasshopper
Versions................... Two Different Morals
OLD VERSION
The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his
house and laying up supplies for the winter.
The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays
the summer away..
Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed.
The grasshopper has no food or shelter, so he dies out in the cold.
MORAL OF THE STORY: Be responsible for yourself!
MODERN VERSION
The ant works hard in the withering heat and the rain all summer long,
building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.
The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays
the summer away.
Come winter, the shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and
demands to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed
while he is cold and starving.
CBS, NBC , PBS, CNN, and ABC show up to provide pictures of the shivering
grasshopper next to a video of the ant in his comfortable home with a
table filled with food.
America is stunned by the sharp contrast.
How can this be, that in a country of such wealth, this poor grasshopper
is allowed to suffer so?
Kermit the Frog appears on Oprah with the grasshopper and everybody cries
when they sing, 'It's Not Easy Being Green.'
ACORN stages a demonstration in front of the ant's house where the news
stations film the group singing, "We shall overcome." Then Rev. Jeremiah
Wright has the group kneel down to pray to God for the grasshopper's
sake.
President Obama condemns the ant and blames President Bush, President
Reagan, Christopher Columbus, and the Pope for the grasshopper's plight.
Nancy Pelosi & Harry Reid exclaim in an interview with Larry King that the
ant has gotten rich off the back of the grasshopper, and both call for an
immediate tax hike on the ant to make him pay his fair share.
Finally, the EEOC drafts the Economic Equity & Anti-Grasshopper Act
retroactive to the beginning of the summer.
The ant is fined for failing to hire a proportionate number of green bugs
and, having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, his home is
confiscated by the Government Green Czar and given to the grasshopper.
The story ends as we see the grasshopper and his free-loading friends
finishing up the last bits of the ant's food while the government house he
is in, which, as you recall, just happens to be the ant's old house,
crumbles around them because the grasshopper doesn't maintain it.
The ant has disappeared in the snow, never to be seen again.
The grasshopper is found dead in a drug related incident, and the house,
now abandoned, is taken over by a gang of spiders who terrorize the
ramshackle, once prosperous and once peaceful, neighborhood..
The entire Nation collapses bringing the rest of the free world with it.
MORAL OF THE STORY: Be careful how you vote in 2010.
I've sent this to you because I believe that you are an ant - not a
grasshopper ! Make sure that you pass this on to other ants. Don't
bother sending it on to any grasshoppers because they wouldn't understand
it, anyway.

The Real Recession
For years the democrats worked tirelessly to redefine 'recession' in order to fabricate a recession during the Bush administration. Last year they finally convinced enough people to believe their new definition to believe we were really in a recession. They even convinced the National Bureau of Economic Research to redefine recession (no doubt through their usual back room underhanded dealings) and publish a report stating the U.S. was in a recession.
The correct definition of a recession is two consecutive quarters of negative economic growth as measured by the gross domestic product (GDP). This did not happen at any time during the Bush administration. This did happen during the first two quarters of the Obama administration. Yes, we have all heard the same old excuse that he "inherited the mess". Obama had already worn that line out before he stepped foot in the white house.
The primary cause of the economic downturn was subprime home loans. Where did these come from? The democrats and their entitlement programs. Years ago (near the beginning of the Clinton administration) they forced into being the subprime market by strong-arm tactics that led to insurance companies being forced to give out home loans to people that could not afford them. The liberals think that home ownership is a right that everyone should enjoy, whether or not they can pay for it. When these mortgages entered the market, the market did what it does with everything, buy, sell, trade. That is what the market does. That is what it has always done. As if this wasn't bad enough, the liberals with the help of groups like the NAACP, ACORN (with obama's assistance as an ACORN lawyer) forced mortgage companies into even higher risk subprime loans with the threat of racism lawsuits and other lowhanded tactics, all in the name of "equality", meaning that everyone should own a home whether or not they can afford it. So the market was flooded with these subprime loans, which were extremely high risk. As with most things that involve excessive risk, the bubble eventually burst which started the economic downturn. Liberals led the charge to blame President Bush and Wall Street, backed up by the liberal media.
Obama comes along and paints himself as a savior (even though he helped create the problem). He takes advantage of the situation to force his socialist agenda, with government takeovers of banks and mortgage companies, and government control of auto manufacturers and other companies. With the label of "stimulus", combined with all sorts of promises and lies to fix everything, he initially has success with his socialism push. The next step was government healthcare. This is a much harder sell because people have had time to wake up and realize his socialist agenda. With all the stuff he has pushed through, he has quadrupled the national deficit, spent more than all other presidents combined in a short amount of time, crippled and destroyed companies and industries, and doing major damage to our country. He promised that if his "stimulus" plan was passed unemployment would never go above 8%. Well the "stimulus" was passed and here we are at 10% unemployment and rising. The dollar is at its lowest value in a very long time, and the rest of the world wants to dump it as the de facto world currency. We are in record debt to China and other countries. With the announcement of the rise in GDP this past quarter, the liberals are all too happy to say that Obama has stopped the recession, backed up by the liberal (state-run) media. This temporary rise in GDP is more about deceit than anything, as time will show. The worst is yet to come, and the Obama depression is only getting started.

Liberals Pull Out the Race Card
Now that obama and his bad policies are more unpopular than ever with Americans, liberals are doing what they always do when they lose an argument: create a diversion by fabricating an issue.
Although I really hate that liberals do this sort of thing as standard practice, I take this as a good sign that popular opinion is heading in the right direction. Obama has suddenly discovered that the mere sound of his tele-prompted voice is no longer enough to make the people swoon and follow him like lost puppies. People are finally waking up to see him, his administration, the dems, and all their crap they are trying to pull over on us, and they don't like it. They are tired of hearing the same crap over and over again from the administration, and no answers to their questions. They are tired of being attacked for merely voicing an opinion or asking a question. Obama and the dems do not want to debate anything because they are afraid of an honest debate. Those who have an habitual problem with honesty and truth run away from it. So, they have fabricated and orchestrated a race issue to divert from the real issues. The state-run media are also publishing editorials about racism against obama.
Sure, I know there are racists out there, no doubt. But, you can't argue racism for people that voted for obama that have changed their minds after realizing they were wrong. You can't argue racism when a large portion of the people speaking out against this communist takeover are blacks and other minorities.
I'm hoping that Americans will see through this lie too.
