Rev. Al Sharpton Led a protest where protestors demanded “…easier access to jobs” as though jobs just “exist” and that these poor people are being kept from them. It’s really too bad that so few in America today understand the basics of economics, yet we now give college degrees in every politically correct issue there is.

Someone has to have a dream, an idea or a goal. They then have to pursue it against all odds. They usually have to work most of their life away, skipping weekends and vacations. They will work themselves right into the ground and skimp and save everything they can. Most end up having to get loans from banks or investors. Most of these ventures fail and the courageous lose everything. Then…they try again. Finally, a small percentage break through and hire more people to help them attain their goal. This is when and how jobs are created. Sometimes, these ventures go public, meaning that they get investment from Wall Street investors, and then many more jobs are created. Yet, these protestors are vilifying the very people who want to create jobs.

There is government, and there are the people. I am saddened to see these people railing against the people, when it is the government who writes the laws and regulations according to one thing and one thing only… campaign contributions. If protestors would wise up and realize that government is not the solution but the problem, then the people would win.

For generations now, education has been dominated by liberals and they have force-fed their beliefs on generations of kids, who in turn have grown up, become the new teachers and professors and continue the process.
For generations now, Hollywood, TV and Movies have been dominated by liberals and they have force-fed their beliefs on generations of people, who in turn have grown up, become the new stars and they continue the process.

For generations now, the mass-media been dominated by liberals and they have force-fed their beliefs on generations of readers and listeners, who in turn have grown up, become the new anchors and journalists and they continue the process.

For almost 60 years now the liberals have dominated our education, entertainment and media so that they have had complete and total control over the mush that goes into people’s heads. They have allowed no room for conservatives within their ranks. Coming out of the conservative closet has been career suicide.

This is the result. Please people, quit railing against those who want to create jobs and rail against the government who wants you dependent on government. Investors and successful people want to create even more wealth, which requires more investment and more employees. You have been dupped by the media, entertainment and especially your educators throughout your life. Look where it has gotten us. Let’s turn the tide the other way for once and protest against government and in support of the people, us, me and you.

How does your vote influence your income and your life?  President Obama and most of the Democrats have promised Americans that they will tax the rich to pay for America’s opulent and indulgent lifestyle.  In 2007 and 2008, Senator Barack Obama traveled the country and even foreign countries promising to punish the rich and “spread the wealth around.

Let’s take a quick look at how this is working out today.  …and by the way, how is your 401k looking now?  How is your property value doing?

I am starting to feel sorry for Congress and the White House administration.  Only now am I starting to realize the depth of their collective disabilities that they are forced to live with.  These poor people are so addicted to spending that they seem to be beyond a cure.  No matter what we say and what we do, they can’t control themselves.  It is an illness that seems to permeate government buildings everywhere you go.

They are like every other kind of addict in that they are in denial and they can’t control themselves.  The 2010 election was like a failed “intervention.”  I’m afraid that it is a mental and behavioral disorder.  Maybe we need to create another whole host of treatment programs, subsidized by even more unfunded federal dollars printed up by our treasury.

“Hello.  My name is Harry Reid.  I have been clean for…well, let’s see…”

I think the only solution now is to build more treasury buildings across the country so they can print and spend money faster.  They have all proven to us that they are beyond a cure.  I give up.  My forehead is bleeding from pounding it against the wall.  My throat is sore from trying to explain to the entitlement 1/2 of the American population that the federal government only has debt, and that the only “money” they appear to have is what they take from us and what they print.  My keyboard is giving out and I don’t know if I can afford a new one.

Let’s just agree to classify their spending addiction as a disability so they can get special protections and spend until they are frothing at the mouth, with their eyes bulging out of the faces and their hands are shaking like any other addict (Nancy Pelosi is already there).  It’s just not fair for the rest of us to keep trying to deny that they are all sick and in need of our understanding.

Give up America.  Just give up.

The Senate is full of criminally-minded barons who think embezzlement is okay for them. If I slipped “earmarks” into my expense reports I would be fired and maybe prosecuted for embezzlement. “Earmarks” is a code word for THINGS THAT WOULD NOT STAND UP ON THEIR OWN MERITS. This is exactly why Congress has the lowest approval rating. It is also similar to smuggling contraband of any sort.  Congressmen go to expensive, private dinner parties and make deals with people promising to slip earmarks into unrelated legislation. After the legislation passes, the Congressmen’s other business associates, brother-in-law or second-cousin-twice-removed benefits from the pork.  The beneficiary then repays the debt with a “special” job for a family member in which they are paid a 6-figure income to “consult” on some “project.”  These jobs usually require about 2 hours per year. Two years in Congress guarantees employment for everyone you know for a lifetime. Don’t you just love it when a Senator’s kid makes $257,000 per year as a transportation or military “consultant” during their sophomore year in college, while studying political science?

Did you know that Congress is exempt from insider trading laws?  This means that Congress and their staff are allowed to invest in companies that have a huge stake in the outcome of legislation, and that includes the not so publicized pork buried within the legislation. This is why so many members of congress become multi-millionaires even though they only make $174,000 per year.  Wise up people!

There is nothing we can do about Democrats who vote for pork, because it is their way.  However, we can go after Republicans who voted to keep their pork?  Thad Cochran (Miss.), Susan Collins (Maine), James Inhofe (Okla.), Dick Lugar (Ind.), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) and Richard Shelby (Ala.).  America, do everything in your power to oust these criminally-minded barons.

Republicans have a serious communication problem.  They just can’t sell their philosophies as well as Democrats.  Well…Captain Clarity is here to provide the clarity that they lack.

Harry Reid said:

“It is unconscionable for Senate Republicans to hold middle-class tax cuts hostage in order to secure more tax giveaways for millionaires and CEOs who ship American jobs overseas,” Reid said. “Today’s declaration by Senate Republicans means they are willing to raise taxes on the middle class and small businesses in the middle of a recession.”

Captain Clarity replies:

1) It is unconscionable for Senate Democrats to hold middle-class tax cuts hostage just because they can’t control their addiction to spending our money.  STOP with your attacks on successful people!  Every company that I have ever worked for was owned by someone making $250,000 per year or more.   These are the very people who will increase or decrease hiring you moron.  If you raise their taxes again, then more of them will not be able to hire all the unemployed people.  2) Allowing people to keep their money that they have earned does not constitute a “tax giveaway;” It is called “allowing people to keep their money that they have earned.”  Congress raising taxes on one group to give it to another is a tax giveaway.  3) A small percentage of CEOs happen to run multi-national corporations, but that does NOT give you the right to accuse all small business owners of shipping jobs overseas.  Stop the class warfare already!  How is it that you have been a government employee since 1966, have never made $200,000 per year, yet you are a multimillionaire? HOW HARRY?  It is really too bad that only the Congress investigates Congress.  That is like asking the fox to investigate who ate the chicken. Read more…

A former friend of mine had a lapse in judgment and put me on his list when he spammed an email in support of Obama. The paragraph below is what he wrote, following that – is what I wrote back:

To all who don’t want the boogey man showing up at their doorstep, armed and demanding food and money. …what is everyone so afraid of ? Obama is the best thing that could’ve happened to us, given the overall current circumstances, he’s good for our foreign public image, the world has thought of us as a bully for years, he will only build good will for us among other countries we will need as allies going forward. The hard core Republicans need to stop being so selfish, spread the wealth, the love, the weed, everything good worth having, stop hoarding it all for themselves. We need less corporate Titans making $25,000,000/yr, and way more hard working, middle Americans making $150,000, so they can send their kids to good schools, and stop living off credit cards. I’m not a flaming liberal, just a frustrated MODERATE, for the wealth disparity is just too much, no wonder we have the highest crime rate in the known world, my uncle always said, “if you don’t give a guy an opportunity to make it, he’s just going to take it….”, a truer thing has never been said.

XXXX,

I took me a long time to write this to you, but I did so because I do believe that there is hope for you. Please take a moment to read my replies below. To be a true Moderate you have to consider facts from both sides. I think the Republican party sucks and Bush blew it. However, Democrats suck harder and Obama is blowing everything. Read more…

Happy Anniversary Mr. President.

President Obama has been in control for one year now so let’s take a look at his accomplishments.

Unemployment is up, and underemployment is even higher. Of course this does not apply to government workers, whose salaries have skyrocketed through the roof. Recent college grads are no longer heading for Wall Street but are opting for Washington DC instead. Everyone says “that’s where the money is!” States, counties and cities across the country are going bankrupt and laying off firefighters, teachers and other government employees, yet bureaucrats seem to be safe, in fact, many of them are giving themselves raises! Additionally, the Feds have contributed large sums of recently printed cash to road construction projects so unemployed teachers could all be applying for all the new (temporary) jobs in road construction. Of course, my 5^th grade teacher was only about 4′ 8”, so I’m not sure what she would do on a road crew.

Attention All African Americans:

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (Democrat-Nevada) insulted African-Americans as a whole for the darkness of their skin, yet the mainstream media and Democrats around the country come to his defense.  More importantly, they are missing the big story:

1) In 2008 Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (Democrat-Nevada) still calls African-Americans “Negros.” 2) Many Democrats say Reid “complimented” Obama’s “light skin” (Obama is 1/2 white after all).  3) They are saying that Reid “complimented” Obama’s dialect stating he had ‘no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one.’”  WHAT RACISTS!

Democratic National Committee Chairman Tim Kaine stated “I think if you look at the reports as I have, it was all in the context of saying positive things about Senator Obama.”  If that was a compliment to Obama, then it is a slap in the face of the rest of African-Americans!!!  WHAT A RACIST!

According to their own spin-machine, being dark-skinned or not speaking with an Anglo-dialect is a negative.  WHAT RACISTS!

Remember when then-Senator Joseph R. Biden Jr. of Delaware told the New York Observer that Mr. Obama was “the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy.”   WHAT A RACIST!

Democrats around the country don’t owe an apology to President Obama, THEY OWE AN APOLOGY TO ALL AFRICAN-AMERICANS!!!  RACISM IS RACISM!

END OF STORY!
