Government Motors, et al… Thursday, May 7 2009 

Axis of Idiots and Comarade Obama and Economics and Truth , , , , 1IDVET 15:33

I have been a GM guy for some time now. I have owned a GMC Yukon XL, a GMC Sierra 2500 HD and a Pontiac Grand Prix over the last 12, or so years.

I considered myself a GM kind of guy. That is until the bailout. Ford did the right thing and said no thanks. We’ll deal with this ourselves. GM and Chrysler decided to try and take the easy way out, hopping on the backs of the tax payer and losing all semblance of a private company in the government’s takeover of the two. Forcing Chrysler to cut a deal with Fiat, firing the CEO of GM and replacing their Board of Directors is not a way to run a business. They should have just filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy from the start, restructured and moved on. They’ll still end up doing that, but have cost the taxpayers billions.

Now that Obama is the CEO of GM, I say kiss my white ass. I won’t buy a GM anymore. Ford just won my business. I think that many Americans may do the same thing. Screw you GM. Why should I pay you more of my hard earned money? You already robbed me once.

Shocker: Ford beats Government Motors in Q1

“Beats” being a relative term of the amount of red ink, of course.  Oddly, the New York Times and the AP neglected to mention this rather notable occurance, but BizzyBlog did the work that American journalists apparently won’t — research.  For the first time in 80 years, Ford outsold GM, bringing in a topline number of $24.8 billion in sales, against the bailed-out automaker’s $22.4 billion.  Both companies had severe reductions in global sales over 2008’s Q1 figures, with Ford losing almost $15 billion in revenue — and GM over $20 billion.

Colin Powel Moron Extraordinaire… Thursday, May 7 2009

Me thinks that Colin Powel should just STFU. He isn’t a Conservative. Never really was. His support of Hope McSlapnuts Obama was proof positive of this fact. Either that, or he was just a typical racist asshole voting for a black man.

Telling the GOP that they need to come more to the center and not saying the same to the left is a rather obvious outcry of his stupidity.

Hey dumbass! STFU and change your party affiliation already. The more of you idiot RINOs that switch over to the Democrats, the better.

I have lost all respect for this turncoat. Enjoy your liberal love fest moron.

Would Colin Powell Please Just Go Away?

Just when you think retired Gen. Colin Powell has really “retired” from the public scene, he reemerges long enough to grab a bit of the lime light, before returning to the depths of obscurity. Usually, when he does pop out to make a comment the media is all too willing to hear it because it likely means he will be bashing Republicans.

His latest rant is right in line with his standard M.O. In a recent speech, Powell took swipes at Rush Limbaugh, Gov. Sarah Palin, and made his usual claims that the Republican Party has moved too far to the right. Give Powell credit, when he sees an opportunity to be opportunistic, he seizes it. The problem is that he is completely off track and would be much better suited joining Arlen Specter and the Democrats.

The Government, the States, and You… Thursday, May 7 2009

Government aid to the states. Money collected in the very states that need it feed the government trough; just to be sent back to the states as aid. I’m from the gubmint and I’m here to help…

Doesn’t make any damn sense.

More Misleading Monetary MSM Memes

This morning, this headline appeared on the front page of USA Today, “Federal aid is top revenue for states”.

I wonder how many of my fellow citizens read that and absently nodded approval while sipping their coffee or crossed their fingers hopefully while scanning the “Help Wanted” ads?

The problems with the headline and with the flavor of the article itself are legion.

Iran, Nukes, Israel, USA, and others… Thursday, May 7 2009 

Anti-Islamo-Fascists and Axis of Idiots and Comarade Obama and Military and Politics , , , , , 1IDVET 15:23

Iran’s nukes are an issue that will be dealt with sooner, or later. The problem with later, is that they may have a developed weapon that they can fire back at whomever happens to strike at them.
I think Israel won’t wait too much longer to knock Iran’s dick in the dirt over the nuke issue.

They did it with Iraq in 1981. They’ll do it with these idiots if they push it much further. Slow them down and develop an anti-missile system that can defend against attack. Too bad Obama thinks that missile defense is a bad idea; simpleton. You have more leverage against rogue nations if you can defend against their nuclear ambitions, and they can’t defend against yours.

Why attacking Iran may be morally and militarily necessary
By James Lewis

The decision to go to war is always a profound moral question, for any sane and civilized country. It is also a military and political question, and in the case of Iran, situated as it is at the head of the Persian-Arab Gulf, a major economic question. All the ducks have to be in a row for the decision to be made.

SecDef Gates argued in public testimony last week that knocking out Iran’s nuclear installations would make little sense, because it would only slow down the mullahs’ rush to nukes, and not bring them to a screeching halt. But in a crisis like this one, no public statement can be believed; disinformation is at least as common as truth-telling. Some people have argued that Gates took the military option off the table, thereby Jimmy-Carterizing Obama good and proper. In this view, Obama is committing public self-castration for the cause of peace.
