Military Retirees Get Screwed… Friday, Feb 24 2012

They can’t balance a budget. They slash the military’s budget. They go after the retirees to pay for the things that they were promised would be there after they did their 20 years, or better. It’s bad enough that they want to hike fees, but to do it by as much as 78% is criminal.

The Veterans did what was asked, now the government reneges on the deal. Typical.

Tricare costs would jump in budget plan
By Patricia Kime – Staff writer

Pentagon officials will continue pressing in 2013 for significantly higher Tricare fees for military retirees, including older retirees covered by Tricare for Life, as well as higher drug co-pays for all Tricare beneficiaries.

The Defense Department’s proposed 2013 budget calls for annual enrollment fees for retirees in Tricare Prime to rise next year by 30 percent to 78 percent, from the current $460 or $520 for families to between $600 and $820, depending on military retirement income.

“Working-age retirees” — those younger than 65 — also would pay annual enrollment fees for Tricare Standard and Extra: $70 for an individual and $140 for a family. These would be the first enrollment fees for Standard and Extra in Tricare history.

Deductibles for Standard and Extra also would rise by $10 for individuals and $20 for families.

Fast and Furious Still Ignored by MSM… Monday, Feb 20 2012

It’s still being ignored. Watergate was nothing compared to this. It is an absolute farce that Holder has not been impeached. Obama should be impeached if he is found to have any involvement in this obvious conspiracy on the part of this Administration’s DOJ.

They want your guns, so you can’t resist them. This was their moment in the sun. Unfortunately, in their eyes, they’ve been found out.

There needs to be an accounting. Holder is accountable for DOJ’s involvement from the get go, through the aftermath yet to be determined.

AP ‘top 10’ list confirms media still ignoring Fast and Furious story

“The killing of Osama bin Laden during a raid by Navy SEALs on his hideout in Pakistan was the top news story of 2011, followed by Japan’s earthquake/tsunami/meltdown disaster, according to The Associated Press’ annual poll of U.S. editors and news directors,” David Crary of the Associated Press reported, presenting the news agency’s top 10 stories for the year.

Fair enough. They were huge stories. The other stories selected were all noteworthy in their own ways as well, but there is one more that is remarkable in its absence from inclusion: Fast and Furious.

Kalifornia’s Anti-Gun Policy Kills Innocent People… Friday, Feb 17 2012 

Axis of Idiots and Democrats and Failure and Guns and Neo-Marxists and Politics and Second Amendment and Socialism , , 1IDVET 07:07

I hate this state’s stance on guns. It doesn’t do anything but get innocent people killed by criminals. The laws they have on the books do one thing, and one thing only. They diminish the rights of American citizens to own a gun and defend themselves against the assholes of society that are already breaking the law. Adding anti-gun laws only helps the criminals, and gang bangers in this state.
It is high time that this state be taken back from the liberal do gooders that have made this state a haven for criminals, gang bangers, illegal aliens and the like.

The politicians in this state are either armed, or have armed security with them and their families at all times. How is that representing the peoples’ will?

I could rant into next week on this, but it almost seems pointless in this commie infested state.

Here’s a rant worth reading:

Tales of the California Gun

Since I live in the “Peoples Republik of Kalifornia” I notice a lot of things that folks in other states don’t. I get a chance to see the drug war, the gang war, the class war and the illegal Immigration war first hand…. Funny how they are all connected here in CA…

In February (So far) there have been 13 declared murders NINE of which involved firearms. Now this is good news I guess because 4 of the 13 KILLED didn’t involve being shot. One was stabbed, one was bludgeoned and two were labeled as “Other”…

This doesn’t include the latest homicide in which an ICE agent shot another ICE agent.

Does anyone know where I’m heading with this? If you don’t you haven’t read my rants before so buckle up cause it’s gonna be a rough ride if you’re a Brady Campaign supporter….

Eric Holder is in Contempt of Congress… Wednesday, Feb 15 2012

This douche bag needs to get fired. Him and anyone else involved in this fiasco. It’s been going on long enough. The lies are deep with this bunch. I’m glad to see Issa is on his ass like a dog on a bone.

Makes me wonder how much Obama knew and when he knew it.

Issa takes step toward holding Holder in contempt of Congress
By Matthew Boyle

On Tuesday Rep. Darrell Issa, chairman of the House committee on Oversight and Government Reform, took a major step toward holding Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress for his failure to provide subpoenaed documents and other information about Operation Fast and Furious.

In a Jan. 31 letter, Issa had threatened Holder with such a move if he failed to provide all the subpoenaed documents relating to the Fast and Furious gunwalking scandal by Feb. 9. That deadline has come and gone, and Holder’s Department of Justice still hasn’t provided most of those documents. Issa’s subpoena dates back to Oct. 12, 2011.

President’s Budget Would Increase Taxpayer Losses on TARP… Tuesday, Feb 14 2012

He just doesn’t get it. I guess this shit is par for the course with  SCOAMF. The only way this shit is going to change is if we get rid of his ass in 2012 and get rid of the Democrats in both Chambers of Congress. I would include the RINOs in cleaning out Congress. Government needs to shrink, not get bigger. It’s already too big for our own good.

President’s Budget Would Increase Taxpayer Losses on TARP
By Stacy Kaper

President Obama’s fiscal 2013 budget proposal touts the administration’s recent long-shot mortgage refinancing proposal and says the White House’s increased emphasis on the housing crisis will lead to larger taxpayer losses from a 2008 emergency bailout fund.

The budget, as expected includes a call for broadening the availability of refinancing options for borrowers who are current on their mortgages but owe more than their homes are worth. The administration said it plans to finish doling out unspent funds for housing assistance, which is likely to increase the costs of the emergency financial bailout by $20 billion — something that is likely to generate criticism from Republicans for increasing taxpayer costs.

Obama’s Budget And Speech Update: Paul Ryan Responds

The Obama administration released its budget today and The One is now giving a speech shortly to sell it.

President Obama is offering his spending blueprint for the next decade — an election-year document that seeks to achieve $4 trillion in deficit reduction through cuts in government spending, higher taxes and inclusion of last year’s debt-ceiling deal for deficit reduction.

At the same time, Obama will ask for substantial spending increases on infrastructure and job training, but will offer few reforms to entitlement programs, which take up 40 percent of the annual federal budget.

Republicans, who are vowing to oppose Obama’s tax increases, have planned several events Monday to counter the president’s release. On Sunday House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan said the president’s proposal is full of gimmicks and does little to reduce the deficit or curb the rapid growth of benefit programs like Medicare.

Tax increases? Oh yes, Obama has those. .

OBAMA BUDGET: ends Bush tax cuts for top earners, limits their deductions & exemptions, brings back top 39.6% rate

Bottom line…this is all theater since Obama’s budget is Dead on Arrival. Democrats in the Senate don’t want to touch it but Mitch McConnell is trying to bring it up for a vote.

Defending the Constitution… Wednesday, Feb 8 2012

The assault on our Constitution is unprecedented. This Administration and the Democrats in general have been spewing absolute shit out of their shit holes under their noses. If you think for one second that this President, or his minions are pro-America, you are absolutely delusional.

They can’t do it the right way, the way it is given in the Constitution, so they want to change our Constitution to fit their collective socialist agenda.

Keep this shit up, and there will be another revolution. Those of us that took the oath like myself, will defend the Constitution against ALL enemies both foreign and DOMESTIC, and are ready to continue to defend it even now.

You assholes that think you can trample on the Constitution without a fight, are in for a rude awakening.

‘Breaking Free From the Constraints of the Founding Fathers’
By Victor Davis Hanson

In the last week in the popular press and academic journals there have been several pre-election essays and op-eds about the cumbersome nature of the U.S. Constitution as we were reminded by the president and its unsuitability for emulation by other countries per Justice Ginsburg, given contemporary supposedly superior models. In addition, we are told that food stamps are a great win-win situation for everyone, and that breaking immigration laws are infractions not really violations.

What we have here is an assault on traditional American notions of self-reliance, respect for the law, and a sense of American exceptionalism as embodied by the Constitution. It is weird, to say the least, to even hint of superior constitutional systems elsewhere, given the current chaos in South Africa, and the coming implosion of the European Union — not to mention the mess in the Middle East and Russia.

AGW Debate, Scientists Changing Sides… Tuesday, Feb 7 2012 

Climategate and Democrats and Eco-terrorism and Failure and Global Warming Scam and Global Whining and Neo-Marxists and Politics and Socialism and Stupid People and Truth , , 1IDVET 12:55

Still not convinced eh? I am. CO2 is a gas, natural to the Earth. Plants eat that shit up. People and cars exhale that shit. More CO2, more plants, more food. Less starving people on the planet. Hmm, sounds like a good thing to me.

The sun heats up the Earth, sometimes a lot, sometimes not. The clouds cool the planet and recycle water through evaporation, which also cools the planet. Funny how that shit all works together to make a nice cozy planet to live on.

I know it’s a simple explanation, but it works.

At any rate, there are a couple converts from the green moron farm in Germany.

Via Hot Air Green Room:

Two more scientists change sides in the AGW debate

In fact, it seems as if it isn’t really much of a debate anymore.

First, let me be clear, the debate among scientists isn’t whether CO2 is a greenhouse gas or whether, even, it can cause warming, but instead on what real (if any) total effect it has overall on the climate. In other words, is there a saturation point where additional CO2 has little marginal effect, or does it build to a tipping point where the change is radical? Robust climate or delicate climate?

Evidence is building toward the robust climate theory, which would mean that while there may be more CO2 being emitted, it has little to no effect on the overall climate. That, of course, is contrary to the AGW crowd’s theory.

So, on to the latest high profile defections:

One of the fathers of Germany’s modern green movement, Professor Dr. Fritz Vahrenholt, a social democrat and green activist, decided to author a climate science skeptical book together with geologist/paleontologist Dr. Sebastian Lüning. Vahrenholt’s skepticism started when he was asked to review an IPCC report on renewable energy. He found hundreds of errors. When he pointed them out, IPCC officials simply brushed them aside. Stunned, he asked himself, “Is this the way they approached the climate assessment reports?”

Vahrenholt decided to do some digging. His colleague Dr. Lüning also gave him a copy of Andrew Montford’s The Hockey Stick Illusion. He was horrified by the sloppiness and deception he found. Persuaded by Hoffmann & Campe, he and Lüning decided to write the book. Die kalte Sonne cites 800 sources and has over 80 charts and figures. It examines and summarizes the latest science.

Makers vs. Moochers… Monday, Feb 6 2012

Yeah, let’s keep taking from the makers and give to the moochers. That’s a great plan for prosperity! NOT!

We, as a nation, cannot continue to let this happen. Unfortunately, there are fewer and fewer producers and more and more moochers. It may already be too late to right this sinking ship.

It’s takers versus makers and these days the takers are winning

By: Glenn Harlan Reynolds

“Fifty thousand for what you didn’t plant, for what didn’t grow. That’s modern farming — reap what you don’t sow.”That’s a line from a song about farm subsidies, “Farming The Government,” by the Nebraska Guitar Militia.

But these days it applies to more and more of the U.S. economy, as Charles Sykes points out in his new book, A Nation Of Moochers: America’s Addiction To Getting Something For Nothing.The problem, Sykes points out, is that you can’t run an economy like that. If you tried to hold a series of potluck dinners where a majority brought nothing to the table, but felt entitled to eat their fill, it would probably work out badly. Yet that’s essentially what we’re doing.

In today’s America, government benefits flow to large numbers of people who are encouraged to vote for politicians who’ll keep them coming. The benefits are paid for by other people who, being less numerous, can’t muster enough votes to put this to a stop.

Over time, this causes the economy to do worse, pushing more people into the moocher class and further strengthening the politicians whose position depends on robbing Peter to pay Paul. Because, as they say, if you rob Peter to pay Paul, you can be pretty sure of getting Paul’s vote.

But the damage goes deeper. Sykes writes, “In contemporary America, we now have two parallel cultures: An anachronistic culture of independence and responsibility, and the emerging moocher culture.
