First we have the GM bailout. Read the paper today and you’ll see that GM (now Government Motors) is showing a profit. They paid back a portion of the bailout money with more bailout money, but can now show a profit? The media and Democrats are doing the math. Add to this the fact that all you GM stock holders lost your shorts with GM “ALMOST” bankrupted, but were given no priority when the new IPO happened. Remember that “ALMOST” bankruptcy kept the unions intact. That’s your answer.

But to the biggest and most dastardly money laundering scheme we must look to the public labor unions. Who knew? Here you go, watch the money. We, the people, pay every dime of the public worker’s paycheck, right? Any questions so far? Good! But wait, let’s do that again. You may not have gotten it. WE PAY EVERY DIME OF THE MONEY EARNED BY UNION WORKERS THAT WORK FOR THE GOVERNMENT, INCLUDING TEACHERS.

Now, all of the union people pay dues to their respective unions. So where does that money come from? YOU, that’s were. You, us, we, are paying the dues that go to the unions, that are then DIRECTLY sent to the Democrat party.

Even if you’re a Democrat that’s got to seem dirty, doesn’t it? Maybe if you’re one of the new breed of sole-less liberal Dems it doesn’t, but you Humphrey, Kennedy Dems got to look twice at the flim flam.

Next time you see a public union rally criticizing a cut in union power, you’ll know why and who sent them.

Just my point of view.

Fresh off of blaming Jared Loughner’s killing spree in the Tucson mall on Sarah Palin, liberals are now blaming it on high-capacity magazines. They might as well imprison everyone named “Jared” to prevent a crime like this from ever happening again.

During the presidential campaign, Obama said: “I don’t know of any self-respecting hunter that needs 19 rounds of anything. You don’t shoot 19 rounds at a deer, and if you do, you shouldn’t be hunting.” It would have been more accurate for him to end that sentence after the word “hunter.”

It’s so adorable when people who wouldn’t know a high-capacity magazine from Vanity Fair start telling gun owners what they should want and need.

In fact, high-capacity mags put a predator like Loughner at a disadvantage because they are so long, unwieldy and difficult to conceal. This may be why the Tucson shooting appears to be the first spree killing involving a high-capacity magazine. It would have been easier for Loughner to bring two guns.

On the other hand, for a homeowner who is a poor marksman, a large-capacity clip could be a lifesaver.

But after every multiple murder, liberals come up with some crackpot idea to “do something” that invariably involves infringing on some aspect of our Second Amendment rights.

The ACLU won’t let us put nuts in mental hospitals and Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik wouldn’t lock up Loughner even after he had broken the law several times.

In an open society that includes Sheriff Dumbnik and the ACLU, deranged individuals may explode into murder and mayhem now and then. The best we can do is enact policies that will reduce the death toll when these acts of carnage occur.

There’s only one policy of any kind that has ever been shown to deter mass murder: concealed-carry laws. In a comprehensive study of all public, multiple-shooting incidents in America between 1977 and 1999, the highly regarded economists John Lott and Bill Landes found that concealed-carry laws were the only laws that had any beneficial effect.

And the effect was not small. States that allowed citizens to carry concealed handguns reduced multiple-shooting attacks by 60 percent and reduced the death and injury from these attacks by nearly 80 percent.

When there are no armed citizens to stop mass murderers, the killers are able to shoot unabated, even pausing to reload their weapons, until they get bored and stop. Some stop only when their trigger fingers develop carpal tunnel syndrome.

Consider just the school shootings — popular sites for mass murder because so many schools are “gun-free zones.” Or, as mass murderers call them, “free-fire zones.”

At Columbine High School, two students killed 13 people before ending the carnage themselves by committing suicide. They didn’t need high-capacity magazines because they were able to stop and reload.

At the Amish school shooting in 2006 in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, the deranged killer murdered five little girls and then committed suicide.

In 1998, two students in Craighead County, Arkansas, killed five people, including four little girls, before the killers decided to stop and attempt an escape.

And in 2007, a deranged student killed 32 people at Virginia Tech — 30 of them in a very short period of time in one building. He didn’t need high-capacity magazines because he had two guns and reloaded.

There was no one to stop him.

School shootings that have been halted were almost always stopped by the happenstance of an armed citizen on school property.

In 2002, an immigrant in Virginia started shooting his classmates at the Appalachian Law School in Grundy. Two of his classmates retrieved guns from their cars, forcing the killer to drop his weapon and allowing a third classmate to tackle him.

Three dead.

In Santee, Calif., in 2001, when a student began shooting his classmates, the school activated its “safe school plan” — as the principal later told CNN — by sending a “trained campus supervisor” to stop the killer.

Possibly not realizing that he was in a gun-free zone, the killer responded by shooting the trained campus supervisor three times. Fortunately, an armed off-duty San Diego policeman happened to be bringing his daughter to school that day. With a gun, he stopped the killer and held him at bay until more police could arrive.

Two dead.

In 1997, a student at Pearl High School in Pearl, Miss., had already shot several people at his high school and was headed for the junior high school when assistant principal Joel Myrick retrieved a .45 pistol from his car and pointed it at the gunman’s head, ending the slaughter.

Two dead.

In 1998, a student attending a junior high school dance at a restaurant in Edinboro, Pa., started shooting, whereupon the restaurant owner pulled out his shotgun, chased the gunman from the restaurant and captured him for the police.

One dead.

See the pattern?

In response to Columbine, schools adopted “anti-bullying” policies; in response to Virginia Tech, eBay ceased selling magazines online; in response to the Tucson shooting, liberals want to ban the particular magazine Loughner used.

And then the next killer will come along with a different arsenal and a different motive, and the only way to stop him will be with an armed citizen with a gun.

I recently had need of a plumber due to a stopped up toilet. The clog was causing the house stink so badly that we thought that we may have to move out.
We needed a plumber and quick. Not time to waste. WE NEED RELIEF NOW!

In selecting a plumber it appeared that there is only one real option, Obama Heating and Plumbing. They’re a national chain who in a recent national poll got phenomenal reviews.

I did get estimates from other plumbers that ranged from $500 – $750 for the job, so I didn’t feel that I needed an estimate due to there exemplary rating. Thought they might even save me some money.

So, we went to work while the plumbers did there job.

Upon returning home we found the following:

-The windows in our home had been replaced with more efficient insulated glass
-The light bulbs had been switched from incandescent to fluorescent and a huge windmill was installed in
-My 1965 Mustang fun car had been replaced with a new Prius
-Two homeless families had been moved into to spare bedrooms upstairs with instructions for care and feeding.
-Our heating system was now powered by what they cleaned out of the clogged toilet
-Our kids were taken out of the private school they attend and sent to a “local” public school 30 miles away at the same cost

The bill was taped to the door.

$2,500,000!!! I signed up for the easy pay plan that will last long after I’m dead and the plumbing company has gone out of business.

Czech President Vaclav Klaus took aim at climate change campaigner Al Gore on Saturday in Davos in a frontal attack on the science of global warming.
“I don’t think that there is any global warming,” said the 67-year-old liberal, whose country holds the rotating presidency of the European Union. “I don’t see the statistical data for that.”

Referring to the former US vice president, who attended Davos this year, he added: “I’m very sorry that some people like Al Gore are not ready to listen to the competing theories. I do listen to them.

“Environmentalism and the global warming alarmism is challenging our freedom. Al Gore is an important person in this movement.”

Speaking on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum, he said that he was more worried about the reaction to the perceived dangers than the consequences.

“I’m afraid that the current crisis will be misused for radically constraining the functioning of the markets and market economy all around the world,” he said.

“I’m more afraid of the consequences of the crisis than the crisis itself.”

Klaus makes no secret of his climate change scepticism — he is also a fierce critic of the European Union — and has branded the world’s top panel of climate experts, the UN’s IPCC, a smug monopoly.
