Back to Basics

Thanks to Newt Gingrich and those who have funded his latest manic episode, the Republican Party and Mitt Romney are being forced to defend themselves from attacks against the very concept of free-market capitalism.

Republicans savagely attacking other Republicans for engaging in free-market capitalism during a vital presidential election year?

Good grief, Ronald Reagan must be turning over in his grave!

Knowledgeable pundits like conservative Charles Krauthammer have issued ominious warnings about the impact that Gingrich’s bitter tirade might have in the 2012 elections.

For example, should Romney become the eventual Republican nominee, ObamaMites in the White House will have an anti-capitalism, anti-Romney attack campaign ready to use, after some minor editing.

Said campaign will be based on the exact words of a contemporary Republican presidential candidate and former Speaker, which include the following words about Bain:

“This is a story of greed, of playing the system for a quick buck, a group of corporate raiders led by Mitt Romney more ruthless than Wall Street. For tens of thousands of Americans, the suffering began when Mitt Romney came to town.”

Most significantly, Obama will have a cool $1 billion dollars, the Bully Pulpit of the Presidency, and the leftist mainstream-media available to proliferate all anti-Romney misspeak uttered by the former Speaker into every household in every language spoken in America

It may very well be the bane of Bain for Romney. And it may lead to the reelection of the worst president in U.S. history in an election year that is pivotal and crucial for the survival of America.

Thanks Newt Gingrich! For exactly nothing!

For this and your branding of the Paul Ryan budget as “right-wing social engineering,” your cavorting with Nancy Pelosi on the issue of Global Warming, and your despicable feeding at the public trough of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to the tune of $1.6 million, you deserve to be excommunicated from the GOP for life.

While Gingrich’s assault on free-enterprise and Mitt Romney may indeed lead to another four years of Marxist amateurism at the White House and be the final nail in the death of the American Dream, the Mitt Romney forces should use the Gingrich assault as a model for preparing for the lies and distortions sure to come from the Obama campaign tyrants.

Defending Romney’s term as CEO of Bain should be akin to promoting apple pie and motherhood. For instance, as reported, in part, at the reference concerning the ad-movie issued by Gingrich

    “First of all, it is a stretch to portray Romney as some sort of corporate raider, akin to Carl Icahn (whose image is briefly seen). Bain Capital initially was in the business of providing venture capital — seed money — for start-ups, such as Staples. Then it moved to the more lucrative business of private equity, in which Bain won control of firms, reorganized them and then sold them for profit.

Private equity deals, such as leveraged buyouts in which the company borrows lots of debt, can be more rewarding but also more risky. Some of those deals went bad for Bain, which sometimes happens in finance, though the company usually made money anyway.

Newt Gingrich is ‘only’ 68 years old and seemingly in good physical health. However, based on his performance at the foreign policy debate on November 22, Newt’s mental acumen is very much in doubt. Specifically, in calling for amnesty for tens of millions of illegal aliens, one must ask, “Is Newt Gingrich too old to remember 1986?”

It was in 1986 that the Republican Party decided to put an end to illegal invasions from Mexico, once and for all!

And just how did the party of conservative Ronald Reagan take on that noble, but difficult, attempt to enforce the rule of law and defend American sovereignty, borders, culture, and language?

Amnesty for the illegals!

Indeed, Ronald Reagan granted amnesty to 3-4 million illegals as part of the Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) of 1986, said action taken ostensibly to end the nightmare of foreign invasions forever.

Besides amnesty, IRCA set forth severe punishments for employers who hired illegals, and for deportation of the offending illegal aliens themselves. Those provisions have been ignored by both Democrat and Republican administrations.

In the intervening 25 years, the illegal alien problem has exploded into a national disgrace, a criminal abdication of constitutional responsibility which has allowed as many as 20 million additional illegals to invade our precious nation.

This invasion was allowed to continue even during time of war when President George W. Bush foolishly refused to seal off the borders, which should been accomplished immediately after the events of September 11, 2001.

Because of W’s myopic vision, illegal invasions have continued to the point where American taxpayers now spend more than $100 billion each year to support uneducated, impoverished invaders who do not speak English, and who generally have no desire to learn the language of the land.

W’s foolishness has lead to the demise of once-great American cities like Los Angeles which have become slum- suburbs of Mexico in language and culture.

The election of Marxist Barack Obama has made the problem even worse as he sees illegal aliens as future Democrats and has stopped enforcing the rule of law altogether in some situations involving deportations.

So just what is it that makes Newt Gingrich so anxious to be “Obama Light” when it comes to illegals?

Too old to remember 1986, Newt?

Self-mutilation is never a pretty sight, unless it involves a whacked-out liberal offing his or her self, “for the children.” Even then, although the net effect may be overall positive, the individual acts may be unseemly, and not suitable for consumption by family audiences.

Which brings to mind the decimation of the conservative movement by guys and gals who once seemed formidable in their individual quests to replace Barack Hussein Obama.

Silently we on the right have stood by as heroes and heroines of our cause have walked off the plank of presidential candidacy into the dark, cold sea of obscurity.

First it was conservative favorite Tom Pawlenty who decided that he did not have the wherewithal to fight the good fight any longer, which led the former, anti-charismatic Governor from Minnesota to retrieve his hat from the ring.

Disappointed, we were back then, still the problem seemed to be one of an overcrowded field, rather than the opposite.

Besides the announced candidates, the aisles were still cluttered with the likes of Rudy Giuliani, Chris Christie, Sarah Palin, Marc Rubio and lord knows how many others, all waiting to be begged to serve by an adoring electorate hungry for the reincarnation of a Republican with Ronald Reagan’s good looks and conservative rigidity.

One by one, those magnificent would-be presidents came forward and tried on the Golden Slipper.

And one by one, each discovered that the slipper simply did not fit, for one reason or another, although in the case of Governor Christie, his foot was just too damn fat!

Thus, emerged the pattern whereby a GOP hopeful bowed out graciously and expressed appreciation for support received, but then announced that he/she would NOT be a candidate for the U.S. Presidency, or what may be left of same at the end of four dreadful years of neglect and malfeasance at the hands of Barack Obama.

With each bowing out, one grew more wary of the declining number of candidates.

Still, the field included such stalwarts as Mitt Romney, Ron Paul, Newt Gingrich, Michelle Bachmann, Rick Santorum, John Huntsman, and newcomer Rick Perry.

And a fellow named Herman Cain.

With that roster of available talent, there was no need to fret about a suitable candidate, right?

Then the Rick Perry shoe dropped, even before the infamous “pause.” Shortly thereafter, Herman Cain started to make headlines with sexual accusations from former female associates, rather than “999.”

To make matters worse, Cain seemed confused about whether or not China has nuclear weapons and did a fantastic impression of the “Perry Pause” which was entertaining, but hardly presidential.

However, the bright light of hope continued to shine brilliantly around the personage of Newt Gingrich, a real conservative, who despite some disturbing personal history, seemed formidable.

Until today, when it was announced that Newt took over a million dollars from Freddie Mac.

Freddie “Freaking” Mac for gosh sake, that gaggle of leftist moon bats who have all but destroyed the American Dream for millions of Americans who live responsibly, just to “include” people who simply cannot afford home ownership!

Said moon bats declaring the loss of billions more of taxpayer money in 2011 and to whom millions were paid in bonuses for “good” performance!

Egad, Newt.

Poi is a Hawaiian word for the primary Polynesian staple food made from the corm of the taro plant (known in Hawaiian as kalo). Poi is produced by mashing the cooked corm (baked or steamed) until it is a highly viscous fluid.

One would expect that a food-conscious health advocate whom has appointed herself Queen of the global war on fighting obesity and poor health would promote poi as the preferred food of choice, especially while in the land of Aloha where this delicacy is abundant.

Actually, delicacy may be a stretch for a “food” that has the taste and substance of spoiled glue. Still, poi is good for you, or so they say.

Poi’s life-saving qualities notwithstanding, First Lady Michelle Obama exposed her preference for steak, commonly known among progressives as unhealthy, fat-laden and possibly unconstitutional, and a direct cause of global warming.

As reported in part:

“The U.S. First Lady Michelle Obama has revealed during a trip to an organic farm in Hawaii that her ‘favourite meal’ is steak and arugula.
Mrs Obama had been discussing how to tackle childhood obesity in the U.S. when she described the simple meal of steak accompanied with the fragrant salad, also known as rocket, as her ‘favourite’.

The First Lady had been at a roundtable discussion at the Ma’o Organic Farms in Waianae, Hawaii.”

Once again, the sheer hypocrisy of the Obamas is mind-boggling!

The woman who filed a formal sexual harassment complaint against Herman Cain at the end of the last century has decided to remain in the comfort and security of anonymity.

As reported, in part:

One of the women who accused Republican presidential contender Herman Cain of sexual harassment released a statement through her lawyer Friday saying that she “stands by” her complaint, which was made “in good faith about a series of inappropriate behaviors and unwanted advances.”

There was “more than one incident” of harassment involving Cain and his client over the span of a couple of months in 1999, attorney Joel Bennett said.

Bennett said his client, married for 26 years, will not reveal her identity because “she and her husband see no value in revisiting this matter now nor in discussing the matter any further publicly or privately.”

“In fact,” he added, “it would be extremely painful for her to do so.”

Bennet’s statement comes as a huge disappointment to Democrat operatives and the mainstream media who had counted on breaking news alerts and headlines about Cain’s sexually abusive past for at least a fortnight, or until the uppity black was forced to abandon his ill-conceived,fanciful candidacy for the U.S. Presidency,

Democrats and the media had visions of daily revelations involving other women, all shielded by invisibility cloaks crafted by clever leftist lawyers, who would claim that Cain made them “uncomfortable,” in one manner or another.

Breaking news headlines would expose the kinky details about the gestures and words that Cain allegedly used to torture his victims with brutal discomfort.

Again, the operative word—anonymous.

Muckrakers with contracts let by the DNC would let it be known that Cain was drinking heavily, and a firestorm would ensue with rumors that Cain was close to admitting his substance abuse problems and was seriously considering admitting himself to a rehabilitation center.

The strategy being, when all else fails, declare that you are a helpless victim of substance addiction, but that you are on the road to recovery and with God’s help will be heard from again in the future.
For emphasis, invoke the name of Anthony Weiner and other recent losers looking for a way out of the spotlight.

On and on it would go, while the truly important events of the day would wither and die from lack of attention.

Alas, it was just not meant to be because some unnamed woman did not wish to expose herself to the non-stop assault on her personal life that would happen were she to go public.

For that selfish act of cowardice, America owes her,whomever she happens to be, a debt of sincere gratitude.

Now, can we get on with the business of saving our blessed nation from the clutches of Barack Obama and his Marxist agenda?

Let’s get on with the urgent need to install a pro-American, pro-jobs, pro-business government that will listen to we the people.

America Needs Herman Cain!

Are you skeptical of those who claim that liberalism is a mental disorder? If so, it is imperative that you aquatint yourself with the works and wonders of Mayor Jean Quan, the left-wing extremist who is in charge of doings in Oakland, California.

Mayor Quan, apparently cursed with the most vile stream of the insanity virus, rolled up her sleeves and went to work on the ‘Occupy Oakland’ quagmire which has gripped her town, an unlovely mess even before the invasion by thousands of malcontent vagrants and bums looking for a government bail out to rescue themselves from years of misspent youth mired in alcohol and drug abuse, made all the worse by genetic stupidity.

Unfortunately, Mayor Quan’s liberal disease is in the advanced stages which means that the lady should probably not be allowed to walk on Oakland’s chaotic streets, much less run the damn town.

As reported, Mayor Quan just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time: Meaning, she was in her office at City Hall when the Occupy Mania came calling:

The liberal Tea Party had been staging a “general strike” all day, after the craven Mayor Jean Quan literally surrendered the city to them, going so far as to advise local businesses to “leave the cash drawer open and empty” after business hours, so the wealth redistribution experts marching through the streets could easily see that they didn’t have any money to steal.

Quan also gave all city employees the day off, so they could join the protests… except for the city police. As the Blaze reports, this was very confusing to the city police, who found themselves wondering if the Mayor wanted city employees on both sides of the picket line. They wrote Quan to ask if she could clear a few things up, such as who was actually running Oakland these days:

On Tuesday, October 25th, we were ordered by Mayor Quan to clear out the encampments at Frank Ogawa Plaza and to keep protesters out of the Plaza. We performed the job that the Mayor’s Administration asked us to do, being fully aware that past protests in Oakland have resulted in rioting, violence and destruction of property.

Then, on Wednesday, October 26th, the Mayor allowed protesters back in – to camp out at the very place they were evacuated from the day before.

To add to the confusion, the Administration issued a memo on Friday, October 28th to all City workers in support of the “Stop Work” strike scheduled for Wednesday, giving all employees, except for police officers, permission to take the day off.

That’s hundreds of City workers encouraged to take off work to participate in the protest against “the establishment.” But aren’t the Mayor and her Administration part of the establishment they are paying City employees to protest? Is it the City’s intention to have City employees on both sides of a skirmish line?

It is all very confusing to us.”

The police are probably a little cranky about the way they were used as scapegoats for the violence displayed by Occupy Oakland during the last riot it started, which ended with a man nursing a head injury in the hospital.

While celebrating the death of Muammar Gaddafi last week, supporters of President Obama were lavish in their praise of his execution of the Libyan war. Some claimed vindication of the controversial “Leading from Behind” strategy and predicted that Libya would be the new textbook model for waging “smart” war.

However, recent reports coming from Libya suggest that the kudos directed toward Obama may have been premature, at best, and down right ignorant at worst.

As reported , the ‘spoils of war’ appear to have graced those who practice terrorism:

Weekend media reports showed al-Qaida’s flag flying in central Benghazi, and noted that Libyan anti-aircraft missiles had been purchased by terror groups, but White House spokesman Jay Carney said Monday the administration has not been surprised by news reports from Libya.

“I’m not aware of anything that has been reported that has surprised us out of Libya,” Carney said during a morning press briefing.

White House officials have not responded to The Daily Caller’s request for an explanation of Carney’s statement.

The news follows the Oct. 22 announcement by the transitional Libyan leader that the country would discard current divorce laws in favor of archaic Islamic laws that allow polygamy and easy divorce for men.

A CNN report on Saturday showed al-Qaida’s black flag flying over the Benghazi courthouse, which was one of the rebellion’s starting points.”

Thus, the Obama ‘triumph’ in Libya may turn out to be in the same class of failure as the Obama-Biden “Summer of Recovery” of the U.S. economy in 2010:

Utter and complete failure, aggravated and made all the worse by idiotic self-congratulations and back slapping on the part of those most responsible for the failure!

God speed November 6, 2012!

America’s mainstream media, ever on the look-out for a story (or unconfirmed rumor) with which to pummel any Republican, and most especially any black, conservative, is most surely in ‘salivate’ mode as moon- bat editors and reporters from coast-to-coast contemplate the potential devastation that might be visited on the campaign of Herman Cain who is simply the ‘wrong’ sort of black to suit their taste.

Fueling the outbreak of ‘high fives’ and premature ‘We Got Him’ celebrations from deep within the bowels of the New York Times, Los Angeles Times and other branches of the DNC, are reports which allege that Herman Cain was once accused of sexual harassment by former female associates.

As reported at the reference, in part:

Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain’s campaign is staunchly denying reports that the former chief executive of Godfather’s Pizza was involved in a sexual harassment case, saying the allegations are “questionable.”

Cain’s chief of staff, Mark Block, said on MSNBC today that the GOP candidate “has never sexually harassed anyone. Period. End of story.”

“Every negative word and accusation in the article is sourced to a series of unnamed or anonymous sources. Questionable at best,” Block said of the Politico report, which found that Cain was accused of inappropriate behavior by two women during his tenure as National Restaurant Association head from 1996 to 1999.”

Despite the robust denials and questionable sources, the media are ready to pull out all the stops in order to humiliate and damage the bellicose black man, he who dares to stray in thought and deed from the ironclad ideological stupor of the left, which dictates that all black people are, at birth, the sole and private property of the Democrat Party, and remain so throughout their government-dependent lives.

Mind you, these are the same media freaks who willingly carried water for Bill Clinton who was guilty of perjury and obstruction of justice in his failed attempt to keep his sordid affair with Monica Lewinsky out of the news and out of the hands of Paula Jones and her lawyers.

However, remember that Bill Clinton is a white, liberal Democrat, as is John Edwards, another fallen hero of the left who deserves a ‘pass’ because of his compassion and love for the little guy!

Phooey!

Leave Herman Cain alone!

As the housing market continues to fold like a cheap accordion, middle-class Americans are ever more helpless to stop the tragic end to retirement plans made years, and even decades, ago, or to reverse the relentless purging of hundreds of billions of dollars of American equity once assumed to be beyond reproach in the safety of real estate investment.

Yet while tens of millions of ordinary Americans suffer major, life-changing losses, executives at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac prosper as though the hay days of the real estate boom were all in the future.

As reported, in part:

The Federal Housing Finance Agency, the government regulator for Fannie [Mae] and Freddie [Mac], approved $12.79 million in bonus pay after 10 executives from the two government-sponsored corporations last year met modest performance targets tied to modifying mortgages in jeopardy of foreclosure.

The executives got the bonuses about two years after the federally backed mortgage giants received nearly $170 billion in taxpayer bailouts — and despite pledges by FHFA, the office tasked with keeping them solvent, that it would adjust the level of CEO-level pay after critics slammed huge compensation packages paid out to former Fannie Mae CEO Franklin Raines and others.

Freddie chief Charles “Ed” Haldeman, who recently announced plans to leave the housing finance agency next year, received a $2.3 million bonus for 2010, along with a base salary of $900,000. The top five execs at Freddie got a total of $6.5 million in performance-based pay for 2010 — and they may get more. That figure doesn’t include a second round of bonuses the execs may receive. Over at Fannie, CEO Michael Williams’s bonus last year came to $2.4 million, while the company’s top five officers got combined performance-based pay of $6.3 million.”

Someone please answer The burning question: With Americans being forced out of their homes in record numbers, while Fannie and Freddie Mac executives romp in obscene profit, whither the “Occupy Wall Street” renegades?

Satire

Someone famous once said about Oakland, California, “There’s No There There!” All of that changed recently when that world-class hypocrite known as Michael Moore invaded the East Bay town in order to connect, spiritually, with the poor souls of “Occupy Oakland,” those abused 99 % whose reality is that of abject poverty and deprivation, conditions that Moore has obviously avoided given his blubber-blasted bum and face.

Although Moore is a rich and powerful media elitist of the hated 1% variety, that truth did not prevent the bloated lefty from speaking out against those who share his privileged station in life.

As reported, in part:

“OAKLAND, Calif. – Filmmaker Michael Moore told anti-Wall Street protesters in Oakland that the Occupy movement – which has spread to cities across America and overseas – in inspiring millions who are angry about corporate excess, income inequality and the failure of politicians to address issues facing the majority of Americans.

Addressing about 1,000 Occupy Oakland protesters in front of City Hall Friday, Moore said the week’s events in Oakland will go down as a “watershed moment” in the Occupy Wall Street movement.”

EARTH TO MICHAEL! Rather than polluting the air over Oakland with hypocrisy and liberal pap, why take a more active role in assisting the ‘Occupy Oakland’ masses?

For example, announce that you will undertake a personal “Hunger Strike” until banks and corporations, excluding only firms that fund left- wing “documentaries,” swear off profits all together.

Moore could further lead by example by donating the money he would normally spend on food and drink each day (reportedly hundreds of dollars) to the “Occupy Oakland” trust fund, thereby providing reliable financial support for the 99 % crowd, indefinitely.

Do it Michael, if not for your Occupy Oakland friends, then for your overtaxed heart which is desperate for “Less Moore” to lug around!
