Big government -- we need it no more

I had wondered what idiots had done away with vents on gas cans, and I finally found out.  I've been considered installing the tire stems on mine....now I will, just because.

Hope & Change, version 2012

Or do they mean Mr. Chang, where ever he is?

 

These are avowed supporters of President Obama, and his bid for re-election.  Go here for a selection of similar photos.

And please note, as per the blog author......these are *NOT* random pictures.  They were selected by Obama staffers.  Think about it while you browse the selection.

"Sometimes I Forget The Magnitude of the Recession"

Obama will certainly feel it when he hits the street in January 2013!

Tax loopholes offer bigger refunds .....

.....to illegal immigrants, than to honest taxpayers.    See the video here.

And please note -- this story comes from a small TV station in Indiana.  The major broadcast networks haven't touched this story.  Imagine that.

There may be a reason why IKEA has good deals

Here's yet another reason not to like socialism OR communism....or just totalitarianism:

The controversial contract to use Cuban prison labor to build IKEA furniture was part of a broader deal between firms run by the Cuban and East German security services that also involved Cuban antiques, cigars and guns, according to a researcher in Berlin.

Documents on the deal, found in the archives of East Germany’s notorious STASI security agency, also refer to Cuban prison labor and indicate that former Cuban leader Fidel Castro personally approved the overall deal, said researcher Jorge Luis García.

Garcia told El Nuevo Herald on Wednesday he published an article about the deal in 2006 that mentioned the Cuban manufacture of furniture “for export to Sweden,” and posted a note about it in his blog, STASI-MININT Connection, early last year.

Flip-flops versus "evolving"

Yes, I'm a crank.

Tax payer funded thuggery continues with the Drug Enforcement Agency:

In a story that would be touching in the ordinary context, an 88 year old man and his 85 year old girlfriend built a portable water purification business from a dream to a reality. Nothing wrong there; such things are supposed to be part of the American Dream.

But now, their business is being ruined by one of the most unaccountable and tyrannical bureaucracies in the history of government, the DEA....

Read the whole thing.  Especially the money quote:

We are no longer governed, but we are ruled. This government is monstrous. It no longer resembles what the founders envisioned, and very few people care. Those who do are ridiculed as cranks.

Yes, I'm a crank.  Are you?

Farmer Markets now accepting food stamps

From Hot Air:

"We are more than $15 trillion in debt, but the Department of Agriculture is dishing out taxpayer money to subsidize costly transactions so that more people will feel invited to the health-food party. The USDA  is apparently unfamiliar with the adage, “You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink.” Not only does the federal government have no business spending other people’s money to try and influence people’s food and health choices, but doing so in no way guarantees that people actually will eat more healthfully — I wonder if they’ve given any thought at all to the opportunity costs or neighborhood effects that could come from their efforts to engineer the perfect crunchy society."

No wonder we are so deeply in debt.

Obama uses cartoon characters to promote his policies

Love him or hate him, for better or for worse, Romney is the most likely Republican candidate for President.

But at least he has a good team behind his campaign, as demonstrated in this video clip, where he mercilessly mocks Obama's "Julia" meme.
