Timing Is Everything

Hot Air has an excellent article and a video by FreedomWorks depicting current events and government policies against the backdrop of the just released movie, Atlas Shrugs Part 1.

At the moment, there are only three locations here in Maryland showing the movie. If you live in or near Annapolis, Gaithersburg or Bethesda, you have better luck than most of us to go see it.

There just might be more theaters showing this movie, if we are lucky.

POTUS Wants Congress Out of His Business

Funny, that.
Imagine, the Constitution keeps getting in his way.

One rider – Section 2262 — de-funds certain White House adviser positions – or “czars.” The president in his signing statement declares that he will not abide by it.

Is this Constitutional, or not? Sounds to me that our POTUS loves (too much) to show his temper with the people and our allies, but not our enemies (his friends?). He throws us into deep, deep debt, does not end the wars he has been against and starts a third.

Don’t know about anyone else, but this elected individual should never have been put into this job as POTUS. He keeps contradicting himself.

Come on 2012.

An aside but perhaps very telling.

Our Debt Explained

Ignoring The Gorilla In the Room

At our peril.

Stalking our POTUS.

Warring Against the Classes

Or, just one class. Trouble is, the POTUS has just one class in mind. And he wants automatic tax hikes when they (he) overspends.

His solution? Check this out –

A “debt failsafe trigger,” Obama’s scheme would automatically raise taxes if politicians spend too much. According to the talking points distributed by the White House, the automatic tax increase would take effect “if, by 2014, the projected ratio of debt-to-GDP is not stabilized and declining toward the end of the decade.”

Use of Our Tax Money

In order to sell us on Obamacare. Up to $200M of our hard earned money.

How does that make you feel now? I need a drink. Oops, Maryland legislature just increased taxes on alcoholic drinks by 50%. Guess that’s not going to work.

Incompetence From the Top Down

April Fools has been over for a bit.

So why would the White House think we would find their tacit admission that their 2012 budget plan wasn’t serious – funny?

This is beyond infuriating. This is unconscionable, ill-conceived, unwarranted and – to me – treasonous to the extreme since it detrimentally affects every – single – living (and yet to be) American in this country.

Planned Parenthood UnPlugged

By a local NPR station in Los Angeles.

How about that.

Oh, off topic – a tad, guess who’s going to announce cuts in Medicare and Medicaid in his speech this week?
That’s right. Barack Obama.

Say thanks to the POTUS, parents and grandparents. Or not.

Historic Scam Indeed

As pointed out by The Great One, Mark Levin.

UPDATE: Putting the Record Straight

Regarding the Thuggery in Wisconsin, and elsewhere.

Make no mistake: The knock-down, drag-out battle in Wisconsin is based on total self-interest, pushing for past privileges, recast as workers’ “rights” that ultimately could bankrupt that state. One would think “collective bargaining rights” are immutable, found in the Bill of Rights, or in The Universal Rights of Man, to hear the public union officials and their lackeys in the Legislature. It is simply not so.

Gary Larson is quite right.

UPDATE: And in Washington state we have this:
