 ANOTHER COLLEGE SHOOTING
I'm sure there will be much conversation today about the shooting yesterday
afternoon at Northern Illinois University. The ignorant, and those who pander
to the ignorant, will start screaming about gun control. Others will understand
that when a deranged idiot decides to go shoot some folks he is going to chose a
place where he feels he is less likely to face retaliation ... at least until he
does what he wants to do. What better place than a place where guns are
outlawed? You'll notice he didn't wander into a gun show and open fire. I
know, the example is extreme ... but the point is made.
More conversation today.
HILLARY AGAINST THE BUSINESSES
More of this kind of fun
here.
You'll be happy to know that
Hillary Rodham is still vowing to go after the greedy corporate interests in
industries such as oil, credit card, insurance, pharmaceutical, investment, and
loan firms.
Hillary knows the research. She fully understands that her supporters are
among the most ignorant and undereducated in our country. So ... when she's in
trouble, why not pander to her core support? The American Dumb Mass Coalition!
Here's how she plans to rein in each and every one of these industries? Are
you ready to enter the mind of a socialist? Just for grins, I'll channel
Hillary at the end of every item so you can see what she is really thinking.
—"We'll take on the oil companies and harness their record profits to create
millions of clean energy jobs – high-wage jobs you can raise a family on. I'll
end their special tax breaks and give them a choice: invest some of your profits
in alternative energy, or we'll do it for you. People have been paying through
the roof at the pump, and it's time the companies paid their fair share."
Yeah ... the morons will buy that one. They wouldn't know a profit from a
profit margin if their lives depended on it. They're upset with the price of
gas, so the oil companies are easy to demonize. Besides ... everyone knows it's
the job of the government to tell businesses what to do with their profits. I'm
sure the teachers, policemen and firemen's retirement funds won't miss the
money.
—"We'll take on the credit card companies so that you and your families aren't
drowning in debt. Here in Ohio, payday lenders are actually taking Social
Security checks from our elderly. That's outrageous. I've proposed real consumer
protections against abusive interest rates – capping them at no more than 30
percent and working to get them far lower. And I'll ban those hidden fees and
sudden rate hikes, because credit card companies shouldn't be able to bait and
switch you and your family."
Well blame this on the credit card companies. These idiots will buy that one
too. It was the evil credit card companies that forced these people to go out
there and spend and spend and charge and charge for lifestyle. After all, the
people who pay off their cards every month aren't likely to vote for me anyway.
As for those payday lenders ... they simply cannot be allowed to create a product
to meet a demand. What do they think this is, a country based on economic
liberty? I'll demonize the pants off those jerks. Votes votes votes!
—"We'll take on the insurance companies and tell them they can no longer
discriminate against the sickest people who need care the most. They spend more
than $50 billion a year trying to figure out how not to cover people. Well, I'm
going to save them a fortune and a whole lot of time, because here's the new
policy: No more discrimination period. So even if you have a pre-existing
condition, you can get the health insurance you need – no questions asked."
People hate insurance companies too. We'll make insurance companies pay off
on the most absurd claims .. and we're going to allow people to smoke and eat
their way into ill health and them we'll make an insurance company insure
them. Yeah, I know. This will drive the cost of insurance through the roof ...
but that's not a bad thing. It will just cause people to become louder in their
demands for government health care.
—"And I'll go after drug companies and insurance companies that are overcharging
consumers and the government – it's time to end their profiteering at our
expense.
Yes, by God, no more profiteering! In Hillary's America evil corporations
will only be allowed to make profits on things that people don't actually need.
I'm a socialist! What did you expect! Somehow I need to figure out how to hide
the fact that cosmetics companies make higher profits than drug companies ...
thanks in no small part to me. We also have to stop these Wal-Marts and Krogers
from setting up pharmacies and selling generic drugs at four bucks a pop. Not
good for my plans for big government.
—"We'll take on Wall Street and tell them: you're going to finally pay your
fair share in taxes. Because it's outrageous that a teacher making $50,000 pays
a higher tax rate than some Wall Street investment managers making $50 million.
And I'll create a bi-partisan Corporate Waste Commission to review all those
corporate subsidies – and propose a comprehensive way to end them. We can save
billions of dollars a year and put it to work for you.
That's the Warren Buffet line .. and it works. Those talk show hosts are
going to remind people that the reason investors pay a higher tax rate than
teachers is because teachers are paying income taxes and investors are paying
capital gains taxes. Two different taxes, two different rates. I'll be sure to
not tell these idiot voters that investors pay the same rates as everyone else
on their earned income. No sense confusing my voters with the facts.
—"We'll take on the student loan companies and tell them no more ripping off
our sons and daughters. I'm proposing a Student Borrower Bill of Rights - no
more deceptive advertising and outrageous fees. And we'll end the inefficient
subsidies for private student loan companies. Because we should be making it
easier for our kids to go to college – not harder."
Actually ... I'm not sure just how many more college educated people we need in
this country. After all, the more educated someone becomes the less likely
they are to believe my bullshit. And how dare these loan companies charge
market rates for student loans anyway?
Hillary, my friends, is in panic mode. Lord knows what other wonderful
promises she's going to come up with in the next days ... and what new attacks
she's going to launch on the free markets.
AMERICA IS SPLIT ON UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE
This is your America, folks.
According to a recent poll by the Harvard School of Public Health, the
majority of Democrats say that "socialize medicine" would be better than our
current health care system. Most Republicans say it would be worse. Here's an
interesting little tidbit ... the survey did not provide a definition of
"socialized medicine," and one in three voters say they did not understand what
"socialized medicine" meant. They don't even know what it is ... and my guess is
that these are the people that said "Sure! Why not? It has to be better than
what we have now!"
Of the people that aren't completely ignorant, 70% of them understood
"socialized medicine" to mean "the government makes sure everyone has health
insurance." On the whole, nationwide, about 45% of respondents said that
socialized medicine would be better for our country, while 39% said it would be
worse.
Now here's something for these people to chew on. The cost for the
government to spend your tax dollars for senior citizens soared to a record
$27,289 per senior in 2007. Last year, for the first time ever, healthcare and
nursing homes cost the tax payers more than Social Security payments, which
averaged $13,184 per senior in 2007. That means that the government spent $952
billion of your tax dollars in 2007 on elderly benefits. That is up from $601
billion in 2000.
Remember this ... seniors vote. Seniors vote in large numbers. Politicians
know where to spend the money to buy votes. Why do you think I call them the
"Gimme Generation?"
Now here's a real winner. David Certner is the legislative policy director
of the AARP. He says, "We have a health care crisis. We don't have an
entitlement crisis." Boy does he have that oh so wrong.
By the way ... in the interest of accuracy ... what we're really talking about
here is fascist health care, not socialist. Under socialism the health care
facilities would be owned by the government and all health care workers would be
government employees. Under fascism the facilities remain in private hands and
the employees remain in the private sector ... the government just controls their
every move.
OPEN WAR ON ISRAEL
A leader of Hezbollah
declared an "open war" against Israel. He declared this during a speech he
made at a funeral for one of his top commanders who was killed in a car bombing
... which he blamed on Israel. He says, "If the Zionists want war, then they
shall have it ... If you want an open war, then let it be an open war."
Glad to see we are getting somewhere on this issue.
AHMADINEJAD ... THE SYMBOL OF PEACE
That's according to the Seminar of Coordination Council of Iranian Youth
Society. They
awarded Mahmoud Ahmadinejad with the statue of "Peace, Friendship and Human
Dignity."
Well I don't know about you, but I would definitely agree with the human
dignity part ... after all, he has such respect for the women in his country ..
.and the gays. Oh, that's right. He says there are no homosexuals in Iran.
Anyway ... he also has a dignified approach to the victims of the Holocaust,
which he denies ever happened.
I'm looking forward to someone taking this Islamic goon out.
READING ASSIGNMENTS
Listen to Neal tell a caller what he believes to be
the black man's greatest
accomplishment.

guy. Get used to it.
Here we go.
One RINO has officially endorsed Barack Obama for president.
House Republicans
walked out of the chamber yesterday after Democrats refused to even bring up
the FISA bill for debate.
Here's the video with Republicans walking off the floor. Those of you who
can understand what has happened here will see just how far the Democrats will
go to protect our country. Not that far at all.
Here's your friendly
pork update from the Congress. Not surprisingly, it doesn't look pretty.
The AP just couldn't stand to report the fact that
the economy was strong in January. It just pains them because it does not
follow their agenda for doom and gloom.
A senior producer for CNN has been fired for
violating its standards for journalism through his blog.

is unless they want to bring this all the way to the Supreme Court.
Prince Charles has called on the EU to address the
"doomsday clock of climate change."
Muslims in Denmark are
upset that newspapers decided to reprint the cartoons of the Prophet
Mohammad. Meanwhile, where is the Muslim outrage for the three men who tried to

Glad to see Saudi Arabia has come a long way. It wants to
execute a woman for performing witchcraft, which, of course, is an offense
against Islam.
For just $2 a day,
you can fund terrorism! At least according to the leader of an al
Qaeda-linked Iraqi group.
Here's some insight into the stellar government educators at the University
of Hawaii at Manoa.
Take Haunani-Kay Trask, for example, who preaches, "The enemy is the United
States of America and everyone who supports it."
A county here in Georgia has such an abysmal school system that they've
decided to
make all of their schools single-sex.
What a big heap of government waste. Katrina victims are being
urged to leave their government-issued trailers (funded by your tax dollars)
as quickly as possible after tests found toxic levels of fumes.
Is this what our government educated children are doing these days for fun ...
at least 82 children have
died from playing a choking game.

from the library because it contains the
true story about two male penguins who raise an egg together. The parent

to be a female) ... yank your poor kids out of there and teach them at home.
Did your little ankle biter
celebrate "Friendship Day" yesterday?
Single American women (many of whom are Hillary supporters) are finding a
hard time
