Scott Walker takes on Obama ping
“Wisconsin governor Scott Walker tells THE WEEKLY STANDARD that Obama’s comments reflect a fundamental misunderstanding of the economy.”
And Scott Walker’s comments reflect a fundamental misunderstand of who and what Obama is:
A full blown MARXIST who hates this country and western civilization and who is SUCCEEDING WONDERFULLY in destroying it the way he said he would.
Until the chowderheads get that straight, we are at a severe disadvantage.
Socialism that controls individuals from cradle-to-grave OR free individuals that can pursue their dreams.
Leftism ALWAYS fails - economically. See history and current events.
Leftism ALWAYS fails morally - responsible for 200 million deaths in 20th century.
Only pure evil or an "intellectual" would be dumb enough to choose leftism.
economy success should be judged by how productive society is, not by the flawed GDP calculation which include government spending
Good to see Walker leveraging his political hay.
I smell 1980 in the wind.
The polls at this time that cycle had Carter up on Reagan by 12-15 points. We know what happened. My sense is Romney in a landslide.
The media has only a short time to get right with the incoming administration...they have the summer to choose Obama or real neutrality...hope they choose well.
Go to BUZZ FEED and see Lanny Davis of the Clinton camp doing a smackdown of the nazis in the Obama campaign. The Dems begin to meltdown.
Scott Walker: Obama’s Comments Reflect a Fundamental Misunderstanding of the Economy
Misunderstanding? Uh NO... it’s called complete and utter IGNORANCE!
Yes, unlike the federal government they cannot print money.
An “I resent the implication that Poland is under Soviet domination” (Gerald R. Ford) and “I have consulted my daughter Amy about nuclear disarmament” (Jimbo Carter) moment. Fortunately, it’s on tape for future use in ads. In fact, the IIC (Imbecile in Chief) has provided a gold mine of such clips which we can only hope are being collected for effective use this year. Ridicule and laughter are to narcissistic Liberals what garlic and silver are to a vampire.
That proves it. Walker is a racist just like George Wallace! sarc
And so was every southern democrat voter in the 60s. Now those sountherners’ children are voting liberal out of guilt. There’s a book! THE GUILT OF MY FATHERS.
“There are two very different views in the country. The current administration seems to think that success is measured by how many people are dependent on the government. I think success is measured by how many are not.”
-Governor Scott Walker-
Obummer understands the economy well. He was just surprised that not everyone swallowed his LIES this time.
That battle is between the ideas of liberty and the ideas of tyranny, masked as a benevolent government which "takes care" of us. The president is the so-called "progressive" spokesman for the latter, and should be identified as such.
This is a time, much like 1776, when, if liberty is to survive, the "American mind" (Jefferson's description) must come together around the principles of the Declaration of Independence and the 1787 Constitution to limit government power, which was based on those principles.
It was freedom of individual enterprise, under "the influence" of a "benign" government (Madison) which brought economic wealth and growth for the nation and the so-called achievement of the "American Dream" for individuals.
America did not go from being a wilderness, whose occupants still used the tools of ancient Europe, to being the most free, most prosperous, and most admired nation on the earth in the eyes of oppressed individuals all over the globe by a belief that employment in various levels of a government which planned and regulated its citizens would produce wealth and opportunity.
To the contrary, "the wealth of nations," according to moral philosopher Adam Smith and America's Founders arises when individuals are free and government is limited by a written Constitution of laws securing their Creator-endowed rights.
No amount of top-down imposition of equality of results can achieve such results.
From the Liberty Fund Library is "A Plea for Liberty: An Argument Against Socialism and Socialistic Legislation," edited by Thomas Mackay (1849 - 1912), Chapter 1, excerpted final paragraphs from Edward Stanley Robertson's essay:
"I have suggested that the scheme of Socialism is wholly incomplete unless it includes a power of restraining the increase of population, which power is so unwelcome to Englishmen that the very mention of it seems to require an apology. I have showed that in France, where restraints on multiplication have been adopted into the popular code of morals, there is discontent on the one hand at the slow rate of increase, while on the other, there is still a 'proletariat,' and Socialism is still a power in politics.
I.44
"I have put the question, how Socialism would treat the residuum of the working class and of all classes—the class, not specially vicious, nor even necessarily idle, but below the average in power of will and in steadiness of purpose. I have intimated that such persons, if they belong to the upper or middle classes, are kept straight by the fear of falling out of class, and in the working class by positive fear of want. But since Socialism purposes to eliminate the fear of want, and since under Socialism the hierarchy of classes will either not exist at all or be wholly transformed, there remains for such persons no motive at all except physical coercion. Are we to imprison or flog all the 'ne'er-do-wells'?
I.45
"I began this paper by pointing out that there are inequalities and anomalies in the material world, some of which, like the obliquity of the ecliptic and the consequent inequality of the day's length, cannot be redressed at all. Others, like the caprices of sunshine and rainfall in different climates, can be mitigated, but must on the whole be endured. I am very far from asserting that the inequalities and anomalies of human society are strictly parallel with those of material nature. I fully admit that we are under an obligation to control nature so far as we can. But I think I have shown that the Socialist scheme cannot be relied upon to control nature, because it refuses to obey her. Socialism attempts to vanquish nature by a front attack. Individualism, on the contrary, is the recognition, in social politics, that nature has a beneficent as well as a malignant side. The struggle for life provides for the various wants of the human race, in somewhat the same way as the climatic struggle of the elements provides for vegetable and animal life—imperfectly, that is, and in a manner strongly marked by inequalities and anomalies. By taking advantage of prevalent tendencies, it is possible to mitigate these anomalies and inequalities, but all experience shows that it is impossible to do away with them. All history, moreover, is the record of the triumph of Individualism over something which was virtually Socialism or Collectivism, though not called by that name. In early days, and even at this day under archaic civilisations, the note of social life is the absence of freedom. But under every progressive civilisation, freedom has made decisive strides—broadened down, as the poet says, from precedent to precedent. And it has been rightly and naturally so.

"Freedom is the most valuable of all human possessions, next after life itself. It is more valuable, in a manner, than even health. No human agency can secure health; but good laws, justly administered, can and do secure freedom. Freedom, indeed, is almost the only thing that law can secure. Law cannot secure equality, nor can it secure prosperity. In the direction of equality, all that law can do is to secure fair play, which is equality of rights but is not equality of conditions. In the direction of prosperity, all that law can do is to keep the road open. That is the Quintessence of Individualism, and it may fairly challenge comparison with that Quintessence of Socialism we have been discussing. Socialism, disguise it how we may, is the negation of Freedom. That it is so, and that it is also a scheme not capable of producing even material comfort in exchange for the abnegations of Freedom, I think the foregoing considerations amply prove." EDWARD STANLEY ROBERTSON
“the same kind of flexibility as the federal government in dealing with fewer revenues coming in.”
The ‘flexibility’ of indenturing the children, grandchildren and unborn.
4. Obama during his press conference today stated "the private sector is doing fine."
How could he say such a thing?
Well, I'll explain it ONE MORE TIME, because people simply do not want to believe what has happened.
Barack Obama is a slack-jawed, mouth-breathing imbecile who doesn't have the brains God gave a goldfish. He is also a hard-core drug user. He smokes weed in "Choom Wagon One" to "mellow" and smokes crack, and probably does cocaine when he needs to be "up" for campaign appearances. He has no idea what he is saying most of the time, and is so stupid that he lacks the self-awareness to know when he has said something monumentally stupid, such as we saw this morning. He is not smart, hence his complete inability to speak extemporaneously and his mere passing familiarity with the English language. He is in no way competent on any level, hence his staggering lack of command on any topic except sports involving big, sweaty mens. He is not actually engaged in any meaningful policy discussion or formation. Obama himself is a puppet front kept entertained with drugs, golf, and gay sex, and the golf may only be a cover for the gay sex. People who play golf with any frequency tend to develop something that resembles a golf SWING. Barack Obama can not swing a golf club competently despite playing more golf than the avid, semi-retired, country club golfers I know.
The people running the White House per se are Valerie Jarrett and Michelle Obama, who are themselves profoundly unintelligent people who are getting their material and marching orders from people like Soros, Maurice Strong, Leo Gerard, and maybe even Vladimir Putin and Beijing by extension - the global Communist leaders.
Obama is simply a complete idiot. Stop trying to push a square peg into a round hole. Stop trying to process this using the assumption that Obama is in any way intelligent. Face reality. He isn't a Manchurian candidate. He isn't brainwashed. You have to actually have a BRAIN in order to be brainwashed. Obama is a mentally defective, drug-addled, sodomite psychopath that a cadre of Communist oligarchs are using as a theatrical facade.
The states must balance their budgets by law. The federal government borrows 42 cents of every federal dollar spent. Under Obmama, the size of the federal government has increased. Who pays for government? The taxpayers. More government means less money for the private sector.
