The operative quote"
"Former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Pa.) said Tuesday that America's "abortion culture" is at the heart of problems with the nation's Social Security system. The likely 2012 presidential contender, who earned a reputation as a hardcore social conservative during his time in Congress, said thanks to the number of abortions in the United States each year, not enough children are being born to support the system in the long term.
"The Social Security system, in my opinion, is a flawed design, period," Santorum said in a Tuesday morning interview with WEZS Radio in Laconia, N.H. "But having said that, the design would work a lot better if we had stable demographic trends." Santorum said the reason for the trouble is that "we don't have enough workers to support the retirees. Well, a third of all the young people in America are not in America today because of abortion.""
Exactly! When you have a forced confiscatory tax to fund a ponzi scheme and you start running out of suckers to continue to fund the ponzi scheme; well guess what, it goes broke. So the federal government had one branch of government telling all workers they had to pay because it was necessary to achieve full retirement for all and another branch of government making it acceptable to kill millions of future American citizens necessary to carry out retirement nirvana. This is what is called an unintended consequence. From this we can further extrapolate that many baby boomers were complicit in the demise of their own future retirement.
The other interesting revelation about the "Rowe effect" is it casts a bright light on Republicans who run around claiming they are "fiscal conservatives" and not "social conservatives." Here is the most socially liberal ruling/procedure/policy/belief/program - call it what you want - known in America and guess what, it has had a huge negative fiscal impact on the United States. Not only on the funding of Social Security but on the huge transfer of wealth from Americans to Planned Parenthood and NARAL. What the RINO's don't know, or don't want you to know, is there is always a fiscal hit to the economy for social program. So if a Republican says they are "fiscally conservative" and not "socially conservative" you know better - they are just smarmy.

Senators defend civil rights of Muslim Americans, warn against unfair judgment - TheHill.com
Operative quote:
"“Many law-abiding Muslim Americans face discrimination and charges that they are not real Americans, simply because of their religion. It’s wrong to blame the entire community for the wrongdoing of a few,” said Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.). “Guilt by association is not the American way. And American Muslims are entitled to the same constitutional protections as every other American,” he said."
Well Mr. Durbin also said:
Durbin slams Tea Party, rallies local Dems
"He delivered a stinging rebuke to the Tea Party, which he castigated as misguided defenders of the super-rich.
“They don’t speak for America, they barely speak for their own party,” he said. “Now, the Tea Party can take over the Republican Party, they can have them, but they are not going to take over this country.”"
So which is it Honorable Senator Dick Durbin "Guilt by association is not the American way," or guilt by association is the American way? Or is it just the Honorable Senator Dick Durbin's way however the political winds of fortune blow?
This is way to easy - you shoot from the hip and the target is so big it all hits something.

The Senate's 'iron woman' - TheHill.com
Operative quote:
"“Her body of work, the fact that she’s now the longest-serving female senator, her efforts on behalf of educational initiatives, veterans’ affairs, women’s health issues, I think all combined to make her an exceptional candidate,” said Christine Moulton, executive director of the Hall.
“I am so honored to be inducted into the National Women’s Hall of Fame,” Mikulski wrote in an e-mail to The Hill. “My fellow inductees inspire women around the world with their strength, courage and commitment to service.”Among the other 2011 inductees are such trailblazers as jazz great Billie Holiday and civil rights advocate Coretta Scott King. This year’s class also features a familiar face for the Maryland senator: that of the namesake of the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, which passed in 2009 and for which Mikulski was a co-sponsor."
So I read this: “My fellow inductees inspire women around the world with their strength, courage and commitment to service.” I first thought who is this woman? I've never heard of her! Then I wondered what is the "National Women’s Hall of Fame?" I had no idea this even existed! So I wondered, if I, an American citizen, who has never heard of the "longest-serving female senator" and the "National Women's Hall of Fame" how "inductees inspire women around the world" when 99.9% of the women in the world have never heard of these people. It is clearly a stretch to imagine the Honorable Sen. Barbara Mikulski having anything but a breath of influence to the World. Then I reread her accomplishments and suddenly it all became clear. "...educational initiatives, veterans’ affairs, women’s health issues..." and "Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act" are why I have never heard of her - these are non-issues. These are problems conjured up in Western Universities - Women's studies courses to conjure up victims needing the Honorable Sen. Barbara Mikulski's to muddle around in their business. Which is why she has no influence over 99.9 % of the Worlds women these are non-issues to them also. If she really wanted to have an influence she would co-sponsor real bills addressing real problems like: clean water, vaccinations for childhood diseases, China's one child policy - female genocide, the slave trade in women, persecution of Christians, increasing western style democracy (So women can be born, live, go to school, not be prostituted, vote, have children, granchildren and great-grandchildren and the ability to choose all this, receive protection from their governments and not have it taken away from them at any moment)

Reid urges GOP to ditch Tea Party - The Hill's On The Money
Operative quote:
"Reid insisted it is those GOP internal divisions that are threatening to shut down the government after April 8, in less than two weeks.
“For the sake of our economy, it’s time for mainstream Republicans to stand up to the Tea Party and rejoin Democrats at the table to negotiate a responsible solution that cuts spending while protecting jobs," he said.
Last week Reid put $7.5 billion in discretionary cuts and $3.5 billion in mandatory savings on the table as a counteroffer to the $51 billion in additional cuts the GOP is seeking."
The Honorable Senator Harry Reid is so much fun! Are you sure Harry - "For the sake of our economy...?" "Those dastardly Tea Party candidates are going to ruin, yes I say ruin, ruin, ruin or economy." The "mainstream Republicans" (Who are those guys anyway?) better control those Tea Party Republicans and rejoin the Democrats at spending more tax dollars to save the economy!
$7.5 billion + $3.5 billion = $11 billion - there is a great negeotiating position for Harry Reid to counter the $51 billion proposed by Republicans. This is where I distance myself from Republican politicians and admit they are the "party of stupid." Have not one of them ever sold an automobile, or bargained with anyone. Even my daughter knows you throw a high number out there so the buyer will counter with a number close to what you expect. So if you want to hit $100 billion in budget cuts - you propose $500 billion in cuts. But you don't negotiate low at $51 billion in cuts and then go lower when you have told the voters you want to slash $100 billion! Stupid, stupid, stupid politicians.
I say vote out the non-Tea Party Candidates and the incumbent "Do what Harry Reid tells you" Republicans who still believe it is their job to compromise and reach across the isle and do something. No, we are the party of Hell No! Just do nothing and take up space in your seat. Shut down the government for two months so all the "Public Servants," can drift away in desperation for some job to pay their mortgages and bills. With the savings pay off what we borrowed from China.

Fast to begin Monday to protest proposed GOP budget cuts - The Hill's On The Money
Operative quote:
"Former Rep. Tony Hall (D-Ohio), the head of the Alliance to End Hunger, told The Hill Friday that Democrats are not doing enough to ensure the cuts do not become law, and he is fasting to give a “voice to the voiceless.”"
What is wrong with this quote? Not sure? That's OK you have to know things about non-profit organizations and being "head." The "head" is another name for the CEO, the executive officer, the top honcho. This means if the federal government cuts the funding for Allince to End Hunger it means "former Rep. Tony Hall (D-Ohio)" will not be living off the public dole and be forced to find private funds to pay his wages. So much for "...fasting to give a "voice to the voiceless"" Now if the head of the Alliance to End Hunger - "former Rep. Tony Hall (D-Ohio)" had been doing his job he would have found private funding to continue operations without the need for government funding. But alas most non-profits relying on Federal funding never meet the requirement to get off the public dole as their funding regulations require; they always come back to the government because they can never sell private individuals on investing (Donating) into their mismanaged non-profit. My personal experience is the top 4 or 5 individuals (Executive, vice president, CFO and HR director) usually consume 25% of the funding stream for their over inflated salaries.

Conyers calls for inquiry of treatment of Muslim Americans - The Hill's Blog Briefing Room
Operative quote:
"With federal hearings on radicalization and intense scrutiny by law enforcement of religious institutions, the American-Islamic community today is living in a climate that has the risk of producing a siege mentality,” said Conyers in a statement.
“The American-Islamic community should know that the federal government will protect the interests of the community, while maintaining the appropriate focus on national security.”"
Heck with the "American-Islamic community" how about the "American-Christian community," or the "American Patriot community," or the "American Teaparty community," or the "American Vast Right Wing Conspiracy community," or just the "American community" forget the hyphens. There is a sence today by a significant majority of Americans who believe we are "...living in a climate that has the risk of producing a siege mentality" and it is not between law enforcement and Americans it is between Honorable Congressmen like John Conyers and Americans. At least we have a politician understanding the mood of the country, it is just to bad he does not realize the disdain is for himself.
Well I sure hope The Honorable Congressman Mr. Conyers is willing to extend his promise of the federal government protecting the interests of the community to all Americans. Oh wait, The Honorable Congressman Mr. Conyers has not a clue - by his votes - about the interests of regular Americans. How could he know the interests of the "American-Islamic community?"

Tax break for charitable giving targeted for elimination again - The Hill's On The Money
Operative quote:
“We don't like doing this,” Geithner told the Senate Finance Committee. “The only reason we're doing this is because, as many people have recognized in this room, we have unsustainable deficits. We've got to bring them down over time. And that's going to force us to do things we'd otherwise not like to do.”
"We don't like doing this." "...force us to do things we'd otherwise not like to do." Does anyone believe these continued lies? Usually when I don't like something... I don't do it! And when I like something I do it! Therefore logically - they want to do this and like doing it.
When they give less of a percentage for itemized deductions specifically - charitable giving - it is a tax increase. If they really wanted to improve the economy, put more revenue into the confiscatory tax bucket and help Americans in these difficult times they would increase - yes increase - charitable giving because most of the new charitable giving to non-profits would be used for buying supplies, increased payrolls for hiring more staff to provide more services, increasing wages to low paid workers, and increased wages to management staff which would generate a significant increase in taxes back to the federal government. This in itself dispels the assumption the Democratic Party is the party of the less fortunate.
Think about this - what is a more subversive way for Democratic Politicians to get "the wealthy" to voluntarily transfer their wealth to the less fortunate than through charitable giving? Is this not what they ultimately want? Do you understand why Democrats cannot think this way? You are right! Democrats are not charitable givers so they assume everyone has to be forced to give up their wealth through taxation.
There should not be wealthy, or non-wealthy people. There should be American Taxpayers only.
"Ah, the world of counter intuitiveness - think smart, think new, 180 degrees with the few."

Lawmakers May Force Schools to Spend Scarce Funds on Gay-Friendly Instruction
news@pacificjustice.wtvms.com
Operative quote:
"SB 48 is being touted by Sen. Mark Leno (D-San Francisco), who is himself gay. Specifically, the bill requires that U.S. history, California history, and social science be taught with a deliberate emphasis on the roles and contributions of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) persons."
Yes, we are so excited to learn about the "contributions of (LGBT) persons." So how long should such a history lesson be? I mean a group of individuals making up maybe 4% of the population should receive their equal opportunity time of 4% of the instruction time. Formula: 180 days X .04 = 7.2 days of instruction... oh wait are there "contributions of (LGBT) persons" adding up to 7.2 days of instructions?
Maybe a better equation would be an incompetent Honorable Sen. Mark Leno spending California taxpayers money and time worrying about his own pet peeve project to highlight accomplishments of maybe 4% of the population at the detriment of 100% of California!
This is why I have a negative image of "(LGBT) persons." When overwhelming number of citizens are concerned about the bigger problems in education - graduation rates, lack of academic ability by students graduating, violence in schools, the overrun costs of education - "(LGBT) persons" are perseverating on themselves and their image.

Fatal crashes prompt bus safety hearing - The Hill's Transportation Report
“The tragic series of bus crashes in New Jersey and the Northeast have exposed serious weaknesses in the safety of our nation’s bus system,” Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.), the chairman of the Senate Transportation’s Surface Transportation subcommittee, said in a statement."
Frank, Frank, FRANK! A "series" is more than two crashes! "Duh" - slap head here!
As a voter in America - I really don't see how two bus crashes in the northeast killing 15 people at the tail end of the worst winter ever recorded has "exposed serious weakness in the safety of our bus system." What I would say is it has exposed a serious weakness in our election process to choose viable leaders to do real work for the people - like for example - protecting Americans from domestic (Muslim) acts of terror, ensuring the sovereignty on the southern American border with a WALL, eliminating trillions of dollars of national debt, creating a climate of freedom to allow millions of individuals out of work - to go back to work, eliminating Federal Government programs which lead to foreclosures on an unprecedented scale and eliminating barriers to domestic oil drilling and production which are causing rising oil prices and the loss of security. "Now those are "serious weaknesses" Frank!" But you go on being distracted and unfocused Frank, me, I am going to stay focused on seeing people like you retired and forgotten in 2012.

GOP Sen. Brown opposes Planned Parenthood cuts - The Hill's Blog Briefing Room
The operative quote is: "I support family planning and health services for women," Brown said in a statement. "Given our severe budget problems, I don't believe any area of the budget is completely immune from cuts. However, the proposal to eliminate all funding for family planning goes too far."
This is stunning, absolutely stunning! A Republican idiot who believes women go into Planned Parenthood for "family planning" and "health services" "Mr. Brown, what women do you know that go to Planned Parenthood for PAP smears, Mammograms, Flu shots and etc?" "Mr. Brown how does a woman plan a family at Planned Parenthood? Better yet - "Mr. Brown, I again pose the question, do you know any women who have gone to Planned Parenthood to plan a family?"
Only an idiot politician must not know what everyone else knows - Planned Parenthood does abortions period. And women go there for abortions period. For everything else there is VISA - I mean - General Practitioners or real doctors in real doctors offices.
Oh, and in an attempt towards full disclosure I gave to "The Honorable" Mr. Brown's campaign! Ahhhhhhhh!

Ahh,The President Speaks about Gun Control - Gun control no longer a dormant issue - TheHill.com
Gun control no longer a dormant issue - TheHill.com
The operative quote:
“A man our Army rejected as unfit for service; a man one of our colleges deemed too unstable for studies; a man apparently bent on violence was able to walk into a store and buy a gun,” Obama wrote Sunday in an op-ed in Tucson’s Arizona Daily Star.
“I’m willing to bet that responsible, law-abiding gun owners agree that we should be able to keep an irresponsible, law-breaking few — dangerous criminals and fugitives, for example — from getting their hands on a gun in the first place.”
The problem: Jared Lee Loughner did not break any laws. Being rejected by the military is not breaking the law. Surely being ..."deemed too unstable for studies;" by a college is not breaking a law. (Wouldn't that preclude all the females looking for their MRS?) The president is right I do want those "dangerous criminals and fugitives" with felony convictions to be refused gun ownership - absolutely. Not arrested, not suspicion, but convicted and time served.

The starting post - finally the correct name!
Since I am the only one here this is for me to remember why I decided on today and why I decided to post. The most important was the name - I finally arrived at a name. The other is the sudden plethora of stupid quotes, idiotic ideas and unreasonable power grabbing restrictions to American's lives. The consequence of a weak President who is ignorant of his first priority - defending the Sovereignty of the American Citizen. Of course all the intrusions on the American Citizen's Sovereignty are proposed in the name of "protecting" the American Citizen - hence forth "The Slaves," "Unwashed Masses," the "Non-Elites." When I say, "Stupid, stupid, stupid Politician!" or "Stupid, stupid, stupid Bureaucrat!" think Gollum/ Smegol - with contempt!
Will it be all contempt - no because I am an American Citizen and I do think in spite of my lousy education, years of media indoctrination and infernal brain washing about the government as the Great Benevolent Master. This is what liberty is about - where Yankee ingenuity came from - the ability for the Citizen to choose how to solve their own problems and the source of help they choose to elicit. So from time-to-time I will blow my own horn - my own blog page - on what I believe will allow American Citizens to prosper and therefore America to continue to shine. Trust me - those who lament America's demise - are premature in their obituaries.
