A limerick on Obama, slavery, Sarah Palin and beholden to foreign masters.

Sarah Palin in a speech to the Faith and Freedom coalition likened our debt to China as a form of slavery.

The left leaning commentators immediately jumped on the claim saying it was racist, because President Obama is part black. On the contrary, according to Webster’s dictionary, slavery is defined as 1: drudgery, toil , 2: submission to a dominating influence, 3: the state of a person who is a chattel of another.

The most common form of slavery today is economic slavery, being in debt above ability to pay back.

Next most common is sex-slaves.

Now for the Limerick about Obama.

Obama of all most depraved.

He tries to make people enslaved.

Total power he craved.

Lies and miscues conveyed.

His tombstone will soon be engraved.

Martin Bashir of NBC and MSNBC said some vile things about Sarah Palin which I will not repeat here, because of its viciousness, but in my opinion he should be fired for such remarks.

For the record, Occupy Wall Street likened debt to slavery too: (picture at right)

Sarah Palin did not back off, but issued this stinger on her Facebook page:

In honor of my saint-of- a-mother & her marathon-running bum hip… Enjoy!

Courtesy of Aunt Katie! Thanks for the reminder that Obama has failed the Golden Rule of politics. He grudgingly “apologized” for his broken website but still isn’t sorry enough to end his unacceptable drive to socialized medicine? Still exempting his chosen ones? Resulting in a free America enslaved to another big government burden? Midterm elections can’t come soon enough.

The “If You Like the insurance You Have, Keep It.” lie. A Limerick.

The official website: http://www.whitehouse.gov/health-care-meeting/proposal/titlei/keepit still comes up ( as of Nov 10 2013, 4 P.M.) with this blatant lie:

It seems that the whole Obama presidency is built on lies.

What about all the people satisfied with their policy that just got their insurance canceled due to changes mandated by “The affordable healthcare act?”

How prevaricators get by

What’s said in the past, they deny.

So Obama lives lies.

Yet this truth still applies:

A lie is a lie is a lie.

Thoughts on Rev Billy Graham’s 95th birthday. A Limerick.

The Rev. Billy Graham just celebrated his 95^th birthday with a special message. What a life this man had! And God even gave him the grace to give a “final” message on God’s grace, ending with the sinner’s prayer. I watched the moving messages, but then it hit me; In the form of a Limerick:

You spoke to the billions on earth

How much is a life like that worth?

In God’s eyes it’s the same

As that bum that just came

to the cross. Of God’s grace there’s no dearth.

Picture, right: Sarah Palin congratulates Billy graham on his 95th birthday. Franklin Graham and Todd Palin are the other two.

The reduction in foodstamp benefits Nov 1 is due to Democrat laws passed in 2010.

Aug 10 2010 President Obama signed a bill that he said would save hundreds of thousands of teacher and other public workers from unemployment.

Obama signed the measure into law just hours after the House passed it in a special one-day session during what would normally be the lawmakers’ summer break.

The $26 billion bill would protect 300,000 teachers, police and others from election-year layoffs. Obama and Democrats said quick action was necessary before children return to classrooms minus teachers laid off because of budgetary crises in states that have been hard-hit by the recession.

Republicans called the bill a giveaway to teachers unions and an example of wasteful Washington spending.

The bill would be paid for partly by closing a tax loophole used by multinational corporations, but mainly by reducing food stamp benefits for the poor starting in 2013. It passed mainly along party lines by a vote of 247-161.

The time is now to pay the piper. The reported reason is the expiration of the stimulus program, but it is not that simple.

In August 2010, Congress passed and the President signed P.L. 111-226, which accelerated the sunset of the ARRA benefit increase to April 2014 and used the estimated savings for state fiscal relief through additional federal funding for school districts to maintain teachers’ jobs and maintaining a higher federal match for Medicaid costs. Four months later, the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act (P.L. 111-296), which reauthorized Child Nutrition programs, further accelerated the sunset date of ARRA to October 31, 2013, to offset the cost of the legislation. As a result, beginning on November 1, 2013, SNAP benefit levels will be based on the cost of the June 2013 TFP, which is lower than the ARRA levels.

Reconvening of Congress, their action quite speedy
To bail out the unions, they all are so greedy.
Harry, Nancy and Barack
Act together as a pack:
Take it from food stamps! Who cares ‘bout the needy?

Will the press even mention that the cuts are caused by Democrat actions in 2010?

On mom Grizzly, Gorilla and crony capitalism. A Limerick.

There once is a gal from Wasilla;

Was said to be one imbecilla.

But she knows what is right.

When it comes to a fight

Mom Grizzly will stuff their gorilla.

What’s with those fake faintings for Obama? A Limerick.

A woman did fain fake a faint

It’s staged, and performed rather quaint.

So the public is tricked

For Obama is wicked.

He dazzles, but real it ain’t.

There is a rather astute analysis of the event seen here:

And it is not the first time it has happened. It must be working.

A new little ice age is looming! Ten days in new all time record for ice in the Antartics! A Limerick.

NSIDC.org is back in business after the partial government shutdown and published its daily satellite data for ice in the southern hemisphere.

Ten days record ice set down under.

The IPCC torn asunder.

For the Ice does not lie.

Kiss the warming good-bye.

It’s worse than a crime, it’s a blunder.

In 2012 NOAA’s South Hemisphere Sea Ice Extent set a new all time record with 11 of the 12 highest levels ever recorded.

These are the top 12 highest Antarctic Sea Ice Extent’s of all time (in the satellite record)!

11 of the top 12 extents are now in 2013!

This must be an inconvenient truth since NOAA isn’t mentioning it.

Day year ice extent (million sq. km)

273 2013 19.57088 (Oct 1)

264 2013 19.51394

257 2013 19.51234

270 2013 19.50797

258 2013 19.48591

263 2013 19.48309

269 2013 19.47161

274 2013 19.46862

265 2013 19.46830

260 2013 19.45470

266 2012 19.45418

262 2013 19.45109

Finally, the ice is melting, three weeks after spring has started in Antarctica, but the icepack is 1.1 million square kilometers (around 6 %) above the 30 year average

Palin, Levin stump for Lonegan in New Egypt, N.J. A Limerick.

Real Hope has arrived in New Egypt;

Obama from Palin got horsewhipped.

Levin too took a bow:

Elect Lonegan now.

For up until now we’ve been – eh – gypped.

Rally for Illegal Aliens but Veterans are shut out. A Limerick.

Pelosi Thanks Obama For Giving Special Treatment To Pro-Illegal Immigration Protesters Using National Mall During Shutdown…

They march to the National Mall
Illegals are heeding the call
While the Vets are locked out
Aliens gather and shout
Pelosi is praising their gall.

Nine days in all time record territory for Ice in Antarctica so far this year! A Limerick.

(update: Sep 30 came in with the 3:rd highest level ever at 19.50483 million square km of ice in Antarctica. October first NASA shut down so we do not know if October first was in record territory)

The Ice is still growing down under.
