Sarah Palin was right on Ukraine! A Limerick.

Now Putin invades poor Ukraine;Putin's Ukraine

Ms. Palin was right once again,

For she said in 08

“After Georgia, just wait

Trust Putin is flat out inane.”

Well, I took poetic license on the Palin quote. What she really said in a rally in Nevada, October 08:  “After the Russian Army invaded the nation of Georgia, Senator Obama’s reaction was one of indecision and moral equivalence, the kind of response that would only encourage Russia’s Putin to invade Ukraine next.”ukraine3n-20-web

She was soundly ridiculed at the time for being naïve and ignorant about world events. Time has proven her right again and again.

On the other hand Hillary Clinton gave the “Reset ” button to Russsia. It said “Peregruzka”. The only problem with that is that peregruzka means “Overcharge” in Russian.peregruzkareset

So Putin did.

And Obama promised he would be more flexible after his re-election. Like this:

The Fiscal condition of all 50 States.

The Mercatus Center of George Mason University has come out with a study of which states are most fiscally solvent. These are their rankings of all 50 states. The best fiscal status in enjoyed by states ruled by a Republican governor, Republican legislature. There are 24 of these with an average score of 1.02

1. Alaska                               8.80mercatus

2. South Dakota                2.79

3. North Dakota                2.75

4. Nebraska                        2.53

5. Wyoming                        2.23

6. Florida                              1.99

7. Ohio                                  1.71

8. Tennessee                     1.71

10. Alabama                        1.25

11. Utah                               1.03

12. Oklahoma                    0.93

13. Idaho                             0.70

15. Indiana                          0.53

17. Wisconsin                     0.12

19. Mississippi                   −0.14

20. Texas                             −0.18

21. South Carolina            −0.19

27. Kansas                           −0.40

28. Georgia                         −0.45

30. Michigan                       −0.51

31. Arizona                          −0.51

33. North Carolina            −0.57

34. Louisiana                      −0.60

42. Pennsylvania              −1.31

Next in line for fiscal responsibility is to have a Democrat Governor, Republican Legislature (4) Avg 0.38

9. Montana                         1.66

14. Missouri                        0.60

25. Virginia                          −0.28

29. Arkansas                       −0.47

Then comes a Republican Governor, Split Legislature. There is only one of those:

18. Iowa                               0.09

Now we are getting into negative territory for fiscal solvency. That is to have a Republican Governor, Democrat Legislature. There are four of those with an average of -0.92

16. Nevada                         0.49

26. New Mexico               −0.34

36. Maine                            −1.00

50. New Jersey                 −2.81

Only slightly worse is to have a Democrat Governor, split Legislature. There are three of them with an average 0f  -0.98

22. New Hampshire        −0.21

40. Kentucky                      −1.26

43. Hawaii                            −1.46

And finally, worst of all is to have a Democrat Governor, Democrat Legislature. The fourteen of them have an average score of -1.31

23. Washington                 −0.23

24. Colorado                       −0.24

32. Oregon                          −0.57

35. Minnesota                   −0.87

37. Delaware                      −1.14

38. Vermont                       −1.17

39. Rhode Island               −1.18

41. West Virginia              −1.30

44. Maryland                      −1.59

45. New York                     −1.78

46. California                      −2.01

47. Massachusetts           −2.23

48. Illinois                            −2.42

49. Connecticut                 −2.48

This helps to explain why Democrats want the Federal Government to handle everything for them since their states are hopelessly irresponsible with their states affairs, while Republicans as a rule tend to want to have every state handle their own affairs as they see best fit.

One further startling observation is that New Jersey under Governor Chris Christie came in dead last. This helps to explain the reluctance of the more conservative (or fiscally responsible states) to endorse him for President.

On the other hand, Alaska came in first, not in small part due to the heroic efforts of Sarah Palin during her 31.7 month reign as Governor, where she managed to get the Credit Rating for her state to go from AA to AA+ and then raised again to AAA shortly after her resignation. She accomplished more in this short time than most governors do in two terms.

This also helps in part to explain the irrational hatred for Sarah Palin. She did clean up the graft and corruption in Alaska, and they are afraid she would do the same on a national level should she become President.

IRS harassment. A Limerick.

The IRS targets Chuck NeathPalin-and-dad-statue-of-liberty-ap

And dogs as they are show their teeth.

But they did come up dry,

Though six times they did try.

Harassment the cause underneath.

 

Chuck Heath, Jr. wrote on Facebook that his father had never heard from the IRS before 2008. Since then, he said, the IRS has tried to “dig up something on him but he’s always operated above board.”

“Coincidence? You decide,” he wrote.

He continued:

My father, who worked multiple jobs and faithfully and honestly paid his taxes for fifty years, had never heard a word from the IRS. In 2008, his daughter was tapped to run for vice president of the United States. Since that time, he has been, in his words “horribly harassed” six times by the agency. They’ve tried to dig up something on him but he’s always operated above board. Government and politics are ugly. Kudos to the few that are trying to clean it up.

Hmm. Let me see. There is less than one chance in 100 that you are “randomly” targeted for an audit. To be targeted six years in a row and still finding nothing the odds are less than 1 divided by 100x100x100x100x100x100 or less than 1 in a trillion that is was not on purpose.

My guess is that it was the people that used to sue Sarah Palin 20 times while she was Governor, losing every time, acting as informants, thereby triggering the audits. Or, it could have been IRS itself acting on order from the political wing of the government. (I don’t have the faintest idea who that may refer to, the corruption is endemic)

To add insult to injury, it was reported this week that the government has decided to sweep Obama’s IRS scandal under the rug.  Move along, peasants, nothing to see here.

The Obama administration chose an Obama campaign donor to head the targeting investigation.

 

Hillary’s enemies list. A Limerick

She’s making a list, and is checking it twicehillaryenemieslist

Of who has been naughty, and who has been nice

It’s an enemies list,

vintage Hillary’s twist.

’tis evil personified, – that will suffice.

 

In the 2008 campaign the Hillary Clinton campaign staff kept a spreadsheet, an hillaryfingerenemies list if you will, where people were given points, from 1 to 7 where 7 were the most hated ones.

The list read like a who’s who among democrats. These ate the ten sevens:

Senators John Kerry (D-Mass.),  Ted Kennedy (D-Mass), Jay Rockefeller (D-W.Va.), Bob Casey (D-Pa.), Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), and Claire McCaskill(D –Mo.),  as well as Reps. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.), Baron Hill (D-Ind.) and Rob Andrews (D-N.J.).

Obama like Chamberlain in seeking peace with Iran. “Peace for our time.” A Limerick.

Like Chamberlain: Peace for our time.

Obama and partners in crime 

gave it up to appease.

It’s Iran’s biggest tease.neville-chamberlai_1000460c

The peace deal is not worth a dime.

(But it is going to cost us at least 4 billion dollars in cash, maybe 8 billion total in aid for starters. I am glad we have that much money laying around with no better use).

I agree with Charles Krauthammer, this deal is much worse than the Munich agreement of 1938.

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:OWS-Slavery (picture at right)

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


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?”

 

WhiteHouse.Gov_Lie_

 

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. 

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:stimulus_350
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?
