One reason why liberals shouldn't be in charge of anything.


The man to your left is Robert Reich, an advisor to President Obama. In a recent congressional testimony on economic recovery he said the following:

"I am concerned, as I’m sure many of you are, that these jobs not simply go to high-skilled people who are already professionals or to white male construction workers…I have nothing against white male construction workers, I’m just saying there are other people who have needs as well.”

So if you think somehow I am misinterpreting that statement, here is what he wrote on his blog:

"The stimulus plan will create jobs repairing and upgrading the nation’s roads, bridges, ports, levees, water and sewage system, public-transit systems, electricity grid, and schools. And it will kick-start alternative, non-fossil based sources of energy (wind, solar, geothermal, and so on); new health-care information systems; and universal broadband Internet access.
It’s a two-fer: lots of new jobs, and investments in the nation’s future productivity.
But if there aren't enough skilled professionals to do the jobs involving new technologies, the stimulus will just increase the wages of the professionals who already have the right skills rather than generate many new jobs in these fields. And if construction jobs go mainly to white males who already dominate the construction trades, many people who need jobs the most — women, minorities, and the poor and long-term unemployed — will be shut out.
What to do? There’s no easy solution to either dilemma…
People can be trained relatively quickly for these sorts of jobs, as well as many infrastructure jobs generated by the stimulus — installing new pipes for water and sewage systems, repairing and upgrading equipment, basic construction — but contractors have to be nudged both to provide the training and to do the hiring.
I’d suggest that all contracts entered into with stimulus funds require contractors to provide at least 20 percent of jobs to the long-term unemployed and to people with incomes at or below 200 percent of the federal poverty level. And at least 2 percent of project funds should be allocated to such training. In addition, advantage should be taken of buildings trades apprenticeships — which must be fully available to women and minorities."

Where does one start with this. It is most certainly social engineering and wealth redistribution on a grand scale and additionally, it's racist on two levels. One, it excludes white males specifically from federal funds because they are white. And two, it presumes non-white people need liberal saviors like Robert Reich to succeed in life. That they are incapable of doing if left to their own devices. This is a spectacular example of the bigotry of the left. They treat the poor and minorities like they're children and they have disdain for those who succeed. Reich is actually suggesting that we pass over skilled workers, to quite literally punish those who had the audacity to prepare themselves for the workforce, and give those jobs to people who have to be trained to do that job. How backwards is that? How would you like to be driving towards a bridge and read a sign that says "this bridge was built by people who just learned how to build a bridge" He tries to deny that what he said was racist on his blog in an open letter to Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Michelle Malkin. In this letter he accuses them of distorting what he said and taking it out of context. What a laugh, when pinkos like Reich get caught expressing what they truly believe, and worse, try to use taxpayer money to promote it, they deny it. On top of being liars, they haven't the courage of their convictions to stand up for what they say. If this is the kind of advice President Obama will be getting, his administration and the country are in for a long four years.

Reverend Wright, lite... and ewww you're a nasty poet!

The following quote is from Reverend Joseph Lowery at the inauguration of President Barack Hussein Obama: “We ask you to help us work for that day when black will not be asked to get in back, when brown can stick around, when yellow will be mellow, when the red man can get ahead, man; and when white will embrace what is right.” So far so bad, the man who promised to be the President to all, including those who did not vote for him selected Reverend Lowery who then proceeds to lecture white people, urging them to "embrace what is right" News flash Rev. Lowery, if it wasn't for white people, Obama would still be a Senator.


At the inauguration, a poem was read, a bad poem. It was that modern, free form style of poetry that more resembles a speech with an annoying cadence than a poem. While, the inaugural poem, written and performed by Elizabeth Alexander entitled "Praise Song for the Day", was innocuous at best, another poem by Alexander is quite disturbing. If you have a weak stomach, read no further.

"Neonatology
Is
funky, is
leaky, is
a soggy, bloody crotch, is
sharp jets of breast milk shot straight across the room, is
gaudy, mustard-colored poop, is postpartum tears that soak the baby’s lovely head.
Then everything dries and disappears
Then everything dries and disappears

Neonatology

is day into night into day,
light into dark into light,
semi-and full-fledged,
hyperconscious, is funky, is funny: the baby farts,we laugh.
The baby burps, we smile, say “Yes.”
The baby poops, his whole body stiffens, then steam heat floods the pipes.
He slashes his nose with nails we cannot bear to trim,
takes a nap, and the wounds disappear.
The spirit lives in your squirts and coos.
Your noises and fluids are what you do.

Neonatology"

This is an excerpt, not the complete poem, but it doesn't get any better. There is another lovely passage about the afterbirth that is truly insipid and ridiculous. Keep in mind, these two people were CHOSEN by President Obama to be at his inauguration. Yet another racist reverend and a writer who considers the grotesque and scatalogical to be poetry. The main stream media ignored the associations of now President Obama, and by ignoring them labeled them as not newsworthy. President Obama now has a free pass to bring anybody he wants into the governmental fold. This is going to be an unpleasant 4 years.

Why do they hate Sarah Palin?

What inspires the irrational and all consuming hatred of Sarah Palin? Why would some some people go to such lengths to make up lies that are so ridiculous that it simply cannot be believed (think 'aliens built the pyramids' ridiculous). I'll give you a couple of good reasons.

1: They simply cannot compete with her on a level playing field, so they have to try and disparage her and make her look like a hypocrite. All this in an effort to tear her down rather than competing with her in the arena of ideas, where they would always lose.



2: A woman who doesn't play the victim card and is successful without the help of the left, simply does not compute in the mind of the average liberal moonbat. Here is a woman who has earned everything she has, and did so on her own merit. Not riding any one's coattails. Feminists should be cheering her, not savaging her.


3: She committed the unpardonable sin the left cannot forgive under any circumstances, she's pro-life.



4: She's a hunter.


5: She does the right thing even when it's not going to be easy. She knew her baby boy had down syndrome before he was born, but did she abort the child?

I'm sure Sarah Palin will return to the public eye someday and the twits on the left will try to prove that one of her babies was fathered by bigfoot or something. Being on the McCain/Palin ticket was a great learning experience for Sarah and she is stronger for it. The next time we see Sarah Palin will be after 4 or possibly 8 years of Barack Obama and it will be huge. Rather than find that people have forgotten her, I believe that she will find people have been waiting for her.
