The New Raw Deal

So, I suppose being free from a terrorist attack, having a great economy, recertification of our Bill of Rights, specifically our Second Amendment, those are a "troubled past"?? Only way the past is "troubled" for libs is that THEY were not able to LOSE the war we are currently fighting!

As to taking WW3 to get us out, I think WW4 was our Cold War, and WW4 is our war on radical terrorists.....maybe WW5?? God forbid, but I think you are right.

Mr. Obama no longer wishes to be known as "Barack Hussein"....he wants to be FDR II.

YLG

I agree on all counts.

Democrats have had the hots for the failed policies of FDR since FDR left office.

It was best summed up a couple years ago in an interview I saw with nancy Pelosi, when asked if the dems had any new ideas.

Her reply was "We have plenty of new ideas, and they can be summed up in 3 letters F.D.R.

'Nuff said. :op

socialist nirvana is here

Do you feel good yet?

Great Post Jack

All the 'reasons' that O'Bozo cites are just whimpering about capitalism. The liberals are just dog poop when it comes to making money and providing jobs. They love to lose and bawl. Look at their educational 'scores.' Look at welfare.

Either we have about 60% of our citizens who want a better life and will get educated and work for wealth or not. I think he will have only 6 months of phony liberal promises and then, when the unemployment hits 10% in the summer of 09, the voters will want to see where this recovery is going.

Voters are not stupid enough to wait several years while O'Bozo hires 600,000 new federal employees and then spends 4 trillion dollars and gets us an inflation rate of 15-50% per year.

Boycott Anything ‘Green.’ We Need to Defeat the Left by Smart Political Spending.

Great article, you picked his speach apart and layed it bare for all to see. The Obamunist will not quit until he has achieved the Utopian Marxist Nanny State he dreams of.

My plan:
1. Cash stimulus check if one is sent to me.
2. Convert cash to solid assets, i.e. Gold, Silver, etc...
3. Store assets in a safe place.

By doing this I remove this stimulus capital from the market and passively oppose the Obamunist Nanny State.

Will "Only Government" Get the Blame?

After the "only" solution of heavy handed government produces more failure in the marketplace, will "only government" get the blame. Of course not. There will be another bogey man to continue the "crisis" for the libs. We are in a sorry state of affairs when we are about to unleash the very beast (bad government) that created each of the financial failures that have been upfront in the news over recent months. At the same time, the Obama and the Dems are set to saddle American business with higher taxes, more regulation, and higher energy costs. The socialist agenda has absolutely no interest in a vibrant economy. They are all about transforming our system of government to fit their Marxist ideals.

Yes, I feel so much better that I need to run out and get me a tie dye shirt, and a Che poster, then head for the nearest head-shop so I can get my brain right with liberal philosophy.

Seig Hei.... Er, I mean Yes We Can!

I agree rycK

I give things maybe 2 years before even most of the liberals in love with Obama start to wonder why they voted for him.

I just hope that the republican party finally gets the message that "Liberal-lite" won't win elections. If they do, we will have a repub majority in 2010, if they don't it will be the death knell of the repub party.

Thanks fr stopping by. :o)

Dean D

Sounds like a good plan to me.

I still love the irony, Last year Michelle Obama made a huge deal over how $600 would do absolutely nothing to help the economy, yet $500 from Obama will make everything OK.

Classic case of Rectal-Cranial-Inversion.

Good Al

Of course government will take absolutely NO blame for anything going wrong, And history shows us already that it's destined to fail spectacularly.

They'll blame Capitalism, "de-regulation" and of course Bush.

BDS will continue for years I'm afraid.

Thanks for stopping by. :o)

Jackpine

Wow. Your commentary on the PE's speech is great. We are in such deep dodo it's not funny.

Though I approached my own analysis of that speech differently, but one thing is for sure:

SHOCK AND AWE is coming to a neighborhood near each of us!

Mrs AL

I agree about the deep doo doo.
The lefties are all celebrating right now, I wonder how many of them will love the new messiah when unemployment hits 15% or higher.

Of course FDR was re-elected twice!

The stupidity of the left has not bounds.

Thanks for stopping by, I'll have to go check out your take on things. :o)

What the dem's always fair to mention...

...is that prior to 11/7/06 the stock mkt was hovering around 14K and life was good. Then the fickle US voter decided that wasn't good enough. I wish our elected Republicans rep's had enough backbone to mention this fact once in a while. DD

It Ain`t Raw Hide!

Good essay, Jackpine! "Byron couldn`t have said it better!" You have summed it up. Once the teeming, fawning, fainting masses have discovered amabO is a selfish, arrogant, nambypamby wanna-be present, it will be too late. It is too late now, at least for four years, unless we get lucky. So far, he has been called the "Messiah" and "The One". He has been compared to Lincoln, FDR and JFK! How high and how far can he go? amabO`s staff of thousands is still actively trying to raise money on his many, don`t-think-they-are-too-offical-websites for his transition, his inaugeration, his presential library, his monument and a 365 day holiday for those on the welfare rolls. Give credit where credit is due, he raised almost One Billion Dollars in a poor economy from small donors on the internet! Bill Gates/Steve Jobs/Those Google Guys are so proud! Barry Hussein amabO should continue on the never-ending campaign trail with his squeegee bottle and backwards baseball cap. Donations accepted in small denominations only. No amount is too small to sell your soul for a ticket to nirvana/utopia, just to hear those words, "Yes, we can!". No one has bothered to ask the follow-up: "Yes, we can WHAT?" Excuse the rant, Jackpine! Read the column by that "One Pissed Off Guy!" I got inspired ....

Darvin Dowdy

I agree DD.

In fact any time a lib asks me that stupid question, "Are you better off than you were 8 years ago?", I always reply with "Are You better off than you were TWO years ago?"

I have yet to have one actually answer that question.

Something tells me, soon we'll be longing for the 'good old days' of the Bush admin.

Thanks for stopping by.

Raw Deal is exactly right!!

And the fact that it makes far too much sense to give tax payers their own money to stimulate the economy, therefore the commie idiots in charge on the Hill will never do it, is also exactly right. Everything you presented in your post is correct......
so why aren't you and others of us who see the light, running the funny farm instead of the inmates?

I listened to Odummers speech and gagged the whole time, visualizing all the empty headed masses out there, nodding like bobble headed dolls, in agreement with every word he spewed.

I still believe it will take a second revolution by conservatives to rescue our country. Just not sure exactly how it's going to happen, but wish we'd come up (soon) with a method, before it's too late.

Great post, Jackpine.

dawndawn

No problem, Rant away. :o)

I have to agree, things could get really ugly, and a lot of it depends on whether our repubs in the senate and house can find their spines.

It is amazing that Obama was able to raise over a billion dollars, of course we'll never know how much of it was Legal. With all the stories of phone banks in the west bank, and guys in Gaza buying 30k Obama Tshirts, I'd put the Legal amount raised at maybe a couple million. Of course, with dems controlling the legislature and the white house, we may never know the truth.

And I agree about feeling inspired after reading Gary Graham's blog on BigHollywood. Wish we could get him on TH.

Every time I'm told by a liberal that I should celebrate the democrap victory, Mr. Graham's words will come back to me "FTS"!

jackpine

My friend, good points. FDR once said, I don't know what to do, but we must do something. And they did. They threw up on the wall, economic tripe thinking it would work. At the end of '39, my nativity, the Depression was as bad as it was in '32. The Raw Deal will be Keynes in spades. Keynes always said, ' we owe it to ourselves.' Yeah, that will work in trillions.And with students being brainwashed that Lester Thurlow and Keynes are the guiding lights in economics, the opposition conservs will find it hard sledding to turn back the socialist tide.

Bobbie

Slick willie showed us the true democrat mindset back when he was president.
When the country had the "Surplus" the dems talk about all the time, he was asked about returning that surplus back to the people. Clinton refused, saying, "We don't think they will spend it the right way.".

This tells us all we need to know about dems, They think they know better than we do how to spend our money.

When obummer was giving his speech, I kept waiting for him to fully channel FDR and say, "The only thing we have to fear is capitalism itself.".

rackoons

I agree, and it wasn't just FDR, the "do something, do anything" creed is as old as socialism and fascism itself. Hitler gained power the same way, Enough words, we need action.

Of course the young skulls full of goo that follow the socialists fall in love with that creed, because they are all about action without thought.

The more the lefties jump to the left, the larger the backlash will be. Carter brought us Reagan, Obummer will bring us Palin, Jindall, or another Real conservative in 2012.

Let's just hope we still can vote in 2012.

"Raw Deal" is right!!

When I heard the words "only government" I got out my copy of 1984. "big Brother" is here and he is looking.

Rackoons

You got that right

Big Brother is definitely watching you,
and he doesn't have your best interests in mind.

Thanks for stopping by. :o)

Jackpine

Great post. Spectacular really. The way he is planning on spending our money reminds me of how Hitler ran Germany. The government employing everyone. It works in the short term really if done right, but it always falls flat. A government cannot keep up all that spending. All the while the people grow complacent and do not work hard. Human nature is to do as much as needed, not to work hard even if you do not make an extra cent doing it. Capitalism uses human nature to its advantage while socialism works against it by forcing all to work for a flat rate. That is the root problem of all that Obama speaks of when creating these jobs.

Just a side note. I think you mean 460 thousand per job. Which is a hella lot of money per job still. Why not just pay 3 million people 460k? lol
