With flowery rhetoric like "...the Center for American Progress has become in just five years an intellectual wellspring for Democratic policy proposals..." lines such as this among others is what Edwin Chen, a writer for Bloomberg attempts to describe a "think" tank (see the article here) that is nothing more than a "gaggle of numbnuts" (To borrow a quote from Ted Nugent... If you think Ted's use of these words is basic, then you really need to understand the root origins of the words themselves and you'll understand its more intellectual than you think... Kudos to Uncle Ted!) whose sole purpose is retreading and shoehorning old socialist ideas into today's world view.

In this morning's update, Rush points out the perpetual infatuation the left has with History's greatest mass murderer... wait for it folks... can you guess?... If you said Hitler... you were in the right time frame... if you said Che Guevara... you were much warmer... the true answer is the ever popular Josef Vissarionovich Jughashvili ... Or Joseph Stalin to the rest of the world.

Here we go again, folks... America's most hated (or loved depending on your point of view) walking donut is at it again. Only this time he can't seem to zero in on the topic as he's in the process of making the film. According to an article in The Hollywood Reporter, Moore was originally going to "discuss" the topic of American foreign policy. However, with the ever shifting stormy seas of American Politics in an election year, Moore, as the article put it "...subtly began reorienting his movie. Instead of foreign policy, the film's focus now is more on the global financial crisis and the U.S. economy. " Uhh...

I get quite a few joke emails filling my inbox, but this one sounded like the most realistic and forward thinking business planning idea yet. I could name a few businesses that can certainly implement this plan.

In Rush's Morning Update, Rush summed up the treatment of President Geo. W. Bush by the media in a scathing rebuke of so-called "journalism" (I would prefer to call it "urinalism").

Well its interesting to see just how the Obama "Administration" will shape up. He's banned lobbyists from the transition process... but for a "small fee" he will "set you free!" So those who have contributed mightily to the cause of (S)'O'cialism by way of big fat Capitalist-style payoffs(or bribes, "contributions", insert your description here)... will have a seat at the table (or trough). Its quite ironic how Obama has promised an "open and honest" administration, along with Pelosi's previous promise of the "most ethical Congress in history", have been anything other than that to date. Obama has proven otherwise thus far by stripping "change.gov" of his previous campaign promises, and his lack of exposure to the Media.

Folks, here is the real tragedy of the fiasco of Freddie and Fannie. Barney Frank and Chris Dodd et. al. in their efforts to use these two financial institutions as both a mechanism to reward political cronies with lucrative positions, as well as a piggy bank to buy votes with the sub-primes which ultimately blew up in their face... the real victims here are not just the tax payers... but the families themselves that owned these homes they couldn't afford. Now what is the proposed solution? Subsidies to lock them into government servitude... basically welfare. Here is what "liberalism" has done for America... hurt the poor harder than it has ever done in the past.

In spite of his campaign having been caught several times taking enormous sums of money bundled together, or received numerous $200 donations from overseas credit cards, some in China and other parts of the world. Not to mention the $30,000 donation from Hamas directly.... should all this be investigated and audited to determine if the Obama Campaign knowingly took foreign contributions? If so, what do these "foreign" contributors expect in return?

Very interesting how the voter counts magically appear more readily in the close election for Senate in Minnesota vs. other races in the state that have been double checked. Could it be that magical ballots will appear as well during the recount to put Al Franken over the top? We will have to keep a close eye on this one, Folks.

Though this post probably should be put under the heading of "Science" it clearly points out the hypocrisy of Global Warming. That in the face of real data, the arguments just don't hold up. So in effect, when the claims of rising temperatures fly in the face of blatantly obvious science... the "believers" in the Global Warming religion still refuse to accept it.

In a report from the Obama Associated Press (OAP) on the recent "Iggles"-Giants matchup at Lincoln Financial Field in Philly, mentioned a little incident where Joe Biden, while residing in the luxury suite with Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie, was booed by the crowd when the cameras focused on him for the jumbotron.

Quoting the article: "The Giants and Eagles played in front of a special guest. Vice President-elect Joe Biden watched the game in a luxury suite with Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie. Biden was booed when he was showed on the video screen."

Sounds like the real results of the election are being felt.

It never ceases to amaze how gullible people can be... Starting with his acceptance speech, Obama made it clear that people will need to sacrifice, and the change won't be coming until perhaps into a second term... I think that can be translated into.."if at all." Funny, how the crowd caught on to that comment and the cheers stopped. Even in his first press conference he reiterated that statement in front of a sign proclaiming an arrogantly fictitious "Office of the President-Elect"... including what appeared to be the official seal of the country... there may be some illegality with that, considering there is no Constitutional authority for such an office, nor is he authorized to use that symbol since he isn't the President.

Rush was discussing various aspects and proposals detailed on Obama's website Change.Gov What an eye opener... Now we can see just what the Media was hiding... End of the Conservative Movement? ... hehe... the war hasn't even begun!

If they think Rahm Emanual is viscious... just wait... ;)

Where was this during the election campaigns???

Evan Thomas, Charlie Rose, Tom Brokaw... they all speak of Obama as a mystery, they don't know what makes him tick... You mean these clowns carried his water, painted him in glowing terms about who and what he is according to their view, and now after the election, they're creeped out about his cult of personality and lack of clarity... And now they've singularly put in office by literal subterfuge and misrepresentation a man whom they are scared of...

ROSE: I don't know what Barack Obama's worldview is.
BROKAW: No, I don't either.
ROSE: I don't know how he really sees where China is.
BROKAW: We don't know a lot about Barack Obama and the universe of his thinking about foreign policy.

This video bears repeating... With recent events such as Russia positioning short-range missiles on the Polish border, Israel warning Obama that talks with Iran will be seen as weakness by the Arab world, Israel attacked by Hamas on the day of the election... We have a "President-Elect" who wants to dismantle our ability to protect ourselves...

We are in BIG trouble!

Rush this morning talked about the fallout on the Republican loss in the presidential election. The venomous smears perpetrated by moderates from the McCain crew against Sarah Palin even resort to the personal, which is wholly unprofessional, and childish. These attack additionally were directed at President Bush as well.

Ok folks...

The WSJ has an online video here entitled "Argentina Legalizes Plunder" ... basically, they started out as with a constitution similar to ours, but with time, socialists(though the WSJ folks dance around that moniker), have determined that property rights is secondary to "Equality" and have taken it to the level that it is the government's duty to spread a social equality as well as a civil one. The end analysis is this is the main reason why central and south America's have lagged so far behind the US. I would submit, this is also why the poor in these nations live in abysmal squalor and poverty, where as the poor in this country, live a standard of living those in Argentina would only dream... how many of the Argentinian poor have iPhones and flat screen TVs? HMMM?

Rush brought up an interesting point, that in retrospect, the economic and financial chaos we're experiencing, which is well documented in being traced back to "Frank-n-Dodd" ... is the Democrats best opportunity to convince the sound-bite masses that the problem can only be fixed by us. Classic opportunity as it was used to seize greater power by the "bailout" bill which in turn contained provisions which did not allow the banks to buy the government back out of the enterprises. So the net effect is they have permanent ownership in these companies... i.e. they've been nationalized. Don't you think that's a problem when the idiots who knowingly caused this, are now in charge of the non-solution and have grabbed your money in the process?

For those who haven't read the book... Atlas Shrugged basically tells the tale of a past or future (take your pick) America plagued by Socialism, and one man's achievement in stopping it cold.

One character, Francisco D'Anconia.. a wealthy copper magnate.. gave a speech to a crowd on achievements of this country and capitalism that warrants airing a repeat in light of the new Socialist agenda that is poised to plague America today. I read the book about 6 months ago, and I find parallels drawn between events occurring today, to what Ayn Rand wrote just over 50 years ago can only be described as spooky.

Well Folks,

Socialism is alive and well in the Dazi Party (Democrat Socialist in case you were wondering). Rep. Jim Moran, and I'm sure Obama will agree with this as well, has openly stated that those with money are not entitled to keep it. If you believe that all your hardwork should be "redistributed" to people who don't work but have more expensive toys than you do at your expense... then you probably voted for Obama.

I'm wondering exactly how long it will be before we all can say... I told you so...
