This country has come to feel the same when Congress is in session as when a baby gets hold of a hammer. Will Rogers
Ancient Rome declined because it had a Senate; now what's going to happen to us with both a Senate or a House? Will Rogers
So, as Congress continues to waste out tax dollars and our time focusing on pure crap, the problems facing America mount.
1. High Gas Prices. The factor of supply and demand is the root of the cause. We NEED oil for the economy yet the liberals REFUSE to allow oil companies to drill in ANWR, North Dakota, offshore (Florida and California), Utah, Colorado oil shale, and the Montana/Wyoming fields. Why? Because it is in THEIR interests to destroy the American economy. Why? Because as they wreck the economy and jobs are lost, probably forever, then more and more Americans will be dependent on the largesse of the liberal elites. Thus, as we wait in lines for our welfare checks, they'll be shopping in the finest stores, like the rich libs they are, much like their communist elites once did in the former Soviet Union. DO NOT believe the bullsqueeze coming from the lips of the scummycrats. They bleat and mewl that the oil companies ALREADY have enough leased land to drill on, evidently thinking that oil flows under our feet like the kool-aid does at the DNC. So, to use liberal's logic, if I lease you 500 acres of the Mojave Desert, you should be able to grow crops there, right? Dirt is dirt after all and it's not my fault there is no water there. I leased you the land...product the crops. Thus, the libscum stand in the way of several BILLIONS of PROVEN oil deposits, in order to fulfill their socialist agenda. A reminder is in order here. ANWR is 19.6 MILLION acres in size and the oil companies, using modern and clean technology, have stated that they only need 2000 acres to drill on, in the dead of winter, and be out by spring, to send 1 MILLION barrels a DAY to our refineries. That is ONE MILLION (plus) barrels that we do not have to get from the liberal's buddy, Hugo Chavez.
2. GITMO terrorists. Congress worked overtime to make sure that the very scum who would destroy our nation and dance on the ashes and they were aided and abetted by five traitors on the Supreme Court. The rubber-stamper of the 5 UNELECTED black-robed fools, Justice Anthony Kennedy bleated: "the laws and Constitution are designed to survive, and remain in force, in extraordinary times. Liberty and security can be reconciled; and in our system reconciled within the framework of the law." It should be noted that Kennedy was supported by Justices: John Paul Stevens, David Souter, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and Stephen Breyer, who are considered the liberal anuses of the court. Another anus yawned as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, (D-CA), a member of the Progressive Caucus (aka Commie vermin) not only WELCOMED the ruling but had this to say: "I have long been an advocate of closing Guantanamo, so I would hope this is in furtherance of taking that action." Yeah, let's send them to San Francisco. Red Nanny Pee-Louse was assisted by virtually every Dummycrat in Congress fighting for the closing of GITMO and to get these terrorist scum under OUR Constitution.
3. The DNC. Liberals are running the Congress and will soon have an empty-suit rubber-stamping radical leftist in the White House. This LITTLE REPORTED information is a prime example of what the liberals in Congress are all about. James "Yousef" Yee, a former Army Muslim chaplain charged with espionage while serving at Gitmo, will represent Washington state for Obama at the Democratic National Convention, where he'll likely have a center-stage speaking role. These two are a match made in HELL! Barack Husseini O-Vomit has stated time and again that he WILL close GITMO as well as "reforming" the USA Patriot Act. O-Vomit has stated that he will meet with the leaders of rogue terrorist nations as well as terrorist groups. It looks like we're back to treating global terrorism as a "law enforcement" problem, just like Bubba Clinton did and we all know how THAT turned out. (Khobar Towers, USS Cole, WTC pt1, TWO US Embassies bombed, the Empire State Building Sniper Attack, numerous kidnappings of US citizens, and the Manila City bombing of the US Embassy, to name a few.) So, with that in mind, let's examine one of the speakers of the coming Dummycrat's Convention (in keeping with their anti-American sentiments).
In 2004, the Pentagon dropped charges against him. Why? Because the liberals wanted them to release documents that were more important to national security than in trying a piece of sh*t like Yee. The poster boy for liberal traitors, Rep. Keith Ellison, D-Minn, is one of Yee's biggest fans. Indeed, this walking pile of dung told an Egyptian newspaper recently that: "Yee's case was dropped because there was no case to begin with." Ellison was over in Egypt setting up various meetings for O-Vomit to attend with anti-Americans. But let's review the REAL FACTS on Muslim traitor Yee:
A. Yee was caught returning to the U.S. with maps of Gitmo prison facilities, among other classified materials, and was arrested at a U.S. airport. (HUGE NO-NO!)
B. He was charged with espionage, mishandling classified documents and lying to investigators. (Violation of US Code, several Executive Orders, and Federal Perjury.)
C. He served hard time in a South Carolina stockade.
D. Two of his Muslim cronies at Gitmo were convicted of stealing or mishandling classified documents.
Naturally, this traitor is now one of the leading mouthpieces of the anti-war movement, whining that he was a victim of "racism" (gee, playing the race card, go figure), and has stated that he was silenced for exposing "systemic" abuse of prisoners at Gitmo. Yeah right. They're getting FAT on our tax dollars and should have been tried and executed years ago.
4. GloBULL Warming: Recently, our hard-working Congress has wasted OUR TIME and OUR MONEY in over FORTY-SEVEN meetings about Globull Warming and only TWENTY for the gas crisis. In fact, the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and the House Permanent Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming held a joint hearing on a "National Intelligence Assessment" on globull climate change. Here is what happened:
A. Intelligence Committee Ranking Member Peter Hoekstra (R) asked what intelligence was used for this estimate and whether intelligence collection requirements were prepared.
B. National Intelligence Council Chairman Thomas Fingar said no clandestine intelligence was used and that intelligence officers extrapolated what would happen if the "mid-level estimates" by the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change were correct. (This report has been thoroughly debunked so their report was nothing more than a waste of time, money, and valuable intel resources. Nothing new from the libs on THAT!)
C. When Hoekstra asked why the U.S. Intelligence Community would write a major analysis of low to medium confidence that contained no intelligence, Fingar answered, "because you [Congress] told us to."
D. The farce continued when Global Warming Committee member Greg Walden (R-OR) stated truthfully that the accuracy of this estimate was low because intelligence officers "lack the expertise to write such an estimate and climate change science is so uncertain," and then Congressman Ed Markey (D-MA), the Global Warming Committee Chairman, cut him off and told him he was out of time! THIS is how liberals silence their opposition. In fact, Markey had let ALL OF THE PREVIOUS SPEAKERS (Dummycrats) speak WAY past their time limits.
5. Spygate: Congress, led by uber-moron Sen. Arlen Specter (R-PA) WASTED OUR TIME AND MONEY demanding that Congress hold hearings on whether the NFL properly addressed the "Spygate" scandal! (New England Patriots were caught taping the signals of some of their opponents in violation of league rules.) Now is this unbelievable or what? Gas prices are SOARING and people are having a hard time getting to work AND it's having an effect on our economy but Specter the a**clown is more concerned about THIS!?
6. Leased Cargate: It appears that the REAL reason that our hard-working drones in Congress don't give a fat baby's butt about the price WE pay for gas is because THEY passed legislation allowing THEM to lease any car they want and pass the gas, maintenance, and insurance costs to us. How nice. Apparently, this program was NOT included in that "swamp of corruption" that Red Nanny Pee-Lousy was going to drain.
7. William Jeffersongate: One has to wonder when Freezer Money Jefferson will FINALLY be tried and convicted. In fact, on 15 June 2006, House Democrats voted to strip Jefferson of his committee assignment while the federal bribery investigation continued. The vote passed 99-58. Now consider this vote. FIFTY-EIGHT Dummycrats actually voted to KEEP HIM ON HIS COMMITTEE! So much for draining the swamp. If there was ONE IOTA of honesty with Dummycrats, this vote should have been 157-0, but no. Vermin cover for vermin.
Now let's sum up the nonsense from the corrupt and incompetent Dummycratic-majority Congress.
1. THEIR approval rating is at 13% according to the NBC/WSJ poll taken on 6-9 June 2008. Bush's rating is at 28%. So who REALLY sucks? Congress.
2. They WILL vote themselves another pay raise soon, probably after their August vacation, oops, recess. (Bet your money on this.)
3. THEY voted to send our troops to war in Iraq. THEY approved the money. Now THEY want to cut and run, THEY have back-stabbed the troops, i.e., Murtha and the Marines, all Dummycrats whining, oncede defeat and run away. Red Nanny Pee-Lousy meets with a sponsor of State-Terrorism, the Syrian nutjob, AGAINST the wishes of the White House, and undercuts Bush. O-Vomit insults our troops and allies, saying he'd bomb Pakistan. Kerry and Rangel insult our troops, time and time again. THEY ARE UNWORTHY TO LEAD THIS NATION!
4. THEY have completely failed to improve the security of our nation by closing our borders. We have between 15-25 MILLION illegal aliens roaming our country.
5. CONGCRITTER Bob Filner (D-CA) was charged with battery for pushing an airline employees and entering a restricted area. WHY? Because he was in a hurry.
6. TWO serial idiots, Reps. Christopher Shays and Cynthia McKinney PUNCHED Capitol Hill Police Officers because THEY did not feel like obeying those silly security checkpoint rules. (The Gunny wonders WHAT would happen if HE punched a Capitol Hill cop. 2-5 in prison most likely.)
7. CONGCRITTER Patrick Kennedy BUSTED for DUI. Nothing happens to him.
8. THEY refuse to do anything about the gas crisis, i.e., "Dems to Bush: Drop Dead on Drilling." Chicago-Tribune headline on June 18, 2008.
9. THEY have refused to do ANYTHING about drilling more or building more refineries and have successfully, with the help of the libstream media, to lay the blame on the Republicans, who bend over for it.
And THIS is the supposed to be the "most ethical Congress in history?" What a laugh. What the horrible reality is, is that our Congress has degenerated into the most corrupt place in America, short of the Chicago Democrat Convention! What will it take to reform them? A revolution? Thomas Jefferson once said: "Every government degenerates when trusted to the rulers of the people alone. The people themselves are its only safe depositories." It appears that we have strayed from the path of good government and have allowed these elites to plunder us at will. Maybe the future of America can only be saved when the "peasants" show up in DC to do a little "immediate recall" of these corrupt scum and add a dash of tar and feathers to the mix!
