As we can see from the above definition, a trend is a general tendency or motion. The concept of the trend is one of rational man's greatest achievements since it gives those who analyze them correctly the power to gaze into the future with a great deal of success.





Let's look at the trend of ramapant government growth and let's see where it leads us. Before you do, please put away any sharp implements that you might use to harm yourself. This won't be pretty, or sugar-coated. Sorry.







Now, before you ho-hum, and say, "Here we go again, here comes another Right Wing Extremist talking point. Blah. Blah.Blah.", really think this through. In the last 100 years, the Big Mommy Regime has had only one response to any crisis, regardless of what party was in power, it was always more government. More control. It didn't matter if government caused the problem in the first place. It didn't matter whether the crisis was real or not. The only answer Big Mommy has ever had is more government.





Let's take a look at the trend of ever growing government:





Problem: The economy is ravaged by the Great Depression. Solution: Big Mommy establishes the Social Security Administration.



Problem: LBJ imagines there is health care crisis in America. Solution: Big Mommy establishes Medicare and Medicaid.



Problem: Jimmy Carter is helplessly hamstrung by OPEC. Solution: Big Mommy etablishes the Depatment of Energy.



Problem: The teacher unions destroy public education. Kids become stupider by the second. Solution: Big Mommy establishes the Department of Education.



Problem: The Democratic party is hijacked by the Enviro-Nazi Left, which claims the end of the world is seconds away. Solution: Big Mommy estblishes the Eniviromental Protection Agency.



Problem: Islamic terrorists fly planes into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Solution: Big Mommy establishes the Department of Homeland Security.



Problem: The Republican party is not popular with senior citizens. Solution: Big Mommy creates Medicare Part D.



Problem: The economy is near collapse. Solution: Big Mommy establishes the TARP slush fund.



Problem: The economy has minutes to live. Solution: Chairman Obama signs the "Stimulus" Package into law. When it fails, the socialist dominated Congress begins work on a "Jobs" bill.



Problem: The United Autoworkers Union destroys GM and Chrysler. Solution: Chairman Obama takes them over while demonizing bond holders.



Problem: The unions realize they can't afford to pay for their pensioners' health care. Solution: Chairman Obama signs into law the mystery meat known as Obamacareless that will nationalize health care and get his union allies off the hook.





--------------------------------------------------------------------------------





Now, let's use the above trend to predict the future.



In his speech on Tuesday night, our Dear Leader will call for more goverment. He'll complain that there was't enough government regulation in the Bay of Rigs. He'll claim that there's an emergency that only more government can solve. He'll also push for Cap and Trade, or at very least, a watered down version of it. Chairman Obama will once again promote the Progressivevik orthodoxy that Big Mommy is all knowing and all seeing and that she alone has the answer to the crisis in the Gulf.





Who wants to take this bet ? I'm taking all comers.





God help us all.

Pulling Dead Rabbits Out Of Hats.....

You know, Chairman Obama is one amazing guy.






Just when you think he couldn't possibly sink any lower, just when you think he's hit rock bottom, just when you think he's reached the limit of Progressivevik sleaze, our Dear Leader pulls another dead rabbit from his hat. Chairman Obama is handing 400 million dollars of our hard earned money to the Palestinians.





Yes, you read that right. In the midst of the Gulf Coast experiencing a Book of Revelation-like disaster, Chairman Obama is handing money to the Palestinians. In the midst of towns like Elkhart, Indiana (remember all of those town hall meetings from there ?) becoming ghost towns, Obama is handing money to the Palestinians. With 9.7% unemployment in OUR country, Chairman Obama is handing 400 million dollars to the Palestinians, the same lovable bunch who cheered after 9/11. Yes, Chairman Obama is handing money to the folks who have sworn to commit genocide against the Israelis.





My angry tirade isn't just about the money. After all, Chairman Obama spends 400 million before he grabs his golf bag in the morning. In the grand scheme of things, 400 million dollars is a rounding error when you consider the trillions upon trillions of dollars of debt Obama has already heaped on me, my children, my grandchildren, and my grandchildren's children. What really bugs the crap out of me is his blatant hypocrisy. If you'll recall, Chairman Obama had plenty to say about Helen Thomas, The Wicked Witch of The Left, who thought it would be best for the Middle East if the Jews in Israel went "home" to Germany and Poland. Our Dear Leader said:





"The comments were offensive. It's a shame because Helen was somebody who had been a correspondent through I don't know how many presidents, was a real institution in Washington."





Call me crazy and off my meds, but I think handing 400 million dollars to Israel's arch enemy is far more of a slap in the face to American Jews than the comments of some senile old sea hag. In fact, Chairman Obama rubbed salt in the latest wound he's inflicted on the Jews with following comment:





"At the same time, we're doing so [controlling arm shipments into Gaza, where the local past time is shooting off missiles into heavily populated Israeli cities.] in a way that allows the people in Gaza to live out their aspirations and their dreams for both themselves and their children. And that's something we're going to spend a lot of time focusing on, and we've already begun some hardheaded discussions with the Israelis in achieving that."





Now that I've got the Jews all riled up, let's annoy the state of Arizona. Take it away, Presidente!





"...there should be some ways of keeping of focusig narrowly on arms shipments rather than focusing in a blanket way on stopping everything and then, in a piecemeal way, allowing things into Gaza."





To translate what Chairman Obama said in his native Progressivakian to everyday English, this means controlling the Gaza/ Israeli border. When was the last time we heard Chairman Obama speak so passionately about OUR border problems ? Why isn't Chairman Obama waxing eloquently about the rancher who murdered on his own land in southern Arizona by illegal aliens ? Why in the hell am I the only person saying these things ?





The bottom line is this: In 2012, we must throw Chairman Obama's presidency into the memory hole. His internationalist views are not only insulting, they are dangerous. No, I don't want the children in Gaza to starve. Yes, I, like any other rational person, want to see peace in the Middle East. However, it must be done without rewarding the terrorist acts of Hamas.





God help us all.

A Delusional Messiah

“I was down there a month ago, before most of these talking-heads were even paying attention to the Gulf. A month ago I was meeting with fishermen down there, standing in the rain talking about what a potential crisis this could be. And I don’t sit around just talking to experts because this is a college seminar. We talked to these folks because they potentially have the best answers so I know whose ass to kick.”---Chairman Obama, attempting to shed his "President Urkel" image.


 Is it me, or is Chairman Obama becoming more and more delusional ? I'm serious. What is running through that socialist brain of his ? How can he not know what caused the oil spill in the Gulf in the first place ? Has our Dear Leader lost his mind ? We all know who to blame for this!


 If the Delusional Messiah wants to kick some anal openings, he should start with the Shame of Arkansas, Bill Clinton. Hillary's less than faithful husband actually handed tax incentives for oil companies like BP to do deep ocean drilling, according to Dickmorris.com (Let's not forget, Morris was one of Clinton's top advisors, so he was certainly in a position to know.) Why would Bubba do that ? To please the enviro-Nazi Al Snore crowd who chanted "NIMBY" while hugging trees. For those of you who don't hail from Progressivakia, that means "Not In My Back Yard". That's right, because enviro-Nazis like Barbara Streisand didn't want to look at oil rigs from their gazillion dollar beach houses, Slick Willie bribed companies like BP to engage in the risky practice of deep sea drilling, hence the disaster.


 Maybe, after his Chairmanship has had a few rounds of golf and another aged rock star gives him another serenade, he could kick his own ass. After all, Our Wise Leader claims he's been handling the Gulf Disaster since day 1, right ? That means he's responsible for the Army Corps of Engineers telling Bobby Jindal, Louisiana's heroic governor, that an evironmental study would have to be done before sand berms could be built tp protect the coastal marshlands. That also means he's responsible for the slowness, the disorganization, and the ineptness of the federal response to the Gulf Disaster. I could go on, but no one needs be accused of formenting hatred by Cass Sunstein and his Thought Police.


 God help us all.

A Daydream....

Wouldn't this sound great if it were a televised speech made by an American President ?








--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Good evening, my fellow Americans. I come before you on the heels of what has been a tough couple of months. The debate is over, as my administration has sucessfully eliminated the Department of Education, the Department of Energy, the EPA, and has succeeded in securing legislation that requires a complete audit of the Fed. We are much closer today to what the Founding Fathers had in mind, than when I won election in 2012.





There is still work to be done. Yes, I walked into a mess, but you will not find me or anyone else in my administration using that as a crutch. We must move foward. I am not interested in finger pointing. If you want to help me, regardless of party, put this country back together, great. Welcome aboard. If not, get out of my way.





The next task that needs to be done is entitlement reform. I know this makes our seniors nervous. I know this is a sensitive issue. However, I must honest. We simply cannot afford the status quo anymore. Therefore, my administration is asking for the swift passage of House Bill ####, The Social Security Eligibilty Act, which raises the retirement age to 70, along with Medicare elligibility. I'm sorry. I truly wish this wasn't necessary. But we cannot just sit and wish our problems will go away. In order to leave our children and grandchildren a functioning Constitutional Republic, we must get our financial house in order. This also means passage of Senate Bill #### which will repeal the Health Care plan that was passed in 2010. When I ran for President in 2012, these were things I promised to get done upon my election. I meant what I said. If these things don't happen, I will not run for reelection in 2016. I will hold myself accountable, even if my supporters do not.





On the foreign policy front, I will not deviate from what I said on the campaign trail. I am fully prepared to withdraw the United States from the United Nations. As I have stated many times, I feel that the UN infringes on the sovereignty of the United States and our ally, Israel. All of our treaties and trade agreements with other nations will remain in place, but foreign aid to countries that are hostile to us will end immediately. I will no longer allow the American taxpayer to be forced to pay for the problems of other countries. It isn't fair, and quite frankly, we can no longer afford it. I know that will strike some as being uncaring, but I believe charity must begin at home, and with one's own money, not someone else's.



Now that the War on Terror is entering its final stages, as Osama bin Laden has been captured and executed, I am pleased to note that President Hamid Karzai has peacefully relinquished his post to his sucessor, ----------. Afghanistan is now a fully functioning democracy. This would not have been possible without the sacrifices that were made by the men and women of our Armed Forces. I couldn't be any prouder of them if I tried. We will remain vigilant to make sure those sacrifices were not made in vain and that's another reason why I want to withdraw the United States from the UN. We must have a free hand in dealing with terrorists, and we will not, under any circumstances, go back to the old way of doing things that has lead us into this preventable war in the first place. I know my policies of indefinite imprisonment of terrorists at Guantanamo Bay are not popular with my friends on the other side of the aisle, nor are they popular with the UN or the EU. That's too bad. My main job as President is to protect the American people, not make internationalists happy.





I'm also pleased to note that my economic policies have begun to work. Unemployment, at the time of my election, was at 11.5%. With the tax cuts that I have implemented, that number has gone down to 6.5%. That's certainly progress, but by no means am I satisfied. I won't be satisfied until every American who wants work has work. I will continue my efforts to keep the government out of the way of business. Does this mean I will let corporations do as they please ? No. I will hold them accountable if they cheat the American people or cause a disaster like BP did in 2010. However, I will put the "free" back in "free market capitalism". Just as the corporations have the freedom to succeed, they will have the freedom to fail. I will be more than happy to sign Senate Bill #### which will bar the United States government from owning stock in private corporations and will order the immediate liquidation of government stock in Chrysler and General Motors. That was a road America was never supposed to go down, and the double dip recession we suffered proved it.





In closing, my fellow Americans, we're on the right path. I know this hasn't been easy, but it's like my grandmother once told me: "Doing the right thing is never easy."





Thank you, and God Bless America.

The Next Holocaust

Helen Thomas, the Wicked Witch of the Left, said this about Israel:






"Tell them to get the hell out of Palestine" and that the Jews of Israel should "go home" to Germany and Poland.







Really, Helen ? Maybe you should go back to the 1930's. They miss you.





Ok...Where's the outrage from the so-called Enlightened Left ? I thought the Left was supposed to lead us into an age where we were all supposed to hold hands and sing Kumbaya. I thought they were morally superior to all of us lunatics on the Right. I thought the reign of Chairman Obama was supposed to end all of this crap. What gives ?





I'll tell you what gives. The Left is full of anti-Semites.





Full disclosure: I'm a card carrying member of the The Tribe. I did the whole Bar-Mitzvah thing. I call my mother at least once a week. I carry enough guilt on my shoulders to make Catholics look positively giddy. For the record, I even say Moses looked like Charlton Heston. Yes, Your Friendly Neighborhood Right Wing Extremist is 100% Jewish and proud of it. Even so, I'll be objective.





Back to business. Helen Thomas is not alone in her hatred of the Descendants of Abraham. There's Chairman Obama's pals Jeremiah Wright and Louis Farrakhan. We mustn't forget Rashid Khalidi, despite the wishes of the LA Slimes, and his connections to radical Islam and Chairman Obama. Speaking of connections to our Dear Leader, how about Code Pink founder and Obama bundler Jodie Evans, and former Weather Underground members Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn ? That delightful trio are members of the Free Gaza movement that recently tried to ram their flotilla through the Israeli/Egyptian blockade that's designed to keep weapons and Jihadists out of Gaza. Of course, no list of anti-Semites is complete without Jesse "Hymietown" Jackson and Al "If the Jews want to get it on, they should pin their yamulkes back and come on over to my house" Sharpton.





If that's what racial enlightenment looks like, you can count me out.





The funny thing is this: You never, ever, hear these things from the Right. You don't see Glenn Beck hanging with terrorists. You don't see Sean Hannity challenging Jews to a fight. Rush Limbaugh always defends Israel's right to defend itself. Mark Levin ? Ok, weird example, but the bottom line is the fact that the Left has become the new Nazi Party right under the collective noses of the Jewish American population. (No pun intended, I can assure you.) The AMSOC Progressivevik Left is persecuting international Jewry with affluent American Jews giving them campaign donations.





The only way we, as Conservatives and Jews, can stop the next Holocaust is by raising awareness. For every Roseanne Arnold, Jerry Seinfeld, and Rahm Emmanuel they have, we need another David Horowitz, Jonah Goldberg, and Ari Fleischer. We have to hammer it into the thick skulls of America's Jews that FDR is dead and continously voting Democrat will only set the stage for the next Holocaust. We can't let things like Hillary Clinton handing 900 million dollars to HAMAS go unchallenged. We can't just look at Chairman Obama's anti-Semitic associates and shrug our shoulders. Not anymore, Boychick. It's becoming crystal clear what the Left is up to.





God help us all.

Nero Obama

“I’m not going to rest — and none of the gentlemen and women who are here are going to rest — or be satisfied until the leak is stopped at the source, the oil on the Gulf is contained and cleaned up, and the people of this region are able to go back to their lives and their livelihoods...."--- Chairman Obama






So tell me, Dear Leader, is your sing-along with Paul McCartney part of the process of cleaning up the Gulf disaster ?





See, this is personal to me. I live in Florida. I grew up here. I will die here. This is my home. I have no interest in living anywhere else. It kills me to think that Florida's beaches are about to be destroyed for years to come, and yet, our President is living it up with a live performance by Paul McCartney ? WTF ?





Does that make sense ? Even if you're an Obama drone, does that make sense ?





I understand this is a huge problem. I also understand there are no quick fixes. I get that. I understand Chairman Obama is entitled to personal time. However, personal time does not include parties. Personal time does not include rounds of golf. Not now. Schmoe Biden once famously quipped, "Now is not the time for profits". Well, Absolutely Nobama says, "Now is not the time for parties".





Beatlegate proves one thing: Chairman Obama is not fit to be President. This isn't me being a hyper-partisan Libertarian mad as hell about yet another wasteful government program, this is me being an angry Floridian who's watching a state he's called home for over 30 years enter the Third World, or at least, become Michigan South, while the President of The United States is having a party and singalongs with a geriatric hippie. We The People deserve a hell of a lot more than Chairman Obama has to offer.





The Roman Emperor Nero played his fiddle as Rome burned...Chairman Obama pretended to be a Beatle while the Gulf States were sludged over. All I can say, with a heavy, heavy heart is--





God help us all.





Especially those of us in the Gulf states.

Absolutely Nobama: The Game!

I'm feeling incredibly frisky and playful, like a Progressivevik at a Flag Burning.




Therefore, I decided, as Fringe-Extremist-In-Chief of Absolutely Nobama, we are going to play a little game. This is my favorite game as the winners are always the American people and the losers are always Chairman Obama's Big Mommy regime in Soviet controlled--er, uh, Progressivevik riddled,Washington, DC.





The name of this game is: FACT.





Don't worry. This game has no small pieces for the kiddies to choke on, and no, it's not the latest video game that will suck you into a vortex of addiction that's worse than heroin, so there will be no need for an investigation by Congress. The only thing you need to do to play this game (and win) is think.



Shall we begin ?





Chairman Obama sent more troops to Haiti (10,000) than he did to the Border (1200). FACT!





Under Chairman Obama's careful watch, we've had two sucessful terrorist attacks on US soil. (The Arkansas Army Recruiting Station Shooting and Nidal Hassan's rampage at Fort Hood.) FACT! Only Divine Intervention stopped the Christmas Day Skidmark Bomber and The NYC Car Bomber. (OOPS! I forgot! It's unpoliticalcorrecthink to mention God. Sorry. Enough with the rat mask, already. Do it to Julia!)







Now, the above are indisputable Facts. If you were to ask any FOX personality, like Glenn Beck, Bill O'Reilly, or Greta Van Susteren, they would concur, since they are FACTs. If you were to pump truth serum into Rachel Maddcow, Chrissy Matthews, and The Human Rat Keith Olberman, the would be chemically compelled to agree. Got it ? You do ? Great! You get one point for every dollar the Big Mommy Regime owes in unpaid liabilities.





The score is : 100 trillion you, Chairman Obama and the Big Mommy Regime: zilch.





Ready for the Bonus Round ? Here's the kicker! If you get this one wrong, you lose. What's that ? That's unfair ? I'm making up the rules as I go along, you say ? I'm wounded! Why, making up the rules as I went along would be terribly dishonest, like using a scandal ridden former President to offer a job to a Congressman so he would drop out of his primary race against a key political ally. We don't operate like that here at Absolutely Nobama. However, for the good of the collective, so we could give everyone a chance to win, we threw out the old rules that were written 234 year ago by a bunch of old white guys who wore wigs. Oh, yes, yes. The question is ADA compliant. Even those with limited mental facilities, like a certain gaffe-prone Vice President have a shot at getting it right.





Ready ?





For all the points and the game: Is it racist to point out the above FACTS ?







(I'm not very computer savvy, so feel free to hum the Jeopardy song.)







Oh, I'm sorry. The answer is yes, according the 30+ leftist groups that have that have written to the FCC demanding that "hate speech" (AKA FOX News, Conservative talk radio, and internet journalists like myself.) be monitored. You lose, report to Room 101!





--------------------------------------------------------------------------------





On May 7, 2010, a coalition of 30+ leftist groups have sent a letter to the FCC demanding that they monitor "hate speech" in the media. Here's some lowlights from the letter, written by Jessica Gonzalez of the National Hispanic Media Coalition, the lead socialists in this matter. ("NHMC")





"As NHMC has awaited Commission action, hate, extremism, and misinformation have been on the rise,and even more so in the past week as the media has focused on Arizona's passage of one of the harshest pieces of anti-Latino legislation in this country's history, SB 1070." (Like, oh, I don't know, accurately stating SB 1070 is just a weaker version of the federal law already on the books.)





"Many communities and individuals do not have the information they want and need to intelligently engage in our democracy." (Gotta love that elitist attitude.)





"Studies show that media consolidation diminishes ownership opportunities for people of color and lead to less diversity of voices; this yields a media in which people of color are under and misrepresented." (Apparently, Oprah Winfey, Whoopi Goldberg, Geraldo Rivera, Juan Williams, just to name a few, are now unpersons who have fallen off the face of the ever-cooling earth. Gee, who does that sound like ? Give up ? Mark Lloyd, Chairman Obama's FCC "Diversity czar".)





"In this same atmosphere, hate speech thrives, as hate has developed as a profit-model for syndicated radio and cable television programs masquarading as 'news.' " (Who could Ms. Gonzalez be referring to here ? Rush Limbaugh ? Beck ? Levin ? Hannity ? Those who actually, pardon my use of a tired phrase, speak truth to power ?)





"The Internet gives the illusion that news sources have increased, but in fact there are fewer journalists employed now than before." (FOX News doesn't seem to have that problem. Neither does the Wall Street Journal. No layoffs at the Daily Caller to report. It seems to me that only the Progressivevik rags like the New York Times, The Miami Herald, The Boston Globe, and others like them are in trouble. I'm a happy man when "journalists" like Susan Roesgen, formerly of CNN, who got herself canned for screaming at a Tea Party protester, join America's 9.9% unemployed.)





"Moreover, on the Internet, speakers can hide in the cloak of anonymity, emboldened to say things they may not say in the public eye. Even worse, sometimes anonymous Internet speakers hold their information out as news, leaving the public with a difficult job of discerning fact from fiction." (Full disclosure: I originally wrote this column under my pen name, Anthony Digiorgio. Call me crazy and off my meds, I thought the government would retaliate against me by having the IRS audit me every five minutes or put me on the "no-fly" list. Now, I'm no longer afraid. My given name is Alan Louis Levy. So there. As far as the truth goes, remember the FACT game we just played ? Not for nothing, I've said it many times: If Big Mommy shuts down the Internet, I'll write my column by hand it nail it to a tree.)







"The current media landscape is ridden with false, misleading, divisve and dehumaizing language, some of which actually rises to the level of violence." (By golly, the NHMC is right! Keith Olbermann should not have called citizens who oppose Obamacareless selfish nor should he have called George W. Bush a war criminal. Yes, the Internet can inspire some to violence. Just ask Nidal Hassan who his Facebook buddies were. Let's not forget those G-20 riots in Pittsburgh!)





"To be clear, the NHMC is not asking -and will not ask- the Commission to compose any sort of content regulations pertaining to hate speech in the media." (Apparently, Ms. Gonzalez has never heard of Regulatory Czar Cass Sunstein. Ms Gonzalez, I'd like to introduce you to my arch-nemesis, Inner Party Member Sunstein. I'm sure the two of you will make beautiful AMSOC music together.)





"Once this information is collected, NHMC et al. will utilize the data for educational, informational, and research purposes. Specifically, NHMC will confront and educate hate distributors about the consequences of hate speech and encourage them to self regulate. (Reread the last quote repeatedly and ask yourself this question: How creepy is this ?)





"Since NHMC filed its petition in early 2009, hate, extremism, and misinformation have been on the rise." (That's totally true. Free Gaza just tried to ram a flotilla through Israel's legal and totally justifiable blockade. The Homicidal Muppet Kim Jong Mentally Ill just sank a South Korean navy ship. Nidal Hassan used Ft. Hood as a private shooting gallery. Again, let's not forget the G-20 riots.)





We could go on and on, as this Jessica Gonzalez likes to repeat herself, and I, like you, can only take so much of this. The moral to this sad little tale is this: We must guard our liberties. We must protect and cherish them, because once they're gone, they're gone for good. Free Speech is the backbone of America. We must fight tooth and nail against people like the NHMC who want to take that precious right away. I may think the HuffingtonandPuffington Post may be wrong 99.85% of the time. I may think Ed Schultz is a bleeding imbecile. I may wish Rachel Maddcow would quit mooing. But never, ever, would I expect the government to shut them down. I respect their right to be idiots. In fact, I'll go to my grave defending their right to be idiots. We The People believe in Free Speech. They The Progressiveviks do not.





God help us all.
