In Obama's march to socialism who's the next target.

[MG1968]

if unemployment is still at 10% 3 years from now obama will go down as the worst president in american history.

get ready for that reality. There is not a single piece of legislation he has signed, proposed or advocated for that will help unemployment. In fact, his policies are guaranteed to make it worse.

Healthcare "reform"
Cap and Trade
Card Check
Amnesty
Stimulus

i'm not sure marx himself could torpedo the american economy for 3 more years. not with the fed printing money like crazy.

You're right, soon the man's gonna be implanting mind control chips in our brains!

They started with the fluorine in the drinking water, now they're telling us obesity is bad, next thing you know they're gonna start telling us not to drive too fast and then it'll be one step away from full blown socialism.

That chip seems to be working well for you and Mn, sort of like a Prius accelerator chip, you two come accross like the galloping gourmets of the crap eater set.

Let me ask you about this Obama policy.

A secret administration memo has surfaced revealing plans for the federal government to seize more than 10 million acres from Montana to New Mexico, halting job- creating activities like ranching, forestry, mining and energy development. Worse, this land grab would dry up tax revenue that's essential for funding schools, firehouses and community centers.
------------------

The 21-page document, marked "Internal Draft-NOT FOR RELEASE," names 14 different lands Mr. Obama could completely close for development by unilaterally designating them as "monuments" under the 1906 Antiquities Act.
--------------------------

Using the Antiquities Act, President Carter locked up more land than any other president had before him, taking more than 50 million acres in Alaska despite strong opposition from the state.

President Clinton used the authority 22 times to prohibit hunting, recreational vehicles, mining, forestry and even grazing in 5.9 million acres scattered around the country. The law allowed him to single-handedly create 19 new national monuments and expand three others without consulting anyone.

One of the monuments President Clinton created was the Grande Staircase-Escalante in Utah, where 135,000 acres of land were leased for oil and gas and about 65,000 barrels of oil were produced each year from five active wells. But, President Clinton put an end to developing those resources.

President Obama could do the same in other energy-rich places unless Congress takes action. At least 13.5 million acres are already on his Department of Interior's real estate shopping list.

This includes a 58,000-acre area in New Mexico. The memo said this should be done so the lesser prairie chicken and the sand dune lizard will be better protected. Are these animals going extinct? No. The bureaucrats wrote that the land should be locked up to "avoid the necessity of listing either of these species as threatened or endangered."

In Nevada, the Obama administration might make another monument in the Heart of the Great Basin because it, supposedly, is a "center of climate change scientific research."

In Colorado, the government is considering designating the Vermillion Basin as a monument because it is "currently under the threat of oil and gas development."
---------------------------

This is a nationwide problem. The government currently owns 650 million acres, or 29 percent of the nation's total land.

What do you think of that???

Here in a site of a US Congressman saying the same thing more or less.

1. Print and save this thread
2. Set alarm for this time 3 years from now
3. Retrieve and read printed copy of thread
4. Realize your life isn't much different than it is today
5. Profit!

"Control oil and you control nations; control food and you control the people; control money and you control the world."

Henry Kissinger - 1970

The US as of February 2008 became a net importer of food.

The main reason for that?? Government intervention and regulation.

On Dec. 10, 1974, the U.S. National Security Council under Henry Kissinger completed a classified 200-page study, “National Security Study Memorandum 200:

Try to tell me that hasn't had an affect over the past 25 years.

“Mandatory programs may be needed and we should be considering these possibilities now,” the document continued, adding, “Would food be considered an instrument of national power? ... Is the U.S. prepared to accept food rationing to help people who can't/won't control their population growth?”

Funny story about Kissinger, at the end of WWII as we occupied Germany a friend of mine was in command of an Army base and there was a corporal assigned to him with the instructions; "give him a job where he can't get in trouble," so he made Kissinger a dining room orderly, in other words Henry wiped up the tables, the soldiers quickly dubbed him "Chow Hall Hank."

After a month or so Henry was given and extended leave of absense for about four months during which time he visited the estates of wealthy families such as the Rockfellers and others you've probably not heard of.

Then Kissinger was reassigned to Germany, his new title?? Governor of the military district.

Nice promotion huh??

you two should get a room

lol:

get ready for that reality. There is not a single piece of legislation he has signed, proposed or advocated for that will help unemployment. In fact, his policies are guaranteed to make it worse.

Don't forget all those mythical green jobs.

I love how the government acts like we are getting ridiculously high prices because of agricultural cooperatives when so much debate exists about whether these cooperatives even lead to increased prices, while at the same time enforces quotas for certain crops that everyone knows raises prices significantly.

In fact, from the WSJ today:

The gap between what Americans and the rest of the world pay for sugar has hit its widest level in at least a decade, breathing life into the battle over U.S. import quotas that prop up the price of the sweet stuff. For years, U.S. prices have been artificially inflated by import restrictions designed to protect American farmers. That has kept the price well above the global market.

If you look at the numbers, the quotas in sugar have kept US sugar prices nearly double the rest of the world. Data Here

In Washington , D.C. an old priest lay dying in the hospital. For years he had faithfully served the people of the nation's capital and was well known among the elected officials. He motioned for his nurse to come near.

"Yes, Father?" said the nurse.

"I would really like to see President Obama and Speaker Pelosi before I die", whispered the priest.

"I'll see what I can do, Father", replied the nurse.

The nurse sent the request to The President and Congress and waited for a response. Soon the word arrived; President Obama and Nancy Pelosi would be delighted to visit the priest.

As they went to the hospital, Obama commented to Pelosi, "I don't know why the old priest wants to see us, but it will certainly help our images and might even get me reelected."

Pelosi agreed that it was a good thing.

When they arrived at the priest's room, the priest took Obama's hand in his right hand and Pelosi's hand in his left hand. There was silence and a look of serenity on the old priest's face.

Finally President Obama spoke.. "Father, of all the people you could have chosen, why did you choose us to be with you as you near the end?"

The old priest slowly replied, "I have always tried to pattern my life after our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ."

"Amen", said Obama.

"Amen", said Pelosi.

The old priest continued, "Jesus died between two lying thieves; I would like to do the same."

A few more:

President Obama decided to do one of his public addresses against the backdrop of an American farm, but the ceremony couldn't get started because of all the flies buzzing around his head. Obama demanded to know why the flies wouldn't leave, so the farmer explained to him, "Well, those are called circle flies. They always circle around the back end of horses." Obama angrily replied, "Hey, are you saying that I'm a horse's ass?" The farmer answered, "No Sir, Mister President. I would never call someone a horse's ass. It's hard to fool them flies though."

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

Bill Clinton, Joe Biden and Barack Obama go into a bar. Bill tells the barkeeper, "I'll have a B and C." Obama whispers, "What is a B and C?" "That's a bourbon and Coke," Clinton answers.

Then Biden orders, "I'll have a G and T." Obama again whispers, "What's a G and T?" "A gin and tonic," Joe replies.

Obama wants to seem like he's one of the guys so he tells the barkeeper, "I'll have a 15." Now it's the bartender's turn to ask, "What's a 15?" Obama says, "A 7 and 7."

You remember the Reagan era, when Ronald Reagan was President, and Bob Hope and Johnny Cash were still with us? Well, now we have Obama, no Hope, and no Cash.

Q: What is the difference between ObamaCare and a car battery?
A: The battery has a positive side.
-------------------------------------


Exhausted and ill from the effort of enacting the Obama healthcare plan, an elderly Senator goes to the doctor. Doctor says, "I have bad news, good news, and bad news, Senator. The bad news is that you only have six months to live. But the good news is that there’s an operation that is 100% successful in curing this illness."

"That sounds great, Doctor," says the Senator, "but what’s the other bad news?" The Doctor replies, "The Department of Health and Human Services says the first available slot is seven months from today."

In the washroom at the airport I saw a handwritten sign posted over one of those hot air hand dryers: "Please push button and listen for a short message from the President!"..........There's nothing like "hot air" and the smell of crap to give you that true Obama experience!!!!

If Obama had half a brain, his butt would be lopsided.

President Obama is to statesmanship as an Etch-A-Sketch is to art.

Q. Why did Obama change his name from Barry to Barack?
A. He thought Barry sounded too American.

 

[gsvol]

Farmers fear nationalisation

 

[VolInMn]

In plain English that means we won't be drilling as long as Obama is in the white house.

You want to bet $100 there is any American off shore drilling while Barry is at the helm??

How'd that work out, by the way?

 

[droski]

better wait till the start drilling before you start counting your $$$.
