Well, I must admit that I fell asleep during President Obama's boring State of The Union (SOTU) address last night.   It was the same old class warfare nonsense that we have come to appreciate from our community organizer, and it was not interesting enough to keep me awake.   But as I drifted off, I remember hearing something about  " everyone gets a fair shot,  everyone does their fair share, and everyone plays by the same set of rules".   

Now that we are past the CHRISTMAS season of buying stuff for people that did not need more stuff, all in a misguided effort to keep China's exporters busy, it is time to get back to work.    I apologize for being politically incorrect.   Suppose I should have used the term holiday season.

The news this week that Senate Majority Leader Amy Koch resigned from her ledership position, followed by a press conference the following day that members of the leadership team had "confronted"  her with "allegations" of an "inapropriate relationship" with a male staffer must have the media cruising the Twin Cities chasing Amy for the real scoop. The media coverage and the talk in the political world warrants a word of caution for all.

The elites have struck again.   If there is anybody out there who thinks that big government and big financial institutions are good for the country, the pillaging of America's farmers and ranchers by the financial elite needs to be understood.

Last week President Obama was in Honalulu and spoke at an APEC event at which he said America has been kind of lazy these past couple decades. He claimed America has just expected people to come here and do business and just didn't work very hard to attract that business. Now if your indegestian just got worse and your reaching for the Tums, I can understand. Let's review from whom this criticism comes.

Here is the quote:

It looks like Europe's political and financial elites have successfully prevented the citizens of Greece from deciding how to resolve their debt crisis.

I am someone who tries to avoid the mainstream media news because a daily diet of murder tabulations on top of twisted propaganda about how Republicans are wont to feed grandma dog food, make the sky black with smog and the land barren and rotted is, frankly, hazardous for my health. But even amidst my intentional self censoring, I have heard more than I care to about Occupy Wall Street protests.

Those progressive elites, who have so effectively managed to control our lives for some 60 years now, are about to run out of ground.    With Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid behind the wheel and President Obama, in the passenger seat, cheerleading for more class warfare, rather than navigating, their Government Motors automobile is about to have a Thelma and Louise moment.   We can only hope that this Chevy Volt does not run out of juice before getting to the edge of the cliff.

America, Meet the TEA Party

There are few news articles that are more disgusting to me than the ones that show Washington Elites pretending to be normal American's in order to manipulate public opinion.
