The Other Unfunded War

We've had this little thing called "The War on Poverty" some liberal guy started in 1965. The poverty rate was about 14% when we started this unfunded war and now going on 30 years later and $13 trillion dollars spent we find the poverty rate is almost exactly 14% or put another way we spent tons of money to fix something and accomplished exactly nothing. Now, flash forward to present day where anti-American, pro-communist, socialist radicals aka the democrats prance about spewing garbage about the unfunded Bush wars in Iraq and Afghanistan which supposedly cost $4 trillion. Let me see, $14 trillion spend on the liberals unfunded war on poverty vs the $4 trillion spent on the war on terror. Who has wasted more money on unfunded wars?

Is This The News or Jersey Shore?

Well it has finally happened. The news stories regarding the antics of our public servants have become indistinguishable from that of our precious celebrities whose sexual escapades would make an alley cat blush. One can now watch any cable news station, switch the channel to any average prime time/slut time entertainment programming and jump seamlessly from the perverts in the real world to those in fantasy land making it hard at times to know if you're watching the news or a new TV show. I mean really, the CIA director making out with some babe who is caught because she sent threatening emails to another babe trying to move in on her man while the FBI man investigating the case sends shirtless photos of himself to the second babe that is also making a move on another general in addition to the one she has been warned to stay away from. You could not make this stuff up. cjpost

When Losers Win

Every time republicans lose an election the democrats run around like a bunch of Charlie Sheen imitators screaming "winners" to everyone who will listen and claiming republicans lost because they are "too republican." Despite the fact that most every election anymore, the latest presidential election no exception, is roughly a 50/50 split among the electorate with the nation almost equally divided between republicans and democrats the democrats seem oblivious to the fact that the republicans they are insulting for being too republican represent half the people in this country whose main complaint is that most republican politicians aren't republican enough. This is the worse possible attitude to have when one is a public servant charged with conducting the people's business. The idea that you deserve things to be 100% your way when only 50% agree is guaranteed trouble. There is no evidence that any thing is going to get any better with the Obama second term but plenty of reason to think things will only get much worse. cjpost
