Owed An Apology

Owed An Apology

Exactly! It’s the nadir of both stupidity and evil to blame anyone alive today for the fact that the majority of the Blacks inside America’s borders are the descendants of chattel brought to our shores in the 16th – 19th centuries. This is especially true since it is, while statistically possible, vanishingly improbable that there is a Black alive inside America who ever even heard a direct account of slavery in the US.

But then, Blacks steal. They appropriate the pain of long lost ancestors and make it the centerpiece of their sad, twisted, self-destructive identity. As such, it is endemic to them, they blame every living White for the action of long dead and buried people.

Of course, going further with the analogy, some would claim that any apology or debt owed for Pearl Harbor to any American by the Japanese was paid off by 120,000 Japanese-Americans being interred in concentration camps by the US government in 1942. But, if we’re to hold to that, then the over 500,000 Whites who died in the Civil War was equally an apology and full payment of any debt in by our race.

Education’s Fixable Cost

Education’s Fixable Cost

OK, to start with, Harvard didn’t pay Elizabeth Warren $400K for teaching one class. They paid her, their sole “Native American” faculty member about $94K to teach that one class. Still though, paying someone that much for teaching a single course seems ridiculous and correcting that sort of excess would be start towards fixing the supposedly ludicrously high cost of a college education.

If nothing else, it’d be both a step in the right direction and a step away from the Democrats’, Socialists’, Liberals’, and Progressives’ attempt to just have all of us pay for whatever education the next generation wants.

Of Pots And Kettles

Of Pots and Kettles calling each other black
Of Pots And Kettles Calling Each Other Black

One admittedly problematical point in the GOP’s tax reform bill is that it increases the national debt by, at the most pessimistic estimate, $1.5 trillion – yes, with a “T” or $1,500,000,000,000 – over the next 10 years. It’s a point that Congressional Democrats and their Liberal and Progressive followers have ranting about since the bill’s inception.

Of course, given the Democrats’ love of deficit spending, this is the rankest hypocrisy. Hence, it is exactly what the American people have come to expect from our domestic enemies.

One further point of note, however – This is today. At any time in the future that the Republicans choose to rant about increasing the deficit for immediate economic gain – and they will, they’ll have gone from kettle to pot and be just as bad as the Democrats today.

The New Threats To America

cracked one hundred dollar billsAmerica, like all nations, is and always has been under threat from foreign powers. Like the peoples of all nations this is something that Americans are used to and something that they can deal with…or could deal with. Things has changed and the new threats to America are both existential and difficult to deal with.

The new threats aren’t military; they’re economic. They’re also not the run of the mill threat to international trade. No, the new threats to America are foreign governments choosing to punitively divest themselves of US sovereign debt and eliminating the use of the US Dollar as their nations’ reserve currency.

Russia has bluntly pointed this out.

MOSCOW, March 4 (RIA Novosti) – An adviser to Russian President Vladimir Putin said Tuesday that authorities would issue general advice to dump US government bonds in the event of Russian companies and individuals being targeted by sanctions over events in Ukraine.

Sergei Glazyev said the United States would be the first to suffer in the event of any sanctions regime.

“The Americans are threatening Russia with sanctions and pulling the EU into a trade and economic war with Russia,” Glazyev said. “Most of the sanctions against Russia will bring harm to the United States itself, because as far as trade relations with the United States go, we don’t depend on them in any way.”

Glazyev noted that Russia is a creditor to the United States.

“We hold a decent amount of treasury bonds – more than $200 billion – and if the United States dares to freeze accounts of Russian businesses and citizens, we can no longer view America as a reliable partner,” he said. “We will encourage everybody to dump US Treasury bonds, get rid of dollars as an unreliable currency and leave the US market.”

Do not mistake me; in no way would I normally think this was a credible threat at this time. These are not, however, normal times and the Russian cultural psyche has proved itself willing to use “scorched earth” tactics. They’re also fairly strongly allied with China, who could both tolerate the damage to themselves from divesting themselves of US sovereign debt and eliminating the use of the US Dollar as their nations’ reserve currency. In point of fact, China would likely benefit from doing so in short-term. Hence, while the threat is not imminent, it is credible.

This, in all likelihood, isn’t going to happen. What is going to happen is that the Obama Regime will not push for sanctions against Russia for just about anything. And this, in turn, means less than it might since Europe’s flagging and vulnerable economy is dependent upon trade with Russia.

The important point is the threat is credible, extremely serious, and has been made. This not only shows the soft and flaccid underbelly of the America of the 21st century, it’s removes one of America’s greatest weapons, our trade.

How The Worm Has Turned

Obama WormOne of things that amazes me is the Liberals’ and Progressives’ quasi-religious belief that Obama is a man of principles. It beggars my credulity each and every time they espouse it.

From what I can see, Obama has no principles. He takes whatever stance he thinks will benefit him right now, caring not at all if his position of the day is diametrically opposed to his position of of yesterday.

A very topical case in point is the unresolvable conflict between Obama’s position on raising the debt ceiling in 2006 vs. his position on doing the same today.

Mr. President, I rise today to talk about America’s debt problem.

The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies.

Over the past 5 years, our federal debt has increased by $3.5 trillion to $8.6 trillion. That is “trillion” with a “T.” That is money that we have borrowed from the Social Security trust fund, borrowed from China and Japan, borrowed from American taxpayers. And over the next 5 years, between now and 2011, the President’s budget will increase the debt by almost another $3.5 trillion.

Numbers that large are sometimes hard to understand. Some people may wonder why they matter. Here is why: This year, the Federal Government will spend $220 billion on interest. That is more money to pay interest on our national debt than we’ll spend on Medicaid and the State Children’s Health Insurance Program. That is more money to pay interest on our debt this year than we will spend on education, homeland security, transportation, and veterans benefits combined. It is more money in one year than we are likely to spend to rebuild the devastated gulf coast in a way that honors the best of America.

And the cost of our debt is one of the fastest growing expenses in the Federal budget. This rising debt is a hidden domestic enemy, robbing our cities and States of critical investments in infrastructure like bridges, ports, and levees; robbing our families and our children of critical investments in education and health care reform; robbing our seniors of the retirement and health security they have counted on. Every dollar we pay in interest is a dollar that is not going to investment in America’s priorities. Instead, interest payments are a significant tax on all Americans — a debt tax that Washington doesn’t want to talk about. If Washington were serious about honest tax relief in this country, we would see an effort to reduce our national debt by returning to responsible fiscal policies.

But we are not doing that. Despite repeated efforts by Senators Conrad and Feingold, the Senate continues to reject a return to the commonsense Pay-go rules that used to apply. Previously, Pay-go rules applied both to increases in mandatory spending and to tax cuts. The Senate had to abide by the commonsense budgeting principle of balancing expenses and revenues. Unfortunately, the principle was abandoned, and now the demands of budget discipline apply only to spending. As a result, tax breaks have not been paid for by reductions in Federal spending, and thus the only way to pay for them has been to increase our deficit to historically high levels and borrow more and more money. Now we have to pay for those tax breaks plus the cost of borrowing for them. Instead of reducing the deficit, as some people claimed, the fiscal policies of this administration and its allies in Congress will add more than $600 million in debt for each of the next 5 years. That is why I will once again cosponsor the Pay-go amendment and continue to hope that my colleagues will return to a smart rule that has worked in the past and can work again.

Our debt also matters internationally. My friend, the ranking member of the Senate Budget Committee, likes to remind us that it took 42 Presidents 224 years to run up only $1 trillion of foreign-held debt. This administration did more than that in just 5 years. Now, there is nothing wrong with borrowing from foreign countries. But we must remember that the more we depend on foreign nations to lend us money, the more our economic security is tied to the whims of foreign leaders whose interests might not be aligned with ours.

Increasing America’s debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that “the buck stops here.” Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better.

I therefore intend to oppose the effort to increase America’s debt limit.

— Senator Barack Obama (D-IL)
March 16 2006

That particular Congress was debating whether or not to raise the debt ceiling to $9,000,000,000,000,000. The federal government’s debt ceiling is currently $16,700,000,000,000, $7,700,000,000,000 more than it was when Obama was against raising it. That’s an 85.5% increase in 7 short years. Also, under Obama the increase in the debt ceiling has been more than the total debt ceiling of the 43 presidents before him.

Oh how the worm has turned in a few, short years – and Obama bears far more resemblance to a worm than he does he does a man, being only only a crude and cruel mockery of the latter. Then raising the debt ceiling was tantamount to treason; now do doing so is, according to Obama, tantamount to treason. The difference being solely the allegiance and race in question.

I will point out that worms belong either in the ground or on hooks. They never belong befouling the homes or businesses of Man. They certainly don’t belong in the White House.

Of course, in 2006 then-Senator Obama was speaking to a POTUS who was both Republican and White. He was at that time speaking to a man who was his enemy and the enemy of his core constituency. Hence, it is natural for the boy to rant against a request to raise the federal government’s credit line just as it would have been, and still is, natural for the boy to rant and rail against anything and everything Republicans and Whites do or say. It’s not a matter of conviction or principle on Obama’s part; it’s a matter of ideological and racial angst, fear, and hate.

Now it’s Obama calling for yet another increase in the debt ceiling and, as he’s both a Democrat and identifies as a Black – in truth, the boy’s a mulatto, but he’s rejected his White heritage except for the money and stability – so it must good, right, and proper for him to do so and any dissent must be racist.

No. Obama doesn’t have principles. The boy’s only got himself and his narcissistic delusions. He’ll say and do anything to further the image he’s projected of- and for himself.
