It’s been a while, I know. I’ll make this post an easy one. Healthcare. Let’s allow Thomas Jefferson to do the talking.

“The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.”

“Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms [of government] those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny.”

“I think we have more machinery of government than is necessary, too many parasites living on the labor of the industrious.”

“The same prudence which in private life would forbid our paying our own money for unexplained projects, forbids it in the dispensation of the public moneys.”

Last but not least:

“I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.”

Thank you, Mr. Jefferson. Thank you. That’s exactly what I’ve been thinking.

A SIDE NOTE to my readers, subscribers and followers:

Thank you for the continued support, emails, comments and subscriptions. I was amazed that there was so much going on in my absence. I truly appreciate it. Stay tuned. You are all amazing.

To CNBC’s Rick Santelli - Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

If you didn’t catch Rick’s rant & straight talk yesterday, see it here.

Rockstar that I am, I enjoy this remix:

Surprisingly, Rick still has a job. MSNBC’s Chris “Crazy Liberal” Matthews brought him on today to put him in his place. Rick’s reply was just as awesome as his first rant:

I now owe both the Pope & Rick Santelli a high five.

Rick Santelli again, this time on The Kudlow Report. Enjoy. This guy makes too much sense.

Seems like the Obamatrons can’t make up their minds on whether Obama is a god or a sex symbol. Should I bow before him, take my clothes off, or a little of both? Yes, Amy just went there. I’ve crossed that line. Oh dear. We are going into another LIA dimension.

If Alan Cumming can talk about how he wishes to see BHO naked because “he heard that he was big”, then I can say any amount of ludicrous things on this blog from here on out. Amy’s got a free pass, baby. ^_^

Here’s my list of ridiculous Obama-fetish remarks and articles:

Alan Cumming thinks Obama is “big”- I’m icked out just thinking about that comment.

New York Times’ Judith Warner dreams of Obama in her shower, and thinks many women dream of having sex with him – “Not I” said the Amy, “though we are being screwed by the guy…”

Obama Girl – With her disgusting videos. I wouldn’t find her attractive if she were dancing half-naked around Bobby Jindal.
http://obamagirl.com/

The Nation devotes its first “Carnal Knowledge” post to sizing up Obama – How he makes the girls “jittery”. Seriously. Ew.
http://www.thenation.com/doc/20080804/wypijewski

I’m sure those of you who fall into that category of “jittery” will tell me I’m jealous or something along those lines. I can hear it now. “You aren’t secure in your own self, you see Obama Girl as a threat, you want that attention, blahdy blahdy blah…” Let me be the first to tell you to shut up. I am a smart, sexy, quick-witted, young, conservative woman and I absolutely know it. Thanks for trying, please come again soon.

I don’t find BHO attractive in the slightest, as if his political stances (or lack thereof) aren’t enough to turn me off. I find it sickening that women (and men) have even lowered themselves to discussing having sex with him. Note to all: When you make comments like this, it just confirms how superficial your vote was.

If you did not vote for him because he was attractive, black or young, then you voted because you believe in his socialist views. Good for you. At least you took a political stance. Too bad it was the vote that will lead us to universal healthcare, a socialized education system, and handouts to illegal aliens, high school drop-outs, and others.

Amy out.

I’m a victim. I’m offended. Everyone is out to get me.

If you think this way, I owe you a gigantic Puh-LEASE. Put your big girl panties on and deal with it. Did some guy at eBay create ‘yellow stars’ because he is the great-grandson of Hitler? Of course not.

Here’s the story:

eBay uses little yellow stars to rate its users. They are much like the rating systems you see all over the ‘net. One man, Dominique Bellamy, complained that the use of yellow stars offended him and his wife, Francoise, because they were used during WWII to mark Jews.

See the article here.

If I went around complaining about everything that offended me, I would be exhausted. Example: I hate grape flavored candy. Why? Because when I went to the doctor as a child, the only flavor of suckers they ever had was

grape. That’s it. I hate shots. I would get a shot, and then the evil doctor would hand me a grape freaking lollipop. Call it classical conditioning, Pavlovian, whatever…but I hate grape candy.

Should restaurants I visit outlaw grape candy because it annoys me? Hell no. I get over it. Big freaking deal.

Amy, certainly you are not comparing the Holocaust to doctor visits?

No. I am simply pointing out that it is not any person’s job to make sure you are not offended by their actions. If it offends you, see a therapist. Get yourself right. Maybe invest in a bubble to live in. Don’t know where to get the money for a Don’t Get Offended bubble? Write BHO a letter. I’m sure he’ll cover the expenses.

My question: What the hell color are stars supposed to be? I draw yellow stars on top of my Christmas tree doodles during the holidays. Am I offending people by this?! Someone please tell me.

I thank God that this happened in France. Please don’t bring more of this mentality to the USA. Please. We already have victim celebrities like Octomom running around, and we need no more. By the way, have you all heard that Octomom is looking to buy a 1.2 M dollar home? Century 21 is confirming it. Seriously.

This has got to stop.

What do you think? Comment. Discuss. Pass it on.

This time tomorrow, I predict Oregon gets so pissed that  it floats off into the Pacific to hang with Hawaii. Things are getting ridiculous over there. First, they deal with Russia taking over their steel industry by means of a bailout from the Kremlin itself. Then, they find out that their beer is going to be taxed 1900%. So, they’ve got angry steel workers and angry drunks. GREAT. But that’s not all… Remember those beautiful one-of-a-kind commemorative Obama coins? The ones everyone went crazy for?

Well, they’re big fat fakes. Stickers and paint, to be exact.

Jerome Polk was so impressed with the special edition Obama coins he saw television star Montel Williams hawking in an infomercial, he ordered six sets for himself and some of his grandkids.

Instead of coins engraved with Obama’s face, as Polk athought he’d orderedt $18 a pop, the Northeast Portland retailer received four actual U.S. coins — a silver dollar, half dollar and two quarters — featuring painted-on Obama images.

 

“This isn’t an Obama coin, it’s a 50-cent piece with a picture glued on,” says Polk, who paid the U.S Coin Network $145.78 for five four-coin and one three-coin sets, including $25.98 in shipping.

The U.S. Mint doesn’t mind if companies decorate its coins and sell them — in this case — for nine times their worth. However, the federal agency doesn’t like it when companies offer authenticity certificates, as the Coin Network did, that may confuse consumers about who issued the coins.

The Coin Network’s certificate assures, “This is to certify and authenticate that the coins used in the Barack Obama Inaugural Collection are genuine and made by the United States Mint.”

Michael White, a Mint spokesman, says the agency has asked some companies to drop its name from certificates. Citing privacy, he wouldn’t say whether such a request was made of the Coin Network.

Painted coins, such as Polk’s set, which included a Silver Eagle dollar and a JFK half dollar, rarely hold value for collectors, said Paul Rigby, owner of Coin Cottage in Southwest Portland. In fact, he said, altering the otherwise sought-after Silver Eagle dollars detracts from their collectible value.

“Even with President Obama’s picture, it won’t help,” he said. “They usually end up sold as junk silver.”

Polk’s not surprised. “I knew it right away: I got bumped,” says Polk, whose mother also bought a few sets.

He’ll pay for what he’s got, but wants his $100 back for the sets he hasn’t received. He called up the Coin Network this week and says he asked for a refund on the sets he was told wouldn’t ship until Feb. 24. But, he says, the operator told him that wasn’t policy — even though the company’s various Web sites — USCoinNetwork.com, HistoricCoins.com and ObamaCoinReserve.com — all promise money-back guarantees.

An operator, who identified herself only as Stephanie, confirmed Polk’s order and told The Oregonian that her records showed he’d asked for a refund. That’s fine, she said, he’ll just have to mail back the coins and pay the $26 for shipping.

No other company officials returned calls to various offices associated with the Web sites.

The Oregon Attorney General has received one complaint against U.S. Coin Network for lack of delivery. Spokesman Tony Green encouraged Polk to file a complaint if he felt the company misrepresented its product.

Polk says he plans to complain. But, he’ll keep the coins.

With or without Obama, they’re still worth $2.

I don’t know what Oregon did to deserve all of this, but DAMN. Terrible luck, guys.

Get well soon.

Not a huge fan of email forwards, but I had to post this one. I hadn’t seen it yet. Original post by Amy coming soon. Promise.

Class Act: Written on Jan. 21, 2009

In light of my last post, I am sharing this video and another. It just makes me all tingly inside. Behold, from the religion that claims “We are a peaceful people…” :

Awww… c’mon. They seem like decent people. Let’s not speak unkindly of them. I’m sure they really love America, deep down inside. Let’s watch:

Wake up, America! These are the people we are catering to! These are the people our president wants to sit down with!

A prominent businessman tagged as “moderate Muslim” has admitted to beheading his wife. No, this is not some satellite relayed media story from overseas. No, the story hasn’t been covered by the main stream media. No, I have no freaking clue what a moderate Muslim is. From what I understand, Islam is pretty black and white. You’re either in, or you’re dead. Maybe he only hates infidels on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Kind of like my college class schedule. Not sure. The point is, this happened in Orchard Park, New York on Thursday, February 12th, and not one single media outlet has covered it. This man monster Muzzammil “Mo” Hassan, was the CEO and founder of an Islamic

television network, BridgesTV, which he established to help portray Muslims in a more positive light. You know, the kind you’d like to sit down for a cup of tea with just before they cut your head off.

As reported by Douglas J. Hagmann of the Northeast Intelligence Network, Muzzammil “Mo The Beheader” Hassan:

reportedly admitted to police that he beheaded his wife at the television station yesterday afternoon.The victim was identified as Aasiya Z. Hassan, 37, who just last month, filed for and received an order of protection against her husband.

According to police, HASSAN walked into the Orchard Park police station shortly after 6:00 PMyesterday and admitted that he murdered his wife earlier in the afternoon. While Erie County, NY District Frank A. Sedita III stated about the murder that “”…this is the worst form of domestic violence possible,” it is more pertinent to understand that the act of beheading in Islam is frequently and closely associated with “honor killings.”

Muzzammil Hassan, right, founder of Bridges TV, is charged with murder in the beheading of his wife, Aasiya Hassan, left.

 

The intentional mainstream media obfuscation of honor killings and the act of beheading as both relate to Islamic fundamentalist practices & beliefs is anticipated, especially in this case. (For a good primer about Islam and honor killings, please read this 2008 article written by Robert Spencer).

HASSAN and Bridges TV of Buffalo has been a focus of investigation by the Northeast Intelligence Network in the past. The Northeast Intelligence Network made several inquiries to HASSAN and Bridges TV about their relationship with al Manar television – inquiries that HASSAN and his station refused to answer.

Meanwhile, HASSAN was charged with second-degree murder and has been arraigned by Orchard Park, NY Village Justice Deborah Chimes. He is currently in custody at the Erie County Holding Center.

I encourage you all to read the article written by Robert Spencer that is provided in the above report. Honor killings of this sort are done when a family member, in this case a wife, shames or dishonors the family in some way. Young girls who are forced into arranged marriages often suffer this fate when they do not follow through with the marriage, even when they are requesting divorces because of severe abuse.

 
It is a shame that Hassan has been charged with second-degree murder. What the hell are they thinking? Malice and aforethought must have been present for this barbarian to cut his wife’s head off. How sick does a person have to get for first-degree?! Oh, wait. I forgot. We aren’t supposed to talk bad about those Islamic guys. It’s their religion that makes them act this way, and we are to be tolerant. We are to sit and watch with smiles on our faces.

 
Welcome to America. Oh, your religion tells you to shout “Death to America” and to kill any infidels without pity or mercy? Okay. Have a wonderful time in our country. Please, stay a while.

UPDATE: THE STORY HAS HIT THE MSM CIRCUIT TODAY, MONDAY FEBRUARY 16TH!! HOORAY!

News broke tonight that 78 billion dollars is missing from the first stimulus package. The money was released, and now no one is sure of where it went. 78 BILLION!!!! Lost in freaking America. Pelosi should start by asking all 500 million citizens that were laid-off in this month alone. Maybe they know.

…to be continued when I get more facts. This is a newborn story. I’ll get it to you ASAP.

[UPDATE] 2/6/09 10:30am:

The TARP (Troubled Assests Relief Program) is no longer “missing” the 78 billion. They know where it is. Apparently, they overpaid for some

of the TARP assets. I’m not sure which is worse; Losing 78 billion taxpayer dollars, or handing out the 78 billion to failing banks in excess.

Everything seems okay, though. At least, Elizabeth Warren seems to think so. To her, it’s a lot like buying paintings.

It’s as if Treasury was looking at 10 paintings and promised to pay $1 million for each, even though “one is a Picasso, one is a Rembrandt” and the other eight are not.

“There may be good policy reasons for overpaying,” Warren said, “but without clearly delineated reasons, we can’t know that.”

Look how calm, cool, and collected. As it were her ice cream money.

At the congressional hearing, Republicans questioned how this could have happened. Warren said she didn’t know. 

Hooray for Congress!

Do you have any idea how much money that IS?! Let’s look past the $500-$1000 rebates available to illegal immigrants in the Messiah, Princess Pelosi, and Prince Harry’s new stimulus package. Let’s put a blindfold on before our eyes are exposed to the text that explains how money is going to condoms, contraceptives and the funding of free abortions. I’m just excited about the $400 million dollars going to the study of global warming. Al Gore would be so proud. Not only did he beat out a Holocaust survivor and hero for the Nobel Peace Prize by touring with a PowerPoint presentation, but his cause has now been included in this newest “PORK-ulus” package.

A growing number of scientists are beginning to doubt that there even is such thing as Man-Made Global Warming. With record low temperatures all over the globe,

 scientists are now figuring that the warming was just part of the natural ebbs and flows of the globe’s climate. So, because Al Gore is so much smarter than scientists… let’s do what we’ve been doing for the past few years. Get a good ol’ handful of cash and throw it at the problem. It works. Right, Nancy?

As taxpayers, we now own banks, investment companies, mortgage companies, huge auto manufacturers, and now: global warming. What? You don’t want to spend your hard earned dollars bailing out corrupt firms, corporations, and failing businesses? Too bad. Your government has made that choice for you. If you don’t like it… you can’t just sit there. Write you senators and representatives. It’s a lot of money we don’t have for programs we don’t need, and the children and grandchildren of America will be paying for it in the future. Sad.
