The Three Stooges (Again)

Ramirez posted this funny cartoon on IBD yesterday. It’s pretty funny when you think about it.

The Three Stooges

The cartoon reminded me of a little video I put together in March of 2006 about the then Democratic leadership. Be sure to have the audio turned on to enjoy the musical antics:

Doomsday Plan for the Fiscal Cliff

Jackass Caucus

I read Mark Alexander‘s Thursday article “The Fiscal Bluff – The Jackass Caucus’s ‘Grecian Formula’ for Economic Collapse.” I wanted to share part of that along with this image which aptly describes our country’s leadership.

Doomsday Plan:

Republicans are considering a “Doomsday Plan” of some sort if talks fail. That’s probably a euphemism for capitulation. Unfortunately, House and Senate Republicans are not led by the large class of “Tea Party” conservatives that arrived in 2010. They are still under the leadership of two men who have clearly contracted chronic cases of Potomac Fever after years of drinking Beltway Kool-Aid — Sen. Mitch McConnell and Speaker John Boehner. There are Republicans in the Senate who have a spine, and Republicans in the House who are sober.

Here is my recommended doomsday plan.

Point the House bill to extend the Bush tax cuts toward Obama’s fiscal bluff, put it in overdrive, set it on cruise control and leave town. The House has attempted in good faith to negotiate with Obama, much as a servant negotiates with his master, and with as much success.

Only Obama can sign legislation into law, or decline to do the same. If he fails to sign the tax extensions for all Americans, he will ultimately be responsible for the consequences. Likewise, he will be responsible for all the cuts mandated by sequestration.

Drop that House bill in Obama’s lap and walk away.

Of course, the only thing you will hear from congress is braying and mooing.

Counties Count

In 1980 1nd 2012, the nation held elections where the occupant of the Whitehouse was an incompetent Democrat. The difference is in 1980, the Republicans brought in a dynamic and popular candidate in Ronald Reagan. Mitt Romney doesn’t even come close.

We’re going to keep the following thoughts from The Patriot Post in mind as we face the next term.

Patriots, as the sun rises on this morning after a battle lost, remember that we have lost a battle, not the war. Hold your head high and redouble your courage and resolve. Remain steadfast in your devotion to Liberty and hold the line.
