Hank Williams Jr. compared the golf outing between Barack Obama and John Boehner as “Hitler playing golf with Netanyahu”. The remark on FoxNews caused ESPN to suspend his appearances on Monday Night Football.
Hitler’s genocide was responsible for the deaths of over 7 million Jews and gypsies. The analogy to Obama was unilaterally denounced by the media and Mr. Williams apologized. I agree that the analogy was inappropriate: the proper analogy should have been Mao Zedong and the Dalai Lama.

Gov. Jerry Brown has added to California’s fiscal crisis by signing their Dream Act legislation today. Not only will California allow illegal immigrants into universities and community colleges, they will receive financial aid. Under Federal law, it is illegal to hire anyone without a valid I-9 or work visa. This means that after these illegal aliens graduate, they can only work in their own country unless another round of amnesty is passed in time for the 2012 elections.
We know that these illegals receive their education subsidized by American taxpayers not by social justice. With Mexico’s unemployment rate lower than the United States, maybe they can send money back to the United States after graduation.

Declaring the need to expand educational opportunity, Gov. Jerry Brown announced Saturday that he has signed legislation making illegal immigrants eligible to receive state financial aid to attend California universities and community colleges.
Nuclear proliferation in Iran may have reached the point that Israel or the United States would not be able to launch an effective attack with any success. Although the United Nations convinced the world that Iran’s nuclear ambitions were peaceful, once again the truth disproved their assertions. As outlined in a previous article, Iran plans to launch a nuclear missile capable of emitting an EMP 298 miles above Kansas City. This would kill 200 million Americans within one year. The early bird gets the worm but in this case, the United States just got the bird from Iran.

The chance for a military strike to succeed in stopping Iran’s race toward a nuclear weapon is becoming “slimmer” as Tehran continues to produce and disperse its enriched uranium and technology, according to Prof. Avner Cohen, a premier Israeli-American scholar on nuclear proliferation.
A demonstrator lies on the ground at an entrance to the National Air and Space Museum in Washington after police pepper-sprayed a group of protestors trying to get into the museum Saturday, Oct. 8, 2011, as part of Occupy DC activities in Washington

Washington’s National Air and Space Museum is closed after demonstrators tried to enter the building with signs and at least one person was pepper-sprayed.
There is a large difference between coming to the realization that it is time to “Go Galt” and giving up. Many people are having the discussion of participating in a system that is doomed to fail. This scenario was effectively outlined in Atlas Shrugged and Ayn Rand now appears to have been prescient in her novel. Dagny struggled with this concept as the novel’s central theme just as patriotic Americans are also struggling.
Is it quitting if we do not believe our only recourse to save our country is to vote Republican in the 2012 elections? We see the 51% (called the 99%) who are draining the lifeblood of our country call for change without any clarification. This is anarchy leading to tyranny. And who is supporting this movement against the banks and the rich? The media, liberal celebrities, liberal politicians in Washington and labor unions are openly supporting civil unrest in the name of the 99%. This support in conjunction with people on the streets who do not know what they are even protesting except the ubiquitous “change” will not alleviate any of the nation’s crippling issues.

A “sockdolager” is a knock-down blow. The following excerpt from “The Life of Colonel David Crockett” was written by Edward S. Ellis (Philadelphia: Porter & Coates, 1884). I have little doubt what Rep. Crockett would say of our government officials today.
Crockett was then the lion of Washington. I was a great admirer of his character, and, having several friends who were intimate with him, I found no difficulty in making his acquaintance. I was fascinated with him, and he seemed to take a fancy to me.
I was one day in the lobby of the House of Representatives when a bill was taken up appropriating money for the benefit of a widow of a distinguished naval officer. Several beautiful speeches had been made in its support—rather, as I thought, because it afforded the speakers a fine opportunity for display than from the necessity of convincing anybody, for it seemed to me that everybody favored it. The Speaker was just about to put the question when Crockett arose. Everybody expected, of course, that he was going to make one of his characteristic speeches in support of the bill. He commenced: Continue reading
Nothing like a good roundtable discussion on MSNBC concerning the actual unemployment crisis. Where is George Bush when you need someone to blame?

Ed Schultz would have been more credible if he had had a cheerleader’s suit on with a set of pom poms. The bottom line is that unemployment is up because of uncertainty in financial markets, health care legislation and elections.

Although the stock market has just closed its third positive session over good European news, the BBC is reporting what is seen as the inevitable truth. If the EU does not address their financial crisis, large European banks will start to fail within a few weeks. Let’s hope that the Fed will not redistribute more money to Europe and draw us into a faster collapse.

So the big questions are the amount of credit default swaps and the exposure of the Spanish and Italian banks. Looks like Greece has already been written off.

A week after the BBC exploded Alessio Rastani to the stage, it has just done it all over again. In an interview with IMF advisor Robert Shapiro, the bailout expert has pretty much said what, once again, is on everyone’s mind: “If they can not address [the financial crisis] in a credible way I believe within perhaps 2 to 3 weeks we will have a meltdown in sovereign debt which will produce a meltdown across the European banking system.

The following video from the president shows two points about Obama:
More importantly, he is delivering this message at Eastfield College in Texas. Glenn Beck has recently outlined that the bottom up movement to destroy our country has been developed and led at our universities. He made a very cogent argument.
