Rep. Hank Johnson (D-Ga.)....raised some eyebrows with a comment he made about the U.S. territory of Guam during a House Armed Services Committee hearing in May, 2010. In a discussion regarding a planned military buildup on the Pacific island, Johnson expressed some concerns about the plans to Adm. Robert Willard, head of the U.S. Pacific fleet.
"My fear is that the whole island will become so overly populated that it will tip over and capsize," Johnson said. Willard paused and replied, "We don't anticipate that." How he was able to keep a straight face and show some respect to this dumbass is beyond me.
Johnson is unquestionably one of the dumbest people in the world, let alone congress (but who gets to vote on legislation affecting our country) now says, “corporations control the patterns of thinking” in the United States and that the Bill of Rights to the Constitution should be amended so that the government is given the power to restrict freedom of speech. WHAT? SAY WHAT?
"We need a constitutional amendment to allow the legislature to control the so-called free speech rights of corporations," said Johnson. “These corporations, along with the people they support, other millionaires who they’re putting into office, are stealing your government. They’re stealing the government and the U.S. Supreme Court was a big enabler with the Citizens United case,” Johnson said at the Annesbrooks HOA candidate Forum in Georgia in October.
“They control the patterns of thinking," said Johnson. "They control the media. They control the messages that you get. So, you are being taught to hate your government--don’t want government,"
AND THIS IDIOT GETS TO VOTE ON OUR NATION'S LAWS...AND WE ARE PAYING HIM! WTF! Aren't there some intelligence test that must be passed in order to get elected to Congress?

OBAMA'S OBSESSION WITH TAXING THE RICH AND HIS SOCIALIST TENDENCIES
Comments and Observations from Neal Boortz
Obama’s obsession with tax increases on the rich has NOTHING to do with raising revenue. He KNOWS it won’t raise the revenue he claims. This psychotic obsession stems from his long-held belief that people with a lot of money got that money by taking advantage of and exploiting others. He learned this from his Marxist father. He learned this from his anti-American mother. He learned this from his mentor, Communist Party member Frank Marshall Davis. He learned this from the Marxist professors and student groups he, by his own admission, gravitated to when he was in college. Obama is trying to right what he believes is a horrible wrong --- all of these people who got all of that money by oppressing the poor.
This dangerous man is not concerned with growing our economy. He never has been and he never will be. This man’s entire campaign was ultimately about redistributing the wealth, and that may be one of the biggest campaign promises he actually manages to achieve. Bigger than ObamaCare .. bigger than Dodd-Frank .. bigger than whatever major legislation he has in store for us over the next four years .. Obama’s biggest achievement has been the glorification of the moocher. Not only has his administration literally enabled the moochers but he has emboldened the moochers by championing their cause for redistribution. Now he’s bent on the destruction of the achievers.

The Liar-in-Chief and his hypocrites in the mass media hit another HOME RUN with this one.......from the "Bash Bush Files"
“How many nightly newscasts would lead with this story if Bush were president?” A reporter who was fortunate enough to be in the pool of news photographers who accompanied the president on his tour of the devastation along the Jersey Shore, and among those who got to photograph Donna Vanzant’s presidential hug encounter, returned to Brigantine last week to see how she was doing.
Vanzant has been moved by the many kindnesses she received from friends, family and customers. She said she was honored to meet Obama, but she is also frustrated that she has yet to receive help from either her insurance companies or the government. “The president told me I would get immediate help,” she said.
“Looking back on it, it wasted a lot of people’s time,” she said of the visit.
It’s getting so you can’t take a politician who shows up at the site of a natural disaster and makes promises shortly before a national election completely at his word anymore. In spite of what Ms. Vanzant might think, the president’s visit certainly wasn’t a “waste of people’s time” from the perspective of Team Obama. No word yet on if Jamie Foxx plans to accuse Vanzant of blasphemy over this bit of criticism (Google "Jamie Foxx hailed President Barack Obama as “our Lord and savior” at the Soul Train Awards").
The original story and a photograph are still featured on the White House website... http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2012/10/31/president-obama-new-jersey-we-are-here-you
Then there is this bit of media hypocrisy that bugs me no end...but, again, no one ever reports on it.
Remember Cindy Sheehan, the left's cause-celeb, who remained camped out at Bush Ranch for months protesting the deaths of our soldiers? Remember every day the press gave us the body counts?
FYI: THREE TIMES as many soldiers have died under Obama as we lost under Bush!
Where is the media outrage? Where is Cindy Sheehan? Cindy and the media are perfectly fine with our soldiers dying, so long as they are dying under a Democratic president.
Brainwashed ignoranuses who voted for this disaster of a president must feel mighty proud of themselves!

OBAMA'S STUPID 'TAX THE RICH' POLICY EXPLAINED
Taxing the rich will not come any way near to balancing the budget, but it will give Oblamo more "free stuff" to give away to the mob of moochers and sponges THAT COMPRISE HIS BASE. Look at how stupid his "Tax the Rich" policy is: If he were to take 100%...100%....of all the income of taxpayers making over $250,000 per year, it would run the gov't for 141 days! Got it? 141 days!
But that would only last for one year because they would wisely stop working so hard (and start laying workers off) so that they wouldn't make over $250k any more. Why should they? Smart move, huh?
Furthermore, to illustrate the stupidity of Oblamo's tax policy, if he taxed 100%...100%....of profits of the Fortune 500 corporations, and add them to the above, it would run the gov't for 181 days! Got it? 181 days! That's about a half year! And then what would happen is that these corporations would go out of business or relocate to another country. And what the hell do you think would happen to our economy then?
THIS IS WHAT THE IDIOT-IN-CHIEF REGARDS AS SOUND FISCAL POLICY??? GIVE ME A BREAK.

BLATANT HYPOCRISY IS THE NORM FOR DEMOCRATS; HARRY REID
I can understand how the dumb mass moochers, scroungers and sponges voted for these people; they are just plain dumb...and they want 'free stuff.' But why educated ignorant libtards would allow this hypocrisy and wasteful spending to continue by voting for these lying socialists is way beyond my comprehension.
For example, in 2006 during the Bush years Harry Reid said this about raising the debt ceiling: “They should explain how more debt is good for our economy … how can they explain that they think it’s fair to force our children, our grandchildren, our great-grandchildren, to finance this debt through higher taxes? Why is it right to increase our dependence on foreign creditors?”
Watch how sincere he was in his admonition:
Yesterday he was asked by a reporter: "Will you support raising the national debt by another $2.4 trillion?” “If it has to be raised, we’ll raise it,” he said.
On Aug. 2, 2011, Congress and Obama reached a deal to raise the debt ceiling by $2.4 trillion. Now, after only 15 months, almost all of that additional borrowing authority has been exhausted (wasted), according to the U.S. Treasury Department.
Another $2.4 trillion increase would bring the debt limit to about $18.8 trillion, though we can stop referring to a continually increasing number as a limit. There’s not a ceiling or a limit to anything they’re doing!
Fiscal policy is on an unsustainable path. Five years ago the debt-to-GDP ratio was around 36.5%, which was roughly the average for the previous 40 years. Now that ratio has doubled to about 72%, the highest percentage since shortly after World War II...and it continues to rise, which spells economic disaster for our country.
With these hypocritical, lying miscreants in power this country is 'going to hell in a hand basket' as the saying goes.

WASHINGTON POST COLUMNIST IN A RANDOM ACT OF TRUTHFUL JOURNALISM SEVERELY CRITICIZES OBAMA
WARNING: This Is A Random Act of Actual Journalism From An Obama Kiss-Ass Newspaper.
Finally, the Washington Post speaks out on Obama! This is a very honest, brutal and timely critique of our Liar-in-Chief. As I’m sure you know, the Washington Post newspaper has a reputation for being extremely liberal. So the fact that its editor saw fit to print the following article about Obama in its newspaper makes this a truly amazing event and a news story in and of itself. At last, the truth about our President and his obvious socialist agenda is starting to trickle through the “protective wall” built around him by our liberal media.
He left no academic legacy in academia, authored no signature legislation as a legislator. And then there is the matter of his troubling associations: the white-hating, America-loathing preacher who for decades served as Obama’s “spiritual mentor”; a real-life, actual terrorist who served as Obama’s colleague and political sponsor. It is easy to imagine a future historian looking at it all and asking: how on Earth was such a man elected president? Not content to wait for history, the incomparable Norman Podhoretz addressed the question recently in the Wall Street Journal: To be sure, no white candidate who had close associations with an outspoken hater of America like Jeremiah Wright and an unrepentant terrorist like Bill Ayers, would have lasted a single day. But because Mr. Obama was black, and therefore entitled in the eyes of liberal Dom to have hung out with protesters against various American injustices, even if they were a bit extreme, he was given a pass.
Let that sink in: Obama was given a pass – held to a lower standard – because of the color of his skin.
All his life, every step of the way, Obama was told he was good enough for the next step, in spite of ample evidence to the contrary. What could this breed if not the sort of empty narcissism on display every time Obama speaks? In 2008, many who agreed that he lacked executive qualifications nonetheless raved about Obama’s oratory skills, intellect, and cool character. Those people – conservatives included – ought now to be deeply embarrassed. The man thinks and speaks in the hoariest of cliches, and that’s when he has his Teleprompters in front of him; when the prompter is absent he can barely think or speak at all. Not one original idea has ever issued from his mouth – it’s all warmed-over Marxism of the kind that has failed over and over again for 100 years.
And what about his character? Obama is constantly blaming anything and everything else for his troubles. Bush did it; it was bad luck; I inherited this mess. It is embarrassing to see a president so willing to advertise his own powerlessness, so comfortable with his own incompetence. But really, what were we to expect? The man has never been responsible for anything, so how do we expect him to act responsibly? In short: our president is a small and small-minded man, with neither the temperament nor the intellect to handle his job. When you understand that, and only when you understand that, will the current erosion of liberty and prosperity make sense. It could not have gone otherwise with such a man in the Oval Office.

I Too Have Become Disillusioned.
By Matt Patterson (columnist – Washington Post, New York Post, San Francisco Examiner)
Years from now, historians may regard the 2008 election of Barack Obama as an inscrutable and disturbing phenomenon, the result of a baffling breed of mass hysteria akin perhaps to the witch craze of the Middle Ages. How, they will wonder, did a man so devoid of professional accomplishment beguile so many into thinking he could manage the world’s largest economy, direct the world’s most powerful military, execute the world’s most consequential job? Imagine a future historian examining Obama’s pre-presidential life: ushered into and through the Ivy League despite unremarkable grades and test scores along the way; a cushy non-job as a “community organizer”; a brief career as a state legislator devoid of legislative achievement (and in fact nearly devoid of his attention, so often did he vote “present”); and finally an unaccomplished single term in the United States Senate, the entirety of which was devoted to his presidential ambitions.
He left no academic legacy in academia, authored no signature legislation as a legislator. And then there is the matter of his troubling associations: the white-hating, America-loathing preacher who for decades served as Obama’s “spiritual mentor”; a real-life, actual terrorist who served as Obama’s colleague and political sponsor. It is easy to imagine a future historian looking at it all and asking: how on Earth was such a man elected president? Not content to wait for history, the incomparable Norman Podhoretz addressed the question recently in the Wall Street Journal: To be sure, no white candidate who had close associations with an outspoken hater of America like Jeremiah Wright and an unrepentant terrorist like Bill Ayers, would have lasted a single day. But because Mr. Obama was black, and therefore entitled in the eyes of liberal Dom to have hung out with protesters against various American injustices, even if they were a bit extreme, he was given a pass.
Let that sink in: Obama was given a pass – held to a lower standard – because of the color of his skin.
Podhoretz continues: And in any case, what did such ancient history matter when he was also so articulate and elegant and (as he himself had said) “non-threatening,” all of which gave him a fighting chance to become the first black president and thereby to lay the curse of racism to rest? Podhoretz puts his finger, I think, on the animating pulse of the Obama phenomenon – affirmative action. Not in the legal sense, of course. But certainly in the motivating sentiment behind all affirmative action laws and regulations, which are designed primarily to make white people, and especially white liberals, feel good about themselves. Unfortunately, minorities often suffer so that whites can pat themselves on the back. Liberals routinely admit minorities to schools for which they are not qualified, yet take no responsibility for the inevitable poor performance and high drop-out rates which follow.
Liberals don’t care if these minority students fail; liberals aren’t around to witness the emotional devastation and deflated self-esteem resulting from the racist policy that is affirmative action. Yes, racist. Holding someone to a separate standard merely because of the color of his skin – that’s affirmative action in a nutshell, and if that isn’t racism, then nothing is.

And that is what America did to Obama. True, Obama himself was never troubled by his lack of achievements, but why would he be? As many have noted, Obama was told he was good enough for Columbia despite undistinguished grades at Occidental; he was told he was good enough for the US Senate despite a mediocre record in Illinois; he was told he was good enough to be president despite no record at all in the Senate.
All his life, every step of the way, Obama was told he was good enough for the next step, in spite of ample evidence to the contrary.
