Okay, I have been silent long enough. It is time to get back to blogging and sharing my thoughts with all my blogging friends.
While I have enjoyed my own self-induced sabbatical and I have enjoyed everyone else's writings. I am ready to get back to it. Sometimes burnout just comes and you just have to step away. And that is what happened here.
Now I have been reading alot of stuff. Sports, news, blogs and even funny stuff. But this one things has caught my eye. And I think you should see it for yourself. Depending on which side of the political fence you are on. You will either find this disgusting or you will enjoy it. You will also find a transcript of the video for you if you are unable to download the video.
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2009/09/02/obamas_green_jobs_czar_van_jones_republicans_are_aholes.html
Lady in the audience asked the question of Van Jones the White House "Green Jobs" Czar on February 11, 2009 at Berkeley, CA
When Bush was in office they had the majority it was isn't 60, they didn't have more than 60 but they still were able to push through all of these bills, but, when we have you know 58, we seem not to be able to, move things, um, as progressively as many of us here would want, as Obama wants, (Jones in background "right") and I don't, know he has this strong interest in bipartisanship. (Jones in background "right") But when nobody in the Republicans, the Republicans are voting with him. How, how, how are the Republicans able to push things through when they had less than 60 senators, but somehow we can't?
Jones "well the answer to that is they are assholes".
Crowd erupts into laughter and clapping. With many including the lady who asked the question shaking their heads in agreement with Jones.
The woman "I was afraid that was the answer."
Jones "As a technical, political science term." Crowd laughs.
Jones "Um, and, and Barack Obama is not an asshole. So, um, now I will say this, uh, I can be an asshole. And some of us who are not Barack Hussein Obama are going to have to start getting alittle upiddy."
I looked up the definition of "Asshole" just to make sure I had the right definition. http://www.yourdictionary.com/asshole

After seeing this video I must say Van Jones has it wrong! It is not the Republicans who are A-holes, but the Democrats. After all like the lady said, the Republicans had less than the 60 majority senators and they were able to pass legislation. While the Democrats have the 58 majority and they cannot not pass legistion through.
It is the Democrats who are stupid and incompetent. But that is good for this country. Because the more incompetent and stupid they act, the less damage that they can do to this country.
It is all of the name calling that has me unhappy! But their lack of being able to get things done in Washington, D.C. is really something to celebrate.
Until two weeks ago, I had never even heard of Van Jones. But since then, I have heard more about him than I want to. And none of it is very favorable. I must say my opinion of him is very much like my opinion of Obama, Pelosi, Reid and most of the Congress and the Administration.
It is people like Van Jones, Rahm Emanuel and Eric Holder that is going to go along way to destroying this country. But that is for another blog at another time.
I know this probably doesn't make much since to most. But that is okay, it is just my way of letting off some steam. lol
Easy tfan. The Brown shirts will come after YOU.
ReplyDeleteIt is so bad what is happening but the Blue Dog Dems are slowing up on the Health Care Bill because the money is not there to support it. The Federal Budget Accounting office has announced that the money is not there as we are broke. Chinese economists say it is not there, THE CHINESE !
They are idoits but now realise the hammer will drop on the Senate in 2010. This may be the biggest reason that the Health Care Bill will fail. Obama will not have to answer to the damage caused by his party because he will not be in office. And yes Bush did alot of damage to with countless lives lost in Afghanistan and Iraq let alone the billions spent.
With our government it is not about this country and what is best for us but rather it is about power and politics.
To lose sight of the basic fundamentals of the Constitution and Capitolism is treason. They want to suck us dry, take all of our liberty and freedom to fill their coffers while sitting in the Senate or the House.
Freedom is a terrible thing to waste as the Liberals are making Socialsim with haste.
Both parties are too worried about getting re-elected to get anything accomplished. That's why they won't take a stand and push through bills and laws that they 'believe' in. Self preservation takes precedence above all else.
ReplyDeleteRLGuido, they are not going to get the chance, because with all this foolishness going on in Washington, the guys in the White Shirts with the straight jack are going to come take me away first. lol
ReplyDeleteI am thrilled that the Democrats are not getting anything pushed through on the health care reform and some of their other agendas. And I am thrilled that they are incompetent. What I am mad about is all of the name calling. I need to go back and redo part of my blog. Because I was at work when I did it. I meant to save it before I published it. But I hit the wrong button.
But you are so right our government has lost sight of the basic fundamentals of our Constitution and Capitalism. And it is not all just the liberal Democrats. Too many of the moderate and conservative Senators in both parties have failed to do what is right for this country. By bending to the whims of the liberal agenda and self-interest.
It is so time for Americans to stand up and say enough. You pass this crap and you are going to be voted out.
Gene you are so right. But if the Republicans vote for any of this crap, they are going to seal their fates. And they will be voted out in 2010.
ReplyDeleteTsfan, welcome back. I predict in 2010 the Democrats WILL be voted out en masse; that is, unless B Hussein O imposes martial law under the guise of "disorderly conduct" among the town hall and Tea Party people and suspends elections. And I wouldn't put it past this thug dictator to do so.
ReplyDeleteTo ALL B Hussein O voters: How's that hope and change working out for you now?
jon I have thought the same thing about Hussein. I read yesterday where he is going to address the Pre-K-12 grades on Tuesday at noon.
ReplyDeleteBeing a Pre-K teacher/Director of Day Care, I am suppose to do lessons surrounding this 2 minute speech. Guess you know what I am going to do about these suggestions?
We are going to ignore Mr. Obama and his speech. I am not going to be apart of promoting anything to do with Obama and his need to be center of attention.
Last time I looked we lived in a democratic society not a dictatorship.
TSFAN,
ReplyDeleteWELL, I HAVE BEEN THINKING FOR AWHILE ABOUT PUTTING TOGETHER AN AWARD OF SOME TYPE FOR PEOPLE WHO STAND UP FOR WHAT THEY BELIEVE AND TAKE UP FOR THE UNDERDOG SO TO SAY.
SO YOUNG LADY YOUR GET THE FIRST "COWBOY AWARD". AND I WILL RIDE WITH YOU ANYTIME.
GUNAQUAT
Gunny I gladly accept the first "Cowboy Award" on behalf of all Americans every where who hate what is happening to our great country and still love her.
ReplyDeletePhotogr for President in 2012. No more Monkey business.
ReplyDeleteThe real problem we have now is the multi consecutive terms we have for senators, congressmen, and house of representatives that never retire. These people become too powerful and corrupt the longer they are in office. Pelosi is a prime example. She thinks she has more power than the president.
The sad part is the group in power now has had an agenda to promote socialism for years. It just took time to get more in power positions to effectively push for this reform that will eventually change our governmnet operation to cater to the elite few in Washington.
