Obama Reverses Stem Cell Policy

President Obama today reversed the standing embryonic stem cell research policy by signing an executive order. The order will allow federal money to go directly to the research. Private research has been conducted for years with no real break-throughs reported. All promising research and findings have been in the adult stem cell research field. If embryonic stem cells were so critical to expanding treatments, private money from corporate drug companies would have flooded in to fund the work. However, they know that there is no future there and have invested in the adult and umbilical chord blood research instead.

Obama tried to throw a bone to conservatives by saying that cloning was bad and dangerous. I guess killing embryos for so called medical research is not bad or dangerous. Obama has quite the full plate and in my opinion needs to focus on the economy. Instead, he is trying to accomplish all of his objectives in the first 100 days. I really expected nothing less from a man that would not want his daughters punished with a baby. He has already reinstated using your tax dollars to fund over seas abortions. Look out gun owners, you could be next.

A Chip Off the Big Brother Block

Homeland Security calls it the "enhanced driver's license." That is a fairly bland name for a device that can tell Big Brother all about you even if the license stays in your wallet. Janet Napolitano, the new chief at Homeland Security, is all for this intrusive, Draconian (I borrowed that big word from Roger ), and invasive new form of national identification. It works a little like this... Your new license will be fitted with a radio frequency module that is thin and discreet. It will be uniform across the nation and the potential is endless. All of your vital information is on this chip. Height, weight, blood type, insurance policy number, criminal record and so on.

"Privacy advocates are issuing warnings about a new radio
chip plan that ultimately could provide electronic identification for every adult in the U.S. and allow agents to compile attendance lists at anti-government rallies simply by walking through the assembly." WND

Did you catch it? That's right. You could be at a legal function protesting rental housing code enforcement in little ole New Albany and a couple of NA's finest could mosey through the crowd and download every one's license with a hand held device. Quick, simple and dangerous. Your name and profile go into a database watch list as a person of interest. It is then linked to a state wide and national database so the authorities can make sure you do not cause problems. Do you think this sounds far fetched? It is already happening in Washington state. Wake up Sheeple.

Talk About Your Earmark, Bailing Out the Palestinians

Hillary announced today that the U.S. is pledging $900 million for the Palestinians. Folks, that is dang near a billion. I guess you could say our tax money will stimulate another jihad...

Promises, Promises

No pork, no special interests, change the way we do business in Washington...all lies that have escaped the mouth of the President. He has stated that his election meant the American people were "demanding that we restore a sense of responsibility." Is that right? This next quote is straight from his web site, http://www.barackobama.com/issues/fiscal/ ,"Cut Pork Barrel Spending: Obama introduced and passed bipartisan legislation that would require more disclosure and transparency for special-interest earmarks. Obama and Biden believe that spending that cannot withstand public scrutiny cannot be justified. Obama and Biden will slash earmarks to no greater than year 1994 levels and ensure all spending decisions are open to the public." Well now, Obama says he will sign the spending bill that keeps government working through September. Problem is that the bill contains over 8,600 special pork projects totalling over $7.7 billion.

What happened to his promise to reject the tailored budget lines specifically for pet projects? What happened to his pledges to expose the wasteful spending? What happened to changing Washington? What happened to change?

The Bubba Effect

Oh my, that Glenn Beck can sure stir the pot. Last Friday he devoted his hour long show to some worst case scenarios for America. I believe just about every word he spoke and those of his expert guests. My favorite subject had to be the "Bubba Effect." Loosely translated, this means that when the government becomes too restrictive and starts cracking down on individual freedoms, like minded people will naturally congregate together. Along the way they will stockpile food and ammunition and make provisions for the safety of their families and the group. History shows this to be true. I have heard of the ammo shortages and the coming taxation of it, so I set out today to check for myself. Yep, all true. There is not much out there in the way of lead. 111 Gun Shop had some, but not much of the most popular calibers. Walmart? Forget about it. Their selection looked like it had been picked over by Knob Creek gang. Where to turn? You should probably get with some friends and split a brick from an online resource, and do it like yesterday.

Now intellectuals don't like talking about such things, heck they don't even like saying "Bubba." But, the reality of the situation is not good. As the unemployment rate climbs, so goes the crime rate. It is not the scare tactic hysteria that the left would have you believe. It is happening. I bet those libs will be pounding on Bubba's door when the SHTF. Stay tuned.

Today's Porkulus Fact

The total of the recently signed Porkulus package, conservatively estimated at $800 billion, is more than the entire federal budget of the U.S. for 1982.

Yowzers!

Almost There

I read today that in 2010, the federal government aided by the mother of all bailouts, will spend 40% of the nation's GDP. I predict that by the end of President Obama's first term, we will reach the Europeans 47% and socialism will be the new American Dream. Yes, Timmy, you to can grow up and give half your earnings to the black hole of government. I hear another 20,000 moved out of California last month. Gotta love it.
