The Business Plot

Most of the economic problems of today and during the Great Depression came from big businesses overvaluing their own assets in order to become even richer. When FDR countered with the New Deal, there seems to have been a lot of planning for a coup by the same big businesses that caused the mess. I can’t help but draw some parallels between that real coup and all the noise coming from the far right about Obama not being the legitimate president. Anything to get the crazy anti-business guy out of office!

McCain Not Born in United States

This is pretty funny. McCain was born in a military hospital on the Panama Canal in U.S. jurisdiction! He had to be declared a “natural-born citizen” in 2008 in order to run for President! (The Senate did so unanimously.) After all this bitching and moaning about Obama not being a natural born citizen, and even assuming it’s true and Obama’s birth certificate and announcements of birth in 2 Hawaiian newspapers are all fake, he would still be just as legitimate as McCain. It doesn’t surprise me. It’s not like any of these people who are all of the sudden so concerned about the Constitution cared about it being broken by having Clinton being placed in a position she voted to raise the pay-grade for (but a lot of other people, both Democrat and Republican, did that, so I guess if you break the Constitution enough times, it doesn’t matter). I’m not saying McCain should have been barred from running, but it strikes home how hypocritical it is for the “Birther” movement to obsess over Obama not being born in the U.S. when the president they wanted was born in Panama. At least in Clinton’s case, the Constitution was barring someone based on their own actions and not on some inconsequential fate of history that really has nothing to do with the Presidential nominee himself.

New GOP Strategy: Dems are Too Pro-Business and Anti-Climate

“Republican staffers for the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works say Republicans should argue that Democrats are embracing “Wall Street traders,” “polluters” and “others in corporate America” who are “guilty of manipulating national climate policy to increase profits on the backs of consumers.” I really wish I could come up with an appropriate comment for this.

Now that health care has gotten so bad that even Big Business wants it reformed due to overinflated costs, the GOP is staying out of the health care debate. So who’s stepping up to fight it? The Swiftboaters of course! Led by none other than a former Hospital CEO who resigned due to fraud.

Alan Keyes calls on America to stop the “radical Communist” Obama before America “ceases to exist.” Funny terminology considering Obama opposed reparations his entire political career, including when he ran against Alan Keyes in 2004 at a time when Alan Keyes supported reparations.

Texas Gov. Affirms Texas Secession Rights

It’s funny that the last election focused so heavily on left-wing radicals since there hasn’t been any kind of left-wing radical activity in almost 50 years. I rarely hear anything about right-wing radicals despite the fact that they must outnumber the left-wing variety 1000 to 1 at this point. Wasn’t it a right-wing radical who caused the Oklahoma City Bombing? Now Homeland Security says white power militias are swelling in ranks thanks to the economic recession coupled by a black president. Gov. Rick Perry has affirmed Texas’ right to succession. (Too bad he doesn’t realize he’s playing right into Chuck Norris’ hands.)

And here’s an article about how Obama has basically chosen no one but Goldman Sachs big shots to head up the economic crisis.
