America
Failing
Day 416
Imagine yourself relaxing. Imagine Congress doing right by the American people. Imagine an Administration that doesn’t want to “fundamentally transform” what has been the best country to ever come upon the face of the Earth.
Can you imagine it?
Then you’re not imagining the Obamunist Administration. You’re not having nightmares of Pelosi dancing on your grandmother’s grave. You’re not having visions of Reid lying with every breath he takes.
It has been 416 days since Obama started putting his heel on America’s throat. And it’s been 416 days that we have been a nation where the majority of us are being taxed without representation.
At its founding, brave souls told the British tyrants to go take a leap in the Boston Harbor and they threw in all the tea they could find. Thus we had the first American Tea Party.
We live in coarser times now. We have people on the Left who want to destroy America, and we can’t let them do it. It’s time to throw away the tea bags, and start saving up rotten eggs.
It’s time to start doing real civil disobedience – being disruptive without being illegal.
Here’s an idea: what if 2000 grandparents flooded all the bus stops currently being used mainly by indigent people? And these grandparents simply paid to get on the bus, squeezing out space for anyone else?
Why pick on the indigent? Simple. They are the people who see nothing wrong with taking ever increasing swaths of taxpayer’s wallets in order to stay dependent on the Feds and the State governments. They are the primary pawns of the Democrat party.
If we legally interfere with them – by paying bus fare en masse – and we make it known why, the indigent will realize that the things they want are causing their lives to be disrupted. They will all the sudden have a stake in the game and perhaps realize you can’t legitimately be a long term parasite on We the Taxpayers.
Don’t call we at O-t-c heartless. Call the Democrats clueless instead.
We at O-t-c believe in safety nets. We do not believe in redistribution of wealth so that the political class can control things beyond what we have consented for them to control.
It is time to bring out the rotten eggs and rotten mushy tomatoes to throw in the general direction of all Democrat politicians.
America is crying for help from patriots.
It is time to make Obama’s, Pelosi’s and Reid’s lives living hells. It is time to make them feel the full wrath of citizens against socialism, communism and Marxism.
It is the only way we will be able to bring America back from the political brink of hell.

America
Failing
Day 408
We have been quietly watching the Messiah-Wicked-Witchofthe-West-Mortician monster that is trying to ram socialism (in the form of health care deformation) down the throats of We the People. We view this as Government Abuse, and we believe that Obama, Pelosi, and Reid should be taken up to the Washington Memorial, and forced to read, publicly, the Declaration of Independence and the entire United States Constitution two thousand times. Why 2000? One time for each page of the monstrosity they want to force down our throats. When Pelosi speaks, some kind of voice alteration device should be fitted to the microphone so we don’t have to actually hear her in her own god-awful voice.
The Messiah said, at the end of the Health Care Water Torture Session that if the Ds and Rs couldn’t come to an agreement (i.e., if the Rs wouldn’t agree with him), then that’s what elections are for.
All we can say is this: Bring it on, Mr. President. You are the most abysmal excuse for a President we have EVER seen. We think we could probably swap in Hugo Chavez for you and no one would notice any difference from a policy and rhetoric perspective. You have, to date, been responsible for the conversions of 6 people we know who proudly called themselves liberal when you started, who now call themselves Independent – and it’s all because of you and your Witch, Pelosi.
We do not believe it when the lamestream media calls this an anti-incumbent season. But we hope YOU believe it. We hope that you go, excuse the phrase, Off-the-Cliff with your health deform boondoggle. We especially hope you try for the reconciliation tactic. Ple-e-e-ease, Mr. President. Do it. We need as much anger out in the heartland as you can generate. The more the better. And as long as the health deformation effort doesn’t actually get through the House, we will be thrilled to have you go for it.
And tell your friend the Wicked Witch of the West to keep up with the sour potty mouth drivel that she seems to revel in. As she talks about “itsy bitsy spiders,” we can’t help but think of the old movie, “The Fly,” when at the end of the movie, the fly with a human head (that would be the Wicked Witch) is screaming “Help me. Hel-l-l-p me,” as a spider comes bearing down on it. Come November, the American People are going to be spiders to all the flies in the Democrat party.
November cannot come too soon.

We try to find good Democrats in Congress and there are very few. We also look for good Republicans in office, and while there seem to be few there as well, they are not the ones in power right now. And despite all the yahoos claiming that there is no difference between the Rs and the Ds, can anyone – anyone – imagine Boehner legislating the way that Pelosi does? Can anyone – anyone – imagine the Rs proposing legislation that looks even remotely like the socialist power grabs by the current Congress? We can’t. And anyone who thinks that the Rs and the Ds would create and propose similar legislation lives in a la-la land that should preclude them from voting.
So – the Messiah is calling for a “bipartisan” summit on health care tomorrow.
We call on the Rs to do the following: IF the Messiah turns out to be engaging in pure theater, help him with the drama. How? There would be nothing you could do as dramatic as to say mid-way through the performance, “Mr. President, this is pure theater. We will not help you sell America down the river. We’re outa here.” And then leave Blair House in full view of the American people. We fully believe that you would be cheered back home in ways that you haven’t heard in years! Oh – the lamestream media would hate you for it. But since it’s theater, you can play it for all it’s worth, and the lamestreamers wouldn’t know what to do. Should they cover you leaving? Should they act as if nothing happened? They’d be a bunch of confused nebobs and you could go home, look your constituents in the eye and say, “We stood up for America – for you!” And you’d mean it; and we’d know it; and we’d appreciate it.
So – Toyota is apologizing again. OK – that’s fine. And so far, to its credit, the Committee investigating this seems to be doing a reasonable job. But we want to see the same vigilance that is being mustered relative to Toyota be applied to the spending practices of Taxpayer Motors. We believe that all Taxpayer Motors cars are fiscally flawed from the jump, and that is true before a single piece of metal is laid out as part of the chassis. Where is the outrage that the secured investors at Taxpayer Motors were royally screwed by Obama? Why is there no outcry from the Ds? Again – can anyone imagine the Rs nationalizing a car company and screwing the secured investors? If you can, and if you believe what you imagine, then, again, your vote shouldn’t count since you obviously believe in the tooth fairy, perpetual motion and you think that Pelosi is an intelligent person.
So – it turns out that the Messiah is a liah. On Beck’s show yesterday, we saw Obama tell talking news heads that his ties to Acorn were ancient and superficial. Then Beck played video footage showing Obama swearing that he was practically blood brothers with this anti-American criminal so-called neighborhood organizing group. Liah liah pants on fiah. The Messiah is a liah. Thanks, Beck. We will be showing this video to anyone who comes to our homes.

One of the more amazing stories we’ve read regarding the President’s current “thinking” can be found in an AP article called Obama admits health care overhaul may die on the Hill. Two items struck us:
1 – ‘”I think it’s very important for us to have a methodical, open process over the next several weeks, and then let’s go ahead and make a decision,” Obama said at a Democratic National Committee fundraiser.’
Note how this contrasts with his previous combativeness: “Hit ‘em twice as hard.” You’re finding out Mr. President that the phrase “Don’t tread on me” has a real meaning. You and that evil Witch of the West, Pelosi can’t “hit” the American people as though we’re children to be put in our places. You work for us – not the other way around.
2 – “I think we should be very deliberate, take our time. We’re going to be moving a jobs package forward over the next several weeks; that’s the thing that’s most urgent right now in the minds of Americans all across the country.”
If you had thought this way back in March of last year; had you called for a truly civil discussion – and not tried to ram the health care boondoggle that we all came to know and hate down our collective (not collectivist) throats, the tea party movement and the awakened sleeping giant at the town hall meetings might never have happened.
One of us had a sit-down with a local director for her U.S. Senator. As this director took notes based on what she was saying, she could see the director nodding his head in agreement. Things like: you can’t insult the intelligence of the people paying the bills. We’re not astroturf, Mr. President. We’re not Nazis, and for the Wicked Witch of the West to call us that, and for you to not tell her to knock it off – well that spoke volumes. Treat us with the respect you want to have visited upon you, Mr. President, and we can have a real discussion/debate. If you can’t manage that, we’re going to hit you twice as hard come November.

An open letter to President Obama…
Mr. President,
We watched you give yet another speech tonight. Of course, this time, it was completely appropriate as it was the State of the Union speech. We haven’t had time to really examine it (transcripts and recordings), but we have some initial impressions.
#1 – You talk a good game; but it only works if people don’t remember 2009. We, at O-t-c, do remember 2009, and we’re hanged if we’re going to let anyone else forget.
#2 – Your calls for bipartisanship ring hollower than a termite infested tree stump. Where were your calls for bipartisanship in 2009? Where was your effort to tell Nancy Pelosi and her demons to tone down the incivility and to bring Republicans and Independents to the table? We watched all year long for such efforts, Mr. President. They never ever happened.
#3 – For the first time in memory, you actually praised America and almost – almost – acknowledged our exceptionalism. Of course, you didn’t use that word. Why is that, Mr. President?
#4 – You said that you deserved some of the setbacks you received. But you didn’t itemize any of them? What setbacks did you deserve, Mr. President. We can think of many, but it would be good to hear it from you directly. What don’t you blame on the previous administration – besides your inability to articulate with sufficient clarity and persuasiveness how abominations like Pelosi’s and Reid’s health care atrocities would actually be good for us.
#5 – The surprise of the night: you actually went against your base and called for opening up nuclear power plants. A few of us had our jaws drop on that one. Ditto with the idea of opening up Federal lands for oil drilling. Of course, talk is cheap. We’ll be watching to see if you deliver.
#6 – Your spending freeze seems like a fraud to us. You said you’ll freeze spending in 2011. That gives you all of 2010 to hike the spending beyond any conceivable limit and then freeze it there.
#7 – During 2009 you said that there were hundreds of millions of dollars in fraud and waste to be removed from the health care system. Well – how about going after it, Mr. President. Show us the money! Why do we have to wait for health care deformity before you start enforcing the laws against fraud and doing the work of a good manager and reigning in the wasteful spending?
#8 – There were a few self-deprecating moments in the speech. You almost seemed human. We recommend you do more of that.
#9 – There’s a difference between going after something that’s right and dictating what that something should be. It is your fault that We the People don’t trust the health care deformation efforts. Your fault. You tried to ram it through – without giving anyone time to see what was in it – more than a thousand pages – before the August recess. Remember that? How was that transparent, Mr. President? On what basis were we supposed to trust the process, or you, or Pelosi – especially with you marginalizing and demonizing everyone who opposed you.
You don’t get off the hook, Mr. President, just because you give a mildly friendly speech. You have a lot of work to rebuild trust with we Independents. And if you want any of your legislative agenda to go through, without losing your party in November, you’d better start communicating straight with us and taking what we want into account. (Same for the Republicans.) We are tired of our choices being Tweedledee and Tweedledum. We want pragmatists who share our values. If you can’t manage that, Mr. President, then we recommend that you “get out of the way,” to coin a phrase.
Addendum: One more thought: We think that Nancy Pelosi, again, showed why we so despise her. As narcissistic as the President is, and we believe that he is exactly the person Carlie Simon was singing about with her song, “Your so vain, you probably think this song is about you…” But Pelosi? She makes Obama look like the most comfortable in his own skin; the least self-aggrandizing person in the world. There she was, preening every time the President said that the House had passed a bill. We felt like we were watching a toddler being told that she did a good job using the toilet. “What a good girl you are!” Made us very queasy. Madam Speaker – you really need to get over yourself. You aren’t anything special other than to fellow stupids. Oh – and Biden – the guy was nodding his head more than the bobble-headed versions of himself. It was like his neck was on a loose spring. Come on – you can’t be agreeing with every single word the President says in realtime. You at least should wait till he completes a thought, shouldn’t you? Geez.
