“We often are quick to hear and see images on television of African Americans in disparaging situations like jail, poverty, prostitution, etc.  But we hardly hear about the good of our African American tycoons, lawyers, doctors, etc. Now, the question is, why did the mainstream media keep this so very, very quiet? I was even more surprised that not even the BBC covered this story, or any of the other major news networks including CNN!”

Where is Mr. Burgess going with this little inquiry?  Well, he gets to the point by saying:

“I know this is rather controversial, but it’s a story that needs to be tackled.  Furthermore, is this the reason the president is under such fire…because we’re not used to seeing an African American with such power outside of entertainment. How do we change such a problem that has been talked about in the African American community for years, but hasn’t been talked about enough publicly?”

Now we get it!  Barack Obama is under fire because he is black – not because he is a Marxist/Socialist/ left wing radical who is systematically taking America apart.  For Mr. Burgess and the political left they can’t accept that Americans might be down on Mr. Obama for what he has done and is doing.  It has to be about race for them.

Mr. Burgess, you and your media friends are living under the greatest denial cloud that has ever been floated.

Your second possibility is to loan the money to a rich person across town who seems to have more money than they need and they just choose to borrow money to maintain a certain standard of living.  Your realize the rich person on the other side of town is a spendthrift, but they have great references and you have a lot of faith in their ability to survive difficulty and keep on trucking.

Then, on the brink of pulling the trigger of making the loan to the rich guy you learn some facts about the behavior of the the person:

1.  The rich person has recently embarked on an incredible spending spree and has done it on borrowed money.  As a matter of fact you learn that almost 50% of every dollar they spend is borrowed from other people, like you!

2.  The rich person has been totally ignoring warnings from its lenders that the borrowed money they are spending is toxic and deadly to their long term survival.  Yet, the person continues to spend in an irresponsible rush to disaster.

Armed with these new facts you decide that you don’t want to loan your $500 to the irresponsible rich person and elect to loan your money instead to your family member, who is close to home and behaves more responsibly than the rich lunatic across town.

About a year later you learn that the rich person has exhausted its resources to obtain loans and is going bankrupt.  All the people who had loaned money to the rich person in previous years have evaporated.

What’s the meaning of this?

1.  The United States of America is the rich person across town behaving like a lunatic.

2. You represent the foreign investors who are financing the spending spree of the lunatic and have little or no hope of being repaid the $12,000,000,000,000 of debt accumulated by the lunatic.

Here’s the question:  What happens when the lunatic can no longer borrow money to to pay its bills?

Nobody seems to want to know the answer to that question and that is our national crisis.

The impending doom for Social Security is found in the huge numbers of baby boomers who will go on Social Security/Medicare over the next 5 to 25 years.   Because the abortion-on-demand movement has murdered over 50,000,000 babies since 1973, we are missing 1.5 generations of Americans who should be working and paying taxes, particularly FICA employment taxes.  When the boomers retire there will not be enough people paying FICA taxes to support their Social Security payments.  Big problem. 

There are only two solutions to fix this potential disaster.  The first is to drastically raise FICA taxes on the working population.  The second is to reduce the number of people drawing Social Security checks.  I predict that the people paying the FICA taxes will prefer the second method.  I also believe Obamacare will provide the means to accomplish the reduction in the number of people receiving social security.  How?  It’s very simple:  Administrative Volutary Euthenasia!

When Obamacare is in effect, the Government is going to gradually decide who deserves certain kinds of care.  A 70 year old person suffering cancer will be provided hospice care, rather than expensive Chemotherapy.  As the aged get sick, they will be thinned out by being denied the expensive care and treatment that might help them live a few more years.  Instead they will be offered Administrative Voluntary Euthenasia.  This will be Dr. Kervorkian on steroids, from coast to coast! 

I am 67 as of this post.  I fully expect the day to come when I am going to get sick with something and the government is going to disapprove the treatment I need based on my age and the expense of the treatment.  Obamacare will prohibit me from buying it out of my own pocket and the government will help me exit this world as painlessly as possible.  When you multiply this scenario millions of times it won’t be long until the Social Security recipients are drastically reduced.  The result will be a ‘fix’ for Social Security.

Call me a conspiracy nut if you like, but I believe this is inevitable if Obama and the Democrats have their way.

I’m just about ready to stop watching the major TV News programs.  Jim Bob, I’m not dumb and I try to keep up with current events.  What I don’t understand is how the news media and the liberals can consistently get things so wrong.  They seem to be more interested in themselves than the truth.  I’m beginning to think they are all a bunch of Narcissists!

Disgusted in Denver

Dear Disgusted,

Maybe you are on to something.  I did a little research about Narcissism and discovered there is a medical condition called Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD).  It is evidently a clinical condition and is described as a condition in which there is an inflated sense of self-importance and an extreme preoccupation with one’s self.   I was shocked to discover the actual symptoms of the disorder.  Here are the main indicators:

A person with Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD):

1. Reacts to criticism with rage, shame, or humiliation: This certainly seems to describe President Obama’s and the Democrat’s reaction to public criticism of the Democrat Socialized Medicine Act of 2009.  Anyone who opposes them is now considered to be “Racist”.  Congressman Joe Wilson is the latest victim of this symptom.
2. Takes advantage of other people to achieve his or her own goals: Wow, this is Nancy Pelosi in action isn’t it?  You could stuff the entire Global Warming Hoax into this category.
3. Has feelings of self-importance: This one is so obvious it doesn’t require a comment.
4. Exaggerates achievements and talents: This was the primary characteristic of the Democrat Presidential campaign in 2008!  Never has a man or his party who has done so little claimed so have accomplished so much!
5. Is preoccupied with fantasies of success, power, beauty, intelligence, or ideal love: This may be the best description of the media and of Hollywood that can be found.  And, since most of those folks are liberals it would tend to identify the entire lot of them as “N’s” (I will hence forth abbreviate “Narcissist” by merely using the “N” word).
6. Has unreasonable expectations of favorable treatment: I can remember when George W. Bush had to beg for primetime TV coverage to deliver an address to the American People.  The Obama Show has almost become a weekly event on network TV.
7. Requires constant attention and admiration: What a combination we have with Democrats, The National Media and the entertainment industry.  It’s a big, unending pile of “N’s”.
8. Disregards the feelings of others, lacks empathy: How else could you describe ignoring the presence of hundreds of thousands of people on the Washington DC Mall to protest big government and writing them off as “Right-wing Extremists”?  This happened on September 12, 2009.

Disgusted, I think you have stumbled on to the core problem of liberalism.

I know the Democrats want to pass a big carbon tax bill to help stop global warming.  Is that the best strategy Jim Bob?

Gullible in New Jersey

Dear Gullible,

As you know, most Americans go to sleep each night in total fear of the Global Warming Threat.  It’s real important that we do what has to be done to stop this beast in its tracks!  Hardly a minute of my own life goes by that I am not fretting and wringing my hands over the threat of climate change.  I keep a thermometer with me at all times to monitor hourly changes as they occur.  Yesterday, for example, the high temperature was 1 degree higher than it was the day before.  I am terrified of this trend.

Fortunately, I recently read what I believe to be the most effective idea to halt the global warming threat.  It was published by the United Nations, so it must be the right approach.  Essentially, they recommend that human beings stop reproducing themselves!  Since Global Warming is caused by increased levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and human beings exhale carbon dioxide in the course of breathing, the simple solution to Global Warming is to eliminate human beings from the equation.  What a simple solution.  Only the United Nations could come up with such a brilliant idea.

Roger Martin, chairman of the Optimum Population Trust at the LSE, said: “It’s always been obvious that total emissions depend on the number of emitters as well as their individual emissions – the carbon tonnage can’t shoot down as we want, while the population keeps shooting up.”

Amazingly, the Democrat Socialized Medicine Act of 2009 will work well with the new UN strategy.  As healthcare for the elderly is carefully rationed and their numbers are in accelerated decline, the population will be decreased significantly.  No doubt increasing the number of abortions will also help reduce the population in the future.  I mean, abortion on demand since the 1970’s has already spared us the extra carbon emissions of almost 50,000,000 people who don’t exist today.  How wonderful is that?

So, the Global Warming threat will be unexpectedly reduced under the Obama/Democrat health strategies.  The next step is obviously to copy the China policy of government enforced family size limits.

Don’t you just love this?  Here’s a UTUBE CLip by Glen Beck on the Global Warming hoax:

I read on the news that some liberal chewed some guys finger off at a healthcare promotion event.  Why do liberals eat fingers Jim Bob?

Curious in California

Dear Curious,

Well, I looked into this and what you say actually happened in California!  A bunch of Moveon.org supporters got together for a public rally to support ObamaCare and one of them got involved with a man who didn’t share their favorable opinion of the legislation.  Seems like there  were about 100 ObamaCare liberals outside on the street carrying signs in support of socialized medicine government control of Doctors. Across the street there was a small group of Americans who did not agree with the liberals position.  Both groups started yelling things at each other.  One of the liberals came across the street and confronted a 65 year old man who was part of the opposition group.  He started calling the old guy a lot of names and being very aggressive.  The old guy popped the liberal in the nose!  Unfortunately, the liberal went nuts and attacked the old guy physically.  Somewhere in the conflict, the liberal bit off one of the old guy’s fingers!

What the news media has not reported about this is that the severed finger was subsequently stolen from the scene by the Moveon.org people.  What did they do with it?  They had it rigged up with a USB port!  Now all they have to do is plug the old guy’s finger into any PC and they can control his mind.  I was able to get a picture of the finger which shows the USB port mounted into the finger in question.  Here it is:

This raises lots of questions.  Senators Jay Rockefeller and Olympia Snow have introduced a bill to give Obama control over the internet in the event of a cyber-attack.  People are worried about who will determine what constitutes a cyber-attack and how that will further degrade our freedom.  This liberal, finger chewing/USB incident may be a prototype of what Obama and liberal might want to do.  What if they can require everyone to donate one of their fingers to the government to receive the USB attachment?  I wonder if the news media would report that?  Would media members give up one of THEIR fingers?

Dear Jim Bob,

I just heard an ad on the radio that Obama and the Democrat’s created. It said we are getting what we voted for. I don’t remember Obama saying anything about Nationalizing the banks, the car industry and the health industry during the election. What are they saying Jim Bob?

Carl Marxalot

Portland, Oregon

Dear Carl,

What’s going on right now with these Democrat Ads? Well, it’s like this Carl. When Obama and the Democrats were running in 2008, they were purposely trying to make people believe they are like the rest of us who work and pay taxes and care about our country. Of course, the truth is they are not like the rest of us, but they couldn’t admit it during the election. They would have lost.

The Obama domestic agenda has now unfolded in plain view of anyone who cares to recognize it and it’s pretty ugly. As people’s eyes are opening to Mr. Obama’s true character and intent, opposition is beginning to form and the last thing the Democrats want is an honest debate about anything they want to do. So, they are now running attack ads against YOU! After all, they say, YOU voted for change and we’re delivering it! Anyone who doesn’t like it is probably a radical- right -wing -nut -conspiracy –community -organizer. So, Carl, Americans are the problem, not the congress or the programs this bunch of hacks is trying to pass.

This health care thing is a perfect example of how dangerous they are. Let’s compare our healthcare system (now) to a person who has discovered they have a non-malignant polyp in their colon. The simple solution is a minor out-patient procedure that just snips the polyp away and the patient goes home to live a great life. What if that same person went in to their Doctor and was told that they would get rid of the polyp by removing the entire colon and routing it outside the body into a bag you would excrete into the rest of your life. In addition, they would also be amputating your left leg in the event it might be related to the polyp, although they can’t prove it. To make sure everything is done to fix your polyp problem they are also going to give you a heart and liver transplant at the same time.

Our current healthcare system has some problems. Like the polyp described above. What Obama is giving us with his “reform” is the heart and liver transplant, the leg amputation and the colon removal all in one nice package. And he doesn’t want us to discuss it. Just lay down and take it like a good American Carl. After all , you voted for change.

Dear Jim Bob,

I’ve been reading about this Democrat healthcare law they are trying to pass. Is it true that old people are going to be encouraged to give up and die? I’m 70 years old. Do Obama and the Democrats want me to die Jim Bob? If so, why?

Eileen Enoughisenough

Elgin, Alabama

Dear Eileen,

Lots of information is now coming out about what’s actually in the new Socialized Medicine Bill the Democrats want for all of us, but they will be exempt from participating in themselves. One of the provisions of this new plan requires anyone on Medicare to sit down every five years to be counseled about whether it’s a good idea for them to keep on breathing. Evidently these government “Death Advisors” will be trying to thin out the population of older people.

About two years ago I told a group of people that I believed government mandated euthanasia was in America’s future. Many in the group rolled their eyes and shook their head as if such an idea was ridiculous. Well, golly…here it is right on our doorstep wrapped up in a package by the same, compassionate Democrat party Americans voted into power last November. American’s wanted change and brother are they getting change!

As far as why the Democrats might want you dead Eileen, think about this: For the past 15 years people have been demanding that some kind of “fix” be created to solve the Social Security problem. What is that problem you ask? It’s that when all the baby boomers retire there will be far more people “getting” than there are people giving (those who actually pay taxes) to support them. Are you beginning to get the picture of why “Death Counseling” for the elderly might be a priority item on the Democrat agenda? If they can reduce the number of elderly people getting benefits they might be able to “fix” social security!

It’s a short trip from “Death Counseling” to mandated euthanasia. That’s when, some bureaucrat will be empowered to rule that living 75 years is probably enough for anybody. I’m sure it will be called something like prohibiting existence beyond the “Optimal Beneficial Longevity Standard (OBLS)”. When you exceed the OBLS you will be picked up in a government car and taken to the “Federal Euthanasia Center”. Of course, the Congress will be exempt from this requirement, just as they exempt themselves from many other laws they put into effect.

Obama World is not pretty.

Based on what I see Obama doing with all the big spending and taking over much of the private sector of the economy, I wonder how he has such a high approval rating. How do you explain that Jim Bob?

Teresa Tempertantrum

Tin Star, Texas

Dear Teresa,

Great question! Approval ratings and polls are just a reflection of what people believe. What people believe is based on the information they have in their brain that forms the basis for what they believe. So, to understand why Obama has high approval is merely an exercise in examining what people believe and why they believe it. Unfortunately, the things people believe are not necessarily true.

There are three factors that are impacting what people believe about Mr. Obama:

1. The mainstream news media and the “spin” they put on what is happening in the world every day.

2. The fact that we now live in a sound bite society and most people are so focused on their own little slice of life that they are uninformed about the details of what is happening politically (For example, most don’t know about all of Mr. Obama’s Czar appointments and the significance of what he has really done to circumvent public inspection and oversight of his policies. Nor do they understand the basic facts about how economies function and what really stimulates growth and opportunity).

3. The fact that we now have a few generations of people, the majority of whom who are incapable of critical thinking. They are also incapable of a lot of other things (Like operating a cash register that doesn’t have pictures on the keys, or adding up a list of numbers without a calculator).

So, what we largely have is a society that can’t think, a society that suffers from Attention Deficit Disorder, and a biased media that ignores in depth, critical reporting about anything Obama. This means the information people get is badly tainted. They limit what they know to the sound bites from the mainstream media. How is it tainted? Mostly it’s tainted about who is responsible for the country’s economic situation and what it will really take to get it turned around.

Obama and the Democrats continue to blame George W. Bush for all things evil, and they have been doing it relentlessly for the past 8 years – totally cheered on and supported by the mainstream media. The primary message people are getting is that Obama is a victim of George W. Bush and he’s working so hard to overcome the handicap of following the evil Republicans. So, they believe whatever Obama is doing is good and they approve his actions. George Bush is happy and completely willing to be blamed (as he has done for the past 8 years) so there is no challenge from his camp.

At some point, this may change. When it becomes evident that Mr. Obama has systematically trashed our economy and it begins to erode media revenues, there might be some new information out there that will change what people believe. When someone you love is denied a life-saving operation by our new health care ‘Czars’ the reality of Obama may begin to sink in. However, don’t hold your breath waiting for it to happen. The true “misery index” (unemployment rate + inflation rate) of Mr. Obama has not yet run its course. When it does become evident, it may be too late.
