Clueless Joe

Well, that makes it pretty simple.
 
Pundits are debating a litany of causes for the deep angst and anger being displayed in the current voter polling data. Voters are mad as hell and while even the most liberal minded of the so called experts accept the anger, they differ on their opinions of the root-cause for it.
 
The list of possibilities is pretty long. From ObamaCare to the economy. From jobs (or the lack thereof) to the mishandling of the gushing oil well in the Gulf. From casualties in Afghanistan to gays in the military. From outrageous and unsustainable government spending to pending cap and trade legislation. And on and on and on.
 
Suffice it to say that voters are livid and there are plenty of possible reasons for it.
 
But Barack Obama’s right hand man, the man who’s breath has the ever-present scent of shoe polish, has it all figured out. The reason Americans are furious, according VP Joe “Foot-In-Mouth” Biden, is that we just don’t understand. Plain and simple, America you just don’t get it.
 
Biden is just coming off his latest round of contemptibly attempted damage control where he not only stated emphatically that the trillion dollar non-stimulating stimulus spending has created several million jobs (or was it ten million, or was it a gazillion), but he did it with a straight face. Like most Americans after hearing his prevarication regarding the number of jobs supposedly created by this mistake to the trillionth power, in an economy that is shedding jobs faster than Nancy Pelosi molting in the spring, I kept waiting for the punch line. But when he was done it dawned on all of us that, Holy Crap!!! He seriously believes we are going to buy this.
 
And that dear readers, is going to be the focus of the upcoming election season. If the facts don’t match the hype, ignore the facts and switch the blame.
 
It’s not that the Democrats have lost all sense of reason and responsibility. It’s not that the tried and true standards by which the economy is rated are indicating complete and total failure on a plan that never had a chance in hell of working. It’s not that the Democrat leadership in the House, the Senate and the White House have no clue as to what they are doing. No. That’s not the problem. The problem is that all of us left holding the unpayable bills racked up by this inept community organizer and his band of economic neophytes just don’t understand how truly smart these guys really are.
 
"These are gigantic packages to deal with a gigantic problem we inherited," Biden said "I don’t think they (the American people) know the detail of what’s going on…"
 
They presented the country with a 647 page supposed stimulus bill that spent $1 trillion. With the accompanying legislation, pork barrel amendments and earmarks the bill was over 2000 pages. They presented the country with the ObamaCare package. Another $1 trillion in spending buried amongst the 1990 pages of lost healthcare choices, tax increases and union giveaways. While the taxes for this debacle start now the supposed coverage starts to kick in sometime in 2014.
 
But you’re wrong Joe.  Even with the 4000 plus pages you have created to misdirect us, Americans understand what you’ve done. We may not understand how the healthcare bill that couldn’t pass on its own merits became law anyway through the reprehensible use of cloture, but we do understand the damage you’ve done. And we also understand how to put a stop to it.
 
November is trundling down the road. As November 2nd, the day of the midterm election, draws near we will hear more and more of how clueless the voters are. It’s up to us to prove Big Joe wrong or to prove him right.
 
For me, the prospect of Change has never inspired more Hope.
 

The Soul of Audacity

July 11 2010 by Big Frick in Barack Obama, Obama, democrats, election |No Comments
“Where does a self-made man go on Mother’s Day?”
 
Such were the rhetorical tidbits an old friend of mine’s father would come up with. He had a ton of them. The best I was ever able to retort in this battle of clever witticisms was a lame response like “Yea, well, you can lead a horticulture but you can’t make her think”. Not quite on the same deep thought provoking level, but you go with what you got.
 
Old Mr. Atkinson’s quote has stuck with me through the years and it recently got me thinking about a different destination quandary. I know about Heaven and Hell, and thanks to my years of nun-enforced Roman Catholic tutelage I even know about the heavenly suburbs of Purgatory and Limbo. But what I don’t know is; where does a man go who has no soul?
 
I may not know the answer but I am fairly certain that wherever it is that the soulless unregenerate dwell to infinity and beyond, the dissembled demagogue of Hope and Change will one day be an eternal resident. And he won’t be alone. His close political minions, who for a myriad of self-serving reasons have chosen to abandon their own eternal souls as well, will join him in the perpetual chanting of “Yes We Can”.
 
We are all big boys and girls and even though we know the political winds of change are constantly howling down Pennsylvania Avenue there are some acts that are so brazen in their blatant and shallow attempt to gain favor that it is almost enough to cause one to lose his or her Quarter Pounder with cheese. Such are the recent desperate acts of this presidential purveyor of jackleg hyperbole.
 
While this campaigning commander never really stopped stumping, it will be important for all of America to remember that every single action, every utterance, every well scripted and tele-prompted ad lib is in fact being carried out for the sole purpose of gaining votes for the November midterm election.
 
After shunning the Israeli Prime Minister and refusing to even have his picture taken with him just months ago, this Gucci clad chameleon is now walking arm in arm with the leader of the Jewish state and pausing to wave goodbye at the end of the White House driveway like the closing credits from “The Beverly Hillbillies”, all in an effort to bolster the Jewish vote in November.
 
After failing miserably to serve and protect the citizens of Arizona from the raging drug warlords carrying out mass assassinations just blocks from the Arizona/Mexico border this fallacious fraud sends in the ominous power of the Justice Department and his “Nation of Cowards” henchman to sue the state, all in an effort to persuade Hispanic voters back into his corner. Never mind the cost. Never mind the damage. And then, in what can only be described as the ballsiest statement ever, this misguided megalomaniac tried to convince the country that this porous border is safer now than at any time in the last 20 years.
 
As the American economy continues to purge jobs at about the same rate as the yet uncapped BP oil gusher this sciolistic socialist and his foot-in-mouth fool VP take to the road to pronounce the trillion plus dollars spent on gangbanger tattoo removal machines and the Spotted California Teat Mouse is actually a grand success. All in an effort to convince…..Hell, even I don’t know who they think they can sway with that load of crap.
 
It is a dangerous time to be a Democrat. And it is even more dangerous to be the figurehead of the Democrat Party. Having risen so high so fast only to fall to the depths of political despair dragging an entire midterm ticket with him.
 
And it is even more dangerous for the country when the maligned Messiah has no soul or conscience. For at the depths he is at there is nothing that is beneath him.

The Audacity of Being Hillary

June 20 2010 by Big Frick in Arizona, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, illegal immigrantion, immigration |No Comments
“…President Obama has spoken out against the law, because he thinks the federal government should determine immigration policy, and the Justice Department, under his direction, will be bringing a lawsuit against the act…” 
 
That is how Secretary of State Hillary Clinton answered the opening question about the new Arizona immigration law in her interview with an Ecuadorian television news reporter.
 
Many are baffled by why the Secretary of State would “spill the beans” on this president’s intent to sue Arizona before the president or his flunky in the Justice Department, Eric “Nation of Cowards” Holder made the announcement.
 
“It’s not even her department” some have said. “This is a huge gaffe for such an experienced politician” others have added.
 
To those who have been fretting about how Hillary could pull back the curtain prematurely on such a sensitive subject I can only say, you haven’t been paying attention. This was no accident. This was no slip of the tongue. This was in fact an opening salvo. I keep waiting in vain for the political pundits to identify this for what it actually is.
 
Welcome to campaign 2012.
 
The words used by wannabe president Clinton are not those of someone unprepared to answer a question she absolutely knew was coming. They are carefully chosen and more importantly directed with pinpoint laser accuracy.
 
Hillary Clinton is a member of an administration that is seen as a dismal failure. She is on a losing team and it is apparent, at least to me, that she is looking to separate herself from a president whose approval ratings are dropping faster than Barney Frank’s swim trunks at a Fire Island beach party.
 
Read carefully exactly what Hillary had to say. This team player, this member of Obama’s inner circle, not once did she use the word we or us or even this administration. No, her comments were clear and precise. President Obama has spoken out against the law. President Obama thinks the federal government should be in charge of states immigration policy. And President Obama is directing the Justice Department to file suit.
 
There may be no “I” in TEAM, but Hillary is making it pretty clear that “I had nothing to do with it”.
 
Hillary has left the reservation. She knows that a majority of Americans support Arizona’s efforts to make illegal immigration illegal. She knows that the vast majority of Americans support the constitutional right of states to protect themselves as they see fit. She knows that the vast majority of Americans are tired, frustrated and downright angry by this administration’s complete ineptness in every major challenge facing our country from illegal immigration to national security, from out of control deficit spending to stupid and ineffective cap and trade policy, from nationalized healthcare to the BP oil spill. She knows these things because she learned it from the most adept poll watching tap dancer to ever grace the oval office, the love of her life, and countless other lives throughout both global hemispheres, Bill Clinton.
 
Bill Clinton never met a poll he didn’t like, or at least one he couldn’t adapt to his political advantage. Hillary sees the numbers and knows what would have seemed impossible just 12 months ago now seems like it is not only possible but probable; there will be a challenge within the Democratic Party for the presidential nomination.
 
Hillary is making it clear that she is not looking for another term as Secretary of State should Barack Hussein Obama be foolish enough to run in 2012. She is looking for a way out and she just might have found it. Obama has to know that if Hillary is willing to screw up his political timing on the Arizona lawsuit she will be willing to let an entire herd of cats out of the bag. And unlike 12 short months ago, she may actually have some national support to do just that.
 
Barack Hussein Obama is no longer the black gold he once was to the Democrat National Committee and if ever there was the need for proof of that, the November midterm elections will supply it. The Democrats are looking at an election disaster that will make the tragic BP spill look like a driveway oil spot. Maybe that Mayan calendar was actually for the Democrats.
 
Hillary is looking to run. She’s looking to run away from this president.
 
But not his office.        

Is He Smarter Than a Fifth Grader

June 13 2010 by Big Frick in Barack Obama, economy, liberalism, liberals |No Comments
The beauty of math is that there is no gray area.
 
In this day and age of the Great Barack Obfuscation where nothing adds up and numbers don’t matter, an economic scholar named Daniel B. Kline conducted a survey regarding economic fact versus opinion. The results were printed in the Wall Street Journal on June 8th under the title “Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?” 

Rather than trying to interpret the results I will simply share this most revealing article with you.

By DANIEL B. KLEIN

Who is better informed about the policy choices facing the country—liberals, conservatives or libertarians? According to a Zogby International survey that I write about in the May issue of Econ Journal Watch, the answer is unequivocal: The left flunks Econ 101.
 
Zogby researcher Zeljka Buturovic and I considered the 4,835 respondents’ (all American adults) answers to eight survey questions about basic economics. We also asked the respondents about their political leanings: progressive/very liberal; liberal; moderate; conservative; very conservative; and libertarian.
 
Rather than focusing on whether respondents answered a question correctly, we instead looked at whether they answered incorrectly. A response was counted as incorrect only if it was flatly unenlightened.
 
Consider one of the economic propositions in the December 2008 poll: "Restrictions on housing development make housing less affordable." People were asked if they: 1) strongly agree; 2) somewhat agree; 3) somewhat disagree; 4) strongly disagree; 5) are not sure.
 
Basic economics acknowledges that whatever redeeming features a restriction may have, it increases the cost of production and exchange, making goods and services less affordable. There may be exceptions to the general case, but they would be atypical.
 
Therefore, we counted as incorrect responses of "somewhat disagree" and "strongly disagree." This treatment gives leeway for those who think the question is ambiguous or half right and half wrong. They would likely answer "not sure," which we do not count as incorrect.
 
In this case, percentage of conservatives answering incorrectly was 22.3%, very conservatives 17.6% and libertarians 15.7%. But the percentage of progressive/very liberals answering incorrectly was 67.6% and liberals 60.1%. The pattern was not an anomaly.
 
The other questions were: 1) Mandatory licensing of professional services increases the prices of those services (unenlightened answer: disagree). 2) Overall, the standard of living is higher today than it was 30 years ago (unenlightened answer: disagree). 3) Rent control leads to housing shortages (unenlightened answer: disagree). 4) A company with the largest market share is a monopoly (unenlightened answer: agree). 5) Third World workers working for American companies overseas are being exploited (unenlightened answer: agree). 6) Free trade leads to unemployment (unenlightened answer: agree). 7) Minimum wage laws raise unemployment (unenlightened answer: disagree).
 
How did the six ideological groups do overall? Here they are, best to worst, with an average number of incorrect responses from 0 to 8: Very conservative, 1.30; Libertarian, 1.38; Conservative, 1.67; Moderate, 3.67; Liberal, 4.69; Progressive/very liberal, 5.26.
 
Americans in the first three categories do reasonably well. But the left has trouble squaring economic thinking with their political psychology, morals and aesthetics.
To be sure, none of the eight questions specifically challenge the political sensibilities of conservatives and libertarians. Still, not all of the eight questions are tied directly to left-wing concerns about inequality and redistribution. In particular, the questions about mandatory licensing, the standard of living, the definition of monopoly, and free trade do not specifically challenge leftist sensibilities.
 
Yet on every question the left did much worse. On the monopoly question, the portion of progressive/very liberals answering incorrectly (31%) was more than twice that of conservatives (13%) and more than four times that of libertarians (7%). On the question about living standards, the portion of progressive/very liberals answering incorrectly (61%) was more than four times that of conservatives (13%) and almost three times that of libertarians (21%).
 
The survey also asked about party affiliation. Those responding Democratic averaged 4.59 incorrect answers. Republicans averaged 1.61 incorrect, and Libertarians 1.26 incorrect.
Adam Smith described political economy as "a branch of the science of a statesman or legislator." Governmental power joined with wrongheadedness is something terrible, but all too common. Realizing that many of our leaders and their constituents are economically unenlightened sheds light on the troubles that surround us.

To Honor And Remember

May 30 2010 by Big Frick in Memorial Day, military |No Comments
It is no accident that Barack Hussein Obama is the President of the United States of America.
 
Take a moment to think about it. I my lifetime we have gone from a country where a black guy could be arrested, or worse, for drinking from the “Whites Only” water fountain to a nation that elected one of the few true African Americans into its highest office. 
 
In that same span of years we have gone from a country where many areas did not have even the most basic modern conveniences to a country where a technophobe like me can walk around with not only a telephone strapped to my hip but a mini-computer that has 10 times the capability of the NASA computer that landed men on the moon.  
 
In far less than our 234 years of existence we have gone from a nation where barter was the main exchange in a business transaction to a nation that, like it or not, controls the entire world’s economy. The recent US economic downturn proved beyond a doubt that if the US economy gets a cold the rest of the world gets pneumonia.
 
We are a nation that has developed at light speed when compared to other countries. One doesn’t need to travel very far from our boarders to find people living in conditions that were thought unbearable 200 years ago. And in some cases even longer than that.
 
We are a nation that sadly takes for granted all that we have. And we have so much of it that illegal immigrants from around the world are willing to risk their very life just to enjoy a small part of it.
 
To what do we owe our remarkable freedom and unparalleled rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness? Do we owe it to our Founding Fathers who put it all on paper and gave us a guideline for national development? In part. Do we owe it to American ingenuity and our dedicated, unstoppable spirit? Of course we do, but how does that spirit thrive and continue to grow unabated? Do we owe it to God and His divine providence? Certainly we do, for without Him there would be no us. But as has been shown time and again in the development and protection of this great nation, while in biblical times God used a burning bush or His own hand to further His plan, in the United States sometimes he uses an 18 year old kid from Dubuque Iowa. Or a 23 year old college grad from Kearney Nebraska. Or a 38 year old father of 4 from Huntsville Mississippi.
 
Barack Obama is president today because thousands upon thousands of America’s finest paid the ultimate price to keep our nation and its people free to choose their own destiny. Every modern convenience we have is thanks to the blood spilled by an American military member who gave their all so that we could enjoy the fruits of a free nation. When was the last time you heard of a great innovation coming from Communist, Fascist or Islamic Extremist nation that did not involve killing more people more efficiently?  Iran is not looking to use their fledgling nuclear program to develop a cure for cancer or to power the i pod chargers of its beleaguered citizenry. Everything we Americans have is thanks to those who gave all they had so we could have all we do.
 
At Casa Big Frick every day is Memorial Day. My flag flies 365 days a year to honor our country and those brave men and women who have fought and died to protect her. Unfortunately come Tuesday morning our neighborhoods will be lined with far more recycle bins overflowing with empty beer bottles than it was with American flags honoring those the holiday was meant for. 
 
This is a holiday of honor, not remorse. It is a holiday of remembrance, not regret. It is a holiday of pride and gratitude for those who gave and of unwavering resolve that their sacrifice will never be forgotten or taken for granted.
 
"It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived." – General George S. Patton, Jr

The Audacity of a Conservative Court

May 24 2010 by Big Frick in Supreme Court, affirmative action, chicago, conservatives, discrimination, liberals, politicians, racism |No Comments
Like it or not, you gotta love it.
 
If you read the papers today you would see that the Supreme Court ruled 9 – 0 in favor of 6,000 black applicants for firefighter suing the City of Chicago. At least that’s the way it’s being reported.
 
While to phrase it that way is not completely untrue, it was absolutely not the intent of the court, or to be more precise the conservatives on the court, to pass any judgment on the actual lawsuit.
 
What the Supreme Court ruled on today was not the merits of suit, which was filed after blacks claimed they were racially excluded from the civil service hiring process, but rather that the suit itself had all the legal elements necessary to be heard.
 
This suit has been battered back and forth in the courts for the last 15 years. It came to be filed after Chicago held open exams to fill a few hundred firefighter positions in 1995. 26,000 applicants took the test. Because the number of applicants so far outnumbered the available positions, the City of Chicago put in a “cut-off” score of 89 or better for applicants to be considered. This “cut-off” meant a large number of minority applicants did not qualify for employment. The suit claims that the “cut-off” was racially motivated. The city, of course, disagrees. After several court rulings the US 7th Circuit Court of Appeals finally ruled the suit had no merit because the applicants had taken too long to file. It was that ruling and that ruling alone that the Supreme Court overturned today with their unanimous decision.
 
So why would Big Frick love the fact that the City of Chicago has to defend itself against a possible racial discrimination judgment that could reach $100 million? Most of you loyal readers know what I think of racial quotas in the workplace and in hiring. And for those that don’t let me explain; they suck. When Barack Obama waxed with his poetic flare and glycerin tears about the days when one of his daughters was very ill he did not mention that they took her to a black doctor, or had her cared for by a black nurse.  No, the Obama’s sought out the most qualified medical personnel money could buy. Shouldn’t the rest of us have the same option? Shouldn’t the citizens of Chicago be given the best, most qualified applicants to protect their life and property? Not according to Congress.  In the law passed in 1991 by Congress employers are not allowed to use an "employment practice" that had a "disparate impact on the basis of race." By those standards the Obama family should have been prevented, as employers, from seeking a doctor based on his superior knowledge of their daughter’s malady and forced to see a minority doctor who, for all intents and purposes, could have provided at least some level of medical care.
 
I love the court’s decision not because I agree with the lawsuit, but because the conservatives on the court did their job. They openly admitted that they disagree with the law as it is written. But they ruled on the law and not on their personal life experiences or their pie in the sky interpretation of how things should be.
 
Commenting on the decision Justice Antonin Scalia (one of my personal hero’s) said the law creates "practical problems for employers" and can "produce puzzling results." He concluded, however, "it is a problem for Congress, not one that federal courts can fix."
 
And that is exactly the point. The Supreme Court is not there to create law; it is there to uphold the constitution. If the law is flawed, as this law obviously is, it is a job for the “law makers” to fix, not the court.
 
This case may well end up back before the high court to rule on the law’s constitutionality, much like the case recently heard regarding the New Haven firefighters. But that was not the question before the court today. The question today was, is there currently a law that allows these applicants to file suit. Every single conservative on the court knows this is a bad law. But every single conservative on the court did his job and ruled yes.
 
The conservative justices did what they were entrusted to do. If you don’t like the law than take it up with the liberal nit wits that made it a law.
 
Your opportunity to be heard is coming in November. 

The Audacity Of Ineptitude

May 15 2010 by Big Frick in Barack Obama, Culture War, Uncategorized, eric holder, illegal immigrantion |No Comments
Did you ever watch the TV show “Cops”?
 
Don’t hold me to it, but “Cops” may have been the first true television reality show. It’s been on the air a long time and folks just can’t seem to get enough of it.
 
A camera crew goes on patrol with the men of women of law enforcement recording them as they do their best to uphold and enforce the law. Invariably they will track down some black guy and begin questioning him about his activities and listen in amused amazement as the guy being questioned spouts some ridiculous gibberish, acting as if he was an expert on the law. The only problem of course is that his ranting doesn’t even come close to the facts, the truth or the law.
 
Did you watch the House Judiciary Committee hearing of Obama’s legal expert Attorney General Eric Holder?
 
Except for the lack of flashing squad car lights it was pretty much the same thing.
 
When asked if he had actually read the new Arizona illegal immigration law, this leader of Obama’s legal braintrust, the Attorney General of the United States of America, the man who had spent an entire weekend damning the law and all those involved in its passage on just about every news show available to him (except Fox News of course), admitted that he had not.
 
Eric Holder, the man who early in his term as Attorney General had no problem condemning America as “a nation of cowards”, spoke on each of the major networks new programs with all faux compassion he could muster, unequivocally stating that the new Arizona law was a danger to not only illegal immigrants but to all Americans and our very way of life. He made those comments knowing full well that he had no idea what the law said. He spoke at length about the likelihood that the Obama administration would sue in federal court to abolish this law, and he did that as well completely ignorant of what the law contained. He admitted on the news shows that the law was not racially motivated, but added that we were entering a “slippery slope” toward racial profiling. How could he possibly make a statement like that when a few days later he admitted to the members of the House Judiciary Committee that, while he “glanced” at the law, he never actually read it? It was pointed out to him that the entire law is only 10 pages long. It couldn’t have taken a man who had an entire weekend to condemn it more than a few minutes to actually read it.  The unmitigated gall of this finger pointing political hack is absolutely astounding. He had to know after his incendiary comments that he would be asked about it. He could have read all 10 pages during the limo ride from his office to Capitol Hill.
 
There is no question that Barack Obama has certainly brought a culture of “Change” to Washington. And the “Change” he has brought was on full display when this neophyte president’s equally amateurish Attorney General embarrassed himself, his boss and the entire American legal system by his remarkably inane and uninformed answers.
 
Holder has done nothing but fan the partisan flames of liberal separatism. So in that sense he is following the Obama administrations playbook to a tee. Likeminded liberal politico’s from around the country are jumping onboard the Obama “Culture War Express” and cutting off all ties with all things Arizona. Never mind that the damage they are doing will be felt most by the very people they are claiming to support.  Los Angeles pulled $8 million out of the Arizona economy by banning all travel for city business to Arizona. Other cities with equally clueless city counsels are threatening to do the same.
 
Do you think this boycott of Arizona is going to do harm to an inanimate state or the politicians that rule over it? Or will this loss of travel dollars be felt most by the working poor who make a living in travel and hospitality industry in Arizona?
 
All I can say to AG Holder is thanks. Thanks for pulling back the curtain on this inept administration and showing a “nation of cowards” what they actually voted for.
 
Now, let’s see what a “nation of cowards” can do with that enlightening information this coming November.

Oh Baby!

May 8 2010 by Big Frick in media, political correctness, stupidity. humor |2 Comments
Sincere thanks to the thousands that wrote to say they miss their regular dose of Big Frick. Unfortunately my schedule has gotten pretty crazy, but I hope to be able to continue to make at least semi-regular additions to the blog.
 
It’s not like there is nothing to write about.
 
We’ve got a president that is claiming his trillion dollar nightmare known as ObamaCare is already helping millions, even though none of the programs have been instituted yet. The most amazing thing is that he is able to say this stuff with a straight face.
 
We’ve got the regular Obama coat-holding media bashing all things Arizona for their life saving law that makes doing things illegal in Arizona illegal. What a concept!
 
We’ve got a plethora of evirno-nuts flying around the country in jet fueled jet planes calling for a ban on the off shore oil drilling that allows their planes to fly.
 
We’ve got yet another Muslim trying his best to blow up innocent Americans in the name of Jihad and a president that has banned the term “war on terror”. Maybe if Obama would just apologize again they would leave us alone.
 
We’ve got a candidate on the short list for the next Supreme Court Justice that has repeatedly had her judicial rulings overturned as being completely unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. It’s tough to take a Supreme Court Justice seriously when they have a worse record in the court than Larry Flynt.
 
We’ve got Nashville underwater while the White House remains conspicuously silent, desperately searching for a way to blame it on the Bush administration.
 
We’ve got new unemployment numbers that show the trillion dollar stimulus package has done absolutely nothing to stimulate and a White House frantically trying to spin that into good news. In the next few weeks when the current number is revised from 9.9% to back up over 10% they will claim that this makes it even better.
 
We’ve got the president’s approval rating deader than Michael Jackson, both of which were caused by the misguided actions of a black guy who didn’t know what the hell he was doing dabbling in the medical care.
 
So what do we write about? How about Sandra Bullock.
 
Yes, Sandra Bullock. America’s sweetheart. Oscar winner. And number one hot hottie on Big Frick’s list of women he would most like to disappoint.
 
It’s obvious this little cutie pop has a dark side, or at least likes her men to have a dark side. I thought at first when she married the motorcycle mad man Jesse James that either opposites really do attract, or maybe old Jesse wasn’t the same bad guy he portrayed in his public persona. James left his second wife, a convict porn star, to hook up with Bullock and together they formed what could only be described as a unique family unit.
 
At least on the surface, the private life for pretty little Sandra looked like all was well. Jesse cleaned up nice and made public appearances next to his mega-celebrity wife only occasionally looking like a turd in a bow tie.
 
But all that fell apart thanks to Jesse James public admission that he had contracted Tiger Woods Syndrome. A condition where a guy with a really, really hot wife has the uncontrollable urge to wallow in the pig pen. I don’t know what went on behind closed doors so I will withhold judgment on the how and the why, but thanks to a media that celebrates slutdom we can’t help but know the who.
 
But now it has come to light that while Sandy and Jesse were still man and wife, they were allowed to adopt a baby from New Orleans. Not just any baby, a black baby.
 
I am in no way condemning the adoption of a black kid by white parents. But who in the hell is doing the background checks in New Orleans? They gave a black baby to a woman married to man with swastikas tattooed on his chest, that had his picture taken in a Nazi outfit giving the Heil Hitler salute and is fighting his porn star ex-wife for custody of his kids. With Jesse James extensive police record and troubled past the Bullock-James family was no more eligible to adopt a baby than Manson family. Except, of course, for the celebrity status.
 
Why is it that People Magazine puts Bullock and her new baby on the cover and all the star struck media report glowingly about this wondrous bonding of mother and child and nobody even questions how a baby could be adopted by a family with this history and proven level of dysfunction.
 
Jesse is gone now. But somebody in New Orleans gave that man a baby. 
 
And if that doesn’t scare the crap out of you than your either not paying attention or simply crapless.

ObamaCare and Old Pat

March 21 2010 by Big Frick in Barack Obama, ObamaCare, democrats |No Comments
I have indeed known some real doozies in my life.
 
Like a fellow I knew named Pat that worked on a road building crew. He would go out every weekend and simply abuse himself to the point of a comatose like blackout. He always claimed he had a great weekend but he could never tell you where he was or what he did. What made it even stranger was that every Monday he would visit the job site Port-A-Potty and deliver what could only be described as the very brimstone of hell. It became almost a pay per view event because not only was the little gift package he left behind absolutely inhuman, it was, well….Technicolor.
 
Bright canary yellow, fluorescent green, deep purple, sky blue, shocking pink…. It was like a very gay interior decorator with a flair for the absurd had invaded his alimentary system. There were actually grown men who would intentionally follow this poor sot into the fiberglass commode to gaze in awe at the remarkable load of crap that he created.  It was hideously offensive and completely disgusting, but believe it or not old Pat couldn’t have been prouder of it. He acted as if he was some sort of artist with a very unusual palette.   
 
As I watch the Democrats celebrate their passage of the ObamaCare trillion dollar debacle I can’t help but be reminded of Pat.
 
Much like Pat this mess was truly something that Democrats were desperate to pass. And while they may all be standing around shaking each other’s hand at the historic nature of this unconstitutional boondoggle it is, none the less, a complete load of crap.
 
To her credit Nancy Pelosi was able to focus her minions on the remarkable palette of this load rather than the substance of it. Every political trick in the book was used to ensure passage because on its own the bill stunk to high heaven. But now that it’s passed Democrats are exiting the Halls of Congress with the same misguided pride my old pal Pat displayed and the same wry sense of accomplishment in saying “Hey look what I did”.
 
This bill will do nothing to improve healthcare, in fact the exact opposite will be true. It adds 35 million to the role of insured but does nothing to increase the number of healthcare professionals that will treat them. It will likely cause many in the healthcare business to reevaluate their business model, forcing some out of business entirely and forcing others to completely change the way they do business. 
 
Seniors and those who will soon be seniors will likely be the first to see the change as more and more doctors will be financially unable to accept new Medicare patients and some will be unable to treat the ones they have. To foolishly claim $500 billion can be taken out of Medicare without reducing the level of healthcare provided is like saying you can buy a Filet Mignon for the same as a McDonald’s hamburger and not lose anything in the quality. The bill is so convoluted that even Barack Obama himself doesn’t understand it. He said this past week that “A year from now millions of adults who are currently uninsured will have insurance”. The fact is that the bills coverage for adults doesn’t start for another 4 years. The only thing that starts next year is the tax increase to pay for this pile of promissory poocaa.
 
As for my old pal Pat, well the years of unregenerate abuse finally caught up with him and he passed away. After years of unregenerate abuse heaped on the American public in the past and for the years of financial disaster this bill all but guarantees in the future I can only hope the political careers of those Democrats that voted for this disaster to our healthcare system will do the same.
 
Barack Obama got ObamaCare passed.
 
But still wouldn’t want to step in it.  
 

The Audacity of Infamy

March 14 2010 by Big Frick in Barack Obama |No Comments
“It’s like a dream come true”
 
How many times we heard that same sentiment, repeated over and over again, that chilly November day when Barack Hussein Obama swept the American public’s hearts and their votes to become the first person with at least some African decent to become President of the United States.
 
But much like December 7, 1941, November 3, 2009 is indeed a day that will live in infamy.
 
Unlike that December day, November 3, 2009 did not see the same countrywide shock and fear. Most of us conservative minded Americans had come to accept the inevitable outcome. The polls had shown Obama with a wide lead for weeks leading up to the election and his opponent John McCain had done nothing extraordinary to sway the last minute undecided voters. With his middle of the road, hands across the aisle approach he did very little to sway his own party either.
 
No, November 3rd was not a day of shock, but for many of us it was indeed a day of fear. It had been an election where nothing, I mean absolutely nothing, of substance mattered. Here was this dark skinned man with a white mother and African father who had no discernable Negro dialect, unless he wanted to, talking about Hope and Change with no definition for either. The black community was understandably ecstatic and energized like never before. The liberal white voting bloc was equally rapturous and the rest of the country was split between those who wanted to believe and those, like me, who had seen what happens when you elect a neophyte like Jimmy Carter to escape what the press had created as a national crisis.
 
But now, here we sit a little more than a year into this four year nightmare and the fear I felt has not only grown in me, but it has spread to those who were once completely euphoric over the election results. Reality is indeed a bitch. And that is what we are dealing with today. The reality of electing the most liberal, inexperienced human being to ever grace the oval office.
 
And what of all that Change? Well, Americans are beginning to see that change is only a good thing of it’s a change for the better. The Obama administration and his minions in Congress have indeed brought change to the national debt. They’ve tripled it from where it was when candidate Obama was warning it was unsustainable. They are trying to change the entire nation’s healthcare system, and even though the American public has shouted stop by a three to one margin, the Obama administration bulls its way ahead. Not because it’s the right thing to do for the country, but simply because it’s the thing to do for this misguided neophytes misguided legacy. And how are they planning to ram this life altering legislation down the still healthy throats of America? By using reconsiliation.  The same old tactics and political gamesmanship that Obama swore he would do away with. Because you cannot use the political tactic of reconciliation unless it concerns a budget item, the Obama administration is now looking to tie student aid (a budget item) to the healthcare bill (a non-budget item) so they only need a simple majority in the reconciliation process rather than the super majority this super mistake would otherwise legally require.
 
On the Sunday talk shows we see yet another major change Barack Hussein Obama is about to undertake. The changing of Israel from a sovereign nation, defending itself against a sea of blood-lusting Muslims into a weak and basically defenseless community of Jews living under the thumb of their sworn enemies.
 
I never understood how Obama carried such a large percentage of the American Jewish vote having sat at the feet of the right anti-Semitic and far less right reverend Jeremiah Wright for over 20 years. I can only wonder what those Jewish Obama voters are feeling today. Deceived? Bamboozled? Angry?
 
Maybe all those things. And probably one more as well.
 
Fear. Lots and lots of fear.
