Steve Wynn on Fox News Sunday

I don't own a TV so I listen to Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace online. If it's a really good show, I'll watch later on Fox News Sunday's Hulu channel. This was a really good show.

Steve Wynn, the CEO of Wynn Resorts, was on discussing jobs with Michigan governor Jennifer Granholm...

Wynn: Government has never increased the standard of living of one single human being in civilization's history. For some reason that simple truth has evaded everybody. The only thing that creates an increased standard of living is giving someone a job, the demand for their labor -- whether it's you and I, Chris, or anybody else. The people that are paying the price for this juggernaut of federal spending are the middle class and the working class of America.

…soaring rhetoric and great speeches with or without a teleprompter aren't going to change the truth, and the truth is the biggest enemy, the biggest obstacle that working middle-class America has is government spending.

Granholm: It's just so simplistic to say that! With all due respect, I mean, to say that government has never created a job or increased the standard of living. You know, I mean there -- there are a lot of people who are grateful that in this country we have a minimum wage. There are a lot of people who are grateful that they have access to Medicare and Medicaid. And I hope that we get access further to additional health care for those who are uninsured. I mean, there is a balance here. To say that government is all evil... This is a democracy. It's the greatest country in the world.

Wynn: I didn't say that at all. I'm saying that the source of government revenue, the source of well-being in this country is employment. That allows companies to pay taxes, employees to pay taxes. That's the source here and it's gotten out of focus.

Granholm: I agree with you.

Wynn: Okay. That's my point, Governor. I'm not making any other point. And, believe me, ma'am, I've got 20,000 employees. I've had as many as 150,000 families that I've been self-insuring. There's nothing "simplistic" about my approach to this problem.

Wow, he really handed it to her -- nothing against governor Granholm; if any other statist had been in that chair the results would have been the same.

Steve Wynn is my new hero and, I think, radio listeners everywhere will agree that he has a great voice. If you missed it, catch it. If you saw it, it's worth seeing again.

Obama's Doctored Photo-op

As long as I'm dredging up old news, I can't help but take a jab at this one. I heard the story when it came out last week but it wasn't until I saw the photos this weekend that I realized just how truly ridiculous the whole thing was.

I can just hear the old folks back home...

Sonny: Hey Maw, come see! The President is given' ah speech on the Tee-Vee about how good Obamacare is, and he's got doctors with him! They got on their doctor coats and everything.

Maw: Well I'll be doggone, them doctors do got on their doctor coats, they must be real doctors.

Sonny: That's right Maw. And them doctors think Obamacare is real good too, just like I told-ja.

Maw: Well I'll be doggone, it must be true then, if them doctors in their doctor coats think Obama care is good too.

Sonny: That's right Maw, they must be real doctors if'n they got on them doctor coats.

Maw: Well I'll be doggone... I wonder why I got all this mail from the Hemlock Society today?

Sonny: I signed you up with them Maw, they'rah senior citizen organization, you know, like the Aye Aye Are-ah Pee.

Give me a break. How stupid does the 'Ego in Chief' think we are? It would be insulting... if it weren't so damned laughable.

LaRouche is a Left Wing Nut Job

Everyone should know by now that Lyndon LaRouche, the man behind the 'Obama as Hitler' posters, is a left wing nut job; not a right wing nut job. Many consider him a communist. It seems that some of you in the Obamedia and nutroots blogosphere are still confused.

According to Wikipedia, every lefty's favorite encyclopedia, he's run for President of the United States eight times since 1976, once as a U.S. Labor Party candidate and seven times as a candidate for the Democratic Party nomination. He declared his support for John Kerry, pledged to mobilize his organization to help defeat George W. Bush, and he supported Hillary Clinton in 2008.

So get it straight CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS and all the rest of you left wing lapdog sycophants.

Actually, Mr. LaRouche appears to be a Liberal Fascist, which means, that's right, Lyndon LaRouche is a Nazi... another kumbaya moment. You're Welcome.

Millions March On D.C.

Millions of conservatives marched on Washington D.C. - yes, millions. Don't believe what you're hearing from the left-wing propagandists and sycophants in the Obamedia. Preliminary estimates range from one to two million.

Here's proof...
9/12 DC Time Lapse Video
9/12 Protest Was Over One Million
Media Credibility Plunges; Aerial Views Shows Millions
NYT Reports Thousands, Daily Mail Reports Millions

That's not counting the millions that marched in other parts of this great country. True Americans are tired of, and angry about big government's takeover of America. It's not racism and we're not the fringe.

We want to pass on the greatness that America is to our future generations, that's true compassion. We don't want to hand our children a third world, debt ridden, socialist state.

It ends here big government republicans and democrats. Heed the call or be swept aside. Can you hear us now?

Wilson Tells Truth - Obama Lies

Representative Joe Wilson (R-SC) told the truth when he proclaimed "you lie!" during President Obama's national health care address.

Obama has lied about what he believes, what he's going to do, his healthcare plan and more.

I'm glad someone in government finally had the courage to use the word "lie." I'm tired of euphemisms such as "disingenuous," "not forthcoming," or "inaccurate" when describing the many lies told by politicians and policy makers - It's about time.

Way to go Joe.

Right-Wing Domestic Terrorists

I've been called a Nazi, a racist, a fascist, and now, a terrorist.

Name-calling isn't unusual in politics; lawmakers, politicians and us common folks call each other names regularly. What is unusual however is for elected government officials to call those of us in the general public names, and that's exactly what the Democrats are doing.

As we fight back against our own Right-Wing Domestic Terrorists who are subverting the American Democratic Process, whipped to frenzy by their Fox Propaganda Network ceaselessly re-seizing power for their treacherous leaders.

This latest statement comes directly from barackobama.com, a website paid for and operated by the Democratic National Committee.

Barack says the war on terror is over, I realize now that he was talking about those airplane crashing, American killing, suicide bomber al-Qaeda terrorists. It's still open season on anyone that dares to oppose Obama or his government run health care plan - you know - us right-wing domestic terrorists.

I am a bad man.

We're All Nazis Now

A Bushitler Retrospective. Now we can all get along just fine - Kumbaya.

"I have often been called a Nazi, and, although it is unfair, I don’t let it bother me. I don’t let it bother me for one simple reason. No one has ever had a fantasy about being tied to a bed and sexually ravished by someone dressed as a liberal."

- P.J. O’Rourke

Anti-Healthcare Hooligans

Democrats and the media want you to believe that right-wing, swastika-wearing thugs are being paid by evil insurance companies to invade and disrupt town hall meetings (that reminds me, I didn’t receive my Zionist check last month).

[pictures and videos of the unruly, right-wing mobs]

The White House instructed its minions to “get in their faces” and “punch back twice as hard” and I’ll be damned if the purple shirts didn’t go out and do just that. Later, that very same evening, several members of the SEIU (Service Employees International Union) where arrested for beating up an anti-health care reform activist. They punched Kenneth Gladney right in the face, exactly as instructed.

Before I continue let me define a couple of terms…

Astroturfing - Formal political or public relations campaigns seeking to create the impression of being spontaneous "grassroots" behavior.

Godwin's Law (modified by me) - As a political discussion grows longer and more impassioned, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 100%.

Democrats honestly believe that these protests are “astroturf” and not a true grass roots movement for two very good (in their tiny little hamster minds) reasons. One - the protesters are dressed too nicely. Every good progressive knows that any officially sanctioned, perpetually aggrieved group would never be so well dressed. Second - they believe that no true American would ever turn down a free government handout.

Conservatives don’t protest much, it’s not in our nature. We’re conservative after all. However, when we do step out in public, for whatever reason, we tend to dress appropriately. Democrats and the media (or anyone else for that matter) just aren’t used to seeing conservatives protest. That’s just what we look like when we go out. Get used to it.

Americans are smart, contrary to Bill Maher’s latest droppings on The Huffington Post, we know that nothing is free, especially if it comes from the government. As P. J. O'Rourke put it, “if you think health care is expensive now, just wait until it's free.” And the latest figures from the Congressional Budget Office bear that out.

Now, the fact is, most Americans are happy with their health care, but we are a compassionate country and we’d like to see those without adequate health care covered. The problem is that the Obama administration and the Democrat congress have gone too far, they seek too much government control and want to spend too much money.

Oh, I almost forgot about the Nazis. Nancy started it, but it was bound to happen.

Fannie and Freddie Meltdown

From Investor's Business Daily Editorials

Clinton-era corruption, combined with unprecedented catering to affordable-housing lobbyists, resulted in today's nationalization of both Fannie and Freddie, a move that is expected to cost taxpayers tens of billions of dollars.

And the worst is far from over. By the time it is, we'll all be paying for Clinton's social experiment, one that Obama hopes to trump with a whole new round of meddling in the housing and jobs markets. In fact, the social experiment Obama has planned could dwarf both the Great Society and New Deal in size and scope.

There's a political root cause to this mess that we ignore at our peril. If we blame the wrong culprits, we'll learn the wrong lessons. And taxpayers will be on the hook for even larger bailouts down the road.

But the government-can-do-no-wrong crowd just doesn't get it. They won't acknowledge the law of unintended consequences from well-meaning, if misguided, acts.

Obama and Democrats on the Hill think even more regulation and more interference in the market will solve the problem their policies helped cause. For now, unarmed by the historic record, conventional wisdom is buying into their blame-business-first rhetoric and bigger-government solutions.

While government arguably has a role in helping low-income folks buy a home, Clinton went overboard by strong-arming lenders with tougher and tougher regulations, which only led to lenders taking on hundreds of billions in subprime bilge.

Market failure? Hardly. Once again, this crisis has government's fingerprints all over it.

And you want the government to run the healthcare system?

Doctors and Socialized Healthcare

By Lee Wilson

I have always thought about socialized medicine from a consumer/patient/taxpayer's point of view. Lee Wilson recently did an impromptu interview with his doctor that's opened my eyes to an even more detrimental aspect of a government run health care system.

He started by telling me that if the government took control of the United States with system like Canada or the UK that there could only be a certain number of medical students (or dental, chiropractic, etc.) per year based on the perceived need. The government would choose who could go to medical school and force the others to pursue an alternate career or wait another year to see if the government would allow them to go to school (sounding like communism yet?).

He paused for a minute and said, "Doesn't sound much like the American dream, does it?" He mentioned that Canadian students who had dreamed of being doctors all their lives were coming to the United States to be educated because their government only allowed a certain number. And it wasn't the smartest and brightest that they allowed it. It was a selection similar to affirmative action where they picked a certain number of this color, gender, etc. instead of just taking the top x percent in terms of academics. So if your child is dreaming of being a doctor because he wants to help people...you'd better hope the government will allow him to go to school to learn how. If the U.S. adopts the Canadian/UK system, there's no where else he can go. The U.S. is the last free country in terms of pursuing that dream.

He went on to say that the government would also determine how many doctors were allowed to practice in a certain area. And once that number had been met, no more doctors would be allowed to practice. So current doctors, if they didn't make the magic number (again, not based on performance but on the PC obsession of an affirmative action type of approach), would have to move to where they were allowed to practice. And a certain percentage will have to stop practicing completely because the government decides how many are needed. So if you've been a doctor all your life and the government says the country doesn't need you, I guess you have to find another career.
