<p><strong>Surprise Is A Near Sighted Porcupine Falling In Love With A Cactus</strong><br />
Cowboy Proverb</p>
<p>I remember hearing my creative writing instructor say, we should write about things we are familiar with and understand.  I repeat this advice to myself at least once a week; my old writing instructor&#8217;s words have served well as a guide, but they have never been humorous until today. </p>
<p><strong>When You Got Nothin To Lose, Try Anything</strong><br />
Cowboy Proverb </p>
<p>Robin Abcarian was probably excited about the prospect of covering the horsey story of Ann Romney, while trying to gain political traction for the failed presidency of Barack Obama; however, writing an article on a minnow in the shark tank and trying to expose the secrets of life in the shark world is laughable.</p>
<p>Apparently, <a href="http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-ann-romney-dressage-20120522,0,5056646.story">Ann Romney</a> sold a horse and the horse turned up lame at a later date.  Does Robin know how many advanced Dressage Horses turn up lame at some point.  I&#8217;ll let you in on a little secret, Robin, nearly all of them.  Lameness finishes up all the careers of dressage, jumpers, hunters, and three day event horses; it is not a question of &#8220;will&#8221; or &#8220;if&#8221;, it is a question of &#8220;when&#8221;.  </p>
<blockquote><p>
It was the end of a long day in a stuffy Simi Valley office building. Ann Romney had been under oath for more than four hours, testifying in a sometimes contentious deposition about a pricey horse she sold that may or may not have been afflicted with a condition that made him unrideable.</p>
<p>In the airless room, Romney was getting annoyed.</p>
<p>&#8220;That really is — that really is irritating,&#8221; she said when the opposing attorney implied she didn&#8217;t know who looked after her horse in Moorpark when she was at her home in Boston. &#8220;Of course I know who was looking after my horse. You&#8217;re just trying to irritate me.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Stupidity and overwork on the part of a rider or trainer can lead to premature lameness, but if a horse continues to advance and compete, they will eventually become lame.  (Ask any human athlete at the upper levels if he has lameness)  There are a few &#8220;iron horses&#8221; that never display lameness, but they are approximately one in a thousand.</p>
<p>Is Dressage an Elitist Sport?  It can be, especially, if you ride in Sullivan Canyon, Beverly Hills, Malibu, Calabasas, Thousand Oaks, Hidden Valley, and Moorpark; however, there are low scale operations in those areas, where the riding is comparatively inexpensive.  Although, I must report, some of the Liberals&#8217; biggest and wealthiest <a href="http://http://floppingaces.net/2010/12/16/prejudice-among-the-elite/">donors</a> and fat cats are horse owners who live in these areas and their horse stories of indulgence would make delightful reading material for many Americans.  I am sure they would gain far more traction than Ann Romney&#8217;s deposition over a horse deal that went south.  (Not an uncommon event by the way, but when someone feels like a fool in California, someone else should pay.)  </p>
<p>When we speak of spending excessive amounts of money on equine indulgences, comparing the Libs in Sullivan Canyon and Malibu, to Ann Romney in Moorpark, would be like running a race between a freight train and a fat man.  The LA Times might call some of the Lib Fat Cats with horses and ask if they mind having their horse indulgences opened up to the internet.  Ask if they want the public to know of luxury bathrooms in barns that cost more than most homes in California or if they want to hear of wood from Africa and South America being used to build stalls for their horses.  Luxury digs for horses within twenty or thirty miles of people living in the drug infested squalor of the ghettos of LA.  The same ghetto dwellers for whom they pretend to care for so self-righteously.</p>
<p><strong>Do Not Tamper With The Natural Ignorance Of A Greenhorn</strong><br />
Cowboy Proverb</p>
<p>Ann Romney says she loves her horses and I believe her; although, I have never worked for her and I don&#8217;t know her, but I recognize her compassion for animals, for people like her, people with genuine or real compassion for horses, generally have the same compassion for humans.  </p>
<p>Many horse owners have no compassion for horses when they can no longer perform, they become more like inanimate objects; to be frank, they become disposable, they become devoid of value when they no longer allow the limelight to shine upon the rider.  They are discarded with extreme indifference, for they have served their purpose.  This is the real story, a story of cold callous cruelty, especially, among those who wear false compassion on their sleeve.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;It&#8217;s like children,&#8221; Romney, a mother of five, testified about Super Hit, the horse at the center of the lawsuit. &#8220;You don&#8217;t … say one is better than the other, but I loved him.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Ann Romney spends her own money on her horses, she feels they are therapeutic and for those of you who have read my articles on horses, you probably know, I agree with her.   </p>
<blockquote><p>
Romney, who rode horses as a girl, began riding seriously as an adult after being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1998. &#8220;I was losing most of the function of my right side,&#8221; she testified at her deposition on June 3, 2010. &#8220;And I decided I needed to go back and do what I loved before I couldn&#8217;t do it anymore.&#8221;</p>
<p>She soon fell in love with dressage, a fussy Olympic sport that is also called &#8220;horse ballet.&#8221; In dressage, a horse moves in delicate, dance-like steps to music as the rider, formally clad in top hat and tails, imperceptibly guides the animal.</p>
<p>Because it requires tremendous muscle control, dressage also provided Romney unexpected therapeutic benefits.</p>
<p>&#8220;Riding exhilarated me; it gave me a joy and a purpose,&#8221; Romney told the Chronicle of the Horse magazine in 2008. &#8220;When I was so fatigued that I couldn&#8217;t move, the excitement of going to the barn and getting my foot in the stirrup would make me crawl out of bed.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>So now, we know why Romney is not suited for the presidency.  His wife sold a horse that became lame and during a deposition she became annoyed with a lawyer or maybe it is because she has a healthy hobby, a hobby she pays for with her own money, instead of flying around on vacations at taxpayer&#8217;s expense with an entourage.  Oh excuse me, Michelle&#8217;s vacations are to promote good will around the world and show poor people how the Obamas can spend money on indulgences like separate jets to vacation hot spots, now there is an indulgence. </p>
<p>I would rather write about more significant political ideas, but if the LA Times wants to continue trying to smear Ann Romney over senseless and inane horse trivia, they might be surprised at the some of the secrets of the elite equestrian world.  </p>

<p>The Dodd Frank law was supposed to rein in abuses by Wall St. It was supposed to end &#8220;too big to fail.&#8221; It was supposed to end so-called &#8220;risky trading&#8221; by banks. Some of us knew better. Barack Obama was effusive in his <a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/remarks-president-signing-dodd-frank-wall-street-reform-and-consumer-protection-act">praise</a> of the bill as he signed it.</p>
<blockquote><p>We are gathered in the heart of our nation’s capital, surrounded by memorials to leaders and citizens who served our nation in its earliest days and in its days of greatest trial.  Today is such a time for America. </p>
<p>Over the past two years, we have faced the worst recession since the Great Depression.  Eight million people lost their jobs.  Tens of millions saw the value of their homes and retirement savings plummet.  Countless businesses have been unable to get the loans they need and many have been forced to shut their doors.  And although the economy is growing again, too many people are still feeling the pain of the downturn.</p>
<p>Now, while a number of factors led to such a severe recession, the primary cause was a breakdown in our financial system.  It was a crisis born of a failure of responsibility from certain corners of Wall Street to the halls of power in Washington.  For years, our financial sector was governed by antiquated and poorly enforced rules that allowed some to game the system and take risks that endangered the entire economy. </p>
<p><strong>Unscrupulous lenders locked consumers into complex loans with hidden costs.  Firms like AIG placed massive, risky bets with borrowed money.  And while the rules left abuse and excess unchecked, they also left taxpayers on the hook if a big bank or financial institution ever failed. </strong></p>
<p>Now, even before the crisis hit, I went to Wall Street and I called for common-sense reforms to protect consumers and our economy as a whole.  And soon after taking office, I proposed a set of reforms to empower consumers and investors, to bring the shadowy deals that caused this crisis into the light of day, and to put a stop to taxpayer bailouts once and for all.  (Applause.) Today, thanks to a lot of people in this room, those reforms will become the law of the land.</p></blockquote>
<p>We can sleep well</p>
<blockquote><p>Now, beyond the consumer protections I’ve outlined, reform will also rein in the abuse and excess that nearly brought down our financial system.  It will finally bring transparency to the kinds of complex and risky transactions that helped trigger the financial crisis.  Shareholders will also have a greater say on the pay of CEOs and other executives, so they can reward success instead of failure.</p></blockquote>
<p>Obama is standing watch</p>
<blockquote><p>And finally, because of this law, the American people will never again be asked to foot the bill for Wall Street’s mistakes. There will be no more tax-funded bailouts &#8212; period. If a large financial institution should ever fail, this reform gives us the ability to wind it down without endangering the broader economy.  And there will be new rules to make clear that no firm is somehow protected because it is “too big to fail,” so we don’t have another AIG.</p></blockquote>
<p>Yet despite their significant contribution to the financial meltdown, the GSE&#8217;s were <a href="http://news.investors.com/article/580835/201108081908/fannie-freddie-and-abject-failure.htm?p=full">left untouched</a> by Dodd-Frank. And they weren&#8217;t all that was left untouched.</p>
<p>Last week JP Morgan, headed by Obama pal Jamie Dimon, announced that it had <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2012/05/14/politics/crowley-wall-street/index.html">lost $2 billion</a> in trading.</p>
<p>Derivatives trading.</p>
<p>Dodd-Frank was supposed to <a href="http://www.kpmg.com/US/en/IssuesAndInsights/ArticlesPublications/regulatory-practice-letters/Documents/rpl-1013-otc-derivatives.pdf">regulate derivatives trading</a> as such trading was a significant contributor to the financial disaster which struck this country in 2008. Sen. Dianne Feinstein once again proved she has <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2012/05/14/politics/crowley-wall-street/index.html">no interest in reading bills</a> for which she votes.</p>
<blockquote><p>
&#8220;Well, this is a big surprise because this particular bank is well-respected. It is well-led. And so, to have this kind of a loss from hedging activities is a big surprise,&#8221; Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-California, said on &#8220;Fox News Sunday.&#8221; &#8220;I think what it points out that there are no rules of the road for hedging and for derivatives. And this needs to happen.&#8221; </p></blockquote>
<p>She voted for Dodd-Frank and it passed and she <em>still</em> doesn&#8217;t know what&#8217;s in it.</p>
<p>But now we learn why JP Morgan was left alone to fritter this money away.</p>
<p><a href="http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/obama-financial-forms-show-big-jp-morgan-account-213119081.html;_ylt=AvfJaxElb0Hqvj.Oe3jcCAus0NUE;_ylu=X3oDMTNtYmFrNWFkBG1pdANKdW1ib3Ryb24gRlAEcGtnA2E3YjU5NzI5LTQ1ZjQtM2M3Ni1hZGEzLTlkNWI5ODI1ZTdiZgRwb3MDMQRzZWMDanVtYm90cm9uBHZlcgMxNGM5ZTJhNC05ZWU1LTExZTEtYmJiZi1hZGNhOTdiMDJkMGQ-;_ylg=X3oDMTFlamZvM2ZlBGludGwDdXMEbGFuZwNlbi11cwRwc3RhaWQDBHBzdGNhdAMEcHQDc2VjdGlvbnM-;_ylv=3">Obama financial forms show big JP Morgan account</a></p>
<blockquote><p>Maybe it&#8217;s a case of putting your mouth where your money is.</p>
<p>President Barack Obama praised JP Morgan Chase in an interview recorded Monday as &#8220;one of the best managed banks there is&#8221; and its CEO, Jamie Dimon, as &#8220;one of the smartest bankers we got.&#8221; On Tuesday, the White House made public financial disclosure forms showing the president and First Lady Michelle Obama had between $500,001 and $1,000,000 in a &#8220;JP Morgan Chase Private Client Asset Management Checking Account.&#8221;</p>
<p>The annual peek into the Obamas&#8217; finances showed that the president held between $1,000,001 and $5,000,000 in U.S. Treasury Notes, generating between $5,001 and $15,000 in interest. They also held between $500,001-$1,000,000 in Treasury Bills.</p></blockquote>
<p>Beeing Prezeedent <a href="http://content.usatoday.com/communities/theoval/post/2012/05/obama-worth-as-much-as-10-million/1#.T7Ou59VXI3w">bean berry berry good</a> to Obama.</p>
<p><a href="http://floppingaces.net/2012/05/19/why-dodd-frank-left-jp-morgan-unguarded-reader-post/garrett-morris-great-moments-in-sports-hank-aron-020578/" rel="attachment wp-att-80551"><img src="http://floppingaces.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/escuela.jpg" alt="" width="425" height="289" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-80551" /></a></p>
<blockquote><p>He is a wealthy man, with assets of as much as $10 million.</p></blockquote>
<p>A <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/01/30/lobbyists-derivative-regulation_n_1241570.html">Huffington Post article</a> from January has proven to be quite prophetic. See if you can spot the one name that stands out prominently:</p>
<blockquote><p>Wall Street lobbyists are trying hard to weaken the extent to which the government can police a practice that played a central role in the 2008 financial crisis.</p>
<p>Some of the country&#8217;s largest banks &#8212; including Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, <strong>JPMorgan Chase</strong>, Citigroup and Bank of America &#8212; are lobbying Congress to grant regulatory exceptions for derivatives traded outside the U.S. Each of these banks has at least half its assets in overseas operations, according to Bloomberg, meaning that hundreds of millions of dollars&#8217; worth of trading could lie outside the scope of the Dodd-Frank financial reform bill if the lobbyists are successful.</p>
<p>In the years leading up to the financial crisis, the derivatives market was where Wall Street firms shifted their risk around in increasingly complex ways, until nearly everyone with skin in the financial game, from major corporations to ordinary homeowners, was somehow implicated in one deal or another. Derivatives trading has been a source of major profit for Wall Street &#8212; <strong>JPMorgan Chase</strong> reportedly took in $5 billion in 2009, during an otherwise awful year, thanks to its derivatives desk &#8212; but it&#8217;s also a large part of what sent the national economy into a tailspin just a few years ago.</p></blockquote>
<p>Jamie Dimon being an Obama pal likely didn&#8217;t hurt either. </p>
<blockquote><p>Bank lobbyists have also succeeded in getting the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, a major regulator, to repeatedly delay a critical package of derivatives regulations.</p></blockquote>
<p>The GSE&#8217;s remain unreformed and are still too big to fail, and <a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-04-16/obama-bid-to-end-too-big-to-fail-undercut-as-banks-grow.html">as are some banks</a>. See if you can post the prominent name:</p>
<blockquote><p>Two years after President Barack Obama vowed to eliminate the danger of financial institutions becoming “too big to fail,” the nation’s largest banks are bigger than they were before the nation’s credit markets seized up and required unprecedented bailouts by the government.</p>
<p>Five banks &#8212; <strong>JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (JPM)</strong>, Bank of America Corp. (BAC), Citigroup Inc., Wells Fargo &amp; Co. (WFC), and Goldman Sachs Group Inc. &#8212; held $8.5 trillion in assets at the end of 2011, equal to 56 percent of the U.S. economy, according to central bankers at the Federal Reserve. </p></blockquote>
<p>Barack Obama promised to end risky trading. He promised to end &#8220;too big to fail.&#8221; He did neither, unquestionably because these are his money men and because he is a liar.</p>
<p>So if you are planning to vote for him, you are an idiot. </p>

<p>Without a doubt one of the two must underrated sites on the internet is <a href="http://www.intellectualtakeout.org/"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Intellectual Takeout</span></a>. It’s a place where questions are answered filtering out the bias of the political spectrum. I love this site for the challenges it presents to its readers to think beyond themselves and their world view. A few days ago I stumbled upon a gem. It goes a long way into understanding what is bubbling in the belly of the Conservative political gut. It takes on Capitalism as preached by those in power and Capitalism as understood by the conservative/libertarian voter. They are definitely not the same animal.</p>
<p>The article <a href="http://www.intellectualtakeout.org/library/big-business/free-market-capitalism-vs-crony-capitalism"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">“Free Market Capitalism vs. Crony Capitalism”</span></a> explores the difference and may be a look into the problem the Republican Party has in making inroads to Tea Party and Libertarian voters. They instinctively know the difference, while the Republican Party doesn’t seem to be able to acknowledge any difference at all. A quote from the article;</p>
<blockquote><p>Unlike in a free market capitalist system, under crony capitalism it is often more profitable for businesses to spend resources lobbying legislators for handouts in the form of grants, loans, or tax advantages, and protections against competition in order to increase their profits. In turn, the government&#8217;s willingness to hand out special privileges promotes the politically well-connected rather than those who seek to earn the preference of investors and consumers based on merit.</p></blockquote>
<p>The one failure of the article is that it moves forward citing demands by Occupy Wall Street protests as the only ones who understand the difference and are the only ones challenging this status-quo. That could not be further from the truth. The fact is that these people are Johnny Come Lately’s to the fight.</p>
<p>The Tea Party and Libertarians have been fighting Crony Capitalism for at least 3 years now. Some even longer. It’s not that Tea Party/Libertarian leaning people want others to be taxed at a higher rate or be regulated out of existence. It’s the influence of Crony Capitalism on policy and uses of elected officials to gain advantages single voters have no chance of getting that is the difference.

<p>A K Street lobbying firm who has resources bundling millions of dollars for a politicians election and also has members working inside these election campaigns. Some of these people are previous politicians who know the game, the players, and what it takes to get favorable policy passed.</p>
<p>Joe and Jane Doe who give what little they can afford because they believe in the promises of the politician at the time.</p>
<p>To pretend that there is no difference between the two examples is willful ignorance. This difference is what is holding back usually staunch Republicans and Conservatives from giving enthusiastic support to the party’s nominees. Most self-described Tea Party/Libertarians see this as fundamental to the reason why the government is broken, will not be fixed any time soon, and will continue to only get worse until people willing to make substantive change are able to be elected. Crony Capitalism has long ago been pointed out by these people as not a symptom of what ails our government, but its root cause. The promises of the Republican Party of fixing what is broke rings hollow to more and more people of conservative foundations. They are considered just as guilty of using Crony Capitalism as the Democrats party. Democrats use unions; Republicans use special interest lobbying firms. Both addicted to the money both of these entities provide in keeping them in power. Crony Capitalism is as far from Free Market Capitalism as football is to baseball. The only similarity is that they are both games that happen to share the same word.</p>
<p>The Republican Party has tried to condemn anyone who attacks the inbred form of Crony Capitalism they practice as an attack on Free Market Capitalism. They cannot allow there to be a distinction of the two and for years they were able to do so. Until the age of the internet. That has changed everything.</p>
<p>People now have a wealth of information literally at their fingertips. One of the most valuable things that the internet provides is a quick reference to voting histories, donation histories, promises made, and promises not kept. The line between Crony and Free Market Capitalism is not as easy to blur as it once was and is becoming clearer and clearer each election cycle. The history of promises and who gets the attention of politicians is able to plotted and viewed. People are designed to recognize patterns. It’s ingrained into our sub-conscious. It’s a function that we cannot escape or avoid. And patterns are forming. The pattern of Crony Capitalism is forever trending upward and the pattern for Free Market Capitalism is trending in its opposite direction.</p>
<p>Why?</p>
<p>P.S. The other most underrated site on the internet surely is Flopping Aces. I would be a fool to say otherwise for so many reasons.</p>

<p>The NBPP has already put a bounty on the head of George Zimmerman. You have to think that such a &#8220;capture&#8221; would constitute kidnapping but capture is not likely the goal.</p>

<p>Every single time anything goes wrong for Obama he does what he does best.  <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/04/07/white-house-pushing-blame-on-bush-white-house-for-gsa-debacle/?test=latestnews">Blame the other guy</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>The Obama administration is responding to the recent report that shows a federal agency spent more that $800,000 on a lavish conference near Las Vegas by putting some of the blame on the Bush administration.</p>
<p>“At least we have taken, bold, swift forceful action to hold those responsible accountable and put in place protections to make sure  this never happened again,” a White House official told Fox News.</p>
<p>..The administration also argued Friday night that the cost of the Western Regional Conference increased sharply under the Bush White House — from $93,000  in 2004 to $323,855 in 2006 to $655,025 in 2008, then $840,616 in 2010, or just  28 percent under Obama.</p></blockquote>
<p>I&#8217;m sure this excessive spending has been going on for years but that isn&#8217;t the issue now.  The issue is that this instance happened under Obama&#8217;s watch.   It was bad under Bush, it&#8217;s even worse under Obama so do something about it and stop whining about it being the other guy.</p>
<p>This man has never taken responsibility for anything.</p>
<p>Worst President evah!</p>
<p><em><a href="http://macsmind.com/wordpress/2012/04/obama-administration-scapegoat-file-on-gsa-scandal-its-bushs-fault/">Exit quote:</a></em> </p>
<blockquote><p>One thing that Bush did while in office, like him or hate him he took responsibility for the things that happened under his watch. Obama has yet to take responsibility for anything. At this point his legacy as the “Not Me” President is solid as a rock. What a gutless, coreless punk.</p></blockquote>

<p>George Zimmerman has been the victim of what has to be one of the most disgraceful examples of journalistic and government behavior in modern history. Newspapers, networks and talking heads have convicted and hung George Zimmerman without the benefit of the truth. Worst of all, our elected leaders have led the lynch mob. It&#8217;s hard to imagine a greater atrocity than those who have been chosen to represent the people of this country exhibit such gross disregard for the American justice system. George Zimmerman has been maligned, libeled and slandered. Without a doubt attorneys all over are licking their chops and George, when you&#8217;re ready to file the lawsuits, here&#8217;s a suggestion as to where you might want to start.</p>
<p><strong>Michael Nutter, D-Mayor of Philadelphia. </strong></p>
<p>Mayor Mike had <a href="http://articles.philly.com/2012-03-26/news/31240649_1_shooting-death-mayor-nutter-assassination">this</a> to say about Zimmerman:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve called this nothing short of an assassination,&#8221; Nutter said in a nationally televised interview with MSNBC&#8217;s Alex Witt, echoing earlier comments he had made in local television interviews.</p>
<p>&#8220;This individual Zimmerman followed Trayvon for some period of time. Trayvon was not doing anything . . . was not a threat based on all the information and evidence and 911 tapes that have been released,&#8221; Nutter said.</p>
<p>On the recording of a 911 call Zimmerman made before the shooting, he tells the dispatcher a teenager &#8211; who he said looked like &#8220;a real suspicious guy&#8221; &#8211; had started running. The dispatcher asked Zimmerman whether he was following the young man. When he said he was, the dispatcher told Zimmerman not to.</p>
<p>&#8220;Clearly, Zimmerman was told not to continue any kind of pursuit,&#8221; Nutter said on MSNBC. &#8220;In my view . . . he tracked him down. He followed him and then shot and killed him.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Rep. Frederica Wilson (D-Racebaiterville)</strong></p>
<p>Rep. Frederica Wilson said <a href="http://www.breitbart.com/Breitbart-TV/2012/03/28/Rep-Frederica-Wilson-Trayvon-Hunted-Down-Like-Rabid-Dog-Racially-Profiled">this</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Trayvon Was hunted down like a rabid dog. He was shot in the street. He was racially profiled.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Her accusation is quite false. Zimmerman <a href="http://floppingaces.net/2012/04/03/the-martinzimmerman-timeline-reader-post/">mentioned neither race nor clothing</a> until specifically asked.</p>
<p><strong>Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Fruitcake)</strong></p>
<p>Rep. Maxine Waters talked about <a href="http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/218677-rep-waters-stiff-evidence-death-of-trayvon-martin-a-hate-crime-">something being stiff</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;The evidence really points to a fact that you had a gung-ho so-called Neighborhood Watchman who wanted to be a cop, basically, who was following a young black man who was unarmed and had committed no crime,&#8221; Waters said. &#8220;That&#8217;s pretty stiff evidence that this is possibly a hate crime.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Communist)</strong></p>
<p>She called the shooting a <a href="http://www.therightscoop.com/rep-jan-schakowsky-trayvon-martin-killing-a-modern-day-lynching/">&#8220;modern day lynching.&#8221;</a></p>
<p>Schakowsky is a Marxist who<a href="http://www.libertariannews.org/2011/09/16/communist-rep-jan-schakowsky-c-il-declares-you-have-no-right-to-your-own-property/">doesn&#8217;t believe</a> you deserve to own your own property and is married to a <a href="http://rebelpundit.com/2011/11/schakowskys-husband-convicted-felon-robert-creamer-visits-white-house/">felon</a>. </p>
<p><strong>Rep. Hank Johnson (D-Twilight Zone)</strong></p>
<p>Johnson <a href="http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2012/03/27/dem_rep_trayvon_executed_for_walking_while_black_in_a_gated_community.html">said of Martin</a>: </p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;He was executed for &#8216;WWB&#8217; in a &#8216;GC.&#8217; Walking While Black in a Gated Community.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Johnson is the bright light who suggested that overpopulation could cause Guam to capsize:</p>
<p><a href="http://floppingaces.net/2012/04/07/when-youre-ready-to-sue-this-is-where-you-ought-to-start-george/"><em>Click here to view the embedded video.</em></a></p>
<p><strong>Bill Maher (D-espicable)</strong></p>
<p>Maher had <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/03/31/bill-maher-calls-zimmerma_n_1393573.html">this</a> to say about Zimmerman:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Aren&#8217;t we all convinced from that tape that this guy is a big, fat, fucking liar?&#8221; </p></blockquote>
<p>One the excuses the left made for Maher&#8217;s comments disparaging of women was that he was a &#8220;comedian.&#8221; His description of Zimmerman as a <em>&#8220;fat fucking liar&#8221; </em>is certainly hilarious. </p>
<p><strong>That Seasoned Guy from NBC</strong></p>
<p>The &#8220;seasoned&#8221; producer from NBC who <a href="http://www.lesjones.com/2012/03/27/msnbc-dowdifies-a-george-zimmerman-quote-into-newspaper-blackout-poetry/">magically transformed</a> this</p>
<blockquote><p>    ZIMMERMAN: This guy looks like he’s up to no good, or he’s on drugs or something. It’s raining and he’s just walking around, looking about.</p>
<p>    911 DISPATCHER: Okay, is this guy, is he white, black, or Hispanic?</p>
<p>    ZIMMERMAN: He looks black.</p></blockquote>
<p>into this:</p>
<blockquote><p>“This guy looks like he’s up to no good … he looks black,” Zimmerman told a police dispatcher from his car.</p></blockquote>
<p>The guy apparently has been <a href="http://mediadecoder.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/04/06/nbc-fires-producer-of-misleading-zimmerman-tape/">fired</a>, but George deserves to know his identity. And I want to hear Brian Williams apologize.</p>
<p><strong>Barack Obama (Race monger in Chief) </strong></p>
<p>Obama <a href="http://www.politico.com/politico44/2012/03/obama-i-had-a-son-hed-look-like-trayvon-118439.html">said</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;If I had a son, he&#8217;d look like Trayvon.&#8221; </p></blockquote>
<p>When Henry Gates was arrested, Obama immediately said the white cop <a href="http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0709/Obama_Cambridge_police_acted_stupidly.html">&#8220;acted stupidly.&#8221;</a> </p>
<p>When Muslim Nidal Hasan murdered 13 people at Fort Hood, Obama <a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/2100-201_162-5551286.html">said</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;We don&#8217;t know all the answers yet. And I would caution against jumping to conclusions until we have all the facts.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Notice a pattern? He&#8217;s mighty quick to defend some but when it comes to the &#8220;white Hispanic&#8221;, not so much.</p>
<p><strong>Rep. Bobby Rush (D-Black Panthers) </strong></p>
<p>Rush <a href="http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2012/03/politicians-whove-worn-hoodies-to-protest-the-trayvon-martin-shooting/255174/">wore a hoodie </a>in the halls of Congress as an expression of solidarity with Trayvon Martin, as though the hoodie had anything to do with anything. </p>
<p>In a crass and cynical move, Barack Obama exploits the death of Trayvon Martin in <a href="http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/daily/2012/03/27/tasteless_obama_2012_sells_hoodies_to_exploit_death_of_trayvon_martin">selling hoodies</a> as a means of raising campaign funds.</p>
<p><center><a href="http://floppingaces.net/2012/04/07/when-youre-ready-to-sue-this-is-where-you-ought-to-start-george/obama-hoodie-1/" rel="attachment wp-att-79231"><img src="http://floppingaces.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Obama-hoodie-1.jpg" alt="" width="450" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-79231" /></a></center></p>
<p>And we can&#8217;t let this go without mentioning <a href="http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2012/03/30/scarborough_the_right_is_politicizing_trayvon_martins_death.html">what a jerk Joe Scarborough has become</a>. With all the above going on, what did Scarborough say? It&#8217;s the right politicizing the death of Trayvon Martin.</p>
<p>Well, there you are George. I am sure there are more to add to the list, but this is a good place to begin.</p>

<p>Al Sharpton once <a href="http://michellemalkin.com/2009/10/19/yes-lets-talk-about-al-sharptons-racial-demagoguery-shall-we/">said </a>of Rush Limbaugh:</p>
<blockquote><p>“He doesn’t have the right to lie and accuse people of crimes”</p></blockquote>
<p>But apparently Sharpton does have that right.</p>
<p>The professional race baiting hate monger Sharpton is once again running his mouth at full throttle. He has promised civil disobedience if he doesn&#8217;t get what he wants and what he really wants is to lynch George Zimmerman. </p>
<blockquote><p>If George Zimmerman is not arrested in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin soon, theRev. Al Sharpton will call for an escalation in peaceful civil disobedience and economic sanctions.</p>
<p>Sharpton would not say the efforts would be taken against the city of Sanford specifically, but he has been critical of the police department&#8217;s handling of the case.</p>
<p>Saturday&#8217;s scheduled 11 a.m. march from Crooms Academy of Information Technology to the Sanford Police Department headquarters was organized by National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Coordinators said people will be bused in from other states to participate.</p>
<p>The civil rights activist and syndicated television show host said he will elaborate on this plan Saturday.</p>
<p>&#8220;I will speak about how the National Action Network will move to the next level if Zimmerman isn&#8217;t arrested,&#8221; Sharpton said, who founded the organization. He added that it was the Martin family and lawyers who first asked him to get involved and nationalize this story.</p></blockquote>
<p>And he won&#8217;t be alone</p>
<blockquote><p>The Rev. Jesse Jackson is also expected to participate in the event.</p></blockquote>
<p>Sharpton doesn&#8217;t believe certain people have the right to self-defense:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Whether he [Zimmerman] had a swollen or broken nose, neither one means he had to take a 9mm and kill someone,&#8221; he said. &#8220;It&#8217;s not about saying Zimmerman is innocent or guilty, this is about whether there was probable cause to arrest him.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Sanford Police Chief Bill Lee <a href="http://mysanfordherald.com/view/full_story/17920337/article-Chief-Bill-Lee-answers-questions-about-investigation-into-shooting-of-17-year-old-Trayvon-Martin?">did explain</a> why Zimmerman wasn&#8217;t held:</p>
<blockquote><p>Q. Why was George Zimmerman was not arrested the night of the shooting?</p>
<p>A. When the Sanford Police Department arrived at the scene of the incident, Mr. Zimmerman provided a statement claiming he acted in self-defense, which at the time was supported by physical evidence and testimony. By Florida Statute, law enforcement was prohibited from making an arrest based on the facts and circumstances they had at the time.</p>
<p>Additionally, when any police officer makes an arrest for any reason, the officer must swear and affirm that he/she is making the arrest in good faith and with probable cause. If the arrest is done maliciously and in bad faith, the officer and the city may be held liable.</p>
<p>According to Florida Statute 776.032 :</p>
<p>Immunity from criminal prosecution and civil action for justifiable use of force.— 776.032</p>
<p>A person who uses force as permitted in s. (1) 776.012, s. 776.013, or s. 776.031 is justified in using such force and is immune from criminal prosecution and civil action for the use of such force, unless the person against whom force was used is a law enforcement officer, as defined in s. 943.10(14), who was acting in the performance of his or her official duties and the officer identified himself or herself in accordance with any applicable law or the person using force knew or reasonably should have known that the person was a law enforcement officer. As used in this subsection, the term “criminal prosecution” includes arresting, detaining in custody, and charging or prosecuting the defendant.</p>
<p>A law enforcement agency may use standard procedures for investigating the use of force as described in subsection (1), but the agency may not arrest the person for using force unless it determines that there is probable cause that the force that was used was unlawful. (2)
</p></blockquote>
<p>Further, Zimmerman was within his rights to follow Martin</p>
<blockquote><p>Q. Why did Mr. Zimmerman have a firearm in his possession while acting in the role of a neighborhood watch member?</p>
<p>A. Mr. Zimmerman holds a concealed weapon permit issued from the State of Florida. He is authorized to carry the weapon in a concealed manner wherever Florida Statute dictates.</p>
<p><strong>Neighborhood Watch programs are designed for members of a neighborhood to be “eyes and ears” for police and to watch out for their neighbors. They are not members of the police department nor are they vigilantes.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Training provided by law enforcement agencies to Neighborhood Watch organizations stresses non-contact surveillance of suspicious situations, and notifying police of those situations so that law enforcement can respond and take control of the situation.</strong></p>
<p>Mr. Zimmerman was not acting outside the legal boundaries of Florida Statute by carrying his weapon when this incident occurred. He was in fact on a personal errand in his vehicle when he observed Mr. Martin in the community and called the Sanford Police Department.</p></blockquote>
<p>Al Sharpton has no use for either the facts or the truth, and he has a history of people dying in his wake. Jeff Jacoby once called Sharpton <a href="http://www.jeffjacoby.com/633/al-sharpton-the-democrats-david-duke">&#8220;The Democrats&#8217; David Duke&#8221;</a>:</p>
<p><a href="http://floppingaces.net/2012/03/31/who-dies-next-because-of-al-sharpton-reader-post/tawana1/" rel="attachment wp-att-78991"><img src="http://floppingaces.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/tawana1.jpg" alt="" width="563" height="741" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-78991" /></a></p>
<blockquote><p>1987: Sharpton spreads the incendiary Tawana Brawley hoax, insisting heatedly that a 15-year-old black girl was abducted, raped, and smeared with feces by a group of white men. He singles out Steve Pagones, a young prosecutor. Pagones is wholly innocent &#8212; the crime never occurred &#8212; but Sharpton taunts him: &#8220;If we&#8217;re lying, sue us, so we can . . . prove you did it.&#8221; Pagones does sue, and eventually wins a $345,000 verdict for defamation. To this day, Sharpton refuses to recant his unspeakable slander or to apologize for his role in the odious affair.</p>
<p>1991: A Hasidic Jewish driver in Brooklyn&#8217;s Crown Heights section accidentally kills Gavin Cato, a 7-year-old black child, and antisemitic riots erupt. Sharpton races to pour gasoline on the fire. At Gavin&#8217;s funeral he rails against the &#8220;diamond merchants&#8221; &#8212; code for Jews &#8212; with &#8220;the blood of innocent babies&#8221; on their hands. He mobilizes hundreds of demonstrators to march through the Jewish neighborhood, chanting, &#8220;No justice, no peace.&#8221; A rabbinical student, Yankel Rosenbaum, is surrounded by a mob shouting &#8220;Kill the Jews!&#8221; and stabbed to death.</p>
<p>1995: When the United House of Prayer, a large black landlord in Harlem, raises the rent on Freddy&#8217;s Fashion Mart, Freddy&#8217;s white Jewish owner is forced to raise the rent on his subtenant, a black-owned music store. A landlord-tenant dispute ensues; Sharpton uses it to incite racial hatred. &#8220;We will not stand by,&#8221; he warns malignantly, &#8220;and allow them to move this brother so that some white interloper can expand his business.&#8221; Sharpton&#8217;s National Action Network sets up picket lines; customers going into Freddy&#8217;s are spat on and cursed as &#8220;traitors&#8221; and &#8220;Uncle Toms.&#8221; Some protesters shout, &#8220;Burn down the Jew store!&#8221; and simulate striking a match. &#8220;We&#8217;re going to see that this cracker suffers,&#8221; says Sharpton&#8217;s colleague Morris Powell. On Dec. 8, one of the protesters bursts into Freddy&#8217;s, shoots four employees point-blank, then sets the store on fire. Seven employees die in the inferno.</p>
<p>If Sharpton were a white skinhead, he would be a political leper, spurned everywhere but the fringe. But far from being spurned, he is shown much deference. Democrats embrace him. Politicians court him. And journalists report on his comings and goings while politely sidestepping his career as a hatemongering racial hustler.</p>
<p>When Sharpton came to Boston to promote his campaign last week, for example, the news coverage was uniformly upbeat. The Boston Herald noted the &#8220;joyous singing and thunderous applause&#8221; that greeted the &#8220;civil rights leader,&#8221; whose &#8220;energetic visit left many enthusiastic about his presidential bid.&#8221; The Globe announced the arrival of &#8220;the colorful and controversial 48-year-old community activist&#8221; with a story listing the places and times of his public appearances. The only allusion to his ugly record was a vague quote from a local minister: &#8220;He obviously has a lot of history and controversy to overcome.&#8221; That was quickly countered by Sharpton&#8217;s own self-description as a man known &#8220;for my fights against racial profiling and discrimination.&#8221;</p>
<p>Well, that isn&#8217;t what Steve Pagones or the family of Yankel Rosenbaum or the loved ones of those who were burned alive at Freddy&#8217;s Fashion Mart know him for. As they can testify, Sharpton is a vicious liar and a dangerous bigot. As a matter of moral hygiene, his party and the press should be able to say so, too.</p></blockquote>
<p>This vile man is continually rewarded for his malevolent behavior. Here Barack Obama embraces Sharpton </p>
<p><a href="http://floppingaces.net/2012/03/31/who-dies-next-because-of-al-sharpton-reader-post/sharpton-and-obama/" rel="attachment wp-att-78993"><img src="http://floppingaces.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/sharpton-and-obama.jpeg" alt="" width="600" height="340" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-78993" /></a></p>
<p>and MSNBC even gives him his own show.</p>
<p><a href="http://floppingaces.net/2012/03/31/who-dies-next-because-of-al-sharpton-reader-post/"><em>Click here to view the embedded video.</em></a></p>
<p>Howard Kurtz has noted the peculiarity of Sharpton <a href="http://madmikesamerica.com/2012/03/cnns-kurtz-calls-out-msnbcs-al-sharpton-for-conflict-of-interest/">covering himself</a> on his show</p>
<blockquote><p>Then Kurtz turned specifically to how Sharpton has been covering the case, describing him as a “major African-American activist in this country.” Kurtz played a series of clips showing Sharpton speaking at the Trayvon Martin rally in Florida, then filming his show near the site of the rally, then speaking again at the rally, effortlessly switching between activist and TV host. Kurtz said that Sharpton was asking people to donate money to the cause, and even went down to the Justice Department with the Martins.</p>
<p>Lauren Ashburn struggled to figure out why Sharpton was allowed to, essentially, cover himself on his own show. She did add that Sharpton has never pretended to be a journalist, and MSNBC knew what they were getting when they hired him as a personality, but Kurtz still thought something smelled rotten at MSNBC.</p>
<p>“It seems to me MSNBC can say, ‘Okay, this is such an important case you can go and be an activist and you won’t do your show on the subject. Or you can do your show on the subject but don’t be standing with the parents at the rally and accompanying them to the Justice Department.’”</p>
<p>Eric Deggans, a media critic for the Tampa Bay Times, said he’s always been concerned with Sharpton’s role at the network, and this particular situation makes things difficult because MSNBC has an obligation to cover the story because it’s news. So having one of their hosts injecting themselves into the story is a problem. Deggans also brought up Zimmerman, and whether he could feel like he could get a fair shake from NBC News or MSNBC if he went on for interviews.
</p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://floppingaces.net/2012/03/31/who-dies-next-because-of-al-sharpton-reader-post/lean-forward-msnbc/" rel="attachment wp-att-78994"><img src="http://floppingaces.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/lean-forward-msnbc.jpg" alt="" width="336" height="400" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-78994" /></a></p>
<p>For all barbs it throws at Fox, MSNBC is the truly <a href="http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2012/03/msnbc-the-faux-news-network.php">phony news network</a>.</p>
<blockquote><p>Liberals have been feverishly attacking Fox News for years now, irate that the Left’s monopoly on television news outlets has been broken. Conservatives, on the other hand, have tended to ignore MSNBC, even though that network is far more partisan, and less reliable, than Fox. Perhaps this is because of a perception that hardly anyone watches MSNBC. It is true, of course, that that network’s ratings are nowhere near Fox’s, but still, close to a million people watch the most popular MSNBC shows. That is far too many for a network that is not only ridiculously partisan, but spews hate on a regular basis.</p></blockquote>
<p>So it is not surprising that it would offer a execrable miscreant like Sharpton his own show.</p>
<p>Gratefully, there are <a href="http://www.clickorlando.com/news/Civil-rights-leaders-condemn-Sharpton-s-call-for-escalated-civil-disobedience/-/1637132/9863196/-/owq31pz/-/index.html">cooler heads</a>.</p>
<blockquote><p>Turner Clayton, the Seminole County chapter president of the NAACP, reacted immediately to Sharpton&#8217;s warning, saying, &#8220;We hope that the citizens of Sanford will govern themselves accordingly. We are not calling for any sanctions, against any business or anyone else. And, of course, what Rev. Sharpton does, that&#8217;s strictly the [National] Action Network.  We can&#8217;t condone that part of the conversation, if that&#8217;s what he said.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>If it wasn&#8217;t for hate, there would be no Al Sharpton and it&#8217;s unfortunate that so many continue to follow him. Despite all the deaths that he has caused, he has never been held accountable for any of them. If anyone demands arrest, it&#8217;s Sharpton.</p>
<p>He doesn’t have the right to lie and accuse people of crimes.</p>

<p>Black Teenager Shawn Tyson found two White British tourists walking drunk through the wrong neighborhood, stripped them of their clothes, forced them to their knees, and had them beg for their lives before shooting them repeatedly.</p>
<p>Although their families have asked our president to respond to this senseless crime of wanton violence in three different letters, he has ignored their pleas and has focused on the Martin shooting; presumably, to gain political traction in the upcoming election, since the Martin shooting fits the template of Blacks being victims rather than killers.</p>
<p><center><a href="http://floppingaces.net/2012/03/30/black-teenage-homicidal-maniac-gets-life-for-killing-british-tourists-the-families-ask-obama-why-he-ignores-them/pic-from-their-spring-break-holiday-in-2009/" rel="attachment wp-att-78967"><img src="http://floppingaces.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/article-1377840-0BAE405800000578-259_634x489-300x231.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="231" /></a></center></p>
<p>The two best friends were on a holiday from Britain and failed to realize the danger of Whites walking in a Black neighborhood.  Thus they paid for their mistake after a night of drinking with their lives.  Their valuables were left at the scene and we can only assume that Tyson killed them for the sadistic joy of committing murder and mayhem.</p>
<p>The parents of these young men and the people of Britain are asking why this post racial president is only concerned with the shooting death of a Black youth, but not the senseless killing of Whites by a Black youth.  The president could have a son that resembles Shawn Tyson, the world is waiting for him to embrace this misguided homicidal maniac like he embraced the young Martin.  Then maybe he could enlighten the world on this senseless violence based on race. </p>

<p>It&#8217;s too bad Tyson has sacrificed so much and yet, it is of dubious political value for Obama and his reelection, but one thing is for sure, the families of James Cooper (left) and James Kouzaris (right) are becoming a presidential embarrassment and they don&#8217;t realize what a tough election this is going to be.  The Russians are willing to be patient so that Obama can talk tough about defense and then sell out the American people and their defense systems, but these damn Brits worrying over the deaths of their loved ones are going to hurt him in the polls, don&#8217;t they realize, he is limited in what he can say.  His Department of Injustice is not programed to worry over injustice to Whites: they are in office to reverse the effects of Critical Race Theory.  Otherwise the New Black Panther Party could not put a price on a man&#8217;s head in a form of vigilante justice.  Come on people, this is the Age of Obama, learn to accept inequality under the law, The Law of Obama.</p>

The Paternal Instinct Of A Father</p>
<p>Apparently, he is worried about his daughters and the world they will live in as adults.  I am sure he will want them to be Elites in the Marxist Utopian dreams he has envisioned, it is so much better than that dreadful poverty the rest of us will be trapped in, but one thing for sure, he will want them to be respected by men and the public.  The thought of public disrespect directed towards them or women in general, is too horrible to think about.  That is why he has called Ms Fluke, the woman who attends an expensive Jesuit law school, but can&#8217;t afford or can&#8217;t date someone with enough sense to afford contraception.  </p>
<p>But life has some harsh realities. Ms Fluke the political activist, might think back to the Madam of the local whore house telling the hormone enraged teenage boy, &#8220;If you want to play, Sweetie, you must pay.&#8221;  She could have told him to take a cold shower or to put a rubber band around it, but she offered sage advice to a young boy on the threshold of manhood, very useful advice.  Perhaps the same advice President Obama should be giving his daughters if he wasn&#8217;t a Marxist; for it would be much more likely to help them and prepare them for the future, than the Marxist refrain, the government provides so don&#8217;t sweat it.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, Progressive Marxists are quick to disrespect women, a habit that will come back to haunt them in a few months; since Obama, and other self-righteous Progressive Marxists find it perfectly acceptable to have a comedienne stand up and talk about Palin showing up at the Republican convention in this manner, &#8220;holding a baby that just came out of her f*cking disgusting c*nt, her f*cking retard-making c*nt.&#8221;  Now some of us might take exception to the language; especially, since Obama seems to think that the mentally handicapped are fair game for humor.  I suppose that is part of the Leftist perversions that are generally considered acceptable among the loyal; in essence, being mean spirited to those who can&#8217;t fend for themselves.  One of the most notable Socialists, Adolf Hitler had a special mean interest in these &#8220;Retards&#8221; as well; except, he took meanness toward &#8220;Retards&#8221; one step farther.</p>
<p>There are others who might take offense at the vulgar language this Leftist comedienne used to degrade all women, since to use the expressions in referring to a political opponent, with official impunity, makes it acceptable for all Progressive Marxists to degrade women: but on the flip side, it also becomes acceptable to refer to Michelle and her daughters using the same language; after all, didn&#8217;t Obama give it his tacit approval by not condemning this sewer language from two of his loyal Hollywood supporters, Louis C.K. the nimble mind who came up with the quote in the previous paragraph and Bill Maher, who called Palin a f*cking c*nt and a tw*t.  As a standing rule, I never use such foul language, nor do I allow it to be used in my company.  If I hate someone that much, we can step into the ring.  But these gutter rats find it cute and a way to build a fan base, and our president doesn&#8217;t mind in the least; especially, since Maher gave him a million dollars.  However, there are two major problems, that become patently obvious as a result of this classless public discourse: first is the complete lack of class among the Progressive Marxists who listen to these degenerates, second is the classless president who condones this vile tasteless behavior, so reminiscent of the squalor and degeneracy of the lowest constituencies he represents.  He has now brought the language of the ghetto to the highest levels of political discourse.  Oh, but why take offense, he is the one who has approved this new level of discourse by not condemning the language of his loyal supporters.</p>
<p>In the past, I would have stood up for the president and his family, not because I like them, but because I once had respect for the office; however,  if someone wants to refer to Michelle and her reproductive parts being in some foul condition, have at it.  You won&#8217;t get a fist up side your head from me.  No sir, our president likes and approves of that kind of gutter talk, he is obviously capable of dealing with it, so do your worst; all you will get from me is a smile.  President Obama has set the standard and the standard is in the sewers.  </p>

<p><a href="http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/green-firms-fed-cash-give-execs-bonuses-fail/story?id=15851653#.T1_m0fWjmSo">ABC News</a> explains Barack Obama&#8217;s green energy programs: </p>
<blockquote><p>President Obama&#8217;s Department of Energy helped finance several green energy companies that later fell into bankruptcy &#8212; but not before the firms doled out six-figure bonuses and payouts to top executives, a Center for Public Integrity and ABC News investigation found.</p>
<p>Take, for instance, Beacon Power Corp., the second recipient of an Energy Department loan guarantee in 2009. In March 2010, the Massachusetts energy storage company paid cash bonuses of $259,285 to three executives in part due to progress made on the $43 million energy loan, Securities and Exchange Commission records show. Last October, Beacon Power filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.</p>
<p>EnerDel, maker of lithium-ion battery systems, landed a $118.5 million energy grant in August 2009. About one-and-a-half years later, Vice President Joe Biden toured a company plant in Indiana and heralded its taxpayer-supported expansion as one of the &#8220;100 Recovery Act Projects That Are Changing America.&#8221;</p>
<p>Two months after Biden&#8217;s visit, EnerDel corporate parent Ener1 paid $725,000 in bonuses to three executives &#8212; including $450,000 to then-CEO Charles Gassenheimer, who led Biden on the tour. This January, Ener1 filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. </p>
<p>At least two other firms that benefited from Energy Department funding &#8212; one a $500,000 grant, the other a $535 million loan guarantee &#8212; handed out hefty payouts to executives and later went bankrupt. </p></blockquote>
<p>The Department of <del datetime="2012-03-14T00:31:42+00:00">Handing Money to Obama donors</del> Energy says it&#8217;s &#8220;troubled&#8221; by these practices:</p>
<blockquote><p>
&#8220;We don&#8217;t begrudge companies or their executives for their success, but it is irresponsible for executives to be awarded bonus compensation when their workers are losing their jobs,&#8221; said department spokeswoman Jen Stutsman. &#8220;We take our role as stewards of taxpayer dollars very seriously, and as such, we will make clear to loan recipients our view that funds should not be directed toward executive bonuses when the rest of the company is facing financial difficulty.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>So the process is comprised of several steps:</p>
<p>1. Hand out money, <a href="http://nation.foxnews.com/president-obama/2011/11/14/80-green-energy-loans-went-obama-donors">80% going to Obama donors</a>.<br />
2. Big bonuses and payouts to executives<br />
3. Go bankrupt.</p>
<p><center><a href="http://floppingaces.net/2012/03/15/obamas-green-energy-stimulus-process-explained-reader-post/dollar-bill-toilet-paper/" rel="attachment wp-att-78458"><img src="http://floppingaces.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/dollar-bill-toilet-paper.jpg" alt="" width="400" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-78458" /></a></center></p>
<p>And there is one more step</p>
<p>4. In liquidation, <a href="http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/280161/solyndra-loan-doe-memo-defends-decision-put-private-investors-ahead-taxpayers-andrew-s">make sure Obama donors are paid before the US taxpayer</a>.</p>
<p>The list of Obama green energy failures is long</p>
<p><center><iframe src="http://videos.mediaite.com/embed/player/?content=SC63FF271G40Y6S6&#038;content_type=content_item&#038;layout=&#038;playlist_cid=&#038;media_type=video&#038;widget_type_cid=svp&#038;read_more=1" width="420" height="421" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" allowtransparency="true"></iframe></center></p>
<p>And the best news is that Obama promises to <a href="http://cnsnews.com/news/article/obama-vows-double-down-green-investments-despite-solyndra-and-volt-flop">double down</a> on those failures.</p>
<blockquote><p>
A century of subsidies to the oil companies is long enough,” Obama  said. “It’s time to end taxpayer giveaways to an industry that’s never  been more profitable, and double-down on a clean energy industry that’s  never been more promising.</p></blockquote>
<p>BTW, heard about <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/fisker-karma-dies-road-test/story?id=15885837#.T1_0EfWjmSo">Fisker</a>?</p>
<p><a href="http://floppingaces.net/2012/03/15/obamas-green-energy-stimulus-process-explained-reader-post/fisker-tpc/" rel="attachment wp-att-78459"><img src="http://floppingaces.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/fisker-tpc.jpg" alt="" width="590" height="498" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-78459" /></a></p>
<p>At least we have the Justice Department to monitor abusive bonus practices at bankrupt companies. <a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702303717304577279602127334044.html?mod=djemalertNEWS">Right?</a></p>
<blockquote><p>The Justice Department said it doesn’t closely track how it is enforcing a law curbing executive pay in corporate bankruptcy cases. The disclosure, made in a letter to key lawmakers, comes amid criticism of such payouts in courts and on Capitol Hill. The Justice Department—whose U.S. trustees monitor bankruptcy proceedings—doesn’t have precise data on executive-pay plans reviewed since an overhaul of federal bankruptcy law, according to the March 5 letter.</p></blockquote>
<p>Coincidence, I&#8217;m sure.</p>
