Arizona Repugnant: "Obama Urges Boehner To Hold Vote To Reopen Government" not "Obama refuses to negotiate"

Or "Both sides at a stalemate," or anything remotely objective.

They must have changed the title after they looked in a mirror and saw that their bias was showing. Here's a reference to the original article in the Phoenix City and Press:

And here's the article with the changed title, which now reads  "Obama says talks OK - after default threat averted"

The SAD...I mean the AD Council

AM radio listeners to talk radio are bombarded nowadays by useless sound bytes from the AD council. Do they ever make people stop smoking, stop drunk driving, appreciate FEMA, or do any of the other 'Public Services' that they supposedly provide with Public Service messages? And who the hell is the AD Council?

According to Wikipedia the Ad Council is a non-profit that handles public service announcements, and some people complain that it is little more than a "domestic propaganda arm of the federal government." Most of the Ad council's ads are purchased by the feds, to the tune of hundreds of millions a year. The ads are played for random audiences, have little effect, and the CEO makes almost $900k a year.

From you, the taxpayer.

That's one CEO making a tidy little profit, for a non-profit.

This is completely indefensible for messages that no one listens to. Typical Socialist BS. I challenge any one to give me an example of where these million dollar campaigns made the slightest blip in the road on fighting their propaganda road.

Arizona Repugnant Reveal Socialist Reader Percentage

The Republic is at it again, chastising Gilbert Arizona for rejecting US funding for programs aimed at low-income residents. Why would they reject this money? Probably because it encourages a dependent demographic to come there and stay. When I lived there six years ago, the north part of Gilbert, the part that borders Mesa was rapidly going ghetto. There was a really nice shopping center up the street with a theater and several high end chain restaurants that I hung out at, but it was quickly going down hill, like the Fiesta Mall before it. Fiesta Mall was a beautiful mall when they opened it twenty years ago in southern Mesa, but it quickly went ghetto after the 90s.

When the Federal Block Grant people moved in.

On the side bar of the Repugnant Article, they asked,"Should Gilbert turn down federal funding for programs aimed at low-income residents, to avoid adding to the U.S. deficit?"

Only 33% said that would make the problem worse.

51% said turning down aid for the part is cruel.

16% said it depends on the kind of aid.


I don't count myself as a reader by the way, but it does fill my heart with joy to point out their slant. At the end of the article they have the obligatory socialist comment about how Gilbert supports business but can't help the poor. The Socialist idiot quoted said this,

“If they’re not going to accept the community grant funds, that’s really ridiculous. These guys have a set mind because a lot of them are “tea party”-type people that don’t want any government at all, practically,” said Chester Cesolini, 70, a frequent user of the center who helps plan social activities there.

“We’ve grown in 250 years of being the United States of America, and I’m sure if the Founding Fathers were here today and looked over things, they’ll probably say the same things,” he said. “Things are different now. You don’t have open land where somebody can say, ‘I’m broke, I’m poor, I can move to this area here and start a farm with no cost at all.’ Those things can’t happen anymore.
“When the town can spend sales-tax dollars for some company to build their store on Power Road and give them huge tax breaks, but they can’t spend a few bucks on the people who’ve lived here most of their lives and are now retired, on fixed incomes, there’s something wrong with that,” Cesolini added.


If the founding fathers, who started this country because of a tax that was less than 5% knew half of its residents were being taxed at rates up to 40% in some states and the other half wasn't taxed at all I think they would be pretty pissed. I know I am.

Here's a clip from the new series Sleepy Hollow on Fox, talking about how the founding fathers would see these new taxes, and a Democrat standing telling Ichibod Crane that if he complains about taxes again, he would be "Sent back to the Asylum." Eerily like what's going on now, doncha think?










The Imperial Staff has been sent home...how long before Obama caves on shutdown?

The New York Slimes is reporting that the imperial President known as Obama has lost a lot of his White House staff:

http://www.nytimes.com/2013/10/04/us/politics/furloughs-alter-routines-for-presidents-staff.html?ref=todayspaper&_r=0

That's it boys and girls, as soon as Obama calls down to the kitchen for an outlawed cheeseburger and gets an empty phone line, the phone on Boehner's desk is going to start ringing off the hook. If there's one thing we've learned about this President is he's all about the perks of office. He's not too fond of the working part, but he lovin' da perks baby! Gimme mah Air Force one trip to Hawaii Uncle Sugah!

Sins of Omission, the Mainstream Media and Government Shutdown 'Facts'

The Washington Compost blogger site Wonkette, (you remember them, they're the ones that ridiculed Sarah Palin's special needs son) gave us some 'facts' about the government shutdown:


http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2013/09/30/absolutely-everything-you-need-to-know-about-how-the-government-shutdown-will-work/


Although titled 'Absolutely everything you need to know about how the government shutdown will work' they missed a few things:

1) Obama put extra effort in shutting down the National Parks, to make the shutdown seem worse than it is and to petulantly punish his 'ponents. The parks weren't closed in previous shutdowns.

http://dailycaller.com/2013/10/02/monuments-and-memorials-remained-open-during-previous-shutdown/

2) We wouldn't even have a shutdown, if Harry Reid could pass a budget. Harry Reid's completely dysfunctional senate has not passed a budget in four years, even when they had control of the House also. So they have to pass these continuing resolutions and debt limit raises to fund their out-of-control spending. Wonkette does mention the continuing resolution, but conveniently forgets the reason for why we need it.

CNN doesn't even mention it's a continuing resolution:

http://www.cnn.com/2013/09/30/politics/government-shutdown-up-to-speed/index.html

Of course, non of the other Socialist News Agencies do either. It's a little fact that they'd would like us not to  remember.

Arizona Repugnant ignores Democrat vandals trashing Schweikert's Office vandalized, yet still finds time to trash him

According to Sonoran Alliance, Arizona Rep David Schweikert's office was vandalized yesterday by MoveOn and other Democrat goons:

http://sonoranalliance.com/2013/10/01/arizona-democrats-obama-supporters-trash-office-of-congressman-david-schweikert/

Of course the Democrat talking points bulletin we have for a newspaper here doesn't report it, but manages to trash Schweikert in a camouflaged hit piece on Republicans:

http://www.azcentral.com/news/politics/articles/20131001arizonans-not-pressing-delegation-shutdown.html

What would have shocked me is if the Repugnant had done their job and told the story of my wife's premiums jumping over 70% after Obamacare was passed, and all the other working people in Arizona.

Government Shutdown...oddly enough, Democrat controlled media blames Republicans

And even more oddly, the sun came up this morning, my coffeemaker worked, and we have internet service. So, maybe it wasn't as bad as they all said it would be.

Can you say, sequestration? Of course, you wouldn't know sequestration had little to no impact according to the academically controlled Wikipedia page. Apparently a lot of them lost their research funding on why cows prefer shade and women studies on why men won't commit anymore.

Here's Brit Hume explaining how the media is handling the blame game:
