One summer, my little girl asked me if we were poor.
I said, “Of course not. Why do you ask?”
She answered, “We don’t have a pool.”
I subscribed to Maryknoll magazine and nobody ever asked me again if we were poor.

Are we poor?
The DNC is broke
As Obama Democrats frantically spew “Republicans are evil” out their lying liar holes, the party truly at fault for our nation’s ills is … wait for it … swimming in debt.
The fund-raising arm of the Dem Party — the Democratic National Committee or DNC – still owes $18.1 million to various vendors and suppliers for the 2012 election season.
Its GOP counterpart – the Republican National Committee or RNC – has $12.5 million saved up for the next campaign cycle.
The Bible says, “By their fruits ye shall know them.”

Democrat: The Party of the Haves and the Have Nots
Meanwhile, the First Family have left the White House for yet another multi-million dollar vacay, cuz apparently the $100 million they blew earlier this summer on their African safari was just not enough Conspicuous Consumption to satisfy their ginormous appetites.
The White House is still closed to tourists and numerous peons who work for the government have been furloughed … supposedly because we’re just so broke and have to tighten our belts and all that. But somehow there was money enough to fly the First Dog to Martha’s Vineyard separately from the First Family.
Iowahawk suggested Bo should ride on the press plan with the rest of Obama’s pets. That about sums it all up, doesn’t it?

Socialist Death Spiral
As Maggie Thatcher famously opined,
“The trouble with Socialism is that eventually you run out of other people’s money.”
These 11 States now have more people on welfare than they do employed.
Last month, the Senate Budget Committee reports that in fiscal year 2011, between food stamps, housing support, child care, Medicaid and other benefits, the average U.S. household below the poverty line received $168.00 a day in government support. What’s the problem with that much support? Well, the median household income in America is just over $50,000, which averages out to $137.13 a day. To put it another way, being on welfare now pays the equivalent of $30.00 an hour for a 40-hour week, while the average job pays $25.00 an hour.

November 19 — Signs of our sick society
San Francisco lawmakers will vote on an ordinance that would prohibit nudity in most public places. The proposed ordinance includes exemptions for participants at permitted street fairs and parades, such as the city’s annual gay pride event and the Folsom Street Fair, which celebrates sadomasochism and other sexual subcultures.

The people of rural Nevada’s Storey County elected Lance Gilman commissioner by a wide margin. Gilman owns the Mustang Ranch brothel. He is the first such owner to win election to public office in Nevada since prostitution was legalized there in 1971.

ObamaCare was supposed to make health care more affordable. Tell that to those who have been benefiting from FSA and HSA options. Thanks to ObamaCare, Flex Spending Accounts will be capped in 2013 at $2500. ObamaCare has already imposed an increased penalty for Health Savings Accounts withdrawal and disallowed purchase of health-related products without a prescription. ObamaCare is also requiring a tax on all health-related devices, thus increasing the cost of not just specialty, prescription devices, but also common over-the-counter products like tampons and band-aids.

ObamaCare was also supposed to make health care more available. But because of its numerous regulations and restrictions, half of all doctors practicing now plan to cut back on hours, see fewer patients, or retire altogether. You can also expect the brainiest and greediest young people to give the expense and hard work of med school a pass in favor of entering those New World Order Left-Wing Lucrative professions where they can still use their talents to score the big bucks. Like crony politics.

Michael Moore, MoveOn.org Create Most Offensive Campaign Ad Ever
WARNING: CRUDE LANGUAGE
From Robert Laurie at caintv.com:
Michael Moore and MoveOn.org have teamed up to create the most base, unpleasant campaign ad ever. Featuring a host of foul-mouthed elderly voters, the spot threatens violence against both Mitt Romney and the country as a whole.
“I want the Republican Party to know – if your voter suppression throughout this beautiful country enables Mitt Romney to oust Barack Obama? WE WILL BURN THIS MOTHERFUCKER DOWN.”
Yup, that’s an actual line from an honest to goodness political ad, offered by America’s premiere hack propagandist and everyone’s favorite radical leftist political action Committee. MoveOn, of course, is funded by a host of the world’s most prominent socialist activists, most famously George Soros.
The ad continues it violent rhetoric, with a threat that, “If the Republicans steal this election, I’m going to track down Mitt Romney and give him the world’s biggest cock punch. What’s the matter sonny, you never heard that phrase? Cock Punch?”
You can read the rest of the article here if you have the stomach for it.
Here is the ad. Watch at your own risk.
Meanwhile, back in Chicago, some of Barack’s homies are feeling a little disillusioned.

And in Colorado, here are some folks who really did build their own business. Now it’s gone. Guess who destroyed it?

Beyoncé’s net worth is $300 Million. Jay-Z’s net worth is $475 Million. For Father’s Day 2012, Beyoncé bought her honey Jay-Z a $40 million private jet. It features a living room, a kitchen, two full bathrooms and sucks down tens of thousands of dollars worth of FOSSIL FUEL every time they turn it on. But hey, they created a few jobs, right? The thing needs pilots and lackeys to clean those bathrooms and rub their feet.
And while it may appear to the average unwashed, inbred Republican that these two are greedy, rich people who lavish their dollars on themselves, while giving nary a thought to the actual unwashed masses suffering through the lousy Obama Economy, the genetically superior Democrat knows instinctively that these rich people earned every penny honestly and are entitled to spend it how they choose.
How do they know this? Because they throw fancy PRIVATE fund-raisers for Barack Obama, that’s how!

If this is what Obama’s America looks like after four years, I don’t want to see it after four more. Color me unwashed and inbred. I’m for Romney.
