Rasmussen Presidential Poll
Today's daily Presidential Tracking Poll from Rasmussen Reports shows some interesting numbers. For the first time yet Obama's approval index rating has dropped to 0. This means that the same amount of people strongly disapprove of him (34%) as there are people who strongly disapprove of him. If you are wondering I would fall in the latter. The fact that 34% of people in a poll can still say that they strongly approve of him absolutely fascinates me, but that is a whole other discussion. I still think that there are a lot of people out there who buy in to the mentality of "he has only been there for 100 days or so, we have to give him time." Well keep thinking that, as he slowly destroys this nation.

Socialism in action
If you voted for Barack Obama and his thugs, this is your responsibility, this is your crime, and I hope for a minute you have the capacity to sit back and consider your actions. Your hope and your change are destroying what was great about this nation. This letter below checks out. George C. Joseph is (soon to be was) the Owner of Sunshine Dodge (page 36 of this PDF document that lists dealership closings). The letter was posted to American Thinker on May 19, 2009. The mess that is being created right now is just the beginning of something larger. You know the idiots in control right now kind of remind me of high school students. For various reasons high school kids seem to think they know everything about the world and just have to say something for it to be true. The problem is reality is what it is and you cannot change that fact. Capitalism is the only truly successful and just form of economic orientation and the more we stray from that the more problems we will have in this society.
We never should have bailed any of these companies out but thugs like Timothy Geithner and Hank Paulson encouraged it. Now we have government hands in private business. Chrysler could have declared bankruptcy on its own. Mr. Joseph has run a successful dealership and he could have figured out how to survive. That's how capitalism works. Many people in this country were never taught it and for some reason they think that government is the answer to protect them from the alleged "evil" of capitalism. That protection is working out real well for the families who depended on income from this Dodge dealership, isn't it? It is imperative you wake up and realize that the reason companies like Chrysler are failing is primarily because of an involvement of government and organized labor. Organized labor and the democrats are tied at the hip. Are you now surprised that the UAW owns 55% of a restructured Chrysler? This is not a coincidence. Organized labor has no business having a controlling interest in the companies that they work for.
Letter from a Dodge dealer
- letter to the editor of American Thinker magazine, May 22, 2009 edition
My name is George C. Joseph. I am the sole owner of Sunshine Dodge-Isuzu, a family owned and operated business in Melbourne, Florida. My family bought and paid for this automobile franchise 35 years ago in 1974. I am the second generation to manage this business.
We currently employ 50+ people and before the economic slowdown we employed over 70 local people. We are active in the community and the local chamber of commerce. We deal with several dozen local vendors on a day to day basis and many more during a month. All depend on our business for part of their livelihood. We are financially strong with great respect in the market place and community. We have strong local presence and stability.
I work every day the store is open, nine to ten hours a day. I know most of our customers and all our employees. Sunshine Dodge is my life.
On Thursday, May 14, 2009 I was notified that my Dodge franchise, that we purchased, will be taken away from my family on June 9, 2009 without compensation and given to another dealer at no cost to them.
My new vehicle inventory consists of 125 vehicles with a financed balance of 3 million dollars. This inventory becomes impossible to sell with no factory incentives beyond June 9, 2009. Without the Dodge franchise we can no longer sell a new Dodge as "new," nor will we be able to do any warranty service work. Additionally, my Dodge parts inventory, (approximately $300,000.) is virtually worthless without the ability to perform warranty service. There is no offer from Chrysler to buy back the vehicles or parts inventory.
Our facility was recently totally renovated at Chrysler's insistence, incurring a multi-million dollar debt in the form of a mortgage at Sun Trust Bank.
HOW IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA CAN THIS HAPPEN?
THIS IS A PRIVATE BUSINESS NOT A GOVERNMENT ENTITY.
This is beyond imagination! My business is being stolen from me through NO FAULT OF OUR OWN. We did NOTHING wrong.
This atrocity will most likely force my family into bankruptcy. This will also cause our 50+ employees to be unemployed. How will they provide for their families? This is a total economic disaster.
HOW CAN THIS HAPPEN IN A FREE MARKET ECONOMY IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA?
I beseech your help, and look forward to your reply. Thank you.
Sincerely,
George C. Joseph
President & Owner
Sunshine Dodge-Isuzu

Claire McCaskill...a bunch of cookies...and 20 pounds??
I don't mean to sound rude about what I am about to say, the truth hurts sometime. I had to laugh when I came across this article, but I must say it taps into a couple things wrong with this nation. I am not shy about the fact that I think that Claire McCaskill is one of the most ineffective Senators in Washington. Which probably makes her perfect to be President Obama's little lap dog. Which she has become. Did you know her name has even been floated as a Supreme Court nominee to replace retiring liberal Justice Souter? This is not realistic, it was just a political Beggin' Strip.
Anyway, Claire McCaskill said at MSU's College of Business graduation ceremony that when she lost the Governor's race in 2004 it was devastating. Because of her devastation, she stayed on the couch, ate chocolate chip cookies, and gained 20 pounds. No, really, that's what she said.
This woman is our United States Senator? It was a political defeat. She didn't get dumped by her middle school crush. To take it one step further why in the world is this woman speaking to a graduating class of business students. According to her own biography on her Senate website she has never managed a business in her life.
Why am I bringing all this up? I think it taps into a sickness that we have in this country. We are fascinated with position, title, and college degree but we don't ever expect people to really be qualified for anything anymore. Life experience doesn't mean squat. I was a middle level manager at Target in my last job. My last boss there, 22, straight out of college and no experience. This was the rule not the exception at Target. Inside their stores they have what are called Executive Team Leaders, basically assistant store managers, you must have a college degree. Take a person that has worked at Target for 10+ years at the next level down on the totem pole, no college degree, absolutely no chance of promotion. This is the norm for many other companies. Look at our President! What has he done, c'mon someone tell me. Oh, yeah, community organizer, lawyer, professor, state Senator, Senator, President. Tell me where in their he actually did anything. Position...title...degree.
Take it one step further. This country is full of weak people, not all of us, but a fair amount. Sorry if that offends you, but it's the truth. We are a nation that is plagued by low self-esteem and we continuously self medicate with food, booze, drugs, and junk. I was guilty of this until I finally woke up. Why are we in this financial mess right now? People who had accomplished little were able and encouraged to purchase homes that they couldn't afford by politicians. Yes, the bankers were told to satisfy these people. The bankers were weak, in and of the fact that they never stood up to the clowns in Washington and told them no. Why was Obama elected President? Because he talks and sounds just like what people want to be. Confident, charismatic, and intelligent. Why do you think that commentators like Chris Matthews get warm fuzzy feelings in their legs when they hear him speak?
Claire you lost a Governor's race. You decided to sit on a couch, suck your thumb, and shovel saturated fat down your throat until you felt better? What is wrong with this nation? I am a true believer in the fact that that governments and leaders reflect the people and the people reflect reflect their government. We better wake up soon! This nonsense has to end.

The Things You Learn Sitting In a National Tire and Battery Waiting Room
So tonight was a crazy night. What started out as a trip to go watch a local band play a charity benefit concert turned into an expensive evening. It also proved that successful people shouldn't be punished and that we should be concerned about Barack Obama being our President. You are probably scratching your head right now going how in the world is he going to tie all this together.
Me, my car, and a ditch all had an unfriendly and untimely meeting at about 7:30 PM. Unfortunately the ditch won. So I put on the little fake tire and hustled back to my local NTB here in Liberty to see what they could do for me. Now I didn't get to the store until 8:40 PM and it's a Friday night so I expected to maybe get the car looked at and come back in the morning. They close at 9:00 PM. To my pleasant surprise, this was not the case. If you live in the Liberty area and you need tires or something closely related please go there, you won't be disappointed! Larry is the store manager at this NTB and let me tell the man is a breath of fresh air. He was more than happy to keep his guys to work on the car, wanted my business, and expected no less of himself.
I have dealt with Larry before and he is one of those people that want to earn your business and know what it takes to do the right thing. I spent several minutes talking to him, this guy is a working machine. He manages and or helps manage 15 different stores (Indep., Olathe, and other area stores), flies all over the country training other stores, and is basically on track to be a district manager for the company. By all assumptions, without asking, I would venture to say he probably makes over $250,000 a year. To make that kind of money he works close to 80 hours a week. But by our Presidents calculations and many that voted for our President this man is an evil rich person who needs to pay more in taxes.
I am sitting in the lobby going through the available reading material in the lounge and happen to come upon a recent copy of Metal Hammer magazine. Now, I had never seen this rag before and frankly would be happy to never see it again. You see it's a magazine that reports on Heavy Metal bands. Out of curiosity I started thumbing through the pages and was a little taken back by what I saw. First you find the f-word about every other paragraph. Second, I especially thought highly of their advertising section. Did you know that you can receive pornography on your cell phone now, and there is more than one company that will provide it to you? (I hope you realize that was sarcasm.) But the thing that topped it off was the results of the readers poll. The Hero of 2008 according to the losers that read Metal Hammer magazine is none other than, Mr. President himself, Barack Obama! Everyone give him a hand he beat out wonderful competitors like Corey Taylor of Slipknot, James Hetfield of Metallica and even Batman. Who is Slipknot you say? Well here I thought we would have a musical timeout in this blog post for one of their songs. Everyone sing it with me now "F*** this World!"
F*** it all!
F*** this world!
F*** everything that you stand for!
Don't belong! Don't exist!
Don't give a s***!
Don't ever judge me!
And don't you f******* touch me!
You got all my love, livin' in your own hate
Drippin' hole man, hard step, no fate
Show you nuthin', but I ain't holdin' back
Every damn word I say is a sneak attack
When I get my hands on you
Ain't a f****** thing you can do
Get this cuz you're never gonna get me I am the very disease you pretend to be
Slipknot alone has sold over 5 MILLION albums in the US and has had three albums go platinum. Way to go Barry! You have been nominated as the Hero of 2008 by those that think this stuff is entertainment. It's not a subsection of the population anymore, this is becoming mainstream.
Well, I did the responsible thing and challenged Larry about the fact that this magazine was laying around, he wasn't aware it was sitting in his lounge either and quickly disposed of it. Folks I don't know if you get this yet, but we got a problem here. Now I am not saying that all Barack Obama supporters are heavy metal loving moral degenerates but I am saying that you should be concerned about the fact that you support the same candidate as these people. Do you realize why this candidate appeals to people that think with this mindset? Wake up, it's not about helping people anymore. Your good intentioned heart has poisoned this country with a cult of irresponsibility and dependency. This is not the 1930s, 40s, and 50s.
These people voted for this candidate because they perceive harm from the Larry's of the world. This is not right! Larry is a good person, married, has two kids, you know he told me his goal right now is just to be debt free except for his house. Instead you want to subjugate him to these people so they can keep buying their Slipknot CDs and living off of you and me. Wake up America we are going to fail if we keep this up!!!!!! In many ways we already have.
