George Bush’s Third Term
The Party of “Not My Fault”
How long will Barry be able to use the word “Inherited”?
Truly, it is amazing, to watch people who have spent their whole lives, driven by egos, trying to prove to everyone else that they are the most capable and knowledgeable people in the world, falter, fail, fumble and stutter… just to blame others when things do not go well for them.
When watching the likes of Pelosi blame her positions on an interrogation technique that she claims she was “lied” to about, the clear implication is that she did not do her due diligence. She did not ask the right questions. She did not make the right statements at the right time regarding waterboarding. She knew. She just never thought she would be put to task for having a double standard whence the technique was declared “torture” by the incoming left wing radicals.
Now, when forced to acknowledge her involvement, she claims she was “lied” to and “misled”.
And while on that topic, let me briefly state that we on the right need to understand something- a “something” that we are not very good at- primarily because we are logical and mostly principled when it comes to speaking the truth:
- We on the right are losing the battle for the minds of the idiots of this country. The left understands that if you just repeat, over and over and over the right phrase, the right term, you don’t actually even need to be “right” to win the battle. Currently, the left is, with the help of the MSM, painting the picture very well that waterboarding is torture. I still argue that it is not, and that it is legal to use against enemy combatants, as they are not covered by article 4 of the Geneva Convention.
In much the same way, the left battles with the right on abortion. Using terms like “choice” and “right to choose”, they dodge the reality that it is murder, because the kool aid drinking avg. Joe out there is not a critical thinker. THAT, my friend, is their ‘base’. It consists of three elements:
- The non-critical thinker
- Those bound by special interest/benefit interests
- The radical ideologue
And under the radical ideologue category, you will find the following:
- Environmentalists
- Money/Capitalism/Business haters
- Pacifists
- Those who feel that nothing is their responsibility, but always find ways to blame others. These same people think the rich should feed the poor, and the government should provide your security blanket.
Which brings us full circle back to the topic of this blog post- “responsibility”.
The “LoPRP’s”
I coined a term, an acronym, some time ago, and tried to get Rush Limbaugh to adopt it. The acronym is “LoPRP”, pronounced “Low-Perp”; or, when plural, “LoPerps”, as in “The LoPerps always seem to find a way to blame everyone else but themselves”…
What does it stand for?
“Lack of Personal Responsibility Party”
You and I have seen countless examples of how the Democrat party, primarily the left wing of that party, constantly shifts blame of every important issue onto others, when they can, or it is necessary. And as one very famous top forty announcer used to say, “And the hits just keep a comin’ “…
Pelosi aside, what is really under my skin right now is that we continue to hear the constant drum pounding of “inherited” into the soft brains of the non critical thinker by the Obama administration, assisted persistently by the media. This is code for “it is not my fault”.
Obama’s position on difficult issues is being painted daily by himself and the MSM just like they paint abortion as “choice” and waterboarding as “torture”- except in this case they are using the word “inherited”. This goes down easily for the milk toast intellect that makes up a large part of their party. “Of course. It all makes sense now. It is STILL George Bush’s fault!”
How many times have you heard backwards looking statements which are condescending glances on “how we got here”? How many times does Barry and his party leaders comment on “the failed policies” and “eight years of blah blah blah”? By God, I tend to think that George Bush indeed DID win a third term! He’s still in the White House!
“The economy is not my fault. GITMO is not my fault. Iraq is not my fault. The housing bubble bursting is not my fault. Our lack of goodwill abroad is not my fault.” How often is fault REALLY important? Well, when you don’t have a solution that works, for one. And since Barry was elected to provide solutions, and so far, they don’t seem to be working so well, they are trying to paint him some “cover” with the term “inherited”.
Guess what, Barry? The critical thinker does not care… Nobody cares what you “inherited”, except those who would rather point fingers and cast blame, instead of recognizing the broader, more important concepts that are really the critical issues here:
- You chose to run for office. You ran on “hope” and “change” and Yes we can!” Now you have to DO.
- EVERY President ‘inherits’- the good and the bad. Are you willing to talk about the good you inherited from G.W.?
- When you run for office, you are inherently (pun intended) stating that YOU are smarter than the those you are running against, OR, replacing. You have better ideas. YOU know how to fix it!
Even though 61 million people voted against this buffoon based on fear he was not ready for primetime (among other fears, which he is proving to be well founded), he still rallied from city to city chanting “Yes we CAN!”, all the way to victory, all the way to the White House. Apparently what he really meant was “Yes, we can, maybe, and if we fail, we will make sure we blame the other guy before us!” But are we seeing him “fix it”? Is he not backtracking on many things he criticized Bush for?
Since Obama has arrived in office he has proven several things, most of which are simple, easy low fruit. He has not accomplished ONE thing that is a testimony to great leadership under dire circumstances.
- Barry promised to close GITMO. Now he has to backtrack, showing lack of knowledge, patience, wisdom, or leadership.
- Barry has backtracked on ideological positions concerning military tribunals; executive privilege and State’s Secrets.
- Barry overturned many Executive Orders. Low, ideological fruit, requiring no heavy lifting.
- Barry has become an apologist for America, abroad.
- Barry has extended hopes of extended diplomacy to tyrants and terrorists.
- Barry rammed through a stimulus package, mostly due to the fact he has a nearly unstoppable Democrat controlled congress, proving he can spend money to try to solve problems- and in the process, destroyed any goodwill he had in congress for bipartisanship, as well as breaking campaign promises.
- Barry has tried to micromanage large industries, mostly on policy, but also on principle, favoring heavily the Union position. These companies continue to fall deeper into disaster.
Barry is not a leader. He is a talker. A speaker. And the “leadership” of his party comes from the far left, where the LoPRP’s grow and live. On the other hand, considering what he wants to achieve, perhaps it is good that he so far has been nothing more than a check writing teleprompter driven talking head.
So far, as I stated, Barry has proven he can throw money at a problem. Unfortunately, it is like paying your bills with credit cards, and if it fails, we are in deep S***. But in the meantime, it is apparent that he and his party leaders are not capable of taking responsibility for their actions. I mean, for hell’s sake, they OWN congress, and the White House! They OWN everything that is happening, good and bad. They just don’t seem to be able to take the reigns of leadership and acknowledge it is theirs to win or lose.
At some point in time, even the non-critical thinkers will catch on, and recognize that G.W. is no longer in office. “Inherited” will slowly lose its ability to sway the weak minded. At some point, people will recognize you CHOSE to run for this job, and your job while in is to provide what you promised- “Change”, “Hope”, “Yes we CAN!” At some point in time, people will recognize that you were elected to LEAD; DO; be RESPONSIBLE; not POINT FINGERS.
At least, we can hope so. After all, “Pro-Choice” still trumps “murder” in the soft brains of those on the left.
Now get out there and spread the acronym “LoPRP”!!!!
Worst State of the Union speech EVER! He couldn't stop blaming Bush every five minutes and lecturing Republicans on partisanship ...

HARRY REID QUOTED AS SAYING:

I want to thank FOX News for following and reporting on Obama so diligently. Now — if FOX had done the same with Bush, instead of acting like a cheereleading squad, we may not be where we are today — in a deep hole that keeps getting deeper.
Let’s face it, media has failed the people, the very ones who depend on them for unbiased news. Most defer to Obama by avoiding the hard questions and take a thinly disguised partisan view. No one investigates or takes the time to follow-through.
What good is the media? Well, they do report international news but first you have to wade through the trash that passes for programming. Once you get to the domestic news you have to weigh what they say against their obviously biased slant.
Each side is as biased/prejudiced as the other. The consultants they use are much like the “expert” witnessees used in a court trial. For a certain sum or just publicity they will tell you exactly what you want to hear regardless of the truth.
The media will keep giving us this biased trash because they can, because not enough people object, because some see themselves as policy makers and guardians of their party.
Well… well… well…
Why does this sound so much like the current South African government. Blame the past… keep blaming the past, but never actually doing anything. Shift a few things about here and there to try and keep a few happy but never actually CHANGING anything. Where is the hope, the change… CAN we? I doubt it. Worst thing at the moment is that Barry doesn’t even have a plan. He had no idea what it was he was getting into and now he has no answer.
Pity really, because with a half decent team he really could talk them to results. A leader Barry is not… but a great spokes person.
“Inherited” does apply in some cases. Look at what’s about to happen to us through the back door deals of Clinton, Bush and now Obama.
We’re about to get the push to put health care for EVERYBODY through. If I object and say we all know the government administers no programs well they ignore me. If I object and say how many Illegal Aliens will I be paying for they say so what. You’re already paying and they’re right.
I am already paying for the healthcare of illegal aliens but I want to know why. Who sold Americans down the river? Who said Mexicans were allowed to come here and bankrupt our hospitals? Who said Mexicans could rush here to have their babies so these kids could become American citizens and their parents could receive subsidized housing and stay?
I don’t remember voting to allow Mexican citizens to move in and smother my educational, welfare, healthcare programs and take jobs needed in a recession. They keep saying these programs are “Broken” but they’re not. They’re just smothered in a sea of millions of people who do not belong here. Not only do they not belong but they require “special” concessions that I am forced to pay for through local taxes.
They are here illegally but my country will do nothing to stop them. My Congress and my President are co-conspirators in giving my taxes, my jobs and everything else to Mexico. Why? Is it for NAFTA and the idea we will all be one happy North American Union together? I cry treason. I cry foul. I cry stop but my government will not listen.
I want it to stop but Kyl and McCain, my illustrious senators, will do nothing. Instead McCain writes bills to give them amnesty. Of course it’s not the illegal aliens fault. I would move next door too if I were offered free hospitalization, education and perks. Obama sucks them into his magical thinking and they are just too uneducated to know any better. If they understand, just for a fleeting moment, they are tearing down the standard of living for all of us, they don’t care. All they care about is getting theirs — their free share of America or what they call the American Dream because Mexico gives them nothing.
Should I be compassionate as I pay for their babies and broken bones? Should I be compassionate as they crowd in and change the demographics of my country and its political system? Should I be compassionate as the American Government allows the Mexican Government to live off my country against my will? I don’t think so.
No one asked me! They just continue to work right under our noses and nobody says no. They try to make it about being politically correct. Heaven forbid you question a man of color or look too closely at what is happening to our country. The Susan Roesgen’s of the world will jump down your throat and ask what you’re complaining about. How dare a “white man” complain.
Well — I’m complaining. I’ve been complaining for the last decade and my government just keeps ignoring me. You see, my government knows better than I do. My government is busy building a great trade bloc with Canada and Mexico. My government is busy destroying our Constitution and everything I was taught to believe in.
I grew up without health insurance and in a single-parent home. My government never came along to help me out but in this new age of liberal/compassionate government we must take from the taxpayer to give to the illegal alien who pays nothing to the IRS. In fact many of them work “under the table” to the tune of billions that they send back to Mexico to help support that corrupt country that lives off the kindness of strangers — me!
The taxpayers of this country need to give off their big butts and say no, no, no to our government. Say no to healh care for illegal aliens. Say no to education for illegal aliens. Say no to welfare for illegal aliens. Say no to amnesty for illegal aliens.
Education and healthcare are broken — well, what did you expect! Why isn’t my government doing the math. Why didn’t California do the math? Can anyone do the math in this country.
Good Lord.
Spot frickin’ ON.
Every word, spot on.
Yes, Obama is good at “throwing money at a problem” and it’s my money he’s throwing around. I have gotten to the point I don’t want to pay income tax anymore.
I paid for decades when I felt I had some voice in my government but now my dilettante senators in Arizona, Kyl and McCain, do just as they please as if the people they represent don’t count a twit.
They will probably lie down for Sonia Sotomayor instead of calling her out for her “racist” views and slanted opinions. This woman can’t be for America first because she’s for Hispanics first. I would remind Kyl and McCain it’s much too early to be concerned about losing more Hispanic votes and it’s never too late to do the right thing by doing your job well.
John McCain, George W. Bush, Juan Hernandez and ex-presidente Fox are for Mexico first as they push us into a North America Union for big business and international special interests. Obama is busy taking from those who have and giving to those who have less. He is busy molding us into worker bees for the country and for international companies.
For awhile there some “conspiracy nuts” were confused. They knew NAFTA was meant to bring Mexico’s economy up and level the economic playing field between Canada, the U.S. and Mexico, therefore making an alliance of the three (3) countries more viable but it didn’t happen. NAFTA failed but no one said the words because behind the scenes a NAFTA superhighway was being built, NAFTA courts were litigating and great plans for the three (3) countries were being offered. The media refused to address what was happening and ignored it.
The “conspiracy nuts” were in a quandary. How were the three countries going to be financially leveled out? Then came Freddie and Fanny and the risky bundled assets and finally the bailouts. This “man-made” disaster did the trick yet “no man” was to blame and “no man” was to suffer. Strange, don’t you think?
Then our great savior came and said give me all your money and I will spend it and save you. Obama has never stopped spending, and printing, and spending more. Obama has a social program and he wants to implement it while we are still confused and reeling from the “man-made” disasters that struck our country and the entire world.
I don’t want to work hard to pay the bills of someone who doesn’t have my work ethic. I grew up in a one-parent home without insurance just like Sotomayor did and I worked hard since I was 13. No, I didn’t go to college and become a judge but I am part of the backbone of this country that now gives my hard-earned money away so that Mexicans can come here and have their babies free of charge, take American jobs and get free hospital care.
I don’t like it. I don’t like how my money is being spent and if it continues I’d rather go to jail than be forced into a welfare state that rewards anyone who walks across the border and holds out his hand. No one came along and gave me anything for free, Mr. Obama.
Although the “new citizen” is given all the legacy perks of the citizen who invested his life and money in this country, they are not the same. More often than not the “new citizen” is uneducated and poor and will require government money just to survive.
Sotomayor reminds me that everything is about race, race, race no matter how much we try to avoid it, no matter how politically incorrect it has become to challenge anyone brown or black, no matter how much we strive to take the higher ground.
If you lose control of the wheel while you’re driving you have to be careful not to overcorrect when you grab the wheel again. This country has become lopsided on questions of race and it has overcorrected to the point of insanity.
I no longer want to live here and I don’t want to pay taxes to help those who will not help themselves by speaking English just like Obama does. I don’t want to pay birthing costs for someone who walked over the border because I limited my family to what I could afford. I don’t want to be part of a North American Union with Canada and Mexico. I want us to remain a sovereign country.
A country is defined by its border, its language and its culture but my government has seen to it that all these “identifiers” are being erased. My news covers Mexico more often each day, gives me Mexican programs and Mexican words.
Obama, the great leveler, is leading us down a path, his path where the likes of Reverend Wright will dicate special rules for special races. Children will sing their lessons because Africans have long passed down their history and culture by singing, according to Wright, and Blacks have been discriminated against in this fashion.
Who knows what is next — well, we can see the writing on the wall and I just don’t want to live here anymore but my choices are limited as international companies take over and dictate how governments everywhere work. It looks like Obama is doing us in as a nation of capitalists and we will become a nation of capitulators.
We will forget those old white men who signed the Constitution and Thanksgiving and the 13 colonies. Or, if they last, some historian will be certain that a Mexican and a Black sat at the Thanksgiving table.
Of course the Black taught the Indians hip-hop drumming and the Hispanic taught the ethic of Si, se puede. It’s all so warm and fuzzy and politically correct.
Go ahead. Call me a racist.
