Money Well-spent

Taliban, criminals get $360 million from US taxes.


After examining hundreds of combat support and reconstruction contracts in Afghanistan, the U.S military estimates $360 million in U.S. tax dollars has ended up in the hands of people the American-led coalition has spent nearly a decade battling: the Taliban, criminals and power brokers with ties to both. 


I'm just glad we're paying them over there, so we don't have to pay them over here.

Robbing Peter to Pay Juan

Keeping the premeditated economic apocalypse in mind, I'm delighted that the Obama administration has found enough taxpayer dollars for funding community health centers for the treatment of "migrants" and "seasonal farm workers." Now I have a window of insight into the inner workings of "community organization," in which Obama prides himself as an adept. Our unborn great-grandchildren may be in debt when they first pop out of the womb, but at least the undocumented rapists and murderers and welfare cases and drunk drivers and fraudsters will have adequate, inexpensive health care. That's what matters most.

Serving illegal aliens is a conscious objective, as this comment demonstrates:

“Health centers do not, as a matter of routine practice, ask about or collect data on citizenship or other matters not related to the treatment needs of the patients seeking health services at the center,” Andrews said.

“The Program’s authorizing statute does not affirmatively address immigration status,” said Andrews. “Rather, it simply states that health centers are required to provide primary health care to all residents of the health center's service area without regard for ability to pay.”

Given that "illegal immigrants make up an estimated 25 percent of all migrant farm workers," the intent behind this magnanimity with other people's money becomes clear: aiding and abetting lawlessness. Not only does the federal government refuse enforcement of our nation's right and proper immigration laws, but it provides services for criminal aliens at your expense.

That's what I call compassion.

See My Hat? Now Watch Me Talk Through It

Have you seen/heard Obama's budget speech from April 8? Here's a link with the full transcript and video of his address.

The video clocks in at just under four minutes. I remember thinking as I watched the speech on T.V. that this guy doesn't even believe in the fertilization properties of the malodorous meadow muffins he's throwing at us. Put another way, he doesn't buy his own crap.

Watch the speech, and pay careful attention to his body language, posture, tone, and most importantly, his eyes. He knows he's full of it, having about as much interest in talking up America as I do in piercing my nose with a rusted nail -- and it probably pains him about the same.

I want to call attention to one short paragraph in his platitude session:


At the same time, we also made sure that at the end of the day, this was a debate about spending cuts, not social issues like women’s health and the protection of our air and water. These are important issues that deserve discussion, just not during a debate about our budget.


Let me translate Obama's biased rhetoric: by "women's health," he means the important, God-given and constitutional right to slaughter one's unborn child; "protection of our air and water" is code for a policy of pleasing pantheists and helping the third world get ahead -- at the expense of U.S. citizens, of course. By all means, such matters should stay far off the table in discussions pertaining to spending cuts.
