BloggeRhythms 4/26/2013

I sometimes wonder if it’s the climate that dims Californian's wits, or are they incredibly dense before they arrive there. Because if you want to see what someplace looks like when governed by people unable to rationalize, the golden state’s the place to go.
 
Earlier this week in Sacramento, a bill passed a legislative committee saying homeless people would be allowed to sit, sleep and panhandle in public. According to state Assemblyman Tom Ammiano, a Democrat from San Francisco, “every person has a right to use public spaces, regardless of housing status.”
 
Then on Thursday, according to the Associated Press via Fox News on-line, “The California Assembly passed a bill that would make the state the first in the nation to allow non-citizens who are in the country legally to serve on jury duty.”
 
In this case, “Assemblyman Bob Wieckowski, also a Democrat but from Fremont, said his bill, “would help California widen the pool of prospective jurors and help integrate immigrants into the community.”
 
In looking at both of these situations, there’s a fundamental theme that I simply don’t understand. Because this nation was built by the drive, ambition, talent and dedication of the most productive, successful people on earth. And, I believe, it was those qualities among many other good ones, that caused the U.S. to become the standard for the world in just over 200 years, not very long compared to other places, like Europe, Asia, Africa or South America for instance which are all still colossal failures as is practically everywhere else on the map.
 
And since that’s the case, why do Democrats work so hard to try to undo it, weaken our country, lower the standards and give away as much as they can to losers from what's been achieved and earned by the best among us?
 
As far as I’m concerned, I frankly don’t care what Dem’s give away. In fact they can eliminate laws altogether and donate every penny they have to whoever they want. Just so long as what they fritter is theirs and comes out of their personal pockets. But if they want to give away what’s mine and let bums, derelicts and worthless wino’s  sleep on my street, they better have shotguns and body armor, because they’re going to need both to get anywhere close to my house alive.   
 
Along the same lines, regarding the misguided mindset of Dem’s, according to CNBC via Drudge, GDP for the 1st quarter was poor at 2.5%.  However, consumer spending was up. 
 
And then the report got into why consumer spending rose. “Much of the gains in first-quarter spending came from automobile purchases and outlays for utilities, which were boosted by unusually cold temperatures. 
 
So, once again the global-warmist’s and climate change fabricators took a shot in the shorts, but still, I’m sure, won’t give up. Because there’s just too many bucks at stake in this fraud and folks like AlGore will keep up the sham as long as there’s still another nickel to steal from the gullible public, aided by an administration all too happy to rip off their share of the theft. 
 
In regard to the administration, I often note how poor the quality of choices are for government posts of almost any kind. And then it hit me again today when I read about B. Todd Jones, a Minnesota federal prosecutor, serving as acting director of the ATF until  final approval as its head.   
 
In this guy’s case, according to Fox: allegations against his nomination include claims that in his prior post “he mismanaged the prosecutor's office and presided over a "climate of fear." Specifically, he was accused of retaliating against whistle-blowing with "a suspension and a lowered performance appraisal." 
 
A letter, obtained by FoxNews.com, dated July 20, 2012 to the Office of Special Counsel, employees at the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Minnesota first claimed that they were being mistreated and that the office had turned into a “hostile work environment.”
 
It was also claimed that Jones “instituted a climate of fear, has pushed employees out of the office, dismissed employees wrongly, violated the hiring practices of the EEOC and put in place an Orwellian style of management that continues to polarize the office." 
 
The letter also asked the OSC to “come to this office and investigate the actions of not only B. Todd Jones, but those who he has put in positions that further his dictator style and created this atmosphere of fear among us.”
 
So, as I pondered this one It served as one more proof that government in general attracts the worst of the worst, which makes sense because its primarily a brain-dead endeavor, but I’d have to think that there must be something that can be done about the situation  aside from elections.
 
But then, another item began to lift my spirits because according to Reuters via Drudge, reported by Jennifer Saba: “The New York Times Co. reported a decline in quarterly revenue on weak advertising sales but said it would try to grow out of the slump by expanding its suite of digital products.”
 
She goes on that: “The 11.2 percent drop in advertising revenue in the first quarter underscores the pressure that the New York Times faces to increase its subscription revenue, especially for its digital products, and find new veins of income.” 
 
So, here we have the media arm of the administration, and almost all Dem causes, losing subscribers by the boatload which means that perhaps folks are getting tired of being buried in slanted pap and are seeking the truth someplace else.
 
Thus tying this together with the wheels coming off the economy -except for bucks spent because of a colder climate- and add to that the migration from places like California due to excess taxation and moronic legislation, coupled with completely ridiculous governmental appointments, I begin to think that this administration's chances of imploding aren't really unrealistic. And that to me says, since like always, sooner or later bad guys finish last, we seem to have a very good and growing reason for hope.
 
That’s it for today folks.
 
Adios
