It's About the Horrible Policies, Stupid

Obama is now convincingly a minority president. No, I don't mean racially.

I mean Obama now joins George W. Bush not only in the continuation of neocon foreign policies and big government profligacy, but (inevitably) that this is leading him to now consistently poll below 50% approval...and falling.

At 46%, President Obama's latest job approval rating is the lowest ever in Quinnipiac polls, and he has an upside down rating for his handling of health care.

The new survey (Dec. 1-6, 2313 RV, MoE +/- 2%), released this morning, finds 44% disapproving of the job Obama's doing.

More than half (51%) of independents now disapprove of Obama's job performance, while 37% approve.

Similarly : Obama's 47 Percent Approval Lowest of Any President at This Point

The public's fast-growing disapproval of Obama's arrogant power-mongering should come as no surprise, except perhaps to the most reality-oblivious and purely-partisan hopechangelings now hunkering down in the bunker.

The public is quickly losing confidence in everything about the Obama presidency, as well it should.

Even the mile-wide, inch-deep veneer of public confidence that may have existed in the wake of Obama's ascension will not be regained, if ever, as long as Obama continues to be an arrogant partisan ideologue, pursuing a messianic agenda in willful disregard of the deeply-held reservations of scores of millions of Americans of all political stripes...essentially a redux of the way George W. Bush did business.

It took Bush several years to fall through the floor in public approval. Obama is on track to exceed Bush's free fall in its breadth and depth.

And why not? Obama's policies are akin to Bush's worst imperial presidential one-party hegemonic power fantasies and control ideology...on steroids.

Couldn't happen to a more deserving charlatan.



And indicators like this certainly don't bode well for the Democrats and their massive ad hoc slapdash schemes to centrally plan all American life around leftist pipe dreams.

I believe most thinking Americans implicitly understand that the rise of comprehensive welfare statism (on credit) with the Obamanation run amok spells a future of economically moribund life in which maintaining lower middle-class trappings is akin to luxury...but of course life is worth living 'cause you have "free" health care.

As in : "Hey your life will be muddling drudgery largely in service to voracious tax parasites, but at least you will be able to get that boil lanced on the cheap...and maybe even prolong your life of servitude by a year or two!"

Millions of Americans can see that if this Obama-led runaway train over the cliff to hell isn't stopped and fast that they will soon consider it a blessing simply to sustain a bare semblance of personal and familial economic stability, scraping by on what is left after the central planners get through with everyone's resources and wealth.

As I have said about Bush, I will say about Obama et al :


Always wrong. Never in doubt.

The real progressives are desperate. They now realize they have been duped into believing Obama would actually take on the lobbyists, wall street bankers, military industrial complex, etc.

It is apparent we have a man who gave great speeches but also had the ability to use Martin Luther King and the policies of George Bush in the same sentence.

CNN reported Obama and his administration are not worried about 2012 election. There will be no opponet to Obama on the demorat side, and any repuke will be slammed. Doesnt it occur to anyone that neither of these parties are working the citizens and we should as good government citizens establish a party that works for the people, not the corporations?

A Libertarian Martin Luther King Jr. Day post

In which we travel into interesting waters . . . (for a fairly long trip, so be prepared) Dr. King's 1968 book, Where do we go from here:  chaos or community? , is profound in that it criticizes anti-poverty programs for their piecemeal approach, as John Schlosberg of the Center for a Stateless Society  [C4SS] observes: King noted that the antipoverty programs of the time “proceeded from a premise that poverty is a consequence of multiple evils,” with separate programs each dedicated to individual issues such as education and housing. Though in his view “none of these remedies in itself is unsound,” they “all have a fatal disadvantage” of being “piecemeal,” with their implementation having “fluctuated at the whims of legislative bodies” or been “entangled in bureaucratic stalling.”   The result is that “fragmentary and spasmodic reforms have failed to reach down to the profoundest needs of the poor.” Such single-issue approaches also have “another common failing — ...

More of This, Please

Or perhaps I should say, "Less of this one, please." Or how about just, "None of them. Ever again. Please....For the Love of God." Sunshine State Poll: Grayson In Trouble The latest Sunshine State/VSS poll shows controversial Democratic incumbent Alan Grayson trailing former state Senator Dan Webster by seven points, 43 percent to 36 percent. A majority of respondents -- 51 percent -- disapprove of the job that Grayson is doing. Independents have an unfavorable view of him as well, by a 36/47 margin. Grayson has ignored the conventional wisdom that a freshman should be a quiet member who carefully tends to the home fires. The latest controversy involves his " Taliban Dan " advertisement, where he explicitly compares his opponent to the Taliban, and shows a clip of Webster paraphrasing Ephesians 5:22 -- "wives, submit to your husbands." An unedited version of the clip shows that Webster was actually suggesting that husba...

A reply to Salon's R. J. Eskrow, and his 11 stupid questions about Libertarians

Posts here have been in short supply as I have been living life and trying to get a campaign off the ground. But "11 questions to see if Libertarians are hypocrites" by R. J. Eskrow, picked up at Salon , was just so freaking lame that I spent half an hour answering them. In the end (but I'll leave it to your judgment), it is not that Libertarians or Libertarian theory looks hypocritical, but that the best that can be said for Mr. Eskrow is that he doesn't have the faintest clue what he's talking about. That's ok, because even ill-informed attacks by people like this make an important point:  Libertarian ideas (as opposed to Conservative ideas, which are completely different) are making a comeback as the dynamic counterpoint to "politics as usual," and so every hack you can imagine must be dragged out to refute them. Ergo:  Mr. Eskrow's 11 questions, with answers: 1.       Are unions, political parties, elections, and ...
