All Your Base Are Belong To Us — The Kip Lange Homepage

As happy as I am with last night’s election results, let me state the following: The Republicans have been given a second chance, and they’re on probation.

The polling showed that people are just as sick of Republicans as they are of Democrats. However, the Democrats happen to be in power, and happen to have passed a lot of unpopular (disastrous) legislation, so the country “threw the bums out” without flinching.

But, as noted above, that does not mean the electorate loves Republicans. It merely means that they’re giving Republicans another crack at things, since the Democrats have caused a mess. So mark my words, fellow Republicans — we are on probation.

If we do not move forward with an agenda that is focused on limiting government and reducing its role in people’s lives, we will get tossed out in two years. Whether Obama wins or not. So we need to deliver on our promises of restraint on spending, restraint on government, and as far as “the party of no” goes, we have to keep it up, in regards to good ol’ Barry. We need to put the brakes on his administration.

Charles Krauthammer has prononunced, “The Obama agenda is dead.” I certainly hope it is. But it could easily rise up like a zombie and start staggering forward again, moaning “TAXXXX AND SPENNNDDD!!!” (and “BRAINNNSSSS”, I suppose).

So every single one of you who got elected with an (R) next to your name, watch your ass. Barry wants an end to “partisan politics”. Interesting, since it was strict partisan politics that got his horrendous legislation passed. Put the brakes on Obama, Republicans, and start moving forward with a plan for job growth based on the private sector.

Or in two years there will be yet another bloodbath — this time as Republicans are voted out in droves and Democrats are given a second chance.

Let’s not waste our second chance. Let’s move forward aggressively. Let’s live up to what we promised in the campaign, every last iota of promises we made. Then we will deserve the respect of the people, and, consequently re-election. Or perhaps control of the Senate.

Either way, this is not the time for Rs to rest on their laurels, or, worse yet, reveal themselves to be RINOs.

Rant over.

Yeah, that’s right, Barry Obama signed the PACT Act (Prevent All Cigarette Trafficking) earlier this year and it’s set to go into effect at the end of this month.

What happened to not taxing anybody making less than $200k? The PACT Act is a regressive, blue-collar tax. Guess what’s exempt from the PACT Act? Cigars. Doesn’t take a genius to figure out why — politicians and rich people smoke cigars.

You assholes. Fuck you, Obama. I guess you want us to get our tar from the Gulf, not from smokes.

We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too.
-John F. Kennedy, 1962

The usually reticent Neil Armstrong went after Obama today on his lack of a “vision thing” for space travel in a letter signed by two other astronauts, James Lovell and Eugene Cernan.

Armstrong warns that scrapping manned missions to the moon and Mars and hitching rides with the Russians — for money — is not the hottest idea. “Without the skill and experience that actual spacecraft operation provides, the USA is far too likely to be on a long downhill slide to mediocrity,” Lovell, Armstrong, and Cernan said in the letter.

John F. Kennedy — a president who also gave the country one of its largest tax cuts — was not the sort of man who would have let us take a back seat to the rest of the world in the Space Race. But, even though he’ll spend close to a trillion dollars on his beloved and vaporific “Stimulus Package”, Barack Obama will not shell out the few billion needed to keep America in the manned space game for the next few years as we transition out of the Shuttle phase and into the early years of the Orion project.

Manned space travel is one of thew few things that makes people step back from their petty little lives, transcend themselves, and see life on a whole new level.

Barack Obama does not understand this. The “community organizer” is far more interested in continuing to sell his malignant health care “reform” package. Space travel is the triumph of the individual over great odds. Obama doesn’t have that kind of vision, never did, and never will.

Neil Armstrong and John F. Kennedy were right, and Barack Obama is wrong.

This is a pet peeve of mine. Obama is touting CBO (Congressional Budget Office) numbers to back up health care “reform”. But the CBO’s track record is far from perfect. Years ago, when my father was researching statistics for a PBS show he produced called “The Advocates”, he delved into CBO numbers. And found that, more than half the time, the CBO is flat-out wrong. They would predict growth when there was decline. They would predict decline when there was growth.

Just because they’re supposedly non-partisan does not, I repeat, not, make them right about everything.

If you really think this health care reform bill is going to shrink the deficit, you’re a certifiable moron.

Right. As of right now, it looks like they have the votes to path health care “reform”.

Despite the fact that poll after poll shows people are overwhelmingly against it.

I hope you’re all waking up to the fact that Barack Obama is not a pragmatic centrist like Bill Clinton, but an arrogant ideologue like…Jimmy Carter.

You fools who elected him deserve every bit of this. And every bit of the consequences that will come about because of this in November. If Scott Brown’s election wasn’t enough to make the people’s collective voice heard, what will be?
