While We Were Gone

As a maker, it was good to go to the land of the takers.

We spent last week in California to see how our tax dollars are being put to use.  Unions, basically.  Healthcare for foreign nationals without permission to enter the country too, but mostly unions.

We were offline for most of our visit, so we've done a quick sweep of our favorite blogs to catch up.  Here are the highlights:

Apparently the "Yes we can" and "Hope & Change" propagandists have settled on a theme for 2012.  And what a theme it is!  "Forward" is a commie slogan.  If someone saw this coming, they could have made a killing selling Commie Obama hats....  Lets hope this slogan doesn't work out as well as it did a century ago.

Here is the best response we've seen so far - from The People's Cube:

The Bard of Murdock has a nice poem:

Forward! to the looming cliff.

Forward! to collapse.

Forward! to dependency.

Forward! to relapse.

Forward! in the growing mire.

Forward! in the muck.

Forward! in the sediment.

Forward! ’til we’re stuck.

Forward! to the plebiscite.

Forward! to the vote.

Forward! to the ballot box.

Forward! quote, unquote.

And Ann Barnhardt reminds those ignorant of history what the rising unemployment rate leads to if commies are permitted to stay in power:

The entire Obama regime propaganda on unemployment is driven by the fact that they keep REDUCING THE SIZE OF THE WORKFORCE. People can only collect unemployment benefits for 99 weeks. As soon as a person goes beyond 99 weeks, the Obama regime declares that person as NO LONGER IN THE WORKFORCE. There are people who have been unemployed for over two years who would work if they could find anything, but the rat bastards in the Obama regime and their propaganda arm, the media, just evaporate these people from existence, and they additionally reduce the size of the labor force arbitrarily, just so they can hit whatever predetermined number Valerie Jarret, David Axelrod, Timmy Geithner and Ben Bernanke decide it is going to be. This is what they are doing on every single unemployment report. It is all as fake as a Thai Rolex. Eventually, the Obama regime will go full-Marxist stupid, drop the labor force to 52 million and declare that Great Leader Obama has delivered a FULL EMPLOYMENT ECONOMY. And anyone who dares disagree will be shot in the back of the head with one of those 450 million rounds of .40 cal that the Obama regime just ordered.

Facebook friend Kenn shared this video.  Hitler is none too happy about Obama taking his FORWARD theme.
