Bite Me

So Joe Bite Me sends us an email today:

Karl --

Remember when the GOP was in control?

Yes Bite Me. We think about it every day.

They drove up record deficits to pass tax cuts for the wealthy at the expense of the middle class.

And now they want to do it again. If they take over Congress, Republicans have promised to go back to the "exact same agenda" that drove our economy into a ditch.

You can't make this stuff up. The exact same agenda.

Yes Bite Me. We remember unemployment at 4.5% at one point and roughly 4.7% thereafter.

So I'm going to do everything I can to make sure they don't get the chance. We have a plan in place and 13 days to get it done -- but each and every one of us needs to do what we can today.

Please donate $3 today to help us keep them out of power.

So $3 to keep Democrats in power, or $0 to get Republicans? Since we don't donate now, that is essentially what you are suggesting, right Bite Me?

For months, our opponents sat on the sidelines while you helped the President and our allies in Congress move America forward.

Republicans are still clutching that same political playbook.

And folks like Sharron Angle in Nevada, Ron Johnson in Wisconsin, and Tom Corbett in Pennsylvania want to go beyond the failed policies of the past. Backed by millions in special interest money, some Republicans want to cut the minimum wage, gut Social Security, and end Medicare as we know it.

But Barack and I don't believe economic growth in America has to come at the expense of the middle class.

Uh, Bite Me, We're on the wrong email list. Don't get us wrong, we were middle class. But we've been unemployed for three years now and we sell hats on the side. Nice hats, but tough to sell when others don't have money either.

In fact, we believe we're only making progress when hard-working families are doing better -- and, with your help, we're getting there.

Thanks to health insurance reform, no one will have to choose between keeping their home and getting the care they need.

Thanks to student loan reform, more parents can send their kids to college -- even if it looked out of reach in years past.

Thanks to our investments in clean energy, entrepreneurs are creating jobs and writing a new energy future for this country.

That's change we can all believe in. That's change that doesn't discriminate between Democrats, Republicans, or independents. That's the kind of America I believed in growing up in Scranton and raising my boys in Delaware.

Bite Me, we think you are mistaken in these points.

Health Insurance Reform does discriminate between those who pay for insurance today and those who do not. We are in the former group and our premiums are climbing due to the reform while the latter group pays nothing more than they did before.

Student Loans are no longer competitive since your reform nationalized the industry. So when our son heads to college next year, he'll suffer from higher prices and no choices.

And whatever investments in clean energy you are making, those investments are not impacting our region. Have you done a job search on "clean energy" at Monster lately?

Barack and I are going to keep fighting for that America -- and right now, you get to decide how this fight plays out.

Donate $3 or more today and help us finish strong:

Thanks for all that you do,

Joe Biden

Bite Me - You and Barack can go f**k yourselves.

Communism: Capital Punishment for the Innocent

WSJ's former deputy editor Melanie Kirkpatrick reports in today's Opinion section that North Korea's seal on information is leaking. A Free Press Stirs in North Korea.

It appears North Korea has more of a responsible media than we do, albeit not their choice.

North Koreans reporting from inside North Korea. Incredible as it may seem in a country where journalism as it is practiced in the West is punishable by a trip to the gulag or public execution, such reporters are a new and growing phenomenon. Armed with easy-to-hide pinhole cameras and flash drives, they are getting videos, photographs and written information out of North Korea.

Sounds like something a right-winger would do at the local ACORN office!

Kirkpatrick reports that Jiro Ishimaru, a Japanese journalist, sends his ten reporters into North Korea from China with cameras and money. They bribe their way around the country and return with pictures and information.

It is next to impossible for ordinary North Koreans to get close to military installations, the gulag or Kim Jong Eun. So the reporters have decided to focus on day-to-day life in North Korea, especially starvation, the growing market economy and corruption. They have produced more than 100 hours of video on these subjects. Among the tapes I viewed were ones that showed bags of rice labeled "WFP"—for the United Nations World Food Program—being sold in a marketplace, and soldiers using a military truck as a bus service for paying customers.

The information doesn't flow just one way. Mr. Ishimaru's reporters also try to get information about the outside world into North Korea, usually in the form of CDs containing videos of South Korean soap operas, news shows or documentaries. Before DVD players came into use in China, VCD players—video CD players—had a short run of popularity. Chinese merchants now sell these discarded devices, along with CDs, across the border in North Korea. It's against the law to possess a VCD player or to watch South Korean videos, but the law-enforcement system has broken down enough that more and more North Koreans are taking the risk, assuming that if they get caught they can bribe local officials to look the other way.

The cracks are forming. Soon - but not soon enough - the blinding glare of freedom will shine in the North and the world will once again see the evils of socialism.

Two Weeks

Comrades! The Revolution begins in exactly two weeks!

The revolutionaries wore the hat in 1917.

Will you wear yours in 2010?

Agenda: The DVD

Tonight we are watching Agenda: Grinding America Down. Recommended by NewZeal blogger Trevor Loudon, who is one of the 16 interviewed in the program.

Trevor will be speaking this Thursday at the National Press Club in DC. Cliff Kincaid and his America's Survival, Inc. will be hosting a full day conference, Marxism in America.

Did you ever think you'd hear a conference called by such a name?

We won't be attending as we have family obligations. But our hat will be there, and some of the brightest minds will be there. And we'll be stronger on Friday than we are today.

As for the Agenda DVD, we can't say enough about it. We'll be loaning it to our fellow rabid anti-communists in the coming days. Then we'll watch it again.

We highly recommend it.

Clinging in California

Even though we were politically naive in 1992, ignorant of terms "conservative" or "liberal", we still had a sense of common decency.

That is why we remember what Barbara Boxer said at UCLA that election year.

She stood on the stage with Dianne Feinstein and said the following: "Do you know why you should vote for us in November? Because we have boobs!"

We weren't there. We read that in the Los Angeles Times, the paper that endorsed both Democrat Senate candidates and the future impeached Bill Clinton. We cancelled our subscription shortly thereafter.

So what is more inappropriate? Boxer's statement, Feinstein allowing herself to be associated with Boxer's statement, the LA Times embrace of Boxer's statement, or the cartoon above?

People will have you believe in today's Dem-losing environment that things were 'better' back 'then'. Not in California.

So we're scanning the 100's of headlines as we do each day for this site's home page, and we find this Reuters headline: Democrats Cling to Narrow Lead in California.

It was the word "cling" in the headline that caught our eye, but it was the photo that gave us a reason to skip lunch. How did that picture get past the biased screeners. Are they putting Boxer out to pasture?

You'd think Pelosi would share her Botox contacts with her fellow California Democrat.

Here are some of our endorsements, two of which are proud owners of our Commie Obama Rally Cap!

There. Now we can think about food again.

Symbolic

English Russia has some pics of inflatable Soviet military props. Despite their embarrassing bankruptcy in 1991, their ideology lives on right here in the US. But like all communists, they intimidate with lies and props.

Next time you hear the MSM tell you that the Dems are rising in the polls, or that their redistribution polices are gaining popularity, just think of this picture.

Friday Afternoon Cigar

We smoked a Rocky Patel Sun Grown as we watched the leaves fall.

This past week Jerry Brown called his opponent for CA Governor, Meg Whitman, a "whore". Moonbeam's wife is trying to take the blame, but we here at Ushanka.us don't take the bait. We know Jerry said it, and we know what word his wife would have used.

That term is inappropriate for Meg Whitman. She took a Pez Dispenser auction website to a global service that has helped nearly everybody sell and find items they could not have sold/found otherwise. (She also helped the early risk-takers, aka shareholders.) Take our Commie Obama Hat and Leninade for instance. There is only one place you can buy those superb products - on ebay!

So while Meg isn't a whore, we are. We have whored ourselves out to several of our favorite blogs: Knowledge is Power, MoonBattery, and others are coming online soon, which we'll post here.

While we didn't offer our body, we did offer $10 donations to the blogs for every Ushanka/Leninade order they produce.

Sleazy bourgeoise whoreness, eh!?

So follow the links above to go spread the wealth to these fine blogging patriots. You may not realize, but blogging costs money, in server hosting, photoshop licenses, etc. You know you'll want to wear this hat on November 3rd!

Remember to leave the $$ on the dresser.

Back From The Brink?

So say's Our Dear Leader.

Bankrupting America suggests we are still at the Brink, and won't be moving anytime soon.

Hugo and the Hat

"Hugo and the Hat". Sounds like a children's book!

Remember when our country frowned on news like this?

Reuters:

MOSCOW (Reuters) – Russia agreed on Friday to build Venezuela's first nuclear power station after talks between Presidents Dmitry Medvedev and Hugo Chavez in the Kremlin.

Russian nuclear agency chief Sergei Kiriyenko and Venezuelan Foreign Minister Nicolas Maduro signed a deal on "the construction and use of an atomic power station on the territory of Venezuela," after the talks.

Kudos to Bill

Defeating liberalism progressivism communism is easy. Get informed. Make your case. Stand your ground.

Example - Bill O'Reilly:



A little passion, and some humor at their expense is helpful too.
