BZ is Dead -- Long Live the Bloviating Zeppelin

This is my last post on Bloviating Zeppelin.

I started this blog in June of 2004.

It is time -- for any number of reasons -- to move on.

My new blog:

Please go there now and make your comments, should you so desire.

My most sincere thanks to each and every one of you who helped me along during these crazy, tumultuous, "interesting" and confusing years.

Obama Hates Business: PROOF

Campaigning in Roanoke, Virginia on July 13th -- just a few days ago -- Mr Obama had this to say regarding his viewpoint on businesses in the nation:



That's correct, businessmen and -women, you didn't build your business -- someone else did.

You heard and read that correctly, according to Mr Obama.

That is how fervently Mr Obama despises private business.

The full transcript is here at WhiteHouse.gov, should you disbelieve me.

From Kerry Picket at The Washington Times:

President Barack Obama addressed supporters in Roanoke, Virginia on Saturday afternoon and took a shot at the business community. President Obama dismissed any credit business owners give themselves for their success:

There are a lot of wealthy, successful Americans who agree with me -- because they want to give something back. They know they didn’t -- look, if you’ve been successful, you didn’t get there on your own. You didn’t get there on your own. I’m always struck by people who think, well, it must be because I was just so smart. There are a lot of smart people out there. It must be because I worked harder than everybody else. Let me tell you something -- there are a whole bunch of hardworking people out there. (Applause.)

Mr Obama goes on to say that business creators owe massive debts to their teachers, their local bridge builder. That's like saying I'm a good cop because my parents had milk delivered for a while to the house in the 50s. Or that we had our garbage collected by two guys on a truck once a week.

Mr Obama is so beyond the pale of human ken as to be, in my opinion, not only ludicrous but patently dangerous.

He is biased, racist, a massive Leftist, schooled at the feet of persons such as Saul Alinsky, William Ayers and of course his father, Barack Hussein Obama -- a Communist.

He is pathologically obsessed with race as, I believe, is his wife Michelle. He is arrogant, naive and, in my opinion, possesses NPD.

Victor Davis Hanson sums up Mr Obama's racial obsession quite succinctly here:

Never has America been more assimilated, integrated, and intermarried — as is evident in everything from politics to popular culture, from statistics to anecdotes. Yet from late 2007 to 2012, Barack Obama has been establishing new rules of racial referencing. In general, his utterances follow a disheartening pattern. When he is ahead in the polls, has won an election, and is not campaigning, then he emphasizes the unity of the country. But when he is running for president, or campaigning for others, or sinking in the polls, he and his closest associates predictably revert to charges of racial bigotry, albeit usually coded and subtle. America is redeemed when it champions the Obamas, but retrograde when it does not.

In a word: precisely.

Mr Obama believes in government: HIS. He believes in race: HIS. He believes in nothing else.

Because you became successful, because you aren't government, because you don't RELY on government -- you, Mr and Ms Private Business-Builder: you can go to Hell.

Because he's going to tax you out of existence just as he's going to tax private Healthcare out of business. Just you watch.

Pushing The Envelope, Part X:

The human being has always pushed the envelope into and beyond the realms of danger. This is the tenth of various weekend postings displaying how restless Man is with the mundane and how he purposely crosses the threshold into danger willingly -- and sometimes unwillingly.

In this episode Jetman -- Yves Rossy -- flies through Arizona's Grand Canyon in May of 2011, in a beautifully-produced video. Please expand and play with headphones.



"Jetman" is powered only by four tiny jet turbines built for models. He can fly for a period of ten minutes. He carries two additional items: a small throttle for the engines and an altimeter. That's it.

When flying through the Grand Canyon, as you might imagine, it's a good idea to have a plan in place should you run out of fuel. Because, you see, the Grand Canyon is generally over a mile deep. And, at the bottom, it's either very wet or very hard. Or both.

Luckily, as you can see, he has a parachute and a grand support staff.

Under Obama: When will you start to make ANY profit?

Why yes, that would be in your 7th month.

Right around now. Perhaps.

That means: you will have to work over 6 months in order to pay off your government and even begin to see any modicum of profit.

I'm sorry folks, but that is simply obscene.

From CNSNews.com:

(CNSNews.com) – This year, Americans have to work until July 15 to pay for the burden of government, more than six months.

In a new report, Americans for Tax Reform (ATR) has calculated that Americans will spend a total of 197 days toiling to pay for the cost of government.

"Cost of Government Day is the date of the calendar year on which the average American worker has earned enough gross income to pay off his or her share of the spending and regulatory burden imposed by government at the federal, state and local levels," reads the report.

The report, Cost of Government Day, shows that Americans will work 88 days to pay for federal spending; 40 days for state and local spending; and 69 days for total regulatory costs.

"From a different perspective, the cost of government makes up 54.0 percent of annual gross domestic product (GDP)," reads the report. "What's more, the largest tax hike in the nation's history is scheduled to take place at the end of 2012 unless Congress acts to protect taxpayers. If this tax increase is allowed to hit, COGD [Cost of Government Day] could permanently be pushed back into August and beyond."

Yes, that's correct.

You're taking, as the American Taxpayer, over 7 months to even begin to migrate from the red into the black.

Look around you. Realize that the Non-Producers are demanding you work longer, harder and more diligently and consistently. Despite your own personal budgetary trials and tribulations. And despite governments on every angle leveling devastating rules, regulations and tariffs on ever-burgeoning aspects of your life.

Government intrusion predominates. Freedoms wither and die. Regulations and taxes run amok.

To the American Taxpayer: just how much will you take?

Drudge hints: Condi Rice for Romney's VP?

Admittedly, I failed to see this coming.

I would have enjoyed perhaps Tom McClintock, Paul Ryan, Allen West, Marco Rubio, Bobby Jindal or any number of other young guns. I did not see the possibility of Condoleezza Rice being considered. I thought she had made her prior refusals quite clear -- but that was -- as we may all recall -- for the presidential spot, not VP.

That said, I'd take Rice over any number of inept, staid, corrupt, decrepit "Old Republicans" one molecule away from their brethren and sistren across the aisle.

Peggy Noonan of the Wall Street Journal writes -- as many people inherently know but mostly refuse to verbalize -- that Obama "seems to view politics as his weary duty, something he had to do on his way to greatness." And that Condi Rice would be a "brilliant choice" as VP.

Even Limbaugh wonders: "Condi?"

Let me get the obvious up front and out of the way. She is more "black" than Obama -- because that actually matters to some blacks. [That's a massive topic for another day. -BZ] She is more educated than Obama. She has infinitely more experience than Obama as the 66th Secretary of State under Bush. She was a poli-sci professor at Stanford, Bush's National Security Advisor in his first term and is, well, female. She had to overcome incredible obstacles in her way. She is a concert-level pianist. Under Wikepedia:

Rice was a Democrat until 1982, when she changed her political affiliation to Republican, in part because she disagreed with the foreign policy of Democratic President Jimmy Carter,^[16][17] and because of the influence of her father, who was Republican. As she told the 2000 Republican National Convention, "My father joined our party because the Democrats in Jim Crow Alabama of 1952 would not register him to vote. The Republicans did."^[18]

Imagine that. Those evil Republicans.

Any thoughts?

BZ

P.S.
Here is Condoleezza Rice as portrayed by the loving, accepting, tolerant, understanding, sensitive, inclusive and benevolent Leftists/Demorats:


Because, after all, that's what you do to a black female in Modern Day Demorat America who isn't an immediate adherent of your Leftist philosophy. Ruin her.

If you're a black, you're a Demorat. If you aren't, you're a traitor and slated for despicable ruination.

Condi Rice thinks that anyone with their pants below their underwear looks ludicrous.

Starting in Fornicalia First:

What do Vallejo, Mammoth Lakes, Stockton and now San Bernardino have in common?

They're Fornicalia cities that have become bankrupt as, unlike your glorious federal government which can, they cannot print their own money.

People say: "no, the economy really isn't that bad. Mr Obama really isn't that bad."

Seriously?

Within the next year you're about to wake up one morning and discover you have no private health insurance, your sales taxes are akin to Spain's, and your arse is bleeding from its federal pounding.

Muslim Brotherhood to Egypt's President Morsi: "Destroy the pyramids"

Because Muslims do not build and advance; they kill and destroy. And this is only in keeping with that ancient, time-tested trend. From FrontPageMag.com:

According to several reports in the Arabic media, prominent Muslim clerics have begun to call for the demolition of Egypt’s Great Pyramids—or, in the words of Saudi Sheikh Ali bin Said al-Rabi‘i, those “symbols of paganism,” which Egypt’s Salafi party has long planned to cover with wax. Most recently, Bahrain’s “Sheikh of Sunni Sheikhs” and President of National Unity, Abd al-Latif al-Mahmoud, called on Egypt’s new president, Muhammad Morsi, to “destroy the Pyramids and accomplish what the Sahabi Amr bin al-As could not.”

Currently, in what the International Criminal Court is describing as a possible “war crime,” Islamic fanatics are destroying the ancient heritage of the city of Timbuktu in Mali—all to Islam’s triumphant war cry, “Allahu Akbar!”

Much of this hate for their own pre-Islamic heritage is tied to the fact that, traditionally, Muslims do not identify with this or that nation, culture, heritage, or language, but only with the Islamic nation—the Umma.

Accordingly, while many Egyptians—Muslims and non-Muslims alike—see themselves as Egyptians, Islamists have no national identity, identifying only with Islam’s “culture,” based on the “sunna” of the prophet and Islam’s language, Arabic. This sentiment was clearly reflected when the former Leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, Muhammad Akef, declared “the hell with Egypt,” indicating that the interests of his country are secondary to Islam’s.

I once again proffer what history and time have managed to immure regarding the bulk of Islam as predominantly practiced in the Middle East: it is a religion of death, oppression, violence and misogyny, adhered-to by barbarians, the ignorant, the soft-brained, the tribal, the feudal, with this in primary mind:

Me against my brother, me and my brother against my cousins; me, my brother and my cousins against our nonrelatives; me, my brother, my cousins and friends against our enemies in the village; all of these and the whole village against the next village."

And let us not forget taqqiyah.

This is already occurring in Britain:

From the UK MailOnline:

Islamic extremists have called on British Muslims to establish three independent states within the UK.

The notorious Muslims Against the Crusades (MAC) group have named Yorkshire towns Bradford and Dewsbury and Tower Hamlets in East London as testbeds for blanket sharia rule.

The medieval 'emirates' would operate entirely outside British law, according to a document on the MAC website.

And did we ever think of this?

Egypt is about to be in control, under Muslim Brotherhood rule, of the Suez Canal.

Uh, no; not about to be. It is under "President" Morsi -- a member of the Muslim Brotherhood himself. See above.

Let me get down to even more fundamental basics, the first aspect of which is widely-known to American soldiers serving in the Middle East:

Women are for procreation; men are for pleasure. The epitome of religious hypocrisy but -- shhhh -- don't speak of the obvious.

And finally, as I've written for years: "Islam is as Islam does."

Period.

Reflections on ObamaKare:

"You can't tell how good the day was until the night has come."
- Old Axiom

The final arguments are not yet in.

Voices on both the Left and Right are crowing about the Roberts SCOTUS decision in re ObamaKare.

To listen to it, both sides would portray themselves as having won. I submit: no one has "won." Because there is no such thing as a "win" to pull out of ObamaKare.

There is only this:

A LETTER TO MY NIECES and NEPHEW:

I know you voted for Obama.

He was your first federal vote.

You voted for him because you were taught in your Public Education venues that base Caucasoids were and are inherently despicable and responsible for the bulk of what's wrong with history.

In our own nation -- and around the globe.

You were taught to be GOWPs: Guilty Overeducated White People. You were raised in Paradise (Coronado, Fornicalia) and doted upon by dutiful parents. You went to Fornicalia universities as well.

But now, you are the racial miNORity instead of the maJORity in not only Fornicalia but soon to be so around the nation. And you think me racist by dint of my merest mentioning of race.

With this in mind, I submit: you have voted for your own terrible future conditions and early demise.

You may be like your GOWP Caucasoid kind already.

Your kind won't have children. And if they discover a pregnancy they'll likely abort. Because they can or because it's inconvenient. If they actually bring a child to term it will be by mistake or by a one-time singular choice. After many weeks of anguish. Bottom line? I suspect you or your peers won't have kids.

And what is your devotion to your parents? Will you take them into your personal homes when they require intensive care? They will require intensive care. They will have health problems. They will have mobility problems. Just like my father did. And your grandfather.

My guess: they're on their own. My two brothers. His wife. Because you will have your own lives and they won't wish to intrude.

Which means that, like your parents, you'll be literally "on your own" when you get older and riddled with disease and infirmities. You won't have kids to help and, if you do, they'll be even more distracted and uninvolved than you were.

You'll only have your wonderful Government to assist. The Government and future you assured by voting for Mr Obama. Your healthcare, resultingly, will be conducted with all the kindness, loyalty, care, efficiency and professionalism of your local DMV. And administered by bureaucrats, not doctors. Cost and age will be the only considered factors. The older you get, the less valuable you become.

So here's YOUR future under Mr Obama:

• Death Panels
• Excessive taxes
• Health care rationing
• Lack of doctors
• Lack of nurses

Which will equate to this:

Your final days won't be covered by your children. You didn't have any.

You were born alone and you have the mandate that you will die alone.

You will find your final days shoved -- if you still have a semblance of life about you -- into a small room with another ten individuals.

And further, because you are Caucasoid, you will find your Caretakers speaking anything but English. And ignoring your needs because you are. Because when you think it's not about race -- there are others who think differently. Open your eyes. Start looking around. In Fornicalia you'd best have an excellent grasp of Spanish, Tagalog or Jamaican Patois. Start learning now.

THIS is what you have guaranteed under ObakaKare.

About ten or twenty years in the future. But, because you are ignorant and short-sighted, Mr Obama has ALREADY taken advantage of you. Because if ObamaKare holds and, moreover, if he acquires a second term. . .

And if you don't think this is your future -- ?

Then I might actually -- for a second or two -- feel sorry for you.

Bottom line: "There is no fixing stupid."

Good luck with that Obama vote. Good luck with Mr Obama's dystopia.

You'd best learn Spanish and quickly. If you move east, adhere to Islam.

This isn't a Brave New World. It's a quivering, apologistic, simpering, cowardly New World.

You weren't born alone. Both your parents were there.

But be prepared to die alone.

And with no one who cares about you around you. Your loving parents will have long since passed away.

Oakland Raider BEN DAVIDSON: Dead at 72

Oakland Raider Ben Davidson has passed away of prostate cancer, at the age of 72, on Tuesday, July 3rd.

At 6'8" and 280 pounds, his handlebar moustache predominant -- Ben Davidson kicked major ass for the Oakland Raiders as a defensive end from 1964 to 1971.

Benjamin Earl Davidson was born on June 14th of 1940, and passed away on July 3rd, age 72.

He also played some characters in film -- Conan.

Ben Davidson will always be #83 to me.

He brought the Nasty to Oakland.


Further, Ben Davidson was my football player in the 70s.

DOJ: We won't prosecute Holder for contempt

What was mostly UNcovered by the DEM/MSM over the weekend:


From The Washington Post:

The Justice Department has told House leaders that Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr.’s decision to withhold certain documents about a flawed gun operation from Congress is not a crime and he will not be prosecuted for contempt of Congress.

Deputy Attorney General James M. Cole explained the decision, which was expected, in a letter to House Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio). The letter was released publicly Friday, just over a week after President Obama invoked executive privilege to withhold the documents.

In his letter, Cole said the decision not to prosecute Holder conforms to long-standing Justice Department practice in both Democratic and Republican administrations.

Again, the federal government elites skate on crimes that otherwise would place you and me under immediate arrest.

That's like making the Council of American Rattlesnakes responsible for the review of every rattlesnake bite in the country. Their series of conclusions: "We're rattlesnakes."

I refer again to a very important quotation from John F Kennedy:

Those who make peaceful revolution impossible, make violent revolution inevitable.”

There is a breaking point for the American Taxpayer.

That breaking point is approaching.

Listen up, DC. You ignore the American Taxpayer to your own upcoming detriment.

Drudge: DC To Be Dark For Days

DC was dark the moment Mr Obama took office. And I make no reference to the intrinsic nature of melanin, either. I make reference to the shaded and freedom-robbing stance of his policies down to the uncaring, arrogant, naive, inexperienced and darker nature of his very soul.

Mr Drudge merely aggregates the obvious, in my opinion.

That said, The Washington Post writes:

With much of Montgomery County still without power and ongoing 911 problems continuing across Northern Virginia on Sunday afternoon, local officials vowed to press utilities to restore service more quickly.

“I will not accept the timetable of July the 6th, said Montgomery County Executive Isiah Leggett (D), shortly after Pepco announced some homes would not have their power restored until Friday or even later. “Having our citizens go seven days without utilities in my opinion is not the kind of service we should expect.”

Maryland declared liberal leave for all non-essential state employees. But all federal agencies are set to open Monday, though officials said workers could take unscheduled leave or telework.

District government, however, is expected to be open on Monday, officials said. Dozens of city traffic signals remain without power. But Paul Quander, the District’s deputy mayor for public safety and justice, said traffic control officers will be in place at anticipated trouble spots for the Monday morning commute.

At 7 p.m., about 608,000 Washington-area businesses and households — one in three of the region’s electric customers — remained out of service, according to data furnished on utility websites.

Cell phone service crashed in DC. Electric lines were down.

Some train passengers were stranded for 2o hours.

You can anticipate, however, that the American Taxpayer will be stranded and then systematically cut down in the next four years if Mr Obama takes November and, with upcoming SCOTUS appointments, the entire nation will be stranded, cast adrift -- only to capsize in the next 20 years or -- much less time.

P.S.
All the while -- thank God, thank Jesus! [or should I say: thank Obama, thank Holder! (same thing, just ask them)] -- White House salaries continue to bloat and swell.

And even better news: [Hooray! Hooray!]:

Wall Street Journal Chief Economist Stephen Moore says 75% of the ObakaKare bill will fall on those making $120,000 or LESS.

So: thanks, Mr Obama! Thanks for sticking it -- once again -- to the Average American Taxpayer! You sure taught those Fat Cat Politicians a thing or two:
