I didn’t believe it myself, but this comes from a reliable source. Rich liberals like Warren Buffett, Bill Gates, Richard Branson, Ted Turner along with a host of the richest Democrat politicians including Nancy Pelosi, Jane Harmon, John Kerry and Al Gore have found the true meaning of Christmas and are banding together to give away money in San Francisco. They were all so upset that the tax rates remained in place for themselves, that they decided to go ahead and give it back to the people who really need it. How admirable is that?

You heard it here first. Although the date hasn’t been announced yet, these humanitarians are planning to give away $100,000 a person to the poorest San Francisco street dwellers in order to help make their lives better this Christmas. I am told it was supposed to be a secret so that what happened in Detroit didn’t happen in the City. But now the cat is out of the bag.

I am here to tell you I am really impressed by this gesture.

The challenge, I’m told, comes in how to choose who gets the money. Several ideas have been proposed at a secret meeting in the Pacific Heights home of a wealthy Democrat supporter who asked to remain nameless.

“We Democrats have long talked about helping the poor; now it is time to put our money where our mouths are,“ he said. “But then we thought about how were we going to start? With all the needy people in San Francisco we had to decide how to go about selecting the beneficiaries of our generosity.”

Right now the plan is to have people call a toll free number and register for their opportunity to receive the gift. Since the total amount of the pool has not been announced, we’re not sure how many people will actually end up being recipients. But what a great idea.

UPDATE: After careful thought, Democrats decided to hire union officials to disperse the money. After negotiations were settled, after salary, pensions and health care benefits to workers, there wash’t enough left to give away, so the idea has been shelved for now. Better luck next Christmas!

• Global Climate Change – Because global warming is being disputed and all the manipulations have been exposed, the liberals, in order to keep the public upset and thus keep their political agenda on track, have made a concerted effort to call it “climate change” because of all the snow storms and colder temperatures we are experiencing. People are realizing the planet is not warming after all. However, Climate Change activists are saying these cold temperatures mean nothing and we’re stupid for believing it does. So how come warm temperatures last summer meant global warming but this year abnormally strong snow storms and colder temperatures doesn’t mean global cooling? Another example of liberal hypocrisy.
• Green Technology – This one annoys me because all the advertisers are picking up on the catch phrase. First of all, there is nothing we use for energy that doesn’t first come from the planet earth. What makes it green? Because it uses the sun? What about those horribly toxic batteries needed to make the Prius work? And it’s not like we are importing materials from outer space or other planets. By listening to the “Orange Oil” ad for termites you would think that everything that comes from a plant is green and healthy. What about hemlock which comes from a plant? What about arsenic which comes from old Mother Earth’s crust? By the way, if you listen to KSFO there is a solar company advertising that would have you think your electric meter would run backward if you used their product. WRONG! We have solar panels. They are hooked up to the PG and E grid. Our meter is ALWAYS running forward. It is the amount of electricity we send back to the grid and how much we use during peak versus off peak hours that makes the difference in what we pay for power. Truth? We are not saving much, if anything, by having solar. Another SCAM! But it’s the good intentions that counts, right?
• Renewable Energy – If you have solar panels it is considered renewable. However, the sunshine that generated your energy yesterday does not go up and come back around to be used again the next day. It is different sunlight. Of course, in a real sense, everything is recycled over time. For example, the water we drink today is the same water that drowned the chariots in the bible time. It just keeps getting recycled. But then this is also true of petroleum and other fossil fuels. It just takes longer for them to “renew”. However, you won’t hear this kind of talk from environmental activists. This is just another “feel good” term for liberals and an annoying catch phrase for people like me.
• Bi-partisan – When conservatives and Republicans move to the “center” to agree with liberals. What is it called when Democrats move to the center and agree with conservatives and Republicans? Answer: fantasy.

This is by no means a comprehensive list. It is just the first entry in my Liberal Lexicon. If anyone has suggestions for words they would like to see on the list, please e-mail editor@fedupnetwork.com and I will add them to a later post.

Obama’s health care plan will be written by a committee whose head says he doesn’t understand it,
passed by a Congress that hasn’t read it and whose members will be exempt from it,
signed by a president who smokes,
funded by a treasury chief who did not pay his taxes,
overseen by a surgeon general who is obese,
and financed by a country that is broke.

What could possibly go wrong?

I think we should make the DMV part of the Federal government and forget about letting the states run them. This would do a couple of things:

• Make driving laws universal from state to state – thus, no more picking on out of state drivers as bad
• Enable a smooth transition of melding the records of the DMV, the IRS and the new health plan

Here’s why. Think of the time you will save. You go in for a colonoscopy and you can get your driver’s license renewed, register your car, have a tax audit and buy stamps at the same time… even from the same guy! I love this idea.

Can you picture the scene? Here you are on a gurney about to be put under for the procedure and they snap your picture, fingerprint you (and take any other samples they need at the same time for your file) and then sell you a roll of stamps while taking the money directly from your bank account. Beautiful. I may have been wrong about this government run health care thing.

Medical school will have to be extended though. It will necessarily include courses on tax law and motor vehicle codes. An enterprising doctor may even choose to include smog stations so they can run a tube up your car’s exhaust while he runs a tube up yours.

Remember, folks, the Democrats will not always be running the government. What they think is a good idea now, could fast become a nightmare when the “enemy” party starts running things. Of course, I’m sure liberals think the bureaucracy will always be so big that there is always be friendlies in high positions. But they didn’t trust Bush’s departments even though they were filled with the opposite party because he refused to play partisan politics… to his disadvantage.

Let’s help keep government smaller than it would be if they take over a huge chunk of the private sector. People did not like the TARP bailout or the auto bailout. They are really against this health care take over. Democrats beware. There is an election coming up in 2010! Of course, you could always get a job with the Post Office!
