Humor: Democrat-speak - translation guide

The bold statement is what Democrats say followed by the English translation.

Our opponents refuse to compromise on this issue: The Republicans refuse to do everything we want.

That charge is outrageous: That charge is true but you shouldn't have brought it up in public.


Honey I need a little quiet time right now: I got drunk and drove a car containing a campaign worker I was boffing off a bridge. She's dead, the car is at the bottom of a tidal pool, and I have influential relatives to call and people to bribe before I call the cops so can you cut me a little slack?

Every vote must be counted in this election: Except for the military vote because they tend to go Republican.

The era of big government is over: But the era of Godzilla sized government is just beginning if I can help it.

I did not have sexual relations with that woman: We had sex on every piece of furniture in the White House.

I think we need to take a closer look at what's going on in this industry: I think we need to strangle this industry with red tape and new regulations until it's so screwed up that we have to take over.

We must address the root causes of this problem: We must not do anything to effectively address this problem. Instead we must raise taxes and pour dump trucks worth of money into whatever unrelated issue we have decided is the cause of the problem.

No justice, no peace: Give us money and we'll find someone else to bother.

He's in the pocket of big oil: He was once seen filling up the tank of his car with gas.

I didn't inhale: I was so stoned that I thought I could fly.

I have no information about where my former intern is: That's technically true. I told the guys I hired to kill her that I didn't want to know any details. 

Video: Dem. Congressman freaks out when lie was challenged.



Defending his vote for Obamacare, Rodriguez claims:  "If we had not done anything in the next eight years based on CBO, congressional budget office, numbers it would have cost us $4.1 trillion."  Rep. Rodriguez lied.  Here are the final CBO and Joint Committee on Taxation cost and revenue estimates for Obamacare. Where exactly does it say that doing nothing would cost $4.1 trillion? Where exactly does it say passing Obamacare would save us $4.1 trillion?

It doesn’t.  On the contrary, it states the opposite as
CBO Director Doug Elmendorf actually wrote about Obamacare this May: "The central challenge is straightforward and stark: The rising costs of health care will put tremendous pressure on the federal budget during the next few decades and beyond.  In CBO’s judgment, the health legislation enacted earlier this year does not substantially diminish that pressure. In fact, CBO estimated that the health legislation will increase the federal budgetary commitment to health care (which CBO defines as the sum of net federal outlays for health programs and tax preferences for health care) by nearly $400 billion during the 2010-2019 period."

Video thiller: Dem. Congressman denies hearing of Panther case; bad move

Video clip of a town hall meeting in the 27th Congressional district of California, represented by Democrat Brad Sherman.  Congressman Sherman claims not to have heard of the New Black Panther case or its dismissal by the Justice Department.  And the crowd goes wild.  If video fails, go to http://divine-ripples.blogspot.com/2010/07/video-thiller-dem-congressman-denies.html

Video: Restoring market forces damaged by Obamacare

Repealing Obamacare is like putting toothpaste back in the tube.  It's messy but it must be done to kept the situation from getting worse.  The next steps involve reviving the market forces that will bring back the efficiencies.  If video fails go to http://divine-ripples.blogspot.com/2010/07/video-restoring-market-forces-damaged.html

Video description: Government programs and intervention were making a mess of the healthcare system, even before Obamacare was enacted. Repealing Obamacare is a good idea and will prevent a bad situation from becoming worse. This CF&P Foundation video explains, however, that repeal is just the first step if we want to genuinely restore a free market and create an efficient and cost-effective healthcare system. http://www.freedomandprosperity.org/

Say who ... ( is the racist). NAACP vs. Tea Party


This is them - the racially segregated NAACP.  They asked the Tea Party to denounce the racist elements in their organization.






This is us - the racially integrated Tea Party.

About summer of 2010. ( vacation, movies, drowning, blogging, video games... )

Political Involvement.
Lately, I've been so involved with the Tea Party, that I have been paying the older kids to mind the 2 year old whenever she comes to pull me away from my writing.  I remember the classic movie "Mary Poppins" and that is enough to remind me how the window of childhood quickly passes.  Also, building a good relationship with them now ensures my continued influence through adolescence and beyond.  So, I make them my priority.  Others may do a far better job on writing about politics or spirituality but I and I alone am tasked with the job of being a daddy to my kids.

Recreation.
Vacations were meant to recreate our energies for the coming year.  Watch the video for more about this.

Wasting time.
I remember that another word for love is time. One of the people I admire is Frank Padilla, a Harvard MBA who founded the ecclesial movement 'Couples for Christ'. Lately, I've been seeing a lot his pictures at Facebook with his grandchildren. Looks like he's been hanging around there a lot. The thought that came to mind was that someone like him can make $1000/hr. and yet he spends his time on an activity that can be done by a 12 year old girl. And knowing the man, he continues to work in the ministry. Then again, it is not all dollars and cents because if money can bring joy, then we wouldn't see suicide among rich folks.

Movie.
Toy Story 3 got good reviews from the Vatican newspaper. More here.

Water Safety.
Drowning can happen in seconds. And drowning does not look like drowning. There's no splashing or yelling. So, beware when the kids turn quiet. More here.

Videos: Funny - on Church decorum. De la bella figura

At Church, I really want to focus on the Lord and the celebration.  However, some ladies use the occasion for a fashion show.  Here are a couple of videos about the proper decorum when going to worship.

You don't have to wear Ann Taylor, even Wal-Mart is fine.
