You Didn’t Build That, We Did.

My favorite part of reading articles these days are the comments people leave underneath. I love the instant reaction and the ability for the readers to be heard. Sometimes, the people leaving thoughts should be given their own byline. I came across this today in the comments section of a random article that I think deserves reprinting.

“You didn’t build that . . .”

- President Obama

July 27, 2012

Dear Mr. Obama,

Normally when you utter something so colossally idiotic I tend to see what everyone else does and if its all been done I’m not going to throw out my opinion on the matter. The “Obama Depression” is about to claim the last bit of my 401K and I’m trying to get this new idea off the ground so I’m a bit busy. This little letter writing gig is a voluntary effort, with all due respect to those who seem to think I’m a some famous writer grand standing their true self, or some rich guy doing this because I need to vent. I’m none of that. If I did make that claim I would be as bad as you. Because through out these reactions to that utterance I realized something.

You, Sir, did not build you. Please allow me to explain. Every step of your life has been prepared for you. Every moment you were pampered and buffed for the next phase like some kind of imaginary character in a television program. From your mother to your girlfriends to your job history and your lack of real world skills. It’s frankly miraculous that you kept the facade up for so long. To repeat; you did not build you, someone else did that.

Well, us common folk “Joe Doakes’s” out in the hinterland don’t have that option. We don’t have the safety net of a group of rich socialist friends that are going to protect us at every turn. We are on our own. And for every improvement we make in our lives there is someone out there, thanks to all of your class rhetoric, that thinks they have a legitimate claim on my labor or my dwindling wealth.

You never felt blame. You never had to stare back at your wife and explain why that second mortgage isn’t getting paid. You never had to live with less so others could have more. You never had to sacrifice what you wanted so someone else could have a shot. You never built a life on merit and exposure to risk nor attempted to serve the public good in the vain of politicians like Henry Clay. You never did that.

There’s this guy running for office. His name is Mitt Romney. He has done nothing but that. No one told him when to “zig” or “zag.” No one told him to do what when. He just did it. Mr. Romney is a “Do the right thing” machine. That’s what he does. He’s like one of those perpetual motion machines that you could buy. You can just count on it. That’s what America needs, someone it can count on to relieve it from the madness that is Washington D.C. by any means necessary. Because if you haven’t noticed you didn’t build that city.

We did.

Respectfully,

Joe Doakes

A New Standard of Crap Journalism; Guilty Until Proven Innocent

If you remember during the Republican primary, Herman Cain was railroaded by strange accusations from a woman who claimed she met him, a married man, at a hotel and was then shocked and outraged when he “groped” her. There were no witnesses, no police report and no evidence, just her word and Gloria Alred’s muscle. (Alred, when not playing a judge on daytime TV, only litigates against Republicans running for office whom she can destroy by her mere presence.) Cain sustained multiple Alred bombs until finally succumbing to the pressure and stepping out.

The media went along with Alred’s claims, never questioning the background of this Chicago woman who at one time lived in Obama-goon David Axelrod’s building. (I don’t even remember her name, nor do I care to.) She wasn’t important, it was taking out Cain that mattered. Since the media set a new standard of guilty until proven innocent, Kevin DuJan of HillBuzz and I set out to investigate claims made about rumors of President Obama’s sexual escapades with Larry Sinclair in the back of a limo in Chicago in the 90′s. After all, we had as much evidence as anyone in the press who was convinced Cain was a groping maniac. Sinclair has been telling his story to anyone who would listen since 2008, and none of the main press was among his audience.

Now the Romney tax return business has gone to the top of the headlines with Harry Reid declaring he got a phone call from an unnamed source who told him Romney hasn’t paid his taxes in 10 years. Instead of demand the source, the press has demanded Romney prove his innocence. Working from this example, it is now fair game to throw out any allegation ever insinuated about Obama and demand he prove otherwise. Here are a few accusations that might be fun to bat around.

*I’ve actually had a conversation with a NAMED source, Larry Sinclair, who says he performed oral sex on the president in the back of a limo possibly driven by Tony Rezko’s driver.

*Someone at Columbia said he believed Obama and his Pakistani roommate were lovers.

*There are rumors all over Chicago that Obama belonged to gay bathhouse “Man’s Country” before he was a senator

*Some say the reason we haven’t seen Obama’s school records is because he was a D student.

*Some say they saw Obama smoke crack

There are many more of these rumors and stories floating around because the press refuses to do its job and vet this man so I say it’s time to start writing about them as if they are facts (like the other media does to us) until someone proves otherwise. As far as I’m concerned, Barack Obama is the first crack-smoking gay president who flunked out of college.

Prove me wrong.

In the meantime, HillBuzz and I will be attempting to memorialize all the sites in Chicago where Obama had major events in his life like drug deals and gay liaisons. We may even get lucky and find the communist party headquarters where he attended meetings. (You didn’t hear that? Someone called and told us.)

Movie Theatre Desperation: Will the Tweens Show Up if We Allow Texting?

Poll: Should theater owners allow texting in movies? – latimes.com.

According to a report from the CinemaCon convention in Las Vegas by Deadline New York, Regal Entertainment Chief Executive Amy Miles said at a panel discussion that her theater chain had considered allowing some cellphone use during showings of “21 Jump Street.” At the same panel, Deadline reported, Greg Foster, chairman and president of filmed entertainment for IMAX, endorsed the idea at the same panel, saying teens may “feel a little handcuffed” by the ban on phone use.

This is a tough one for me. On one hand, I don’t like rude people in theaters (so much so that I once was the catalyst for a fist fight at the midnight showing of Star Wars Clone Wars where someone was nearly stabbed in the jugular with a broken beer bottle. Sweet home, Chicago!) On the other hand, I hardly ever go to theaters anymore so rude people frequenting the movies have no effect on me. I stopped going shortly after the melee at Star Wars but it wasn’t the fat lip.

Pre-School Eco-Bullying

Reblogged from sitting on the edge of the sandbox, biting my tongue:

I suppose it only counts as bullying because everything is bullying these days.

Being a busy girl, Yelena had a habit of not wiping her hands after washing, so her skin turned dry.  I talked to her about drying her hands, applied moisturizer several times a day, and in a few weeks her skin was baby soft again.  Then all of a sudden her hands got dry again.

This is why I homeschool. There is nothing worse than eco-terrorists scaring 3-year-olds.

The Hand That Rocks the Cradle Balances the Checkbook

After weeks of race-baiting with the Trayvon Martin case, the Democrats are at it again and this time they’re dipping their toes into Mommy Wars. Hillary Rosen, Democrat strategist, has let us all know again what she and the Left (especially faux feminists)  think of stay-at-home moms. You don’t count. Rosen let out her venom on CNN against Ann Romney.

‘What you have is, Mitt Romney running around the country saying, “Well, you know, my wife tells me that what women really care about are economic issues. And when I listen to my wife, that’s what I’m hearing.”

‘Guess what: his wife has actually never worked a day in her life. She’s never really dealt with the kind of economic issues that a majority of the women in this country are facing in terms of how do we feed our kids, how do we send them to school, and why do we worry about their future.’

Besides the obvious knock at motherhood and insinuating, not so subtly, that raising five children is somehow not work worthy of respect, she also assumes that most American women have to work in order to put food on the table and those who don’t simply live in the lap of luxury. Obama himself had this to say on the subject a few days ago at the White House forum for women (to which no conservative women were invited). As reported by the UK Daily Mail,

“Once I was in the state legislature, I was teaching, I was practicing law, I’d be traveling….And we didn’t have the luxury for her not to work.”

The idea that stay-at-home moms are financially able to do so is a popular one on the Left. The Democrats would have you believe that only rich women can stay home. This is a lie. On the contrary, staying at home is not a “luxury” but a sacrifice. Rosen chose to sacrifice her children for a high paying job in the Democrat Party. She could have given up pedicures, designer clothes, fancy cars and political power instead. It’s amazing what you can live without when you decide to do so. (At one point Rosen did stay home with her children for a while. I wonder if during that time she considered her ideas on the economy void.)

When Obama was a state senator in my home state of Illinois he brought home a salary of $60,000 plus an extra $32,000 as a guest lecturer at the University of Chicago. This combined salary is more than my family lives on right now and we have the same number of children and live in the same state. According to the Obamas’ lifestyle, however, it wasn’t enough for them (not surprising considering he and Michelle have a penchant for Wagyu beef and Wednesday night cocktail parties with celebrities.) You can’t serve Stevie Wonder canapes from the frozen food section at Aldi. It simply isn’t done.
