What are they up to now?

By Michelle Malkin  •  February 6, 2009 01:03 PM

I’m scheduled to appear on FNC’s Neil Cavuto show at around 4:15pm Eastern to talk about Obama’s next big step toward increased government meddling in the housing market. As I’ve been pointing out all week, the GOP’s bone-headed support for a massive mortgage entitlement plan is helping paving the way for this. The WSJ says much of what I’ve been saying in its editorial today.

I love what Dave Ramsey said yesterday on Neil’s show: “Desperate always reaps stupid.”

I want to point out again that only a handful of Republicans voted against the Ensign amendment yesterday. Only two of them — Jim DeMint and Jim Bunning — voted against it on fiscal conservative grounds.

Disheartening news. Ronald Reagan, whose birthday we celebrate today, must be shaking his head up above.

    I find it offensive he dictates to us about curbing healthcare costs while a cig dangles from his mouth.

    This whole thing is why we really need to support Rep. John Shadegg’s ‘Enumerated Powers Act’.

    It just so happens that Harry Reid really wants this vote to happen on a Friday night. Of course. Since very few people watch the news on Saturday (or read a Saturday paper)…this vote if it passes, will be just another thing that 90% of the Americans didn’t even know happened. Freaking Commies.

    Unfortunately, three tardies only make one before-school detention… but if he’s late to detention, then we get to double it.

    Dead or Alive Info also lists today as Sarah Brady’s birthday. Talk about irony.

    Happy birthday, Gipper. Please forgive our party in exile.

    Speaking of “desperate always reaps stupid”, notice how quickly President Obama has changed his message of hope to a message of fear:

    We gather because we have chosen hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord. – Jan 20, 2009

    And if nothing is done… Our nation will sink deeper into a crisis that, at some point, we may not be able to reverse. – Feb 5, 2009

    And I thought Republicans held the patent on fear mongering.

    tiredofit08 – you are in our prayers. My daughter’s last day on her job is today. She’s in Dallas and scared to death. What jobs there are there are being offered at cuts of $10,000 a year in some industries.

    The only solution I can see to get this massive spending spree resolved is for the bill to pass. Not for any of the reasons the Dems are offering though. By 2010 is will be such a dismal failure that even some of ‘Bambi’s supporters will jump ship. By 2012 we’ll have bread/soup lines, along with the requisite robberies, looting, and genuine chaos. No food bank on the planet will be able to feed the number out of work and homeless. Things are looking very grim.

    Michelle, I have a question I haven’t heard anyone ask yet. All of Obama’s financial advisers are wealthy Americans who seem to support, or encourage the strengthening of U.S. financial markets by spending money on expanding government. Here is my question:

    Which of Obama’s advisers have created their personal wealth by investing their money on government spending?

    Am I wrong in thinking that their wealth came as a result of capitalism, not socialism?

    Hopefully not THAT SARA BRADY. But my next brick of ammo will be dedicated to the Bradys’.

    What are they up to now?
