 //  Entitlement is a Dirty Word

Posted on Friday, April 22nd, 2011 by Kevin Jackson

Obama’s budget, and it reminds me of the joke where the wife asks her husband ‘Should I get a bikini or an all-in-one?’ The husband replies, ‘Better get a bikini…you’ll never get it all in one.’

The budget is out of control because of the thing that Obama says makes America great: Entitlements. Who knew that giving money to the shiftless and lazy is the way we are supposed to measure ourselves?

Apparently America is at the pinnacle of its greatness, because we are giving it all away. I read recently that 50% of Americans are receiving entitlements, and more shocking 56% of illegal immigrants are receiving them. I can understand 10% of Americans receiving entitlements, because Conservatives are sensitive to the plight of the underprivileged, despite the lies from the lunatic Left. But 50% just helps me understand how many lazy Leftoids there are, who believe they are entitled to our money, so 40% of Americans are as worthless as a thong in Rosie O’Donnell’s wardrobe.

Like the aforementioned 40%, illegal aliens are entitled to nothing except to be thrown out of the bar. We’ve all seen the movies where the bouncers escort the troublemaker out of the trendy bar full of gorgeous hotties, and then toss him onto the sidewalk. Well America is the trendy bar full of gorgeous hotties called Conservatives. We value our club and we won’t let just anybody in. You have to dress right, and “know somebody,” or say hello to the pavement.

A NY Times columnist disagrees with me, and says that Republicans are trying to make entitlement a dirty word.  It really sucks that we are still only “trying.”  Entitlement is a dirty word. Life entitles you to nothing except to die, and even that doesn’t have to be pretty.

These days Liberals want to provide free residences, food, cars, cell phones, TVs, video games, and about everything else. It’s quite frankly ridiculous. It would be different if the government provided basics, and there was incentive to work for an X-Box. But the government will give you the X-Box too and free games, all confiscated from some hard-working Conservative.

When did it become a source of pride to get entitlements? Further, those who are best at defrauding the system are heralded in their communities, looked upon as policy gurus. In the old days, people hid the fact that they needed government assistance, and worked hard to get off the system. Not any more, Rip Van Winkle.

To remove the stigma of being a freeloader, the government has gone to the welfare credit card.  And in CA you can now buy liquor and cigarettes on your welfare credit card. CA is saying, “Screw it, things are so bad here, we might as well let you smoke and/or drink yourselves to death!”  You never know with the Left. These entitlements have gotten us...

the worst credit rating in the modern era. Nevertheless, entitlements did one good thing, and that is to expose just how inept at finance and economics Obama is.

The national debt adds $1M every 20 seconds. Imagine what national lottery we could have, if we had no debt? We could create a millionaire every 20 seconds, or roughly 4300 millionaires every day. How’s that for stimulus!

Despite our little debt problem Obama wants to keep printing money, keep spending money, and raise the debt ceiling. Why bother calling it a ceiling, since the debt ceiling has already been raised three times in The Time of O. Let’s just call it a moving target.

So what if we hit the debt ceiling? It’s not like the lights will go off in America. Will Lockheed stop building that next missile system, or will they just say, “Well looks like our #1 client is gonna be late for a bit?”  Given that our credit rating was lowered, I suspect our creditors already know what’s happening.

Yet, government credit cards are not being cut. Nobody’s threatening to repossess Air Force One and Obama is not hiding the presidential limos in a DC storage locker, and having Secret Service run interference from creditors. No, Obama is still living large, likely planning his next taxpayer-funded vacation.

The only thing we have done that is more stupid than allowing the Geri-curl and plus-sized spandex is the election of Obama. The New Black Panthers know it, Louis Farrakhan knows it, and Oprah knows it. Deal with it Liberal America, because you know it.

In the midst of a financial meltdown that cost the American taxpayers $1.4T, Obama and Geithner said to the Wall Street Journal that they are optimistic about the budget deficit.  How can you be optimistic about the budget deficit, seriously? That’s like being optimistic about being three months behind on your mortgage.  Surpluses make you happy, not deficits.

Obama’s solution is to attack the most productive people in America: The Conservative rich. The Liberal rich are the morons, but Conservative rich people work for a living and create jobs. They also create opportunity, the thing that people used to come to America to find, and not at the welfare office.

There is certainly enough history on the subject of tax increases that you would think Obama wouldn’t even consider such a lamebrain notion. But as Obama said in 2008 about raising the Capital Gains Tax, he would do it “…for fairness purposes.” Fair to whom?

When Maryland passed a higher tax rate on people earning $1 million a year or more, the number of millionaires living in Maryland fell from nearly 8,000 to fewer than 6,000. Maryland counted on $106 million in increase revenue, but instead revenues fell by $257 million. Oops.

Enough is enough America. Entitlement is a dirty word, unless you have earned what you are entitled to.

That’s my rant!

Could you please provide a specific real world example where something (i.e. an X Box) was taken away from a conservative and given to a person who did nothing to deserve or earn it. I just started reading your blog. I just cannot get with all the conspiracy theories and generalizations. When I was in my teens and early 20's I could subscribe to almost any well put argument about racial conspiracy theories and those of the rich to put down the poor. However I'm a bit older now and through some life experience it's really difficult to get with anything without proof. The point I'm trying to make is why do you make such blanket statements without proof. I would think that when we make our arguments, the best thing we could do is back it up with more than "I read or I saw on t.v." It would hold more water.

I guess this blog didn't have enough LINKS of proof, or are you just too lazy to click them? X-box was metaphorical, as I could have chosen a flat-screen TV, where there was a recent article of a woman receiving subsidized housing and food stamps had her 52" plasma tv stolen. I backed up this blog, but I can't make the blind see.

ATTRITION THROUGH ENFORCEMENT

If you want to see the 14.5 trillion dollar US deficit reduced, we must enforce our immigration laws. In 1986 Immigration Control and Reform Act was a zero-tolerance policy that was subverted by business interests. We cannot afford any more half measures, from the ongoing resistance of politicians like Senator Harry Reid (D-NV in the growing reaching empowerment of the TEA PARTY. Illegal Immigration is an incendiary issue, caused over decades of Washington lack of sympathy to US worker, with estimates of 20 million foreign nationals feeding of the welfare system they have—NOT–attributed too? The worst issue is the instant baby citizenship law, which has become a perpetual foothold for hundreds of thousands of illegal families annually and probably the most fiscally of expenditure for taxpayers. Our overcrowded through k-12 schools are suffering, with hospital emergency rooms not far behind.

For the price of an airline ticket or dodging the US border patrol they arrive here with many afflictions, knowing from distant dialogue, that American physicians must treat you under the law. Arizona Policing laws (SB1070) subject to rejection by the Supreme Court in the future have dealt a sharp blow to the radical Leftists, that evidence is proving the laws are having a positive effect. Huge numbers of illegal unwelcome persons are moving out to places unknown. Interesting enough that I read an article that even though radical activists are boycotting Arizona in hope of eroding their commerce, the reverse has happened. Average Americans have seen through Obama's Department of In-Justice and streamed into the State, guaranteeing high concentrations of tourists. The Dept of InJustice elevated by Obama's Liberal Progressive-Marxist Czars to attack Arizonans Governor Brewer's policing laws through the mostly Leftists courts, but an intense silence has reigned about Utah's unconstitutional push for a Guest worker program. Arizona has a high foreclosure rate, but it was caused by the real estate crash, not boycotts. In fact it seems Canadians escaping from the cold weather swept in, brought properties and even my Ex-wife portends to buy a home there.

So the State of Arizona has made a roundabout turn, and the State is thriving and the populations of economic illegal immigrants are leaving for new turf. With malleable States nearby like Sanctuary California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado this is their final destination. These have been economic aliens and they have already devastated some of the Border States, with public service opportunities. Utah–and the Mormon church interference, is shortly going to find out the predicament they set upon themselves. Thousands of welfare grabbers will materialize and the legitimate populace are not going to forgive the pro-amnesty legislators. This will quickly emanate as politicians will be scrambling for extra dollars to pay for schooling, health care, prison room and other entitlement programs. President Obama held a meeting with New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, Richard Trumka, leader of the AFL-CIO and a host of open border organizations and business lobbyists at the White House. In the Haven State of California they will still be climbing out of the 26 Billion Leftist extremist deficit, caused by the pandering illegal immigration occupation. In the 2012 Election there must be placed under careful scrutiny in the voting process, because with this overrun prominently by illegal aliens, including it's second runner up in the Southwest is Nevada. There is no doubt in my mind that illegal aliens, through such so-called obsolete entities as ACORN, fraudulently intervened in the political process in many States, by voting in large numbers.

Little is known because the conference was closed to the press media, reassured it will lead to a dead end. Their evident reason to be there is to push for a mass amnesty, even at a time when 10 million Americans are still unemployed. Most people have no conception of these ramifications of a full volume amnesty, better dive into the web pages of NumbersUSA or Judicial Watch. You are assured this is only two of a nationwide grassroots revolution of pro-sovereignty entities, whose main issue is the illegal alien occupation. But even more so join a local TEA PARTY because under no circumstances will any kind of amnesty be passed. Only if President Obama successfully is reelected will this matter come up for a vote and the TEA PARTY will fight this pretense tooth and nail. You break the law; you must pay a penalty for it. Another amnesty no matter the fact will just attract more and more foreign nationals across our borders or to our shores. We need to expand the E-verify programs and make it mandatory for businesses and in addition the feds need the same permanency for Secure Communities, to fingerprint every alleged criminal that is processed through police stations. There should be no exceptions to the rule, that anybody who enters the system must be thoroughly processed. This Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-San Jose) Congress women is obviously a hidden vile Leftist extremist, who doesn't mind foreign national committing crimes and don't want them entered in an ICE database. That's what emerged from Police records in the Sanctuary City of San Francisco, that a illegal gangster was released from jail and then went out to murder a father and two sons with an AK47.

The border is a volatile sticking point on illegal immigration, which other than around most cities and towns there is no real fencing. Its still is wide open to the drug cartels, the people smugglers and possible terrorist incursions according to Rancher Jim Chilton as stated this in his testimony. In a letter he drafted and claimed to the Department of Interior (DOI) and U.S. Department of Agriculture conference in Washington, that there was no border fence along 50 miles of his land. It should prove to all Americans, that there really is no serious attempt, to stop the inroad movement of foreign nationals no matter their intent? If there was illegal trespassing on sovereign land would be a felony, like Mexico and other countries.

Janet Napolitano should take a trip to the ranchers land, and then declare the border was secure. What a sickening joke. One thing is for sure, the promise to the people from the TEA PARTY is that their Senators and Congressman enact bills, to build the Double Layer Fence and restrict any new laws on immigration. Illegal immigration has many financially unexposed branches, that many remain hidden from public view. Importation of less than perfect professional skills is another form of visa fraud as a demand for cheap labor. For years, a million or more semi-skilled labor has been arriving through stealth amnesties. Attn: Our election system has been compromised, as in 4 States voter fraud has been detected from mostly non-citizens, so we must look towards some form of federal and State oversight. Absentee Ballots are the easiest method to cheat the registration system and could cause a massive change of direction for American Democracy.

And Remember buy AMERICAN. Or soon your job may disappear? Elect Donald Trump! He is a billionaire and owes nobody in either party favors. He will stop the Chinese ripping us off. We owe them just this year 300 Billion dollars. He will negotiate the Free trade Agreements, as they unfair to American industry, draining billions of dollars in inferior goods. It will end Communist Buildup a military on our dollars. He will remove the tax incentives to move businesses into Mexico or overseas such as Maytag. We should give visas to the highest representatives of skilled workers, who will never use welfare, and put the enforcement brakes on impoverished illegal foreigners once and for all.

Though I agree, this comment is WAY too long. Get a blog! Trump is NOT the best candidate. Though I agree with much about him, he is not a conservative. And his ego is out of control.

Right on Kevin! What nerve he has, "I just started reading your blog…" Those who know you love your humor and the biting sarcasm aimed at the progressives. Those who don't, want you to prove what you say. Hello, it's proven on every conservative blog and news site. But that requires a little self-help on the readers' part.

Your response was perfect. Keep up the good work and when are you coming to Hawaii??? We have a few conservatives here!

Man, I'm so tired of the left crying about the supposed "underprivileged" in this country. Most of those on assistance are fat, lazy slobs who have been programmed to do nothing but take. And where did they learn this behavior? Well our stellar public school system of course! Educating the public was supposed to make us smarter and more successful. Seems the billions spent on public schooling has failed close to half of the population.

I find it amazing that black conservatives never talk about what they are doing to improve black america. Seriously , they always go into this color blind society BS. For a people in thsi country to flourish you need advocacy. Hispanics have La Raza, Italians have KNight sof Columbus and many others; The Jewish Community has thiers. You go to a black conservative and ask hime what they are doing for black america and you'll here " Brother I just belive in one America" …What ever.

Affirmation action was instituted to insure that a resisitant white infrastructure was made to comply to federal mandates. If everyone is so nice now and we no longer need affirmative action ..why did so many white conservatives go out and buy guns once Obama was elected …..Dummy?

Why is it that black conservatives are always advocating the removal of something that is beneficial to blacks? How about forming education centers, literacy clinics, or mentoring some of these young black men that don't have their head on straight?

You don't have to like Obama but should try to help our people before you hurt them.

Agreed that liquor and ciqs are bad, but what's breaking our back are the other "entitlements," like houses, cars, and FREE MONEY! They have finally achieve equilibrium as 50% of the nation is now receiving entitlements!


Kevin Jackson says:
April 25, 2011 at 8:13 am

So true, chrismcm, as we are teaching our kids to be freeloaders! Then sending them home to lazy parents, if they even have more than one parent. Enough is enough.


Kevin Jackson says:
April 25, 2011 at 8:16 am

Because black conservatives don't BRAG about what they do. Since you asked I will tell you that I help get 108 kids adopted (72 black) last year, and have gotten over 600 kids adopted over the last seven years. I am part of a program that works with kids grade 4-8 to make sure they are learning, by providing "connectors" between child, teacher, and parent. Our program is night and day better than present system, and we have the data and results to prove it. Our programs have NO government "help," but strictly the efforts of many people raising money and working hands on in these projects. Now what have you done?


Kathy says:
April 25, 2011 at 9:06 am

Right you are. Trump has lots of good ideas but a conservative he is NOT.

Love your site, Kevin and love what you are doing! With people like you, we may have a fighting chance to turn this thing around. Keep up the great work!

The word 'entitled' only appears 4 times in the Constitution. Not once does it mention the fact that one citizen is 'entitled' to the property or assets of another citizen.
The "Debt Ceiling" should be renamed the Stratosphere Ceiling since it is so high we can see over it nor, get around it.

Conservatives are not the only people who work and pay taxes. I have worked hard to get where I am and to get what I have. I spend much of my time and money helping people who are less fortunate and I have no problem with the government using my tax dollars to do the same. This idea that people aspire to be destitute or immigrants come to this country with their hand out is based on ignorance, not fact. If we all get to choose where our tax dollars are going to be spent, I choose not to spend my tax dollars in Iraq (over a trillion dollars) or subsidies for large corporations.


Kevin Jackson says:
April 26, 2011 at 10:02 am

Corporations don't receive subsidies. If they don't get them, the price of your good go up. As for war, Obama has more than any other president in history. So much for that Nobel Peace Prize…


Downsouth says:
April 26, 2011 at 12:29 pm

Kevin'__You can sell anything to your hate the poor, hate Obama cool-aid drinkers, but a person with a brain won't buy what your selling. You agree with chrismcm that most of the underprivileged are "fat, lazy slobs". Pure ignorance. You give President Obama credit for more wars than any president in history, just as he is responsible for one of the worst ressions in history. Laughable spin. As for the corporate subsidies, the oil companies are getting more handouts than anyone and that's really helping with prices. Keep riding Obama straight to the top of the Tea Party. Look how well Trump is doing.


Kevin Jackson says:
April 26, 2011 at 3:23 pm

Trump won’t get anywhere, once people figure him out. It’s already happening. And yes, 40% of the people sucking off the system are lazy and ignorant. Obama was going to end wars, yet he started another. He has “trumped” Bush on wars, so no spin necessary. What flavor kool-aid is your favorite…just curious?


Downsouth says:
April 26, 2011 at 10:20 pm

My point is Trump, like you, is doing a great job of riding the most hated person in the history of conservatism (why Obama is the most hated is based on perspective) so he is leading in polls even though what he is saying is irrelevant nonsense. Sorry, I don't think you can get your Tea Party cool-aid drinkers to believe that Pres. Obama is resposible for the Afgan or Iraq war, and they would believe anything about Obama. And if we are at war with Lybia, this is our second war with them, because Reagan bomb them also. For the record, my favorie flavor is a mix of tropical punch and pink lemon-aid.
