Our Commander in Chief mispronounced Corpsmen. Not the end of the world but comical in a scary way. When people voted for Obama they must have forgotten the duties of a President. A President is the Commander in Chief of all the military forces, negotiates treaties,  signs bills into laws only after the Congress and Senate approves them, and is suppose to keep us safe. You would think the Commander in Chief would properly know how to say Corpsmen. After all it is a military word. Would I ever mispronounce the word Yunnan. Of course not. We voted in a lawyer who would make a great news reporter that doesn't report on military stuff.

There is one thing I really like about Obama and that is the fact he really likes himself. He took a poor women's death who died of cancer to promote how much he is loved. It's sick.

A Phrase I dislike 

There is a phrase that liberal talking heads like to use and they have been using it for years. It's one of my least favourite phrases they use because it’s a lie. I even hear news anchor people use it. The phrase is "The prior administration gave tax breaks to the rich." There are all sorts of problems with this phrase. The word "break" is misused. "Break" suggests rich people are getting something from the government. They're not getting anything from the government. Chances are they get the least from the government. The fact is the wealthiest 1% earn 19% of the total income but pay 37% of the total taxes. The wealthiest 10% pay 68% of the taxes. The bottom 50% of wage earners make 13% of the total income but pay only 3% of total taxes. This phrase is used to create a class war and suggest liberal democrats care more about the bottom half of wage earners. All liberal democrats don't understand basic economics. If you punish success in the form of taxes then people don't want to be successful. Then when people stop being successful your overall tax base goes down. Then where does the government get their revenue from. I want to know how much a liberal wants the tax rate to be. They usually have no idea because they don't even know the basic facts about the tax rate.

The Media Has Capitalism All Wrong

Anita Dunn is the White House Communications Director. Most people have never heard of her. But I would say that she is somewhat important to the President because she controls what communication goes in and out of the White House. Just 5 months ago she gave a speech and she talks about how Chairman Mao was one of her heroes. Mao was responsible for 70 million Chinese deaths. He was the one that turned China into a brutal Communist state. I find it very troubling that someone this close to Obama thinks Mao is cool. If you don't know about Mao click here. For more information on Anita Dunn click here. 

Personally I think this is outrageous. None of our media is reporting on this. Instead their wasting their time on a goofy family that launches balloons into the air. We can't have a person in the White that thinks Mao is cool. Mao is one of the worst criminals of our time. This goes to show you the media will do whatever it takes to protect Obama.

When did our politicians start liking Communists. Whats wrong with liking George Washington or Benjamin Franklin.

Here is the video

Scared of the change he wants? When he was talking change he meant changing from a democracy to a communist state. Don't be scared. Thankfully we're still in a democracy. Remember to contact your Senators and Congressman and tell them you want a limited government and you're not happy with Obama.

The Nobel Peace Prize really celebrates clueless pacifists who think giving into dictators is a wise decision. Obama decided to take down the missile defense shield in Poland a couple months ago. The Russians and the Iranians love this. Our allies in Poland, Ukraine, and the Czech Republic did not. All of our three allies mentioned are democracies. Russia is ruled by an ex KGB Agent and Iran is a clear cut dictatorship ruled by brainwashed Mullahs. I found it strange that Obama would favour Russia and Iran. Obama has yet to be tough with North Korea and their nuclear missile plans. Also he will not increase the troop levels in Afghanistan. Our Generals say we can win in Afghanistan with more troops. Pacifists don't send troops off to war. They stand around and wait to be slaughtered by dictators. The only reason the world is at peace is because America, the world's greatest democracy has the most nuclear bombs and the most advanced military. The Socialists in Norway that handed out the Nobel Peace Price are free because of the U.S. military. Every year those Nobel Laureates should hand out the prize to the U.S. Military.  The only military the world has ever seen that has never conquered but only liberated.

The one thing that I admire most about Christopher Columbus is his bravery. He got into a sailboat and hoped that India was only 2000 miles away. Fortunately he ran into Central America. After he discovered this route to the Americas other explorers came and discovered all the other lands in North and South America. The rest in history and the greatest democracy was born. Later the United States would save the world from Communism. The U.S. stopped Russia from controlling all of Europe. We stopped Russia in Afghanistan and Cuba as well. America has fought Communism is Central and South America.

There is no doubt that the Americas would have been eventually discovered by somebody. If it wasn't for Columbus the Americas could have been discovered hundreds of years later. If that was the case the United States would have been born in 1876 instead of 1776. Would the United States have been a mature enough nation to fight Communism in the world? Probably not.  Thank you Columbus and thank you The United States of America.

Political Parties Equal Cults

I made a decision not to affiliate myself with any political party because I realized they are cults and have cult leaders. On top of that what's the difference between the wimpy Republicans and the mindless Democrats? Not much. Retaining power is what they want most and not the well being of their fellow citizens. My definition of a cult is an organization that in doctrines their followers with nonsense. Then in turn the cult followers believe in the nonsense and will defend the nonsense until the bitter end. For example, if you talk to an Obama follower the man can do no wrong and same goes for a Bush follower. People should give up on political parties all together and look to themselves for guidance. Elect officials that only want to dismantle the federal government. I use to be guilty of this but now I find it strange when an everyday person calls themselves a Republican or a Democrat. Why would a bricklayer or an office worker call themselves a Republican or a Democrat. The federal government cares nothing about you and only wants to retain their power that they have over you. The media has let the American people down because 99% of them are cult members and defend the ideology of their cult leader. They have a responsibility to question every government official no matter what cult they belong to. America's federal government is moving in a scary direction. They want to control all aspects of the economy. They package this control into a face that says they know what's best for you. You are losing your individuality and becoming a person that answers only to the government. America was founded by brave pioneers who were tired of the government telling them what to do. Why are we following cult leaders and letting them control our lives? We're becoming lazy and it's easier to be a sheep and follow everybody else. We all need to put the Kool-Aid down and become individuals again. Look at history, cult leaders(Politicians) will only kill you.

I decided to put the Tea Blog on Hiatus for a little while. I'm sorry. I decided to spend my time doing other things. Don't worry the Tea Blog will never go away. Check back in a couple months.

Saturday:

I set my alarm for 9:00 A.M. and got up and let my dog out. I came in and microwaved a worthless bakery type twist apple thing from Pillsbury. Not much better than cake for breakfast. I also made a cup of Namring Darjeeling Tea. I watched the first episode of “The Wire” on dvd. “The Wire “ is a series on HBO that ran for 5 seasons starting in 2001. It’s a gritty realistic drama about the war of drugs in Baltimore. It profiles the dealers, the law, and the political side of the war on drugs. So far so good. I think I’ll keep watching it. After that I played with my dog. Then I decided to get Chinese for lunch. I ordered some Hunnan Beef, egg roll , and fried rice. I went and got it and then came back and ate it. After the Chinese I made a cup of Yunnan Gold Tea. Then I decided to setup my DSL service. I had my Internet service through my cable company but since they are charging me $56.00 a month I decided to switch. I can get Internet service through AT&T for $35.00. I called AT&T to activate it and then I had to deal with all the red tape over the phone. I also setup my wireless router so I can surf the net wirelessly on my laptop. Everything worked out ok and it’s actually faster. After that I made another cup of Yunnan Gold and watched the Yankees and Red Sox. Then I made dinner. I had some broccoli and green peppers along with fries and some lime chicken wings. I watched baseball after dinner. I flipped between three games. Two of my fantasy pitchers were pitching and I wanted to see how they were doing. Then at 9:30 I put in a movie called “Tokyo Gore Police”. It’s an over the top gore movie obviously made in Japan. It’s a revenge movie. A daughter of a Tokyo police officer is murdered and she joins the police force when she grows up to seek out her father’s killer. In the movie there are these hybrid humans called Engineers. When you cut off a limb for example they may grow a chain saw. Another example is if you cut their eyeball out they may grow an eyeball that shoots things. Very weird and not for everybody. Then I went to bed.

Sunday:

I woke up at 10:00 A.M. and let my dog out. Then I came back in and made a blueberry dumpling and also made a cup of Margaret’s Hope Estate 2nd Flush Darjeeling. I watched episode 2 of “The Wire”. After that I played with my dog. Then I came inside and made some fajita/burrito’s. I made some great iced tea from some old Ceylon I had. Ceylon is best for making iced tea. I watched some of the Cardinals and Pirates. Then I decided to clean my freezer and refrigerator. It was getting a little nasty. I also cleaned my entire kitchen including the floors. Right now I blogging and watching the Dodgers and Braves. My fantasy pitcher is pitching for the Braves. Tonight I’ll probably watch episode 3 of “The Wire” and do some reading. I’ll make some Clouds and Mist Green Tea. See pictures below.

Did you hear that Obama wants American citizens to report other American citizens if they are distributing “fishy” information about Obama’s health care plan. No other American President has made this request before. It shows his level of immaturity and that he doesn’t not like opposition and is ultra sensitive. I can tell that he is a person that has always gotten his way. It shouldn’t matter if you are a Democrat or a Republican, this should worry you.

I’m very proud of my fellow citizens going to the town hall meetings and protesting government run health care. Here is a good clip of a town hall meeting in St. Louis. My Senator Claire McCaskill was too scared to show up.

Liberal Democrats were accusing the Republicans of orchestrating these town hall meetings with the protestors being bused in. There is actually zero proof of that. Just last week the Democratic National Committee decided to bus in Union goons and ACORN people to bar concerned citizens from the meeting. Video does not lie.

Here are two very unpopular people. Barbara Boxer and Nancy Pelosi. They are calling the concerned citizens names that have been going to the town hall meetings on health care. I think these two realize that Obama is in trouble and is becoming very unpopular. Especially his health care plan. No American in their right mind wants government run health care.

Ayn Rand talking about the true definition of altruism. Very good discussion. I think Donahue was confused between sacrifice and altruism.

Random Thoughts:

I thought of another problem with cash for clunkers. I’ll admit it’s a little conspiratory.  Obama does not like anything that is privatized including private charities. Private charities take clunker cars from people and then they sell them or sell the cars for parts and use the profit to fund their charity. Private charities are reporting that people are not turning in clunker cars anymore. This is hurting the charity’s bottom line. Obama loves this because he wants the government to be the sole provider for everything.

Saturday-

I woke up at 8:30 and let my dog out. Then I made some Tukdah tea and a apple dumpling. I ate breakfast and watched tv for an hour. It was kind of weird my stomach was growling like it was hungry but I just ate. I read somewhere when your stomach growls it's really asking for water. I had a glass of ice water and the growling went away. I was going to ride my bike in my neighborhood but it was raining. I decided to do some reading and cleaning. Around 12:30 I went to Shop n Save and looked at magazines and they had this Pro Football Annual that I always get called Phil Steele’s Pro Football Annual. Phil Steele watches every college football game and every pro football game. They show a picture of his living room and it has 20 tvs. To become an expert prognosticator in sports you have to watch the games rather than rely totally on stats. After I bought the magazine I went to go get my Chinese that I called in. I got Schezuan beef,  egg roll, and fried rice. I came back read my magazine and ate my Chinese food. It was still raining so I decided to continue reading and watch a little bit of the national Fox baseball game between the Dodgers and the Braves. Somewhere during that time I made a cup of Yunnan Gold. I discovered a new way to make Yunnan Gold. If you use less tea leaves when you’re making Yunnan Gold the tea is sweeter but you get less spiciness from the Yunnan Gold tea leaves. Along with the tea I had some keylime cookies. At 5:30 it stopped raining so I decided to take my dog on the Katy Trail. I decided to walk on the part where its very wooded. I sprayed myself down with “Woods Off”. We walked for two hours and I did not get bit by insects once. It was a good walk and I was wore out. I decided to go to Shop n Save and get some stuff for dinner. I got a can of black beans, can of diced tomatoes, tortilla chips, corn salsa, 1 green pepper, 1 box of new peanut butter Cakesters, small bottle of milk, Tyson chicken strips, and Tyson beef strips. I got back and started cooking my rice and while that was cooking I took a shower. After my shower my rice was done. Then I put some black beans, diced tomatoes, and chicken strips in a frying pan. Heated those up and then combined the rice with everything else. I put some of the mix in Tupperware to freeze and then ate the rest on 3 flour tortillas. I watched the Cardinals and Astros. After the Cards won I put “ A Haunting in Connecticut” on. It was a good movie. Virginia Madsen played the mom of a teenage son that had cancer. The hospital that was giving her son experimental treatment was 4 hours away and the weekly trips where hard on the family. The family decided to move closer to the hospital but the unknowingly moved into a haunted house. The treatment that the boy was receiving may have been giving him illusions or he may have been seeing ghosts. That was essentially the plot of the movie. It was an ok “haunted house” movie. After that I went to bed.

Sunday:

I woke up fairly late. I decided not to set my alarm clock and sleep in. It was nice. I needed the sleep. I let my dog out and then I made some Yunnan Gold and an apple dumpling for breakfast. I watched tv for an hour and then I was going to head to Wal-Mart to get a long phone cord for my DSL. This week I decided to switch to DSL instead of cable Internet. My cable Internet was costing me $56.00 a month opposed to $35.00 a month with DSL. I say $20.00 is $20.00. Before I left for Wal-Mart my toilet got clogged and the water overflowed. I don’t have a plunger so I got one of those at Wal-Mart as well. When I got back I unclogged the toilet and cleaned the floor. Surprisingly the mess wasn’t too gross. I had some fajitas for lunch and then I decided to watch the Cardinals and Astros. The Cardinals lost. After that I made some Tukdah  tea and had a peanut butter Cakester. I’m blogging and watching the Blue Jays and Athletics. Tonight I’ll do some reading and get ready for work.

Here is a short video of Nancy Pelosi putting down the private insurance companies. She wants the private insurance companies out of business and wants the government to run health insurance. Think about it. Do you really want Politicians to run health insurance.

Here is Milton Friedman the second greatest economist of all time. The greatest was Adam Smith, the father of Capitalism. Milton Friedman in this clip bashes socialism and states that all poor countries are socialist/communist countries. If government stays out of your way you are allowed to be greedy. In a capitalistic society  greedy people create, invent, and build things. In turn normal people can help in the process and  profit as well. The more greedy people you have in a society the more middle class you have. Over the years greed has become a bad word. The politicians and media celebrate poor people and their struggles. We never celebrate the greedy person who opened a business so they can be rich and in the meantime employee hundreds of people.

One of my favorite people in history is the great philosopher/author Ayn Rand. She was a immigrant from Russian and saw first hand all the evils of Communism. Her most famous novel was Atlas Shrugged. It was very complex but in short it was a novel about big government over taxing the creators of wealth. It got to the point in America where the taxes were so high all the wealth creators and business owners decided to stop what they were doing and stop contributing to society. After they decided to stop working the  government lost the majority of their tax revenue. The government and America became bankrupt. Finally the government asked the business owners how to fix the problem and the business owners said to stop penalizing success and cut the taxes. At first the government officials didn’t understand why that would help. The business owners explained to the government officials if you stop placing a burden on successful people by taxing them the most all people of society will benefit. In turn great minds would want to be successful because you get to keep the majority of your reward for your success. Does Atlas Shrugged remind you of something going on today?

Friday:

I had a flex Friday this Friday was very happy about it. I wanted to take advantage of it so I got up at 8:00 and then let my dog out. Then I went to McDonalds for breakfast. I got a steak, egg, grilled onion bagel, hash brown, and a vanilla ice coffee. I came back to my house and ate my breakfast while watching tv. Then an hour later I wanted to head out. I have an Internet bank and I have been happy with them but every month they have been lowering their interest rate they pay and they have been doing this for 2 years. There is a local credit union that I went through to refinance my house that is giving a 5.01 % rate. You have to get you statements online, participate in bill pay, and use your check card 10 times a month. I figure I can do that. I went to the credit union to set that up around 10:00. It was very easy to setup. It took 5 minutes. After that I went to downtown St. Charles to go to this place called Figuero’s. It’s a cool shop that has 100’s of hot sauces, tea, coffee, different kinds of foods like bean soup kits, scone kits, oils, and spices. My main reason for going was to get some soda syrup for my soda maker. I haven’t used my soda maker in a while and wanted to start using it again. I figure it’s a good time to start using it again since it’s summer time. I got a chocolate syrup and a strawberry syrup. I also got a Cuban Black bean soup kit. Then I drove over to Creve Couer and went to Border books. I just wanted to look around. I spent 20 minutes there and didn’t buy anything. After that I headed to Town and Country and went to this burger shop I have been meaning to try. It’s called “5 Guys”. It’s a place that only sells burgers and fries. I was surprised at how crowded it was. It’s one of those places that is very loud and has lots a things going on. I ordered a burger with onions and green peppers along with fries. Everything was great. Their fries were some of the best I have had. After that I went to Whole Foods Market. Five Guys and Whole foods are in the same shopping area. I got some gourmet soup and strange gourmet root beer. After that I went home and played with my dog for 20 minutes. After that I made some Yunnan Gold Tea. I surfed the Internet for an hour. Then I decided to start on my big project. I decided to replace my garbage disposal. The motor on my original one burnt out. Living with a garbage disposal for all those years made it hard living without one. I bought a garbage disposal the night before from Lowes. I would say the hardest part was getting the old one out. I was proud of myself, I rewired the electrical portion of the new one and installed it under 2 hours. For dinner I made a frozen pizza and watched some baseball. I decided to go to bed at midnight. It was a fun productive day.

Saturday:

I woke up around 9:00 and let my dog out. Then I came in and made some Tukdah FTGFOP1 First Flush tea. It’s a new Darjeeling I got this week. It has apricot undertones. It’s good but not the best. I made an apple dumpling for breakfast. I played with my dog for 20 minutes then I went to Shop n Save to get some half n half. I wanted to make some Italian sodas with my new syrup. Italian sodas are easy to make. You make your soda with carbonated water and syrup and then add half n half to taste. When I got back I made some burritos. I had to clean my place. I cleaned the kitchen, vacuumed, and also cleaned my living room. Then at 3:00 I started watching the Cardinals. They got beat really bad. Then at 6:00 I made a broccoli and green pepper salad. After that I made some chicken nuggets. I watched some baseball until 9:00. Then I put a movie in that I have been watching for called “Watchmen”. It’s a movie that takes place in an alternate world where Nixon is still President in the 80’s. There is a cold war between Russia and the US. But the Cold War is more serious then the one we know. There are super heroes that have been outlawed because the US government does not want vigilantes. The US has one secret weapon called Dr. Manhattan. He can basically destroy anything. In this world he won the Vietnam war. The Russians are scared of this Dr. Manhattan. Nixon uses the threat of Dr. Manhattan against then. Then one day Dr. Manhattan goes missing and the Russians get brave and invade Afghanistan. The world is on the brink of a third World War. I don’t want to tell you the ending. It sound weird but it was clever and well thought out. After that I went to bed.

The Watchmen Trailer

Sunday:

I got up at 10:00 and let my dog out. After that I made a blueberry dumpling and some Namring Darjeeling tea. After that I decided to cut my hair and clean my bathroom. That took me an hour. Then for lunch I made some burritos. After that I watched some baseball and did some reading. It’s 4:00 and I’m blogging. I’ll probably make some Yunnan Gold and get ready for work later tonight.

Obama and Health Care:

I think I was one of the few people that actually watched the Obama press conference on Wednesday night. He gave a speech on how important it was that we have government health insurance for every American. He was asked 11 questions and it took 55 minutes to answer those 11 questions. Each answer was rambling and incoherent. My biggest concern is that nobody really knows how this is going to work. Obama keeps saying if that you are happy with your own private health care you can keep it. My question is how can a private insurance company compete against a governmental insurer. The government insurance will be “free”, it can loose money just like everything else run by the government, and it doesn’t have to turn a profit because the federal government can print money. Private insurance companies are not free, they can’t loose money, and they have to turn a profit. Private insurance companies will go out of business. Then when that happens everybody must answer to this government run health insurance company. To me that is scary.

This is a good example of the nonsense Obama was talking about. The charm is wearing off. "Blue pill, red pill, I have no idea I never worked a real job in my life."

Here is an example of Obama insulting doctors. According to him all doctors are in it for the money.  

Three minute clip of the highlights. The biggest thing that bothered me is that he said a governmental run health care program will decrease the deficit. You will notice he is all over the map.

Thomas Jefferson said: A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have.
