Cars and trucks on Arizona Highway 260 in East Central Arizona are driving by a billboard advertisement that recently went up, bearing President Obama’s face on what appears to be a mock U.S.One-Hundred Trillion Dollar bill.
The billboard’s caption: “But Who Will Pay the Piper?”
(Unfortunately, the answer is – no one can.)
Chuck Perrine of Jones Outdoor advertising in Tucson, Ariz., confirmed to CNSNews.com that his company created the 10 ft- by-40 ft. billboard, which he said “went up within the last month.”
America’s new standing in the world after 1 1/2 years of Obama:
“The Obama administration has managed to convince most countries around the world that we are worth little as friends and even less as enemies.”
What do the following have in common: the piling on Israel after the botched interception of the Hamas relief flotilla, the Chinese military telling the U.S. secretary of defense that he was not welcome in Beijing, and the declaration by Nick Clegg—now deputy prime minister of Great Britain—that his country’s special relationship with America is over?
The National Post put out a graphic on ‘Just how corrupt is the United States?”, and the top three states all seem to have something in common.
States that are left wing win the contest by a wide margin. (click image to enlarge)
America may not be the most corrupt nation in the world, but on the Corruption Perception Index issued by an organization called Transparency International, the U.S. scored 19th from the top in 2009, barely trailing Britain and Japan, and just ahead of Barbados. (Canada is tied for eighth most honest with Iceland and Australia.)
If Texas could clean up its act, it would be a clean sweep of corruption for the left.
A great video to kick off the final few months of Obama’s power… with the first half of his term a complete disaster, videos like will go a long way towards the Dems losing congress.
Hopefully, November means the end to the US shift to socialism… let’s hope he hasn’t done permanent damage to the USA and the world.
Time Magazine likened the theme to violence and Fawkes, and was forced to recant:
UPDATE: I notice quite a bit of electronic dust this post has stirred up on the interwebbing. A couple points: First, as I suggest in the post, the tale of Fawkes has been so thoroughly appropriated by so many that it is just not right to associate the latest appropriators with the intent of the original criminal in 1605. The RGA is not calling for a violent uprising here. It is tapping into well-established online anti-government memes. (Remember 1984.) The Wachowski brothers, who were themselves referencing a comic book adaptation of the Fawkes story, were not calling for violence when they made their movie. Ron Paul supporters were not calling for violence when they decided to raise $4 million in 2007. To suggest that this is what the RGA is doing now is, it seems to me, overly simplistic and inflammatory. Second, there has been some speculation in the comments that the RGA fed me the Fawkes reference. They did not. But the connection is not exactly a stretch for anyone who has closely followed Republican politics online (and yes, here I am counting Paul as a Republican). Aside from the Remember November refrain, the classical music, the near-apocalyptic crises messages, the suggestions of totalitarian intent, the imagery of Castro and marching soldiers, the sound of a ticking clock all points to a well established online narrative, where Fawkes thrives as a sort of folk hero for all ideologies. These sorts of videos are made to go viral. They are intended to be edgy, provocative. They are meant to tap into running passions, online story lines. This one is very successful at accomplishing its viral mission.
If a Palestinian or Syrian terrorist strikes with a nuke?
“The United States will swear off the development of new generations of nuclear weapons and will not use its existing arsenal to attack nonnuclear states that are in compliance with nonproliferation agreements, the Obama administration said Tuesday.
The new policy “recognizes that the greatest threat to U.S. and global security is no longer a nuclear exchange between nations, but nuclear terrorism by violent extremists and nuclear proliferation to an increasing number of states,” Obama said later in a statement.”
The position “provides a road map” to help achieve Obama’s “long-term goal of a nuclear-free world,” Gates added. It removes a “calculated ambiguity” in past U.S. nuclear policy while making clear that “this is a weapon of last resort,” he said.
Am I the only one that finds this new policy naive and frightening? I know there’s a nutty guy in Iran chuckling over this one.
Scott Brown’s truck was made by the company Obama OWNS…General Motors.
Nothing like bashing your own product to help sales.
“I’m Scott Brown. I’m from Wrentham. I drive a truck. And I’m nobody’s senator but yours,” the Republican told a packed crowd at his victory party in a downtown Boston hotel.
