“Politicians,
ugly buildings, and whores all get
respectable if they last long enough” What has
become of our beloved America? Since Christmas Eve,
1913 our standard of living and quality of life has
made a death spiral towards complete and utter
despotism. If you could
go back in time to that fateful day when Congress met
in the dark hours of the night to relinquish the
sovereignty of this nation to the
Federal Reserve, would you not do anything and
everything within your power to make sure that never
came to pass? Today we face
the same dilemma. Just three days ago, Congress yet
again met under the cover of darkness to pass a
draconian health care bill that will no doubt seal
this countries fate. Its 1913 all over again, and the
very same banking families that brought us the Federal
Reserve are responsible for this latest tax scheme
veiled in a façade of socialism. It will be this,
combined with an almost certain carbon tax scheme that
will deliver the people of this once great Republic
into a bondage of the likes the world has never seen. Every member
of the House who voted in favor of this monstrosity
bear an equal share of the blame for delivering a
deathblow to this nation. Their names will forever be
etched into our minds even after the pages of history
turn yellow and parched. But of all those
responsible, one name stands out from the rest. I’ve always
tried to temper my words when writing about despicable
people, but I find it particularly difficult to find
the decorum to address the topic of
Nancy Pelosi. If there is one creature lurking
the halls of Congress who is most worthy of our
contempt and disdain, it is this vile and hideous
woman. Every criminal syndicate has their contingent
of Capos and Lieutenants. Pelosi is one of those
Lieutenants; a minion to a larger cabal of murderers
and thieves who has placed herself into the spotlight
to do their bidding. By way of threats, bribery and
lies she and her henchmen have coordinated the most
serious breech of
Constitutional law in nearly 100 years; and she
has done it all without exhibiting the slightest bit
of remorse. To the contrary, she has demonstrated an
almost sexual exuberance at the prospect of driving
another nail into our collective coffin. Examine some
of the pictures of this hag gloating over her
victories on the floor of the House. She has become
known for cocking her head back and letting out a
shriek of laughter as she and her fellow traitors
celebrate the passage of unlawful legislation that
serve no other purpose but to break the backs, hearts
and spirits of the
American
people. We should
never forget who this woman is or where she came
from. In short, she is the spoiled rotten daughter of
a Baltimore crime boss who didn’t miss a beat hopping
from her rich Daddy’s lap to the lap of her
multi-millionaire husband. During her quest for power
and prestige, she has not once let her feet touch the
same ground or travel the same difficult road that you
and I travel on a daily basis. Yet there she is, on
top of the world, looking down at the rest of us and
mandating how we little people are to live our lives.
To most Americans, this multi-millionaire-by
marriage is the last thing they want to see as
their jobs disappear and everything they have worked
their entire lives for is taken out from under them.
She is a walking insult; salt on a festering wound
that aggravates the very conscience. What’s worse is
that she flaunts her wealth and status traveling
around the globe on her own personal jet with an
entourage of groveling servants that are funded at the
taxpayer’s expense. This cannot be allowed to
continue. So what are
we to do? Is there any remedy? Though this latest
legislation is a devastating blow to our economy and
civil liberties, many of us are comforted in
the likelihood that many of the incumbent Democrats
will be voted out of office come November.
Unfortunately, this will not affect Mrs. Pelosi in the
slightest. Why? The answer to that question resides
with her constituents in
California’s 8th District of the
U.S.
House of Representatives.
San Francisco
is one of the most
beautiful cities in the United States, if not
the world. It is home to magnificent architecture,
great historical landmarks and breathtaking views. It
is also host to some wonderful people, many whom have
made significant contributions to the American way of
life. But San Francisco is unlike anyplace else in
the country. It is perhaps the wealthiest, most
affluent liberal stronghold in the nation. Since the
late 1950’s, San Francisco has been the epicenter of
liberal activism and a Mecca for counter-cultural
revolutionaries from around the globe. The city is
also a major American financial hub, second only to
Wall
Street. The Internet revolution of the 1990’s
made many young progressive liberals rich beyond their
wildest dreams and has given them considerable
political clout. The ideology
of Pelosi’s constituents is reflected in their city’s
politics. Democrats and Greens dominate it and no
Republican candidate for President has ever garnered
more than 20% of the vote. In 2005, the city
overwhelmingly voted in favor of one of the strictest
gun ban’s in the nation, though a legal challenge in
California’s Appeal Court eventually overturned it.
They’ve also enacted ridiculous environmental laws
that prohibit residents from throwing orange peels,
coffee grounds and grease-stained pizza boxes in the
trash. Plastic shopping bags are outlawed as is
bottled water for city employees. Just recently, they
moved to expand their anti-smoking laws to encompass
practically every outdoor space; making it one of the
strictest of any
American city. San Francisco is the
nanny
state on steroids, all with the overwhelming
endorsement of their citizens. And how have
all of these draconian laws served to make their city
a better place to live? The title of this article by
journalist Benjamin Wachs says it all:
The Worst-Run Big City in the U.S. In
it he writes…
Despite it’s spending more money per capita on
homelessness than any comparable city, its homeless
problem is worse than any comparable city's. Despite
its spending more money per capita, period, than
almost any city in the nation, San Francisco has
poorly managed, budget-busting capital projects,
overlapping social programs no one is certain are
working, and a transportation system where the only
thing running ahead of schedule is the size of its
deficit. It's time to face facts: San Francisco is
spectacularly mismanaged and arguably the worst run
big city in America. This year's city budget is an
astonishing $6.6 billion — more than twice the budget
for the entire state of Idaho— for roughly 800,000
residents. Yet despite that stratospheric amount, San
Francisco can't point to progress on many of the
social issues it spends liberally to tackle — and no
one is made to answer when the city comes up short.
The city's ineptitude is no secret. "I have never
heard anyone, even among liberals, say, 'If only [our
city] could be run like San Francisco,'" says
urbanologist
Joel
Kotkin. "Even other liberal places wouldn't put
up with the degree of dysfunction they have in San
Francisco. These same
voters who put their dysfunctional city government
into power gave us Nancy Pelosi. Is this the model we
want for the rest of the nation? Nancy Pelosi
currently has an 11% national approval rating. No
doubt the vast majority of those who comprise that
percentage reside in her district. Yet, the elected
representative of this tiny minority has been put into
a position of power that wields the most significant
influence on public policy and legislation.
Everything she does on behalf of her constituents
affects the remaining 89% of us who are absolutely
opposed to the
San
Francisco model. In a perfect
world, Nancy Pelosi would be behind bars in an orange
jumpsuit awaiting trial for treason. But we don’t
live in a perfect world, and we cannot expect the
cowards and traitors whose livelihood depends on the
Federal
government to step up and do the right thing.
Don’t expect the people of San Francisco to do
anything about it either. In the last election cycle,
Pelosi won by a landslide 71.9% of the vote. The
people of San Francisco don’t want to see her go.
Pelosi espouses the same Marxist, Fabian Socialist
ideology as her constituents. They are not concerned
with what the rest of the nation wants, and its
unlikely they ever will. It is for
this reason that I propose strong and crippling
sanctions against the
City of San Francisco. They must be made to
hear the hue and cry of a nation that demands Nancy
Pelosi be removed from office. Until they meet with
our demands, we will cease to support their economy
with our consumer dollars. Tourism is
the backbone of San Francisco’s economy. Any and all
travel into or through San Francisco should cease.
All conventions and seminars should be cancelled. If
any business trips are planned, accommodations should
be arranged outside the city limits. Hotels and
restaurants should be notified that they should no
longer expect our patronage as long as Nancy Pelosi
holds office. A BOYCOTT of
companies headquartered in San Francisco should begin
immediately. Some of those companies include The Gap,
Levis-Strauss, Gymboree,
McKesson Pharmacies, Sega of America, Lucasfilm,
Wells Fargo Bank, Ghiradelli,
Del Monte Foods, Hills Brothers Coffee and
Anchor Brewing Company among others. I
suggest a comprehensive list of companies be compiled
and posted on an independent website with a view
counter to reflect how many have consulted the list. I also
propose a BOYCOTT and letter writing campaign on
Pelosi’s most ardent supporters. Among the more well
known financial contributors to her campaign are
people like Microsoft CEO Mike Balmer, Producer Steve
Bing, Fashion Designer Liz Claiborne, Filmmaker
Francis Ford Coppola, Actress Jane Fonda, Wine Mogul
Ernest Gallo, Microsoft Founder Bill Gates, Playboy
CEO Christie Hefner, Apple Computer CEO Steve Jobs,
Casino Mogul Kirk Kirkorian, Actor Robin Williams and
Men’s Warehouse Founder George Zimmer. Of course
this is just a primer for a larger project.
Hopefully, someone with better organizational skills
than I will pick up on my suggestion and capitalize on
it. It may be a small gesture, but if we are to
defeat this woman we must attack her on all fronts
(short of violence of course). And if that
doesn’t work? Maybe we should all consider picking up
shop and moving to San Francisco so we can vote her
out ourselves. We may not succeed, but a migration of
angry, dissident patriots like us is sure to bring
down property values. So what do
you say? Are you in, or are you out? |
