Doo Doo Economics are the policies of overspending, printing money, neglecting the key economics issues, bad science and promoting entitlement programs which all add up to higher taxes during a recession and economic unsustainablility.
The IRS targeted conservative organizations to suppress their ability to collect money as charity organizations. Without adequate funding, conservative groups were less effective at educating voters on basic political topics. Progressive charity organizations were given special consideration in being granted charity status. This dichotomy biased the 2010 and 2012 elections by suppressing the conservative vote while simultaneously assisting progressive voices.
The facts of the matter become even more dire when one considers the power and money of unions on the political left. It has become clear that the anti-Tea Party IRS union (National Treasury Employees Union) was the vehicle used by the President to "punish opponents" in this targeting scandal.
“For me, it’s about collaboration.” — National Treasury Employees Union President Colleen Kelley on the relationship between the anti-Tea Party IRS union and the Obama White House
March 31, 2010.
According to the White House Visitors Log, provided here in searchable form by U.S. News and World Report, the president of the anti-Tea Party National Treasury Employees Union, Colleen Kelley, visited the White House at 12:30pm that Wednesday noon time of March 31st.
The White House lists the IRS union leader’s visit this way:
Kelley, Colleen Potus 03/31/2010 12:30
In White House language, “POTUS” stands for “President of the United States.”
The very next day after her White House meeting with the President, according to the Treasury Department’s Inspector General’s Report, IRS employees — the same employees who belong to the NTEU — set to work in earnest targeting the Tea Party and conservative groups around America.
At this point, we could go into the history of Chicago voter fraud, the massive number of voter fraud convictions related to the 2012 election or the history of the Progressive movement as an attempt to gain power through uneducated, impoverished immigrants in the 1890's. The point, educated voters are not helpful to the left. Progressives rely upon the now famous "47%" of people receiving tax money.
President Obama won the 2012 election with 51.85% of voters. It is conceivable that the IRS targeting of conservative groups influenced at least 1.85% of the 2012 vote.
With these facts in mind, we must raise the question: Was the 2012 election legitimate?
P.S.
The left's social-psychology team has been throwing bad defenses against the wall attempting to minimize the consequences of this exposed voter suppression effort. Another progressive effort is to demonize the victims of the targeting.
Since the reelection of President Barack Obama gold prices have begun to rise and the Dow Jones Industrial Average has fallen below 13,000. This reflects the prospects for the country moving forward, at least in the minds of business leaders. So how did President Obama win?
I turned over some research to my friends at GulagBound.com on the Virginia military vote. Look for this article in the days to come. However, I want to mention a more apparent trend in the election.
Conservative men did not show up to vote, at least in California.
It is my assumption that many conservatives have left California for greener pastures in Texas. Additionally Republican Mother over at Left Coast Rebel reports that Ron Paul supporters refused to vote for Mitt Romney after the Republican Convention.
All these factors led to Ron Paul supporters taking the solemn "I'll never vote for Romney" oath. There was no blood involved, it was more of an internet pinky pledge.But after being maligned as potheads for pointing out that the War on Drugs is leading to a police state that will consume us all, all of liberty voters said, ya know what? Knock yourselves out-without us! CHEATERS NEVER WIN!
"Republicans deny science." The statement was repeated on HBO's The Newsroom season finale written by Aaron Sorkin and by HBO's Bill Maher on the Tonight Show last week. It is a statement in defense of the Anthropomorphic Global Warming religion (AGWr). AGWr is a non-scientific system of beliefs with one tenet: humanity is evil and must be depopulated.
AGW is effortlessly debunked by the scientific process and thinking critically for a moment. Of course, the information to debunk Anthropomorphic Global Warming is hidden and obscured by elitists. To simplify the debunking of AGW, look at this temperature chart of the last thousand years, including the Medieval Optimum:
In short, it was warmer before industrialization, between 950 and 1350. It was then generally colder until around 1880 when "modern" climate measurements began. Notice this graphic is from the Northern hemisphere. So are the NASA measurements beginning in 1880, which are considered the temperature measurement gold standard. The NASA measurements were used to make the Global Warming argument. Initially, there was scientific debate on this climate change theory.
Back in 2008, when alarmism peaked, I emailed NASA's leading global warming proponent, Dr. James E. Hansen, a simple question:
Is GISS data available prior to 1880?
His reply was short, honest and appreciated:
Sorry, we do not analyze the data prior to 1880 -- not enough stations, measurements not as good, and not enough nearby neighbors to check validity -- you can get original station data, going back before 1880 from the National Climate Data Center or the World Meteorological Organization. Jim H.
Consider the implication. On a geological scale of time, the data is insignificant. There are a myriad of reasons that we might see a short term spike in temperatures. A quick review of observed scientific history, aka the aforementioned graphic, uncovers that global warming is likely nothing more than the end of the Little Ice Age.
Since 2008, Anthropomorphic Global Warming (AGW) has become a religion. It is now a faith-based belief that ignores observation, testing, falsifiability, critical review and reproducibility (repeatable). AGW ignores the scientific process. It relies upon cooked numbers, denial of scientific observation and over-the-top claims of approaching doom and even cannibalism. All of these claims have one goal in mind, vilifying humanity as the cause of Earth's destruction. It is a claim that is simply not reasonable.
Progressives are the religious fanatics who deny science on this issue. Moreover, they have a golf-loving president who is famously invisible. (see #eastwooding, #emptysuit and #emptychair ) Let's call him Global Warming's invisible friend.
Why is President Obama the progressive's AGW/GWR invisible friend? During the 2012 Republican National Convention, Clint Eastwood made President Obama a mockery by placing an empty chair on stage to take his place. Per fellow SLOB author Temple of Mut's recent post:
I was one of the early proponents of the idea that Clint Eastwood’s use of the chair was an amazing iconic success. Many pundits have since followed suit (see HERE, HERE and HERE for starters). It was so successful that the Twitter world has a new hashtag experience: #Eastwooding. It seems the new political term, “Eastwooding” means taking a picture of an Empty Chair.
One of the reasons the president was mocked is because he has wasted billions of tax dollars on his "green" crony schemes. He ignored actual jobs from oil and coal. Instead he spent billions on "green energy" jobs that turned out to be bus drivers, garbage men, oil lobbyists and roofers upon closer inspection.
We don't suppose it occurred to Kristoff, who occupies that statist mind-hive of the New York Times, that Romney was not so much dismissive of global warming as he was dismissive of and chiding Obama's elevated sense of self-importance.
President Obama is the "green" religion's "invisible friend."
The following outlines the involvement of the Spanish company Scytl with French and Greek elections. Scytl will be counting votes in several states for the 2012 Presidential election in the United States. So if the recent election in France comes into question due to problems with Scytl, it will be of great concern to American citizens.
April 12, 2012: New contract with French Ministry of Foreign Affairs (French Ministry of Foreign Affairs Customer Outlinepdf)
The French Ministry of Foreign Affairs has recently awarded to Scytl a contract to provide the online support to the voters during the next French Parliamentary election. The support will include an innovative online solution to allow voters to verify the compatibility of their computers with the secure online voting system provided by Scytl (web). Approximately 1 million French citizens living overseas will be entitled to vote over the Internet with Scytl’s secure online voting platform.
February 13, 2012: Scytl’s e-voting solution presented by French Ministry of Foreign Affairs
Mr. Edouard Courtial, Secretary of State for the French living abroad, held a press conference on February 10 to present Scytl’s electronic voting solution. Scytl, in alliance with Atos, has been selected by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Interior to provide its Internet voting solution in the French national legislative elections of June 2012. In these elections, a total of 1.2 million French citizens in 11 different districts spread over 5 continents will be entitled to vote over the Internet in order to directly elect 11 members of the Assemblée Nationale (French National Parliament). This will be the third election that the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs carries out with Scytl’s technology, after the 2009 and 2010 election to the Assemblée des Français de l’Etranger (AFE). The press conference was held at the Quai d’Orsay - Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Paris in the “Salon de l’Horloge” where Jean Monet and Robert Schuman signed the appeal to create the European Coal and Steel Community.
November 22, 2010: Scytl carries out a new Internet voting election for the French citizens living abroad
Scytl has successfully carried out, with its partner Atos Origin and for the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the partial elections to the Overseas French Assembly (AFE) for the districts of Mexico and Washington. Over 60,000 French citizens were eligible to vote over the Internet from October 6 thru 24 with a significant increase in participation compared to the 2009 election. This election was conducted though the permanent secure Internet voting platform provided by Scytl to the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs. This platform will be used in the next parliamentary election of 2012 in which for the first time 11 members of the French National Parliament will be elected by the French living abroad.
May 03, 2010: Scytl partners with IRIS to enter the French private sector electoral market
Scytl has recently entered into a new partnership agreement with French company IRIS to enter the French private sector electoral market. Scytl will install a permanent Internet voting platform at IRIS' secure data center and will provide IRIS with training and support services during elections. This permanent Internet voting platform will allow IRIS to offer hybrid (paper and Internet-based) elections services to its customers. IRIS is one of the main actors for paper-based elections in the French private sector electoral market

My background is finance and technology. Most of my younger days were spent on developing my understanding of supply and demand models and advanced math. It would be terrific for my blogging commentary if the 2012 economy was the issue of the election, "but it ain't".
Romney today deflected the issue of some super-pac getting scooped by the New York Times, by saying something to the effect of "don't talk about Obama's past, people want to know where the jobs went." Several talk radio personalities piled on with kudos and other praise. "People want to know where the jobs are!"
This tactic is fine for the moment, but if you think that winning on the economy is going to work, let me explain in excruciating, infuriating detail why it will not.
Remember a guy named John McCain? Do you remember his one trick pony "maverick" campaign? If not, here is a reminder:
McCain ran as the outsider, the maverick who went his own ways and opposed corruption and the same-old-politics. He electrified the nation and solidified his base among conservatives by naming Alaska governor Sarah Palin as his running mate. One of his TV commercials summed it up:
"The original mavericks. He fights pork barrel spending. She stopped the Bridge to Nowhere. He took on the drug industry. She took on big oil. He battled Republicans and reformed Washington. She battled Republicans and reformed Alaska. They'll make history. They'll change Washington. McCain. Palin. Real change."
Most people did not understand why they were losing their homes or why gas prices were so high. Americans did not understand that it was radical Democrats in Congress who voted to kill 10.5 million jobs or why they would do such a thing.
Voters did not understand because John McCain and his campaign ads did not tell them. The campaign would not let Sarah Palin tell the people either. The campaign was a one trick pony, stuck in an irrelevant strategy and thus using irrelevant tactics.
Republicans did not "vet" Barack Obama or adequately explain that Democrat policies starting in January 2007 had crashed the housing market and locked up America's energy resources. The proof is that to this very day the Democrats, "BLAME BUSH."
Enter Mitt Romney and the 2012 Economy
Romney is "the man to fix the economy."
Barack "Spread the wealth around" Obama is inept when it comes to the economy. In a one-on-one economic showdown, Romney has the advantage. The problem is: OBAMA KNOWS THAT! Everyone knows it!
By this summer, social issues, austerity and class/race violence will be tearing apart the fabric of America. ObamaCare will be declared unconstitutional, George Zimmerman will be free, Occupier's paychecks will be drying up, and Europe is likely to collapse financially. It may take until September or October, but the main issue will not be the 2012 U.S. economy.
Diversions from the Obama camp right now are designed to force the Republicans to solidify the "it's the economy" message. David Axelrod today tweeted at 5:29 a.m.:
"Stunning! Will Mitt stand up, as John McCain did? Or allow the purveyors of slime to operate on his behalf?"
Obama Donor and alleged comedian Bill Maher is already on the talk show circuit joking that "The Republicans said 'lets go to plan B; calling women whores'" and other alleged jokes aimed to guide Gov. Romney back to economic issues. (The link provided is just prior to the comment. The segment and comment are from TBS' Conan, show 256, 5/15/2012.)
So while polls show that the economy is the No.1 issue on voters' minds this election, here's a look at the tantalizing sideshow stories that have instead captured the country's attention
Conservatives are buying it.
Sen. McCain "the maverick" was out of position to battle the "Blame Bush" narrative of the 2008 economy. Gov. Mitt "the economy" Romney is currently out of position to battle the "race/sex/class warfare" 2012 social unrest narrative. The uber-progressive President will portray that he is "TEH ONE" to negotiate with endangered unions, angered minorities, anti-capitalist activists and occupiers.
At best, the issue should be changed to the cause of the bad economy and social unrest. Unconstitutional ObamaCare, massive debt, taxes, czars, entitlement dependence, environmentalism and other big government policies that stagnate employment, individual initiative and economic growth. The issue is not the 2012 economic environment or jobs. The issue is socialist policies that create an environment of poverty, dependence and hopelessness.
Let the 9% of undecided voters choose between socialism and capitalism. Gov. Romney's campaign slogan should be "Socialism is wrong and we should get rid of it."
Overall, Obama averaged 44% job approval in his third year in office, down from 47% in his second year. His approval rating declined from 2010 to 2011 in most states, with Wyoming, Connecticut, and Maine showing a marginal increase, and Massachusetts, Wisconsin, Minnesota, New Jersey, Arizona, West Virginia, Michigan, and Georgia showing declines of less than a full percentage point. The greatest declines were in Hawaii, South Dakota, Nebraska, and New Mexico.
Gallup provides additional information via the Presidential Approval Center. According to this resource, Barack Obama currently, Jan. 23-29, 2012, holds 53% approval of the 18-29 age group. This approval number declines through the age groups until reaching 37% for the 65+ crowd.
Post Script
Traditionally, grandparents are the wise, teachers for the young. In human history, the advent of longer lives has allowed the oldest and wisest of our society to pass on wisdom to the newest members. These Gallup numbers may be reflecting a disconnect in the traditional family structure.
DAVOS, SWITZERLAND: US Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner predicted that Obama would be a one-term president. During his televised presentation at the World Economic Forum on Friday, Geithner was questioned by Fareed Zakaria of CNN. The Treasury Secretary tried to be political in his statement, but the question was open ended and well formed.
Fareed Zakaria's question, ".. you made clear that you were not going to serve in a second term of the Obama administration. Is that his choice or yours?" Laughter broke the silence of the crowd of economists and political leaders. Geithner smiled knowing the political difficulty of the situation.
One of the my many talents is decoding the code language on the progressive left and in economic circles. Unfortunately for Timothy Geithner, his every word was decoded. I now relate this back to you. First, the raw response, edited for brevity:
"That is an excellent way to pose that question." Geithner's finger points up and his tongue darts out between his lips. His eyes shift to the side and up. The Secretary tries to find a politically acceptable answer, but truth is about to slip out from his lips.
"..if the president asked you to these things you have to do them...When he asked me to stay, and I thought it was the right time to leave, I agreed that I would stay and I would stay to the balance of his term. He accepted that aspiration of mine, and that is were it is going to come out, I think."
Zakaria quickly followed up, "What are you going to do next?"
Geithner: "...feels like a long way away...[edited]...We got a long year of hard work (ahead of us). It is a political moment in the United States and people are skeptical whether we can do anything. But, Our judgement is that we still have a chance, in some of these areas [referring to Obama's financial regulations, health care take over, etc.], to make some progress. And I am going to focus on that as long as I can." His eyes close, lips purse and Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner hopes that American reporters are too busy with Friday night cocktail parties to understand the context of these words.
Translation for those who do not speak politic or body language:
"I had to stay to the balance of his term and that is what will happen. We have a long year of hard work ahead until the election."
Franklin Raines was a Chairman and Chief Executive Officer at Fannie Mae. Raines was forced to retire from his position with Fannie Mae when auditing discovered severe irregularities in Fannie Mae's accounting activities. Raines left with a "golden parachute valued at $240 Million in benefits. The Government filed suit against Raines when the depth of the accounting scandal became clear.
Tim Howard - was the Chief Financial Officer of Fannie Mae. Howard "was a strong internal proponent of using accounting strategies that would ensure a "stable pattern of earnings" at Fannie. Investigations by federal regulators and the company's board of directors since concluded that management did manipulate 1998 earnings to trigger bonuses. Raines and Howard resigned under pressure in late 2004. Howard's Golden Parachute was estimated at $20 Million!
Jim Johnson - A former executive at Lehman Brothers and who was later forced from his position as Fannie Mae CEO. Investigators found that Fannie Mae had hidden a substantial amount of Johnson's 1998 compensation from the public, reporting that it was between $6 million and $7 million when it fact it was $21 million." Johnson is currently under investigation for taking illegal loans from Countrywide while serving as CEO of Fannie Mae. Johnson's Golden Parachute was estimated at $28 Million.
So where are they?
FRANKLIN RAINES? Raines works for the Obama Campaign as his Chief Economic Advisor.
TIM HOWARD? Howard is a Chief Economic Advisor to Obama under Franklin Raines.
JIM JOHNSON? Johnson was hired as a Senior Obama Finance Advisor and was selected to run Obama's Vice Presidential Search Committee.
Proving once again that Green is the New Red, the supposedly eco-friendly leftist Barack Hussein Obama can rely on his communist base. The communist site Peoplesworld.org transcribed Obama comrade Richard Trumka of the AFL-CIO as he argued for communist support of the "Democrat."
Using hate speech, Trumka demonized traditional Americans as follows,:
"...the fact that the agenda of the far right is to bring this administration and country to its knees, with a heavy dose of racism, lies and economic sabotage, setting the stage for a full blown return to power of the most reactionary, racist, anti-labor, anti-women, homophobic and militarist grouping in U.S. politics. "
Of course, Communism, liberalism, progressivism, socialism, Marxism, and fascism have never been economic systems. These misguided belief systems have led to more human misery in the last 100 years than any other ideology. Unfortunately, history and world wars are not enough to dissuade evil men from seeking power through propaganda and hate.
We see the shadows of misery reaching out to strangle the future of America's youth. This evil grip seeks to intimidate, create dependence, subjugate and extinguish hope for all humanity. As much as the battle takes place in America, the consequences are global.
Class warfare, environmental alarmism, dependence on uncaring government health officials and other typical propaganda are ramping up quickly. To combat this evil, the forces of individual freedom look to the economic facts. Free markets have raised the standard of living and lengthened lives for the entire human population. Free markets provide the worlds first and only alternative to slavery. Free markets have illuminated the darkness, given us freedom to travel and taken mankind to the skies and beyond. Ironically, that very illumination is now vilified as bad for the environment as a veiled justification for slavery to government and somehow people believe it.
I remind you, Sustainability is a pseudonym for population control. All leftist policies are about population control and they have been since the beginning. These people do not value human life and they do not value truth, justice or you. If you think the Constitution and rule of law are enough to protect you and your loved ones, I again remind you that these are all simply pieces of paper. The ideas upon those papers hold NO MEANING to the left beyond being tools to manipulate you into submission.
I beg you to wake up, become prepared and find your place. Do not defend meaningless and undefined human rights, defend our constitutionally defined, inalienable, individual rights with every ounce of courage and strength in your soul.
