  1. The last U.S. Election in 2009 wasn't a referendum on conservative values, it was about the MSM covering up Obama's lifelong partnerships with Socialists, Communists, and anti-Americans, as well as the theme that anyone who didn't vote for Obama was a racist.

    Soon enough of the "useful idiots" who voted for Obama will wake up as they see their paychecks dwindle.

  2. You had me confused for a minute, I was sure an a story about the "useful idiots caucus" had to be about the Democrats on the New Britain City Council.

  3. The average monthly wage for workers in Cuba is $9 a month, and 93% of all employment is working directly for the state, and these mush brains are running around suggesting that this is the future for America? What a bunch of idiots.

  4. Health conditions and hygiene at prisons were very poor. Many prisoners, such as Tomas Ramos Rodriguez, released in June after serving 17 years, said that cell floors had standing pools of water contaminated with sewage. There were several reports that toilets were essentially wooden platforms above an open sewer, with no process for treating the waste. Family members reported widespread serious disease and illnesses among political prisoners, for which the prison staff sometimes withheld treatment. Digestive disorders, dengue fever, and outbreaks of skin diseases caused by contaminated water were frequent.

    YOU MEAN CASTRO DOESN'T GIVE HIS PRISONERS CABLE TV IN THEIR CELLS AND CONJUGAL VISITS WHICH ARE BOTH STANDARD HERE IN CONNECTICUT?

    HOW COULD THAT BE? ACCORDING TO THESE DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSMEN, MR. CASTRO IS SUCH A NICE GUY. ONE OF THEM EVEN LIKENED VISITING CASTRO TO VISITING WITH AN OLD FRIEND.

  5. Can you believe this idiot?

    “This is the dawning of a new day,” exclaimed Rep. Bobby Rush (D., Ill.). “In my household I told Castro he is known as the ultimate survivor.”

    There is little doubt that this moron felt tingly feelings running up and down his legs just at the experience of being in the same room as a communist dictator!

    Bloomberg: 7,000 NYC worker layoffs
    Letter from New York mayor Michael Bloomberg says the additional job cuts are due to the tax revenue shortfall.

    NEW YORK (Reuters) -- New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg has asked city agencies to cut another 7,000 jobs as the city's finances continue to deteriorate in the recession.

    In a letter to agency heads, Mark Page, the head of the city's Office of Management and Budget, said that tax revenues continue to fall short of projections, forcing the city to further trim costs to balance its budget.

    The OMB is open to ideas for cuts, but "given the efficiencies you have already achieved, this next step would most likely rely heavily on additional headcount reductions, whether through attrition, or, as is more likely, through layoffs," the letter said.

    The new round of cuts aims to reduce spending for fiscal 2010, which begins July 1, by another $350 million, Page said.

    The cuts come on top of the headcount reductions of about 9,000 positions that were included in the January preliminary budget for 2010. Those cuts included 1,300 layoffs.

    Union leaders weighing in on the letter said cutting staff has proved to be a failed strategy in the short and long term.

    "The OMB statement, besides outlining fiscal problems, is unfortunately an effort to negotiate with Albany and the unions in public," said Harry Nespoli, chairperson of the Municipal Labor Committee, in a statement.

    Agency heads have a deadline of noon on April 13 to reply to the letter.

    The mayor is due to publish a final budget for fiscal 2010 at the end of April.

    The preliminary budget includes about $1.6 billion in actions from the state and the city's municipal unions over which Bloomberg and his staff have little control, the letter said.

    The mayor is seeking authorization to increase the city sales tax and is also seeking concessions from unions on pensions for new public-sector employees.

    The mayor has not reached a deal with unions on $557 million in annual health benefit savings he is seeking.

    Nespoli said the union has not walked away from talks and has already offered $200 million in savings.

    "We prefer not to negotiate in public and we look forward to further talks with the city at the bargaining table," he said.

  8. That's the new America, everyone plays nicey, nice. Who cares what
    sort of demented lifestyles other
    countries have, so long as we get
    along it's all good. It's high time
    we simply turn a blind eye. Who are we as a nation to put our beliefs (christian or otherwise) on
    others. That always gets us into some sort of war and then everyone hates us. Let em' all fall to their own demise so long
    as we can be friends. Humility goes along way.

    Now where is the "Tea Party"?
