Steve’s Barking; Why are the RINOs anti capitalist?.

 Ok wtf is a RINO? Republicans in name only. Or the new Republican Party if that rocks your boat.
 Now why do I call the new Republican Party anti capitalist ( I could just say their anti business. 
 Well let’s just say two of the most prominent Governors Ron Santis and Greg Abbot are telling the businesses in their state that they can’t demand that their employees and customers to wear. Now if that’s the businesses policy, that’s the businesses policy. I know that if I ran a business in Texas or in Florida I would want my customers and workers to wear mask to avoid liability in case of COVID 19  outbreak being traced my place of business and I didn’t do enough to prevent it. How can a so called friendly business state have a governor who tells the tourists shipping industry that they can’t demand that it’s Cruise ships have it’s passengers and crew be vaccinated against COVID 19 when if an outbreak of the disease should crush the industry.  When Democrats tell businesses what they can and can’t do they call them socialist. Maybe the new Republican Party likes the communist idea of telling company’s what to do  also.

* The New Republican Party is not my uncle’s Republican Party. The old Republican Party was sneakily taken over by the Anarchist Tea Party..

Steve’s Barking; Vote Competence

The Governor Elections is occurring this year in New York. I have a terrible choice. All candidates talk about liberalism, Conservatism, progressive and on and on. Our current governor went from moderate to conservative to liberal, what I want from my governor is to be competent. I want my dmt to be easy to maneuver. For family members who need unemployment not complicated filing. I want few delays on my roads due to roadwork on all highways going in the same directions. No person who is running talks of how their administration would be the most competent.

Steve's Barking; How president elect Don Trump should end the Afordable Care Act

President elect should end the affordable Health Care Act (Obamacare) by give congressional healthcare for all, payable by a 5% income tax. I said income tax not payroll tax.
This could be off set by having a bigger tax deduction in other places then is now being considered.
Starting in 2018, and ending the current health system then


To understand why I think this is a great idea one will really have to do their homework.

Steve's barking; Voting for profection.

We in the States demand from our opposition leaders to be perfect.
Sometimes we even demand that the person or persons that we vote for make the perfect decisions.
Our leaders can't be human. They must have the wisdom of G-d, for after all we know that G-d is perfect.
Of cause if we're true believers of our president we of cause will look the other way no matter what blunder, or crossedness they committed. For most of us we'll dwell on the blemishes, and too many of us the issues be damned.
I assume that in other countries that being also the truth.

Steve's barking; The Cowardly Lion Syndrome

I' m worried, a new disease has befallen this great country America.
The name of this disease is called the cowardly lion disease.
Many of our business leaders are suffering from this disease. They can't seem to stop blaming our government, and or government regulation for their short falls. Now they have a problem finding the courage to make better products, use the small regulations to their advantage, and to actually do some work.
Others who have come down with the Cowardly Lion syndrome are politicians who blame the emasculated unions for their own incompetence. Do unions have lot and lots of money. NO!
Is it legal for most civil servant unions to strike. NO! So Governors like Scott Walker must be suffering from Cowardly Lion Syndrome.
I can't imagine some one like Scott Walker going against Putin. We would be in real trouble.
Getting back to my blog, As of this moment there's no cure for the Cowardly Lion Syndrome.
One can only hope and pray that it's not lethal after all it's only a syndrome.

Steve's barking; Government isn't concerned about middle class jobs

Every time I hear an elected official talk about the dwindling middle class, then out of the other side of his or her mouth say that we have got to cut government spending, not hiring new workers and not paying them a living wage. Let's face government work is a major way getting into the middle class, especially for minorities.
If your against government workers then your against the middle class

steve's barking; Thre Democratic party's worse nightmare is me.

The Democratic Party's worse nightmare is me.
No I I'm not a Tea Party Member.
No I'm not a Republican nor Conservative, Anarchist, or Obstructionist.
No I'm a registered Democrat who has voted in every election almost always down the party line.
I admit in the distant past I voted for a Republican but in recent memory I have broken with the Democratic Party to vote Third Party.
It's not me who isn't voting along the Democratic line, but what I represent, the disenchanted Democrat.
The Democrat who was a union member, who see prominent Democrats keep quite on the vilification of Unions.
The ex civil servant who hears the Democratic governor of his state blame all the monetary problems on my pension.
The Democrat who used to give to the party until he wised up and realized that the money he was giving was paying people who's salaries and commissions were more  in a year then I made in a life time.
The Democrat who hears the pitch and doesn't see the results.
The Democrat who reads the poles and see that the party leadership is too stuck on itself that they don't change the results.
A Democratic Party that forgot about it's grass root presence.
The Democratic Party's biggest fear should should be people like me who will vote third party or not vote at all.

Steve's barking at capitalist communist

Capitalist communism (?) can't be.
Capitalist communist must be those billionaires who are a disgrace to their class. Economic equality= blaspheme.

In the sixties when we were taught the superiority of American democracy over communism we were taught about freedom of speech that America had and the communist counties didn't. In the present day the rich have the ability to drown out those aren't rich lowering the voice of others.
We were taught about how the state would spy on the people. Present day America large corporation spy on the citizens (think of Face book, Google, Yahoo and the advertisers on those platforms).
We were taught that the people of the communist countries had to think one way just as as some of those cable news network seem to want the people who watch their network expect their viewers to do.
We were taught that the Soviet Union would tell the same lie over and over again that the people would believe. Sound familiar to those capitalist think tanks Cato institute, and the Heritage Foundation. I know they're called conservative think tanks but are they really.
Brings me to another warning of the evils of communist, they would use terms like freedom loving people while actually meaning those who are enslaved.Seems to me that I hear from capitalist who like to say freedom of choice when they actually mean freedom to choose what they want you to choose. Yes there are some liberals I know who aren't that rich but think the same way.
As I have said before, there are many capitalist who learned their lesson well from the Communist.

Steve's barking; Ultra conservatives and ultra liberals being alike

Why can't we all get along. Were is the common ground between ultra conservatives and the few remaining ultra liberals. I don't count obstructionist such as those in the tea party as conservatives. I consider most of them as space cadets.
Anyway were was I.
Oh that's right I was comparing the ultra conservatives with the ultra liberals. OK , lets start off that both these groups are arrogant. Both groups think the other is stupid. They both like to make fun of each other. Both groups can't take a joke when it's on them.They both like to preach to the choir and think that's getting their message across.
 They both have their own television networks. The conservative network hires a few liberals and the liberal network hires a few conservatives. These people are hired as foils just as the World Wrestling Association has bad guys, these network need people who are foils to add a little spice to their narratives.

Steve's barking; Why don't Americans want choice?

We Americans demand choices in our life, in every thing we do. This is what I keep reading in periodicals.
If that was the case why are so many of us dead set against the Affordable Health Care Act.?
Most of those who have health care from there job say they're happy with what they got. It seems to me that they are afraid of choice. There are fear mongers among us who are trying limit what insurance we can get for our health care.

Steve's barking; good news for Democrats, the're down in the poles

Good news for Democrats, they're down in the poles.
The poles are saying that it looks like the Republicans will keep the house by a larger margin then they have now and there is a good chance that they will take the house. Now how the **** is that good news for the Democrats?
It the end of March and being down in the poles states that you have lots of work to do.
That why you have poles, to show you were you are and how to change your fortunes.
Six months ago things were looking up for the Dem's, then some unforeseen events happened.
Like the Affordable Care Act perception is a disaster. The perception that the IRS is targeting it's enemies. The belief that the NSA is spying on all Americans.
It's time for the Democratic party to end it's arrogance and do some work.
Identify its' weaknesses and it's strength. Try to make the Republicans to make mistakes.

No bodies going to ask me, but if I was to advise the Democrats I would go after the Republicans trying to destroy Social Security and Medicare.
I would go on every college campus telling the students to vote Democratic or if the Republican win their interest rates on their student loan interest will go up because that what the Republicans want.
Scare the Sh*t out women who want contraception by going to women's clinics to get out the vote.
Get out the vote at unemployment offices, that should be easy enough.
Give the Republicans a some self fulfilling prophecy.

Steve's barking worried about the NSA

I'm worried about the NSA. Not for the reason that senators Sanders and Paul are. They're worried that the US Constitution is being broken (questionable about the fourth amendment, while stop and frisk breaks the Constitution's fourth amendment as intended. Yes I know that the liberal supreme court said it's Constitution in limited circumstances). No I'm not worried that the NSA is violation rights. I'm worried that the NSA is doing it's job very well. The White House went to court to find out what phone numbers for phone calls to certain reports to try to find out who's leaking classified information. If the NSA was collecting all phone conversations and e-mails why would the White House need to get a court order if they already had that information? The NSA couldn't stop the Boston Marathon bombing. The NSA couldn't stop the stealing of information from the stealing of credit card information from major department stores.
I want my freedoms.
Freedom to go to a major sporting event without feeling threatened.
Freedom to use my credit without feeling compromised.
Freedom to believe that my country can keep secrets from those who want to destroy it.

Steve' barking at liars in winter

Liars in winter are not lion in winter.
Chris Christie knew nothing, just the fact that his staff thought it would be a good to hurt the people of New Jersey who happen to live in Fort Lee, just because they felt it would be a good idea of maybe hurting a Democrat, never mind that it hurt Democrats and Republicans from Fort Lee. His staffer and friend didn't get the culture of mean from the governor.
We're going to find out if those buffoons who claim that the unemployed would get a job if only they didn't get unemployment insurance are right they would get jobs and more people would be employed in America. If they are right then I'm the buffoon.
Speaking of the unemployed, if those who no longer collect unemployment insurance and are still unemployed are they counted as unemployed? Are they called and asked if they are still looking for work or do they suddenly disappear.
Those liars in the Euro Zone, do they real believe things are getting better economically in Europe.
Those statics don't mean a thing if your a pensioner in Greece or even in Germany.
Yea and those young unemployed in Southern Europe those statistics are useless too.
There are still whiners who shout conspiracy to those IRS members who are doing their jobs as picking on conservatives.
Then there are those television news people ( I use that term loosely ) who have some of the easiest jobs in the world telling those who are struggling to pay their bills that they shouldn't complain and demand a wage that they could pay their bills.
Then there are those goofballs who state those who can't find a job should move.
Let's say that a large portion of the unemployed move to North Dakota or any of those oil states who mead workers, the unemployment rate in those state will become greater then the states that they had just left, the wages would decrease and violence would increase.

Steve's barking some of my best friends are not politicians

I've met several politicians and most seemed like nice and intelligent people.
I have nothing against an assembly person who wants to fund the local senior citizens center and the daycare center down the block. I have nothing against the senator or congressman who fights for money for public transportation systems so that those who needed it the most can afford it. I just wounder why do these same people that I'm saying nice things about when you put a microphone in front of them sound like an idiots?
Is it because they need an extraordinary amount of money to run for office and they have to dumb down to the dummies to get their dough, maybe but they turn off.
Can one state that politicians are an abused minority?
I see on the boob tube some congress people talk about letters that they get from their constituents complaining that they are losing their health care because their insurance company stated they don't meet the standards for the affordable healthcare act. If the congress person was honest he (or she) would state that the constituent was lucky, the lowest tier on Obamacare is lame and probably not worth the money so one can only imagine a plan that doesn't meet those standards.
There are over 330 million Americans with ancestry from all over the world, I'll bet that our founding fathers couldn't fathom that.

Steve's barking at democratic minority rules

One would think that in a democratic society that the majority rules.
I'm not so sure about that. The fact of the matter I know that in a parliamentary system with many parties, majority rule gets the short shift unless one party wins a solid majority. Think of Israel, don't those  extremist parties have way too much sway?
What about that well oiled machine Germany? Even though the Christian Democratic took much more of the vote then any other party ( possibly at the expense of their previous coalition partners) they have to make deals to govern(?).
Now we come back to the good old US of A, which isn't a parliamentary government yet the Republican party has too make deals with the lower house to stay in charge, thus the undemocracy of the great democracy of the United States. Unfortunately for the Republican Party (re Tea Party) the lower house doesn't rule like in European Parliaments were no confidence votes can change the government.

There are people in the US who are nostalgic for James Buchanan and the weak ineffectual presidency.

Question: Do democracies want democratic really want democratic rule in other counties, especially when the citizens of that county what things that may be at odds with those countries?

Steve's barking It's a budget stupid

I maybe not know that much about budgets, but I do know that a counties budget has everything to do with money that a the counties government is going to spend. Question; how do you hold up a budget on money that you're not going to spend. Maybe I'm putting it wrong let's ask how can you insist on not paying for something that your not suppose to pay for anyway?
Now in case anybody is reading this I'm writing about the affordable health care act. Now I'm no lawyer but you can't insist that on refunding or holding up a portion of a law that the government isn't funding.
Now I haven't seen the funding bill, but if my gut feeling is right the senate could except the money part of the bill and change the wording.
Now I know that the budget bill is a zillion pages long and nobody really knows what in it anyway, but (and g-d forgive me) if medicaid spending is X plus Y (for the affordable health care) don't fund Y.  Even if that money is from saving on the amount of money not being paid to doctors and hospitals, just deduct the savings.


Thank goodness progressives don't read my blog and neither do the fruitcakes.
A person must take this particular blog with a grain of salt, for I get all my information from the news.

Steve's barking that idiost trumps morons

I see on the boob elected official or at least one time elected officials.
I say to myself how did that idiot get elected, than I look up the morons who ran against the politician and I can see why idiot trumps moron every time.

Look at the New York mayoral race Anthony Wiener was just an idiot when he entered the race, then it was revealed that he continued to sex text after he left congress putting him in the moron class.

Eliot Spitzer took up with call girls and manipulated money to do so,making him an idiot, borderline moron.
His opponent Scott Stringer's add accused MR. Spitzer of using offshore accounts to pay for the hooker, unfortunately the adds are wrong it was the RICO statue that Mr. Spitzer violated(?).
Now after looking at some of the TV ADS it appears that Mr. Stringer is appealing on sentiment of some of the things that were written into law when he was in the Assembly which have zip to do with the job of comptroller. Border line Moronic.

Even some of the voters it appears can be moronic, it has been written ( I'm probably getting this a lot wrong) that some fellow down in Tenn.  was able keep his child on his health care and wrote to his local paper please don't let Obama care take this away.

Steve's barking money doesn't talk it shouts

Despite the fact that money in itself doesn't have a mouth, those who have money do.
Money when trying to convince doesn't talk, it shouts.
The higher the amount of money the loader the shouting.
Money shouts so loud it can drown out all other voices, as if those voices don't exist.
Money can shout so loud and so long that it can convince other wise intelligent people to believe really stupid stuff.
Money can be so loud and convincing it can( for the lack of better definition) brainwash the people.
If we let too much money into our democracy, we can kiss it good bye.

Steve's barking at a nation of law breakers

We in the United States are a nation of law breakers.
We (I) think nothing of driving at 65 miles in a 55 mile zone and think that it's alright.
When I was a smoker I would smoke in bed though it was dangerous and in New York City against the law.
Governments (city, state and federal) like to play fast and lose with the fourth amendment (that amendment stating that the right  of the people to be secure in their persons, houses and effects against unreasonable searches searches and seizures shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall be, but upon probable cause.
Does New York City have the right to stop and search anyone with maybe the exception is saving life and limb if one believes in the wording of the fourth amendment.
The sixth amendment specifically the right of the accused the right to a speedy and public trial. I can't recall a speedy trial.
The eight amendment clearly states excessive bail shall not be required. How many times have I read about million dollar bail for simple prostitution?  How many times have I read about bail for simple marijuana possession were the accused had no means to meet bail?

Steve's barking that Congressman Ryan opened the door for a European style healthcare system.

Congressman Paul Ryan opened the door for a European type healthcare system in the United States.
To be more specific the German Healthcare system.
Now how can that be?
He proposed that in the future (those who are now 55) seniors in the US would get vouchers which would be used to buy health insurance on the open market. Now as I recall the voucher would pay the amount that is equal to the second lowest health insurance in the local area.
What would happen if some brave public official would say that they agree as long as every American no matter the age should be entitled to the same style healthcare. Wouldn't this start a debate as too a truly universal healthcare in the US.
This program wold be similar to the Universal healthcare in Germany, and I say why not. We stole Social Security from them why not their healthcare system.
