PA News Spooner
So get this? The Port Arthur News once again
puts Ronald Spooner, the "former educator" (thank God on the former), touting
him on their front page and web site in his most recent editorial - giving you
the reader another dose of - "How Stupid Are You?"
Adding insult to injury - the News has no - and we mean no -
counter opinion making them THE MOST LIBERAL PAPER in Southeast Texas.
Where in the hell do we start on this guys newest dribble?
Spooner wants to talk about this great Whitehouse summit on
Healthcare. You know - how the democrats are going to save humanity in the
United States buy requiring employers and if you don't have an employer - you -
to carry health insurance. You know - government mandates. The government
telling you more and more what to do - and taking personal responsibility out of
your life. As well, having others pay for what you cannot.
We think they call that - socialism?
Then in the beginning of the dribble - Spooner lets you know
what he really things - you dumb ass citizens - you have to change the way you
think - why? Because you don't know what is good for you - only the government
does. And if you can't change the way you think - you numbing idiot - well you
are off the ship of fools!
You don't believe us - well enjoy Mr. Spooner's words :
"Starting over, either way, would not cause Democrats and
Republicans to change their minds about what each thinks, either philosophically
or politically, should or should not be the final bill. If that were possible,
compromises would have started at the summit."
No Mr. Spooner - this is what makes America GREAT. We all have
different thoughts and directions that we think America should go. The call that
DEMOCRACY. The first bill didn't work for ANYONE left or right. So chunk it.
Start over. But nooo....it is Obama! He knows what is great and good for us.
Mr. Spooner continues :
"As the President and Nancy Pelosi have pointed out,
Republicans may not vote for the final bill despite many of their good ideas
having already been incorporated into the proposed Democratic bill. The bill was
already a bipartisan even before the President added even more Republican ideas
after the summit. Republicans, however, are reluctant to take credit for their
own ideas."
No Mr. Spooner - you arrogant fool - the GOP and even going more
right - the tea party people have had enough of "do-good" democrats telling us
that they know better what is good for us. Government is not the answer. So stop
trying to convince us that the government is better for us. We do not need you,
your beloved government including Nancy Pelosi, telling us what is good for us.
We are free Americans. Maybe if you love government so much - go live in Canada.
Oh wait, you will have to come to the US for your health care or you might die
waiting in a line or for an appointment?
Now here is what Mr. Spooner goes of the reservation and you
have to really laugh :
"Bipartisanship does not mean a 50-50 agreement between
the political parties, especially when one party has the presidency and
substantial majorities in both houses of Congress."
Really? It doesn't?
Okay Spooner - have "your party" go ahead and pass the bill with
reconciliation. Do it - get it on. And then watch the GOP majority next year and
watch every waking breath of congress through reconciliation pass as many bills
as they can to gut that health care bill.
Maybe you should tell your readers that the "tax" starts
immediately - and the benefits - well they don't get cranked up until four years
late - you know - when you know who is gone?
Now for the killer :
"In the absence of a bipartisan bill that can get 60 votes
in the Senate, Democrats are apparently willing to win with 51 votes. According
to Republicans, such "reconciliation" was a good idea when George W. Bush and
Republicans used it, but it has become "shoving down the throats" of Americans
if used by Democrats."
Now we see the true democrat in Ronald Spooner. The "educator"
is highly uneducated.
What is "reconciliation?"
Well let's use the rule :
"Reconciliation is a legislative process of
the
United States Senate intended to allow
consideration of a contentious budget bill
without the threat of
filibuster. Introduced in
1974,
reconciliation streamlines the debate and amendment process.
Reconciliation also exists in the
United States House of Representatives, but because the
House regularly passes rules that constrain debate and
amendment, the process has had a less significant impact on that
body."So now we know that "reconciliation is used by
congress exclusively for "consideration of a contentious budget
bill."
Wait Ronald? Wait? Isn't this a HEALTH CARE BILL? It has
NOTHING to do with the budget? Nothing?
Oh Ronald - we know - Medicare and Medicaid - is a budget
issue? Okay Ronald - deal with that issue - but stay away from
the private sector. The government has NO RIGHT to mandate us to
pay for health care.
And let us be a little more clearer. IF AND WE MEAN IF
Congress rams this through and the president signs it - well
enjoy it till January. Then everything begins to change again.
You see Ronald all you democrats know what to do is spend other
peoples money. How about if I show up to your bank and take some
money for something that I want? You would have a fit. Well
buddy - there are many of us out there that are tired of paying
for others stuff. We are trying to pay for our own stuff. And it
takes almost four months of working to pay for others stuff now.
Then we get to our stuff. So - Ronald - if you democrats like to
pay for each others stuff - do it. But leave the rest of us out.
As for the Port Arthur News? You print this stuff? And then
you wonder why we all turn our backs and don't buy you?
Go find someone that has a counter point. A good counter
point to Mr. Spooner. You might be surprised how many people
there are that MIGHT BUY YOUR PAPER?
But what do we know? We are just a low tech, bad spelling
internet site that has grown by 4,000% over the last five years.
While your paper has shrunk?
We are just saying? People are tired of being taken on a
guilt trip that we do not do enough for others because that is
what we all seem to be doing now - doing for others when we are
having trouble doing for ourselves. Enough GOVERNMENT. Enough.
Ronald Spooner is getting a check from the Retired Teachers
Association - after getting a check from the people to teach our
kids. And this is the crap he taught them? No wonder we have a
batch of screwed up kids that want from others and don't want to
go out and earn it. It is because of liberal whack jobs like
Ronald Spooner that are simply off their rockers.
But don't blame Ronald - he only knows about taking from us
the taxpayers - not giving. And what he did give screwed up a
generation of people that are now beholden to the NANNY
GOVERNMENT to take care of them.
A shame - a true Shame.
Oscar
One of two things are going to happen this
spring. Either Oscar Ortiz will come in and shake things up - or he will be done
as a politico forever. There is no in-between.
Oscar Ortiz kicked off this official campaign this past week in
his race for taking back the Mayors chair post term limits four years ago.
Ortiz, the former Mayor of Port Arthur, is well known for his bitch slaps of his
political opponents and as well his focus on what is good for Port Arthur first
- then Oscar - then the chips land where they land.
Oritz will face a very very strong Delores Prince - the current
Mayor. Which has set some ugly tones already. Like the fire chief running to the
city manager for cover, and the police chief ready to throw his hands in the air
and say what next. Two men - that should not be pulled into a political battle -
who in the end will.
Setting politics aside for a moment - we find that Port Arthur
is a dying town. With corruption everywhere.
Where?
Well let's just drop a hint. How about the EDC and the members
of the EDC board that are under investigation? Or maybe ease on over to the Port
Arthur Housing Authority which a long time undercover investigation has
suggested that over $50,000 in money has been requested for the Housing
Authority from places like the Regional Planning Commission when the money is
getting channeled to? How about Houston and San Antonio? And the Review has
learned it was really a sting operation - indictments coming?
And it does not stop there.
The infrastructure is failing. Crime is....
Well never mind. We don't want to kick this dead horse any
longer. It is just a dying community that has one thing left - the plants. And
they milk them for money as fast and as hard as they can, then kick them in the
nuts and tell them they are not giving enough - and they want more.
City Council? Well we have already given an example of that this
week. Telling the plant managers to hire citizens of the city - yet the council
hires a Dallas PR Firm to do their work passing up two PR firms in the county?
And then adding insult to injury? Get this - two of the city
council members got inside deals (watch the next few weeks) on
some...well....let's just say pressuring business leaders to do things their way
or else? It is like a mini Jefferson County Commissioners Court. And that is
funny.
In the end - Oscar is going to have to stand on his own two
feet. But our guess is that he will lose. The blacks run the city. That simple.
that true. And Oscar isn't black. And the Mexican Vote and the White Vote
doesn't match the black vote.
But - never say never to this man. It will be interesting to
watch. It will be ugly. And watch for department heads to run for cover. And if
Oscar wins - leaders will walk. And that might not be a bad thing in some cases
- but in others it would be really bad.
Old School meets politically correct blacks.
Fun Fun Fun! For everyone!
Kiss Off
Wow! And we missed it?
We got a call this past Friday from a close source to one of the
plant managers with a close relationship with the industrial council who tells
the Review that they are "furious" with the Port Arthur City Council after
awarding a contract with Phillips Productions this past week to help with Port
Arthur's image.
The reason? And it is not what you think!
"These guys up on Port Arthur City Council sit there and lecture
us about who we hire. They do this demand thing about hiring local help. They
tell us we are bad business partners and beat us up in the media. But what the
hell does Port Arthur due? They hire a Dallas firm to redo Port Arthur's image?
Is there nobody in Port Arthur or Jefferson County they can hire?" - asked the
source.
And then they went on to say : "It is typical. And I know I
speak for all the plant managers in this area. They (the Port Arthur City
Council) can kiss off. They are going to spend again another hundred thousand
dollars on a firm in Dallas? And they cannot find anyone here? That is crap. You
are not going to lecture us anymore."
Ouch.
And our take is that we AGREE. And we must admit we did not even
think about it last week in our story.
Again - Bob Phillips and his production company is a damn good
company. But the Port Arthur City Council just did what they always do. Which is
Government telling the people and businesses what they should do - but then do
the opposite of how they demand us to do it.
But remember - it is Port Arthur. And frankly they simply don't
get reality. And they are government out of control in asking us to do what they
won't or ignore.
So - kiss off? Yep. This is a classic example.
