Scare Force One fallout

The Underground Conservative — Sat, 09 May 2009 02:16:30 +0000

Scare Force One flies past the Statue of Liberty

Looks like the Obama staffer who is supposedly responsible for the Scare Force one debacle has been asked to fall on his sword:

The White House aide who authorized the controversial Air Force One photo-op flight last week around the Statue of Liberty is out of a job.

President Obama has accepted the resignation of Louis Caldera, the director of the White House Military Office, the Daily News learned Friday.

A secretary of the Army in the Clinton administration, Caldera took the fall for the public relations fiasco arising from the April 27 flyover, which was designed to replace a publicity photo of Air Force One flying past Mount Rushmore with a similar shot of Obama’s 747 jumbo jet over the Statue of Liberty.

Michelle Malkin notes:

Caldera’s disappearance under the Obama bus does not and should not end questions about the origin of the p.r. photo-op mission’s request, who participated, how it went down, and where protocol failed. And remember: Someone was planning a second flyover photo-op in Washington, D.C.

Great. A $327,000 publicity stunt that scared a nervous city almost cost double that.

Porkulus air waste plus our parody website

The Underground Conservative — Wed, 06 May 2009 22:26:42 +0000

The Obama government’s blowing $154 million of your money and mine on low-traffic rural airports, as noted by Michelle Malkin on her blog today.

Lovely. Oh, the best part of it as that at least some of these airports are already otherwise subsidized by–you guessed it–your money and mine.

In “honor” of this waste plus the $780-plus billion dollars of pork and other garbage Obama wants to waste, we created Robbery.US.com, a parody of Obummer’s Recovery.gov ~~waste~~website.

100 days of incompetence and arrogance, plus…

The Underground Conservative — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 10:41:22 +0000

Today, the Obama administration “celebrates” 100 days of appeasement, incompetence, tax dodging, America-bashing, arrogance, spending like there’s no tomorrow, a photo op that scared our largest city, bowing to arab kings, and more. Michelle Malkin posts a column on her blog today that covers Obummer’s ~~worst~~first 100 day of disaster.

One of the worst things (I know, there are so many to choose from) Obummer’s done is to saddle our kids and grandkids with a massive debt, thanks to the massive Porkulus bill. For that reason, we created a pardoy of his Recovery.gov website called Robbery.US.com. Be sure to visit it and leave a comment on the feedback page!

A new friend

Just wanted to let you know of a new friend whose blog we’ve added to our blogroll (under “Conservative Blogs”). His name is Tom Scherer and he’s a candidate for Congress from the state of Kansas. Visit his blog, New Style Kansas Politics, which focuses on government pork and wasteful spending in the Sunflower State.

Iowahawk does it again

Iowahawk’s latest is, as always, hilarious and so true. I’ll just give you the title-within-the-title:

Texas to secede?

The Underground Conservative — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 22:45:53 +0000

None other than Texas Governor Rick Perry today alluded to secession while at a tea party in Austin:

Perry called his supporters patriots. Later, answering news reporters’ questions, Perry suggested Texans might at some point get so fed up they would want to secede from the union, though he said he sees no reason why Texas should do that.

“There’s a lot of different scenarios,” Perry said. “We’ve got a great union. There’s absolutely no reason to dissolve it. But if Washington continues to thumb their nose at the American people, you know, who knows what might come out of that. But Texas is a very unique place, and we’re a pretty independent lot to boot.”

Holy moley! I’m suddenly thinking about moving to Texas…

Tax Day Tea Parties plus Recovery.gov parody

The Underground Conservative — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 20:17:37 +0000

Today is the big day for the Tea Party movement, and of course, the liberals’ favorite day (well, except for tax cheat Tim Geithner). According to Michelle Malkin, 800 tea party protests are taking place across the country. Michelle has the best coverage anyway, with pics and video too, so you should check out her blog. Expect the lamestream media to downplay and mischaracterize the whole thing, as much as they can get away with, anyway.

In other, related news, I remind you that I’ve just unveiled a parody website of the Obama government’s Generational Theft Act/Porkulus/Spendulus bill website, Recovery.gov. It’s called, appropriately enough, Robbery.US.com. Visit it today!

Unveiling new parody website: Robbery.US.com

The Underground Conservative — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 03:50:55 +0000

I’m officially unveiling Robbery.US.com, a parody of Obama’s Recovery.gov, just in time for tax day and the tea parties. I put a lot of work into it. Hope you like!
