Why Is Rick Wagoner Fired and Nancy Pelosi Still Working?
by Ann Coulter
04/01/2009
Apparently, it's OK for Obama to fire the head of General Motors, but Bush
can't fire his own U.S. attorneys.
It is generally agreed that the Obama administration's demand that Rick Wagoner
resign as chairman of General Motors is the price of GM's accepting government
money.
To promote the sales of GM vehicles, Obama says the government will stand by
your GM car warranty. And all the taxpayers will get a lube job. The new GM
owner's manual will come with a disclaimer: "Close enough for government
work."Now that we're all agreed that the government can make hiring and firing
decisions based on infusions of taxpayer money, I can think of a lot more
government beneficiaries who are badly in need of firing.
Just off the top of my head, how about Barney Frank, Chris Dodd and everybody
at the Department of Education?
How about firing all the former Weathermen, like Bill Ayers, Bernardine Dohrn
and Mark Rudd, whose university salaries are subsidized by the taxpayer?
Nearly every university in the country accepts government money. Is there any
industry in America more in need of some "restructuring" than academia? What's
Berkeley's "business plan" to stop turning out graduates who hate America?
And what is Obama's justification for keeping Shirley M. Tilghman as president
of Princeton University as long as Princeton employs prominent crackpot Peter
Singer?
Singer, the Ira W. DeCamp Professor of Bioethics at Princeton's Center for
Human Values, believes parents should have the right to kill newborn babies
with birth defects, such as Down syndrome and hemophilia, and says there is
nothing morally wrong with parents conceiving children in order to harvest them
for spare parts for an older child -- or even for society to breed children on
a massive scale for spare parts.
His views on these issues are so extreme I'm surprised Singer hasn't been
offered a position in the Obama cabinet yet. Perhaps he paid his taxes and was
disqualified.
Singer compares the black liberation movement to the liberation of apes, saying
we must "extend to other species the basic principle of equality that most of
us recognize should be extended to all members of our own species." (Imagine if
Rush Limbaugh had said that and then go lie down for 20 minutes.)
The esteemed professor Singer also believes sex with animals is acceptable and
has no objections to necrophilia -- provided the deceased gave consent when
still alive. We're still waiting to hear his views on sex with dead animals.
Especially me, as I have no plans for next weekend.
Doesn't a "new vision" for Princeton -- which benefits from massive taxpayer
subsidies in the form of student loans and government grants -- require firing
the president of Princeton? That university is clearly teetering on the brink
of moral bankruptcy.
When is the government going to get around to firing 99 percent of public
school superintendents? They're clearly turning out an inferior product --
i.e., America's public school graduates -- as compared to some of the foreign
models now available.
In New York City, spending on public schools increased by more than 300 percent
between 1982 and 2001, coming in at $11,474 per pupil annually -- compared to
about $5,000 for private schools.
But in 2003, a New York court ruled that graduates of New York City's public
schools did not have the skills to be "capable of voting and serving on a
jury." (Worse, some kids coming out of New York high schools are so stupid they
don't even know how to get out of jury duty.)
If Obama can tell GM and Chrysler that their participation in NASCAR is an
"unnecessary expenditure," isn't having public schools force students to follow
Muslim rituals, recite Islamic prayers and plan "jihads" also an "unnecessary
expenditure"? Are all those school condom purchases considered "necessary
expenditures"?
Illegal aliens cost the American taxpayer more than $10 billion a year, net, in
Medicaid, Medicare, food stamps, free school lunches, prison, school and court
costs. And yet cities, counties and states across the nation are openly
refusing to enforce federal immigration law against illegal aliens -- all while
accepting billions of dollars of stimulus money on top of a litany of other
federal payouts.
Shouldn't somebody be fired over this? Like maybe Geraldo Rivera?
How about hauling San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom before a congressional
committee and firing him? In fact, just being named "Gavin Newsom" should be
grounds for dismissal. San Francisco is getting $18 million of stimulus money
-- to say nothing of its residents who receive federal money in the form of
Social Security payments, government grants, welfare payments, federal highway
funds and on and on and on.
Doesn't PBS take federal funds? Obama should really ask Big Bird to step down.
While we're at it, shouldn't Tim Geithner be fired?
Now that the government owns everything, there's no end to the dead wood that
can be cleared out.
Except the problem is -- as this very partial list demonstrates -- most of the
dead wood exists only because of the government in the first place. Capitalism
has its own methods of clearing out dead wood, which the government keeps
preventing by forcing the taxpayer to bail out capitalism's losers.

WASHINGTON (AP) - A Senate defense committee chairman says Pentagon budget will
include large, painful cuts. Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Carl
Levin(DEMOCRATE ) said Tuesday that major program cuts will not be pushed off
until the 2011 budget, but will be included when Defense Secretary Robert Gates
sends his spending plan to the president later this month.
Levin's comments confirmed what many contractors and military leaders have
expected, but he offered no details on which programs may be axed. He said
Pentagon officials have indicated they will not be able to submit the
much-anticipated spending plan by April 21, as initially hoped.

FOR CAMBODIA Strong Resolution on Cambodia Human Rights Abuses
Feb. 27, 1982 : UN Commission on Human Rights meeting in Geneva adopted a
resolution condemning Vietnam’s occupation of Cambodia as a violation of
Cambodian human rights. The vote was 28 in favor, 8 against, and 5 abstentions.
Oct. 21, 1986 The UN General Assembly adopted a resolution A/RES/41/6, by vote
of 116-21 with 13 abstentions, calling for a withdrawal of Vietnamese forces
from Cambodia.
10 UN RESOLUTIONS,(1979-1988) VOTED BY 116 UN MEMBER COUNTRIES ,CALL VIETNAM TO
CEASE HER OCCUPATION OF CAMBODIA & REMOVE ALL HER TROOPS FROM THE COUNTRY, ARE
NOT RESPECTED AS OF TODAY.
Oct. 21, 1986 The UN General Assembly adopted a resolution A/RES/41/6, by vote
of 116-21 with 13 abstentions, calling for a withdrawal of Vietnamese forces
from Cambodia.
President Reagan's address to the 43d Session of the United Nations General
Assembly in New York, New York,September 26, 1988.
"Mr. Secretary-General, there are new hopes for Cambodia, a nation whose
freedom and independence we seek just as avidly as we sought the freedom and
independence of Afghanistan. We urge the rapid removal of all Vietnamese troops
...."
As of today,Cambodia is still occupied by the Vietnamese troops despite the
call from the US president to Vietnam to cease her occupation of Cambodia since
1988.
Cambodia needs Independence from Vietnam and the Vietnamese invaders.
Vietnam must cease her occupation of Cambodia at once.
