DEMOCRATS START PICKING THEIR TARGETS FOR 2014…
Well it would seem that once again we will get to find out just what the priorities of American women really are. Will it be their ability to obtain an abortion, or free birth control that remains the most important issue for women, or is it commonsense that will prevail this time around with the most important issue being their ability to find a job? Personally, I’m not holding out for commonsense to make much of an appearance. I’ve never really been able to understand how so many intelligent women could go so absolutely stupid upon entering the voting booth.
So rumor has it that Democrats are now busily strategizing on how they can best get women to the polls this November, postulating that the fairer sex may be the party's best hope of saving it from near total decimation in November. While acknowledging that there is little hope of Democrats doing well enough to gain control of the House, pundits and pollsters alike believe there is a strong likelihood that the GOP may well win back the Senate. And the party leaders are hoping that women may be just the ticket, allowing the party to limit the damage.
Anyway, the supposed plan that Democrats will attempt to activate is one that has them doing their best to: recruit female candidates in competitive districts, craft a message that the GOP is anti-woman, and use technology to target unmarried women in an effort to get them to the polls for the midterms. Female Democrats have always struck me in much the same way that black Democrats do. These people lie unabashedly to those like them, and for no other reason than to convince them to vote against that which is in their own best interest. It’s all really quite bizarre.
It was the Wall Street Journal which has reported that combining all Wall Street Journal/NBC News polls conducted in 2014, 49 percent of women prefer a Democratic-controlled Congress, compared with men, who prefer, by 13 points, a Congress controlled by the GOP. College-educated white women, who the Journal characterizes as "stalwarts of the party", tilt even more toward Democrats and are also more reliable to make it to the polls. But winning their votes in the current political climate may be more than an uphill battle.
Apparently white women are unhappy with Barry's economic record with 58 percent saying they disapprove of his performance in the economy and by a 3-point margin, 46 percent to 43 percent, have said this year that they prefer a Congress controlled by Republicans to come out of this year's election. Also, older white women lean more Republican than do younger women. It would seem that with age and responsibilities, comes a little wisdom. That and perhaps the ability to easily recognize just which party it is that’s truly waging a war on women.
As things appear right now, House Democrats plan on taking a page from Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe's victory last year, a win credited primarily to women voters, who supported him by 9 points over the Republican candidate, Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli. Unmarried women, or I guess those who prefer to spend their days flat on their back, instead of working to support themselves, supported McAuliffe at an even larger margin, 67 percent to 25 percent. So once again we were witness to the self-destructive priorities of many women.
Meanwhile those of us fighting to save our country may, yet again, be forced to deal with a bunch of brain-dead females whose primary purpose in life appears being able to continue on their search for that ever elusive, perfect orgasm. After all, that’s just oh so much more important that protecting our country for future generations. Right? I don’t know, maybe I’m wrong. If the country’s already lost, why bother trying to save it. Why not join those on their search for that perfect orgasm. Maybe there’ll be some stragglers to be had. Just kidding!
SO NOW WE’RE ALLOWING THE USDA TO WEAPONIZE???
Riddle me this…Why is it that the United States Department of Agriculture would need to purchase .40 caliber submachine guns, and with 30 round magazines, no less? Because on May 7th there was a solicitation made by the U.S. Department of Agriculture seeking "the commercial acquisition of submachine guns [in] .40 Cal. S&W." I’d be very curious to know what exactly these folks might be expecting to be called upon to do.
According to the solicitation, the Dept. of Agriculture wants the guns to have an "ambidextrous safety, semiautomatic or 2 round [bursts] trigger group, Tritium night sights front and rear, rails for attachment of flashlight (front under fore group) and scope (top rear), stock collapsible or folding," and a "30 rd. capacity" magazine. Why would we EVER need to weaponize our Dept. of Agriculture? Does that make sense? To anybody?
AND, they also want the submachine guns to have a "sling," be "lightweight," and have an "oversized trigger guard for gloved operation." The solicitation directs "all responsible and/or interested sources...[to] submit their company name, point of contact, and telephone." Companies that submit information in a "timely" fashion "shall be considered by the agency for contact to determine weapon suitability." Weapon suitability??
What the Hell is going on here? It seems that with each passing day I am able to recognize a little less of my country. And to say that I have virtually no trust in the sleazy thug who now sits in the Oval Office would be an understatement. Now I’m no fan of conspiracy theories, but I gotta say, that when something like this happens all kinds of things can start running through my head. And what’s the rationale for something like this anyway?
And at what point are the American people going to finally say enough of this rabid arming of these government agencies that have absolutely no business possessing weapons of ANY kind! This is another perfect example of the madness that has been steadily underway in this country ever since that fateful day back in January of 2009. We’re going to have to come to our senses before it’s too late, if it’s not too late already! WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!!

CHUCKIE SCHUMER CONTINUES HIS PUSH FOR AMNESTY…
I seriously doubt that you will ever find, anywhere here on planet Earth, a more despicable individual than that most despicable of all individuals, Chuckie Schumer. That is, of course, unless the very first place you were to begin your search was the Oval Office between now and January 2017. My main reason for making such a claim stems from some rather idiotic comments made by Chuckie, just today as a matter of fact, when he took it upon himself to name Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) as the main Republican impediment to "immigration reform", or amnesty, in the House.
Now this is the second time in as many weeks that Chuckie has taken it upon himself to demonize King for opposing amnesty for the 11 million immigrants who are now in this country illegally. Chuckie was heard to say, "It is time for the House Republican leadership to decide whether they stand with the majority of the American people and the supposed majority of their conference, or if they're really going to let Steve King continue to dictate the policy of the Republican Party on immigration. Just to be clear, right now Steve King is winning." And good for him!!!
It seems that Chuckie also took it upon himself to set an August deadline for the House Republicans to pass an immigration bill. And he said that if nothing were to be done by then, Barry "Almighty" "would be more than justified" in making "whatever changes he feels necessary" to ‘fix’ the system for people who are "unfairly burdened." Unfairly burdened? How’s that? Because they willingly choose to break our laws by continuing to remain in OUR country illegally? These people are criminals by their own volition. Hardly a qualifier for being allowed to remain here.
It was in a speech on the Senate floor that Chuckie said it's been 320 days since the Senate passed an immigration reform bill, but House Republicans have done nothing except hand the gavel to "far-right extremists like Steve King." I find such an accusation to be more than just a little ironic, especially when coming from someone who is himself nothing more than a "far-left extremist". The fact is that only ones you’re likely to find further to the left than old Chuckie here, would be, of course, Barry "Almighty" and his wannabe successor, Hitlery ‘The Stroke-Victim’ Clinton.
Chuckie went on to provide his ultimatum, of sorts, saying that Republicans ‘must’ act between early June and the August recess: "If immigration reform is not passed during this window, Republicans will have to admit that Steve King controls the Republican Party platform on immigration. If nothing happens during this window, it is clear that this has occurred because Steve King calls the shots and he has won the immigration debate among the House Republicans." I think we can all agree that Chuckie is nothing if not the consummate hypocritical asshole.
And, again according to Chuckie, if Republicans don't act before the midterm election, "the president would be more than justified in acting any time after recess begins to take whatever changes he feels necessary to make our immigration system work better for those unfairly burdened by our broken laws. If House Republicans refuse to act, it is incumbent on all of us to look at all the areas where we can act administratively...." Ya know, it takes a significant level of arrogance to dictate to the opposition what they must do and by when. Personally, I’d tell old Chuckie to go f*ck himself!
King’s response was honest and straight forward. He simply said that he is fighting to preserve the rule of law. "Why would we reward people for breaking our laws?" he asked in April. "Rewarding law breakers produces more law breakers." King said Chuckie knows that passing an amnesty bill "would destroy Republican unity and our opportunity to gain the majority in the Senate this Fall." And while King is exactly right, I fear that our weak-kneed, eunuch of a Speaker may not be on the same page. Things I’ve heard, and attributed to the speaker, have been rather unsettling.
AL ‘BULL HORN’ SHARPTON SAYS, “AFRICA IS BEING IGNORED.”
It was during a recent segment of his MSNBC show, "PoliticsNation," that everyone’s favorite faux preacher, Al ‘Bull Horn’ Sharpton, complained to his viewing audience of a dozen or so folks about the fact that it took too long for the U.S. to make an issue out of the kidnapping of 200 Nigerian schoolgirls last month. Well, maybe old ‘Bull Horn’ should be asking his old buddy, Barry, about that. Because while this issue may have spent much time on the back burner being ignored by a lot of Al’s friends on the left, as well as those in the state-controlled media, those on the right have been talking it up practically since day one!
Old ‘Bull Horn" said, "The real issue is why it took weeks to even make this an issue, why Africa is ignored, when unless we get to a super crisis, it's not even dealt with. Rwanda was ignored until many of us just kept beating the drums and raising the voice level, and the same with Sudan." And then in what was an attempt, I guess, to claim some level of credit for it finally receiving the level of attention that it has, ‘Bull Horn’ went on to say, "If it wasn't for [civil rights activist and Sirius/XM radio talk show host] Joe Madison and others and I went, that wouldn't have become an issue, ignored."
As has been reported, Boko Haram, the terrorist group responsible for kidnapping the girls, released a video this past Monday showing the girls in Muslim garb, chanting a declaration to the Islamic faith. The fact is that for two years, Barry & Co. resisted calls to designate Boko Haram as a terrorist group, until doing so last November. And again the reason for the delay was because organizations on the left, such as MoveOn.org, were busy lobbying Barry & Co. to delay assigning such a moniker to what was so very obviously a terrorist group. So old ‘Bull Horn’ needs to be looking a little closer at those on is his home team.
‘Bull Horn’ said, "Africa is the most mineral rich continent in the world. Why do we ignore terrorism and genocide in Africa until we can't ignore it any longer? That's the other side of the broader question of this whole attack, and we've got to keep the world's attention on this until these girls are brought home. I don't care what the other side says. There shouldn't be another side." Now I’m not all that sure what ‘Bull Horn’ means when he mentions "the other side." Because, as I said, the stiffest resistance to calling this group a terrorist organization has come from ‘Bull Horn’s’ many friends on the left.
And as just a little side note here, who is it that remembers how South Africa and Rhodesia once had thriving economies? But then what happened? Control was handed over to the blacks. And have you ever noticed that whenever a country has black leadership, even here in America with our own black president, there seems to be only one possible direction for that country to then go? DOWN! Because what you ultimately end up with is a country that descends into chaos, be it economic, social, financial, or all three, you also have an increase in racial tension as well as rampant corruption in the government.

WE MUST STOP THE MADNESS…
Does that the fact our government could have, thus far in FY 2014, brought in more than $1.7 Trillion and still manage to be far short of being able to meet its obligations strike anyone other than myself as being completely unacceptable? And then consider the fact that, even though federal tax revenues will continue to run at a record pace in the months that remain in FY 2014, when the fiscal year finally does draw to a close, we will still end up being far short of the amount needed to pay all of our bills.
Despite bringing in this record amount of revenue, the federal government still managed to run a deficit of over $306 Billion in the first seven months of the fiscal year, which began back on Oct. 1, 2013 and will end on Sept. 30, 2014. Oddly enough, in the month of April itself, which usually sees the peak tax revenues for the year, the federal government actually ran a surplus of $106.9 Billion. While taking in $414.2 Billion in total receipts during the month, the government spent $307.4 Billion.
And it was in fiscal 2013, that the federal government also ran a one-month surplus in April, taking in $406.7 billion during the month and spending $293.8 billion, leaving a surplus of $112.9 billion. However, after that one-month April 2013 surplus, the federal government was quick to return to its typically reckless ways in May 2013, when it took in roughly $197 billion in tax receipts while spending nearly twice as much at around $335 billion, which left a deficit of nearly $139 billion for the month.
Our stellar federal government ended up FY 2013 by running up a deficit of over $680 Billion. And in looking ahead at the remainder of FY 2014, the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has now estimated that the insanity is in no way slowing down. The OMB estimates that in the full FY 2014, the federal government will collect a little over $3 Trillion in taxes while at the same time managing to spend roughly $3.6 Trillion and therefore ending up by running a deficit of nearly $649 Billion.
And so the plundering of our once great nation continues at a record pace. Most people realize that this insanity can’t go on indefinitely. But at the same time people must come to realize that this insane level of spending is seen by some as actually being a means to an end. Because what is now underway is nothing more than a very purposeful attempt to create such a unbearable strain on our economic and financial systems, courtesy of an overwhelming amount of debt, that everything will simply come crashing down on itself.
And who is it that we can thank for creating this sinister game plan? I suppose the quick answer would be those in our government who not only hate the freedoms we are still able to enjoy in this country, but also our free-market economy and our system of government, and who seek to destroy it. And it should be fairly obvious that it is many of those in the Democrat Party. Men and women who have absolutely no business being in the positions that they are in and are therefore able to attack our country from the inside.
It is these despicable, self-serving, power-hungry politicians who work to convince the uninformed, the lazy and the less intelligent to vote for them in exchange for certain government ‘benefits’ which have a much better chance of becoming a reality if the ‘right’ people are elected. Many people allow themselves to be convinced that their place in life is not the result of their own poor choices, but can instead be blamed on those who made better choices and have therefore been able to make a better life for themselves and their families.
Until the days comes, and at the rate we’re presently going it may not have the chance to arrive, that people are willing to once again take personal responsibility for their actions, and to claim ownership of their shitty little lives, nothing will change. We’ll continue on in our rapidly accelerating downward spiral until we plow full speed right into the deck. And all that we once had will be gone forever. And maybe then we’ll finally realize what it is that we’ve lost, and wonder why it was that we were so willing to give it all away.
OXYMORON = DEMOCRAT TRUTH SQUAD…
![]() |
| 'THE WEASEL' |
Which brings me to that perennial Clinton apologist, Lanny ‘The Weasel’ Davis. I’m sure you’ll all remember ‘The Weasel’ from the days when he served as White House counsel back during the ‘BJ’ Clinton administration. In what is now most definitely nothing more than an attempt to salvage Hitlery Clinton, ‘The Weasel’ says that he intends to lead a "truth squad" in an effort to ensure that the ‘facts’ are told to people attending the Benghazi select committee hearings. I’m sure ‘The Weasel’ will have little trouble in coming up with his own very unique set of ‘facts’.
Apparently ‘The Weasel’ has comprised, or is in the process of doing so, a team of what he calls truth seeking volunteers. And he says that it’s this little squad of truth seekers which will be stationed outside the committee room each and every day of the hearings. Hearings which will be led by Republican Rep. Trey Gowdy, a former prosecutor and a guy who appears to be an honest fella. But ‘The Weasel’ apparently wanted to make sure that Rep. Gowdy knows that he, ‘The Weasel’, will be watching. Something that I’m sure bothers Mr’ Gowdy very little, if at all.
So ‘The Weasel’ made his announcement Monday night on Fox News Channel's "The Kelly File." ‘The Weasel’ said, "We'll be available to put the facts out." He added, "The Republicans who are critical about what happened in Benghazi should not fear the truth. We're not going to use adjectives, we're not going to engage in personal attacks." Actually, from what I’ve been able to make out so far is that the only ones who seem to be afraid of the truth ever getting out are also the very same ones that ‘The Weasel’ is so desperate to protect.
‘The Weasel’ said that the "truth squad" will be there to "correct the record" whenever a Republican uses "innuendo as a surrogate." And apparently, ‘The Weasel’s’ truth squad will be relying on something called, ‘Correct the Record’ as a way of getting their propaganda out. Those unfamiliar with ‘Correct the Record’ will be interested to know that it is the communications and ‘rapid response arm’ of a pro-Hitlery Clinton super PAC. So I’m thinking that a much more appropriate name for this little group would be ‘Distort the Record.’
Host Megyn Kelly went on to ask ‘The Weasel’ whether he didn't trust Democrats on the select committee to keep the Republicans in check. ‘The Weasel’ said that he hoped the Democrats will agree to be on the committee. But he admitted that some in the party have suggested they won't participate because they think the hearing is a Republican witch hunt. But if they do participate, ‘The Weasel’ said his group will be there to back them up. What is it, do you suppose, that ‘The Weasel’ is so afraid of? That people will come to realize that when that 3 am phone call came, all Hitlery did was to roll over and go back to sleep?
And is anyone other than me curious about why is it that whenever the Republicans are trying to do nothing more than discover just what it is that this ‘most transparent’ of administrations has been up to, it’s always referred to as being a witch hunt? And yet when the Democrats are pursing that which is so very obviously nothing more than a witch hunt, they are allowed to make the claim that they are on the side of the American and are doing nothing more than merely attempting to get to the truth. Democrats wouldn’t know the truth if it came up and bit them on the ass.
Look, the only reason that House Speaker John Boehner finally created the select committee in the first place, and appointed seven Republicans was after a previously unreleased email managed to emerge from a White House official urging then-U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice to blame the attack that killed four Americans on some anti-Muslim video. And the fact that ‘The Weasel’ seems so intent on protecting those that took part in this scheme, proves that he’s far more interested in protecting Hitlery than he is in discovering the ‘truth’.
I just find it all rather unseemly that ‘The Weasel’ would think nothing of expending so much time and effort in doing nothing more than protecting those who chose to desert four Americans, making what was a very conscious decision, because of politics, to simply leave those men there to be butchered by a mob of Muslim fanatics. That ‘The Weasel’ would in any way see that as being acceptable behavior for our Commander-in-Chief, says as much about him as it does about the slimy cast of characters involved in covering up the events of that night in September 2012.

OBAMACARE: NOTHING BUT ONE BIG LIE AFTER ANOTHER…AND YET…
Now I could swear that one of the many promises we were made about just how great this Obamacare thing was going to be, besides, of course, the one made, and repeated about 30 times, about how we’d be able to keep our doctor if we liked him, or her, was the one made about how it was going to reduce healthcare costs. Well we all know the first promise was nothing more than a bunch of bullshit and now, as it turns out, we find out that the second one is as well.
Because according to a recent report in the Wall Street Journal, consumers enrolled in Obamacare can expect to see an increase, and in some cases a pretty sizable one, in their monthly insurance premiums after the next election. And as it turns out those increases will "easily" outpace inflation, with every insurer in at least one state opting for rate increases. Now who other than your basic brain-dead Democrat, is really going to be surprised by such news?
According to official filings by insurance companies in Virginia for 2015, average rate increases range from 3.3 percent to as high as 16.6 percent for those enrolled in the online exchange, depending on the type of plan a consumer holds. And let’s not forget that Virginia’s new governor is a big Obamacare supporter. And I just can’t help but feel that all the while Barry was telling us about how this plan would save us all some money, he knew that it wouldn’t.
And something else that should not come as a surprise is the fact that these rate increases are directly related to the new costs insurers face under Obamacare due to the higher expense of insuring less healthy, previously uninsured enrollees, and also because of the new fees insurers are facing under the new healthcare law. At least that’s what one company told the Journal. So you have to ask yourself, how could this come as a surprise to Barry? It couldn’t!
Virginia is the first state to publicly release rate proposals for 2015, with other states expected to follow as early as this week, according to the Journal. In most parts of the country, figures will not be available until late summer. Predictions of rate increases have varied widely, but the projections for Virginia fall far short of what we were all told we could expect. Speculation nevertheless continues about the rise of future premiums under the new healthcare law.
Administration officials, including outgoing Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, have long said they expect rates to increase but believed provisions in the legislation designed to compensate insurers with higher medical claims would hold down rate increases. Virginia is one of the 36 states participating in the federal online insurance exchange through HealthCare.gov, with it being estimated that 216,000 Virginians were enrolled by 31 Mar.
And just to pass on a little personal experience of my own as it relates to this Obamacare fiasco. I was recently forced to change from an insurance plan that would have covered completely some recent testing that I had to have, to an insurance plan from which I received a bill for $600 for the very same testing. And all because of Obamacare. So this boondoggle definitely ain’t saving me any money! Each new day brings another new lie about Obamacre. What a deal!
Apparently, news about escalating premiums hasn’t seemed to do much to alter what many Democrats are saying about they’re being able to campaign on Obamacare this year. Personally, I don’t understand how anyone who has been forced into changing their insurance, or losing their doctor, could ever bring themselves to even consider voting for a Democrat. But if most Americans are content to receive second rate healthcare, then the Democrats will win.
‘NANNY MIKE’ DEFENDS ‘THE BITCH OF BENGHAZI’…
Well the wagons have now been circled around the presumed Democrat frontrunner for 2016, Hitlery Clinton, ‘The Bitch of Benghazi’. Her gross dereliction of duty as it relates to the events of that night in September, 2012 will now be defended at all costs. And of course one of Hitlery’s most ardent defenders is none other than the former mayor of New York City, ‘Nanny Mike’ Bloomberg, who has recently come out and staunchly defended Hitlery against what he calls conservative criticism over her role as secretary of state during the September 2012 attacks in Benghazi, Libya.
The billionaire bozo who is now, supposedly a political independent after claiming at one time to have been first a Republican and then a Democrat, stated in a recent interview that "cheap politics" is what’s behind the criticism of Clinton. ‘Nanny Mike’ said, "I think most of the criticisms of Hillary are totally unfounded – you can maybe disagree with her policies, but what'd you expect her to do in Benghazi?" he asked. "I mean, it's that kind of cheap politics which I don't like. She's very competent." Mikey must have a rather unusual way to determine if someone is competent.
We’re all aware, at least those of us who actually care, how Islamist terrorists killed four Americans including the U.S. ambassador in the Benghazi violence. Hitlery's defenders are quick to point out that she has already testified before Congress and explained her actions. But the truth of the matter is that she explained nothing other than to make it quite clear that the death of those four Americans mattered very little to her. Despite the claims made by ‘Nanny Mike’, Hitlery was one of the primary cast of characters in this tragedy who sought to do nothing more than to play politics.
‘Nanny Mike’, has also, on occasion, taken the time to laud RINO Jeb Bush who he says has also come under "unfair" criticism for some of the positions he's staked out. Mikey said, "Jeb's on the board of the [Bloomberg] Foundation." He added, "I think he did a very good job on education in Florida. He's good on education. He's good on immigration, and he's had the courage to stand up." According to Mikey, both Jeb and Hitlery are "quality people." Personally I find it rather difficult to comprehend how it is that we can’t find somebody, anybody, other than a Clinton or a Bush to run.
‘Nanny Mike’ has also said that he would not venture to second guess Barry "Almighty" on foreign policy, saying that there were "no easy answers" on Ukraine, Russia, or Syria. The "bottom line" is that Europe is dependent on Russia and therefore not on board American efforts for a stronger and more unified response. On other matters, Mikey said that when he remarked that his financial contributions on behalf of gun control would secure a place in heaven for him, he was merely being flip. Like there’s anything that old Mikey could ever do that would get him through the ‘Pearly Gates.’
Look, the bottom line here is that Hitlery is no more competent for taking on the job of president than was, or is, Barry "Almighty". And frankly, neither is Jeb Bush. But Bush is a topic for another time. Hitlery recently made her positions known on both Obamacare and the Second Amendment, and as far as I’m concerned her positions on both of these important issues disqualifies her from being able to seek the presidency. If we were to elect of Hitlery, the eight years of Barry, instead of merely being a near death experience, would be made America’s official time of death.

THE DEMOCRATS AND BENGHAZI…
Now if there is one thing that we all know for certain, it’s the fact that Democrats, and that would include Barry, Hitlery and of course Nancy, care very little about how it was that four of their fellow Americans came to be brutally murdered on the night of September 11, 2012 in Benghazi, Libya. Nor do they care who was responsible. But what we also know, and with the same degree of certainty, is that they do care, and very much so, about all things related to politics. Hence the latest dilemma to be faced by the party. Because, you see, Democrats remain quite divided on whether to participate -- and if so, how much -- in the Republicans' select committee on Benghazi.
Democrats now find themselves in a bit of a quandry, and oddly enough one of their own making. Many political experts are describing as one that could actually allow the Republicans to make the most substantial gains that they have been able to make in some 20 years. And you can imagine that if the shoe were on the other foot, so to speak, and the Benghazi attack that resulted in the death of Americans had actually taken place on, say, George Bush’s watch, old Nancy would have zero qualms about holding all manner of hearings and right up to the election. But the attack didn’t happen on Bush’s watch, it happened on Barry’s and it could also serve to tarnish the perceived Democrat frontrunner to replace him.
So, because of that little problem, Democrats have been very determined in their efforts to downplay the ‘need’ for anymore hearings, making the claim that there is no there, there, and that it’s now nothing more than old news. That we have been down this road ‘so many’ times already. To use Nancy’s words, she says, "The fact is, that this is a stunt -- this is a political stunt," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told a news conference on Friday. "Issa just -- is damaged goods. They had to move from him to another venue with another chairman. That's what this is. We've been there and done this over and over again." Now had Barry & Co. not been dragging their feet for the last 20 months, that assessment might be accurate.
According to Pelosi the Democrats have several options. Some Democrat don't want to participate in the select committee at all, while others say just appoint one Democrat to the panel to keep an eye on what the Republicans are doing. Pelosi said for now, they've chosen the third option, which is to avoid making a decision until Republicans explain how they intend to run the committee. And in doing her best to sound sincere, Pelosi said, "It's very sad," in naming the four Americans who were killed in Benghazi. And then unable to resist a little storytelling, she claimed, "Two of their families have called us and said please don't take us down this path again. It's really hard for them. Very sad." But who does Nancy think it’s sad for?
Pelosi said Republicans have given up on Obamacare, so they've seized on Benghazi as the next distraction. "Now they have to find something else to talk about that isn't about how we create jobs, how we build the infrastructure of America." Pelosi said Republicans "don't believe in governance, they don't believe in science, and they want to stop Barack Obama at every step. So I don't think this is about Hillary Clinton at all, I think this is about the Republicans in 2014." In other words, if I may interpret, Republicans don’t believe in government controlled healthcare or in bogus climate change or climate ‘disruption’ of whatever the Democrats are calling it this week. In that respect, Nancy would be correct.
And yes, most importantly, it’s imperative that Barry ‘the socialist’ be stopped wherever he can be! As it is, much of what he and the Democrats have been able to do over the course of the last five years may never be able to be undone. And our country will be much the worse because of that fact. The sad fact of the matter is that our children have now been robbed of the future that they might have had. And as far as I’m concerned that is the most egregious atrocity yet committed by this man and his party. And far too many seem to be perfectly accepting of that fact. These hearings must go forward and in a responsible manner, the truth must be brought out. This charade cannot be allowed to continue, because it does make a difference!

OBAMA FAVORS ONE PARTY (DEMOCRAT PARTY) RULE…
Can anyone tell me what it was that proved to be so beneficial for the country and that came about during a time Democrats held complete control of Congress? Was it Obamacare? Was it the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform Act? Perhaps it was the Economic Stimulus Act of 2008? Or, was there any attempt made to reduce spending? Or to create jobs? Was anything positive actually done? Anything at all? NOPE! And yet Barry "Almighty" has now said that Republican opposition to, of all things, the debacle that is ObamaCare should actually disqualify them from running either chamber of Congress.
And our community agitator of a president made his insane little argument, claiming that the GOP was on the wrong side of history during, what else but, another recent fundraiser, in, of all places, a Silicon Valley. Barry said to those in attendance, "I can’t explain it, why they’re so obsessed that those folks don’t have health insurance." And our piss-poor excuse for a president went on to say, "But we’re on the right side of history on that issue. But if that’s all they got, then they shouldn’t be running either chamber. They shouldn’t be running the House and they sure should not be running the Senate."
Barry was speaking at his fifth fundraiser in only 24 hours, the last leg of a furious fundraising blitz up and down the California coast. As in previous stops, Barry fretted that the Democrat Party would not turn out for the upcoming 2014 midterm elections. He said, "Democrats have a congenital defect when it comes to our politics and that is we like voting during presidential years and during the midterms we don’t vote." He added, "We’re going to have to make sure that we are coming out with the same urgency and the same enthusiasm that we typically show during presidential years."
Roughly 250 supporters showed up for the event, where tickets ranged between $1,000 and $32,400. According to CBS News’s Mark Knoller, it was Barry’s 19th fundraiser of 2014 and his 57th benefitting Democrat candidates this cycle. Barry has rarely strayed from his core message during the fundraising appeals, although on Thursday night, Barry was driven off-script at least twice. As he was introduced to a Dionne Warwick song, the audience cheered for Barry to sing along. "No, no, no, I’m good," Barry said. "Maybe after the midterms." Let’s hope he has nothing to sing about then.
Barry is nothing if not the quintessential example for why we must have a robust two party system with two viable political parties. Remember too, that it was back when Congress passed LBJ’s ‘Great Society’ that there were Democrat majorities in both houses of Congress. Nothing good ever comes from such a thing. And as much as it pains me to say this, the Republicans didn’t really behave themselves all that well when they had control of both houses when George Bush was president. And if God willing if the Republicans do gain control of both houses this November, they must act as responsible adults.
And as far as I’m concerned, for Barry to come out and advocate that only the Democrat Party is worthy of being entrusted with the running of Congress seems more than just a little arrogant. After all, what do we really have to show from the last time they were in complete control? So his claim just doesn’t make all that much sense. And you’d think for someone who was once a "senior lecturer" on the Constitution at the University of Chicago, he’d have some sort of an idea about how best our system of government works. But then Barry his own rather unique notion of how our government actually supposed to work.
WE REPUBICANS ‘MUST’ PROVE WE’RE BETTER THAN THE DEMOCRATS…
Words can never even begin to describe how deeply touched I am that there now appears to be so many Democrats who seem to be so concerned about what political fortunes may, or may not, lie in store for the Republican Party. I simply had no idea that they cared so much. First we heard from Chuckie Schumer who, you must admit, did his best to warn us. He said that if we know what’s good for us we’ll expedite the granting of amnesty to those 11 Million immigrants in this country illegally so that they can then run right out and register as Democrats. And if we don’t do as he says, Chuckie said, we risk becoming the minority party for decades. So politics should trump everything?
And then, who else should come crawling out of the manure pile to offer some friendly advice but none other than that senile old fart Charlie Rangel, who just yesterday suggested it is political folly for Republicans to launch a special investigation into the terror attacks in Benghazi in an election year. So I guess, if I’m understanding Charlie correctly, we should just turn our backs on those men that Barry left to be slaughtered at the hands of his Muslim brothers. Old Charlie said, "I think it's tragic that the Republican Party would destroy itself in 2016 by not having one issue that the American people believe should be a priority." His deep concern brings a tear to my one good eye.
Rangel said, "I don't think people, Americans, Democratic or Republicans, are going to lose sleep over Benghazi. And I really think that they're concerned about the economy and jobs and immigration. What I'm talking about is, is that if the Democrats are the only ones standing on their feet in 2016, America has lost." If that is in fact true, and most Americans do feel that way, then this country truly has lost its soul. Now I have no doubt that’s how most, if not all, Democrats feel, but I have to think that most patriotic Americans are tired of all the lies and are interested in finding out exactly why it was that four of their fellow Americans were left to die that night.
Rangel made the idiotic claim that he simply doesn't want to see Republicans "destroy themselves," because "I don't want to be an American with just one party." Ok, so just who is it that this pathetic old boob thinks he’s kidding? And then in taking things a step further, in referencing the select committee to be set up to find the truth about the Benghazi attack, this sorry sack of shit also advised Democrats against "participating in a farce." Actually, and old Charlie should know this, farce is what would far more accurately describe everything that has been done by Barry & Co. in their continuing effort to hide the truth. We know little more today than we did on that fateful night.
Rangel noted that Rep. Darrell Issa's Oversight Committee "has had all of these hours and days and weeks and months investigating this, that now you`re saying you have no confidence in him, so you have to bring in a new member to head up a new committee to find the answers?" Actually that’s not quite an accurate assessment of things. Because what we’re saying here is that Charlie’s buddy, Barry, along with his corrupt little team of malcontents over there at the White House, has yet to provide much in the way of what has been asked for. They continue to be far more interested in protecting themselves than they are in telling the American people the truth. Which is actually pretty typical for this corrupt administration.
So it was then that the House voted 232-186 on Thursday to establish a special committee to investigate the various failures associated with the Benghazi attack. The Associated Press noted: "Seven Democrats, many facing tough re-election campaigns, broke ranks and joined Republicans in supporting the probe." But it was the botox queen, Nancy Pelosi, who tweeted on Thursday that Republicans have "failed to ensure a fair Benghazi committee by refusing to give Ds (Democrats) an equal voice. America deserves better than another partisan review." The select committee will have two more Republicans than Democrats, which is simply standard practice.
So let’s just say, for the sake of argument, that Chuckie and Charlie are correct in what they say. That by choosing to pursue this matter we risk future elections. The bottom line here is that four Americans were left to die. And as of yet no one has been held to account. One of the major players in the entire fiasco, Hitlery Clinton, says that she is quite content with what has occurred since that night and has also made it quite clear that there is virtually no difference whether those men died because of some bogus video, or because what occurred that night was a bona fide terrorist attack. And even after having made such a declaration she somehow thinks she’s still worthy of being president?
So as a party, what should our priorities be? If we do nothing but turn our backs on those four men and their families, then by default we become no better than the Democrats. We are the ones who are supposed to love this country, we are the ones who support those who volunteer to fight for it. We owe them to find out what happened that night, it’s the only way we have to repay them, in any meaningful way, for their ultimate sacrifice. It’s bad enough that they were left to die, but it would be even worse if we were to simply turn our backs when we could have found out why. Men like Chuckie and Charlie, as well as Barry "Almighty", are truly disgusting. And I pray that they all come to rot in Hell for all of eternity.

THE CONTINUING SAGA OF THE KEYSTONE XL PIPELINE…
When it comes to the Keystone XL pipeline, it seems like Barry "Almighty", along with his fellow ‘global warming’ supporting Democrats, has a rather idiotic way of looking at things. And it was Canadian Ambassador to the U.S. Gary Doer who attempted to point out just how idiotic in a recent appearance on MSNBC's "Morning Joe". Mr. Doer said, "Going from 84 to 85 pipelines between our two countries -- we didn't think it would be that complicated." He went on to say, "To have people say no to the pipeline is actually to say yes to higher greenhouse gas emissions." But wait a minute, I thought Barry was against that! I’m so confused!
Doer made note of the fact that Canadian crude oil that is not shipped by pipeline is shipped instead by rail or truck. He asked, "And what are the consequences of that?" And then he chose to answer his own question saying, "Higher emissions, higher GHG, higher risk for people, again according to the State Department; and again, higher costs." He then proceeded to make the point that the oil is coming with or without the Keystone XL. He said, "And when you look out your window and see more tanker trucks, you see more tanker cars on railways, you should know it's a consequence, partially, of not approving a pipeline."
And despite Barry’s best efforts to convince Canada to simply send all of their oil China’s way, Mr. Doer said that Canada prefers to "work in our neighborhood to have energy independence with Canada, United States, Mexico." He went on to say, "So somebody has got to stand up and say the oil is coming down, and it's either going to come down on a pipeline or it's going to come down on rail and it's going to come down on trucks. Somebody's just got to stand up and say that, because it's higher emissions the way it's coming down as we speak today." So it sounds like Mr. Does might be as fed up with Barry as the rest of us are.
As most people know, if it were allowed to be built, the Keystone XL pipeline would cross from Canada into Montana, South Dakota and Nebraska, where it would then connect with existing pipelines to reach refineries on the Texas Gulf Coast. It was just last month that Barry & Co. decided to indefinitely delay any decision on building the pipeline, which liberal donors and environmentalists seem to adamantly oppose. But the opposition really makes no sense if the opposition is based on what we’re told it is. But suppose it’s not. Maybe those who oppose the pipeline are making too much off of all those trucks now bringing the oil.
The fact of the matter is that the trucks and trains currently carrying the oil from Canada to the U.S. Gulf Coast pose a far greater environmental risk than does the Keystone XL pipeline. And regardless of what Democrats claim, there is a report by the U.S. State Department that actually backs that up that fact. The report states that transporting the oil above ground causes "higher emissions," "higher risks for people," and "higher costs." Mr. Doer suggested opponents of the pipeline originally believed "if you do not approve the pipeline, the oil will stay in the ground." He said that idea had now "fallen like a house of cards."
Barry’s stubborn refusal to give the ok for the pipeline makes absolutely no sense. Because it’s as Mr. Doer said, "The oil is coming from Canada. The oil is coming from North Dakota and Montana. It's just the way it's getting to the Gulf Coast." So you have to ask yourself, what is it that’s really driving Barry’s opposition to this project? Is it just that he’s just so opposed to fossil fuels? But again, it’s not like he’s stopping the oil from coming here, all he’s succeeding to doing is to force it to be brought here by way of the most inefficient, and most expensive, method possible. So once again, we have a liberal Democrat involved and once again we have stupidity in action!
MORE DEMOCRAT HYPOCRISY…
Once again the Democrats want us to play by different rules than we all know they would most definitely be playing by if things were different. Because imagine for a second if the Benghazi attack had taken place on the watch of George W. Bush and with a Democrat controlled the House. How soon after the event do you suppose there would have been hearings called to determine blame? Also, how soon after would the fundraising letters have been flying out?
But now, oddly enough we have the very same Democrat douchebag who saw absolutely nothing wrong with the IRS going after conservative groups, and is even rumored to have even played a very active role in the scandal, who also sees nothing wrong with the fact that our current president chose to simply leave four Americans to get butchered in Benghazi. And of course the douchebag to whom I refer is none other than Democrat E-Lie-Jah Cummings.
And also it’s this very same moron who’s now making demands that House Speaker John Boehner should shut down, and "right now", any use of the Benghazi scandal for fundraising purposes. And yet, I’m quite sure that if the shoe were to be on the other foot, this very same hypocrite would have no problem at all with the Democrats using the scandal to raise as much money as could be raised. What’s good for them isn’t good for anyone else. They’re special.
Rep. Trey Gowdy, the South Carolina Republican chairing the select committee into the Benghazi attack, on Wednesday told Fox News he would encourage lawmakers and groups to refrain from using the issue for fundraising purposes. Using himself as an example, Gowdy said he had "never sought to raise a single penny on the backs of four murdered Americans." And actually I agree with him, we shouldn’t. Frankly, what I get so sick of is all the blatant Democrat hypocrisy.
JUST SOME FOOD FOR THOUGHT…
What has happened to that which was once so proudly referred to as, "the American spirit?" Are we able to put our finger on the cause of its apparent demise? Has it been bred out of us, has it been brainwashed out of us or, has it become diluted to the point where it now no longer exists? How is it that so many of us have become so willing to allow our government, a bunch of faceless and nameless bureaucrats hundreds or even thousands of miles ways from us, to dictate how it is that we spend our lives?
There is just something fundamentally un-American in our allowing that to happen. And yet most of those I’m around every single day just continue on as if everything is just as it should be. BUT IT’S NOT! Have we all become so focused on our own lives that we simply no longer have the time to pay any amount of attention to what is going on beyond the confines of our daily existence? We need to make time! We must make a conscious effort to force ourselves to become more vigilant. We simply cannot afford not to!
I guess I can understand why the blacks in this country don’t seem to mind what’s taking place in our country. I suppose after years of some pretty intense brainwashing they now see it as their chance to gain some level of revenge on those whom they have been told are the ones to blame for they’re being ‘forced’ to live poverty. Oddly enough, though, if blacks in this country were truly interested in discovering those responsible for their plight, they would really need look no further than the nearest mirror. But I digress.
There has been much talk about this fall’s election. About how the Republican Party stands to makes its biggest gains in over 20 years. Ok, suppose that does in fact happen, how much of a ‘real’ difference in things is that likely to make? I mean in the big scheme of things? We now have in this country a near majority of those who seem to possess the mentality, regardless how they came by it, that America must somehow be made better, more fair. Because the rich are to be blamed for the plight of the poor.
But what is overlooked, oft-times, is the fact that it’s in no other country on the planet that one, still even today, has been blessed with the opportunities that exist here in this country. If one is only willing to work, and to make good choices, the rewards can be nearly limitless. And yet, there seems to be a near prevailing opinion that the rights of the individual come secondary to the dictates of the government. That the government is simply better equipped to make for us the tough decisions that we are all forced to make every day.
If there is to be any hope of us being able to save our country, it’s going to take all of us, every single one of us, working together and all doing what we know in our heart is the right thing to do. But, frankly, I’m just not sure that enough of us are up to the task. Especially when we have politicians who seem quite determined, and who have achieved much success, in their effort to keep us all fighting with one another, instead of against them. Only time will tell I suppose, but it’s very obvious that we’re running out of time.

OBAMACARE…THE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING…
Well, with the recent release of yet another new report pointing out the perils of Obamacare comes word of yet another bonus created by the law. A bonus in the form of another new tax that will end up costing the United States hundreds of thousands of jobs over the next decade. Which I suppose doesn’t come as a big surprise to anyone, since the main objective of our present administration has been to work toward the wiping out of as many fulltime jobs as possible in the continuing effort to force as many people as they can into having to depend on the government.
This new report was published by the National Federation of Independent Business Research Foundation, which is a nonprofit association of business owners. And it was discovered found that something called the Health Insurance Tax (HIT) in the Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare, will cause a rise in the cost of employer-sponsored insurance to such an extent that the private sector will be forced to cut employment between 152,000 and 286,000 jobs by 2023. Now the key part of that statement is that little part about the ‘private sector’ being forced to cut jobs.
According to this report 57 percent of these job losses will come directly from small businesses, or firms with under 500 employees, which of course, as we all recognize, are traditionally the primary engines of innovation and job creation. It’s these small businesses that keep the economy moving forward and expanding. The result will also amount to a reduction of U.S. real output, or sales, of between $20 Billion and $33 Billion over that period. How does such a thing come to be thought of as being a good idea by anybody, especially those who claim to be all about job creation?
Amanda Austin, NFIB director of federal public policy, released a statement that said in part, "The HIT represents a new tax on small business that raises insurance costs for an already struggling Main Street and is contrary to the goals of healthcare reform." It went on to say, "Singling out job creators for tax increases makes no sense for our economy, is short-sighted, and wrong for our nation's growth. NFIB will continue to highlight the very real and negative effects the HIT will have on small businesses and everyday Americans as we work to pass bipartisan legislation to repeal the HIT."
The conclusions were based on a dynamic, multi-region forecasting model built to analyze the impact of policy "shocks" on the economy. The model predicted that some states will be disproportionally affected by the projected job losses. California is expected to be hit the hardest with a projected loss of 23,000 jobs by 2023 and a loss of $4 billion in sales for small businesses. Texas could lose 14,500 jobs over the same period due to the tax and $2.5 billion in small business sales, while Florida will likely suffer a loss of 9,700 jobs and $1.2 billion in small business sales.
But it will be just the opposite for the federal government which expects to collect a windfall of $8 Billion from the tax in 2014, rising to $14.3 Billion by 2018. While the tax was aimed at hitting insurers' profits, the more likely outcome is for the cost of the tax to be passed along to those purchasing the plans, most of which are employers. Meanwhile, the American Action Forum, a Washington-based free-market think tank, estimates that the Health Insurance Tax will increase consumer premiums by an average of $101 in 2014, and by an average of $143 in 2015 and 2016.
The bottom line here is when we all troop off to the polls this fall we must have as one of our primary objectives the creating of the best opportunity possible for the complete repeal of this highly destructive, ill-conceived legislative nightmare that was shoved through Congress using every procedural trick in the book. This attempt at ‘reform’ was never intended to do anything other than to garner for the federal government the complete control of how the American people are able to obtain healthcare for themselves. It was something that had been a wet dream of the Democrat Party going all the way back to FDR. AND IT SUCKS!!!
YES, IT’S A FACT…DEMOCRATS DO HATE AMERICA…
I think, especially after looking at what they have done to this country over the years, and what they still wish to do it, that we can all very safely say that Democrats, both inside and outside of Washington, hate this country. Those inside Washington because they demonstrate their hatred by coming up with the highly destructive policies, and those outside of Washington, because they possess some sick fetish that drives them to be accomplices of those Democrats on the inside.
Now I suppose there will be some Democrats who may take offense at that assessment, but, personally, I couldn’t care less. Because to me for someone to desire that their country be weakened in any way, be it economically, fiscally, socially or internationally, it can mean one thing and one thing only. That they see their country as being undeserving of its rightful place in this world and see it in need of being taken down a peg or two. Thus, they set about trying to do just that.
This country, this one country in its relatively short history, has been responsible for more good having been done in this world than any other country before or since. And yet, we’re constantly hearing from those who so proudly call themselves Democrats that to them it represents only evil. Now what sort of a twisted mind must one have to arrive at such a conclusion. Oh they try to justify it in their own demented way, but they in the effort to do so they make little sense.
Being a Democrat seems to be very similar to being inflicted with some sort of mental disorder. One that might resemble a phobia, of sorts. A phobia that prevents one from actually loving one’s country, and forces one to tell all manner of lies about it, or to make accusations against those who fight to defend it, claiming that atrocities, of one form or another, were committed. Or worse, would cause one to refuse to send aid to four brave Americans, and leave them to be slaughtered.
I can honestly say that I have never met a Democrat who possessed any sense of patriotism. I just don’t think that it’s possible for one to be a Democrat and a patriot at the same time. Because patriotism is a concept that is just so completely foreign to them. As well, Democrats are really a rather despicable bunch, and really serve no useful purpose. I only wish we had more people who were willing to stand up to them, to take them on. We have some, but not near enough.
Because like most bullies, all Democrats really need is to have their nose properly bloodied just once. And even then you can never trust them. And you may even find it necessary to have to bloody them again, especially if they simply cannot be convinced to behave in a manner that is best for the country and not for them. Politicians, and more so Democrats, of late, in general need to be reminded, that it is not they who are in charge here. And it’s the country that MUST come first!
‘DINGY HARRY’ REID…TRAITOR, HYPOCRITE, CROOK…
Call me crazy, but it appears to me that old ‘Dingy Harry’ Reid must have a rather peculiar looking ‘Things to Do’ list. I mean I think it’s fairly obvious that this whole socialist game implemented thus far by the Democrats has been pretty much of a bust, that is, of course, if it was actually the intent to actually make our country stronger and more energy efficient.
You would think that even a blind man would plainly be able to see that our country is going down the crapper and primarily because of the policies implemented by Barry and championed by ‘Dingy’ and the Democrats. Which leads one to the only possible conclusion. That the destruction we are witnessing in this country is being done very much on purpose.
Because it seems to me that if the primary party presently in power was genuinely concerned, it would be talking about those measures that could be taken which would actually work to strengthen our economy, lower our energy costs, encourage job growth and possibly even replace Obamacare. But such things seem to be strangely missing from ANY discussion.
Instead it would appear that old ‘Dingy Harry’ has found something far more urgently in need of discussion. Because it was on Tuesday that our less than stellar leader of the Senate saw fit to involve himself in an online chat with none other than NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell? And the purpose of ‘Dingy’s’ choosing to insert himself into the conversation?
Well apparently the reason behind ‘Dingy’s’ involvement in this online banter was to push, or at least attempt to push, football's top executive to "act against racism" and make the Washington Redskins' franchise pick a new team name. Frankly, this is nothing more than yet another instance where old ‘Dingy’ comes across as a dog in search if a fire hydrant.
But, be that as it may, ‘Dingy’ showed up during a live Twitter question-and-answer session with Goodell, who, I guess, was fielding questions under the hashtag #AskCommish. So it was then that ‘Dingy’ tweeted, "Commissioner Goodell, "do you believe you have the authority to act against racism in the NFL like Mr. Silver did in the NBA?"
Now of course, what ‘Dingy’ was referencing was the very recent incident where NBA Commissioner Adam Silver banned Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling from the NBA for life for racially charged remarks caught on tape. Which while they were disgusting, I doubt the comments were any worse than those frequently heard in any NBA locker room.
Most folks are probably aware of the fact that old ‘Dingy’ has been campaigning publicly for the football team in the nation's capital to abandon what some have called a racial slur against American Indians. Personally I just think we have far more important things to talk about other than the fact a few might get their feelings hurt because of a football team’s name.
And it was in a floor speech last month, that ‘Dingy’ really outdid himself on a day when I guess there must have been nothing else in need of being discussed. It was then that ‘Dingy’ criticized the NFL for allegedly "doing nothing while an entire population of Americans has been denigrated," and urged team owner Daniel Snyder to "do what is morally right."
So I’m guessing here that old ‘Dingy’ must somehow view this bizarre line of attack as being a big vote getter for the Democrats this November? I mean, after all, from everything I’ve read the Democrats need to come up with something if they hope to have any chance of making sure that old ‘Dingy’ keeps his job. But oddly enough, I just don’t see this ploy as a big winner.

DO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE 'REALLY' WANT HITLERY CLINTON???
It seems that no matter where I turn these days, I’m told that a majority of my fellow Americans would be just pleased as punch if it were to turn out that Hitlery Clinton would be the one to succeed Barry "Almighty". Personally, I just can’t quite bring myself to join in with that crowd, especially since it’s in my most humble opinion that America would simply never be able to survive having to go through such an ordeal as another Clinton presidency. It would be the final nail in the coffin.
So imagine my surprise, especially after hearing how Hitlery would be an apparent shoe in, if she did in fact choose to run, that according to a new Pew poll out just yesterday that points out that almost two-thirds of Americans want the next president to offer a change from the policies of Barry "Almighty." So which is it? Do Americans want more of the same, or do they truly want something different? To tell you the truth I don’t think they know what the Hell they want anymore.
Also, we’re told that the results of this new poll reveal Barry to be in what’s termed as being a second-term slump, one nearly as deep as the one experienced by former President George W. Bush. And the results are said, or so we’re being told, to likely be bad news for Hitlery or any other potential Democratic contender come 2016. The American electorate is an entity about which few assumptions can be reliably made. So I’m not that certain these numbers can be trusted to mean all that much.
So anyway, this April 23-27 survey questioned 1,501 adults nationwide and it found that 65 percent of those responding wanted the next president to have different programs or policies from those of Barry "Almighty". And it also found that there were 30 percent who wanted programs and policies similar to Barry’s. Now I seriously doubt that it would be all that difficult to determine exactly what the racial makeup of that 30 percent might be. It certainly doesn’t take any sort of a genius.
Meanwhile, it was 70 percent of those who were asked a similar question back in April 2006 that said they wanted different programs or policies from those of the Bush administration in the next president, with only 23 percent preferring similar ones. While I may have wanted something a little different than, what I was hoping for something a bit more conservative in nature, not the version full blown socialism that we got from Barry as he went on his mission to "fundamentally transform" America.
We’re told it was voter desire for change that was one of the main reasons that Barry won the White House in the 2008 election over John ‘The Maverick’ McCain of Arizona. Of course the fact that McCain was a pretty shitty candidate certainly didn’t hurt Barry’s chances for victory either. We hadn’t had a candidate that bad since Bob Dole. So I’m not really sure which of these reasons proved to be the bigger help for Barry. But we certainly could have put up a better candidate than the one we did.
But apparently old Hitlery must not have gotten the memo regarding the results of this very recent poll. Because while she has yet to confirm or deny that she even intends on running to be Barry’s successor, she is certainly has been sounding a lot like a candidate, of late. In fact, it was just today that she made it very clear that she not only supports Obamacare, but she also favors tighter gun control, and said the country faces "social collapse" if inequity continues in America.
Hitlery spoke in National Harbor, Maryland, at the National Council for Behavioral Health, an organization that focuses on mental health. It was during the speech that she gave to the group that she said, "We have to rein in what has become [an] almost article of faith, that anybody can own a gun anywhere, anytime. And I don’t believe that." She needs to get over herself, because it’s not about what she believes, it’s about the Constitution!
She droned on, "At the rate we’re going, we’re going to have so many people with guns everywhere, fully licensed, fully validated, in settings where [one] could be in a movie theater, and they don’t like someone chewing gum loudly or talking on their cellphone and decide they have the perfect right to defend themselves against the gum chewer or cellphone user by shooting. That’s what happens in the countries I’ve visited where there’s no rule of law."
And then in what was perhaps an attempt to silence her critics on the left who may think that she is a bit too aligned with big business, Hitlery also took a more populist tone with the crowd of mostly healthcare professionals. "We need to be honest about what’s happening in our country," she said. "We need [to] take a clear-eyed view about some of the causes of this social collapse." Of course her perception of what the causes might be differ greatly from those of us on the right.
Because, like Barry, this fellow Alinskyite of his said, "The debate about economic inequality is often carried out in political terms or economic terms, but it’s social, it’s a psychological challenge. We need to start demonstrating our care for one another, particularly those that are struggling the hardest." So once again we hearing about how it takes a village. Why must that always be the only solution? Socialism
And of course Hitlery defended Obamacare. She said, "There have been many complaints and concerns about the Affordable Care Act, but I’ve been struck by the polling I’ve been reading." She added, "Because it tells the same story: A small majority of Americans don’t think they like the Affordable Care Act, but a large majority of Americans don’t want to do away with the protections that are in the Affordable Care Act."
Staying on the topic of Obamacare, she continued by saying, "A small majority wants to repeal it, but that is slowly receding as a rising majority says, 'No, fix it.' This is the tradition of good, old-fashioned American pragmatism." I’m just not thinking that it’s so small of a majority that wants it repealed. And the number of those who want it repealed are most certainly not decreasing in number. So Hitlery is of course talking out her ass.
So to me it sounds like the old battle-axe is wanting to pretty much pick right up where the ‘community agitator’ plans on leaving off. I can’t believe that this is what the American people will come to want. How is it that a majority in this country will be able to look back at, what will then be at least, the last seven years and say, "YES, give me four more years of that!" As I have said before, on a number of occasions, America simply will not survive Hitlery as president.
MORE ‘CLIMATE CHANGE’ PROPAGANDA…
Another bit of leftist propaganda seems to have now emerged from Barry & Co. regarding the perils which we will all come to face from what is that nonexistent threat of "global warming/climate change". According to the boys over at the White House, who just today as a matter of fact, released what they call an updated report on the topic, climate change now requires what they call urgent action if we wish to counter impacts that touch every corner of the country. They claim that the threat is very real and poses a danger from oyster growers in Washington State to maple syrup producers in Vermont. Sounding more like ‘Chicken Little’ than ever before that say, "Climate change, once considered an issue for a distant future, has moved firmly into the present." Not so!
Now of course there were more than a few on the environmentalist wacko fringe, groups found predominantly on the left, who of course hailed the National Climate Assessment as a possible "game changer" for its effort to address climate change, in part because it makes the impact less abstract to many Americans. Lyndsay Moseley, director of something called the American Lung Association's Healthy Air campaign said, "It will help put their own experiences in context, and we think that is important in generating interest and action on the issue." What must it be like to be simple-minded enough to allow yourself to be convinced of such nonsense and by the same charlatans who were warning us in the 70’s to start preparing for a coming ice age? Just sayin’!
Supposedly, this report, which has been described by its supporters as being rather extensive, detailed how consequences of climate change are hitting on several fronts, including health, infrastructure, water supply, agriculture and especially in more frequent severe weather such as floods and droughts. And in what I can only guess was an attempt to make it sound all the more convincing to the little people, the supposed impacts are also broken down by region - from storm surges in the Northeast to wildfires and water shortages in the southwestern United States. A great amount of effort must have been expended in trying to make sure that somehow every section of the country could be made to at least appear to face some form of weather-induced cataclysm.
John Podesta, devoted leftist and therefore one of the primary advisers to Barry "Almighty", spread the bullshit on pretty heavy when he said on Monday that the report includes "a huge amount of practical, usable knowledge that state and local decision-makers can take advantage of as they plan on or for the impacts of climate change and work to make their communities more resilient." Podesta said the administration hopes that conveying the warnings contained in the report can help the administration implement the president's Climate Action Plan, which was unveiled in June 2013 and focuses on executive actions Barry can use to rein in polluters. Let’s be honest, there is very little in this report that would be of any real use to state or local decision-makers.
And it was Vicki Arroyo, some executive director of the Georgetown Climate Center of Georgetown University who made the point that the focus on solutions, not just warnings, is key. She said, "You really can't just provide a report that paints this dark picture of all these impacts. You have to couple it with a message of what our government can do about it, what you can do about it and what our communities can do." Let’s face it, if there really was an issue with our climate, there is very little, if anything, that our government could do about. After all, they can’t even put a website together, remember? Or have we all forgotten that already? Can we really trust that such a government could do anything about something as complex as our climate?
One of the biggest lies put forward in this cockamamie report is the one that makes the claim that the past decade was the country's warmest on record, and that some extreme weather events have increased in recent years. But the truth is that there has not been any sort of an increase in temperature for the last 15 years. And we’re also now at a 60 year low for tornado activity as well as a low for hurricane activity in the Atlantic. So their claims are nothing but bogus scare tactics. But they don’t stop with claims of severe weather, they also sound the alarm regarding other supposed impacts of climate change, such as an increase in the risk of disease transmission, decrease air quality and can increase mental health problems, among the many other effects.
And then of course, as is usually the case, for good measure they throw in the all the sophomoric nonsense about ongoing sea-level rise, which, as the claim goes, increases the risk of erosion and storm surge damage and raises the stakes for the nearly 5 million Americans who live within four feet of the local high-tide level. Look, if we are actually going to be stupid enough to fall for any of this idiotic drivel, then we will deserve whatever it is that we get in return for doing so. Over the course of the last 5 years the government has been allowed to worm ever farther into the private lives of the American people. Barry’s primary objective here is to engineer the creation of a mechanism that permits the government to very strictly control to what degree we are able to take advantage of our own energy resources.
OBAMACARE REMAINS LESS POPULAR THAN EVER…
As proud as the Democrats appear to be of their single-handed accomplishment, and boasting that, yes, they will most definitely be able to very proudly run on it come this November, I’m sure who it is that they are working so hard to convince. Because despite all of their spin they don’t seem to be having much luck in convincing all that many people that this creation of theirs is the boon that they all said it would be. At least if a new poll that rates public opposition to Obamacare now at an all-time high can be trusted.
Because it’s according to the numbers taken from a recent USA Today/Pew survey that 55 percent of the American people still say that they disapprove of this boondoggle. And that is the highest total since this debacle referred to as Obamacare was shoved through Congress and onto Barry who signed it into law back in 2010. Also according to this poll we now seem to have 41 percent who can bring themselves to say that they actually support it. Those must be the Obama-phone crowd.
And we also learned from this poll that 49 percent of those surveyed seem to be of the opinion that the major provisions of Obamacare are most likely "here to stay," while 43 percent think they will be erased from the law. Also it was 67 percent of those people who support the law think its major provisions are "here to stay." Personally, I’d like to see the whole thing scrapped, because I think most of us can agree that creating Obamacare had absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with attempting to control the cost of healthcare.
With Barry & Co. making the claim that more than 8 million Americans signed up for healthcare through the law from October to the middle of April, a Gallup-Healthways report showed that the ‘estimated’ percentage of Americans without healthcare, 13.4 percent, is supposedly the lowest since that statistic first began being tracked back in 2008. But with public support for Obamacare pretty much teetering on the edge there remains little doubt that healthcare will be a key issue in the midterm elections.
Now if we can believe Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, which I don’t for a second, he said, "Obviously, Republicans don't like Obamacare, which is not surprising since not a single Republican voted for it." He then went on to say, "But much more importantly, independent voters — the swing voters, those that go back and forth and decide every election — also don't like Obamacare." He added, "For them, it's going to be a big, if not the decisive, issue in how they cast their vote this fall." He’s probably right.
Now the way I see it, the Republicans, should they take control of the Senate and keep control of the House, will have a very short window of opportunity, two short years, to demonstrate that they are serious about making substantive changes not only to Obamacare, but to a whole host of issues. If they choose not to, deciding to simply coast while providing nothing but lip service, then their time in power will be very short lived, coming to end in both houses in 2016. This will be their time to either shit, or to get off the pot.
