Shouldn't The CIA Be Under Heavier Scrutiny?

SEE HERE  What were we doing funneling weapons to Syrian rebels anyway?  What strategic interest was served by this little shenanigans that likely got the ambassador and three other Americans killed and a whole bunch wounded.  The whole thing is "hush-hush" which probably means it was illegal or at least suspect.  Makes Watergate and Iran-Contra look like amateur-night compared with more significant misbehavior.

A Litaney Of Incompetence And Deceit

SEE HERE  There certainly doesn't seem to be much this administration is competent to do expect mess things up ... unless of course that is what they intended to do all along.  Meanwhile everyone keeps reacting to the shiny laser spot on the ground like a cat being toyed with or a sharp stick poked in the eye while they are getting ready to knife you in the back.  We truly live in interesting times, and it seems likely to become more interesting before the inevitable resolution.  Will enough people wake up to make that resolution helpful or will be go down in history as the people who threw freedom away for a shiny bauble like the Indians selling Manhattan for a bunch of trinkets.

Credibility Is When You Turn Out To Be Right When Everyone Said You Were Wrong

SEE HERE  Sorry liberals ... you were wrong again.  How many times do you have to be shown up before you question your worldview?  Serious question.  Is it even possible to get out of your delusion trap?

What Is Going On? We Need To Know

  The fact of the matter is that there are very strange things going on.  They all have a fairly obvious and fairly ominous interpretation.  Something major is being set up.

No Help Wanted ... Does That Mean They Screwed It Up On Purpose?

SEE HERE  Well some heavy hitters have offered to help but the government doesn't want help.  Interesting response given the total mess they've made of it.

Keeping Track Is Hard To Do ...

  What scandal?

Bob: "Did you hear about the Obama administration scandal?
Jim: "You mean the Mexican gun running?"
Bob: "No, the other one."
Jim: "You mean SEAL Team 6?"

   Jim: "I give up! ... Oh wait, I think I got it! You mean that 65 million
    low-information voters who don't pay taxes and get free stuff from taxpayers
    and stuck us again with the most pandering, corrupt administration in
    American history?
    Bob: "THAT'S THE ONE!"

    

Launch Failure Due To (You Guessed It) Government Failure

SEE HERE   Pretty much nothing government does is efficient and it is also almost always only marginally competent.  The ObamaCare launch is a case in point.  The contractor may or may not have been wholly competent, but their ability to adequately test the product was actively interfered with.  No surprise then that the product failed.  Software, something I'm rather an expert on, requires careful testing and this product didn't get that, not by a long shot.

Do You Want More Or Less Corruption?

SEE HERE  I think when the rhetoric ends and the light dim that's the real question.  Do you want people who are principled or people who are not leading you?  Do you want con-men who create phony industries and pretend they are doing good or people who actually do good?  Do you want people who arrange to benefit themselves from the death of old people who are strangers to them or do you want people who go out of their way to help people who have been unjustly treated?  If you want honesty in government then you have to elect honest people.  That's why I'm voting for Cuccinelli, Jackson, and Obenshain on November 5th.  We have to stand up for principle and stop electing the biggest liar and shyster.  Failing that we will deserve what we get.

Thomas Sowell Coming Back To "Throw The Rascals Out"

SEE HERE  What we need to do is get a Congress that 1) responds to the people, and 2) isn't a permanent ruling class.

Have The Brown Shirts Come For You Yet?

SEE HERE  I guess we don't live in a free country any more.  This is becoming more and more common, the police power used for intimidation.  We've seen two incidents like this in the past week.  How many more have gone unreported?  For that matter how many have even made the awareness of the national media?  Maybe now the media will begin to wake up.  This is tyranny.

Debt As Far As The Eye Can See

SEE HERE When does this house of cards come down and what will we do about it when it does?  You have to read this to get a perspective on the real long term debt picture.  Frankly it should scare the hell out of you.  We need to have our politicians tell us how they are going to handle this and stop letting them wave their hands and whistle past the grave yard.

Opening Minds To The Conflicts Of Belief In The Modern World

Unusual Terminations Of Flag Level Officers Is Troubling

SEE HERE  I don't recall a time when so many generals and admirals were terminated suddenly is what appears to be a pattern of removal of officers who stand by their oath of office.  Maybe it's just a coincidence but given this administration's overall actions it may be just a consolidation or an attempt at consolidating personal power over the military.  You better hope it doesn't work.

Trust Government? Really? Why?

SEE HERE  As long as the politicians don't take real responsibility for their actions you really can't trust anything they say or do.  Benefits, promises, commitments ... it's all noise that they make to get elected.  You better start demanding virtue and honor and not depend on the windbags that just promise "goodies."

If You Believe Anything The Obama-bots Don't Like You'll Be Branded A Terrorist

SEE HERE  This is how it works.  Demonize, divide and create suppression of freedom until all shall be gathered beneath your feet and you shall be the despot of what was once a great nation.  Those that believe anything that you don't like shall be listed as dangerous and the administration will begin to collect their names and put them on lists and prepare for the day of their captivity.  Here are seventy-two instances.  There will be many more.  Only blind submission shall be acceptable.

Bill Whittle Sums It Up — Democrats Are Racist

  Bill Whittle gives out a little dose of reality.  Funny how DemonRATS are in such denial of their own history.

Exactly Why Did We Change? Oh Yeah ... Liberals!

SEE HERE  Walter Williams gives an example of why "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" is a good aphorism.  The crazies have been attacking the instrument instead of the culprit and they've been doing it for many decades.  It isn't altogether clear why.  Some would say they are well intentioned, but others would say they are just crazy.  When you do something over and over against expecting a different result you've behaving in a clinically insane way.  Liberals have been doing that over and over again.  There seem to be two possibilities: 1) they are crazy, or 2) they're up to something for which the crazy thing they are doing is a precursor.  I'm leaning towards #1 but I can't rule out #2 since to impose tyranny you first have to disarm the citizen and these guys in addition to being crazy are clearly also totalitarians.

Education? Not So You'd Notice

  This is a tragedy and doesn't promise much for the future.

Five Fallacies You Need To Reflect On

SEE HERE  We have a political system that was crafted by astute, knowledgeable, extremely well educated statesmen and designed with the disasters of the past in mind.  The Founders knew what they were doing but the political midgets of the intervening years have been shaving away at the roots and the whole tree will come down if we don't get our act together.  The end is likely closer than you think if we keep increasing spending and printing money.  We'll all be on the soup line before long and the soup will be very thin indeed.

Ken Cuccinelli Setting The Record Straight

  The left only knows how to lie about people and try to demonize them.  It's why I've started calling them DemonRATS instead of Democrats.  Ken Cuccinelli is a standup honest forthright guy and he's being slimed and lied about by the usual suspects.  Terry McAuliffe learned the lying technique from his mentor Bill Clinton who was characterized: "Bill Clinton is an unusually good liar”- Bob Kerry, Democrat.  DemonRATS are all pretty accomplished liars because they get so much practice.

Focus On The Founders

Stand with the Founders and defend the nation against the insidious growth of collectivism.  It has never worked and it won't work this time.  What it has always caused is poverty, misery, and pain not to mention millions of dead.

The Best Governor Money Can Buy! The Smearing Of Cuccinelli

SEE HERE  Money talks and big money talks loudly.  But it doesn't necessarily talk honestly.  The fact of the matter is that Virginia is an important state for the Democrats to win and they have pulled out all the stops, truth be damned, to elect Terry McAuliffe.  Never mind that it is all a pack of exaggerations and lies.  Since when did lying bother a liberal.  Bill Clinton was once described by one of his own party's elected officials as "The best liar I've ever seen."  Well Terry McAuliffe has had an effective mentor then having been a fund raiser for the Clintons he's seen how lying really works well.  It worked for Hitler, Stalin, Mao, and Barack Obama is the poster boy for a Democrat who can't open his mouth without telling a lie.  So why should anyone be surprised?  The disturbing thing is that with such blatant lying going on noone seems to care about whether it is true or not.  Now that is really disturbing.  Does truth not matter any more?  Really?  Truth is another name for reality and those that live in a world of lie are deluded.  It can't end well.

Hunker Down And Fight

SEE HERE  Targets are everywhere ... We're in a target rich environment.  Face it, the enemy has the advantage.  They have been fighting covertly so long but with strategic wisdom that they've taken the media, the propaganda arm of the public schools, the Constitution has been undermined and they've instilled a victim mentality in the majority of the citizenry.  Fighting back is no longer an option but an imperative. 

Winning Elections Versus Lining The Pockets Of Political Consultants

SEE HERE  This should be a no-brainer but unfortunately the fact of the matter is that politicians have no-brains.  They make the Scarecrow from the Wizard of Oz look like an Einstein.  Ann Coulter points out the obvious to the mentally challenged but it's unlikely to be accepted or understood.  They may have to take a serious hit from the Tea Party before they get it through their straw heads that they work for the people not the political consultants.

Never Give Up ... Never ... Never ... Never Give Up

SEE HERE  Good advice from Winston Churchill in the middle of the most devastating war in history.  We are today engaged in another war, a war for the minds and hearts of the young and to stave off the victory, long delayed, of the socialist, communist, collectivist, so-called liberal leftists styled progressives which seek to destroy the republic the Founders built.  They cloak their endeavor with all kinds of euphonious labels to conceal the real intent.  Meanwhile the children are dumbed down, propagandized, and we lose our freedoms on the incremental decay plan one small loss at a time blamed on whatever seems the most reasonable suspect to attack: big Corporations, greedy Wall Street Bankers, racists, the Tea Party, and so on ... George Bush did it!  When the smiling faces behind the insidious effort is the left, all along, pervasive, creeping forward enlisting the gullible and always smiling as they insert the knife ever deeper twisting it and smiling as the republic fails.

Of Course The President Is Involved ... Did You Ever Doubt It?

  What motive does a bureaucrat have to target the Tea Party groups?  Of course the president was involved ... This is so obvious that only the blind, in his pocket news media, claims not to get it.

Bill O'Reilly Finally 'Gets It' And Calls Out The Communists

  Where is McCarthy when you need him?  I was raised during the time when Senator McCarthy was calling out the Communists that had infiltrated the United States government.  He was mercilessly attacked and finally defeated by the leftists who always claimed he was making it all up.  With the end of the Soviet Union their intelligence records became available and we learned that McCarthy was right all along.  When they were outed the Communists didn't go away.  Instead they simply went into deeper cover while continuing their dismantling of America using many infiltration strategies: anti-war protest, environmental movements, undermining traditional education goals, moral decay ... they are lining up to collect the payoff, collectivist tyranny imposed on America.

No Emmy For You ... Staging Things Requires Talent

SEE HERE  This piece is interesting because it points out how far this administration goes to manipulate perceptions.  Staged fainting so the president can feign compassion.  How touching?

The Worst Government Money Can Buy?

SEE HERE  Well the government hasn't been working the way it was supposed to and it hasn't for a long time.  The politicians we elect go to Washington and get rich.  They promise good governance and deliver instead a long history of extortion and various schemes to enrich their buddies while impoverishing the rest of us.  The power grab that the central government represents is exactly what the Founders feared.  It's taken a long time which is a testimony to the foundation of the Founders but determined termites can take down even the best designed structure and our termites which variously call themselves liberals, progressives, and moderates have been working for a long time.

Over the Top! Government Intruding In Places It Has No Business

SEE HERE   Tyranny?  When government tells you you can't pack a bag lunch for your own child they have gone way way over the top.  It's clearly tyranny and none of their damn business.  Perhaps so far it's just an example of overreach that forces your children to subsidize the school food program but try to find it in the Constitution and ask yourself if they can do this what can't they do?

Finding A Way Forward ... Renewing The American Vision

SEE HERE  Our political leaders are a big disappointment.  They have been deconstructing the nation for a century and the process appears to be reading a tipping point.  We need to stand up and resist and push back.  The Republican party would be the obvious vehicle to renew the republic, but they've shown no leadership and no vigor for the job.  Instead they show wavering timidity posturing as bipartisan but really being abject capitulaters.  We need forceful leadership.  We're not getting it and the result if things continue will be the end of America as we have known it.  Unite!  Stand up and resist!

How Long Can We Endure? Send Us Good Leaders

SEE HERE How long must we endure oh Lord?  That might be the beginning of the prayer that free Americans send up to God like incense from the altar of oppression.  We have endured six years of a disastrous presidency initiated by the good intentions of many Americans who wanted to not be seen as racists and so elected a man with no credentials and a background that was intensely hostile to the United State with a political philosophy grounded in communism and socialism, a man who had no respect for the life of the unborn or for the traditions and institutions of America.  We game him the benefit of the doubt and he disappointed us, becoming the most divisive president in our nation's history and dedicated to a "fundamental transformation of America" that would send us back to some form of nineteenth century collectivism crippling the economy and impoverishing all Americans.  We don't have a lot of time to fix this so please Lord send us leaders of virtue and foresight who will help to save our nation.

Thomas Sowell Outs Race Hustling

SEE HERE Thomas Sowell gets around. He's old enough to remember that things were not always worse in the past even for those who are discriminated against. I know personally some of these Asian immigrants who have knuckled down and made the American dream work for them. Instead of embracing victimhood as preached by the usual suspects, they just worked hard and focused on their personal success and made amazing progress.

One Chinese man I met in Minnesota talked with me in his restaurant about how he had come to own a nice Chinese restaurant. He had come over as a young married man and lived in what was almost a closet saving every cent he made until he saved enough to pay to bring his wife over. Then the two of them worked hard and created a small business which grew over time into an excellent Chinese restaurant.

That's fairly typical. Hard work and initiative over time translates into success. As Winston Churchill said:"Never give up. Never... Never... Never give up." We're not teaching kids that these days and it shows. They quit almost before they've begun.  PART II of RACE HUSTLING

Thuggish Government Using Fines As Extortion

Racists? Who Are They? Take A Look!

SEE HERE  Didn't know this was in the law did you?  Is this even Constitutional?  Racism is doing things that are based on the myth that race makes a difference.  The differences might be imagining that one race is more industrious than another, or smarter, or more or less skilled in various ways.  Then segregation is separating people based on race to deliver services in a selection and racially dictated manner.  Well ObamaCare is racist!  Since only DemonRATS were involved in its production I suppose that seriously suggests that they are racist.  How could that be?  Actually they've been racists since the beginning.  They have just been doing a fairly good job of lying about it since about 1964 and pretending to be the source of the Civil Rights Bill.  Unfortunately too many people who don't bother checking history actually believe them.  Lying works!  The DemonRATS are the proof!

I know you don't like me using the term DemonRATS ... well tough.  When they start acting like something other than demon rats I'll start calling them something less, well, less demonic.  They have a long way to go to get to human.  They have lied too much, betrayed too many, and caused too much destruction for me to change my mind about them easily.

Thuggish Government Or What You Might Call Extortion Used As Punishment For Criticism

SEE HERE  How dare you criticize our Narcissist In Charge ... the NIC is Almighty and Eric Holder is his prophet or is that puppet?  The Department of Justice is being used as the enforcement group of a Chicago style protection racket.  There are a lot of banks that had problems with the Democrat inspired housing bubble ... why was J P Morgan singled out?  Aren't they too big to fail too?  The American people need to wise up and get the government out of the business of dictating results and rewarding people they like (those that donate and give them graft to feed their corruption) and punishing people they don't like (that that criticize and actually call them on their malfeasance).  I'm no shill for J P Morgan but if you're going to start taking heads there are a lot of heads in line in front of J P Morgan.

Kick The RINOs Out!

SEE HERE  I've never seen so many pretend Republicans actually come out against their own grassroots as I've seen in the so-called Republican party in the past few weeks.  I don't know about you but I'm taking names and creating what I call the "Bozo" list ... clowns that are pretend Conservatives pretending to be Republicans while caving to support whatever liberal program comes down the pike.  Sorry to say there are a lot of them.  It's time to get serious and reform the party.

Keeping The Republic: A Cautionary Tale

SEE HERE  In this insightful piece the saga of growing up in Polish Communism and the recovery is sketched and parallels drawn with our current situation.  "A Republic, if you can keep it" is the test Benjamin Franklin suggested existed when he came out of the Constitutional Convention.  Keeping it is the challenge because so many forces seek to destroy it.

Karen Kwiatkowski Endorses Cuccinelli, Jackson, Obenshain For A Better Virginia

SEE HERE  Do you care about freedom and liberty?  If you do it is time to stand up because all across the nation the enemies of freedom are on the march.  Here in Virginia we have a chance to stand up and shout at the top of our lungs: "Stop!" and be heard for Virginia is the cradle of liberty.

You Didn't Really Think There Was A Social Security Trust Fund Did You?

SEE HERE  Let's just focus on reality for a second and can the rhetoric.  There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch (TANSTAAFL!) and the government hasn't been investing or saving or doing anything reasonable with your social security taxes.  They've just wasted it like they waste everything and issued IOUs based on the full faith and confidence of the United States.  When you finish laughing at that idea you might wonder how a system is going to work when there are more people received checks than paying into the system to sustain it.  Like all Ponzi schemes it collapses of its own weight because it runs out of people to pay.  Just an echo but "So long, and thanks for all the fish!"

European Policies ... European Results! No Surprise There Except For Low Information Voters

SEE HERE  "So long, and thanks for all the fish!" Hitchhiker's guide to the Galaxy folks will get the allusion.  Unfortunately there is no place to go as we have not yet developed warp drive.  So all we can do is hunker down in the bunkers and hope there is something left when our fearless leaders finish destroying the economy, promising everyone everything, and then sitting back and consuming the seed corn.

Government Of The People, By The People, And For The People ... Not So Much

SEE HERE  The erosion of our institutions and the closing of the American dream seems well underway. 

A clip from the article about Mark Steyn's comments:

"... the question was whether the governing institutions of the United States of America were capable of meaningful course correction,” Steyn explained. “And I think we’ve just seen, whether you fall on Jonah [Goldberg]’s side or on your side, the net result is that we keep telling the world that we’re not capable of serious course correction. And that’s a problem."

How Do You Tell If The Republic Is Dead?

SEE HERE Are we dead already and just don't know it?  You have to wonder at the antics in Washington.  If any family business were run as incompetently as the United States government it would have to close.  But then the average family business doesn't print the money and have the ability to extort money from their customers (the citizens).  So I guess we are just thoroughly screwed.

We're supposed to have checks and balances which you might know about if you'd been in school long enough ago that they were still teaching about it.  But those checks and balances have been undermined by an Executive branch that thumbs its nose at the Constitution and has cover by a collaborative Senate and a demonizing press that they have in their hip pockets.

The fight against ObamaCare, a usurpation of 17% of the economy and a law whose only function seems to make things more expensive and pretend that they are helping people, has failed to gain traction despite the vast majority of Americans being against it and generally happy with the health care they had which is now being stripped from them in many cases.  Since when is it government's function to wipe our noses, control our health care, dictate what we buy and not buy be it light bulbs or coal.

I wish more of my fellow Americans were showing something like awareness of how dictatorial this all is.  They'll figure it out eventually because the current course is unsustainable.  I just hope it isn't too late.

Lies Lies Lies ... As Far As The Eye Can See

SEE HERE Top Ten Lies About The Shutdown? This is but a small measure of the endless lies we are being fed. It's tragic. Not a statesman to be found and a government dominated by the special interests of the political elite. How tragic for freedom and the future! Here are the top ten lies:

1. We just dodged a nearly fatal economic bullet.
2. The American public was heavily against the conservative wing of the GOP.
3. This chapter has been ruinous for GOP chances for the Senate in 2014.
4. This chapter has been ruinous for the Republican presidential field in 2016.
5. This was horrible for the grassroots.
6. Ted Cruz is damaged goods.
7. The defund effort was a waste of time.
8. America was inflamed about the government slowdown.
9. It is too late for primary challenges to some of the offenders who enabled this useless deal.
10. Next year’s budget and debt ceiling battles are just going to end the same way.

These are what the left wants you to believe but the reality is that the grassroots, at least of the Republican party are pretty angry with what they see as the failed leadership and unprincipled behavior of their establishment whether it be their Congress-people, the RNC or here in Virginia the RPV.

For more commentary on the ten lies or perhaps myths just read the story on the SEE HERE link.

Dead On ... It's Time For A Big Big Change

SEE HERE How long do you plan to be gamed and gulled by the political elites? It's time to retire the current team and start sending men and women of proven virtue and principle to Washington.

Mr. Obama ... Take Down This Wall!

SEE HERE Seems a fitting heading since Obama is at least as much of a Communist as Gorbachev. We have a chief executive with no respect for America, no respect for freedom, and one who is dedicated to destroying the nation as it has been traditionally understood. It's time to push back and to keep pushing back or we are likely going to see the imposition of tyranny in our time.

Bring It On

SEE HERE So Pete King of New York thinks the problem is fiscal conservative? Maybe he should look in a mirror. The government is bloated with waste, inefficiency, debt, and arbitrary regulations that cripple the economy for no good purpose and this useless RINO wants to blame those who seek a real solution? Time to start seriously throwing out RINOs. The Republicans have no idea how much they depend on their Conservative grassroots who are finally waking up to how poorly they are served by those who talk the talk but fail to walk the walk.

ObamaCare Is The Disaster But Big Government Is The Disease

What was broken that ObamaCare pretends to be fixing? It's just another case of government posturing as a solution. First they have to have a problem. To make the problem government generally provides an earlier "solution" which "solved" a non-problem and made a worse one. It's what I call the government two-step. It has grown like a contagious disease and eroded our freedom and our treasure. Economists know that government produces nothing. So Peter is robbed to pay Paul which generally gains Paul's approval and hampers Peter's ability to be productive. Paul works less because he doesn't have to. Peter meanwhile can't expand his business or hire new workers or expand his own income and so he's also disincentivized. The economy slows. Multiplied by millions the government hurts rather than helps the American people posturing the whole time about how they saved the day. Well they didn't. They just made things worse. People don't realize that pretty much across the board people were better off in the 1950s before all this nonsense than they are today.

Is Obama Really Just A "Progressive" Of The Old School

SEE HERE The ideas of the Progressives seems to me to simply be an excuse to increase the power of the central government. Those nasty ole states are just too inefficient and slow and frankly uncooperative. We who are the wise and anointed ones who see all, know all, can plan all, for you and your posterity need to be freed of all these limitations such as the wicked old out of date Constitution imposes. After all we'd never do anything but what is good for you. You should know that. Look at all the money we've extracted (stolen) from the rich (they don't deserve it just because they earned it) and we're going to give it to you ... (well after we've take a very large cut to pay for the 'system' and pay off our associates and ourselves) What could go wrong?

The Ash Heap Of History Awaits The Cowardly

It is time to stand up for America and not let the administration prevail in the "fundamental transformation of America" — The administration is working to destroy the nation, not preserve it. The government is stripping the Constitution of meaning. We either react at the ballot box and win or we will be faced with a more fundamental choice, to resist directly.

It's Time To Clean House: RINOs and Democrats Must Go. They Are Both Consumate Liars!

SEE HERE You can't function if you have no real principles except as a force for destruction. Liberals have been taking down the republic plank by plank for several generations and they are close to finishing the job. They've been helped by go along to get along RINOs on the Republican side who love their power and privilege more than principles and virtue. We either continue this race to the bottom or we stand and resist. "As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." The time has come to resist mightily for the alternative is to go down to Sheol.

Constitutional Crisis In The Offing

SEE HERE This president has no respect for anyone but himself. He defies the Congress, pays no attention to the Constitution, has advisers and members of his administration who are members of the Muslim Brotherhood, and his agenda based on his actions seems to be one of orchestrating the collapse of the United States. Good luck on all that. I personally hope he has bitten off way more than he can chew. The crisis in the offing is dire, but it may be necessary before people really see what we are up against.

The Saga Of The Night Stalker

SEE HERE Valerie Jarrett seems to be the "handler" or at least the president's chief adviser. You can thank her probably more than Obama himself for the shutdown strategy that substitutes thuggish behavior for political legislative negotiation. If the left wins on this then there will be no end to the thuggish lies and maneuvering as they bypass the Legislative Branch and operate unconstitutionally with no regard for the law whatsoever.

As Long As You Think Of Yourself As A Victim You Are But You're Also A Loser

SEE HERE We're all victims. It's sad but true that we're at the mercy of the wind and rain and the many ravages of time. We can just curl up in a ball and die or we can stand up and take responsibility and make changes that redeem our lives and give us value. Victimhood saps the energy and the confidence and turns us into what we fear, "Woe is me!"

Going Backwards With Liberals Lying Like They Always Do

SEE HERE  The black population can thank the lying liberals for retarding their progress.  Walter Williams points out that things were actually better in the past but as long as liberals game the system to create dependency and a sense of inferiority and victimhood in the black community things will not appreciably improve.  It's as much a form of slavery as wage slavery or any other kind of dependence on the "good will" or perhaps better "cast offs" of others.  The only way to advance in this world is to take responsibility and exercise initiative.  Nothing less really works.

We Need Ken Cuccinelli, E.W. Jackson, and Mark Obenshain Elected

  Virginia needs to lead the nation is recovery and you won't get that from the failed policies of people like Terry McAuliffe or Barack Obama who have proved their impotence with six long years of sustained failure.

The Total Failure Of The Left

SEE HERE  The reality is that the left is delusional and everything they touch they destroy.  The only thing they are really good at is lying and propaganda and they've spread their lies through the educational system so that the young believe them.  This will likely lead us down a pathway to total economic and societal collapse.  It is not a pretty sight and it's probably the high probability scenario because the attack has been accompanied by an attack on the truth itself.

Obama's Effort To Abuse The American People To Get His Way

  It's not just politics, it's tyranny and disrespect.  This is a man who has never served anyone but himself.  He is a man who has no record of real achievement and who actively disrespects the military all the time.  He is despicable and so is his policies of delivering maximum pain to the American people.  Maybe the Democrats need to learn how a representative republic is supposed to be work ... respect between opponents and coming together to negotiate.  Not the Democrats.  They are the tyrants in this scenario.

The Phonies In Washington Continue To Pretend To Negotiate

SEE HERE  It's over really.  The Washington political types are just playing the usual footsie games gulling the American people into thinking that something substantive is going on.  The whole bunch need to be taken down and replace with real Americans and serious term limits need to be put in place and the election of Senators by the legislatures of the several states should be restored so that the Senate becomes once more what it was intended to be, the house of the states.  Failing these kinds of things my children and my children's children will see the death of the republic and the great historical cycle of tyranny once more in ascendance.

We Need A Change, A Big Change

SEE HERE  Business as usual won't cut it anymore.  We are on a cusp of history, a tipping point as pundits are wont to say.  On one side of this divide is the loss of liberty and a beginning of the long trek downward into tyranny which typified many earlier sequences in history.  On the other side of the cusp is a return to the vision of the Founders of a Constitutional Republic, a government of laws and not men, a government of distributed powers with only certain limited and fundamentally central power awarded to a central authority.  The authoritarians and collectivists have chipped away at the vision of liberty for over a century and they have now whittled it down so that most people don't even know what the vision was and can no longer articulate it.  They have conditioned the populace to expect someone else to take care of them, in the process draining away personal responsibility and virtue which alone makes a free state possible.  "A republic ma'am if you can keep it" is what Dr. Franklin said.  We have not been good stewards and the republic is clearly in great danger.  You should become involved for the only thing standing between you and slavery is your failure to resist.

A Return to Keynes? ... What Would That Mean?

SEE HERE  Thomas Sowell points out the economic beliefs of Janet Yellen, president Obama's recent nomination to head the Federal Reserve.  Keynesian economics has never worked well and Sowell points out that it has been authoritatively disproved.  But since when has anything like reality interfered with the desire of the left to impose centralized planning and obtain dictatorial control over the economy?

E.W. Jackson: Where The Rubber Meets The Road

  Virginia Needs To Elect Ken Cuccinelli, E.W. Jackson, and Mark Obenshain in November to help us preserve the union.  For as sure and you are alive reading this, failure to take Virginia will show the nation that we are no longer committed to the vision of the Founders but instead are falling into collectivist decadence which will crush the nation.

Think About It! We're Being Gamed As Usual

 I received this in an email and since I used to work for the government myself I can agree with the author ... odd how they can be so ready with professional signs and such to Shutdown the parks and other things ... certainly seems like a set-up!

Storming the Barricades in Washington -

I have worked in the government on and off for 40 years.  During that
time I became quite familiar with requisitions, bidding, awarding contracts etc.  It is a time consuming process with bean-counters and pencil-necked bureaucrats every step of the way.  The simplest request takes months not days or hours.

In less than 8 hours of the shutdown, miraculously, professionally
printed 3X4 foot signs appeared all over the country in the tens of
thousands saying-"this [park, facility, etc. with custom logos] closed due to government shutdown.  There has not been a government shutdown in 17 years.  These signs were designed, specifications were determined, signs were then requisitioned, bids were posted and vetted, government contracts were awarded.  The materials were then ordered and the signs manufactured then distributed U.S. Mails or freight companies.

This shutdown was orchestrated and planned well in advance at least 6-8 month ago.  Millions of tax dollars were appropriated and spent in this process.  There is a paper trail a mile long leading directly to the White House.

People do not realize just what we are dealing with!

The Oath Is To Uphold The Constitution And Not Bow To The Commander In Chief

SEE HERE  The behavior of the White House towards the military is decidedly ambivalent.  On the one hand he treats them like lackeys and on the other he seems to be shaping them towards a force which is loyal to leaders and not to their oath of office.  That didn't work out so well for the Roman Empire because it led to a war between military leaders.  It won't work out well for America either.  The oath each soldier and each elected official takes is to uphold the Constitution of the United States and it's time they started acting like they intend to do just that.

Reality 101: A Traitor In The White House

SEE HERE  I'm sick of all the excuses and lies being told by this administration.  They are not Americans if you measure Americans by their responsible citizenship and their loyalty to the principles that have made America great.  They are traitors seeking to destroy the United States and making quite a lot of progress in that endeavor.  The irresponsible economic behavior and the many violations of law as the commander in chief decides what laws to enforce and what laws not to enforce.  That's not governance.  It's tyranny.  This piece visits the administration's lies about Benghazi.  Make no mistake about it.  These men were sacrificed intentionally by a government that all Americans should repudiate.

Reality 101: They're Coming To Get You

SEE HERE  David Horowitz knows whereof he speaks.  He lived it and left it.  But behind him are those that did not leave and have only advanced their agenda.  You are the target.  You will be the ones to suffer and they will discover too late that it was all a total disaster.

Letter From A Constitutent Telling It Like It Is

April 3, 2013

Senator Patty Murray
Senator Maria Cantwell
Washington, DC, 20510

Dear Senator:

I have tried to live by the rules my entire life. My father was a Command Sergeant Major, U.S. Army, who died of combat related stresses shortly after his retirement.  It was he who instilled in me those virtues he felt important - honesty, duty, patriotism and obeying the laws of God and of our various governments.  I have served my country, paid my taxes, worked hard, volunteered and donated my fair share of money, time and artifacts.
Today, as I approach my 79th birthday, I am heart-broken when I look at my country and my government.  I shall only point out a very few things abysmally wrong which you can multiply by a thousand fold.  I have calculated that all the money I have paid in income taxes my entire life cannot even keep the Senate barbershop open for one year!  Only Heaven and a few tight-lipped actuarial types know what the Senate dining room costs the taxpayers.  So please, enjoy your haircuts and meals on us.

Last year, the president spent an estimated $1.4 billion on himself and his family. The vice president spends $ millions on hotels. They have had 8 vacations so far this year!  And our House of Representatives and Senate have become America's answer to the Saudi royal family.  You have become the "perfumed princes and princesses" of our country.

In the middle of the night, you voted in the Affordable Health Care Act, a.k.a. "Obama Care,"  a bill which no more than a handful of senators or representatives read more than several  paragraphs, crammed it down our throats, and then promptly exempted yourselves  from it, substituting your own taxpayer-subsidized golden health care insurance.

You live exceedingly well, eat and drink as well as the "one percenters," consistently vote yourselves perks and pay raises while making  3.5 times the average U.S. individual income, and give up nothing while you (as well as the president and veep)  ask us to sacrifice due to sequestration (for which, of course,  you plan to blame the Republicans, anyway).

You understand very well the only two rules you need to know - (1) How to get elected, and (2) How to get re-elected. And you do this with the aid of an  eagerly willing and partisan press, speeches permeated with a certain economy of  truth, and by buying the votes of the greedy, the ill-informed and  under-educated citizens (and non-citizens, too, many of whom do vote) who are looking  for a handout rather than a job.  Your so-called "safety net" has become a hammock for the lazy.  And, what is it now, about 49 or 50 million on food stamps - pretty much all Democratic voters - and the program is absolutely rife with fraud with absolutely no congressional oversight?

I would offer that you are not entirely to blame.  What changed you is the seductive environment of power in which you have immersed yourselves.  It is the nature of both houses of Congress which requires you to subordinate your virtue in order to get anything done until you have achieved a leadership role.  To paraphrase President  Reagan, it appears that the second oldest profession (politics),  bears a remarkably strong resemblance to the oldest.
As the hirsute first Baron John Emerich Edward Dalberg Acton (1834 - 1902), English historian and moralist, so aptly and accurately stated, "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men."  I'm only guessing that this applies to the female sex as well. Tell me, is there a more corrupt entity in this country than Congress?

While we middle class people continue to struggle, our government becomes less and less transparent, more and more bureaucratic, and ever so much more dictatorial, using Czars and Secretaries to tell us (just to mention a very few) what kind of light bulbs we  must purchase, how much soda or hamburgers we can eat, what  cars we can drive, gasoline to use and what health care we must buy.   Countless thousands of pages of regulations strangle our businesses costing the consumer more and more every day.

As I face my final year, or so, with cancer, my president and my government tell me "You'll just have to take a pill," while you, Senator, your colleagues, the president, and other exulted government officials and their families will get the best possible  health care on our tax dollars until you are called home by your  Creator, while also enjoying a retirement beyond my wildest dreams, which of  course, you voted for yourselves and we pay for.

The  chances of you reading this letter are practically zero as your staff will not pass it on, but with a little luck, a form letter response might be generated by them with an auto  signature applied, hoping we will believe that you, our senator or  representative, has heard us and actually cares.  This letter will, however, go online where many others will have the chance to read one person's opinion, rightly or wrongly, about this government, its  administration and its senators and representatives.

I only hope that occasionally you might quietly thank the taxpayer for all  the generous entitlements which you have voted yourselves, for which, by law, we must pay, unless, of course, it just  goes on the $17 trillion national debt for which your children and ours,  and your grandchildren and ours, ad infinitum, must eventually  try to pick up the tab.

My final thoughts are that it must take a person who has either lost his  or her soul, or conscience, or both, to seek re-election and continue to destroy this country I deeply love and put  it so far in debt that we will never pay it off, while your lot  improves by the minute, because of your power.  For you, Senator,  will never stand up to the rascals in your House who constantly deceive the American people.  And that, my dear Senator, is how power has corrupted you and the entire Congress. The only answer to clean up this cesspool is term limits. This, of course, will kill the goose that lays your golden eggs.  And woe be to him (or her) who would dare to bring it up.

Sincerely,

Bill  Schoonover

The Tyranny of the Government Indoctrination Centers

SEE HERE  Now not only do they want to propagandize our children, but they want control over the food they eat.  Just where do they get off with this?  I spent my whole childhood carrying bag lunches from home.  I think I can decide what my children should eat and what I want to eat.  The fools in the schools have absolutely no right to do anything that overrules the parents.  This is tyranny at a very focused an intimate level.

Seals Betrayed Once More By Their Civilian Bosses

SEE HERE  The kind of leaks that put our warriors at extra risk due to the inadequate security provided by the civilian leadership is traitorous and the fact that the leaks continue suggests they aer intentional.  We have to get the traitors out of the administration and the White House. 

Quitters Never Win!

SEE HERE  This is so typical of Republicans, especially the establishment RINOs that dominate the party these days.  They get something going such as the recalls in Colorado or the defund ObamaCare movement and then they hit some small obstacle in the road and they get worried and backpedal and quit.  That's not the way to become the majority party.  You have to be seen to stand for something besides getting back into office and the Republican party does stand for a lot of very good Conservative principles which the Republican party hacks only give lip service to occasionally at fund raisers.  The reality is they're always on the verge of caving and running away.

The Death Of Nations Follows Upon Their Loss Of Identity

How to Destroy America

We know Dick Lamm as the former Governor of Colorado. In that context his thoughts are particularly poignant. Last week there was an immigration overpopulation conference in Washington, D.C., filled to capacity by many of America's finest minds and leaders. A brilliant college professor by the name of Victor Hansen Davis talked about his latest book, "Mexifornia", explaining how immigration - both legal and illegal was destroying the entire state of California. He said it would march across the country until it destroyed all vestiges of The American Dream.

Moments later, former Colorado Governor Richard D. Lamm stood up and gave a stunning speech on how to destroy America.

The audience sat spellbound as he described eight methods for the destruction of the United States. He said, "If you believe that America is too smug, too self-satisfied, too rich, then let's destroy America. It is not that hard to do. No nation in history has survived the ravages of time. Arnold Toynbee observed that all great civilizations rise and fall and that ‘An autopsy of history would show that all great nations commit suicide.’”

"Here is how they do it," Lamm said.

"First, to destroy America, turn America into a bilingual or multi-lingual and bicultural country. History shows that no nation can survive the tension, conflict, and antagonism of two or more competing languages and cultures. It is a blessing for an individual to be bilingual; however, it is a curse for a society to be bilingual. The historical scholar, Seymour Lipset, put it this way: ‘The histories of bilingual and bicultural societies that do not assimilate are histories of turmoil, tension, and tragedy.’ Canada, Belgium, Malaysia, and Lebanon all face crises of national existence in which minorities press for autonomy, if not independence. Pakistan and Cyprus have divided. Nigeria suppressed an ethnic rebellion. France faces difficulties with Basques, Bretons, Corsicans and Muslims."

Lamm went on:

"Second, to destroy America , invent 'multiculturalism' and encourage immigrants to maintain their culture. Make it an article of belief that all cultures are equal; that there are no cultural differences. Make it an article of faith that the Black and Hispanic dropout rates are due solely to prejudice and discrimination by the majority. Every other explanation is out of bounds."

"Third, we could make the United States an 'Hispanic Quebec' without much effort. The key is to celebrate diversity rather than unity. As Benjamin Schwarz said in the Atlantic Monthly recently: 'The apparent success of our own multi-ethnic and multicultural experiment might have been achieved not by tolerance but by hegemony. Without the dominance that once dictated ethnocentrcity and what it meant to be an American, we are left with only tolerance and pluralism to hold us together.' Lamm said, "I would encourage all immigrants to keep their own language and culture. I would replace the melting pot metaphor with the salad bowl metaphor. It is important to ensure that we have various cultural subgroups living in America enforcing their differences rather than as Americans, emphasizing their similarities."

"Fourth, I would make our fastest growing demographic group the least educated. I would add a second underclass, unassimilated, undereducated, and antagonistic to our population. I would have this second underclass have a 50% dropout rate from high school."

"My fifth point for destroying America would be to get big foundations and business to give these efforts lots of money. I would invest in ethnic identity, and I would establish the cult of 'Victimology.' I would get all minorities to think that their lack of success was the fault of the majority. I would start a grievance industry blaming all minority failure on the majority placation."

"My sixth plan for America's downfall would include dual citizenship, and promote divided loyalties. I would celebrate diversity over unity. I would stress differences rather than similarities. Diverse people worldwide are mostly engaged in hating each other - that is, when they are not killing each other. A diverse, peaceful, or stable society is against most historical precedent. People undervalue the unity it takes to keep a nation together. Look at the ancient Greeks. The Greeks believed that they belonged to the same race; they possessed a common language and literature; and they worshipped the same gods. All Greece took part in the Olympic games. A common enemy, Persia, threatened their liberty. Yet all these bonds were not strong enough to overcome two factors: local patriotism and geographical conditions that nurtured political divisions. Greece fell. "E. Pluribus Unum" -- From many, one. In that historical reality, if we put the emphasis on the 'pluribus' instead of the 'Unum,' we will " Balkanize " America as surely as Kosovo."

"Next to last, I would place all subjects off limits. Make it taboo to talk about anything against the cult of 'diversity.' I would find a word similar to 'heretic' in the 16th century - that stopped discussion and paralyzed thinking. Words like 'racist' or 'xenophobe' halt discussion and debate. Having made America a bilingual/bicultural country, having established multi-culturalism, having the large foundations fund the doctrine of 'Victimology,' I would next make it impossible to enforce our immigration laws. I would develop a mantra: That because immigration has been good for America, it must always be good. I would make every individual immigrant symmetric and ignore the cumulative impact of millions of them."

In the last minute of his speech, Governor Lamm wiped his brow. Profound silence followed. Finally he said, "Lastly, I would censor Victor Hanson Davis's book 'Mexifornia.' His book is dangerous. It exposes the plan to destroy America. If you feel America deserves to be destroyed, don't read that book."

There was no applause. A chilling fear quietly rose like an ominous cloud above every attendee at the conference. Every American in that room knew that everything Lamm enumerated was proceeding methodically, quietly, darkly, yet pervasively across the United States today. Discussion is being suppressed. Over 100 languages are ripping the foundation of our educational system and national cohesiveness. Even barbaric cultures that practice female genital mutilation are growing as we celebrate 'diversity.' American jobs are vanishing into the Third World as corporations create a Third World in America. Take note of California and other states. To date, ten million illegal aliens and growing fast. It is reminiscent of George Orwell's book "1984." In that story, three slogans are engraved in the Ministry of Truth building: "War is peace," "Freedom is slavery," and "Ignorance is strength."

Governor Lamm walked back to his seat. It dawned on everyone at the conference that our nation and the future of this great democracy is deeply in trouble and worsening fast. If we don't get this immigration monster stopped within three years, it will rage like a California wildfire and destroy everything in its path, especially The American Dream.
