Tell Me Again About The Feds Being On My Side

SEE HERE  The Feds target "Oathkeepers" for offering to protect Ferguson stores.  Gee ... Don't you think they would have been better off using those resources to protect Ferguson stores themselves?  We have a government that is being run by the very thugs that are torching businesses.  This is a coordinated effort to cause a major crisis.  Well it's time to shut down the left, period!  They are the enemy.

What's Better Than "Hope and Change" --- How About The Meaning Of Life

Bill Whittle from DHFC on Vimeo.
The quest for meaning is a foundation of life.  Money and Power are ultimately barren goals unless coupled with a meaningful foundation.  What are you going to do with money and power that makes it worthwhile?  If you can't answer that you are already dead.

In A Sea Of Lies It Is More Difficult To Discern The Truth

SEE HERE We live in troubling times where the very institutions that are meant to free our minds with a liberal education to make us critical thinkers and discerning human beings are instead delivering drivel.  I suppose drivel is a harsh word, but it seems appropriate for a system that simply ingrains the lies of the progressive modern liberal, a set of delusions that imprison the mind rather than freeing it.  It's an uphill battle to free the deluded when so many they are told to respect have forged the chains that confine them.

How Is This Going To Work For You?

SEE HERE  Apparently there is a delay in giving you back the taxes you overpaid in 2014 when you submit your tax return.  Now that's equivalent to increasing your taxes without actually increasing them.  They're going to hold your money longer.  Why?  Because they can!  No other real reason.  God how I hate this administration.  These people are tyrants.

The World of Language Spin

SEE HERE The challenge of discourse in our modern age has been made immeasurably more difficult by the word spin artists, who hijack perfectly good words to twist the public consciousness to a political agenda.  It's an old idea and has always worked rather well whether for Humpty Dumpty in Through the Looking Glass or for Adolph Hitler in the third Reich, or the race baiters in Ferguson who anointed Michael Brown as the gentle giant in the face of a video showing him robbing a convenience store.  Here's Humpty's, another gentle giant's take on it.  I think he nails it!

'I don't know what you mean by "glory",' Alice said.
Humpty Dumpty smiled contemptuously. 'Of course you don't — till I tell you. I meant "there's a nice knock-down argument for you!"'
'But "glory" doesn't mean "a nice knock-down argument",' Alice objected.
'When I use a word,' Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, 'it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.'
'The question is,' said Alice, 'whether you can make words mean so many different things.'
'The question is,' said Humpty Dumpty, 'which is to be master — that's all.'

The Insanity Of The Left — They Seek To Destroy That Which Wasn't Broken

SEE HERE  The leftist collectivists are of the delusional opinion that productivity arises from government and that more government will lead to more prosperity.  The only problem is that this is not only not true, it is so overwhelmingly not true that it can only be believed by those who refuse to learn the lessons of history and are deluded by an authoritarian ideology that has led to more deaths in just the 20th century than virtually all the wars and marauders and tyrannies before.  You would think they would learn but apparently they don't have the capacity.  Instead they believe that somehow they will avoid the past errors because they are smarter and more capable.  It is just the kind of hubris that the Greeks condemned.  We need to restore the free markets that made this country great before the collectivists complete their program of destruction.

Freedom Isn't Free — Stand Up Against Those Trying To Enslave You

  We are a lot less free in America today than when I was a child.  The encroachments grow each year always for our own good of course, or so they say, but the reality is that our margin for personal choice grows ever smaller.  Even little things like wearing a helmet on a motorcycle or a seat belt in a car.  Sure you should, but making it a law. 

Since when is it illegal to be stupid.  If that were faithfully enforced we'd have no representation in Congress and the president would be in jail.  Innumerable things have been declared illegal or regulated.  Every kid used to carry a knife.  Many had rifles and were taught to shoot by their parents.  A lot of schools had rifle teams.  Kids went places by themselves and actually played games without adult supervision.  I could probably go on all day about the things we once could do and did do which are now deemed illegal or inappropriate and of course it's all for our own good.  The result is a generation of people who expect to be taken care of and who actually seem to need to be taken care of because they've never acquired a sense of personal responsibility.  Thus does a great nation die unless we do something to turn it around.

The Press Has Gone Down Hill A Lot

SEE HERE I wanted to be a journalist at one time in the distant past in the time of my youth.  Sheer folly I suppose.  My dad changed my mind through the pure expedient of making it expensive.  He basically said he would not pay for a journalism degree.  I don't suppose he said it quite that way, more like preferring that I pursue a degree in science since I was so good at math.  I didn't end up a journalist for which I have my father to thank and he also showed me how to learn to type by myself so that I now type around seventy words per minute.  But the sad thing is that what passes for journalism these days is so despicable.  It makes me wonder why I ever thought it would be a good thing to do?

The Insanity Of The Race Pimps

SEE HERE It's a game for the left race baiters and pimps who descend on every aggravated situation that springs up and shout "Racism" just to keep the money rolling in and the black community in a perpetual state of self-pity and dependence.  But the reality is that it's fundamentally evil to do these things.  It is evil for the perpetrators of the violence that punishes the innocent, all the innocent from those whose livelihoods have been trashed to those professional victims who blame all their misfortunes on others and never look to their own disordered house, to those who are tasked with maintaining order over a population who resent them because they have to resent someone or realize that they are at fault.  This is where we have come and it was a journey from a better place not so long ago before progressive government launched wars on poverty that in reality were seductive traps that created perpetual victims and killed hope for millions. 

Apparently Freedom of Religion Doesn't Extend To Moral Judgments

SEE HERE  Frankly I think this is despicable.  A man has a right to his moral judgments especially as these are the universal judgment of Natural Law and Christianity since time immemorial.  Where do these modern day perverts get off suspending a public official for publishing a book with a traditional moral perspective.  We obviously live in a society heading straight to the gutter.

Reality 101: Take Responsibility For Your Life

You're not a victim unless you make yourself a victim.  Personal responsibility is the key to success, that and the initiative to pick yourself up and try again.  My mom used to say that success comes to those who work at it.  G.K. Chesterton said, "Anything worth doing is worth doing badly."  Don't quit because you're not successful the first time.  Pick yourself up and get back to work.

So Was It A Set Up? Or Just A Failure Of Leadership?

SEE HERE What is the point of calling up the National Guard if you don't intend to use them?  How is it that such predictable violence was allowed to go on and go on largely unrestrained.  You don't suppose it could have been planned this way?  Well, frankly, that's what it looks like.  Never let a crisis go to waste and if it can be made bigger to gain traction why then make it bigger.  This administration is all about thuggery.  That's their MO.

Ben Shapiro Offers A Thanksgiving Reflection!

Andrew Klavan Is Amazingly Inciteful

Of course this was a rejection of the leftist stupid folks that dominate the totally corrupt, lying marxist morons who want to run everything because they think they are so smart.  Or maybe they just want the power, control, and graft.  Pretty much the same thing.

When Will The Media Be Held To Account For Their Irresponsibility

SEE HERE  This whole Ferguson thing might not have gotten out of hand the way it has were the news media been more responsible and not stirred the coals by reporting racist and inaccurate accounts of what happened.  The whole storyline that Michael Brown, all 6'4" and 289 pounds of him was just a poor innocent teenager was immediate contradicted by video footage of him strong arming and stealing from a local store.  Instead of getting the truth the news media fomented disorder and rioting.  There should be some remedy at law for their irresponsibility.

Justice In Done And Ferguson Erupts In Violence And Looting

SEE HERE I guess this isn't a surprise.  The irrational response on the part of the black community in Ferguson shows how divided we are.  Michael Brown's death was a tragedy mostly because of what he might have been rather than what he was.  Given his behavior towards legitimate authority and what it appears he was doing before the attack on the officer and how he reacted during the attack the outcome was predictable.  Had the officer not fired Brown would have pounded him into the ground and his life was definitely in danger.  I'm sorry for the family, but I'm even sorrier that they didn't bring up their son to be respectful of authority and a good citizen.  The problem is not in the non-black community.  It is clearly a problem in the black community that harbors hatred, racism against the whites who are used to excuse all the bad behavior, and a failure to embrace upright morals and virtue and instead allow themselves to be victimized and played by the race manipulators.  It is tragic and it's intentional on the part of the manipulators.  The black community needs to wake up and stop blaming others for their own failings.

Renewable Energy ... Sorry But It Doesn't Really Work

SEE HERE  I suppose the time may come when there is something called "renewable energy" that actually works.  In the meantime the expression is just the name for something that is impossible inefficient, doesn't work worth a damn, and leaves you with just as large a carbon footprint as you had before.  Besides since the "carbon footprint" is itself a lie, what's the point?

Obama More Tyrannical Than King George III

SEE HERE I don't think there is any doubt that this is true.  Obama is a tyrannical president who thumbs his nose at the Constitution and tries to do whatever he wants and that's been pretty outrageous and beyond his authority in many many cases.  The system that was supposed to stop such stuff called the "separation of powers" has not worked and that seems to be due to the fact that so many of our elected and appointed representatives are not honorable men and do not take their oaths of office very seriously.  It will be sad to see this great nation fail.  It has been a beacon on a hill and a lamp of liberty to the world.  But to keep the light burning requires virtue and that seems increasingly in short supply.  It reminds me of the phrase from C.S. Lewis's book, "The Abolition of Man" and the quote about men without chests: "We make men without chests and expect from them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst.”   A restoration of honor, virtue, and enterprise is sorely needed.

Can Someone Find A Spine For The Republican Party

SEE HERE  The Republicans continue to be a rather bland brand.  Deep down somewhere they have this creed called the Republican Creed.  They don't talk about it much because frankly they don't seem to try to implement it so bringing it up can be an embarrassment.  The trouble is that people really want the Republicans to stand for something and not be the wimpy weakwilled wusses that they always seem to end up being when you offer them the possibility of leadership.  So what's to be done.  (See the Republican Creed Below)

WE BELIEVE:

That the free enterprise system is the most productive supplier of human needs and economic justice,

That all individuals are entitled to equal rights, justice, and opportunities and should assume their responsibilities as citizens in a free society,

That fiscal responsibility and budgetary restraints must be exercised at all levels of government,

That the Federal Government must preserve individual liberty by observing Constitutional limitations,
That peace is best preserved through a strong national defense,

That faith in God, as recognized by our Founding Fathers is essential to the moral fibre of the Nation.

Well there it is.  Now all we have to do is get the Republicans who preach it occasionally to live it.

Benghazi Coverup Continues

SEE HERE There is this belief in Washington and I suppose the media in general that if you ignore a story long enough it will go away.  That's the way liberals think, although "think" is not a very appropriate word when talking about liberals.  They think reality is a social construct so if you lie long enough what you're lying about becomes the accepted truth and if you ignore something long enough it will go away and never have been true.  Well, frankly, that's delusional thinking.  (There's that 'think' word again.) .... just delusional probably is the accurate description.  People that think this way should not be in positions of power and influence because reality matters.  Reality is what is actually the case and sooner or later ignoring it will result in disaster.  We're about due!

Judge Jeanine On Presidential Lawlessness

I love this lady.  She really lays it out there.  We have a president who is clearly trying to destroy the country.  When are we going to stand up and say "enough is enough" and throw this character in jail?

What Do We Get Out Of This?

SEE HERE  Global warming is a farce and CO2 is not a pollutant, but regardless if it was what do we get from this deal with China?  It sounds like a way to give China a pass on generating CO2 which they do in abundance while we impose draconian and unnecessary restrictions on ourselves that put us at a marked disadvantage with the rest of the world.  Just one more way that Obama has found to damage America while advancing Marxism.  This traitor needs to be gone.  Thankfully he's a lame duck but the GOP needs to tie his hands so he can't be so destructive.

How Much Mob Rule Is Enough?

It's time to stop tolerating the thugs and race baiters.  They belong in prison.  We've had enough of this looting and rioting.

Laugh At A Liberal ... It's Fun And They Deserve It

Haha ... Whittle and Andrew Klavan nailing it ... always fun!

Islam: Savagery From The Beginning

SEE HERE Things have not changed.  Marco Polo saw the same face of Islam that we do.

Gruber-Gate In Two Minutes

And you thought the Democrats were honest?  Did you really?  Silly you!  This is their standard MO.  Notice how they are trying to lie their way out of what they are clearly implicated in.  Gruber received huge amounts of grant money from multiple organizations.  He was consulted by the president himself and no because of actually made some frank remarks about what they were doing he's being marginalized as they make believe they never heard of him.  How stupid is that?  I think we can tell who the stupid ones are here.  It's those who continue to lie even when they are on video.  Of course they think we're stupid, how else can you explain the idea that they think we'll believe them?

A President At War With America

SEE HERE The Founding Fathers who drafted the Constitution of the United States were not a bunch of wide-eyed liberal dreamers who thought government was an unmitigated good.  Indeed the framers knew that government was a compromise with the evil in man, an attempt to control and mitigate that evil and they strove in the design of the Constitution to provide for checks and balances of power and to ensure that it would be difficult to govern without compromise.  We've spent more than two hundred years undermining that vision with a particular emphasis on the last one hundred years.  We are now in a final testing ground.  We will soon know if the vision of the founders holds or if the current crop of communist sympathizers who think communism works if just they were just the ones running it will prevail.  It is by no means obvious that the republic will hold.  Men and women of virtue and vision who share the view that government is not good so much as a fearsome tiger to be controlled and brought to heel.  Time will tell and time is growing short.

For A Time Such As This ... Stand For The Way, The Truth, And The Life

Stand up and be counted.

Keep Your Hands Off The Internet Government

The government is not a neutral agent.  It is an agent that gives power to the highest bidder and it's demonstrated its corruption in this administration and in earlier administrations.  "Crony Capitalism" is just one aspect.  Payoffs and paybacks and other schemes for power and profit are what is to be expected if the government takes control of the internet.  So not only "No" but "Hell No!"

Regulations Should Be Well Founded Scientifically

SEE HERE  Common sense is not so common in the government these days.  The weaponization of the various agencies like the EPA to use their authority to mandate things without scientific but only an ideological basis is over the top.  The EPA should be required to defend and prove that what it is proposing is necessary and helpful, otherwise it is just more government thuggery.

The Legacy Of Liberalism

SEE HERE  Thomas Sowell is one smart guy.  I have all his books because he is such a well-reasoned and clear thinker.  Here he takes on the myth of the "legacy of slavery" and shows that until the liberals latched onto it, the legacy was quickly dissolving, but now, thanks to liberal programs, we have created enclaves of conditions that are themselves a form of slavery.  Thanks liberals!  Can we have a little more freedom so people can get away from liberals.

Insanity, Thy Name Is Obama

SEE HERE The Obama China deal is not exactly a quid pro quo — It's more a voluntary surrender of U.S. leadership to a Communist China.  They give nothing and we hamstring our economy so that to comply we court economic collapse and for nothing since the climate change narrative is a tissue of lies.  Can we get our country back?

We Are Americans!

Inspiration Is Found In The Defense Of Freedom

Did I Mention That Obama Was A Liar?

SEE HERE I remember when President Eisenhower was crucified in the media for lying about the Gary Powers U2 shoot down in the Soviet Union, I think in 1960.  It was all over the news sanctimoniously lambasting the president for lying.  It seems we march to a different drummer these days.  The news would a day when the president didn't lie.  Rush Limbaugh nails it here.  Hard to imagine 23 seconds of presidential speech containing more lies than this.  Lie Like A Liberal it's what they do!

Lying Lying Lying ... It's What Democrats, Liberals, And The Media Do

How long are we going to be treated this way by people pretending to be our leaders?  This is clearly collusion in lying to the American people to pass destructive and harmful legislation.

The Entitlements End When The Last Adult Dies

SEE HERE  This seems to be where the self-esteem movements goes, to the sense that somehow you are entitled to whatever you want without ever having done anything to earn it or deserve it but exist.  Sorry, but the world really doesn't work that way.  When the last person with initiative goes to their grave the rest will all be squabbling over the scraps.

Net Neutrality Is Just More Liberal Lying

There is nothing neutral about net neutrality and there is also no such thing as a free lunch.

Once You Know You're On The Plantation You Should Consider Leaving

SEE HERE  This is an upfront denunciation of Democrat racism by a black Ohio legislator.  I just wonder why he's surprised and why he stays?

Lie Like A Liberal — Over And Over And Over ...

The immorality of this administration is beyond belief.  I'm not sure if I already put this up, but if I did it won't hurt for you to see it again and think about the implications.  This is a piece of direct reality in your face.  You are led by arrogant liars.

Fraud = Intentional "Lack of Transparency"

The whole damn bunch need to go to prison.  Why do Americans keep voting for these liars?

This Is Beyond Shameful ... It's What These Fools Really Think

Liberals are beyond reform because they have disconnected from reality and actually believe they can do no wrong.  That what's wrong.

This Is Beyond Outrage: It Is Time To Retire This President

Cancel the funding of the EPA.  They are no longer useful.  They have been weaponized by the leftist communists that have infiltrated our government.

"Bubblevision Commentariat" Continues To Spin Employment Figures

SEE HERE David Stockman focuses on the truth which is: "... the index of total labor hours in the non-farm business economy is at about the same level as way back in the third quarter of 1999."  So despite the spin the reality is that the entire 21st century so far has been stagnant.  Time to call the liars on their continued attempt to pretend that destroying the economy to save it, is working.   What it is really doing is perhaps what it was intended to do all along — Conceal the real agenda while destroying America.

Stockman concludes in part: "Stockman's conclusion is that central bank policies reinforce a make-believe world instead of promoting real employment."

Lie Like A Liberal — It's What They Do!

If you want men and women of low character running the country just keep supporting Democrats.  They think they are the smartest people on the planet and that you are beyond dumb and have to be lied to so that you'll support them as they take your freedom and your treasure away to do with as they will.  It's just the way they are.  People of no character, liars, cheats, snivelers, and corrupt to the core.

Sometimes You See Something You Have To Steal And Post

 This is from a Facebook Friend's Wall And Since I Love Pithy Sayings, Especially Those That Shine With The Sheen Of A Wild Bullet Of Truth Which I Usually Call REALITY 101 — I Had To Post It.

GREAT TRUTHS:

is a shame, two is a law firm, and three or more is a Congress.

10. Government is the great fiction, through which everybody endeavors to live at the expense of everybody else. -- Frederic Bastiat , French economist(1801-1850)

12. I don't make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts. -- Will Rogers
13. If you think health care is expensive now, wait until you see what it costs when it's free! -- P. J. O'Rourke

One More Solar Fiasco ...

SEE HERE Frankly if solar energy is so great it should pay for itself like all the other industrial initiatives are expected to do.  The fact that it doesn't work as advertised is a sign that it's not as good as expected and may well never be.  I'm a big fan of technology that works, not delusional wannabe technology that sounds great but really doesn't answer the mail.  The taxpayer should not be in bail-out mode.  Let these adventures pay for themselves or fail.

The Real Face Of Liberalism

SEE HERE  Liberals are always talking about how tolerant they are and how they support free and open discussion.  That is they support it as long as it agrees with them.  There is nothing so intolerant as a contradicted liberal.  It's pretty funny when you think about it.  Liberals have two modes.  Mode one is nodding sagely as people agree with them and mode two is when they go into totally nutso mode and start screaming epithets, well to be honest they don't always scream, but when they do it is much more entertaining.  The one mode they never seem to enter is that of rational discussion.

Intentional? Or Just Incompetence?

SEE HERE Incompetence is probably as likely as malice, but it doesn't really matter because whatever the explanation is, this kind of thing creates problems with the integrity of the voting process.  If you are to have a representative republic then you have to have an honest way to select those who will represent you.  The Democrats have time and time again resisted in the strongest way any efforts to improve election integrity.  As far as I'm concerned that's an ipso facto reason to believe that they are seriously invested in voter fraud.  We need to have the whole system revamped to make it easier to audit elections and ensure there is no voter fraud.  When someone has voted it should be impossible for them to vote a second time.  It should be impossible for a dead person to be still registered to vote.  It should be impossible to get multiple ballots so that you can be registered in more than one state.  Today all of these are not only possible but are common approaches to voter fraud.

Judge Jeanine Focuses On The Mid-Term Results

Speaking Truth To The Left — Judge Jeanine lays it on the line.  Obama doubles down on his mindless and destructive agenda.  The Republicans better deliver.  We still have a tyrant wannabe king in the White House.

They Wish!

SEE HERE There is nothing the left would like more than a civil war between the Establishment Republicans and the Tea Party Conservative grassroots base of the party.  Joseph Sobran may have called the Republicans the "stupid" party but we'll soon know just how stupid they really are.  If they continue to think the ouster of the Democrats is a signal to "get along" they'll discover that that kind of misreading of the tea leaves is bad for their continued political survival.  One lesson they should learn is not to take the New York Times seriously.  Really?  They speak for the Republicans?  How delusional is that?

Rick Perry Spinning Up For 2016 Run

SEE HERE  New Hampshire is going to see a lot of Rick Perry here shortly.  No sooner are the 2014 mid-terms completed than the spin up begins for 2016.  It's a shame really.  I remember when you got some relief from politics between elections but television and wall to wall campaigning seems to have changed all that.

Red State Sums Up

SEE HERE  "It is incumbent upon grassroots activists to ensure that leadership fully appreciates the urgency in beginning to legislatively follow through on the past half-decade’s worth of promises, now that the party controls the full Congress."  The is the last chance the Republicans get — If they blow this then it's time to retire the elephant.

Phyllis Schlafly An American Original

Harvard Commencement 1978

The more things change the more they remain the same.  This was an address recommended by Peter Kreeft the other day at the Institute for Catholic Culture.  The West is dying unless we do something about it.

Renewing An Old Aquaintance — Marines, Meet The Muslims

Remember Who You Are

SEE HERE "Who are your people?"  I remember being asked this question once when I was a teenager.  I'm not sure I understood the question fully then.  It was an old woman asking me, a random encounter with an older person and she was asking me where I came from and what my family traditions were.  I'd never really thought about it.  We have to tell our stories or they will be forgotten and we will not have a people or a past.  I think I need to sit down sometime, maybe soon, I'm not getting and younger, and try to answer that question.  The larger society has to answer the same question.  "Who are your people?"

Reality 101: Truth Trumps Delusion

This discussion with Cardinal Burke is fascinating for its focus on what is actually true as opposed to what people may desire and wish to create delusions to make their desires appear reasonable.  We live in a society where this approach is quite common so that it even takes on the appearance of common sense.  The problem of course is that truth trumps the delusion that what we want can change the fundamental reality.

Sarah Palin Lays It Out There

SEE HERE  The Republicans better not think they were elected because people love Republicans.  They were elected because they were the only alternative and if they want to stay elected they better get the message.  People don't want liberal-lite. They don't want more tax and spend.  They want to see some reform so you better give it to them.  This might well be your last chance.

Cops Versus Thugs: Stand With The Cops

Ferguson is not about racism.  It is about thugs and the disastrous deterioration of the black community.

Liberal Delusions

SEE HERE  The problem with liberals is that even when you point out that they are deluded they would rather keep the delusion than learn that it isn't true and move on.  Here are ten that the liberals continue to enjoy in their isolated little insane world.

Repeal The 17th Amendment: End Progressive Tyranny

Bill Whittle in the aftermath of the mid-terms.

Bill Whittle Offers His Top Five Conservative Principles

Yours might vary but these are a very good start.

Republicans Given One Last Chance To Act Like Adult Conservatives

Better get with the program Republicans.  The people are not happy with the Democrats but don't kid yourselves because they are not happy with you either.

In Case You Didn't Know Who The Racists Are Now You Know

SEE HERE It's funny how the people who yell 'racist' the loudest are in fact the biggest racists.  The Democrats have been the party of racism since forever where forever goes back at least to the period just after the Civil War and extends at least as far as my birth and development so that when I was in high school they were still maintaining the KKK and segregation in the South.  It hasn't really changed that much.  The only thing now is that the racism is somewhat more muted and expressed in more subtle ways such as affirmative action and the implication that people in the black community can't really take care of themselves or think for themselves without government help and entitlement programs.  The reality is that excellence does not emerge from that environment, so only the form of the slavery has changed.  The Democrats are still maintaining the plantation.  It's just moved.

Technology Game Changers: How The World Advances In Warmaking Ability

SEE HERE One wonders sometimes if these are advances.  Richard Feynman pointed out how dismal a future the scientists who created the atomic bomb imagined.  They were sure that it would be used soon in devastating ways.  Of course they were in the midst of World War II when they created it and saw its first use.  Nevertheless technology continue to advance and in that direction encounter more ways for man to do things never before imagined.  This link takes you to the wonderland of advance technology as applied to warfare.  Enjoy the journey!

Are Liberals Actually Employable?

SEE HERE  I guess Sandra Fluke is looking for a job now that her bid to be a politician is a bust.

Pause And Smell The Flowers

A Hard Look At Reality In The Light of Yesterday's Mid-Term Elections

The material below was distributed by Heritage Action and it's food for thought when deciding how to move forward to try to restore America before we turn into just one more 3rd world banana republic.

1. Candidates win when they campaign on conservative principles. In race after race, Republicans who won campaigned on repealing Obamacare, stopping amnesty, and restoring limited, constitutional government. Remember: just a year ago, the Establishment told us that fighting Obamacare would cost Republicans in the election.

2. The American people are frustrated with the status quo in Washington. But the Establishment is already trying to claim victory. That makes it all the more important that we fight to rein in big government and end business-as-usual cronyism in Washington, where the well-connected get favors from those in power. Your work as a Sentinel is critical to ensuring lawmakers hear from the grassroots.

3. The hard work starts now. Winning elections is important. But what you do when you win is more important still, since it enables legislative victories and future political success. We have to ensure this new crop of lawmakers sticks to their conservative campaign promises. In less than a week, Heritage Foundation and Heritage Action staff will meet with every newly-elected Representative and Senator to start building relationships. Over the coming weeks and months, we will start educating them on the issues, reinforcing them in their home districts, and pushing them to vote on principle.

Insanity Pretending To Be Government

SEE HERE  How is this anything but tyranny?  A law against sharing food?  What!  Are these people nuts and how can such a law be legitimate.  It is an unconscionable law.  The government that passes such laws is practicing tyranny.  Hungry and homeless people need to be helped not marginalized and isolated and the people trying to help them punished.  A government that does this sort of thing needs to be replaced.

Of Course There's No Voter Fraud: Move Along Nothing To See Here

SEE HERE Gee, I don't suppose having a 2.8 million voters with registrations in multiple states or 1.8 million dead voters who are still on the election rolls could be a problem, right?  No, just ask any Democrat and they'll tell you there's no voter fraud.  Of course they're the ones filling out absentee ballots for illegals and helping people to vote where their identity won't be checked.  What could go wrong?  Let's face the reality of it all. 

Democrats have been orchestrating vote fraud my whole life.   Some of the examples are epic such as the way they stole the election from Richard Nixon in 1960 or frankly the reelection of Barack Obama in 2012 or the epic voter fraud machines in New York, Chicago, Boston, and for that matter Northern Virginia and Baltimore. 

Statistically the voter fraud is rather easily detected as having happened but noone ever seems to investigate it.  Precincts that vote 100% for a single candidate despite the vote in the larger election being close to 50:50.  Precincts where the vote count exceeds the number of registered voters ... hmmm... how does that happen exactly especially when people are always complaining about low turnout.  It's time to fix the system but we have to have the political will to do that.  If we can't have honest elections then we obviously can't have honest government.  That way leads to tyranny and subjugation.

More BS From The Source, The Mother Lode Of BS, The NYT

SEE HERE Yup the New York Times is the universal source of totally liberal BS.  Now they think that mid-term elections have no role.  Apparently they don't understand that the vision of the founders was to give the people a voice every two years by allowing them to reelect or change their representatives.  That's too frequent for the New York Times since it actually gives the electorate an opportunity to change things and to throw a monkey wrench into the New York Times' favorite tyranny.  It is my hope that the Times will disappear into irrelevancy as the internet takes over the dissemination of information and we no longer need self-appointed and self-important leftists to tell us how to think.  I think we can probably manage that on our own, at least we can if the schools don't keep dumbing down people so much.

The Growing Pervasive Tyranny

SEE HERE Freedom seems to me to suggest that the state should not be engaged in pervasive surveillance of your every move and action.  It's none of their damn business where I drive, who I call on the telephone, how I use my computer, or any of a thousand other things that they seem hellbent on monitoring.  My tax dollars should not be squandered on my subjugation.  We need much smaller and less invasive government if we expect to remain free.  This kind of thing is beyond the pale it seems to me.

Not Only Is There Voter Fraud But It Is A Democrat Staple

SEE HERE The Democrats are experts on voter fraud and have been going back to before I was old enough to vote.  It's sheer hypocrisy and lying that there's no voter fraud.  The voter fraud is huge and increasing and my favorite guy, Thomas Sowell one of the most clear and sensible voices in America calls it out.  We have to start reforming our election procedures to eliminate voter fraud if we expect to keep our country a representative republic as it was instituted to be.  The left is determined to simply turn us into a tyrannical collectivist state and that will mean squalor and poverty for all but the ones in charge.  If you think that's a great idea just keep voting Democrat until they finally cancel elections because the leadership no longer needs to pretend they care.

This Is What Happens When You Let Liberals Run Things

SEE HERE  If you want economics vitality you don't let liberals run the economy.  They only know how to destroy and not to build.  This disastrous economy is scheduled to get worse in 2015. Thanks liberals.

Vote Fraud Rare? How Would You Know Given That It Is So Easy?

In North Carolina anyway.  Just walk in and vote.

Education? Really?

SEE HERE  Maybe instead of texting on your cell phone all the time you should hit the books.  Of course that would require books that are worth hitting.  Education in the United States is not exactly a roaring success story.

The Failure To Engage And Destroy These Barbarians Is Tragic

SEE HERE This is just more and more of the barbarism that is the real face of Islam unleashed and destroying ancient Christian sites and killing Christians.  The fact that the secular states are just standing by and watching just shows how epic has been the decline in principles, values, and faith in the West.  The West once was the defender of Christianity.  It is now sinking slowly and now more rapidly into a degraded status as a decaying and unprincipled relic of a once great past.  If people of faith cannot turn this around they will join their Christian brothers and sisters in enslavement, servitude and death.

Vote Harry Reid Out On Tuesday

Bob Goodlatte and Ed Gillespie are who I'll be voting for come Tuesday.

The Media Spin Game — Dishonesty In Media Is Now The Rule Rather Than The Exception

It's time to get up front and personal with this media bias thing.  They are dishonest and crooked and it biases the whole system.
