IN CONGRESS, July 4, 1776.
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America,
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.-----
“We the People”
"We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."Categories

Get in the damn game…
I think it’s fair to say when looking at the failure of the “Super Committee”, Governor Christie is spot on when he asks the POTUS: “What the hell are we paying “you” for”? Put aside for a minute Christi’s accurate assertion that President Obama has been essentially AWOL during the debt debate choosing instead to heckle from the side lines. What is truly amazing is that he’s made around 50+ trips to 11 potential 2012 swing states of recent, and all on our dime, that’s more than any of his predecessors. Moreover, I continue to chuckle every time I hear School Boy Jay Carney say things like: “It would be a stretch to think we would know which states will be battleground states”. I mean, how stupid does this clown think we are. Truth be told, the Obama team has a group of individuals whose sole responsibility is to monitor every detail of his election campaign, specifically something as critical as the 80 or so electoral votes he must get to win in 2012.
So putting aside Carneys contempt for the “unwashed”, it is not “a stretch” when we ask our President to get off the campaign train, jog on over to Capitol Hill, and get in the damn game!
Presidential IQ…
While my political differences with President Obama run deep, I have never questioned the man’s intellect. I will admit I’ve made some not so flattering references to his Presidency looking a bit like that of # 39, those were more about where the country seems to be heading as he applies his college thesis to the problems of real life.
To the contrary, Barack Obama is no dummy. He is however the most ideological man ever to sit in the Oval Office, and yes that includes Ronald Reagan. In this man’s eyes, we are but the unwashed masses and would benefit greatly if we would just submit to his wisdom. The problem is “We the People” are beginning to understand, and in greater numbers every day, that this is not about the Presidents cognitive abilities by way of his education, but rather it is about his refusal to accept the concept of an all things to all people view of the federal system is simply unrealistic.
So while the POTUS continues to pour over his Noam Chomsky literature looking for a reason why the economy refuses to turn around despite him having played the Socialist play book by the numbers to include the class warfare standard, the country is slowly slipping away into the always fatal abyss of international insignificance. We are a dying world power.
Now I heard someone talking on the cable news today about a certain Republican Primary candidate “re-making” himself and no longer sounding “apocalyptic”. Thinking about that, I wanted to use this post and its topic to remind my readers of something very important. While “apocalyptic” is not a word I use with any frequency, to categorize our current national predicament with even the slightest hint of complacency would mean your “cognitive abilities” should be called into question. The United States of America, with Barack Obama as President, is in fact changing. The question is, will you accept that change?
The coming storm…
Is there anyone out there who believes that the so-called “Wall Street Protests” haven’t morphed into a chaotic, unprincipled and frankly public threat? If so you should pull your head out of your posterior post-haste.
I’m sorry Juan Williams, Bob Beckel and Chris Matthews, the blood and facts are there for all to see. This is no longer a viable demonstration or protest as much as it is an incoherent uprising by a small but vocal and even violent bunch of 60’s anarchists, homeless, misguided college kids, drug addicts and law breakers. Any message that may have been brought to the table by way of the “people’s voice” has been co-opted and massacred to reflect only anger and felony violence against any who oppose their view of the world, including law enforcement attempting to restore normalcy. It has become what we of the “common sense doctrine” knew it would.
The question is what will come of this mess? What will the message be now, or is this simply the beginning of something even more diabolical and devastating for our wounded nation?
Ah, the age of Obama…
Lazy day…
Let’s face it, we all have our moments when we are less than motivated. You know, those times when we just want enjoy the beautiful day, or a late afternoon adult beverage (or two)on the deck, or even play hooky occasionally from the office. I’d have to say these distractions are the things we often take for granted when we forget how truly blessed we are in this world.
Having this in mind however, I take great umbrage when a politician refers to the American institution as “lazy”, especially a Liberal one. On a personal level, I see our President for what he is, a college cling-on who has never really experienced the working man’s side of this life in any meaningful way, but rather has “elected” to exist primarily in the reality vacuum which is the political dynamic in our country. His “efforts” have been focused on changing America first, as opposed to bettering the nation’s proven philosophy in order to promote its Constitutional ideals for all.
I think it is this “disconnect” many did not see back in 2008 when they voted for the change they believed would come within the framework we all understand is America. They were blindsided by the glitz, nuance and teleprompter skills of our first (half black) President and missed all the warning signs. They embraced the remarkable evolution of our young nation unmatched in the world, but failed to truly listen to what Barack Obama was actually saying.
I suppose I should be happy the 2008 election finally facilitated the challenge I have been writing about for years now, a moment in time when Americans would have to wake up and choose a way forward. For it is the moments when this President’s true motivations and thought process are on display, such as on his latest Southeast Asian swing, that we swallow hard and say to our collect selves, “oh boy, what is happening here”? We listen with anxiety as our nation’s leader goes on foreign soil and diminishes and insults the greatest work force and ethic of any people in all of recorded time, and we cringe as we listen to our history being flattened and ridiculed by the same person who was elected on the notion he would bring some sort of collective unity at home and abroad.
Sadly, it is Barack Obama the man that we see up on that podium. It is the real deal Socialist with disdain in his heart for a people who cannot see or understand his “superior intellect”. It is the closet revolutionary whose real loyalties lie with those who would remake our nation in the vein of a failed European experiment. And it is only “We the People” who stand in his way. Stand tall America…
Covert freedom…
I think Senator Lindsey Graham R- SC said it all recently when he summed up what a confrontation with the rogue nation of Iran would involve. While the POTUS was off kissing the fannies of the Iranian co-conspirators, Graham noted that simple elimination of Iran’s nuclear facilities would not be enough, and that total destruction of the ability to make war with her neighbors must be the objective. We must keep in mind that the Iranian regime has been allowed to pursue its military advancements essentially unhindered by the West, and has actually been aided by the Russians and the Chinese who would sell gasoline to an arsonist if meant profit and/or the demise of the United States as a world power. Moreover, the Obama Administration’s approach to diplomacy as a means to “negotiate” with stone cold killers has certainly not been much of an impediment either. For all intents and purposes, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has been operating on a free pass with only Israel sounding the alarm of Armageddon if this psychotic should succeed in developing a deliverable nuclear device.
Let’s look at the hard reality of this nightmare. This regime and its facilitators are of the most reprehensible sort and see all things through the lens of Sharia law. They have expressed openly, their desire to rid the world of the “Zionist state”, and have even suggested that the documented events of the Nazi Holocaust did not occur. This group condones and carry’s out appalling violence against women, in some cases merely because they are women. Stoning, lashing and public hanging can and have been the punishment for adultery with the men involved walking away. Rejection of their belief system can bring a sentence of death as we are witnessing in the case of a Christian Pastor convert imprisoned by the Mullahs. And it is common knowledge that the Iranian Revolutionary Guard have been actively engaged in supplying weapons and operatives who have brought about the deaths of American soldiers fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan.
This is just a sampling of a long list of factual evidence suggesting, no, proving this is indeed a rogue regime which when in a position to do so, will act out against those seen as enemies and most certainly with epic consequences. Make no mistake, World War III will begin in Tehran if action is not taken to deter these insane bastards.
Now that we have shown the mindset and intent of this bunch, what to do?? I know there will be those who say a war with Iran will be costly both in blood and treasure and they would be correct. And there will be others who say it is not our place to police the world and they have a point. Some would even suggest that it is the United States which is the rogue nation. All of this is certainly adequate material for a lengthy and lively debate on the matter. But time is now of the essence as the most recent United Nations report on Iran’s nuclear capabilities confirms what we all suspected, that being they are far closer than originally thought or was reported by that phony, Mohamed El-Baradei, when he was the U.N. Nuclear Inspector. With this in mind, and while I would not rule out military action if necessary to avert world conflict, we seem to be forgetting the most well established resistance movement in the world today exists within the nation of Iran itself. Truth be told, these folks have been at it for some time and with the appropriate backing could surely wrestle their own country out from underneath the stench of its current leadership. Long before the so-called “Arab Spring” was even a phrase, Iranians were protesting and dying in the streets for the cause of freedom, and these were not Islamic radicals masquerading as “freedom fighters”, but rather young folks who were expressing themselves in the open and on the social networks, and who clearly identified with a true desire to chart their individual destinies by way of a free and representative government. Why then is our own government not talking more about how they might incorporate this movement into any proposed solution, and soon?
I suspect there are some who walk in military circles and who see the value in this thought process. I can only hope they will have a place at the table for the coming debate. In the end, and despite all of our other issues of late, the world problem that is and has been the rogue nation of Iran is now upon us. To blink now is to invite a world-wide confrontation.
“Super Committee Crunch”…
I think that in view of what seems to be happening within the so-called “Super Committee”, we can clearly see it is unlikely there will be compromise in Washington anytime soon. And if by some miracle there is bipartisan agreement on how to reduce our enormous national debt, any measures employed to accomplish that goal will be severely scrutinized by one side or the other. I seem to remember the POTUS and others talking way back when, about how this would be a “painful process for all”, yet he seems laser focused on making damn sure it comes at the expense of one group in particular. Notwithstanding the Presidents propensity to play the class warfare card at every possible juncture these days, we are now hearing folks like Leon Panetta crying foul as he sees the catastrophic damage which would result from proposed military budget cuts if an agreement on the debt is not reached. He has even gone so far as to suggest those cuts would at the very least, create an international environment which would embolden our enemies to take action against us. This is all in addition to the very obvious consequences for our economy as world banks and credit reporting agencies will surmise we are ill-prepared or even unwilling to get our fiscal house in order. We can also be sure that any direct cuts to entitlements which go forward without the aforementioned agreement, will be met with the most vile and hateful response imaginable from the Progressive side of the aisle.
So as we watch and wait on the response from the “Occupy” folks out on the West Coast who have been told to end their protest because of incidents of extreme violence and disruption, and who are now allegedly preparing for additional violence against the authorities in the event of any planned dispersal, we can only wonder how all of this “divisiveness” our President and his party have promoted of recent, will play out domestically and even in the view of other nations and “entities”.
Battle brewing…
When folks like Sally Kohn spew their hate filled and baseless rhetoric about how the Right is actually “sabotaging the economy” so as to bring about the defeat of Barack Obama in 2012, I have to laugh. Hell, he’s doing that all by himself. It does always make me think of the Presidents civility speech back in Arizona though, and how Liberals must have had the volume turned down on that one.
I have long predicted that this election would finally bring both ideologies clearly into focus. Folks would now have an opportunity to make the most difficult choice of their political lives, to embrace “pie in the sky” Progressive Utopia in the hopes that the “Professor Obama college try” will somehow yield better times, or to vote for America and the fundamental and proven truths of human freedom, hard work and self-reliance. I don’t believe anyone is denying there is much to be fixed however, and that we have been asleep at the wheel as “both” our government and corporate America have gone astray of the values which we have entrusted to them. But to abandon the very principles which have allowed our nation to prosper in ways unmatched the world over and through all of time is simply a non-starter. To think along these lines is promote a way of life that has failed the rest of the world time and again and throughout history with often horrible consequences.
As we mark exactly one year to Election Day, I am contemplating the months ahead and how they will most likely be filled with the most vitriolic rhetoric we have ever known in a campaign. I am cognizant of something that I never would have imagined seeing in my lifetime, and I am painfully aware that we are losing our history at an alarming rate. Sadly, it is being replaced with the marching orders of the Progressive Left and the lazy, intellectually and morally corrupt anarchists we are now seeing with more and more frequency on the nightly news. Even more alarming is that just a few short years ago I would have scoffed at the notion that America would die from within, and that “We the People” would chose the free ride as opposed to earned success. This script does remain to be written however.
It just seems as though we are no longer arguing about who is successful, or the phrase (life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness), but rather whether or not any measure of success is simply a birth right which must be pre-figured and guaranteed by an all-encompassing federal entity. This has been and always will be the result of politically promoted class warfare. Read your history for the end result…
“In God we trust”…
So the President doesn’t like that Congress voted on the reaffirmation of “In God we trust” as the nation’s motto. His message was of course laced with rhetoric regarding his contention that the Republican led House has been doing nothing to put America back to work.
There are a couple of peculiar things about the President’s decision to mock congress on the “motto thing” though, not the least of which is that Speaker Boehner has in fact sent over 15 jobs proposals for the Senates consideration which have all been labeled “dead on arrival” by WH Harry Reid. Maybe that should be the Senates motto. Are they part of the “do nothing Congress” the President is referring to, or is he frustrated because his initial stimulus did little if anything besides stimulate a whole lot of fraud investigations. Or maybe he feels a little silly going out and touting all these “shovel ready projects” again. Or possibly, he is stumped on how the hell he’s gonna pay for any of it, or for that matter how to explain why entitlement spending has usurped all of the cash away from its Constitutional destination… This guy is the poster child for political hypocrisy. Moreover, the Congress deals with literally thousands of such bills and moves them with relative speed under accelerated procedural rules. It is the day-to-day business of Capital Hill and (former 180 day Senator Barack Obama) damn well knows it.
Now on the issue of the motto itself, it is school boy Jazzy Jay Carney who has once again helped us to define his bosses Administration. His uneducated comment on the phrase “God helps those who help themselves” which he mistakenly stated was from the Bible when referencing the POTUS’s earlier comments, demonstrates how little faith these nitwits have in anything but their own ideological belief system. They are truly devoid of honor in any form and therefore incapable of leading with the confidence necessary to represent “We the People”.
A Black Conservative???
I do not condone nor would I suggest that sexual harassment in the workplace, specifically against women, is acceptable for any reason, it is not. That said, the vetting of a particular occurrence is a matter for the
company in question to address and/or face the possibility of federal involvement.
In the matter of Presidential Candidate Herman Cain it is
clear that until a gag order put in place by the presiding judge is lifted, all
the facts are simply not there. Consequently, I shall reserve my opinions until
that time. This however, does not mean that I will not comment on the foaming at the mouth Liberal attack dogs who see this man as the greatest possible threat to “their black imposter” in the White House.
What could possibly be worse than a black Conservative? A self-made
man who defied the “odds” and made it happen for himself and for his family, a
man who refused to be labeled as anything but an American trying to succeed, a
man who did not listen to Washington Progressives when they told him that he
was being kept down, and a man who is now calling out the current President for
the phony working class hero, entitlement and class warfare crap he has been
dishing.
Look, I expect Herman Cain to do what I believe is in his heart and tell the truth. Moreover, I see genuineness in him which is markedly different in the appeal department than the packaged presentation of our current “Professor in Chief”. All things considered, if it turns out that Candidate Cain has been less than truthful, I will certainly support someone else moving forward. However, if it is determined that this is a smear campaign with little or no basis in fact, less the stories of a few easily manipulated and money hungry perverts, will the Liberals then offer an apology to the front-runner and champion the
cause of hard work, dedication and determination to a minority populous which needs
and damn well deserves the truth, and not some race based agenda of lies and manufactured disadvantages? I think not…
