Time to toot horn for George H.W. Bush....

"George W. Bush did me one of the great favors of my life. He asked me, not once,but twice, to work with his father to help people in need: first in South Asia in the tsunami and then in the Gulf Coast after Katrina. All told, we took seven trips together. It was an amazing experience. This man, whom I'd always liked and respected and then run against in a painful campaign in some ways, I literally came to love."

Cal Thomas: More of the same....

As with previous Congresses, this one (again) delayed the debt issue for two months and will have to face it again, along with what to do about the debt ceiling. Only expletives that can't be printed in a family newspaper accurately characterize this bunch, so I'll have to settle for pathetic, unprincipled and irresponsible.

Obama to 'Quickly' Go for Immigration Reform and Gun Control....

We must stay vigilant!!! 
I feel the reason the Obama Administration makes "everything" that happens in DC these days a "crisis" situation is that they feel it will eventually wear people down. 
Heck, it is already. They believe they can wear us down to the point we don't even watch anymore. 
That "my vote doesn't make a difference" mentality.....we must NOT allow this to happen. 
Not to sound dramatic..but our Country and the very Constitution it was created from are in serious danger. Their only protection will have to come from "We the People"....

"The timeframe is likely to be cheered by Democrats and immigration reform advocates alike, who have privately expressed fears that Obama's second term will be drowned out in seemingly unending showdowns between parties."

The outlet claims that it is "unclear what type of immigration policies the White House plans to push in January."

No details on what sort of gun control legislation the White House will seek were offered in the article.

Des Moines Register publishes gun-ban column advocating deadly violence against NRA, GOP leaders......

Ever notice the Left can say ANYTHING it wants...and there are only cricket's chirping.... ?!

Declare the NRA a terrorist organization and make membership illegal. Hey! We did it to the Communist Party, and the NRA has led to the deaths of more of us than American Commies ever did. (I would also raze the organization’s headquarters, clear the rubble and salt the earth, but that’s optional.) Make ownership of unlicensed assault rifles a felony. If some people refused to give up their guns, that “prying the guns from their cold, dead hands” thing works for me."

Obama Would Call on Military to Disarm Americans During National Emergency .......

Given the imminent introduction of Senator Dianne Feinstein’s draconian gun control legislation, which would instantly criminalize millions of gun owners in the United States if passed, concerns that the Obama administration could launch a massive gun confiscation effort have never been greater.

Michael Moore Pledges to Stop Saying ‘I Support the Troops’ in Odd New Year’s Resolution List....

I can't stand this vapid loser....

Filmmaker Michael Moore is known for his controversial views. And on New Year’s Eve the liberal documentary director continued the trend when he outlined his personal resolutions. While some of his goals are benign and commonplace — like pledging to walk more — a few are eyebrow-raising. Case-in-point: the fourth resolution on his list, which reads, “Stop saying, ‘I support the troops.’ I don’t. I used to.”

Tax Cuts and Duplicity.....

Interesting read....gives me hope for Paul Ryan - though he just disappointed me more than I thought possible voting for the Fiscal Cliff proposal....

Those income tax rates reflect a middle class tax cut that was adopted by a Republican Congress and a Republican President 12 years ago, which virtually all Congressional Democrats voted against at the time. That is why they are called the Bush tax cuts. President Obama told us when he was running s office that the Republicans only cut taxes for the rich. But now all we have heard is about how we can’t let the Bush tax cuts for the middle class expire.

Obama's Thug America ....

However - we allow the Left to define us thus....

Barack Obama is the best messenger of this ideology. His philosophy on the fiscal cliff has been simple: condemn the rich for their greed, cast them out as lepers. Will falling off the fiscal cliff make us more prosperous? Of course not. Even Obama acknowledges that. But he insists that the rich must be taxed, for they are greedy. After all, he is only "asking them" (read: compelling them) to "pay their fair share" (read: foot all the bills associated with reshaping human nature). Republicans believe that prosperity cannot be accomplished by the IRS. But Obama instead casts them as representatives of those greedy rich, and thus fit for excision from the public debate, too.

Why the 2nd Amendment.....

Thomas Jefferson: "What country can preserve its liberties if its rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms."

Anonymous: 'Expect us' in 2013.....

Along with a statement released over the weekend, which stated that the world should "Expect us 2013," the hackers issued a video boasting of cyberattacks which took place last year -- including temporarily shutting down the U.S. Department of Justice (DoJ) and attacks against the Motion Picture Association of America's (MPAA) web site in protest at the closure of file-hosting website MegaUpload.

Bush Reconsidered ......

Yet, as with all presidents, with time and a successor come perspective. So it is not hard to see why the out-of-office Bush’s likability ratings are slowly inching back up — most recently to 46 percent. For reflection on Bush’s eight years in office, take a look back at the six aspects of his presidency that harmed his popularity most — Iraq and its attendant controversies, the federal response to Hurricane Katrina, the so-called Bush-Cheney anti-terrorism protocols, the September 2008 financial meltdown, the chronic budget deficits, and the general impression that Bush was singularly inarticulate and prone to embarrassing gaffes.

Senator Feinstein's Constitutional End-run....

 There's more than a touch of hypocrisy in the recent exploitation of the Sandy Hook Elementary School tragedy by the MSM, Obama, and the Democrats. All the wanton murders due to Fast & Furious (estimated at 300 or more) do not appear equal to one life lost at Sandy Hook. The administration paid criminals to illegally arm drug cartels in Mexico, choosing to supply them with none other than "assault weapons", mostly AK-47's with some Barrett .50 caliber BMG rifles and a few hand grenades thrown in for good measure.

We already gave up on the Constitution.....

Two and a half cheers for Louis Michael Seidman, the Georgetown law professor whose “Let’s Give Up on the Constitution” was a dead fish wrapped in the New York Times op-ed page.

Seidman calls the Constitution “archaic, idiosyncratic and downright evil.” He’s wrong, but at least he expresses his contempt for the rule of law openly and honestly, instead of insulting our intelligence with insincere twaddle about a “living document.”

Ready to Face a Gunfight, Armed With a Slingshot? ......

 It is interesting to note that most people who want us to be unarmed in America, are either armed, have armed bodyguards, or work and live in environments surrounded by armed security.

Remember Senator, R.C. Soles, a democrat from North Carolina? Soles had a less than stellar record on gun rights issues yet, he actually SHOT an intruder in his home.

A Bad Year for Big Labor....

Early in 2012, labor unions began a major political offensive aimed at regaining political initiative after a number of high-profile setbacks in 2010 and 2011. Focusing their efforts in Michigan and Wisconsin, two Midwestern states with strong union bases, their costly efforts to roll back efforts to challenge their power ended up costing them, leaving them worse off than when the year started.

The Conservative Response to Outing Legal Gun Owners....

Funny, when the shoe is on the other foot.....

One person, a retired police officer, told American Thinker that the Journal News has put his family and himself in danger from the criminals he has arrested, because they now know where he lives. He wondered if the newspaper had even thought about the negative consequences.

Another person preferred to remain anonymous because of her profession. She classifies herself as a liberal Democrat except on the gun issue, where she referred to herself as a conservative. After finding out from a friend that her name had been published, she felt angry, intruded on, and invaded.

Death and Taxes....

“Are you still living? Or have the mob of Paris mistaken the head of a monopolizer of knowledge, for a monopolizer of corn, and paraded it about the streets upon a pole?” Franklin enquired, before going on to a brief mention of affairs on the other side of the Atlantic. “Our new Constitution is now established, everything seems to promise it will be durable; but, in this world, nothing is certain except death and taxes.”

Krauthammer: Cliff deal ‘surrender’ ......

“Look, there are a lot of conservatives in the Republican caucus in the House who hate the bill for good reason. This is a complete surrender on everything,” he said about the ratio of tax hike to spending cuts.

On Fox’s “Special Report,” Krauthammer offered his prediction on how House Republican leadership will proceed.

How Chicago and Obama Globalized Voter Fraud....

Chicago has a long tradition of padding its vote totals by placing homeless and deceased persons on its voter registration list. Jim Laski, who once served as the City Clerk of Chicago, second in power only to the mayor, noted in his book My Fall From Grace that fraudulent voters were registered to addresses that included cemeteries, municipal buildings, and taverns. The taverns, at least, are understandable: politically connected city workers spent so much time on bar stools the Board of Elections thought they lived there.

Professor Calls for Death Penalty for Climate Change 'Deniers'....

I'll give you my address....just try.....

 It is as inevitable as the rising of the sun; the Left, when thwarted in their quest for power, suggests the use of lethal force to compel those who disagree.

There is a nauseating litany of murders done by our betters in their pursuit of the Benthamite vision of "the greatest good for the most people" -- which in their minds equates to collectivization and socialism. You have Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Margaret Sanger, Mao Tse Tung, Pol Pot. Now we can add one more name to the list: Professor Richard Parncutt, Musicologist at Graz University in Austria.

This Prediction From the CBO Shows How Wrong They Were About The U.S.’ Economic Future

“Instead of publicly-held debt as a share of GDP being a microscopic 7.4% this year, it was closer to 74% – or 72.8% to be specific (as of the August update from the CBO),” Pethokoukis explains.

Yes, our national debt as a share of GDP is approximately 74 percent. This is absolutely unsustainable.

Oliver Stone to RT: ‘US has become an Orwellian state’....

Americans are living in an Orwellian state argue Academy Award-winning director Oliver Stone and historian Peter Kuznick, as they sit down with RT to discuss US foreign policy and the Obama administration’s disregard for the rule of law.

Both argue that Obama is a wolf in sheep’s clothing and that people have forgiven him a lot because of the “nightmare of the Bush presidency that preceded him.”

“He has taken all the Bush changes he basically put them into the establishment, he has codified them,” Stone told RT. “It is an Orwellian state. It might not be oppressive on the surface, but there is no place to hide. Some part of you is going to end up in the database somewhere.”

Air Force General blows whistle on Obama, but media deaf ....

Now imagine this were GWB's Administration....headlines by the MINUTE....

Republican lawmakers say that after Falcon's visit, the Obama White House allegedly tried to push through a Lightsquared's proposed wireless network regardless of the objections emanating from military commanders who believed the project could disrupt key U.S. satellite systems.

At a hearing on Thursday, lawmakers on strategic forces subcommittee, especially the Republican chairman, Michael Turner, requested that the House Oversight Committee investigate if Falcone's company garnered any type of special treatment from the White House or from Obama appointees.

California gun sales jump; gun injuries, deaths fall......

Once again - THEY - OUR FEARLESS LEADERS - ARE WRONG about gun control as is not working.....

Gun deaths and injuries have dropped sharply in California, even as the number of guns sold in the state has risen, according to new state data.

Dealers sold 600,000 guns in California last year, up from 350,000 in 2002, according to records of sale tallied by the California Attorney General's office.

America's pathway to decline.....

Mr. Obama won despite chronic high unemployment, rising inflation and skyrocketing deficits. Our national debt stands at more than $16 trillion. We are the most indebted nation in history. It is almost impossible to dig our way out of this massive financial hole. Even if the president gets everything he wants in tax increases on the wealthy, it will only pay for 11 days of the government’s annual spending. It is class warfare masquerading as serious public policy. His soak-the-rich rhetoric is nothing more than smoke and mirrors, casting the illusion that he knows — or even cares — how to solve the debt crisis.

Blacks Enslaving Themselves.....

In other words, is he a race traitor? Because that’s at the heart of Parker’s blatantly racist suspicion. Black Democrats – and Parker clearly is one because he obviously considers a black Republican to be a “cornball brother,” which is very derogatory slang – put enormous pressure on fellow blacks to be “down with the cause” or else be written off as “not one of us.” The threatening message to other blacks is: Define yourself by your skin color first and foremost. Don’t think for yourself. Keep racial grievances alive. Then we’ll get along just fine.

Team Obama still raising money--off Sandy Hook shootings.....

Why should this surprise ANYONE?

In email from chief campaign advisor David Axelrod that urges supporters to watch President Obama's moving address to the community of Newtown, Conn., there are two links that open a page with a video player featuring the president's speech and two donate buttons asking for $15-$1,000 for his campaign.

"The next chapter begins today. Stand with President Obama for the next four years," headlines the donation page.

Obama’s Fiscal Cliff Plan Still Not Balanced.....

Obama’s latest counteroffer is no more acceptable than his first offer. Short on details concerning actual spending reductions, especially on entitlements, it is replete with his requisite tax hikes and (we are shocked) new stimulus spending. The cherry on top is an extension of the debt limit for two years, essentially handing over authority to raise it to the President.

Right.

Gun industry recoils from horror.....

Teachers Unions destroy another company......How about Unions join hands and PUSH for Metal health changes???? The GUN did NOT kill those sweet children...Adam Lanza DID!

Both began to focus on the weapon that gunman Adam Lanza apparently used for most of his killing. It was a .223-caliber Bushmaster semiautomatic rifle, which traces its origin to the M-16 assault rifle designed for U.S. troops in Vietnam.

The company that manufactures Bushmaster rifles, Freedom Group Inc., had been funded and assembled by Cerberus. After the shootings, Cerberus came under pressure from one of its own major investors: the California State Teachers’ Retirement System.

Late Monday, Cerberus sided with the teachers. The firm announced Tuesday it will sell its stake in Freedom Group, the nation’s largest gun manufacturer.

Anti-Gun Lunatics Take Over the Asylum

He offers "Bread and Circus..." Well said...

Determined not to let the senseless murder of at least 20 young schoolchildren and six adults by a madman last Friday in Connecticut go to waste, the nation’s Demagogue-in-Chief is taking aim at the Second Amendment by urging a reinstatement of the useless federal Assault Weapons Ban.

Invincible Ignorance - Thomas Sowell

Always a voice of reason in the swirl of insanity....

The key fallacy of so-called gun control laws is that such laws do not in fact control guns. They simply disarm law-abiding citizens, while people bent on violence find firearms readily available.

If gun control zealots had any respect for facts, they would have discovered this long ago, because there have been too many factual studies over the years to leave any serious doubt about gun control laws being not merely futile but counterproductive.

President Obama’s Economically Destructive Tax-Hike Plan....

All this is is the "Left's" belief that once taxes are raised - everyone will pay at the "projected" rate - which, of course won't happen due to high money earner's doing whatever it is they have to do to protect what's theirs and less jobs and hours worked.....they haven't a clue.
This is entirely about divide and conquer - class warfare at it's worst. Envy and fear instead of leadership and hope....what a wonderful world....

Not only that, but the tax hike wouldn’t achieve its intended effect of increasing revenue by $160 billion per year. Instead, it would generate only about $68 billion per year.” This is due, the report notes, “to a smaller tax base commensurate with the smaller economy. For example, fewer hours worked and lower real wages result in less federal income and payroll tax receipts.”

Slouching Toward Dhimmitude......

FRANCE’S LATEST BOUT OF JIHAD JITTERS came in September when two small homemade bombs were thrown into a crowded Jewish grocery store in suburban Paris. The attack was largely symbolic—windows were broken, a few patrons injured—but it was yet another wake-up call to a country still in denial about the extent of the Islamist threat.

‘Fast and Furious’ Gun Found At Site Where Mexican Beauty Queen Killed .....

A gun found at the scene of a shootout between a Mexican drug cartel and soldiers where a beauty queen died was part of the botched “Fast and Furious” operation, CBS News reports.

Authorities had said that Maria Susana Flores Gamez was likely used as a human shield and that an automatic rifle had been found near her body after the Nov. 23 shootout.

Feds look other way as wind farms kill birds -- but haul oil and gas firms to court ......

Political correctness run amok....

Fast forward to last week. Following the deaths of a dozen migratory birds in Montana, Wyoming and Nebraska several years back, a Denver-based oil company was fined $22,500. The company was also ordered to make an additional $7,500 payment to the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation.

The disconnect demonstrates what critics call a blatant double standard that has to change. While the federal government aggressively pursues oil and gas companies for wildlife deaths, it often gives wind producers a pass.

Gun sales surge after Connecticut massacre.....

As Ted Nugent says...."If guns commit murder, then my guns are defective"....it's the person pulling the trigger. You cannot legislate against EVIL.... 


Critics however say these high-power weapons, capable of firing multiple rounds quickly, are too dangerous, since their high velocity rounds can pierce most body armor and
their magazines allow for mass shootings.

Yet, statistics show, unlike handguns or shotguns, rifles account for only a fraction of homicides in the United States. Of 12,664 murder victims last year, only 323 were killed with rifles, according to the FBI.

Why Is an Arkansas City Deploying Police With AR-15s to Demand Citizens Show I.D. on the Streets?.....

If WE don't stay vigilant - this can become the norm everywhere.....

“[Police are] going to be in SWAT gear and have AR-15s around their neck,” Stovall said. “If you’re out walking, we’re going to stop you, ask why you’re out walking, check for your ID.”

Stovall said while some people may be offended by the actions of his department, they should not be.

“We’re going to do it to everybody,” he said. “Criminals don’t like being talked to.”

[...]

“They may not be doing anything but walking their dog,” he said. “But they’re going to have to prove it.”

Michael Moore: Conn. School Shooting 'What We Are'

President Ronald Reagan once looked out at America and called it, "a shining city on a hill."

Far-left filmmaker Michael Moore's take on his homeland in the wake of Friday's elementary school shooting in Connecticut? It's who we are, plain and simple.

“I hate to say it, but killing is our way. We began America w/ genocide, then built it w/ slaves. The shootings will continue-it's who we are,” Moore tweeted on Sunday.

America, don’t repeat Australia’s gun control mistake......

 To concerned Victorians, too, it felt like our criminal class was running the state. The problem though (in Australia at least) is that campaigning newspapers and television networks are never wrong — no matter how many people are killed or threatened by guns, there’s always a “complex” excuse.

Dem senators attack colleague, Hawaii Sen. Daniel Inouye.....

Gutless...typical...well, no worries...he's dead....

An anonymous Democratic senator attacked Hawaii Sen. Daniel Inouye in an interview with the Hill Friday, claiming that the 88-year old Inouye, who is currently hospitalized with respiratory complications, is an ineffective committee leader and has stayed in the Senate for “too long.

Houston Dem Precinct Chair: Stop Gun Violence by Shooting NRA Members.........

I try not to name call, but this made me nuts....
OK you MORON...who you gonna "shoot"...
she's a Jr. NRA member......
You IDIOT...
She is because she's being taught proper gun usage. 
She is because she spends time with her Dad hunting. 
She is because she's American and it's her choice..as are some of her friends.
Who are you going to "shoot" NOW you absolutely vacuous supercilious ASS!

Over the weekend, Houston Democrat Precinct Chair John Cobarruvias tweeted, "Can we now shoot the #NRA and everyone who defends them?"

This, apparently, is part of what he calls "hard-hitting political commentary" on his blog "Bay Area Houston."

Sources Say DOD Inspector General Report Criticizes Vickers in Discussions with Filmmakers - ABC News

They think this is all some kind of game...some all encompassing 24 hour campaign....

 Specifically, Vickers is said to have disclosed to the filmmakers the identity of a member of SEAL Team Six — though not a member of the team that conducted the raid on Osama bin Laden‘s compound. Names of members of that team are not to be disclosed because of the potential for violent retaliation.

MSNBC’s Ed Schultz Talks Gun ‘Confiscation’ .....

I'd say before they take OUR guns away - we need a little "clarity" about "Fast & Furious"...?

Liberals always say they don’t want to take away guns. But give them an awful tragedy like the Newtown, Conn. shooting and they get bolder and more honest. MSNBC host Ed Schultz showed a rare bout of such honesty during a brief Twitter exchange Saturday. Schultz asked “Why should anyone own an assault rifle ?” and followed it up by saying “it's the confiscation of these types of weapons that counts and will have an impact.”

“The Ed Show” host wasn’t done his attack on gun rights. “The NRA needs to state the case why assault weapons are needed by anyone,” he claimed. And after that, he told one poster that “a Glock pistol qualifies as an assault weapon.” That last bit is surely a surprise to both gun owners and Congress which didn’t include handguns in its previous assault weapons ban.

Ultimately, Schultz talked of changing the Constitution to one person on Twitter. “We are the Constitution and we as a people can change whatever we want. Get ready Dude !” he wrote.

Bath School disaster .....

Shows when someone is determined....no amount of political correctness, pontificating or laws will stop them....

The Bath School disaster is the name given to three bombings in Bath Township, Michigan, on May 18, 1927, which killed 38 elementary school children, two teachers, and four other adults; at least 58 people were injured. The perpetrator died of suicide in one of the explosions as well. Most of the victims were children in the second to sixth grades (7–14 years of age[1]) attending the Bath Consolidated School. Their deaths constitute the deadliest mass murder in a school in United States history.

The bomber was the school board treasurer Andrew Kehoe, 55, who had opposed construction of the consolidated school in the early 1920s as it required increased property taxes. His wife was ill with tuberculosis and he was financially stressed, as he had stopped making mortgage payments and was under pressure for foreclosure. For a year, he carried out steps in a plan to destroy the school by explosives.

Some time between May 16 and the morning of May 18, Kehoe murdered his wife by beating her to death. On the morning of May 18 about 8:45, Kehoe exploded incendiary devices in his farm buildings and house, setting them on fire.

Sarah Palin tweets inspirational Newtown message; knee-jerk haters hate......

It may seem, especially after Friday, the world is spinning fast and furious and out of control. Many political, economic, and societal problems attempt to weigh down our spirit so heavily that some despondently give up after being deceptively led to believe there is no real hope for anything getting better. And despite 24-hour news cycles with constant information flooding our eyes and ears with much white noise, TV’s talking heads really have nothing meaningful to offer.

The Second Amendment Is Not Negotiable.....

The right to own a firearm was considered by both the Framers of the Constitution in 1787 and by the current Supreme Court to be equal in importance to the right to speak freely, the right to peaceably assemble and the right to practice religion. These liberties are guaranteed to each of us by the first two amendments to the Constitution in the Bill of Rights.

Attorney General Secretly Granted Gov. Ability to Develop and Store Dossiers on Innocent Americans .....

Earlier this year, Attorney General Eric Holder granted the center the ability to copy entire government databases holding information on flight records, casino-employee lists, the names of Americans hosting foreign-exchange students and other data, and to store it for up to five years, even without suspicion that someone in the database has committed a crime, according to the Wall Street Journal, which broke the story.

Chaffetz: State Dept Hiding Benghazi Survivors.....

Can you imagine what would happen if this were done under a Republican.....instead we hear NOTHING about this.......my head just exploded for about the 90th time this week...........

Congressman Jason Chaffetz (R- UT) told Breitbart News on Wednesday that he has been “thwarted” by the State Department from seeing any Americans who survived the deadly attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi. Many people forget that there were Americans who survived the Benghazi attack, some of whom were badly injured and are still recovering.

Tax rich liberals......

 I note that rich liberals — who somehow manage to avoid paying high taxes themselves — are always wildly enthusiastic about raising taxes on the middle class to keep the strivers down.

Forget the top 2 percent. The top 1 percent of the top 1 percent keep voting for higher taxes — and then take advantage of indefensible tax loopholes and deductions. Get them.

Let’s have a class warfare bloodbath.

Gun Control, People Control and Thought Control.....

The gun control debate, like all debates with the left, is reducible to the question of whether we are individuals who make our own decisions or a great squishy social mass that helplessly responds to stimuli. Do people kill with guns or does the availability of guns kill people? Do bad eating habits kill people or does the availability of junk food kill people?

‘Union Thugs’ Destroy Hot Dog Stand of Alleged Romney Supporter During Protest and Taunt Him With Racial Slurs.....

Funny how the Civility Train only goes one way - their way...agree or "There will be Blood".....

Some of Tarver’s equipment used for his business were collateral damage in the protests. He recounted to the State Journal that he was trying to salvage some of it, but a friend of his told him “you gotta get out of here.”

“So, I crawled out of the tent as they cut it. My tables were being spilled and stepped on. It was all just destroyed. I just couldn’t believe what I was hearing and seeing,” Tarver said, according to the Lansing State Journal.

How Much Taxation Would Fund Current Spending?

For example, what would a 100% income tax on all those who earn over $10 million amount to? I'm not taking about a wimpy marginal rate, where one might tax only those dollars of income over $10 million (leaving the taxpayer $10 million). No, I'm saying you find all those who made more than $10 million and take every last penny -- an absolute tax of 100%.

Using 2009 data, the IRS says that 8,274 tax returns were filed with incomes over $10 million. The total amount of income on those returns was $240.1 billion.

Our federal government alone is spending more than $10 billion a day. Thus, a 100% confiscation of all income of those making more than $10 million would amount to less than 24 days of federal spending.

Embrace the Suck.....

This is why his first offer at the negotiations was $1.6 trillion in tax increases -- double the position he campaigned on less than a month before -- plus an actual increase in spending of $50 billion as another 'mini' stimulus -- because stimulus worked so well before.

And what about his "balanced" approach of including cuts in spending? Well...maybe, but cuts would only be discussed later -- if he's not too busy being the greatest man to have ever lived.

"There Will Be Blood": Union Violence in the Age of Obama......

On the floor of the Michigan legislature on Tuesday, Democratic state Rep. Douglas Geiss thundered: "We're going to pass something that will undo 100 years of labor relations, and there will be blood. There will be repercussions!" Geiss referenced the Battle of the Overpass, a violent 1937 incident between the United Auto Workers and corporate security officers for the Ford Motor Company. Dozens of union activists were beaten.

But Geiss wasn't crying victim. This was clearly a signal to the brass-knuckled Big Labor bosses, whom Obama egged on during his Monday visit to the state. Obama inveighed against right to work with his usual class warfare dog-whistle. The thugs heard it loud and clear.

18 Democratic senators buck Harry Reid on Obamacare tax.....



Still a few out there with some common sense.....

 “The medical technology industry directly employs over 400,000 people in the United States and is responsible for a total of two million high-skilled manufacturing jobs. … With this year quickly drawing to a close, the medical device industry has received little guidance about how to comply with the tax — causing significant uncertainty and confusion for businesses,” according to the letter. “We urge you to support delaying enactment of this provision in a fiscally responsible manner.”

Democrat employs registered sex offender - illegal, & Homeland doesn't do anything until AFTER election...

 This is what happens when the President becomes a King....

Sen. Robert Menendez employed as an unpaid intern in his Senate office an illegal immigrant who was a registered sex offender, now under arrest by immigration authorities, The Associated Press has learned. The Homeland Security Department instructed federal agents not to arrest him until after Election Day, a U.S. official involved in the case told the AP.

Chuck Norris: Obamacare Jiujitsu .....

Last week, I shared with you that while Republicans’ power to repeal Obamacare has been thwarted by the president’s re-election, all is not lost. Conservatives can still suffocate the federal monstrosity by supporting individual-to-state efforts to impede its funding and implementation.
