The Mother of All Articles

Today, on "Mother Jones", Michael Reynolds penned the mother of all hypocrisy.  The title of the liberal brilliance is "Should Obama Reveal his Inner Pissed-Off President".

The whiney/crying of the subject matter goes to show how the Liberals are handling the loss of absolute power when they lost the House in 2010.  Of course this loss is now causing all of them to go bonkers because they have not been able to finish force feeding their Obamacare meal to us in the timeline they are accustomed.

The opening salvo is a trite run on sentence but has everything rolled into it.  From Radical Conservatives, to world ending doom:

"Once again, a rump group of Republican radicals in the House are throwing the US government into chaos, threatening a shutdown of federal agencies (unless Obama agrees to smother Obamacare in the crib) that could harm the economy and setting up another showdown over the debt ceiling that could cause a financial crisis that stretches from the United States to markets around the world."

First of all Michael, can I call you Michael, the House Republicans are not threatening to shut the Government down, Harry and Barack are.  The CR that left the House had the Government funding attached.  Michael, you seem to think it's the Republicans fault.  How's that?

Next, you lament that Barack has not been forceful enough against these rogue conservatives.  You wish for him to bring a gun to a knife fight, don't you.  The next blurb shows this -- "On Friday, he decried House GOP "grandstanding," noting that "House Republicans will have to decide whether to join the Senate and keep the government open, or shut it down just because they can’t get their way on an issue that has nothing to do with the deficit." And he criticized GOPers for playing politics with the full faith and credit of the US government: "do not threaten to burn the house down simply because you haven’t gotten 100 percent of your way. " Yet Obama has still not turned up the rhetoric full-blast, and this is a situation when he would be justified in amping up to an 11."

OK, let me educate you a bit.  Obamacare has everything to do with our deficit.  You lost that argument a long time ago.  As far as the threat to burn the house down if you don't get 100% thingy I think it applies more so to Obama and his baby, as Chris Mathews said on MSMBC by way of analogy.  But hey, I notice you also plagiarized Mr. Tingle yourself with "(unless Obama agrees to smother Obamacare in the crib)" which should be easy for you and your type supporting late term abortions. 

But first, more lamenting -- "Let's review for a moment. The House Republicans—led more these days by freshman Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) than Speaker John Boehner—keep screaming that the American people have demanded that they block Obamacare. But what's the evidence of that? Last year, the presidential candidate who called for repealing Obamacare, received 59.1 million votes; the fellow who owned Obamacare earned 62.6 million votes. And House Democratic candidates together won over a million more votes than GOP House candidates. (It's partially because of gerrymandering that this lopsided vote count resulted in Republican control of the House.) So however you slice it, the last time this nation voted, more people voted for the party of Obamacare. Yet because the GOPers control a little more than one half of one body of Congress (or, put it this way, a bit more than one-half of one-third of the legislative-executive branches of the government), their extremists believe they are entitled to take hostages to eviscerate a law that was previously passed by Congress, signed by the president, and okayed by a conservative-led Supreme Court."

Phew, that is one heck of a rant.  OK, let's dissect a little.  Cruz Control.  The reason Ted (Bundy Obama killing madman) Cruz has held sway over the feckless Boehner and the old time GOP'ers the likes of McConnel and McCain is because, well, he has the backing of those very constituents you seem to get lost on.  You point to a failed GOP nominee for President, who I may add was the George Washington of Government run healthcare, as popularity for Obamacare.  If you stretch any further you may hurt something.  Next, you speak of House Democrats receiving more votes than Republicans in the 2010 mid-terms when it is obvious these votes come from heavy populated Democratic enclaves.  Nice try.  You end with a watered down version of a force feeding a law upon a populace that does not, nor never did, want this monstrosity. 

OK, next -- "But right now there are two clashing views of reality in the political cosmos: one is being pushed by a ready-to-blow-up-the-building minority; the other is accepted by….everyone else. Yet in many pockets of our current media environment, both views are granted equal currency. There are few referees who can call fouls and say, House Republicans you are out of line and this is outrageous—if you want to continue your never-ending crusade against Obamacare (like those Japanese soldiers stranded on Pacific islands who kept fighting World War II years after the emperor surrendered), then you have to do so with reasonable means (say, votes on specific repeal legislation) and without wrecking the government and the economy."

OK, I thought you Liberal intellectuals were suppose to embrace "the minority"?  To say that the opposing view (yours) is the one accepted by everyone else is laughable.  How else do you explain the traction Cruz has in his obstruction efforts, when, in your own words the Republicans only "one-half of one-third of the legislative-executive branches of the government"?  You have every MSM referee crying foul, just look at this diatribe you call an opinion piece.  For your information, the House has voted, I believe on 17 different occasions, to repeal Obamacare without the threat of "wrecking the economy".

Next, this is good because there is a modicum of truth to it -- "No longer are there media figures such as Edward Murrow or Walter Cronkite who can call out official chicanery and lies and change the course of public events. These days—for good or bad—there are fewer megaphones, and most are smaller. But there is one person who still commands a fair bit of attention: the president of the United States. If he pumped up the volume, it might be noticed."

This is because of the alternative and truthfully balanced media that has replaced the dinosaur media that had no opposing views.  OK!  The next screed also has a modicum of truth to it, but by mentioning it you blow apart your whole argument of the popularity of Obamacrare -- "The public does take cues from its leaders. Certainly, the steady drumbeat of Obamacare trash-talk from Republicans and conservatives—which has far surpassed words of praise from its proponents—has affected public attitudes toward the health care law. The White House has not continuously campaigned for the law, promoting its benefits. (The president has a job to do beyond selling what he has already enacted.) But the law's lackluster standing in opinion surveys has encouraged Republican extremists to adopt their repeal-or-shutdown stance."

The truth is their is a steady drumbeat against the law.  The reason these drumbeats have "far surpassed words of praise" is because there is nothing to like about it as polls have continuously shown and is the real impetus for Cruz's popularity much to your chagrin.  The law is truly lackluster and contrary to your statement that Obama has failed to promote his baby the fact of the matter is there is nothing beyond "selling" snake oil for him to do.






Teaching Mr. Tingle

You remember Mr. Tingle.  The MSMBC Anchor (of the Progressive MSM ship of state) Chris Mathews is lamenting over the Obamacare kerfuffle by attempting to utilize a host of metaphors to make his point against killing the Law.

He likens the law to a baby being kidnapped and killed but he is specific to point out that this particular baby is Obama's (father).  Well he got the parent correct.  So, let us respond to his metaphor with another.  Instead -- "Conservatives are like cops storming a kidnappers hideout to free America's (mother) baby (the Constitution) and once saved we utilize our "pro choice" rights as defined by the Supreme Court (Roe v. Wade) and take Obama's unwanted law (his baby) to planned parenthood for a late term abortion. 

Got it, Mr. Tingle?

Full faith and trust

What does it tell you when the latest Rasmussen poll found that 53% of Americans believe that the IRS broke the law when they targets tea party organizations intentionally?

They do not trust the government?  That Obama's Administration has a PR problem?

In the same poll, 74% of Americans believe that the perpetrators at the IRS will be protected from prosecution.  What does that tell you of full faith and trust of the US Government. 

Succinct Quote

Matt Barber just penned a piece at World Net Daily (one of my favorite sources for Conservative truth) where he opened with the following observation:

"With his inspirational and unprecedented show of leadership on the floor of the U.S. Senate this past week, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, made hundreds of enemies in Washington.
But more importantly, he made millions of friends across America."

Today on CBS Face the Nation - Bob Schieffer continues to put forth the false narrative that Obamacare is truly wanted by the majority of Americans.  Lie.....

His panel of guests were Rep. Blackburn and Van Hollen.  Rep. Blackburn toed the Democrat party lie that to "delay Obamacare is to deny millions of Americans affordable care on October 1".

With the unrelenting and withering criticism that Cruz has endured from all quarters except the American public about being an "obstructionist and a hijacker" it is curious that they continue to deny what reality really is.  That reality is Cruz, acting on behest of the majority of Americans, is successful because he has the popular support of the public.  Think about that power.  The power of the majority of Americans are screaming at the MSM, GOP, Democrats and Obama through polls, calls and demonstrations to end this thing called Obamacare.

When Rep. Blackburn went on Face the Nation and said delaying Obamacare is to deny millions of Americans affordable heath care everyone listening knows it is a lie.  There is zero credibility for this Administration as well as the Democrats and those in the MSM and GOP to continue that farce when time and time again the reality of the cost of healthcare is quadrupling or more.  We were told not to worry, we can keep our existing healthcare.  Proven to be another lie.  We were told we can keep our doctor.  Proven to be a lie.  We were told the "Affordable Healthcare Law" would not increase the deficit or affect Medicare.  Proven to be a lie. 

The pathological lying is so transparent it is pitiful.  We know we are consistently lied to about Obamacare.  They know we know they are lying about Obamacare.  Yet they continue to lie thinking at some point they will get a different result.

The American public is reaching a tipping point when we believe that those who have been elected do not even care what we think or feel about their travesties and trespasses against us.  The most maddening thing about the whole affair is that the GOP has popular public support to repeal this law by defunding it yet they, like the MSM and Democrats are marching to an alternative reality of self destructiveness. 

Ted Cruz, Mike Lee and the other tea party backed freshmen legislators who have succeeded in keeping Obamacare from truly taking hold are doing so because those who deny their power do so with the full knowledge that they are wrong.  They want Obamacare to pass in order to solidify the absolute control over each of us as well as 1/6th of the American economy.  We will not be led to the slaughterhouse like sheep.  The minority of obstructionist is obviously just enough, for now, to keep the wolves at bay and hopefully the mid-terms come before implementation.  Then those who advocate for controlling the masses at all cost will be thrown out on their collectivist asses.

This Administration needs to be neutralized politically and legally until such time that the true damage can be assessed.  In order for this to occur the Eric Holders and apparchiks who have infiltrated all levels of government can be also thrown out with the garbage.  Then and only then will we know just how deep the legal anarchy they have created, goes.  It is time for another McCarthy era.  McCarthy, as history proved, was correct all along.  So are we when we know that laws, rights and money have been pilfered, stolen, misdirected, misappropriated in order to redistribute it.  Not to those who are on that ladder behind us, but to cronies and corruptacrats who need to go to jail.





We deserve to default

So the Democrats and Republicans in the House and Senate are worried that the Government is going to shut down and worse -- lose it's credit rating as a result.

I go a bit of news for them, it deserves to default and by extension deserves to lose its credit rating.

This Government has become so unruly and undisciplined that it can aptly described as "spending like a drunk sailor"; "living beyond it's means"; "writing checks on a closed account" or a hundred other analogies.  We Americans do not have the luxury of printing money but this Government does.  This Government actually grows money on trees.  While Ted Cruz sits up there on Capital Hill and fights for sanity of Conservative traditional values like repealing a massive Government spending law that can only do one thing, over time -- implode upon itself from the sheer size of its own weight.

How long has it been since the US Senate, when under Democrat control, failed to live up to the Constitutional mandated law to pass a budget?  The very act of this law breaking has caused this country to devolve into lawless anarchy.  In order to rectify our financial woes from out of control spending our feckless leaders have legislated this oxymoronic "Continuing Resolution" stopgap.  The name of the CR is in itself a contraction of terms because a resolution does not continue. 

The leaders who have been branded as obstructionist are actually doing us a favor by actually obstructing the larger body politik from continuing its madness.  When we, as little people, write bad checks it affects our credit rating.  When we write bad checks that are so large that it becomes criminal, we go to jail.  It's time for those who have perpetuated this grand oxymoronic scheme to enjoy "three hots and a cot" and the loss of the people check books, for good.

It's Tea Party time

A new CBS/NYT poll shows a rapid increase in respondents that align themselves with the movement.  Of course the MSM is either burying the story or outright lying that it is dying.  The 2014 midterms are quickly approaching and this supporter believes that there will be a monumental shift that will make the 2010 sweeps look like a dust buster.

Tea Anyone....

King of Disgust, part II

Yesterday, I posted "the King of Disgust" when Rep. Peter King told reporters --

 "He thinks and states openly that those who follow Cruz are, er, following a false leader.  While King says the majority of Cruz followers are good people, they are a "dark strain in the American political psyche" who support the Constitution."

Yesterday, I only lumped him in with other RINO's that do not agree with Cruz.  Today, I think the real reason was to attempt to diminish Cruz's star power.  The reason that King went to these extraordinary measures to trash Cruz and those who agree with him is because King wants to be "King".  Translated -- President.  In fact, he is the first GOP member to do so.  On September 8th.  If true, the level of disgust for King, with me, is beyond the pale.  It means that King, for personal political reasons trashed Cruz's stance against Obamacare and his tea party roots.  There are no words to describe such a vile and contemptible individual.

Rion Paige - Superstar

She is adorable and talented.

King of Disgust

Rep. Peter King has some unkind words for the callers who have voiced support for the Constitution (limited government, holding elected leaders accountable to constituents, reign in excessive spending, taxation without representation, etc).  He thinks and states openly that those who follow Cruz are, er, following a false leader.  While King say's the majority of Cruz followers are good people, they are a "dark strain in the American political psyche" who support the Constitution.

What's in a name?

Ted Cruz has grabbed "control" of the media narrative with his filibuster of Obamacare vote in the Senate over night.  The Main Stream Media and a whole host of establishment Republicans do not like the fresh face and motor mouth of conservative values.  Well, of course, we can add every liberal and democrat to that group.  But combined, the opposition to Cruz is by any means, a minority.

His name alone provides catchy bi-lines for journalists.  We have seen "Cruz Control"; Cruz'n to Victory and my favorite "Cruz Missile" - Armed, Activated and streaking straight at the Problem.

It's no wonder that establishment GOP'er's hate him.  He has called them "a bunch of squishes" on gun control.  Such language, tsk tsk.  The hateful rhetoric coming at him from all those in the minority are bordering on deranged, personal and disgusting yet he resists from lowering himself to their standard.

The "American Prospect" aptly states -- That, in a nutshell, is Ted Cruz’s political career: through some combination of luck, bravado, and talent, the man always seems to wind up getting what he wants.

This was in response to James Carville who boldly stated -- He was one of main points of discussion on Sunday talk shows, and James Carville raved that he was “the most talented and fearless Republican politician” in the last 30 years.

The truth of the matter is the reason Cruz is "getting what he wants" and bringing so much ire to establishment Republicans and democrats is because he is in line with average Americans who do not want Obamacare, gun control and just about anything Obama.  He is the last line of defense in our honor.  We love him for it.

It's official we're all terrorists

Remember when the DHS sent out law enforcement bulletins describing citizens who believe in smaller government, oppose Obamacare, support the constitution as potential homegrown terrorist extremist. 

In March 2013, the Pew Research center conducted a poll about trust in the US Government.  It found that 3/4 of those responded distrust the US Government.  That is roughly 7 in 10 Americans.

Yesterday, we saw a new Gallup poll asking if the US Government has too much power.  6 in 10 respondents said -- YES. 

Couple this with Congressional favor ability polling which put their popularity below Colonoscopies and Root Canals.

Obamacare, or the support for it, has fallen to below a 40% favor ability rating.  Once again 6 in 10 Americans want no part of it.

Of course Obama makes everything about him as he came out in a speech and bemoaned that the "Republicans are trying to mess with me" over the stripping of Obamacare from the CR. 

Obama's approval rating is down to 45%.

Well, I guess we're all extremist terrorists in the eyes of our Federal Government now.

IRS Scandal goes quietly into the shadows

One of the "Conservative Agencies" that the IRS targeted in order to suppress the 2012 elections was quietly given a victory yesterday when the Dept. of Justice told the Judge the IRS would issue the 501(c)(3) status it has sought for over three years.  Of course the damage has already been done to its ability to advocate politically, like so many others, during the last election.

True the Vote is the nations leading voting rights advocates so you can see they were not small fish that was silenced.  The Dept of Justice issued their press release and asked the Judge to dismiss the case as a result.  The Obama Administration believes that the case is now moot as a result of their magnanimous decision to allow the IRS non-profit status.

True the Vote disagrees

"Cleta Mitchell, lead counsel in the litigation, and a partner at Foley & Lardner, LLP in Washington, DC, responded to the DOJ filings by noting, “While we are glad the IRS has realized TTV’s tax exempt status should be granted and is now moving to rectify its failure to do sooner, this case is far from moot. There are still many questions to be answered, such as:

* When is the IRS going to actually issue its letter granting tax exempt status to True the Vote?
* What about the costs and damages incurred by True the Vote for the past three years while the IRS unlawfully delayed issuing the letter of recognition?
* What about all of the confidential and proprietary information sought and demanded from True the Vote that the Treasury Inspector General has stated was not necessary for determining True the Vote’s eligibility for exempt status, and which is now apparently going to be made public?
* What about the violation of True the Vote’s constitutional rights by the IRS and its agents and employees during the course of these last 3 years?
“This lawsuit is about getting to the truth and we are not going to stop until we find out the answers to these and many other questions,” added Ms. Mitchell."

Meanwhile, back at the ranch......

Lois Lerner has quietly retired and is no long drawing a tax payer funded paycheck.

Why the left want our guns!

You need look no further than someone they admired most -- Mao Tse-tung

“Every Communist must grasp the truth, “Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.” “Our principle is that the Party commands the gun, and the gun must never be allowed to command the Party.”

Naming US Warships after pacifics

We learned that a new US Attack submarine is rolling off the line soon bearing the name USS Jimmy Carter.  Fearsome, huh.....

Now, this picture comes to us from Powerline blog:

Cruz Control

Can someone tell me why the Democrats are complaining that the minority radicals in the House of Representatives have hijacked it?  In the House yesterday it voted to agree to keep funding the US Government through the "continuing resolution" and stripped Obamacare funding from it.  The vote was almost along party lines with two democrats crossing the line to vote with the Republicans.  Two.  The two Democrats were Mike McIntyre, NC and Jim Matheson, UT.  In spite of the defections, it would not have made a difference in the passage.

So, now we have the MSM beating the dire straits drums and positioning the blame for shutdown on the Republican shoulders.  I find it maddening that the reason we are in the position of funding is entirely on the Senate Democrat shoulders.  They have failed, by breaking Federal law, to pass a budget according to our Constitution.  But, hey, we know how they feel about that tired old document anyway. 

I also find it maddening that some GOP politicos are fretting, sweating and regretting having to vote Obamacare down in the first place.  Why?  They seem to think it is unpopular to do so?  The plurality of the electorate in the US has, from the first day the law was rammed down our throats, never wanted it.  To this day those in opposition to its implementation have only grown in spite of the massive propaganda the MSM has utilized to sway us to like it.  The President has used his office and his resources to travel around the country to try to sell this snake oil since it passed and our minds still haven't changed about it.  The majority want it dead.

So, how is it that the GOP thinks that they are taking a risk when all they are doing is what the majority of us want anyway?  The old guard want it, that's why.  Most Americans have been on pins and needles believing that the GOP would cave and funding for this unpopular law would finally be implemented.  If not for the brave 24 conservatives standing in the way.  Those 24 tea party types knew what their constituents wanted and remained true to their election pledges to throw that garbage legislation, er, in the garbage.  Those 24 knew that the majority of Americans who were not responsible for their election victories also want what they promised.  This is how the 24 stood and ultimately won against all odds.  Against their own party (or RINO).  If the Democrats think that setting up this CR showdown is going to get the House back in 2014 they are delusional.  If they think we the people are so stupid that we don't recognize who is the danger they will once again be shocked, as they were in 2010 and in the Colorado recalls.

A Ted Cruz aid, Amanda Carpenter,  tweeted the following message:

"GOP beat gun control, changed Obama's mind on Syria, is holding the line on amnesty. We can defund Obamacare, too!"

The Communication Chair, Allan Brauer,  for the Democrat Party in Sacramento commented:

"May your children all die from debilitating, painful and incurable diseases."

Mr. Brauer wasn't finished, he went on to post --

"Busy blocking the tapeworms that have slithered out of hellspawn @amandacarpenter's asshole. How's your day so far?"

and

"I'm being attacked on Twitter for wishing one of Ted Cruz's pubic lice to experience the pain her boss is inflicting on Americans."

The Democrat Party of Sacramento did not waste any time (same day as the rants appeared on twitter) to ask for and accept Mr. Brauer's resignation.  I was ready to pull out the Nanci Pelosi "Hateful speech leads to violence" article but the Democrats actually did the right thing here and canned his butt.  Free speech is guaranteed in this country, but with free speech there should be consequences to this hateful and venomous spew.  Kudos Democrats.....

The Bad Piper

Just came to my attention.....I was talking with my sister who just visited my site here for the very first time and she commented on the "Amazing Grace" posted video here and the "lone piper" portion of the song.  She indicated if I liked bagpipe music then I would enjoy "The BadPiper".  Guess what, I did.  Enjoy.....

Gunman used Biden suggested weapon

The gun grabbers have their panties in a wad and true to form started their whining immediately.  We of course heard from Dianne Feinstein immediately.  This tragedy, as the details are unfolding, do not seem to fit the narrative, again.

Aaron Alexis is shown on security arriving on base.  He had only a shotgun when he started.  According to the FBI the shotgun was purchased legally and then illegally transported into DC.  I think this is as good a place to start as any.  First, we now know that this punk had mental health issues.  His family has said that there were warning signs.  You think?  The two run ins with the law previous to the mass shooting had this guy shooting out the tires of an unarmed vehicle.  The police report for this incident was found to be anger at some construction workers near his home.  The family did say he had anger management issues.  Next, he was questioned for discharging his pistol into his ceiling of his apartment that travelled through the apartment upstairs and out its ceiling just feet away from the neighbor.  We learn now that he and this particular neighbor had run ins because Alexis didn't like the noise she was making.  The police report said it was an accidental discharge, but looking in hindsight today I tend to think that he had another of those anger management issues.  The big question is how this guy, with two firearm related incidents prior to purchasing this shotgun legally, was able to pass the FBI background check.

We had learned early on from press coverage that Alexis was armed with an AR-15 rifle, handguns and his shotgun.  We now know that he obtained his weapons (other than the one he brought onto the base) from an unlocked, open firearms safe in the building.  We also learned that the report that he had an AR-15 was incorrect.  No AR-15.  So, we have a deranged individual bringing a Biden suggested weapon onto a military base and proceeded with some "workplace violence".

The gun grabbers did not get an ideal profile from this shooter as he is black, Hindu and started his rampage with the easiest to obtain weapon on the open market.  He wasn't White, Christian and armed to the teeth with automatic weapons.  He was operating in one of the most gun restricted zones in this country, Washington DC.  The base he hit was also a "gun free zone" which makes this a rampage in a "gun free zone, within a gun free zone".  Instead of debating how the mental health system failed us we will get Piers Morgan, Dianne Feinstein, Gabby Giffords and probably Al Sharpton and company because he is black.

The elites are nervous!

There is a way to read between the lines when true conservatives look for those bell weather moments that the regular MSM reports the news in the slanted kind of way.  In a way you have to really train yourself to find nuggets of truth in a field of lies.  Take for instance the interview that Obama allowed this past weekend to one of his compliant media allies, George Stephanopoulis at This week with George Stephanopoulos.  Obama blatantly lies when he tells George 80-90% of Americans agree Gun Control.  Tell that to the Democrat controlled Senate.  I realize that Democrats do not share, nor care about their constituents but when the country, as Obama indicates, wants gun control and the Senate has the chance to push through anything they want then why would they go against their constituents on gun control?  The answer == reality, truth!  Maybe that huge bloc of anti-gun Americans didn't get the message in Colorado. 

The House of Representatives has a battle waging presently.  It isn't Republicans vs. Democrats -- It's Conservatives vs. Republicans.  More aptly, and between the lines, it should be Conservatives vs. Democrat Republicans.  There has been much ado made about this internal battle being waged to wrest control away from liberal Republicans and give it back to the true Conservatives and tea party types.  When Harry Reid indicated to his MSM buddies that he feels sorry for John Boehner you know liberal Republicans are on the ropes and by extension so are liberal Democrats. 

What I am talking about is those pesky astro-turf, dangerous (according to Homeland Security) terrorist who want to drag us back to Jim Crow, Tea Party people.  You remember them.  The ones that clean up after their massive rallies that go unreported by the MSM.  The same ones that the Democrats say are wholly made up by the Koch Brothers, bought and paid for.  You know, Grandma and Grandpa extremists.

Well the cat is out of the bag and the Liberals are howling at the moon because they don't seem to have the answer to stopping their momentum (that purportedly doesn't exist).  You see the seething anger every time that Brit speaks on Piers Morgan (CNN) about Gun Control.  Many a conservative guest on his show has made him out to be the fool he is during interviews.  Yet he keeps on a coming.  Then you have the NY Times and their token Conservative David Brooks.  Every now and then liberals lose their composure and their talking points get jumbled up because it is so difficult to keep track of the lies and deceptions.  I will embed that "panel" discussion below.  Here you do not need to read between any lines because he aptly explains what a Congressman should be doing.  This is what Congressmen always do.  Except those non-existent Tea Party terrorists.  Must watch it:  The link on youtube doesn't allow me to link directly.  So go to this link and click on the "video" link in the first sentence of the article.

The American Thinker article points out:

"David Brooks (the Gray Lady's idea of a housebroken conservative) laments, to PBS's Judy Woodruff that Republican legislators like Ted Cruz aren't "normal members. . . going to Congress to create coalitions, make alliances and . . . pass a lot of legislation" while interesting themselves in "the perks . . . the leadership has to offer." Indeed, Brooks asserts, "They're not [real] legislators" at all -- just obstructionists "who want to stop things."

All of which conversely implies Brooks believes real legislators are ones who go to Congress only because they can pass lots of legislation, create coalitions, make alliances, interest themselves in the perks the leadership has to offer, avoid obstructionism, and fail to stop anything."

"The Tea Party types," says Brooks, are "running against the Republican establishment[,] . . . having a very obstructive role, and making John Boehner's life even more difficult." Indeed, Brooks moans, they have no real policy goals at all and "Their [only] object is to take over the Republican Party."
 
The bottom line is this.  There is a ware being waged for the heart and soul of the Conservative party that used to be the GOP/RNC.  It is waged so a "Third Party" doesn't have to be created.  It is being waged because the GOP/Republicans used to stand for the principles that the Tea Party and quite frankly most Americans want in that party.  Here's hoping "Cruz ism" succeeds.

Did the RNC & GOP take notes?

As many of my readers know from the various posts of mine regarding the historic recall elections in the Great State of Colorado, we won.....

After many months of standing on the sidelines observing the effort and fighting amongst themselves, the Colorado Republic National Committee quickly boasted "we won"!  The National GOP is in for a rude awakening also.  The GOP, led by John Boehner, have great disdain for the true conservatives that have taken many seats in the House.  After the landslide victories brought forth by Tea Party aligned conservatives the ruling "old timers" in the GOP did the same thing, they took credit for the work, but did not lift a finger.  To make matters worse, the GOP seems to dislike the Tea Party Conservatives as much as Harry Reid and the Democrats do.  Congress is at war with conservatives sent to Washington to the peoples business and that includes stopping amnesty, Obamacare and the out of control spending orgies that both parties as guilty of.

Grass roots are springing up everywhere in the US just as it did in Colorado and threw out the two bums that thought they could act irresponsibly and without accountability.  Well they know better now, don't they.  Question is, does the GOP at the national level?

If the GOP and RNC national elites would just go back to their conservative roots and fight the Socialist as we did in Colorado then they would have a big favorability with the constituents.  I am afraid that there will be many bums thrown out in the next election cycle on both sides of the isle.  This is how democracy works, it is on display for the world to see and hopefully fear because the masses seem to be the last thing American politicians of late, fear.....

Amazing Grace

 
Stunning, moving and epic comes to mind.  Enjoy!

I have just a few thoughts to jot down as I watched Hillary accept her Liberty Medal on September 10th.  I have never paid much attention to this award in the past.  This particular medal is awarded to "men and women of courage and conviction".  I find it laughable when the Nobel Peace prizes are awarded to those such as "Yassir Arafat; Jimmy Carter; Al Gore and, yes, Obama!  The politicizing of once esteemed awards have become so patently absurd that the thought that anyone can keep a straight face while either presenting or receiving these awards must be tough.  The same goes for Hillary and her medal awarded the day before the anniversary of her biggest failure, Benghazi.  Everywhere you look these days you find Democrats failing upward.  Her election to Senator followed by a failed run for President in 2008 would put to pasture most others.  No, were are not that lucky.  She is woman, hear her roar.  There was an article posted at American Thinker who thought it was time to revisit some of her failures, scandals and ineptitude's.  It is enlightening as can be.  I thought I knew Hillary's skeletons pretty well, but as with most Democrats I tend to just ignore them after a certain point out of self sanity.  The link to that article is here.

With her credentials nicely rounded out as Secretary of State she believes that she is now credible enough to claim international experience to become President.  I shudder to think.  So, in 2016 the Clinton machine will grease it's wheels and roar back into the nations conscience.  Get ready to be called mysogenic woman haters and racists.

From the outside, looking in

First, for those who do not live in the Great State of Colorado here is what the language looked like on the recall ballots:

"the lawmakers were "guilty of contempt for 'the constitutional liberties of the people' and 'firearm manufacturers and for the rights of Colorado citizens."

and over at Huffpo -- "The recall opponents described their adversaries as "extremists" and scare-mongered voters by claiming that guns would be available to felons and spouse abusers."

Finally, a look at the "run to victory that the recall organizer had to do in which to win last night", keep you eyes on the "Blue democrats after the Red Republican" :

What 9/11 accomplished

Remember.

On September 11, 2001 the United States of America was attacked by terrorists.  This plan to kill many more than the 3,000 that it did was an act of war perpetrated by a non State terror entity called al-Qaeda whom publicly declared war against us.  Many of us remember that day will clarity.  But since it occurred over twelve years ago it is already an unknown to some of our children. 

The attacks purpose was aimed at our way of life and to bring us to our knee's and expose us as the "paper tiger" that the previous 8 years of the Clinton Administration portraits.  Instead of cowering and instead of talking as if the tragedy was a "law enforcement" issue, George W. Bush stood on the rubble with a mega phone and declared that America will hunt you down.  The one great thing that Bush's leadership in this nations time of crisis did accomplish was to galvanize Americans.  We were not democrats, republicans, black, white or illegal immigrants....We were Americans.

For the first time since WWII Americans enlisted to fight against those who attacked us.  People like Pat Tillman laid down their careers, in this case an NFL player, and then laid down his life to bring to justice those that Bush declared we would smoke out of their caves.









From football field to Battlefield - Pat Tillman











Americans were outraged.  The red, white and blue was hoisted over the corner store to the house on the corner.  The red, white and blue was on bumper stickers, car antenna's and everywhere you looked.  Silently, the Democrats were brooding because to counter this surge publicly was political as well as mortal suicide.  So they played nice, for just a little while and even got on the bandstand.  Just twelve years later the Democrats have turned this galvanization in alienation.  The American flag is still flying, except where it is, it is attacked and vilified by those on the left and aligned with them. 

When I said the Democrats played nice for awhile, it wasn't long for their true anti-American feelings came out.  Not only were they behaving contrary to the new found galvanization of the majority of American sentiment for justice, they did so with malice of political gamesmanship.  In early 2003, less than 2 years removed from the 9/11 attacks, democrat operatives within the DNC and supported by those in Congress sent out a "secret memo" from the head of the DNC with their plan.  Basic excerpts were:

"In coming weeks, Democratic elected officials will question the President’s intentions on the pending war with Iraq. Writers and broadcasters friendly to the Democratic cause have already been provided talking points suggesting the war is about oil, not terrorism. “The talking points were developed before the end of last year and sent out to operatives and friendly media,” one Democratic consultant confided. “No Democratic member of Congress will question the President’s patriotism openly but we will use the media and other surrogates to raise doubts.”

--Claiming the Bush administration has “manufactured” evidence against Saddam Hussein and used that evidence to encourage Britain and other allies to join the American fight against Iraq;  --Suggesting a wartime economy is the only way the administration can revive the country’s lagging economic situation.  “It is clear that the current approval ratings of the administration are tied directly to strong American feelings toward traditional values,” the talking points say. “To counter this, doubt must be raised as to America’s true position within the world community and the true intent of the Bush administration in waging war.”

On 9/11 of last year the Democrats had the golden opportunity to Galvanize the American public again as the al Qaeda terror attacks on Benghazi was opening our national wounds by attacking on this day.  Yet, this administration immediately sent out surrogates to claim the attacks were not terror but were the result of a anti-Muslim video made by an American.  Now we also find that this Administration is siding with al-Qaeda fighters against Assad in Syria.  This was on the heels of backing another al-Qaeda friendly government in Egypt.

This President and those who follow his lead need to be impeached and removed from office as their behavior, words and actions are aligned with those who want us dead.  They are NOT protecting the citizens of this country and it is obvious they hate this country.

There was a couple of recent studies that show that patriotism and the American flag is synonymous with Conservatives only. 

There was a recent article in April 2013 by Goal Auzeen Saedi, Phd at Psychology today titled "Do Racism, Conservatism, and low IQ, go hand in hand?".  The opening line says it all and is indicative of intellectuals of the left --

"This morning as I logged onto Facebook, I came upon this image. Having followed the Boston marathon and MIT shooting coverage initially, I lost some interest when it came down to the “hunt.” As much as justice matters to me, so does tact and class, and the sensationalism of manhunts always leaves me uncomfortable. I also knew it would be a matter of time before the political rhetoric would change from the victims and wounded to the demographic factors of the suspects—namely race and religion. And alas, it has."

This author, though raised in Oregon, is obviously of this mindset of intellectual suicide politics.  Just as in Ft. Hood, when an attack happens to be terror, demean those who say it is and call it something else, like say, racism or stereotyping.  Don't mind that these terrorists in our midst are telling us loudly, clearly and unambiguously that they are.



   

Blog of the Month

The Average American-- don't let the title fool you, he is angry at the trajectory of this great nation.  His latest tribute to the victims of 9/11 are a must read.  He is a "Great American"!

The Peons and Nuts of Amateur Hour

The media described them as Peons, Nuts and the Amateur Hour.  They also called them "Astro Turf and "the Plucky Little Guerrilla Group" but in the end the brought down two sitting Senators in the State of Colorado.  In a battle that was brought on by Democrats who believe they do not have to listen or should be accountable to their constituents, the outside forces descended to squash the Peons.  The usual straw man, the NRA was maligned again to try to beat back the peasants from the fields.  The Peons and Nuts were, in the end, the Democrats and their fellow travelers.  What they do not understand is that the NRA garners their strength from membership fees of all of those "peons and nuts".  Every time a Democrat opens his/her mouth to attempt to demonize the NRA they are insulting millions upon millions of rubes that believe in their right to bear arms. 

The Democrats were nervous.  They had poured massive amounts of money into the State to defeat this band of brothers and sisters united.  They brought in Obama's ground team to go door to door to defeat this tidal wave of discontent.  Then at the 12th hour they brought in Grandpa Clinton himself to appeal to sway them out of their need to keep the 2nd Amendment in tact.  The Amateur Democrats don't learn from history.  When Clinton passed the "assault weapons ban" during his Presidency, the lost the House.

When Democrats use a State statute to enact a recall it is because they did not agree with the peons and nuts that elected the Wisconsin Governor.  When peons and nuts take this playbook page from the Democrats and are successful it must be fraud.  Hopefully, this will be a litmus test for the nation.  I do not think the Democrats will learn from this eventful night, but perhaps those who see the Democrats and loons and goons will rise up and use the levers of Democracy for what our founders intended, hold our elected leaders accountable to us.

Peace Prize cheapened again!

Al Gore............need I say more.  His "Inconvenient Truth" isn't his film documentary but the science behind it.  I use the term science with regret.

In December 2008 the BBC reported a "startling" science report in which Al Gore incorporated into his film and ultimately received the prize.  This report as reported in 2008 indicated that the polar ice would completely disappear by the summer of 2013.  The oceans were going to rise and population centers would mass migrate causing catastrophe of global proportions.  It's no wonder that Obama boldly stated he would stem the rise of the Oceans if he would only be elected.  A few months later, in May 2009, the same scientist (again I use this word loosely) gave another interview to Beyond Zero Emissions and stated that the computer models in his first report were probably "conservative" in nature, meaning, it could happen sooner. 

Flash forward to today.  In London, the news agency "UK Mail online" has a piece written that informs us that the Artic Ice mass has actually increased 60% from previous levels a year ago.  That is one hell of a "hockey stick" curve or swing if you will.  I guess for now, the polar bears can jump from their little floating ice flow that was literally melting underneath them to a larger play ground of 1 million square miles.  The question is:  Egg on the face scientists need a new story line, what will it be?  The UN climate people have delayed their current report, no less because it is, ah, flawed and will instead have a "pre-conference" meeting to discuss the latest findings. 

Obama on the other hand can take credit for stemming the rise of the sea.  hooray.....

Morse's bioharzardous constituents


It appears that Mr. Morse has put on his bio suite (Denver Broncos's shirt) and is now going door to door looking for support from those very same toxic constituents he bragged about ignoring.  Not only did he brag that he ignores his constituents but he advised his Democrat brothers and Sisters in the Senate to do the same.  When he was first elected, he  “promised to focus on jobs and the economy,” it complains, “but instead pushes gun control, civil unions, sex education, illegal alien tuition, etc.”. 

He said the following in a recent interview -- “When Angela and I win,” he said, alluding to Sen. Angela Giron, D-Pueblo, whose seat is also up for election Sept. 10, “I hope these issue kind of groups realize that recalls are not worth it and not a good strategy. Recalls are for unethical behavior, and not disagreements.”

Morse, typical Democrat hypocrite, describes recalls as unethical behavior yet the most recent example of the unethical nature of recalls come from Democrats attempt to recall Scott Walker in Wisconsin.  There, is an example of unethical behavior.  Walker as you recall was doing what he promised his constituent he would, Democrats didn't like it so they tried to recall him because of it.  When they failed, they occupied the Capital building with the Occupy Wall street types.  If you analyze the Walker recall efforts it shows that the Democrats do not care what constituents want it is about what they want because after all, Walker was doing what he promised he would do during his campaign.  Morse on the other hand did not.  This is why he will be recalled regardless of his new found fondness of his constituents and his Bronco tee.

An eagle's kiss

 


Freedom and I have been together 11 years this summer.  She came in as a baby in 1998 with two broken wings.  Her left wing doesn't open all the way even after surgery,
it was broken in 4 places.  She's my baby.

When Freedom came in she could not stand and both wings were broken. She was
emaciated and covered in lice. We made the decision to give her a chance at life, so I took
her to the vet's office. From then on, I was always around her. We had her in a
huge dog carrier with the top off, and it was loaded up with shredded newspaper for her to
lay in. I used to sit and talk to her, urging her to live, to fight; and she would lay
there looking at me with those big brown eyes.  We also had to tube feed her for weeks.

This went on for 4-6 weeks, and by then she still couldn't stand. It got to the point where the decision was made to euthanize her if she couldn't stand in a week. You know you don't want to cross that line between torture and rehab, and it looked like death was
winning. She was going to be put down that Friday, and I was supposed to come in
on that Thursday afternoon. I didn't want to go to the center that Thursday, because I couldn't bear the thought of her being euthanized; but I went anyway, and when I walked in everyone was grinning from ear to ear. I went immediately back to her cage; and there she was, standing on her own, a big beautiful eagle. She was ready to live. I was
just about in tears by then. That was a very good day.

We knew she could never fly, so the director asked me to glove train her.
I got her used to the glove, and then to jesses, and we started doing education programs for schools in western Washington .  We wound up in the newspapers,
radio (believe it or not) and some TV. Miracle Pets even did a show about us.

In the spring of 2000, I was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. I had stage 3,
which is not good (one major organ plus everywhere), so I wound up doing 8 months of
chemo. Lost the hair - the whole bit. I missed a lot of work. When I felt good enough, I would go to Sarvey and take Freedom out for walks. Freedom would also come to me in my dreams and help me fight the cancer. This happened time and time again.

Fast forward to November 2000.

The day after Thanksgiving, I went in for my last checkup.  I was told that if the cancer was not all gone after 8 rounds of chemo, then my last option was a stem cell transplant. Anyway, they did the tests; and I had to come back Monday for the results. I went in Monday, and I was told that all the cancer was gone.

So the first thing I did was get up to Sarvey and take the big girl out for a walk. It was misty
and cold. I went to her flight and jessed her up, and we went out front to the top of the
hill. I hadn't said a word to Freedom, but somehow she knew. She looked at me
and wrapped both her wings around me to where I could feel them pressing in on my back
(I was engulfed in eagle wings), and she touched my nose with her beak and stared into my
eyes, and we just stood there like that for I don't know how long. That was a
magic moment. We have been soul mates ever since she came in. This is a very special bird.

On a side note: I have had people who were sick come up to us when we are out, and
Freedom has some kind of hold on them. I once had a guy who was terminal come up to us and I let him hold her.  His knees just about buckled and he swore he could feel her power course through his body. I have so many stories like that..

I never forget the honor I have of being so close to such a magnificent spirit as Freedom.

Wild, Wild West

In four days I believe there will be reckoning in the great State of Colorado.  Many have written about the impending and historic recall election of two Democrats.  Accusations have flown about the press of proxies, special interest groups and outright electioneering have been leveled in an attempt to thwart this effort.  Much to the dismay of Democrats this recall efforts will proceed.  The Democrats are nervous and rightly so.  The usual straw man (NRA) is pilloried.  As the day approaches (Tuesday) I remembered the last time I visited the State while on business.  I arrived at the airport in Denver, rented a car and hit the highway for a business dinner.  It was snowing and my rental car did not have a GPS which left me to my own devices to find the area just North of Denver.  Somehow I got off the beaten path and found myself driving up a secluded mountainous area that did not provide me enough room to turn the vehicle around so onward I went waiting for a "turnaround" area.  Finally, the road was coming to an end and there I sat in the warmth of my car, headlights shining on a grave site that bore the historic name "Buffalo Bill Cody".  I laughed out load in spite of the fact I was the sole occupant of the car.  I have told this story to many people over the last 10 years as it was one of life's moments that actually make an impact.  This accidental find was surreal. 

With all of the news about Colorado I began to think about that fateful evening of discovery and found myself thinking about the history of the State of Colorado during the "Wild, Wild, West" time period and how Coloradans are especially proud of this aspect.  The State has always been pro second amendment until a redistricting of political boundaries saw the Democrats take control of the Colorado Governorship, Senate and their State House of Representatives.  Sound familiar?

There are many parallels of examples when Democrats, who are no friend of Coloradans nor of those who are pro second amendment advocates.  The Democrats were not even friends to the late great Buffalo Bill Cody.  I gave the first of what happens when the Democrats gain total control as they did in 2008 at the national level. 

When I literally stumbled across this great Western pioneers resting place it peaked my interest and did some research to refresh my historical memory of him.  I was surprised to find out that he was a "Congressional Medal of Honor" recipient.  In 1917, the Democrats had control of the White House (Wilson) as well as the US Senate and the House of Representatives.  The way that they had control of the House in spite of the fact that Republicans had a majority was due to the ideological alignment with the 6 "progressives" and the lone "socialist" member.  The country was split ideologically as it is today and the 7 members gave them a voting block majority.  It was this 65th Congress that stripped Buffalo Bill Cody of his "Medal of Honor".  1917 was also the year he died to add insult to injury.

Some of the other interesting tidbits I found on Cody was that the "Buffalo Bills" were named after him even though he had no ties to that State. 

Everything about the life of this man involves guns.  His "wild west shows" toured the US as well as the world.  So, I believe that he is probably rolling over in his grave, again, at the actions of Democrats.

What these Democrats did in their quest to follow Bloomberg's lead to strip those wild west gun loving Coloradans of their 2nd Amendment rights went too far for the likes of Coloradans of every political stripe, color and gender.  When, in the run up to pushing through this unpopular legislation no unlike Obamacare they insulted women in the process.  When a woman got up to speak about the fear of being raped and the benefits of being armed, the Democrats sullied their gender by saying that all they need to do is urinate or vomit on themselves in the commission of a rape instead of armed with a handgun.  Nice. 

So while we wait for Colorado to hold their elected leaders accountable for their actions I want to part ways here with another famous "wild west" character that appeared in many of the Buffalo Bill Wild West show that toured the globe -- Annie Oakley!  Somehow I don't think she had to resort to vomiting or urinating on herself for protection.  I remember her best by "Annie get your Gun"!
