‘Hit Her Again!’ Angry Video Shows S.C. Union Leader Smashing Gov. ‘Nikki Haley’ Pinata

Amid calls for more civility in politics, the president of South Carolina’s AFL-CIO has been caught on tape bashing a pinata with the face of South Carolina governor Nikki Haley as a crowd cheers and encourages her.

“She looks like a tough old girl, here” Donna Dewitt, the union official, says while adjusting the pinata for a perfect smash.

“Well, whack her harder!” says an unnamed voice. “Wait until her face comes around, whap her!”

After the “head” spins from a direct hit, Dewitt lets out a “woop!” and the crowd yells: “Give her another whack! Give her another whack! Hit her again! Hit her again! That one’s for me!”

Fake Explicit Image of S.E. Cupp Reportedly Appears in Hustler (Graphic)

Cupp told The Blaze she was “horrified and disgusted” when she first saw the image, which was passed along to her by a friend.

“It’s uncomfortable. I’m not in this business to talk about myself, I’m not in this business to talk about my character,” she said. “I‘d much rather be talking about Obama’s economic record or his foreign policy than myself and having to defend myself against [this photo].”

Speaking with Glenn Beck during his radio program Wednesday, Cupp said she’s seen a lot of misogyny against conservative women like Sarah Palin and Michelle Malkin, but she’s never seen anything “this disturbing and graphic.”

“You have to wonder if they had done this to someone like Nancy Pelosi or Michelle Obama, would that stand, would no one make a stink about it? I have to think they would,” Cupp demanded.

Ok, let’s face facts here people!  The leftard Marxists are incapable of being civil.  Why?  Well, personal opinion, they are tools of evil, plain and simple.  There is something seriously missing inside them, and I’m thinking it’s called a soul.  Or, if they do have souls, they’re about as black as empty space.  Nature hates a vacuum, so their souls have been filled with evil.  Yep, that includes the unionistas who are incapable of thinking for themselves, and people like Larry Flint, who has made millions off the exploitation of women.

They are just plain vile!

Things are heating up in Wisconsin, as campaign signs for Gov. Scott Walker reportedly have been burned in two towns.

At least eight signs for the Republican governor, who faces a recall election on June 8 against Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, were set on fire in Fox Point and Oak Creek, according to WTMJ-TV and WTMJ-AM.

Ya know, I realize there are idiots on both sides of the issue.  Stealing someone’s yard signs is one thing….burning them in someone’s yard, which could quite easily get out of hand, and do major harm to people and property? Well, that’s a whole ‘nuther kettle of fish!

If I had to venture a guess, I’d say these arsonists were on the side of the unionistas who are annoyed that their “free ride” is over!  Pretty pathetic, don’cha think?  But then again, those who believe that society owes them anything are extremely pathetic beings.  I’d say it was way past time for these anti-Walker types to grow up, and take a real good look in the mirror.  THEY are the problem, not Walker.

Gosh! Another Hollyweirder speaks out! Proof positive, there must be something in the water that prevents brain function.

Anyway, I am slurping coffee, attempting to get at least one eye open, and going through emails. I got a link to something I found quite interesting, and pretty much agree with it, with one exception….I don’t think voting for Ron Paul is a good idea. Other than that….I have to say that yes, our lame stream media is nothing more than a government run propaganda machine, in the same vein that the media of Nazi Germany was, or the state run media in Venezuela.

A snippet:

The elites are masters of propaganda. They have at their beck and call an army of “journalists” who never stray from the official state line for fear of being ostracized. They eagerly and happily spread lies and half-truths in order to gain and then keep their seats near the halls of power. Those who stray from the party line (Helen Thomas) are harshly dealt with.

They have learned that the more lies they tell, the more lies we believe. And the more lies we believe, the more dependent we become. Conversely, the fewer myths, lies and deceptions we succumb to, the less dependent — and, therefore, the freer — we are.

If you watch the news, read the papers, either print or online, no doubt you’ve notice a serious deterioration in the quality of the ‘news’. Instead of all the facts, we get slant, from all the outlets. The majority, however, slant so far to the left with their propaganda, it’s difficult to know what real anymore. The lack of reporting is just as bad as flat out lying. Those who actually pay attention have seen a great many omissions in what most would consider vital information pertaining to the story that’s being ‘reported’. But since it doesn’t fit into their agenda, and that of the current administration, it gets left out, or the spin is so blatant, you get dizzy just hearing it….kind of like going a few rounds in a dryer.   Just one example of the media ‘in the tank’ for the administration would be the recent WaPo column by a total Obama suck up.  *shakes head*

When confronted with a challenge to the established belief system, the mind closes off. When this happens, the individual employs avoidance behavior, writes off the new knowledge as conspiracy theory and labels it as kooky, insane or stupid. The information is then dismissed, never to be considered again, even when the facts support the new knowledge.

The esoteric purpose of propaganda is to extract wealth and labor illegally as concealed involuntary servitude. The people who use propaganda to persuade the populace against their best interests create myths and sell them as benefits.

Have you ever had, what started out as, what you THOUGHT was a rational conversation with a liberal?  Within minutes, confronted with the truth, the majority will totally become unhinged.  Recent videos of the OWS crowd proves that point with no need for explanation.  You can find them anywhere on the net, unless, of course, some underhandedness has occurred, which you KNOW it does!  YouTube is notorious for pulling videos , especially when the rabid leftist complain.  Let a conservative say that something is highly offensive, and you get either silence, or ‘it’s protected by the 1st Amendment.  Funny how that works, eh?  Google apparently is another arm of the socialist movement known as the Democrat Party, with the head, Obama/Washerwoman-Schultz, pulling the strings.  Or would that be George Soros?  Uh oh!  A conspiracy theory.  tsk tsk tsk

So, anyway, the column has a list of lies, covering a variety of topics, from The War on Terror to The economy is improving.  One topic of interest is There is a difference between the Republican Party and the Democratic Party.  In today’s parties, some might agree.  In a way, I do as well.  All we have to do is look at the candidate we were stuck with in 2008, and to a degree, who THEY have decided our candidate is this time around.  I know of very few people who actually supported either one.  The elites at the top are actually quite similar, however, us rank and file out here in the REAL world, are quite different from each other.  The majority of us stand on principle.  The head honchos blow with the wind.  Quite disturbing actually, which is why the Tea Party is so vital to all upcoming elections.  No, we are NOT fading away.  We are still out here, doing our best to not only take our country back, but the party of Reagan as well.  The reason you don’t see us out there, like you you do the OWS types, is because the majority on our side either work, or have family obligations which prevents us from traveling distances, not to mention, we don’t get financial support from ANY organizations to bus us in for rallies.  We foot our own bills, and unlike the unionistas who get bused (and in most cases, paid) in to protest something or other, of people who are just handed a sign, and paid to carry it for the cameras.

The one item I have an issue with is A vote for Ron Paul is a vote for Obama. Actually, it is. I think Ron Paul is a smart cookie….when it comes to domestic issues. However, his foreign policy has turned off a large number of people, including me. We stand by our allies, not throw them to the wolves, as the Obama administration has. I think he’d make an excellent Secretary of Treasury though.

So, no, I do not believe “A vote for either Mitt Romney or Obama is a vote for continued and reinforced fascism.“  We can’t do this in just one election cycle, and we have to start somewhere.  Getting Obama out of office, and in turn, removing all those freakin’ czars, reversing the numerous ‘executive orders’ that ‘go around Congress’, and getting a majority in both the House and the Senate is just the first step to restoring our Constitutional Republic.

It has been over three years (1,111 days to be precise) since the U.S. Senate last passed a budget. The last time Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) fulfilled his legal responsibility, Conan was still on NBC, Tea Parties hadn’t come together and the iPad hadn’t yet been introduced. This is one of the biggest abdications of power we have seen on the part of our government in modern time. And there is no excuse. The Senate needs only 51 votes to pass a budget. Democrats have had well over that for President Obama’s entire term, yet they refuse to even offer a plan.

Let’s be clear. The Senate must pass a budget if we are going to halt Washington’s disastrous habit of overspending, overborrowing and overtaxing our fragile economy. While liberals sit on the sidelines saying ‘no,’ conservatives are offering solutions.

Representative Paul Ryan (R-WI), Senator Pat Toomey (R-PA) and others have courageously put credible and thoughtful plans on the table. But today, I am happy to report that a member of the Senate has put forward an unprecedented new plan that directly confronts all of the major economic challenges our nation faces.

Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) has introduced a budget resolution that mirrors the bold and thorough reforms The Heritage Foundation first proposed in our comprehensive program, “Saving the American Dream.”

Recognizing that our nation has come to the point where we either change course or risk falling into permanent decline, Senator Lee’s “Saving the American Dream” budget resolution puts forth a framework for strengthening the core principles that make this country exceptional, namely:

• Limiting the size and scope of the federal government
• Reforming our entitlement programs so that they ensure real economic protection instead of unrealistic promises no government can sustain
• Simplifying our complex federal tax code so Americans have greater opportunities to create lasting economic prosperity.

Lee’s plan is a strong blueprint for restraining and ultimately reducing our nation’s massive debt, cutting Washington’s out-of-control spending and above all restoring our nation’s economic prosperity. This is the only way that we can make sure future generations are not saddled with debt that keeps them from having the same opportunity of achieving the American Dream.

The reaction from those who want to continue the status quo against all evidence that we can’t is predictable. They will demagogue Senator Lee and other conservatives of wanting to throw grandma over the cliff. How blind, and how irresponsible. If we fail to act then spending under programs such as Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid will balloon unchecked and eventually the nation will effectively go bankrupt. The truth is that the president’s health reform law magnified the financial problem while already ending Medicare as we know it.

Instead of making promises Congress has no chance of keeping even with massive tax hikes, Social Security and Medicare should provide seniors with a reasonable, affordable and predicable benefit that protects seniors from the threat of living in poverty.

Under the Lee budget, Social Security is converted into a true insurance that supplements income for retirees who need it. For the more affluent, benefits will be quickly restored in cases of sudden reversals.

By completing the transition begun years ago to a premium-support program, Medicare would assist seniors in buying the affordable health coverage they want and need from a marketplace that would have been freed to be more competitive. Similar approaches in Medicare Part D and the Federal Employees Health Benefits Plan (the plan Congress enjoys) have resulted in lower health care costs and higher value in the delivery of care.

You may have heard the false allegation that conservatives don’t have a plan to solve our health care problems once Obamacare is ultimately repealed. This plan provides the answer.

This budget finally addresses one of the biggest problems with the healthcare industry–ever rising costs. Senator Lee proposes changing the outdated tax treatment of health insurance so that every American receives a tax credit (equal to what they get today in the workplace) to buy and own health coverage that meets individual needs.

This can be done without mandates from the federal government that intrude upon the moral, religious and philosophical sensibilities of the American public. At the same time, the Lee budget resolution redesigns the entire federal tax code into an expenditure tax that has a single flat rate. That’s right, a single, simple and fair tax system.

The plan encourages more savings, benefiting every American who dreams of going to college, buying a house or starting a business. Greater savings and a less punitive business tax also means more resources to invest and more opportunities to invest in our economy, and that means more jobs for Americans who are out of work and better wages for those who have jobs.

Finally, like Heritage’s fiscal plan, Lee’s budget reevaluates what the federal government can do with taxpayer money and time. By substantially reducing the size and scope of the federal government, Lee’s plan rightfully moves government towards its core responsibilities that fit within the Constitution and original intent of our Founding Fathers.

It is encouraging to see lawmakers taking a serious look at the crucial steps that are necessary to get our nation on a path of fiscal, political and constitutional responsibility. But there is more to do, and we hope you’ll join us in our efforts to make sure that “Saving the American Dream” becomes a reality.

Sincerely,

Ed Feulner
President, The Heritage Foundation

Rick Santorum endorsed presumptive GOP nominee Mitt Romney in an email to supporters sent late Monday night.

The one-time Republican presidential hopeful and former Pennsylvania senator said “the primary campaign certainly made it clear that Gov. Romney and I have some differences. But there are many significant areas in which we agree.”

“We both agree that President Obama must be defeated. The task will not be easy. It will require all hands on deck if our nominee is to be victorious. Governor Romney will be that nominee and he has my endorsement and support to win this the most critical election of our lifetime,” said Santorum.

While his backing could shore up Romney’s position with the GOP’s conservative base, some could view it as a lukewarm endorsement of the party’s eventual nominee.

When it comes right down to it, this isn’t about Obama or Romney. This election is about the very survival of the United States.  Was Romney my choice?  That would be a big fat NO!  Will I vote for him in November?  Damn skippy I will!  Why?  Because we will not survive another four years of socialist/marxist rule!

You folks who have decided you won’t vote for Romney because he doesn’t represent everything you wanted in the candidate….stay home!  Voting 3rd party, or write in will only get us another four years of complete destruction.  If you want the socialists to completely take over, then just use your vote for Obama.  Don’t give me that crap about ‘standing on principles’.  Standing on principle is great and I’m all for it, but when it comes to this country, you need to get your head screwed on straight, and stand WITH those of us who KNOW we have to boot Obama from the White House.  We didn’t get this far down the sewer in one day, and we sure won’t be getting out of it in one election cycle.  If giving Obama his pink slip isn’t your goal, then you have lost sight of our real problems, and it ain’t Mitt!  Our problem is the GOPer elites, who need to be replaced, and the lame stream media, that needs to relearn the meaning of investigative journalism.  IF we stand together, eventually, we just might be able to TAKE OUR COUNTRY BACK!

Obama has not been a leader.  He, and his minions, have basically crowned him king, and kings don’t give a flying flip about the peons that pay his bills.

Before the 2008 election, when Barack Hussein Obama was running, there were so many reasons NOT to vote for him, but the masses didn’t listen.  As my overly liberal sister put it, “It’s time.”  Time for what?  To vote for a half black, half white man?  If that’s the reason people voted for him, they seriously got the shaft, didn’t they.

Listed in 2008:

1. He supports infanticide, literally!

2. His spiritual mentor for 20 years has been Jeremiah Wright whom Obama personally chose out of many Chicago pastors. It strains credibility that he didn’t know about Wright’s views. He listened to tapes of Rev. Wright when he was at Harvard Law! So why did he choose him and stick with him for so long? The only possible explanation is that he approved of Wright’s tirades.

3. He is a close friend of William Ayers and Bernadine Dorhn, unrepentant Weather Underground terrorists.

4. He is a target for assassination, not because he is black but because he is a Muslim apostate, according to devout Muslims around the world. Therefore, he cannot be a good Chief Diplomat to the Middle East.

5. He was mentored by a communist.

6. His economic plan will harm the US economy and create more fiscal irresponsibility with the Congressional Budget. Why do we want to return to the days of Jimmy Carter?

7. He is in favor of unilateral disarmament, leaving America defenseless against its enemies.

8. He is unaccomplished. He hasn’t really done anything of worth relative to the office of the US presidency. He’s only been in the Senate for about two years (assumed in office Jan of 2005 and announced his candidacy for the presidency in Feb 2007). One can’t be simultaneously a full-time senator and a full-time presidential candidate. Soon he will have campaigned for almost as long as he has been in the Senate.

9. He is willing to personally meet with hostile dictators like Hugo Chavez and Ahmadinejad with no preconditions. They don’t deserve such a privilege of meeting the President of the USA. Reagan negotiated from a position of strength, when he thought he could gain something. What does Obama hope to gain?

10. Three other people: Tony Rezko, Eric Holder, Jim Johnson. Why does Obama associate with such shady characters?

Has anything changed since then?  No, actually, it’s gotten worse.  He now has a record he can’t run on because it has been such a massive failure.

Let’s look at each one through today’s eyes.

1.  He still supports the murdering of babies and he expects the taxpayers to pay for it.

2.  He may have thrown Jeremiah Wright under the bus when it came out that Wright was an American hating bigot, but that ‘teaching’ is still ingrained in Obama’s life.  We just see it more clearly that Obama is also an American hating bigot.

3.  Still buds with Ayers and Dorn, even though the denials keep right on coming.

4.  He attended a Muslim school in Indonesia.  Whether he was ever really a Muslim or not, he obviously has way too many close ties with the very people who want to destroy us.  Putting members of the Muslim Brotherhood in posts of authority is irrational to any true blue American, yet, there they are, right out in the open for all to see!  And please, let’s not forget about the great “apology tour“!

5.  Obviously, the goals of communism are still alive and well with The One!  “FORWARD!“  I mean, after all, when you want to take from those who produce, and give it to those who sit on their collective asses in mommy’s basement, what else could you call it?

6.  Dear Lord in heaven!  Someone needs to teach that man basic math!  All his big talk, giving OUR money to failed companies, wanting us to believe it’s for the greater good to fund a bankrupt business that pushes ‘green’ crap that was doomed to failure from the git go!

7.   Yep, his dreams of a weak America against her enemies hasn’t changed.

8.  The only thing Barack Hussein Obama has accomplished since being sworn into office is perfecting his campaign technique.  He’s quite accomplished at reading a teleprompter.  He has the ‘blame Bush’ down pat, and he’s taken a bad economy, under the failed House leadership of Nancy Pelosi, and made it a WHOLE lot worse.  I don’t know, but I honestly don’t think that’s much to crow about, do you? Bush was no prize, but he hasn’t been in office for nearly four years.  Time to take credit where credit is due.  Oh, and bin Laden is dead, although Obama isn’t the one who risked his life to get the sleeze weasel, he is taking credit for it, naturally.

9.  It seems to me that having a chat with folks who want to murder innocent people, and that would include U.S. citizens, isn’t a real bright idea.  Nor is letting terrorists walk away scott free.  But yet, that is what this administration is doing, and thinks it’s a good idea.  I disagree.  I’m all for firing squads, don’cha know.

10.  Well, Obama is still associating with shady character, Eric Holder.  While Obama could be considered the WORST president this country has ever seen, I’m fairly sure that Holder is THE worst, and quite possibly the most corrupt, attorney general ever to head the Department of Justice.

As a whole, this entire administration has been an abysmal failure.  Unless, of course, you consider the destruction of a nation a success, then, by golly, he’s been one heck of a prez.

Isn’t it odd that since Walker has been in office, the unemployment rate has dropped?  What happened to all those morons shouting at the Capital about how people were going to lose their jobs? From 7.6 to 6.8 (Mar ’11-Mar ’12).  It helps if your state has a business friendly atmosphere, which Walker has been trying to create.  Many school systems have been able to actually SAVE money through Gov. Walker’s budget reforms.  Unfortunately, the BIG union districts failed miserably.  Many teachers ended up losing their jobs.Why?  Well, let’s just say that selfish union thugs don’t give a damn about what’s best for the kids that they are entrusted to ‘educate’.  Wait a minute!  Isn’t that what the morons who banged drums and behaved like animals in the Capital said Walker’s budget would do?  Cost teachers their jobs?  It appears they are just as stupid as they appeared on the idjit box.

In the long run, this whole recall BS isn’t about ‘children suffering’, or job loss.  It’s about union power.  Plain and simple.  The years of Dopey Jim Doyle put the state into a financial disaster that only a person of strong character, and TRUE concern for the state could pull it out of, yet the unions have spend a fortune spreading the most absurd lies about the man.  And unfortunately for Wisconsin, the ill informed have bought into the crap being spewed.  You hear utter nonsense about how the Koch brothers bought Scott Walker.  Excuse me while I clean off my monitor.  Spewing coffee from laughter y’know.  Who is buying whom?  Well, let’s look, shall we?

Yep!  You Wisconsin union members are getting the shaft!  Is this why you pay your dues, voluntarily or forced?  I always thought those unions dues were for the members benefit, NOT the top echelon who want more and more power. But don’t forget, they also use the money you work for, and pay into as dues, for resorts trips (and let’s not forget the resort that was/is? owned by the fattest union of all)….not for you, who actually earned the money, but for those who having been sucking the life out of the U.S. economy for decades. Think Detroit.

Your head honchos are living high off the hog from your money, and yet, you continue to get out there and make total jackasses of yourselves…for THEIR benefit, NOT yours!  Please note the area where your dues is being spent.  Politics.  To say that the Koch’s are pouring money into politics is down right laughable.  More than half a BILLION dollars compared to 12 million over the course of, what….23 years?  In one state?  Come on people, snap out of it!  I know you can’t all be that damn ignorant!  Or, maybe you can.  I’ve seen some of the comments made by the leftard union thugs.  Logic does NOT enter into the conversation….only talking points and hysteria.  My goodness.  Grow up!

If Wisconsinites really love their state, as so many claim, then why on earth would you want to destroy it by electing another Dopey Doyle (totally owned by unions, especially WEAC).  Is it so much to ask for teachers, and other government employees, to actually contribute their own money, instead of the taxpayers, to their own health care and retirement?  Government employees work for the people.  The people spoke when they elected Scott Walker.  Get over it!  Stop throwing 2 year old tantrums!  If you aren’t happy with something, then go about it in the proper manner, instead making asses of yourselves, and showing the entire world just how totally ignorant, selfish, and childish Americans are…..especially UNION states.  Get over your gimme mentality…it is NOT all about YOU!  And you are NOT entitled to diddly!  Especially not OTHER PEOPLE’S MONEY!  But then, that’s the way of the communists, isn’t it.

This election isn’t just about the survival of Wisconsin.  No, this election is about the survival of the United States.  Governor Walker has brought Wisconsin back from the brink, and the rest of the country needs to follow in his footsteps…not the footsteps of Lenin and Stalin!  Scott Walker is the best thing to happen to Wisconsin in a VERY long time!  Use YOUR brain, not the union/commies’!

As usual with this president, Obama’s trip to and speech from Afghanistan had way more to do with politics than any real substance.

Seven thousand miles, one way, is a long journey to share war remarks with countrymen that he should have and could have shared back home many months ago. Despite the administration’s best backgrounding sales efforts, the document he signed with Afghan President Hamid Karzai is a meaningless basic agreement to talk later about forging a real agreement.

Nothing was essentially changed by what the media lovingly called his “secret trip” to the war zone, which was simply unannounced for security reasons.

So, how much did this useless little jaunt cost the taxpayers this time? I guess we’ll find out eventually. But we must remember to add in all the goodies he’s promised to the corrupt Afghan government as well. What was I heard? TWO BILLION? Was that a year, or in total? And we shall never forget the cost in the lives of our military men and women, those who will never come home (68% on Obama’s watch), and the many whose lives will never be the same, physically, mentally, or emotionally. There is no dollar number that could EVER reflect that cost!

So, what was this word BO left out?

In his speech last night the president noted the more than a half-million Americans who’ve served in Afghanistan. But in remarks that Obama wanted focused on an optimistic end to the conflict, he failed to mention the 1,957 Americans who’ve died there since 2001, 68% of them during his presidency. And 93 in the last 122 days.

Nor, as it turns out, could the politically-inclined president of the United States find room anywhere among his 1,556 words for the seven letters that could make his surges and all those sacrifices seem more worthwhile: “victory.”

The one word that Americans have fought and died for in way too many wars. Victory! There is no victory when you aren’t allowed to win. Enemies are to be killed….not won over to your side. It just doesn’t work that way. Well, at least it didn’t use to, when Americans were proud, and men stood up for their principles, AND their country.

If you happened to have missed BO’s little campaign speech last night, you can read it on the White House website.  Sadly, I did watch it, and nearly lost my dinner in the process.  It’s also at the bottom of link above.

Ya just gotta love this little tidbit:

But over the last three years, the tide has turned. We broke the Taliban’s momentum. We’ve built strong Afghan security forces. We devastated al Qaeda’s leadership, taking out over 20 of their top 30 leaders. And one year ago, from a base here in Afghanistan, our troops launched the operation that killed Osama bin Laden. The goal that I set — to defeat al Qaeda and deny it a chance to rebuild — is now within our reach.

I’m not really sure what planet that dude is on, but it ain’t planet Earth with the rest of us mere mortals. al Qaeda has branches all over the world, and they still have a large bullseye on the Big and Little Satans. No matter the name of the TERRORIST group, they are all the same in their goals. Destroy Western civilization, and kill any who do not submit to their phony god.

Oh, and then there is this:

Fourth, we’re pursuing a negotiated peace. In coordination with the Afghan government, my administration has been in direct discussions with the Taliban. We’ve made it clear that they can be a part of this future if they break with al Qaeda, renounce violence and abide by Afghan laws. Many members of the Taliban — from foot soldiers to leaders — have indicated an interest in reconciliation. The path to peace is now set before them. Those who refuse to walk it will face strong Afghan security forces, backed by the United States and our allies.

Really? Dude….put down the doobie, K? Rational human beings don’t ‘negotiate with terrorists’.  The Taliban?  Just another name for evil Islamonazis, and they are terrorists.  Simple.  The Afghans are not our partners in this ‘war’.  They are as much the enemy as the North Vietnamese were during that ‘conflict’.

Oh, and isn’t it interesting that BO chose the one year anniversary of bin Laden’s death?  Which, naturally, he is taking the credit for…as usual.  Take credit for what he didn’t do, while blaming others for he did do.  Gosh!  What a ‘leader’, eh?

This future is only within reach because of our men and women in uniform. Time and again, they have answered the call to serve in distant and dangerous places. In an age when so many institutions have come up short, these Americans stood tall. They met their responsibilities to one another, and to the flag they serve under. I just met with some of them and told them that as Commander-in-Chief, I could not be prouder. And in their faces, we see what is best in ourselves and our country.

Our soldiers, our sailors, our airmen, Marines, Coast Guardsmen and civilians in Afghanistan have done their duty. Now we must summon that same sense of common purpose. We must give our veterans and military families the support they deserve, and the opportunities they have earned. And we must redouble our efforts to build a nation worthy of their sacrifice.

….will anyone bring up the fact that our military is being decimated and demoralized?

Did you know that military family and friends have to buy their soldier the equipment needed to keep them safe?  Well, at least as safe as possible in a war zone.  Why?  Because the freakin’ military doesn’t have the money needed to supply our troops, that’s why!

Where are all our tax dollars going that is suppose to keep us safe from the evil that is rampant in the world?  Gee, where should I start?  How about those who believe they are owed a check off YOUR hard earned dollars?  Maybe it’s the over bloated government spending on useless crap?  Or how about the salaries that pay our so called ‘public servants’ who do nothing but whine and complain they aren’t getting their ‘fair share’?  Do you know who are not getting their fair share?  That would be the men and women of our military!  No government employee should EVER make more in a year than the lowest ranked in our military.  NEVER EVER!

Do you know how many pairs of boots I sent to Iraq and Afghanistan?  And I don’t even have a family member serving!  Well, that’s neither here nor there.  The issue is why isn’t our military given the BEST of EVERYTHING?????  Is it because Michelle has to take her monthly vacation to the tune of a half mil?

Yeah…I better stop now.  I promised myself, I wasn’t going to be angry anymore.  Believe me, that’s a real hard promise to keep, but I am trying!

From Gateway Pundit:

Democrat endorsed #Occupy protesters destroyed property and busted out windows in a march last night in San Francisco.

So, consider that statement, and check this tidbit linked from Yahoo -

“Many in the Occupy movement are blaming outsiders and “Black Bloc” anarchists who have a habit of hijacking peaceful protests for the own purposes. Unfortunately, most regular citizens won’t know or care to make the distinction — particularly if they wake to find their automobiles destroyed.”

Rather amusing in a way.  Not amusing in a haha way, but amusing that even though the evidence is overwhelming of the criminal activity within the so called occupiers groups, they continue to deny any connection, and have been compared to the Tea Party.  What’s the score on the rapes, thefts, vandalism, and even murder within the Tea Party groups now?  Oh…that’s right……………ZERO!  The occupests can’t say the same, can they.

Sending banks envelopes of white power, even though found to be non-toxic, really isn’t the mark of a ‘peaceful’ organization, is it.  Included with their little gift:

“This is a reminder that you are not in control,” said a message that arrived with the envelopes. “Just in case you needed some incentive to stop working we have a little surprise for you. Think fast you have seconds.”

Nice people, eh?  What we have here is serious domestic terrorists, yet the leftists (read socialists/communists) are hailing this bunch as grass roots, and admire their actions.  Really?  Speaks volumes for our so called leaders, doesn’t it.  Yep…grass roots alright….funded by big leftard/socialist/nazi George Soros, among many other left wing American haters.  I know I can’t be the only one who sees the irony of ‘protesting greed‘ by the greediest bunch of pond scum there is…those who want to take from those who actually EARN, spread it among themselves, and maybe share with others of their ilk….the do nothing, give me all your money, thieves.

These are Obama people!  “Forward“!  Right.  Oh, I mean, left. They share the same values, or lack of.

Crucifixion was not only one of the most disgraceful forms of death, it was one of the most dreaded methods of execution in the ancient world. Accounts of crucifixions are recorded among early civilizations, most likely originating with the Persians and then spreading to the Assyrians, Scythians, Carthaginians, Germans, Celts and Britons. This type of capitol punishment was primarily reserved for traitors, captive armies, slaves and the worst of criminals.  (source)

We bandy about words to the point where they lose all meaning. One good example would be ‘racism’, a word so overused, and misapplied, it has lost much of it’s impact. For the Obama administration to use the word crucify in relation to energy, particularly the gas and oil industry, is totally mind boggling.

Obama’s Crucifixion of “Big Oil”
The Foundry

If it ever was a secret, it’s not a secret any longer: The Obama Administration is on a vindictive campaign to injure America’s oil and gas industry. The proof materialized last week when video of an Environmental Protection Agency official revealed the White House’s vicious attitude toward the very industries that supply the American people a reliable, affordable energy source. Yesterday, that official fell on his sword and resigned to spare the president any further embarrassment from the truth he disclosed.

Last week, Heritage’s Lachlan Markay reported on a video showing EPA Region VI Administrator Al Armendariz describe his agency’s “philosophy of enforcement” with respect to the regulation of oil and gas companies — likening it to brutal tactics employed by the ancient Roman army to intimidate its foes into submission. With a wry smile, Armendariz detailed the joy with which the EPA inflicts punishment on the disfavored industries:

It was kind of like how the Romans used to, you know, conquer the villages in the Mediterranean. They’d go into a little Turkish town somewhere and they’d find the first five guys they saw and they’d crucify them. And then, you know, that town was really easy to manage for the next few years.

Lest there be any doubt, it’s worth reiterating the point — according to Armendariz, the EPA views its enforcement efforts as a violent crucifixion used to strong arm companies into submission. The Constitution bars cruel and unusual punishment, but evidently that doesn’t apply to the axe-wielding EPA when it comes to enforcing regulations.

None of this, though, should be a surprise coming from what very well may be the most anti-energy administration in history. For the president and his cadre of bureaucrats, “Big Oil” is the enemy that deserves to be beaten into submission.

Exhibit A: The president’s unremitting crusade to raise taxes on the oil industry by denying it access to tax credits available to other industries. This, of course, is a game of semantics and populist rhetoric. In his appeal to the American people, the president is claiming that oil and gas companies enjoy special loopholes and subsidies that need to be eliminated. In reality, they get the same tax treatment enjoyed by producers of clothing, roads, electricity, water, and many other goods manufactured in the United States. Actually, oil companies receive less of a tax break than those manufacturers. (Oil companies receive a six percent reduction while all other manufacturers receive a nine percent reduction.) Yet the president wants to impose a higher targeted tax hike and take the tax break away completely.

When President Obama lashes out at “Big Oil,” guess who’s going to pay the price? You. First, raising taxes on any company means that the costs will be passed on to consumers. If you’re tired of paying high gas prices, you would pay even more if the president levies new costs on the industry that is supplying your fuel.

Second, when the president talks about “Big Oil,” keep in mind who “Big Oil” is — it could very well be you. Thirty-one percent of U.S. oil and natural gas shares are owned by public or private pension plans. On top of that, individual retirement accounts hold 18 percent of shares, individual investors have 21 percent, and asset management companies including mutual funds account for 21 percent — comprising more than 90 percent of oil and gas stocks in 2011. That means when those companies profit, there’s a good chance you profit. And when those companies suffer, there’s a good chance that you suffer, too.

That doesn’t matter, though, to an Administration that is in an unyielding pursuit of a singular “green” agenda. Billions in taxpayer dollars are spent to fund solar companies that go bankrupt and to give tax credits to wealthy Americans so they can buy a handful of electric vehicles. Meanwhile, the president’s Secretary of Energy, Steven Chu, gives himself an “A” for his work in lowering gas prices, despite their reaching all-time highs under his watch. And all the while, the president is saying “NO” to domestic energy exploration, including his decision to block the Keystone XL pipeline.

So when Armendariz spoke of “crucifying” oil and gas companies, it was not a surprise. His crime was saying what the rest of the Obama Administration — including the president — have been thinking and doing all along. Last week, Armendariz apologized and called his comments ”an offensive and inaccurate way to portray our efforts to address potential violations of our nation’s environmental laws.” In fact, though his words were vivid, they were all too accurate. The Obama Administration has an obvious political agenda that is not focused on enforcing rules, but on vindictively assaulting an industry that doesn’t comport with its green agenda — even though Americans depend on oil and gas companies each and every day.

President Obama has said he favors an “all of the above” strategy when it comes to energy policy. “All of the above” apparently means taking no prisoners as he marches toward a “greener” future, regardless of what it costs the American people.

Connecting this, with the gas and oil companies, to further their agenda in destroying America?

It has been awhile since I last saw and spoke with a liberal. (I feel eyebrows lifting!)

I mean, let’s look critically at whom liberals are, and compare them to the folks who claim to be liberals today.

About a hundred years ago here in America liberalism was ” … a political theory founded on the natural goodness of humans and the autonomy of the individual and favoring civil and political liberties, government by law with the consent of the governed, and protection from arbitrary authority.”
LINK

Read that again. Does that sound like modern day liberals? Does it even come close to describing the folks in the US government claiming to be liberals? Not hardly!

Let’s look a bit farther.

From the Ludwig Von Mises Institute we glean the following:

“If one wants to know what liberalism is and what it aims at, one cannot simply turn to history for the information and inquire what the liberal politicians stood for and what they accomplished. For liberalism nowhere succeeded in carrying out its program as it had intended.

Nor can the programs and actions of those parties that today call themselves liberal provide us with any enlightenment concerning the nature of true liberalism. It has already been mentioned that even in England what is understood as liberalism today bears a much greater resemblance to Toryism and socialism than to the old program of the freetraders. If there are liberals who find it compatible with their liberalism to endorse the nationalization of railroads, of mines, and of other enterprises, and even to support protective tariffs, one can easily see that nowadays nothing is left of liberalism but the name.”
LINK

Aha! We are about to get to the kernel of this nut.

From What is Liberalism.Com we learn this:

“Most people have heard the world ‘Liberalism’ at some point, but exactly what is liberalism? Liberalism at its heart is the belief in the innate right of freedom, or liberty for all people. This includes, importantly, equal rights for all individuals. There are different groups of liberals with different beliefs aside from this key tenant of liberalism, but most liberals today also agree that the freedom of speech, freedom of religion, free elections, democracy, and free trade are also essential. Within the large group of liberals, there are varying ideologies such as classical liberalism and social liberalism. Two people who would otherwise both consider themselves liberal may still hold some opposing political beliefs.”
LINK

Does any of this even remotely describe the people in the US government today who call themselves liberals?

So — who are they?

They are socialist/Marxists — that’s who they are. They have hi-jacked the liberal movement in America and are using it as a facade, a mask, if you will, behind which they conceal their nefarious agenda.

I submit that if Senator Joe McCarthy was alive and in the US Senate today he’d be running an investigation to try to determine whom IS NOT a “commie” in the US government.

So what IS Socialism?

“Any of various theories or systems of social organization in which the means of producing and distributing goods is owned collectively or by a centralized government that often plans and controls the economy.

The stage in Marxist-Leninist theory intermediate between capitalism and communism, in which collective ownership of the economy under the dictatorship of the proletariat has not yet been successfully achieved.”
LINK

When you compare liberalism and socialism the difference is obvious.

So what is the connecting link? Progressivism.

So what IS Progressivism?

“Progressivism was based on the idea that government could be used to better society. They wanted government control/regulation of the economy. They wanted to reform the wealthy and very poor.”
LINK

Progressivism reared it’s ugly head in the early 20th century America. It reeked of “elitism.” It became abhorrent to the American people and went underground for a few decades. However, it has been making a comeback in the past two decades especially under the Clinton Administration and the Obama Administration especially when the Democratic Party had control of the entire Congress.

Progressivism was the bridge between liberalism and socialism. It connected the two philosophies and has, for all intents and purposes, caused the death of true classical liberalism and replaced it with socialism and Marxism.

Conservatives believe that government should be as small as possible with no more intrusion into people’s lives than is absolutely necessary. You can instantly see how socialism and conservatism (in America) quickly clash.

Conservatives “believe in limited government, individual liberty, the free market capitalism, a strong military, personal responsibility and the sanctity of life.”
LINK

Classical Liberalism and Modern (American) Conservatism surely have differences. But when comparing them it is easy to see how they could effectively work together for the good of the country.

However, with the injection of Progressivism into the mix, which, in turn, opened the door for socialism in American politics, one can plainly see why America’s government is at a stalemate.

Progressivism/socialism has sabotaged the American government.

No clear thinking American wants a “do-over” for fear of what we might get in the form of “new” government. But — a “reboot” might be nice. Re-booting to the original America, to the America the Founders gave us, an America in which the people had confidence in their government would be welcomed, I believe, by all Americans.

Nobody talks about a Constitutional Convention anymore. Those kinds of meetings are, by their very nature, extremely dangerous for a constitutional government. With that considered — maybe it is time we began to seriously think about a constitutional convention tasked with re-booting our beloved America and returning her to the constitutional principles our forefathers intended.

Ol’ Broad’s nickles worth: My opinion of today’s liberals/progressives/socialist/communists…. They are just really mean people. They destroy. They create nothing but chaos. The believe themselves to be smarter than everyone else, but prove their ignorance time and time again. For a good example, take a long hard look at Debbie Washwoman Shultz  (Human Events really needs to update their list.  It has grown by leaps and bounds.). Is there are more stoopid woman in the country? And that’s the CHAIR of their national committee! They are rude, classless, and obviously have no regard for anyone but themselves. Selfish would be a complete understatement.  The lie, they cheat, and they steal…all to get what they want….NOT what they’ve earned.  

A conservative FB friend, Scott, shared a comment left on his wall by an obviously mentally ill liberal:

We are all used to conservatives pushing our buttons. You are just one troll amongst a thousand but your days are numbered. We, as a country, are not going to tolerate Republican immorality much longer. Eventually we will have no choice but to round all you fascist criminals up, disarm you, and educate you until you learn how to behave like civilized human beings.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiggghht!

Ok, let’s pick apart this genius’ assertions, shall we?

We are all used to conservatives pushing our buttons.

Well, of course conservatives push the liberals buttons. It’s called logic and truth.  Sadly, the majority are incapable of dealing with either.

You are just one troll amongst a thousand but your days are numbered.

Excuse me, but who is the ‘troll’ here? The comment was left on the conservative’s wall, not the other way around. Trolling has become an art form to the left. Some of the most ridiculous comments left on almost every conservative site have been left by self proclaimed liberal/progressives.  Was that ‘your days are numbered‘ a threat?  Hmmm….

We, as a country, are not going to tolerate Republican immorality much longer.

Here we have your blatant liberal line of caca de toro.  “Republican immorality“?    Seriously?  Which party is it that promotes promiscuity?  Which party promotes the slaughter of innocent babies, sometimes the result of the previously mentioned promiscuity.  Which party “bears false witness” on a regular basis?  Which party wants to steal from others?  Which party pushes covetousness?  Republican immorality?  Massive fail dude! 

Eventually we will have no choice but to round all you fascist criminals up, disarm you, and educate you until you learn how to behave like civilized human beings.

Wow!  Where to even begin.

Ok…let’s try the definition of fascism:

any movement, ideology, or attitude that favors dictatorial government, centralized control of private enterprise, repression of all opposition, and extreme nationalism

Now, I don’t know about you, but it appears to me that this sad, mentally ill being hasn’t got a clue. That definition pretty sums up the ‘progressives’, don’t you think?

Disarm? As in violate our Constitutional rights?  Isn’t that what Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Pol Pot, etc., did to their citizens?  How many millions ended up dead because they were no longer able to defend themselves from people with this ‘liberal’ mindset?  If you add up all the totalitarian regimes, the number will be well over a billion.  That’s 1,000,000,000.  BILLION…with a B.

Apparently, he also believes we need to be re-educated.  Well, let’s take a look at such ‘education’.  A bit of history is needed here. The term came from the North Vietnamese originally, where “the government imprisoned several hundred thousand former military officers and government workers from the former regime of South Vietnam“. The idea wasn’t to actually educate anyone. It was quite an effective tool for “revenge and a sophisticated technique of repression and indoctrination, which developed for several years in the North and was extended to the South following the 1975 North Vietnam takeover.”  And this is what our mentally ill ‘friend’ wants for his fellow Americans?

Now, shall we talk about civility?  I don’t even know where to start!  I guess it’s true that a picture is worth a thousand words, so how about we do a bit of comparison, shall we? The pictures on the left are what this…person…considers civil, and those on the right are uncivil.

Civil       Not civil 

Civil      Not civil

Civil     Not civil

Yes indeedy! Definitely a mental disorder!

You’ll also notice, that those in the middle ‘class’ bracket pay more than the tier above them.  Wonder why that is?  Because the government is doing it’s best to kill the “middle class”.
