The Damage Done by the Current President

When I look at the damage done by the current President, it seems more likely that the nation is locked in a downward death spiral with no bottom in sight.
And even worse, the number of Americans who remain complacent, and willing to accept the 'new normal' is shocking.

But, as our pals at the NYSun note, we've been in difficult straits before, and all it takes are the right, the 'Right', policies to regain our former greatness.

1. " The thing to remember about the cataract of woe that has befallen our country is how fast things can be turned around. We may be in retreat overseas, with riots simmering in Missouri and the economy stuck in second gear. With the right policies, the right leadership, all that can be overcome.
2. But none of the GOP contenders is capturing this simple point .... It can be turned around, and fast....
3. .... making of that point .... was the valedictory speech given by the editor most associated with the Reagan Revolution, Robert Bartley of the Wall Street Journal.
4. .... he didn’t want to hear about the good old days — since our troubles were nothing compared to what we faced in the 1970s. He was referring to defeat in Vietnam, Soviet expansionism, the collapse of the gold-based monetary system, the rise of world inflation, economic stagnation, the Arab oil embargo, war in the Middle East, soaring unemployment.
5. ..... Henry Kissinger conceded that Bartley had been right to take a harder line than Nixon on the Soviet Union. Jack Kemp toasted Bartley’s leadership of the tax-cutting movement. Theodore Olson, who had won the Bush v. Gore lawsuit that cleared the way for George W. Bush to claim the White House, spoke of Bartley’s commitment to the Constitution.
6. Optimism, [Bartley] said, pays. “In human affairs, nothing is ever solved completely,” he said. He was for the steady application of sound policies, confident that economic and political freedom would triumph..... the president he backed, Ronald Reagan, who ran on the slogan “morning in America.”
7. This is the missing element in today’s politics. In 2008, President Obama promised hope and change. But he lacked the policy chops. The GOP today has the policy chops, but nailing the optimism is key.

8. Bartley stood for two big things. One was a military buildup to meet the Soviets. The other was economic growth.

9. Reagan took office in the wake of a recession (in 1980.... once the tax cuts came in, wow did the economy respond. At the Federal Reserve, Paul Volcker choked off inflation by pushing up interest rates above 20 percent. And the value of the dollar on Reagan’s watch soared. (Measured in gold, it rose 38% to one-405th of an ounce of gold.)

a. Within nine years of when Reagan was sworn in, the Soviet Union was gone — voosh.
10. Under President Obama, the dollar has lost a third of its value (it’s up from its low but still down to barely more than a 1,300th of an ounce of gold). ... people feel poor. Unemployment is still above 6%, higher if you count people who’ve given up looking for work. ....the point Bartley stressed — how fast things changed once the right policies were brought to bear. Find the candidate who can give voice to that optimism, and that is the candidate with the winning formula."

Obama urges Israel, "Not to destabilize the situation" over the slaughtered teens

STFU Obama! 
You aren't a  friend to Israel in fact quite the opposite. You allow murdering thugs to torture and kill Americans in Benghazi.  You are weak and a laughing stock around the world. Israel knows her security lies in strength, not cowardice.. Israel has the absolute right to seek justice so butt the hell out, and go tell your stupid stories to the Lesbian crowd, or go play another round of Golf!

Fascism and Progressives: An Intimate Relationship

---

The first fascist nation was right here, in America, under the first Progressive President.
1. Here, ....check Woodrow Wilson's America:
a. Had the world’s first modern propaganda ministry
b. Political prisoners by the thousands were harassed, beaten, spied upon and thrown in jail for simply expressing private opinions.
c. The national leader accused foreigners and immigrants of injecting treasonous ‘poison’ into the American bloodstream
d. Newspapers and magazines were closed for criticizing the government
e. Almost 100,000 government propaganda agents were sent out to whip up support for the regime and the war
f. College professors imposed loyalty oaths on their colleagues
g. Nearly a quarter million ‘goons’ were given legal authority to beat and intimidate ‘slackers’ and dissenters
h. Leading artists and writers dedicated their work to proselytizing for the government.
2. Americans of the era saw it as such....and expelled the Democrats/Progressives/Liberals
They were thoroughly rejected by the voters in the election of 1920:
“The United States presidential election of 1920 was dominated by the aftermath of World War I and the hostile reaction to Woodrow Wilson, the Democratic president. Harding's victory remains the largest popular-vote percentage margin (60.3% to 34.1%) in Presidential elections after the so-called "Era of Good Feelings" ended with the victory of James Monroe in the election of 1820. ” United States presidential election, 1920 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
“In the 1920 election, he and his running-mate, Calvin Coolidge, defeated Democrat and fellow Ohioan James M. Cox, in what was then the largest presidential popular vote landslide in American history since the popular vote tally began to be recorded in 1824: 60.36% to 34.19%.” Warren G. Harding - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
3. Obama- using the IRS against political enemies, spying on every citizen, assuming the rights of the legislative branch.....pretty much the textbook definition of a fascist regime.
4. Now this:
a. "Big chill: Feds want to scour Net, media for 'hate speech'
b. If two Democratic lawmakers have their way, Barack Obama’s Justice Department will submit a report for action against any Internet sites, broadcast, cable television or radio shows determined to be advocating or encouraging “violent acts.”
c. ....calls for the Justice Department and the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights to “analyze information on the use of telecommunications, including the Internet, broadcast television and radio, cable television, public access television, commercial mobile services, and other electronic media, to advocate and encourage violent acts and the commission of crimes of hate.”
d.The bill does not define which actions by broadcasters would be considered to have encouraged violence, seemingly leaving that open to interpretation.
e. The Boston Herald took issue with the bill, calling it “frankly chilling”....seeking to “empower an obscure federal agency to begin scouring the Internet, TV and radio for speech it finds threatening.”

Time for the current Americans to open their eyes.

More Proof Krauthammer, ... Failed to Expose the Real Obama ... Was He Naive or Was He Dishonest?

Back in 2008, as I watched the run-up to the election, I recall being disappointed when Charles Krauthammer, speaking on Fox News, refused to identify Obama as a Socialist.
He would not even use the term.
1.  Charles Krauthammer: “Obama Has Never Been a Mystery” Where was the “Mystery” every other conservative was clearly able to see through him)

2. Charles Krauthammer is typically held in the highest regard by some media personalities on the right.... Krauthammer revealed to Bret Baier of Fox News that neither he nor George Will knew a thing about “the real” Barack Obama back in 2008 prior to the latter’s election to the presidency.

3. Let this sink in: Krauthammer and George Will , veteran media commentators—self-avowed “conservative” commentators—admit, and think nothing of admitting, that up until his election, they just couldn’t figure out what kind of president Obama promised to be. This is amazing.
Among those amazed by Krauthammer’s and Will’s professed ignorance was Rush Limbaugh.

4. On his nationally syndicated radio show, on October 28, Limbaugh remarked: “I am convinced that all conservatives know a statist and a big-government redistributionist when they see one, especially people like Krauthammer and Will.” In disbelief, he added: “It doesn’t compute with me that they didn’t know [who Obama really was].”.... Limbaugh understood him all too well.

5. At the time of the election of 2008, there was no conceivable justification for anyone, much less seasoned right-leaning commentators, to have had any doubts whatsoever about Obama.

a. His relationships with an array of radicals from the political cesspool of Chicago, radicals like convicted terrorist Bill Ayers, were well established.

b. ... two memoirs....revealed for all with eyes to realize it that Obama’s had been a lifelong preoccupation with racial identity—and racial politics.

c. ...Obama resisted efforts to provide legal protection for those infants who had survived botched abortions,...

d. ... on record for lamenting the fact that the United States Constitution makes no allowances for wealth redistribution—or what Obama and his ilk call “positive liberty.”

e. ... months before Obama was elected to the Oval Office, the name of Jeremiah Wright became known to the nation.Wright is an impassioned advocate of “Black Liberation Theology” and a close friend of Louis Farrakhan and the late Muammar Gaddafi.

f. For over 20 years Obama sat in the pews of Wright’s church, a church in which the congregation was routinely subjected to sermons chock full of racially-charged diatribes.... in which he memorably remarks that “white folks’ greed runs a world in need”—a line that Obama would approvingly draw upon himself.

6. And yet, we are expected to believe, Wright had no influence over the development of Obama’s worldview. Apparently, Krauthammer and Will did believe this.

7. ... if Obama had been white and had a track record of allying himself with neo-Nazis or Klansmen, or even had he been a little too close to “isolationists” like, say, Pat Buchanan or Ron Paul, Krauthammer and Will would’ve wasted no time to judge him for what he was .

Mourn Nelson Mandela the Anti Semitic. Terrorist, and Murderer. I don’t think so!

Mourn Nelson Mandela the Anti Semitic. Terrorist, and Murderer.   I don’t think so!
Just because the Liberal-Progressive Press and the Brain-Washed Morons on the Left Idealize this Murderous Creature? Needless to say, the Liberal Moonbats o the Left find what I say to be not only blasphemous, but insulting and showing contempt or lack of respect to their heroic “Saint”
These people need to return reality Mandela was not only an enemy of Israel, but a
find this morally reprehensible.
During the 1960's and 70's, not a week went by without terrorism In South Africa by the ANC's Guerrilla’s force known  as MK or more formally know as Umkhonto we Sizwe  translated "Spear of the Nation" a terrorist organization that was founded by Nelson Mandela!
At that time, Nelson Mandela also was buddy, buddy with that other disgusting Murderous Creature Yasser  Arafaf
And the “Progressive’s “Saint” showed where his locality was when he Nelson Mandela laid a wreath on the grave of Ayatollah Khomeini, the Father of Iranian Terrorists. 
The same Mandela who claimed that Communist Cuba had achieved the “systematic eradication of racism
The same Mandela who declared Israel to a “terrorist state” and declared that we do not regard the PLO as a terrorist organization.
Is this the Man that I am supposed to Morn? Is this the Man that the Media wants to be know  as a “Saint” Is the the Man that Our president wants the Countries Fags to be a half mast for a week? What do you expect?

But don’t say a world about that to the Progressives, his worshipers, those people may get offended.   The Muslim world may get offended as well.
This reality my friends, Mandela was a racist, a communist, a terrorist, a murderer.   I'm sorry but Mandela was not the “Saint” that people imagined him to be.
He was a communist terrorist. The liberal media has been swooning over him for years, saying that his was the first democratic election in South Africa. No way. But you never heard about that from the liberal media.

Obama Announces Plan To Destroy Israel

I received an email yesterday to which I attributed a certain .....hyperbole.
But, upon research.....it's true.

Here is part of that email:
"I just wanted to write a post here outlining what Obama has been doing in the Middle East while America is rightfully preoccupied with the Obamacare tragedy. Yesterday, John Kerry went on Israeli TV and said that if Israel does not partition the country and create a" Palestinian state" (along borders that are indefensible) he will
1) make sure that Israel is isolated at the UN (that Israel will be declared an illegitimate state or a non state)
2) that he will work to ensure that Europe no longer trades with Israel, thereby strangling the Israeli economy and
3) he said that if "Israel does not comply, there will be violence against it".


1. "Secretary of State John Kerry appears to have shed the last vestige of a U.S. honest broker role in pursuing an Israeli-Palestinian peace accord....Kerry warned Israelis that the result would be a third intifada of terrorist attacks against Israel.
But that was just for starters.
2. In addition, Kerry said, Israel would be more internationally isolated, there would be increased calls for boycotts and divestment from Israel, and the advent of a Palestinian leadership committed to violence.
3. ....Kerry also denounced Jewish settlements in the West Bank as "illegitimate" and called for an end of the presence of "IDF soldiers perpetually in the West Bank."
4. ....Kerry's remarks fit perfectly with the Palestinian playbook. His anti-Israel outbursts were bound to play well in Ramallah and Amman."
Blog: Kerry Threatens Israel
5. "US Secretary of State John Kerry, using the bully tactics of his boss Barack Obama, warned Israel that if Israeli-Palestinian talks break down, there might be a third intifada. Kerry’s one-sided warning was even more astounding when this fact is thrown in the mix: two days before he shot off his mouth, a poll conducted by the Arab World For Research & Development showed that only 29% of West Bank and Gaza Palestinians would be in favor of a third intifada, even though 60% believe it could happen."
Kerry Threatens Israel with Third Intifada - Townhall.com Staff 11/8/2013 9:05 AM
6. ".... despicable action by Kerry means is that Kerry has now tacitly given a green light for Palestinian terrorists to wage a third intifada against Israel....
Kerry’s threat came during a joint interview with Channel 2's Udi Segal and Maher Shalabi of Palestine TV.... said:

...I believe that if we do not resolve the issues between Palestinians and Israelis, if we do not find a way to find peace, there will be an increasing isolation of Israel, three will be an increasing campaign of the de-legitimization of Israel that has been taking place on an international basis..."

a. Of course, Kerry never mentions the Israelis’ aspirations to simply live in peace without the constant existential threat, but then, the same man who lied about Vietnam atrocities can’t exactly be someone who wants the truth."
Kerry Threatens Israel with Third Intifada

7. "...the Obama administration is working behind the scenes in tandem with the EU’s boycott of Israeli settlements, tying the seriousness of the EU’s future ban to Israel’s actions during current U.S.-brokered talks with the Palestinians, according to a senior Palestinian negotiator....Kerry is using the EU sanctions to blackmail Israel into complying with talks aimed at creating a Palestinian state that would include the West Bank and eastern Jerusalem.....cause incalculable damage to the Israeli economy.”

a. In July, the EU published guidelines that deny EU funds in the form of grants, prizes and financial instruments from going toward any Jewish entities in the West Bank, Gaza Strip, Golan Heights or eastern Jerusalem.
Report: Kerry threatening Israel with sanctions

Are there still folks who question where Obama's interests lie?

The Obama administration's appeasement to Iranian Islamists .

Somehow, Americans seem to think that what we were given in the past of American history, we can and will go on forever....
I refer to the world of politics....and how little attention many give to that venue.
Little do most folks realize how close we are to the abyss....

 Trevor Loudon, an author and blogger from New Zealand ... decried the “normalcy bias” that blinds Americans from seeing a future America without liberty, the Constitution and military strength..."
You think it’s going to go on forever,” Loudon said. “But there’s no law of nature that guarantees that.”
“If America fails, and America is in danger of failure — that is a harsh reality — if America fails, the West goes down,” he said. “Russia, China, Iran, Cuba, North Korea, Nicaragua, Venezuela and the crazed Islamic allies will carve up this planet amongst themselves. And, if you think the Dark Ages were a tough time, I think it’s going to be pretty bleak for a very long time.”
 “We’ve been very, very lucky for the last sixty years that the most benevolent power the world has ever seen, the strongest military power the world has ever seen, it’s America that’s been leading the world,...

Loudon noted the irony of President Barack Obama and his Democratic allies calling the tea party “extremists” and “terrorists.”
The tea party, he said, is the “most patriotic, gentlemanly, fair-minded, generous, peaceful people — the exact opposite of terrorists. Yet, you have people in your Congress, mostly in the Democratic Party, who are allied to supporters of North Korea and Iran and Venezuela and Cuba and Communist China.”
 “You’ve been infiltrated, and the infiltrators want to deflect attention off what they’re doing by basically demonizing the most patriotic, inoffensive people in this country....
The Democrats are merely “disguising their own anti-American activism.”

Right at this very moment, John Kerry and the Obama administration is trying their very best to appease the Iranian Islamists!  What does that say?   Moreover, this move towards appeasement will send a signal to the Iranian leaders that the West, particularly the Obama administration, does not actually have the power the stop Tehran from enriching uranium.  When if ever will we learn that
Iran should not be trusted.
