Story Time with the Emperor

Posted on by

“If you’ve got a business, you didn’t build that.”

Funny…We didn’t hear THAT from Obama 4 years ago…did we?

Imagine a guy campaigning on THAT sentiment and actually winning a 1st term. Now…Imagine a guy campaigning on that sentiment for a 2nd term. Well, you don’t have to imagine it because that is exactly what Emperor Obama is doing.

Now…imagine this Emperor trying to woo the votes of small business owners with a line like that.

“Greetings small business owners. Ya know…it occurs to me that, if you’ve got a business, you didn’t build that.”

By the sweat of their brow, through trial and error, great ideas, through ground level grassroots marketing, after putting all they had into their business to get it off the ground, late nights, early mornings, no vacations and doing without, you are told by the Emperor that…

“If you’ve got a business, you didn’t build that.”

Of course, that wasn’t the entire message.

“If you’ve been successful, you didn’t get there on your own. You didn’t get there on your own. I’m always struck by people who think, well, it must be because I was just so smart. There are a lot of smart people out there.  It must be because I worked harder than everybody else. Let me tell you something…there are a whole bunch of hardworking people out there.”

“If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life. Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you’ve got a business, you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen.”

What exactly DOES the Emperor MEAN by that?

It’s that time again friends.

Time to sit back, take that load off your shoulders and let it out.

We’ve survived another week of liberal/socialist mayhem and the only way to keep it from driving us all over the edge, is to have a bit of a laugh.

While there’s no telling WHAT the liberals have in store for us NEXT week, we’ll find a way to make fun of that when the time comes.

For now, it’s Friday and…

I’m fuming.

CAN SOMEBODY PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME…AGAIN…JUST EXACTLY WHY WE KEEP FUNDING THE UNITED NATIONS???

Last week, SPECIAL U.N. ENVOY…KOFI ANNAN…said…”My presence here proves that I believe Iran can play a positive role and should therefore be a part of the solution in the Syrian crisis.”

“If we don’t make a real effort to resolve this issue peacefully and it were to get out of hand and spread in the region, it can lead to consequences that none of us could imagine.”

IF IT…WERE…TO GET OUT OF HAND???

Today’s Obamacare Headlines Are GROSSLY Misleading

Posted on by

Yesterday, in the House, yet another vote to repeal Obamacare was held. It was the 33rd time such a vote was taken in the House since the passage of the bill nobody could know what was in until they passed it.

33 times in the house.

How many times has this been debated in the Senate?

Zero.

That’s because Harry Reid, just as he’s done with 30 some odd jobs bills passed in the House and all the various budgets passed in the House…Refuses to allow them to see the light of day in the Senate.

Liberals and socialists love to tell you that it’s the republicans obstructing congress or doing nothing in congress but, they’re lying.

The headlines today will read something to the effect of, “REPUBLICANS VOTE FOR OBAMACARE REPEALED…AGAIN” or…”REPUBLICANS PLAY POLITICS WITH BILL DEEMED CONSTITUTIONAL BY SUPREME COURT” or…”REPUBLICANS PASS SYMBOLIC VOTE INSTEAD OF DEALING WITH JOBS.”

There will be a great many variations of the headlines but, essentially, they’ll be talking about republicans voting for repeal and getting nowhere doing it.

That, however, should NOT be the headline.

HERE’S what the headline SHOULD be:

Long Term Solutions to a 1 Term Problem

Posted on by

Yesterday, in our article, “Obama’s Tax Plan Unicorn” we pointed out the extreme short term thinking of the Emperor and its negative effects on small businesses. We also promised a long term solution.

To understand the long term solutions we must look back a little.

While Obama’s excuse for the economic disaster has always been, and continues to be George W. Bush, it is clearly a false notion.

Congress switched hands in the midterm election of 2006 with liberals taking control in January of 2007. Obama ran on false promises of fixing the economy and from the time he took office until the midterm 2010 election, HIS party controlled both the House and the Senate but, rather than working on the economy, Obama took advantage of his party’s control of congress to ram through Obamacare.

The following chart shows employment statistics from 2004 to the present.

Obama’s Tax Plan Unicorn

Posted on by

So…Obama’s is bending the truth to the absolute breaking point…AGAIN…And it seems that nobody is going to call him out.

Well, almost nobody.

Obama made what SEEMS like an overstatement when he said, “I’ve cut taxes for small business owners 18 times since I’ve been in office.”

Really?

18 times huh?

Okay…Let’s take a look.

Indeed there have been 18 “cuts” for small businesses in the Obama reign but, one must use quotation marks when stating it because not all the “cuts” are cuts.

Obama…The “Bain” of His Own Existence

Posted on by

So…Mitt Romney wants to outsource jobs huh?

Well…That’s the battle cry from liberal/socialists right now. Obama is saying it. Debbie What’s-her-name Schultz is saying it. Jay Carney…liberals in Congress, liberal pundits…They’re ALL saying it.

They even have an ad airing that says it.

Mitt Romney is the great OUTSOURCER…..RUN…RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!

Hang on…Hold everything…

Maybe we should pay a visit to Realityville.

Did Mitt Romney, while at Bain Capital, outsource jobs?

Yes. Yes he did.

Did he outsource EVERY job he came across?

Nope. No, he didn’t.

People should know what outsourcing is. When you have an answering service picking up calls when your office is closed…That’s outsourcing.

Well my friends, we’ve made it through another week. It’s been an odd week with Independence Day smack in the middle of it and while many have hit the road on vacations…Here we sit, at The National Patriot, keeping track of the liberal dipsticks that don’t reach all the way to the oil pan.

Today, we are exactly 4 months from the most important election since 1860 and liberal/socialists are getting desperate.

If we expect nothing more from them we’ll never be disappointed.

It’s Friday, Patriots, and…

I’m fuming.

Hmmm…Down Texas way…it seems that while trying to implement a voter ID law to add validity to the voting there…Texas has hit the Holder ROAD BLOCK.

Well…There’s a shock.

As the case over the Texas Voter ID law heads to court next week, it appears that Holder has employed…

THE CATALIST GROUP…to gather information.

CATALIST has quite the client list. Obama’s 2008 election campaign, the Democratic Governors Association, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, the American Civil Liberties Union, NARAL – Pro-Choice America Foundation, and the Texas Democratic Trust.

GEE WIZ…WERE ALL THE DOJ’S INVESTIGATORS TOO BUSY DOING AN IN DEPTH INVESTIGATION ON LEAKS COMING FROM THE WHITE HOUSE OR IGNORING THE CONTEMPT CHARGES TO WORK ON KEEPING VOTER FRAUD A SUBSTANTIAL PART OF THE PROCESS IN TEXAS???

Congressman Lamar Smith sent a letter to HOLDER complaining about the partisan effort to squelch the Texas Voter ID law but…

1775 or 2012 – Separated by Centuries Not by Issues

Posted on by

236 years ago, yesterday, a nation rose from tyranny and oppression. A people, with unalienable rights endowed by the Creator, had had enough of Imperial rule and said so boldly, courageously and with the knowledge that they had a choice.

Patrick Henry understood that choice.

In a speech before the Virginia House of Burgesses, on March 23, 1775, Henry swung the vote convincing his Colony to send troops to the Revolutionary War when he proclaimed, “What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death!”

12 years earlier, Patrick Henry, a bar keeper turned attorney had argued in a case that the King was but “a tyrant who forfeits the allegiance of his subjects.”

In 1765, a law student and guest in the House of Burgesses, Thomas Jefferson, listened while, regarding the Stamp Act, Henry offered resolutions to nullify them. Henry, at that time, was met with fierce opposition and his resolutions were termed as treasonous to the King. What Patrick Henry said in response, lit the fire in Jefferson that would lead him to be elected to the House of Burgesses 6 years later.

Muskets Would Have Never Been Issued

Posted on by

Yesterday, the town of Depoe Bay, Oregon, cancelled their annual Independence Day fireworks celebration. This had been a well attended tradition since 1993.

By well attended, I don’t just mean that people turned out to watch the display but, they made a day of it and it had become a great boost to the local economy. Shop owners and restaurants, lodging establishments and gas stations had come to rely on the annual celebration.

Now, it’s gone and for what?

The birds.

That right, because of a bunch of Brandt’s Cormorants that apparently nest a mile from the bay where the fireworks USED to be shot off.

It seems there’s a bunch of bird brains who are scared that the Cormorants are scared of the fireworks and, well, they just can’t have THAT now, can they?

Sorry but, I’m not buying it.

It makes one wonder though, doesn’t it? Where we would be today had liberal/socialist, tree hugging namby pambies been ruling the roost 236 years ago?

Let’s take today’s liberal mentality and head back to the birth of this nation, shall we?

Obama’s Back to the Future Campaign

Posted on by

Scare tactics and conservative conspiracy theories?

Go ahead and tell me I’m wrong but in order to have a valid argument, you’ll have to prove how past actions don’t lead to future reality.

If the Emperor maintains the throne, what can we expect in the next 4 years?

Liberals will laugh at you if you share this with them but, it’s always been a poker “tell” when they stary laughing. They’re tipping their hand. The faster they start laughing, the closer you are to the exact truth and the harder they laugh, trying to drown you out, the more spot on you are in what you’re telling them.

When the name calling starts, you have exposed their truth and they don’t like it not one little bit.

When they start slapping labels on you like…Racist or…Certifiably crazy or…Birther…it’s a tell that they are absolutely desperate to make YOU the focus rather than the TRUTH.

To predict the future of America under another 4 years of Obama we first need to examine his past behavior.

Everything he’s done in the last 3 ½ years is a foreshadowing of the future with the Emperor on the Throne.

He has, for his entire term, unilaterally decided what laws would or would not be defended. He started with the Defense of Marriage Act and has run it all the way to Immigration. Existing laws mean nothing compared to his agenda.

If you haven’t been a fan of his existing law sidestepping and Imperial Orders thus far…Oh just wait…
