Shhhh…There’s a Paraceratherium in the Room

There’s a Paraceratherium in the room.

Shhhhhhh…..

Don’t talk about it. Just ignore it and maybe nobody else will notice it.

Maybe it’ll go away.

WhatEVER you do though…don’t talk about the Paraceratherium in the room.

THAT is what we’ve seen for a LONG, long time now from the media regarding the Emperor’s hidden and buried past.

Not even Fox News wants to talk about the Paraceratherium in the room.

Okay…so what exactly IS a Paraceratherium?

It’s a prehistoric giant hornless rhinoceros.

Like so many other prehistoric beasts, the Paraceratherium has evolved. It’s much smaller now and can be found in the halls of Congress, state legislatures, some Governor’s offices and yes, its spirit seems to have found its way into the control rooms at Fox News.

Story Time with the Emperor

“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?

Did Cornered Obama Launch a Preemptive Strike?

Over the last several days, we have seen an uptick in the rhetoric from the Obama campaign and it’s all personal attacks against Mitt Romney.

Okay.

We fully expected that during this campaign and, we fully expect it not only to continue but, to get worse.

Lots worse.

We know Obama can’t run on his record and we know he’ll try to swing the topic away from things like jobs, unemployment, the debt, the economy, raising taxes and just about any part of his record or administration one cares to mention.

But what has transpired in the past few days may well be being mischaracterized by almost everybody in the press and the blogosphere.

What we are hearing most often are words and phrases like…”Jumped the shark” and “desperation.

Here’s what is leading to what could well be the biggest missed foreshadowing in recent history.

Friday Fume

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

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

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

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

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.

Friday Fume

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

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.
