North Korea is Fueling Their Middle Finger

And…There it stands. Like a giant middle finger flashed in the direction of the United States…There is stands. An intercontinental ballistic missile. In the heart of North Korea. There it stands.

They’re fueling it now. Even as this is being written that missile is being fueled.

They will launch it.

The window for that launch opens tonight and remains open for a few days. It will be launched.

If it flies over Japan, Japan has vowed to shoot it out of the sky and damn good for them.

The North Koreans say it’s to launch a satellite which would help their people but that’s a load of crap and we all know it. No satellite will help the people of North Korea.

Are you part of the 42%?

Are you part of the 42%?  If you are, then you are rightly upset by all the rhetoric coming out of the incumbent’s administration and the talking heads on media.  If you are not part of the 42%, then consider yourself lucky.  For the all of you who are wondering what I am talking about, grab a beer, some popcorn and your calculator and read on…

Oh, and I refuse to use the man’s name when referring to the person occupying the seat of President.  I respect the office of the President, as one should.  I do not respect the man or his ideology.

Ok… So… Unemployment is at 8.2%. However, 88 MILLION people are not in the work force. Let’s compile some numbers here (according to the CIA World Factbook)…

  • US Population: 313.8 million (2012 abstract based on 2010 census and data derived comparing previous census data)
  • Population of working age (15-64): 209.2 million
  • Population NOT working: 88 million

And what is the “official” unemployment percentage? 8.2%.  That means that officially, ONLY 17.2 million people are not working.  Hmmmm  Does not add up.  What is the real percentage based on the numbers above?  Well, using the numbers above, you get a percentage of…wait for it…42%. Yes. 42% of people are not in the work force, according to those numbers. And I TRIED to use round numbers of the extrapolated numbers to be as generous as possible, but I am not willing to spin numbers for any reason.  I deal in fact, and the fact is our country is a LOT worse off than our government handlers are letting on.

Obama is No Beethoven

It has been said that, “A lie can travel halfway round the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.” It has also been said that the above quote came from Mark Twain. That, in and of itself, may well be a lie as it seems more probable that the quote came from Charles Haddon Spurgeon; but aside from this, what of Spurgeon do we know or, for that matter, care.

Regardless of the origin, the quote is true but only up to a point.

It describes but the beginning of the race. Truth, eventually, wins the day because the lie, eventually, stumbles.

As for Twain, a voluminous liar in practice, he did have something to say on the matter.

The glory which is built upon a lie soon becomes a most unpleasant encumbrance. How easy it is to make people believe a lie, and how hard it is to undo that work again!”

“Almost all lies are acts, and speech has no part in them.”

I am different from Washington; I have a higher, grander standard of principle. Washington could not lie. I can lie, but I won’t.”

Twain, indeed had a great deal to say regarding the practice or art of the lie, but perhaps my favorite is this:

Obama’s Eligibility…Tyranny in the Making

While the Obama administration fights for all they’re worth, and that ain’t much, to prevent individual states from enacting voter ID laws, and while at the same time more and more allegations of forgery regarding Obama’s own personal records surfaces due to Sheriff Arpaio’s Cold Case investigation, voter fraud has taken a front seat in Indiana.

Butch Morgan, Pam Brunette, Beverly Shelton and Dustin Blythe, pictured  from left to right, have been formally charged with election fraud.

These were democratic operatives.

They worked for the democratic party in St. Joseph County, Indiana.

They forged names on petitions to place both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton on the Indiana ballot in 2008.

They split up the job…2 forging names for Obama and the other 2 forging names for Clinton.

It looks now as if between the 4, enough name were forged to place both candidates on that ballot – and what’s even more stunning is the idea that, without their efforts, it now looks as though neither Obama nor Clinton would have made the ballot.

It is unlikely we would know anything about this today were it not for Lucas Burkett. He blew the whistle. From the start, he was in on the scheme. Burkett himself forged signatures and was there, at St. Joseph County Democratic strategy meetings, where the scheme was discussed and agreed upon.

Obama’s Crusade Against Israel Comes Out in the Wash

Imagine if one of our allies, during WWII, had let the cat out of the bag regarding D-Day…the date and the location or, leaked our information regarding Midway Island or the Doolittle raid. Imagine it, if you can, the damage that would have been done.

For some, WWII is too distant a memory and probably not taught in schools. Trust me, even if you’re not familiar with these important and decisive moments of WWII, such leaks would have been devastating to our efforts, would have cost thousands if not tens of thousands of our soldier’s lives and most likely would have prolonged the war by years.

In fact, such leaks by our allies would have been unforgivable.

Got that?

UNFORGIVABLE!!!

And yet, this is exactly what the Obama administration and therefore, Obama, is doing to Israel.

It was less than 2 months ago when Leon Panetta sat before a Washington Post reporter and let loose of the “possible” timeline for an Israeli attack against Iran regarding Iran’s nuclear weapons facilities.

According to Panetta, “there is a strong likelihood that Israel will strike Iran in April, May or June.”

Oh it’s been another banner week for the liberal/socialist fools, hasn’t it? Normally you wouldn’t see this sort of behavior outside the fence surrounding the Sunny Brook Home for the Politically Deranged.

Are you ready for this week’s tour of the lobotomized liberal/socialist world?

Here we go…

It’s Friday and I’m fuming.

It what may well be the strangest and most ironic interview EVER…

Haywood Carey, an Occupy Wall Street “Financial Officer” sat down with THE WALL STREET JOURNAL this week.

When Carrey opened his OCCU-PIEHOLE…this came out: “If we keep spending at the rate at which we have been doing, we will probably go broke in a month.”

WHAT??? SAY IT ISN’T SO!!!!!

A group of slackers who make couch tators look like overachievers, who would rather sit in a park, crap on cop cars, spread disease, and whine about how they don’t have what rich people have…

IS ABOUT TO RUN OUT OF MONEY?????

How could this possible happen?

Oh yeah…Capitalism.

According to the WSJ, “The Occupy Wall Street General Assembly voted this weekend to halt spending on new projects, but will continue to fund housing, food, clothing, and transportation for volunteers.”

The Race to Cash in on Racism

“There is a class of colored people who make a business of keeping
the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before
the public. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his
grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs. There is a
certain class of race-problem solvers who don’t want the patient to
get well, because as long as the disease holds out they have not only
an easy means of making a living, but also an easy medium through
which to make themselves prominent before the public..”

Quote by: Booker T. Washington
(1856-1915) African American political leader, educator and author
Date: 1911

Seer, Soothsayer?

A man with an all too uncommon sense of common sense?

Booker T. Washington was not only right, he was foretelling the future.

In the wake of the Trayvon Martin “event” in Florida, we now have a plethora of fools trying to cash in on the tragedy.

Booker T. may as well have been talking directly about Jesse Jackson and/or Al Sharpton. These guys, and others like them, are tragedy chasers. They run hither and yon, hop scotching about the country, and occasionally overseas, attaching themselves to one tragic event after another but…only where the victims look like them, from a distance.

Obamacare…SCOTUS Decision WILL Affect the Election

Being a political commentator entails many things. It means being up to speed on the widest variety of issues. It means putting yourself out there as a target. It means having passion and the courage of your convictions.

It means offering your opinions and analysis to the choir and the angry mob.

Sometimes, it means putting something out there that won’t make you popular with the choir. This may well be one of those times but, if you read through the entire piece, you’ll see where I’m coming from.

Obamacare is currently being heard as a case before the  Supreme Court . As of this writing, 1 day down, 2 to go. What conservatives want the most could well be the worst thing for this nation.

Let me put that another way.

What LIBERALS want the most, could be the BEST thing for this nation.

Oh boy…is it getting hot in here or is it just me?

All the President’s “Gates”

In the late spring of 1972, two break-ins at the Watergate Hotel in Washington D.C. led to one of the most significant events in American history…The resignation of the President. To be clear, it was not the break-ins that brought down Nixon. It was the cover-up OF the break-ins which damaged his presidency well beyond repair.

It took 2 years of intense investigations and a handful of stories in the press which relied on an unnamed source, identified at the time only as…Deep Throat…to shift public opinion, focus attention on the administration and eventually, force the resignation of Richard Nixon, the ONLY United States President ever to resign the office.

It has often been said that to ignore history is the most certain way to repeat it. While the adage stands as a stark warning it may well not go far enough. Ignoring the present may be the most certain way to render the lessons of history a mere whisper of the tumultuous days to come.

That is where we find ourselves as a nation today. The lessons of mid 1970s are being ignored and the faint whispers of pretense are being hushed.

Since 1972 and Nixon’s resignation in 1974, each and every purported scandal regarding any political entity has had the word “Gate” added to it as a suffix, almost as if the “Gate” in Watergate was a separate word. It wasn’t.

It’s amazing really, how, day in and day out, liberals just seem to ignore common sense.

It can’t be by accident either. It’s a concerted effort. They look at any given situation, decide what the proper way to handle it would be…

Then do the exact opposite.

Oh well, here we go again. It’s Friday and…

I’m fuming.

On Wednesday, in Louisiana, teachers unions apparently believing the rest of us have forgotten that they don’t care a WHIP about the students…CLOSED DOWN 4 PARISH’S SCHOOLS SO THEY COULD PROTEST EDUCATION REFORMS!!!

According to Governor Jindal’s office, “The reality is that action is needed now. Forty-four percent of Louisiana’s public schools received a grade of D or F last year. Louisiana’s 4th and 8th graders ranked among the bottom in English and Math when compared to other states. In 2010 there were 230,000 students in Louisiana below grade level – one third of all students in public school.”

Naturally, the liberal run unions are MUCH more concerned about the TEACHERS than they are the students.

The changes proposed relate to teacher evaluations, tenure and retirement plans, as well as charter school creation and regulation. They would make it easier to fire BAD teachers, affect the way TENURE is handed out and create a charter system for those who want their kids to LEARN something.

Without a doubt…teachers unions in Louisiana are dead set against this idea of GOOD teachers being GOOD for students and RAISING the grade levels OF those students.

Liberals will be liberals…

Fuming.
