Like Slimey Cockroaches & their crooked President, Liberals Spread Disease

[Patriot]

I cannot name a single important instance in which President Obama actually gave any substantive ground to Republicans, on anything.

But there are several instances where the Repulsivecan leadership gave up ground and caved in on their stated principles.  One as recently as last night.  Once again, they are 'reaching across the isle', and they will most likely end up getting their hands cut off... again.

And all the 'troubled' voters will break into another verse of Kum Bah Ya.

Forrest Gump's mama was right, 'Stupid is as stupid does'.

                     Obama's Thug America


By Ben Shapiro

Progressivism in America has always been a thuggish ideology. It rests on the notion that laws require no evidence to support their implementation, that intentions are all that matter and that those who oppose "change" of the sort progressives like are morally deficient. Progressivism requires Americans to separate off certain groups in American life as evil -- the rich ("greedy!"), gun owners ("hooligans!"), traditionally religious people ("sexists!"), Constitutional government advocates ("bigots!"). It requires that certain Americans be cast as good -- racial and ethnic minorities, low income earners and women ("victimized!"), irreligious people ("rationalists!") and big government advocates ("experts!").

Progressivism in America is actually regressivism. Progressivism sends us back to a time when philosophical differences were seen as rebellion against God-given monarchic authority. It sends us back to a time when the law of the community invariably outweighed the rights of the individual, rather than building government on the basis of protection of individual rights.

And most of all, progressivism prevents any possibility of real progress. The goal of the progressive agenda isn't to allow people to live more prosperously, more happily, better. Progressivism has achieved none of that. In capitalist countries, today's poor live better than yesterday's rich; tomorrow's poor will live better than today's rich. In progressive countries, the goal is to obliterate the very categories of rich and poor. In practice, today's poor aren't as poor as yesterday's poor, but they live no better than yesterday's middle class. And the next generation's poor will live the same as today's poor. Stagnancy is the theme of progressivism in material terms.

But material progress isn't their goal. The progressive goal is "progress" in generating a new version of human nature. That is why progressivism embraces and promotes false distinctions between human beings. Progressivism cannot accept the premise of voluntary commitments between human beings -- that would imply that the current state of affairs is relatively ideal since it is based mostly on consent. Capitalism means that the rich aren't rich because of greed -- after all, all human beings are greedy. They're rich because they engage in more voluntary transactions that help both sides. People are people, and they make agreements. There is no possibility of change in human nature.

But this is anathema to progressives. Instead, progressivism must create enemies, opponents to the beautiful change in human nature that must result if we can only excise the evil in our midst. And so progressivism casts certain Americans as the others, who if curbed or eliminated, can be converted into wonderful human beings -- as defined by the left.

Barack Obama is the best messenger of this ideology. His philosophy on the fiscal cliff has been simple: condemn the rich for their greed, cast them out as lepers. Will falling off the fiscal cliff make us more prosperous? Of course not. Even Obama acknowledges that. But he insists that the rich must be taxed, for they are greedy. After all, he is only "asking them" (read: compelling them) to "pay their fair share" (read: foot all the bills associated with reshaping human nature). Republicans believe that prosperity cannot be accomplished by the IRS. But Obama instead casts them as representatives of those greedy rich, and thus fit for excision from the public debate, too.

On the gun control debate, Obama and his allies set up the same dichotomy between good and evil. Those who want more laws confiscating guns -- laws unsupported and unsupportable by evidence in decreasing violence and murder -- are good people. Those who don't are unconcerned about the slaughter of innocents in Sandy Hook. On religion, too, Obama promotes that dichotomy: the religious hate women, and therefore don't provide birth control to their employees. The irreligious love women and want them to have everything they need.

The left's thug ideology finds its ultimate spokesperson in President Obama. True material progress pays the price for implementing his vision of the universe. So does the Constitutional order, which is based on checks and balances designed to preserve rights in the face of non-altruistic human nature. The Constitutional order is an obstacle to progressives like Obama, who believe that government can change human nature if left unchecked.

But if left unchecked, it is the audacious self-righteousness of those like Barack Obama that will destroy the possibility of a better tomorrow for our children and grandchildren.

Dem Congressman Jose Serrano Has Introduced Bill to Remove Term Limits for President... All Hail King Obuma!

This congressional effort to repeal the 22nd Amendment has a snowball's chance in Hades of succeeding, but that doesn't stop Democrats in Congress, most particularly Rep. Jose 'Nut-Case' Serrano from New York, from trying to abolish a limited presidential position in order to create a dictator or king.

Some socialism/communism-embracing yahoos like Serrano haven't given up their anti-freedom dreams of remaking America into Cuba or Soviet Russia or North Korea or China.

From RedState: Bill Introduced to Change Term Limits for President (H.J. Res. 15):

While the country was discussing the Fiscal Cliff, guns, and Hurricane Sandy, a new bill was introduced in Congress on Friday.

Representative Jose Serrano (D-NY15) put forth a bill, now called "H.J. Res. 15″, that proposes "an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to repeal the twenty-second article of amendment, thereby removing the limitation on the number of terms an individual may serve as President".

According to GovTrack... http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/113/hjres15 ... it was then "[r]eferred to the House Committee on the Judiciary" (which was how it was given the name H.J. 15 — H.J. stands for House Judiciary). Further, "[t]his resolution was assigned to a congressional committee on January 4, 2013, which will consider it before possibly sending it on to the House or Senate as a whole".

So here we have one of the first bills introduced in the new Congressional session, which proposes removing term limits for the Presidency. Serrano has offered it before in 1997, 1999, 2001, 2003, 2005, 2007, 2009 [HJR 5] and 2011 [HJR 17]. Time to pay attention!

Apparently Clown King Obuma had nothing to do with the deficit... golly gee, who knew?

White House Press Secretary Jay ["Boy, am I Stupid"] Carney placed the blame for the $16.4 trillion national debt on Congress, as he again asserted that President Barack Obama will not negotiate on raising the debt ceiling.

"Nobody forced Congress to rack up the bills that it incurred," Carney told reporters on  Monday. "And it is an abdication of responsibility to say we're going to let the country default and cause global economic calamity simply because we're not getting what we want in terms of our ideological agenda."

The National Debt has increased by $5 trillion since Obama took office in 2009.

'Don't ask, don't tell' dischargees to receive full back pay from DOD
By Carlo Muñoz - 01/07/13

In a landmark settlement, the Pentagon has agreed to give full back pay to U.S. service members who were discharged due to their sexual orientation under the military's "Don't ask, don't tell" policy.

The payouts will be granted to service members dismissed from the military under the now-repealed policy on or after November 2004.

"This means so much to those of us who dedicated ourselves to the military, only to be forced out against our will for being who we are," former Air Force Staff Sgt. Richard Collins said in a statement from the American Civil Liberties Union, which brought the lawsuit.

Under "Don't ask," service members who were honorably discharged automatically had their separation pay cut in half.

The ACLU of New Mexico sued the Pentagon on behalf of 181 service members who were dismissed under the policy to recover their full pay. Each solider, sailor, airman and Marine in the case will receive, on average, a payout of $13,000, the ACLU said.

The Defense Department will pay a total of $2.4 million to the plaintiffs.
Federal law entitles service members to separation pay if they have been involuntarily and honorably discharged after completing at least six years of service, the ACLU said.

"There was absolutely no need to subject these service members to a double dose of discrimination by removing them from the armed forces in the first place, and then denying them this small benefit to ease the transition to civilian life," Laura Schauer Ives, managing attorney for the ACLU of New Mexico, said in Monday's statement.

Congress repealed DADT in 2010, allowing gay and lesbian service members to serve openly in the military for the first time. Reversing the policy was one of President Obama's first-term priorities.

[jarhead]

Why hell, if you were from Colorado and got kicked out in 1968 for smoking pot, lets give them the back pay they deserve from 1968 until now. After all, pot is legal in Co. now. Now we know why we are 16 trillion in debt

20 Ways America Has Begun to Reap What It Has Sown

By John Hawkins
1/8/2013


1) Our Congress passes bills that run into the thousands of pages; then we're surprised that the bills are full of loopholes, set asides for lobbyists and toxic clauses no one seemed to know about.

2) We've replaced telling the difference between right and wrong with legalisms; then we're surprised that people are always looking for loopholes and technicalities to get out of fulfilling their obligations.

3) Feminists denigrate men, tell them to behave more like women and are offended by chivalry; then they're surprised to find that our society has been inundated by passive, wimpy beta males.

4) Congress hasn't produced a budget in more than 3 years, most of the big bills don't go through the normal committee process, and parliamentary maneuvers are used to block debate and keep Republicans from offering amendments to bills; then we're surprised when we have gridlock, filibusters and massive fights over the debt limit.

5) We allow politicians to work as highly paid lobbyists after they leave Congress; then we're surprised when they give favorable treatment to companies they hope will make them wealthy after they leave Congress.

6) We demonize big business, pile on the regulations, raise taxes on job creators and treat successful people like the enemy; then we're surprised that the economy's not growing.

7) Our first priority when it comes to schools is catering to the teachers' unions, not educating our kids; then we're surprised at the poor quality of public education in our country.

8 ) We allow communists, terrorists, and people who hate America to be public university professors in this country; then we're surprised when our college students graduate without understanding how this country works and what made it great in the first place.

9) We celebrate victimhood; then we're surprised to see people faking hate crimes.

10) We have abundant oil supplies on our own soil that we don't drill; then we're surprised that gas prices are so high.

11) We reward people for not working with welfare, food stamps and countless other government programs; then we're surprised to have so many takers demanding that everyone else pay their way.

12) We allow public sector unions to exist and funnel tax dollars into political campaigns and collaborate with politicians; then we're surprised when the unions drive whole cities and soon, states, into bankruptcy with their exorbitant salaries and benefits.

13) We create gun free zones; then we're surprised when crazy people with guns go there to kill people because they know no one will be armed.

14) We gerrymander congressional districts to the point that it's practically impossible for most members of the House to be beaten by someone from the opposite party; then we're surprised when neither side can work together.

15) We set up rules that give existing unions every advantage over the companies that hire them; then we're surprised when those companies start to inevitably fall apart.

16) We worry more about children's self-esteem than their performance; then we're surprised when college kids aren't ready for the working world.

17) We encourage multiculturalism, don't teach patriotism, and treat American citizenship like it's valueless; then we're surprised as we become ever more segmented and divided as a people.

18) We elect and re-elect politicians who lie to our faces, see prostitutes, use hard drugs and have affairs; then we're surprised when we find most politicians care more about keeping their cushy jobs than helping the country.

19) We denigrate Christianity at every opportunity, mock people of honor, and openly scoff at people who talk about morals; then we're surprised at how dishonest and nasty our society has become.

20) We have a sky high corporate tax rate, a ridiculous legal system that exposes corporations to abusive and time-consuming lawsuits, and the most progressive income tax system in the Western world; then we're surprised when American companies move overseas.

No Kidding: Democrats Want Even More Tax Increases to Offset Yet ANOTHER New Fiscal Crisis, Don't Expect Overspending to Be Curtailed

This is what you voted for, Democrat voters. No whining about smaller paychecks, even if Obama promised (wink, wink, nudge, nudge) that only the super rich would be ravaged. I just received my first paycheck of 2013, and $32 more dollars have been siphoned away. I'm paid bi-weekly, so that will be roughly another 832 bucks (minimum) that I won't have this year to pay my mortgage, buy food, et cetera.

At this point for 2013, 77% of Americans are taking home less of their hard-earned dollars and giving it to the feds so that the reckless spendthrifts in the federal government can continue their wanton spending spree. The federal tax coffers need to be filled and there just aren't enough millionaires and billionaires to do that. Suck it up and give Obama more, middle class... he won, you know.

And they want a whole heck of a lot more. Because ANOTHER fiscal crisis is coming. Yes, ANOTHER!!!

We still don't have a federal/congressional annual budget for the umpteenth year in a row — this annual budget, by the way, is required by law, but what the heck. House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan asked the White House this week if they will be missing the deadline AGAIN.

Oh, Paul, you're far more diplomatic than I would be...

Of course, President Zero and "Dingy" Harry Reid and "Stretch" Pelosi have NO intentions whatsoever of submitting a real budget, a feasible budget, a responsible budget. And why should they, when Democrats get the billions that they want through deception and bullying and leftwing thuggery and liberal media water-carrying, whether or not they submit and stick to an annual budget?

John F. Kennedy would be mocked and eviscerated as a racist, greedy, fiscal conservative and corporate tool by the leftist media and Democrats in DC if he were alive today and spoke these words from his 1963 budget message to Congress, used them to challenge Obama's spend-tax-spend-tax agenda:

"'Lower rates of taxation will stimulate economic activity and so raise the levels of personal and corporate income as to yield within a few years an increased – not a reduced -flow of revenues to the federal government.' – John F. Kennedy, Jan. 17, 1963, Annual Budget Message to Congress for fiscal year 1964."

This new ObamaCare tax hike on dental braces shouldn't be a big thing for liberal parents who embrace government-run health care, as I understand that all their children have perfect teeth.

Question: When do struggling middle-class Americans start SAVING some money under the odious ObamaCare / Unaffordable Care Act?

Answer: Are pigs flying yet?

So sorry, Kids... getting braces hurts more than it used to thanks to Commie Barack.  Obuma stuck it to the middle class again by taxing braces and limiting the cap on Flexible Spending Accounts.  The new Obumacare regulations will affect middle class families making just over $53,000 the most.

Braces aren't the only thing being hit by this ridiculous law.  My daughter took our granddaughter to the dentist; she had to have sealants put on her back molars (a procedure she's been getting done since her adult teeth came in to protect them against cavities because they have such deep grooves in them)... dentist told her that this procedure is now being taxed as a "medical device"....WTF?  They spread an eraser size amount of a clear gel on each tooth and then stick an ultraviolet blue light in her mouth for a few seconds to dry the stuff... this is worthy of an additional tax?  ....highway robbery is what it really is on the part of the most corrupt regime in the history of our country.
