Down The Toilet

The whole orchestrated impeachment march by the Democrats is really nothing but a temper tantrum.

They really don't like President Trump, and they will seek "any means necessary" to remove him from office.

The Democrats do not care that President Trump was elected by the American people. You see, they know better than the "deplorables" which liter our nation.

There is absolutely NO EVIDENCE to support such an action, and everyone knows it.

Thankfully, the impeachment, and tons of the taxpayers hard earned cash (recall we are 23 TRILLION in debt), is going right down the toilet.

I hope the American people respond to this expensive charade, really an attack on our system of government, with a vengeance at the voting booth in 2020.

Order A Screwdriver

There are very few tools in the toolbox to deal with this sort of fiscal catastrophe.

As Zero Hedge notes, "As the past 8 years have shown, only debt cures more debt, so expect nothing to change."

Zero Hedge also provides evidence the CBO is yet another agency with a leftist political agenda, as the ponder: Also, we find it just a little confusing why the CBO never warned of an imminent "fiscal crisis" over the past 8 years when total US debt doubled, increasing by $10 trillion under the previous administration.

CBO Warns Of Fiscal Catastrophe As A Result Of Exponential Debt Growth In The U.S

There may be one tool in the toolbox other than increasing the debt!

Maybe the bartender can bring us a screwdriver?

Salvation of the State

 

"Knowledge will forever govern ignorance, and a people who mean to be their own Governors, must arm themselves with the power knowledge gives." --James Madison, 1822

The world is on fire; without question.  The list of items headlining media outlets of truth are mind boggling to be sure.  Among the long very long list of worrisome items for the citizenry to absorb are the following:

* The US National Debt grew more than a trillion dollars last year, and is now at approximately 18 trillion.  This is just the number released by the government, with the actual number far exceeding this amount. The debt could never be repaid without extensive monetary operations, which cannot be effectively engaged upon with the horrendous economy we currently have.  Monetizing the debt, currently underway, is only postponing the real pain.

* The economic woes in China are deepening, with the government initiating a "stealth QE" to combat a liquidity crisis.  If you think their woes would not have an affect on our economy, you are mistaken.

* The number of Americans on food stamps has eclipsed 46 million, which is approximately 15% of the total population.  There are long term issues resulting from potential workers remaining out of the workforce, on the public dole, for an extended period of time if one seeks a fully employed population.

* The unemployment rate is reported to be decreasing, signaling good economic conditions.  Nothing could be further from the truth.  The administration changed the calculations on how the number is figured for starters, and have been counting part time workers within the number.  The real unemployment rate is in the low teens, and has been for several years, the longest such period of grief since The Great Depression.

* The Russian Bear is growling, with Russia flexing muscle by invading sovereign nations, causing a major disturbance in the Ukraine and creating plenty of economic concerns involving our dollar as we try to implement sanctions on them. Of course, there is no plan or policy formatted to deal with the issue, so we are forced to react to the hand Vladimir Putin deals us.  Some reset?

* A Malasyian Boeing jetliner which vanished from the sky in March remains unaccounted for, and nobody seems to care.  The media has moved on, and so have the public.

*The southern border remains wide open by design, with the Obama administration orchestrating the rush of tens of thousands of folks, inclusive of children, to enter the country through the border. An effort to share the wealth and create large numbers of citizens dependent on governmental assistance, this action was essentially an immigration reform bill which bypassed a vote in Congress.  Nice trick by the progressives without the knowledge of the majority of voters, except among those lovely children entering the US through the southern border were untold numbers of terrorists, who may have been trafficking various forms of lethal weaponry.

James Madison was quite correct.  Bureaucrats in Washington, some who are adverse to the principles which were central to the founders, are governing, and transforming, America right under the nose of those among the citizenry who Aldous Huxley noted would be drunk on a sea of irrelevance.  If in doubt, please the following segment from "The O'Reilly Factor", where correspondent Jesse Watters invites college students to enter his, or our, world.

America is in real trouble.  Remember those famous words from the inaugural address by President John F. Kennedy, "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country?"  There is a responsibility that comes with being a citizen of this great country, and it requires more than keeping up to date with pop culture, obtaining any and every entitlement available and adopting nihilism as a philosophical doctrine.

 

As Madison accurately noted, our citizenry must arm themselves with the power knowledge gives, to help ensure the future not only for ourselves, but our children and grandchildren.  After all, as the inscription above the main entrance to Nebraska's beautiful State Capitol reads: "The Salvation of the State is Watchfulness in the Citizen."

Living Lies

Without question, the average household in America, at least those that are employed, are working harder and longer to provide the same standard of living of their household from just a decade ago. 

As such, even with expanding outlets, finding time to access the news of the day is tough. For the average individual who is not well schooled on political maneuvering, the degree of difficulty of deciphering the real story is almost impossible. 

Therefore, with the mainstream media continuously misrepresenting the facts, the regular working folks have absolutely no idea the level of corruption and deceit of the Obama administration.

In short, the lie to the American public on a daily basis.

Isn't funny that Obama sometimes knows about local events and stories that support his progressive agenda but finds out about the devastating effects of his presidency on the evening news?  Scandals involving Fast and Furious, The IRS and now the Veterans Administration; found out by the same news reports you and I did.

You think I kid you:



With the country 18 trillion dollars in debt, it is obvious Obama  does not require an advisory staff of thousands to give him information of the goings on if he is gaining this knowledge from The CBS Evening News, which, sadly, is nothing more than an extension of his communications department.

While the low information crowd may think President Obama is simply disengaged, the reality is quite the contrary.  Obama knows exactly what is going on, no doubt orchestrating much of it, and does not "find things out" from the news, like the folks.

From the Cloward and Piven Strategy of crashing our economic system through overload to implementation of the theories of Saul Alinsky, among those, pushing falsities with such repetition they break to the counterside, then are considered true or no longer relevant.

Obama is operating a masterful campaign of deception on the citizenry, transforming this once great nation into a big government collective, but time may be running out for him.  While I continue to be puzzled that Obama was able to win a second term, it certainly seems the lengthy scandal train has picked up enough of the citizenry that the trust the people have placed in him has been severely damaged.

The Obama lies, plentiful and historic, in which many politicians from both sides have enabled, have placed our nation in great peril.  The appearances of an awakening citizenry would be welcomed with great enthusiasm, as time is short in effort to protect Uncle Sam from enemies, foreign and domestic, who seek our demise. 

The enemies referenced above would include those who are against our Constitution and seek the transformation of The United States of America.

A Measure of Success

While literally in midst of another domestic terrorist attack in Washington, DC at the Naval ship yard, in what can only be described as a classless and appalling action, President Obama took to the podium in front of a staged crowd marking the five year anniversary of the financial crisis to take credit for saving America from a a depression.

The top priority since his tenure in the oval office began, Obama reiterated his intention of focusing like a laser beam in his effort in building our economy so it works for everyone and laying out a new foundation for economic growth and prosperity. Take a listen:



With an adoring mainstream media failing to once again to question the assessment of the president, the extreme lies and misrepresentations of this speech cannot go unchallenged.

Obama, through the passage of Dodd-Frank, has left most banks paralyzed, as he blames the money center banks for creating the housing crisis through unsavory lending and underwriting practices.  Never mind that much of the blame falls on the goings on surrounding the Community Reinvestment Act, which sought to provide loans to lower income individuals and families who under normal established guidelines would fail to qualify.  ACORN, a community activist organization Obama supported and worked with, threatened legal action and public ridicule through protest for those considered racist banks who refused to dismiss best underwriting practices and engage in lending to unqualified applicants.

Dodd-Frank also provides consumer protection for those engaging in commerce with banks, given the deemed incompetence of the consumer derived by the government.  Forget buyer beware, Obama and big brother are here to help, guiding (and restricting) what banking actions of commerce the consumer will be allowed to engage in. Dodd-Frank does nothing but restrict banking opportunities all while increasing costs of the consumers.  It is about nothing but government control, and limits the individual liberty and economic freedom of the citizenry.

In addition, while we are at it, the assault on property rights also adds costs and restricts freedom of property owners through EPA implemented regulatory action, restricted permitting and zoning regulations implemented under Agenda 21.  Has anyone replaced an HVAC system lately?

President Obama spoke of how his efforts jump started the flow of credit.  Through government entitlements, such as HARP, scores of homeowners have refinanced their mortgages at lower interest rates as banks beholden to the government have been directed to provide this opportunity.  The lost money is absorbed by the taxpayers.

Most property owners, due to underwater property values, facing restricted credit and unstable employment, are unable to qualify for loans without government assistance.  Credit for small businesses, and mortgage loans free from governmental intrusion, remain quite difficult to obtain.

Some thirteen trillions dollars have been spent, actually borrowed, to "stabilize the economy" and create jobs, and although Obama has no idea, this has been a colossal failure in large measure to his horrendous economic policies. Remove the FED buying bonds, begin some tapering, and see how stable the economy is.

While the administration trumpets a lowering unemployment rate, it should be noted that figure has been grossly manipulated.  Millions of Americans, unable to find work, have quit looking, and thus have fallen from being counted in the data sample, thus allowing the rate to fall.  The real story can be found by looking at the Labor Force Participation Rate, which tells us that the amount of our citizenry fully employed, not withstanding steady population growth, is at levels not seen since 1978.

 

The real statistics regarding the economy are staggering, and if the workforce was equal to when Obama was sworn in, the unemployment rate would be closer to 14%.  Among the jobs Obama has claimed to create, a mind boggling number have been part time, in large measure due to companies limiting the hours of their employees in preparation of the implementation of Obamacare.  Obama championed the flagship legislation he spearheaded in Obamacare, the current top ranked job killer in America. 

 

In a related statistic, ZeroHedge.com illustrates economic realities even the low information crowd can comprehend; reporting a record number of restaurant workers while restaurant companies report decreasing sales.  Something is wrong with this picture.

 

Obama noted an erosion of the middle class, unaware his policies are the culprit.  Families are working harder than ever for less as median family income is lower than when he took office, coupled with rising costs in health care, food and of course gas, which has been over $3 a gallon, in contrast to a cost of $1.83 upon him taking office, for over 1000 days.

 

In fact, Obama highlighted his efforts to insist on new technologies to end our addiction to foreign oil.  Given that commentary, it is puzzling that this included reducing domestic drilling where possible, with a byproduct of a reduction in jobs, and increasing purchases from foreign countries.  Obama proclaimed we sought to become Brazil's biggest customer for oil.  Cheers!

 

Higher education has been an item Obama has focused on, even having Sallie Mae taken over by the federal government,  Sadly, the cost of higher education has never been higher and issues abound.

 

Much of the stimulus money went to unions organization and green job initiatives, many of whom are now bankrupt. Bridges and roads earmarked for repair remain in need as the money went elsewhere.

 

Obama was thrilled to save Detroit, except he did not.  The city of Detroit has gone bankrupt, and General Motors has been unable to repay Uncle Sam for the bailout.  The famed Pontiac Motor Division fails now to exist, and green energy vehicles Obama forced GM to produce have not produced a profit.  In a brazen derailment from contract law, bond holders had their money stolen while auto unions were padded.  Dealerships that were closed were over 80% owned by GOP donors, a political hit.  Ford, meanwhile, turned down the bailout and is outperforming GM. 

When Obama adds it up, he sees a tremendous success. Given his ambition to fundamentally transform the United States of America, his presiding over our decline may be measured as such.  For those who appreciate free markets, individual liberty and economic freedom, his tenure has been catastrophic.

But the lies and misrepresentation did not end there.  Yet to come was the all too common bitterly partisan and divisive attack on those meddling kids, otherwise known as Republicans.



It is worth noting, again, that for the fist 18 months of the Obama administration, until the election in Massachusetts of Scott Brown, democrats held a super majority. Better stated, the republicans may as well have played golf everyday because they alone could stop no legislative action. Zero.

At this point, the GOP has the house, but the democrats still control the presidency and the senate. Furthermore, against rhetoric to the contrary, a long list of progressive GOP members refrain from contesting Obama on anything, even some having supported much of his plans, inclusive of Obamacare.

The economic chaos Obama speaks of has been caused by his wreckless spending, exploding entitlements and attacks on small business and free markets.  Keep in mind it is Obama and his party are and have been in control presiding in the decline of America.

With respect to those who are offering opposition to Obama and his collective ambitions, I joined millions of others in electing representatives charged with defeating his initiatives.  It is Obama who has tanked the economy, not a handful of GOP members who oppose his socialistic goals.

Obama is emphatic that he will not negotiate with the GOP on the budget issues, which is odd coming from a man who claimed he would negotiate with any terrorist on the planet.  The GOP always get hammered for not compromising, but it is Obama who will not negotiate.

Yes, when you add it up, freedom and prosperity has been lost under Obama's presidency.  Five years after he implemented his strategy, with limited elected opposition, the country is far from economically stable and cannot pay its bills.  Seemingly under control of the administration, the FED is monetizing our bloated debt, crushing savers and decreasing asset wealth in what has to be considered the reaching of Obama's goal of the transformation of wealth.

The media can cheer Obama on, but those of us in the middle class out here working know what the scorecard says.  The economic conditions as a result of the actions taken by Obama have significantly reduced freedom and prosperity, the opportunity to achieve it, and have decreased the standard of living for the greater majority of our citizens.

How is success measured in this case.  For Obama, presiding over the transformation of the United States is considered a rousing success.  I consider those actions unconstitutional, and therefore seek his impeachment.

Handed A Gift

In our world gone mad, where the obfuscation of truth is commonplace and propaganda reins supreme, it is sadly shocking when an individual speaking truth to power seizes an opportunity to demonstrate with malice toward none the importance of the founding principles from which our country was founded.

Standing just a few feet from President Obama, Dr. Benjamin Carson, a world renowned neurosurgeon and the Director of Pediatric Neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital, spoke at The National Prayer Breakfast this week and issued a common sense rationale regarding the escalating erosion of freedoms that are placing America on a path to darkness.

Carson struck a chord in the enlightening speech, stunning in its simplicity.



Dr. Carson attacked political correctness, our education system, Obamacare and our national debt, and there is no doubt Obama absorbed every last word.  However, before we get our hopes up, we must understand the objectives of President Obama have been and remain in stark contrast to the opinions of Dr. Carson.

As Dr. Carson roamed on a range of topics, each centered on freedom, free market capitalism, personal responsibility and opportunity.  Unfortunately, Obama is restricting freedom and limiting choice through an elitist oppressive government.  For example, the debt is a ball and chain on every American and is handicapping our economic growth. Health care run by the government limits choice, restricts competitive incentives and is inefficient.

The comments by Dr. Carson have gone viral.  Kimberly Guilfoyle and the gang over at The Five discussed the comments, with Greg Gutfield really hitting Obama. Dr. Carson was also a guest on Hannity, speaking with Sean Hannity about the speech.



Thank you Dr. Carson for using the platform you had this week to promote the founding principles which made our country great. If America was listening, you handed them a gift. Gifted hands indeed.

No Participation In System Crash

The top story in the political arena this week is commonly referred to as the fiscal cliff; a collection of negative economic realities encroaching upon America that time cannot stop.

While these realities are incredibly harsh, the issues are sadly, but not unexpectedly, being used as political fisticuffs.  You see, progressives on both sides are arguing about where the money should be spent, rather than responding with fiduciary responsibility in an effort to prohibit Uncle Sam from suffering catastrophic financial injury.

Most of America thinks our elected officials are working diligently in an effort to curb the affects of the approaching storm, enacting policy changes to mitigate the damage and prohibit future economic disasters. Outside of a handful of conservatives, they are sadly mistaken.

Our old friend Larry Kudlow suggests President Obama does not want to see America regress into another recession.  We rarely part company with Kudlow, but since the president has been eagerly implementing policies that punish success while creating a culture of dependency, Obama not only does not care about a second recession during his watch, he is actively enabling it.

In fact, the Democrats, giddy over the election results, are seeking political gain at the expense of the American public.  Any and every opportunity to spend more money in effort to collapse the system into a new socialistic structure is being pursued, and scapegoats in the form of non compliant Republicans are being targeted.


Grover Norquist/Photo/AP 

On cue from the Obama administration, the media has once again brought Americans For Tax Reform President Grover Norquist forward as the boogie man, creating a straw man argument. We thoroughly covered the shenanigans in the targeting of Norquist back in June of 2011.  Norquist gathered signatures of most of the elected republicans to pledge to not raise taxes under any circumstances.

Norquist is under fire, and is not taking the attacks lying down. Sadly, some republicans have announced they will break their pledge, hoping to save their political future. From my perspective, republicans who raise my taxes have no political future.

Contrary to the media, the fiscal cliff is not about Norquist.  Without question, President Bush spent way too much money, but Obama, with control of the House of Representatives and the Senate, ran up the tab exponentially with little to zero return on or of investment.  By design.

Obama has a mindset that America stole from other countries to accumulate its wealth, and that wrong must be righted with the vehicle for correction being the transfer of wealth.  Domestically, Obama holds the same "you didn't build that" philosophy and aims to transfer wealth from those who have it those who do not.

Don't look now, but Obama and his progressive cohorts have been quite effective thus far.  Although Dodd-Frank was quite significant, Obamacare is the central legislative act for wealth transformation.

Given our amount of debt, we are already over the fiscal cliff and arguments to the contrary are mind games. In fact, without government intervention, we are and have been in recession.

The course of action for republicans, and America, is to call Obama on the table.  After Uncle Sam has run up to the max limit every credit card in sight, rather than continue to allow the government to steal our money, they need to walk back all their negative return investments and excessive entitlements.  The GOP should not be party to joining in any balanced objectives, otherwise known as tax increases.

Unfortunately, Obama and the progressives do not share the same objectives sound economic thinkers possess.  Under their direction, we will be driven to bankruptcy as our system collapses into a socialistic big government nanny state with controlling mechanisms keeping the citizenry under thumb; robbed of incentive, dignity and hope.

Free market capitalism remains the best path to prosperity, inclusive of limited government.

Unleash The Squirmin' Dogs

It seems as if we are watching an upcoming train wreck as the Euro experiment marches toward collapse.  A plethora of plans have been implemented to rescue the ambitious alliance, but all have been abysmal failures.  The more the plans fail, the more the planners plan.

Beyond member governments engaged in socialism spending beyond their means and expanding entitlements beyond economic logic, what is traveling to the ash heap of history is their loss of their member sovereignty. Central planners never want a crisis, and we sure do have one, to go to waste.

While economic moves considered sound to establish stability and save the Euro may sound reasonable, unfortunately they likely mask the bold ambitions of the technocrats to slow creep control over the member states and their citizens.

Under such control, individual freedom, inspiration and the entrepreneurial spirit is crushed, robbing the people of their identity. As Nigel Farage so eloquently put forth in 2010, if you rob the people of their democracy, then all they are left with is nationalism and violence.  We got plenty of violence, as the citizens engage in civil unrest.

Who the hell do you think you are? Farage queried the EU administrators as they responded to collapsing member nations that it would be inappropriate for them to hold elections until their budgets were agreed upon. Democracy destroyed.

Sound far fetched?  Last Thursday, CNBC reported that Ex-ECB Chief Jean-Claude Trichet unveiled a bold plan to save the Euro.  Would yet another new plan present a blueprint for an escape of the wide ranging spiral the Euro is involved in or would such a plan steal more Democracy from the member citizenry?

The first paragraph of the story is alarmingly informative.  Please read: 

Europe could strengthen its monetary union by giving European politicians the power to declare a sovereign state bankrupt and take over its fiscal policy, the former head of the European Central Bank said on Thursday in unveiling a bold proposal to salvage the euro.

For the governing body, seizing this amount of authority would be similar to taking a country over without firing a shot. 

As Farrage asked, who do these people think they are? Free market capitalism, the best path to prosperity, is not free to work for member nations under this type of smothering control. Under the Euro, wealth has been destroyed under massive spending and entitlement programs, and the technocratic banker is in charge and has members under his thumb.

It would be hard to imagine that the central planners, given the history of their efforts, are foolish enough to think it will work this time.  The alternative, and the truth, is that the technocrats are aspiring to gain further control and are knowingly crashing the system.

Here in America, the same types of planners are now in charge, implementing the Cloward and Piven strategy.  Decisions that seem irrational to most, are part of the plan to steal and transform wealth, establishing a governmental control over the citizenry.  While Europe may be beyond  salvage, America has time to right the ship, although time is running dangerously short.

Freeing member nations from excessive taxation and regulation and having to adhere to budgetary control and allowing the pursuit of their own prosperity is the answer.  Those who continue to implement a socialistic policy of a cradle to grave nanny state will ultimately fail. Countries who embrace freedom, both for individuals and markets, will prosper.

Alarm bells are appropriately ringing everywhere.  This is not the time to turn to technocratic regulators, like Jean-Cluade Trichet, who claim to have a plan.

This is the time to seek freedom and embrace capitalism. It is that simple.

Grave Trouble from Invited Enemies

From a variety of angles, America is under attack.

Recently, economic freedoms have come under siege as debt levels explode and bailouts practically become rule of law. 

Religious freedoms are also under attack, and these attacks not only come from delusional foreign governments like Iran, but from our own government. In fact, the news reports of this Sunday offer evidence.

Certainly, however, foremost in the mind of most Americans would be the attack on 9-11 and the global war on terror. Contrary to the opinion of the Obama administration, this war is far from over.

In fact, America remains under attack from enemies foreign, and domestic.

Regrettably, evidence of these attacks from within have been present during both the Bush and Obama administrations, exploding under Obama, causing grave concerns.

Generally, I supported George W. Bush. There were three main issues I had with his two terms; excessive spending beyond the necessary war expenditures, abandoning the free market system to save the free market system and the lack of adequate attention to our southern border. I never quite got the aggressive assault on Compean and Ramos. It was a tough spot, and easy to armchair quarterback now, but I think Bush gave far to much to American Islamic groups who portrayed themselves a merchants for peace when the seemingly obviously had ulterior objectives. In doing so, the prosecution of the wars became victim of political correctness, rather than simply kicking their ass and winning.

While the Obama administration deserves kudos for killing Osama Bin Laden and the aggressive use of the drone program, Obama has been horrendous in dealing with the global war on terror, the borders and has welcomed infiltration of militant Islamic groups, inclusive of the Muslim Brotherhood, who are entangled with many of our opponents.

Glenn Beck has put together a documentary chronicling the extreme seriousness of how enemies of our country are being invited to infiltrate our government. Leave your political persuasion at the door, as both parties have extensive issues in this regard. The video shows how we are in the fight of our lifetimes, and time is of the extreme essence.

The Santelli Slam

President Obama, unable to run his campaign on the merits of his first term since it has been nothing short of abysmal, has resorted to tactics unbecoming the Grinch. Obama is attacking anybody and everybody, but perhaps the worst aspect of his antics is his economic commentary surrounding what is known as "The Buffett Rule".

Generally speaking, President Obama indicates that Mr. Buffett pays less taxes than his secretary, which simply is not the case. It has been reported that Mr. Buffett's secretary does not make enough annual salary to reach the 25% bracket; therefore, she pays taxes at the 15% rate. Mr. Buffett, provided he makes a salary over approximately $150,000, pays 25% minimum on his income, which is more than his secretary. It should be noted that Buffett makes the majority of his income on dividends from his investments, including his company Berkshire Hathaway, and dividends are taxed at 15%, equal to his secretary.

President Obama is not being square with the American people when he misrepresents the facts in such a deceitful way. Most Americans are not shareholders of Berkshire Hathaway and do not engage in reviewing the annual report and therefore, fail to recognize the lies being told them. It is noted I am a longtime Berkshire Hathaway shareholder and read the annual reports.
The fine editorial page at Investors Business Daily examines this mess further.

Imagine we did hit the most wealthy with additional taxes in an effort to force them to "pay their fair share". Where would that get us? CNBC's Rick Santelli, father of the TEA Party, gives us an earful from his perch at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange.



The entire argument Obama is presenting to the American people on this subject is incorrect, and he is well aware of it. This speak volumes about his character, since America is on the precipice of financial disaster. Obama's actions tell us he is much more concerned about being re-elected than solving the critical economic issues of our time.

Hitting the extremely wealthy with a heavier tax burden will not solve problems, instead creating a host of them. If taxed a higher rate, these folks (investors) will not be incentivized to earn more and will invest and spend less; therefore, creating less commerce which in turn results in less tax revenue for Uncle Sam and hurts those Obama claims he is attempting to assist. As Santelli points out, the impact on solving the massive debt issues would hardly be measurable.
This whole level of discussion is nothing more than a campaign gimmick, one that divides our citizens in class warfare over a false premise. With our country in such great economic peril, I find these actions by our President and his surrogates nothing short of disgraceful.

Economic Catastrophe

Bahl's Blog calls for the immediate resignation of President Barack Obama and his entire economic team, who have attempted to transfer the wealth of this nation by subscribing to the Cloward and Piven theory and directing the American citizenry to economic ruin.

Free Market Capitalism, something the Obama administration is against, is the best path to prosperity. Unfortunately, we cannot wait until November 2012. Tonight, given his socialistic economic policies placing this country in great peril, President Barack Obama should immediately yield to sounder minds and step aside.

Epic Failure

The National Republican Senatorial Committee does not find the lack of shovel ready jobs entertaining, and in the following video ad, it is clear President Obama and his Progressive lemmings have their heads in the sand:



Anyone awake can seemingly conclude the Obama administration is a dismal failure at strengthening the economy and creating jobs. However, not only should you consider the unthinkable, you should come to terms with the fact that Obama has done a fantastic job.

The disconnect here is that most Americans think strengthening the economy, creating jobs and promoting liberty, prosperity and freedom is a worthy objective and one Obama aspires to achieve. For our President, it is not. Obama has stepped up to lead the parade of citizens who seek to destroy free market capitalism and America's exceptionalism.

Obama's policies seem against common sense, but the objective is to crash the system into a socialist structure with no escape. It is about the transfer of wealth, in the name of fairness for social justice. Punishing winners and rewarding losers.

In the aftermath of a very disappointing debt ceiling "crisis" conclusion, over at American Thinker, they are thinking the same way I am.. Cloward and Piven 2.0. Please follow the link to learn about a Cloward and Piven paradise, consume the thought and gather an understanding of that process. Once you understand the objective, past Obama administration decisions you thought made no sense will present you the path they are taking us.

Please see the following from ParanoidPerplexity:



As I said, given your objective is to implement the Cloward and Piven strategy, Obama is doing a fantastic job. If you value freedom, the prospect of this socialist eutopia is horrifying. In November 2012, it is liberty vs. tyranny. Run to your voting precinct, and pray you can still make a difference!

Dictator in Chief

Michele Bachmann claims Obama is a one term President. Sarah Palin called Obama a lame duck President. One thing is for sure, the negotiations surrounding the debt crisis has brought out the worst in President Obama, and his poll numbers are diving. While the President is in serious trouble and it may seem his presidency is becoming irrelevant, I fear this administration bears watching like never before.

President Obama claimed his intent to transform America. Michele Obama said Obama knew we would have to change our conversation, change our history and change our traditions. Along with the Progressives holding office, a complicit news media and the extremely lengthy tentacles of George Soros, they are closer than ever to pulling it off. Crashing the system Cloward and Piven style into a structured socialist system they have been busy constructing for decades is their goal.

America, asleep at the switch no doubt, is awakening to the extreme actions of the Obama administration. As Obama sits on the brink of launching this transformational change beyond the point of no return, the American public does not like what they see. But Obama is not going to back down quietly, his arrogance will not allow for it. And he has grander plans anyhow.

Even though Obama has been actively working around Congress from the beginning behind his slew of Czars and Cass Sunstein and is in defiance against Congress in the War Powers Act, his imperialist dreams would not allow him to formally sidestep Congress during the debt crisis en route to his own dictatorship. Or would they?



As appalled as I am by Obama's comments, the crowd cheering on the emergence of a dictatorship is unsettling to say the least. Are we in fact in danger of an Imperial Presidency? Indeed. Economist Jerry Bowyer and FOX News Andrew Napolitano discuss the possibility of Obama dodging the 14th Amendment. Take a listen.



While many have not been paying close enough attention, this type of behavior by Obama is not new. Authors Ken Blackwell and Ken Klukowski join Sean Hannity to discuss their book "The Blueprint". Blackwell explains Obama may perhaps only a Supreme Court Judge away from forcing this upon us. Take a listen:



America is in real trouble as freedom and liberty are at stake. It would be simple to say we are lacking leadership, but in reality we have an American impostor as Commander in Chief, an individual that does not see the fruited plain in the same way you and I visualize it. An economic neophyte, Obama is actively functioning to use economic destruction as the drive train in crashing the capitalist system, righting perceived wrongs through the transformation of wealth.

This action simply must be thwarted by any legal means possible. Backed by the TEA party, the Congressional Republicans are the only hope to block our demise. I pray they stand firm. May the words Ronald Reagan resonate the halls of Congress:

"It is time to reawaken this industrial giant, to get government back within its means, and to lighten our punitive tax burden. And these will be our first priorities, and on these principles, there will be no compromise".

As this debt ceiling negotiation plays itself out, keep a keen eye on the other hand as our President is boxed into a corner, a spot he is unfamiliar being in.

@Speaker Boehner

Idiots At Large

Word on the so called street is that the Republicans are losing the debt ceiling debate in the public arena. The mid term elections last fall spoke volumes, so I promise you it is not the case.

It is not for the lack of trying. Not only are the Progressives (both parties) telling lies, but so is the uniformed media elites. Please see the following from MSNBC:



In fact, Rep. Brooks biography indicates he graduated from Duke University in three years with a double major in political science and economics, with highest honors in economics. I have a BS in Economics and trust me, it was not walk in the park.

Is the media uniformed, or are they actively promoting an agenda?

Ms. Brewer is notorious for breaking a heel on national television, but beyond this being priceless, it is all telling. Certainly she is accomplished, as her biography indicates she is a Remembrance Scholar and 1996 magna cum laude graduate of Syracuse University's S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communication and SU's Honors Program.

Since we can conclude she is not an idiot moonlighting as a cable news host, we come to the conclusion the media left is presenting an nonfactual case to the viewing public, all 360 of them, which violates the public trust in "news organizations".

For the left, winning the debate on the merits is not possible, so politicians join with their media partners to craft a false narrative that works well in in quick unchallenged sound bites. A recent example of this is President Obama declaring he had not been presented with a plan in terms of debt reduction (Ryan's Roadmap).

Unfortunately for them, while they may win battles along the way, the truth always wins the war. It is indeed time to stand in the light.

In this time of peril, many have been thinking of Ronald Reagan, and it may be that time once again. The Gipper had these liberals figured out many moons ago, and don't forget it.

Well, the trouble with our liberal friends is not that they are ignorant, but that they know so much that isn’t so. -Ronald Reagan

Boiling Tea

Through the actions of many elected officials on both sides of the isle over a long period of time, extended recklessly by the Democratic leadership of the Congress and a President bent on social justice through the redistribution of wealth, our country finds itself on the verge of financial ruin. In a stunning episode of arrogance, our President is playing politics, needlessly scaring our senior community and simply lying to the American people.

From the front page of the Monday edition of Investor's Business Daily:

"SHOW ME A PLAN in terms of what you're doing in terms of debt and deficit reduction," said President Obama at a White House news conference Friday. "If they show me a serious plan I'm ready to move even if it requires me to make some tough decisions.

In this small statement, we can learn just about everything we need to know at this critical time.

Backtracking for a moment, we recall President Obama and the Democrats had control of both Houses and the Presidency for 18 months, running up mind boggling debt. The Senate has not presented a budget during this period, and President Obama proposed a budget which increased the debt and was so extreme it got no support, from the Democrats!

The debt ceiling debate, which everyone pointed to as the first test of the Republican House after the mid terms last fall, appears to only have sneaked up on President Obama while he was playing golf and failing to create jobs.

Republican Congressman Paul Ryan recently released his Roadmap for Recovery, which detailed a plan to reign in the out of control spending, only to be insulted by a condescending President Obama in a press conference. In addition, Democrat Erskine Bowles joined former Republican Senator Alan Simpson on a bipartisan commission, who came up with recommendations Obama ignored. South Carolina Senator Jim DeMint has put forth "Cut, Cap and Balance" plan, which passed the House tonight 234-190. So, here are three plans, but I gather they are not considered serious by Obama, since they do not match the redistributive tax increasing wealth punishing route he prefers.

That the President is set to make some tough decisions demonstrates the level of arrogance in the White House. The President, along with Nancy Pelosi, has spent more than all other Presidents combined. See the following chart:

Having spent us into the stratosphere, the President is now willing to backtrack a few hundred million, which is almost meaningless. This over a decade time frame, long after we throw him and his arrogant incompetence out of office.

Many are concerned about a stock market collapse if we do not raise the debt ceiling. The same concerns were prevalent during the TARP debate. When an agreement went south, the market sold off hard. But TARP was the wrong decision. The market will not like Cut, Cap and Balance at first either, but after it, and our creditors, recognize we are taking the necessary steps to correct he problem, the market will rise after knowing the right long term decision was made.

Cut, Cap and Balance is the way to go. Reagan would be behind it in spades. How do I know?

Quoting The Gipper, "It is time to reawaken this industrial giant, to get government back within its means, and to lighten our punitive tax burden. And these will be our first priorities, and on these principles, there will be no compromise."

No Compromise on Financial Principles

Grover Norquist, President of Americans for Tax Reform, has all the sudden seemingly got everyone all fatootsed by ATR's Taxpayer Protection Pledge.

A few weeks back, my Uncle, a liberal Democrat to be sure, sent word of his displeasure, wondering how a Republican can sign a pledge to follow an individual or organizations wishes irregardless of current events? I am left bewildered by the thought of his ignorance of the extensive tentacles of George Soros.

Van Jones, the smooth talking former Obama Green Jobs Czar and a committed Communist, slams the pledge:

"There's nothing wrong with having an orientation that you are reluctant to raise taxes. That is not the problem. The problem is, when you surrender your judgement as an elected official who has taken an oath to the Americna people to a single individual and sign a separate loyalty pledge away from the U.S. Constitution, that says 'no matter what happens in my country I will never let America increase tax revenues.' I think that's wrong."

Jones is a smart guy and has a point, but in his actions diverts from his thought process as he is signed, sealed and delivered for Obama, who is arrogantly circumventing the Constitution on what seems to be a weekly basis.

Former President Bill Clinton has even joined the chorus of critics, no doubt in timely deliverance as the debt ceiling date of proclaimed apocalypse approaches. The Democrats are eager to go back to the tax levels of the Clinton years, but forget about the trillions of dollars of senseless entitlement spending both parties contributed to but has exponentially expanded under Obama and tyrannical regime.

What is all this actually about? CNBC's Larry Kudlow sits down with Norquist and former Senator Archer Davis (D:AL) to sort it out:



Kudlow has it right in his assumption.

As it turns out, I am against elected officials singing pledges of this sort. However, the Democrats screaming about this are disingenuous at best.

I am reminded of the Overton Window theory. The Obama administration has spent money with wreckless abandon for years but now seeks compromise by aiming to join Republicans in a bipartisan effort to slightly move back spending (grab a mile and give back a furlong) while hoping Republicans agree to slight revenue enhancements (tax increases) to help cover the costs of exponential expansion of entitlements.

Those sneaky Dems also hope they can create dissension in the GOP over this. For example, GOP 2012 candidate Michele Bachmann has thus far not signed Jim DeMint's Cut, Cap and Balance pledge. She may not, but I have no doubt where she stands, and will vote, on this issue based on her record.

Sunshine is the best disinfectant. There are Progressives on both sides of the aisle. Thanks to these anti capitalist elites, our country is heading toward insolvency which puts our basis of pursuing life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness in jeapordy. They must be purged.

While I may not sign the ATR pledge, I will pledge to encourage that any Republican voting for any tax increases or to raise the debt ceiling without substantial victories will have a primary challenger.

It would serve all GOP members engaged in these discussions to hear the words of Ronald Reagan loudly!

"It is time to reawaken this industrial giant, to get government back within its means, and to lighten our punitive tax burden. And these will be our first priorities, and on these principles, there will be no compromise."

NO COMPROMISE!

Hawkeye on National Debt

The leader of the pack is right on target when it comes to thwarting the progressive movement who wish to further increase our national debt to continue to fund their entitlement projects.


Bachmann recognizes free market capitalism is the best path to prosperity.

Food For Thought

Drinking with Bob is right on target once again, giving us some food for thought sure to cause new levels of indigestion.



You would think there were some adults in the room, but for the most part you would be wrong.

Intellectual elites, and/or progressives, on both sides are leading this country to ruin. Thankfully, there are a few Republicans who are taking the fight to the street, but they are paying a heavy price from both sides. Enter Rep. Paul Ryan, R:WI, who had the courage to propose his Roadmap for Recovery. Ryan is getting firebombed from left and right.

Elites from both sides have long knives targeting those outside the establishment. Consider the unprecedented length taken in an effort to discredit Sarah Palin. The New York Times spent much of last month going through her emails, oblivious to the destructive antics of President Obama. These same opponents, including most of the media, all Democrats and a good portion of the Republicans, are now going after Michele Bachmann.

As you consider candidates for 2012, you should look very hard at supporting someone who is set to upset the apple cart, redirecting the goings on in a common sense approach. Those who stand to lose their positions and entitlements in such a move will voice their opposition either outright or from the back row.

Drinking with Bob has it right. We must eject from the broken system we currently employ to reach optimal freedom and prosperity. For this to happen, we must seek candidates who frequently oppose the progressive antics that have gotten us into this mess.

A start would be to strongly consider those "Conservative" FOX News contributor Liz Trotta , a graduate of Columbia University, claimed were graduates of "Fleabag U", referring, of course, to Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann.

FYI, Palin graduated from The University of Idaho while Bachmann holds a BA from Winona State University in her home state of Minnesota and law degrees from Oral Roberts University and The College of William and Mary.

In searching for potential candidates who appear ready to take on the establishment, Palin and Bachmann are among those at the top of my (The Florida State University) list.

The Adult in the Room

Today, in response to the Prosperity Project budget plan put forth by Rep. Paul Ryan, R:WI, President Barack Obama, after being President for over two years, spoke to the nation to presumably lay out a plan of his own.

Joe Biden found Obama's rhetoric intoxicating.



Instead, the transformer in chief failed to put forth a plan of action, fell back upon the tax the rich class warfare we know he supports and behaved like a juvenile with condescending jabs at Ryan, the one politician displaying economic courage and leadership.

Contrary to mainstream media and the parade of dishonest progressive Democrats invading the airwaves, seniors will not have food taken away from them, nor will anyone over age 55 have any of their expected benefits withheld under the plan put forth by Ryan. This will in fact happen if we continue the Keynesian current path to system crash.

Congressman Ryan joined CNBC's Larry Kudlow tonight to discuss the disappointing speech by Obama.



Without any argument of merit, the Saul Alinsky tactics rise to the forefront for this thugocratic administration as we saw today in Obama attacking Rep. Ryan. I am very comfortable with that. As it plays out, as Obama continues to exhibit limited economic knowledge, together with his anti capitalistic beliefs, arrogant, condescending and juvenile behavior, the direction of action will become clear to America.

The adult in the room is also the smartest, one who is displaying leadership and courage in the face of potentially heavy political costs, with bold budget plans that could save this country form economic and thus social ruin. That man is Paul Ryan.
