A WAR IS WAGING FOR THE SOUL OF AMERICA…
These days it seems that no matter in which direction I turn, our nation and our Constitution is under assault. And the perpetrators are, in large part, those who have chosen to follow a man who is the most despicable individual ever to be elected to his high office. And it is because him, and those who are so devoted to him, that they have now embarked on a path that has them working feverishly to bring about the demise of the freest nation in all of human history. And it is with great sadness that I must report that we have far too who few seem to be willing to raise a finger to stop any of it.
This latest assault to which I refer is a plan that is now, and very stealthily so, making its way through state legislatures and with what can rightfully be called astonishing speed. It is a plan that would end the Electoral College and award the presidency to the winner of the popular vote. This plan involves an Interstate Compact where states would commit to select electors pledged to vote for the national popular vote winner regardless of how their own state voted. When enough states pass this law, sufficient to cast 270 votes which is the majority of the Electoral College, it will take effect.
So far there are nine states and the District of Columbia, casting at total 136 electoral votes who have thus far joined together. So these enemies of the Constitution are already halfway to the 270 needed to put their compact into effect. The ratifying states are: Maryland, New Jersey, Illinois, Hawaii, Washington, Massachusetts, the District of Columbia, Vermont, California, and Rhode Island. Both houses in New York have passed it and it's on Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s desk. Blue states all, so it becomes readily apparent who it is that make up these forces of darkness behind this insidious plan.
But it has also already passed in the House in Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Michigan, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, and Oregon. These states, plus New York, represent 107 votes. And when combined with those who have already acted these enemies of freedom are up to 242 votes, or just 28 short of the 270 that they need. And who is it that is pushing so hard for this sinister plan to become a reality? Well that should really come as being no surprise. Because all of those who are behind this covert attack on this nation, also voted for Barry "Almighty".
And something else that should come as no surprise is the fact that the funding for this attack on our Constitution is coming, at least in part, from the Center for Voting and Democracy, a George Soros-funded election group. So while ‘Dingy Harry’ Reid stands on the floor of the U.S. Senate and essentially slander the Koch brothers, the real villain here also happens to be a very big supporter of the Democrats and their many socialist causes, and one who is more than willing to use his vast resources in assisting them in their drive to destroy our country. Again none other that George Soros.
Essentially, what is being attempted here equates to being nothing more than an end-run around the regular constitutional amending process. Rather than securing a two-thirds majority of each house of Congress and three-quarters of the states, this proposal would take effect when a simple majority approves it. So why is it that the Democrats are pushing this plan? It’s quite simply really, Democrats usually see a smaller percentage of their people go to the polls than do the Republicans. They figure why beat the drums to get a high turnout in a state that is known to go Democrat anyway?
But, if it's the popular vote that matters, the big city machines can do their thing, with devastating effectiveness. And are they perhaps planning to take things even further by allowing noncitizens to vote? If the Popular Vote Movement succeeds, there will be nothing to stop them and everything to gain by doing so. The Constitution does not require that the franchise be limited to citizens. It's up to the states. If the popular vote is all that matters, won’t many blue states simply bulk up their popular vote totals by letting noncitizens vote? I’m pretty sure that we all know the answer to that question.
Historically, there have been several states that have allowed noncitizens to vote. The last to do so was Arkansas, and it repealed its law back in 1926. The Harvard Political Review reminds us that noncitizen voting was "once commonly accepted in the United States." California and other blue states have been moving to obliterate the difference between citizens and noncitizens, letting even illegal immigrants serve on juries or become lawyers. The insanity of doing so is beyond description. It’s all nothing more than an attempt to dismantle that which has stood for over 200 years.
And as is always the case there are those few RINOs who are supporting this plan, providing sufficient window dressing that the Democrats need in moving forward with their plan. These ‘establishment Republicans’ naively dismiss the possibility that any state would ever let illegal immigrants and other noncitizens vote. But why? If the Democrats can steal the White House by doing so, why wouldn’t they do it? Of course they would! And to assume otherwise is either an act of complete stupidity or worse, proof of their being complicit in this barbaric attempt to gut our Constitution.
So at the end of the day if the Republican Party is going to do nothing to derail this plot against our nation, than once again it will fall to We the People to put a swift end to this madness. We MUST gather our forces and work together in preventing these communists, who are continually allowed to refer to themselves as Democrats, from ravaging our political system. They hate this country and because of that they must be stopped, and by any means necessary. What this is is nothing more than a blatant attempt to rig the ballot box. It’s banana republic tactics unbefitting the United States of America.
***BIMBO ALERT***BIMBO ALERT***BIMBO ALERT***
Praise the Lord, the child produced by that loveless union of ‘Slick Willie’ & Hitlery Clinton, Inc. now claims that she is at least considering the possibility that she too may someday find her way into politics. So we may yet be cursed with yet another Clinton to have to put up with. And of course you can imagine how those in our state-controlled media were falling all over themselves at the news. So it was in a recent interview with ‘Fast Company’, that the less than intelligent Ms. Clinton admitted that she is now willing to leave the door open, a teeny, tiny bit, to a political bid.
Ms. ‘Airhead’, 34, told the business magazine, "I live in a city and a state and a country where I support my elected representatives." She went on to say, "If at some point that weren’t the case, and I didn’t support my mayor or my city councilwoman or my congresswoman or either of my senators, and I’m lucky to live in a state where I have lots of women representing me, you know, maybe then I’d have to ask and answer the question for myself, and come to a different answer." What is it about these people that makes them think that they are somehow so well-suited for politics?
The Fast Company story covered Ms. Clinton’s rather odd career evolution from her failed attempt into broadcast journalism to her working for mommy and daddy at their little money laundering ‘foundation’. And apparently she also took the time to recount how it is that she’s been asked about whether she’ll run for office ever since she could remember. So it would appear then that since she is really incapable to doing anything else, she’s now pondering a run for office. After all, that seems to have worked out pretty well for her mother. To say nothing of how well it worked out for Barry.

OBAMA ACHIEVES ANOTHER BIZARRE MILESTONE…
Apparently there is now yet another rather bizarre milestone to which Barry can now lay claim. This one has to do with the fact that the number of people who now participate in the food stamp program actually outnumbers the number of women who worked full-time, year-round, in the United States in 2012, at least according to data from the Department of Agriculture and the Census Bureau. Personally I’m not sure what I find as being more disturbing, that we have that few number of women working full-time, or that many Americans on food stamps.
In the average month of 2012, according to the Department of Agriculture, there were 46,609,000 people participating in the food stamp program, formally known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. That contrasts with the 44,059,000 women who worked full-time, year-round in 2012, according to the Census Bureau’s report on Income, Poverty and Health Insurance Coverage in the United States. For each woman who worked full-time, year-round in 2012, there was slightly more than 1 other person who was collecting food stamps.
In 2013, the average number of people on food stamps increased to 47,636,000. The Department of Agriculture’s website lists the annual average number of food stamps participants going back to 1969. That year, there were only 2,878,000 people on food stamps. Since then, food stamps participants have increased by 44,758,000—or about 1,552 percent. In 1969, there were 15,678,000 women who worked full-time, year-round in the United States. Through 2012, their numbers had increased by 28,381,000—or about 181 percent.
Since 1969, there have been three years when the number of Americans taking food stamps outnumbered the women who worked full time, year-round. In 1976, there were 18,549,000 food stamps participants, and only 18,372,000 women working full-time. Then, in 2011, there were 44,709,000 food stamp participants and 43,702,000 women who worked full-time. So far, 2011 and 2012 are the only back-to-back years on record when the number of Americans taking food stamps outnumbered the women working full-time year-round.
And so it is then, that as we continue on our little sleigh-ride to Hell that is the Barry presidency, we also continue our venturing ever further into what is, for the most part, pretty much virgin territory for this country. So-called because the scale and the speed with which the implementation of socialist policies has been taking place over the course of the last five years, has never before been attempted in this country. Not since LBJ’s "Great Society" has there been such a concerted effort to get as many citizens as possible so completely dependent on government.
WITH ‘DINGY HARRY’ REID, CORRUPTION IS A FAMILY TRADITION…
Well, it would seem that being more than just a bit dingy runs in the Reid family. Or, I suppose we could also say, as it relates to this clan that "The acorn doesn’t fall far from the tree." Because apparently, the Nevada rancher who recently forced the federal Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to back down may have been targeted because a Chinese solar company with ties to ‘Dingy Harry’ Reid's son wants the land for an energy plant. Word now comes that Chinese energy giant ENN Energy Group would like very much to use federal land as part of its effort to build a $5 billion solar farm and panel-building plant in the southern Nevada desert.
And in what I’m quite sure is nothing more than purely coincidental, Rory Reid, the son of ‘Dingy Harry’ Reid, just happens to be the guy who’s representing ENN in their bid to locate in Nevada. But wait, the plot seems to thicken because part of that land which ENN wants to use was purchased from Clark County at well below appraised value. And stranger even still is the fact that Rory Reid is the former Clark County Commission chairman and it was he who somehow persuaded the commission to sell 9,000 acres of county land to ENN on the promise it would provide jobs for the area. At least that’s how it was reported by Reuters in 2012.
In addition to the county acreage, the federal Bureau of Land Management, the group that was recently holding a herd of cows hostage because they were supposedly trespassing on some turtle habitat, was also, at one time, looking at the BLM property under dispute with the owner of those very same cattle, rancher Cliven Bundy. And in what is another weird coincidence is the fact that the BLM is currently headed by former ‘Dingy Harry’ policy adviser, Neil Kornz. Now does anyone see what can, I think, be referred to as a common denominator in any of this? I mean I would hate to be seen as some sort of conspiracy nut, but it seems pretty obvious to me.
BLM documents indicate that the federal property for which Bundy claims grazing rights were also under consideration by the solar energy company. But oddly enough, those documents have since been removed from BLM's website. But according to one source, one of those documents is quoted as stating the following: "Non-Governmental Organizations have expressed concern that the regional mitigation strategy for the Dry Lake Solar Energy Zone utilizes Gold Butte as the location for offsite mitigation for impacts from solar development, and that those restoration activities are not durable with the presence of trespass cattle."
"Trespass cattle" is the nomenclature chosen by the government to refer to Mr. Bundy's herd. Bundy's family has grazed cattle on that land since the 1870s, and Bundy maintains he has grazing rights to the federal land. But he hasn't paid his federal grazing fees in 20 years in a dispute with the BLM. And it was BLM agents who hired contract cowboys earlier this year to seize hundreds of head of cattle and were moving in to seize the rest when militia members from across the country and other supporters showed up last week. It was then that the BLM backed off its efforts, returning Bundy's cattle, but vowing to continue the fight in court.
It has been reported that in its effort to get Bundy off the land, BLM has attempted to force him to reduce his 1,000-head herd to 150. But Bundy says his ranch would not be viable with a herd that small. And in what really demonstrates the complete farce that the government’s position is in this entire matter is the fact that the BLM claims a need to control grazing on the land to protect some endangered desert tortoise. But what has been noted as far back as last August, is the fact that the tortoise population in a nearby conservation center was set to be euthanized because of underfunding. So it kinda makes you wonder what’s really going on here.
But of course the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has repeatedly denied those reports, saying that it’s only the unhealthy tortoises would be euthanized and others would be relocated. But KVVU-TV in Las Vegas reported that the agency didn't say how many of the tortoises in its care were deemed "healthy." But it also been reported that ‘Dingy Harry’ pressured the BLM to change the tortoise's protected zone to accommodate developer Harvey Whittemore who also just happens to be one of the Democrat's top donors. Whittemore was convicted in May 2013 of making illegal campaign contributions to ‘Dingy’.
Look, it should be obvious to even the most casual of observers that this entire episode stinks to high heaven, and it makes you wonder what country we are now living in these days. After all, BLM has proven that they’ve a situational concern, at best, for this desert tortoise as they seemed to have little problem in waiving their rules concerning wind or solar power development. Clearly, these developments have vastly affected a tortoise habitat far more than has a century-old, quasi-homesteading grazing area. If only Clive Bundy were a big ‘Dingy Harry’ donor this entire matter might have been easily avoided. But he’s not, so he must be made to bend to the demands made by the all-powerful government.

OBAMA CONTINUES TO DIVIDE, DISTRACT, DECEIVE, DISGUST AND, FOR SOME, EVEN TO DISAPPOINT…
I’m quite sure we all could rattle off any number of things for which any one of us could be requested to provide some form of identification. Everything from opening up a checking account to boarding an aircraft, demands that we identify ourselves. So to us, providing proof that we are who we say we are at the time of casting our vote, besides simply being no big deal, is something that most us think makes a great deal of sense. But our ‘Dear Beloved Leader’, Barack Hussein Obama, and his many Democrat comrades have a far different opinion on this commonsense matter. But commonsense and Democrats are like oil and water.
With Barry, race must be interjected into absolutely everything. So, at least according to Barry and those of his party, recent moves that have been, and continue to be, made by Republicans at the state level to enact stricter voter-identification laws are nothing short of an affront to the ideal that all Americans have an equal stake in their government. According to Barry, these ‘restrictions’ are being put in place for purely partisan reasons and then being justified with "bogus arguments about voter fraud." Or so Barry loudly claimed at the National Action Network conference earlier this week in New York.
This idiotic event was all about politics, and, as such, was simply another example of how Barry seeks to divide us along racial lines. Because dividing us allows him to increase his odds of achieving electoral success. This man who is now our president said, "Every citizen doesn’t just have a right to vote, they have a responsibility to vote." He went on to say, "I’m not going to let attacks on these rights go unchallenged." Barry delivered his typically incendiary remarks while attending this ‘conference’ organized by faux preacher, supposed civil rights activist, and recently discovered FBI informant, Al ‘Bull Horn’ Sharpton.
It’s ‘Bull Horn’s’ idiotic little shakedown group, The National Action Network, that’s really nothing more than a front group for the Democrats. And in this particular instance it provided Barry with the necessary venue, which allowed him to extend the arc of a narrative he began to weave yesterday in commemorating the 50th anniversary of the 1964 Civil Rights Act at the Lyndon B. Johnson presidential library in Austin, Texas. But a fact that was strangely missing from the conversation was anything about the fact that had it not been for the Republicans in Congress at the time, the legislation would have never made it to Johnson’s desk.
But because the stakes are indeed so high for Barry and the Democrats, especially as they relate to the coming election, we should expect, and not be surprised by the fact that, all the stops will most definitely be pulled out. And this latest event is but one example of what we are likely to see much more of. Because, you see, Republicans are, as of right now, expected to retain their majority in the House and to contend for control of the Senate. November’s midterm election promises to set the boundaries of what Barry will be able to accomplish in the final two years of what has been a rather disastrous presidency.
And because of the fact that they tend to prefer living off the government and, therefore, off those of us who actually do work and pay taxes, Black and Hispanic voters, are typically strong constituencies for Democrat candidates. And it’s because they are also less likely to vote in midterm elections than their white counterparts, according to data compiled by the Pew Research Center, that Barry now apparently feels he must stoke the fires of racism in an attempt to motivate them to get out to the polls. In 2010, only 31 percent of eligible Hispanic voters went to the polls, compared with 44 percent of blacks and 48.6 percent of whites.
Barry said, "We’ve got to be vigilant to secure the gains we’ve made but also to make more gains in the future." And then went on to say, "That’s the meaning of these last 50 years since the Civil Rights Act was passed." Barry claimed that the fight for voting rights won’t have meaning unless people show up at the polls in November. "The biggest problem we have is people giving up their own power," he said. Sharpton, Eric "I’m A Blatant Racist" Holder, and others have said the state-level voter-identification laws create an impediment to voting that is reminiscent of the poll taxes outlawed in federal elections by the 24th Amendment.
Barry claimed that it’s a "sign of weakness" of the Republican Party that it is attempting to keep people from voting rather than trying to expand the number of those who cast ballots. ‘Bull Horn’, as you may, or not know unless you’re one of his 15 or 20 viewers, hosts a show on that ‘Looney Tunes’ network, MSNBC. And as strange as it may be for many to understand, he, for some bizarre reason, has become Barry’s go-to civil rights expert. They have worked together on a variety of issues, including Barry’s "My Brother’s Keeper" initiative. Earlier this year, Barry noted that ‘Bull Horn’ and Bill O’Reilly were both involved in the program.
Old ‘Bull Horn’ has consistently proven himself to be a valuable ally for Barry because he provides to Barry unvarnished advice, follows through, and can work on issues from outside government. At least that’s how the relationship was recently described according to an administration official, who, of course, asked for anonymity to talk about private discussions. Actually, ‘Bull Horn’ serves as Barry’s main rock thrower when it comes to all matters related to race. He keeps Barry from having to get his hands too dirty, and to at least appear as if he’s above the fray, and out of the gutter. Neither of which, of course, is true.
So at the end of the day, Barry can make all of the idiotic claims that he wishes, but I ask you, when was the last time that you remember hearing about how it was that any number of dead voters showed up to cast their votes for the Republican in any election? You know, I seem to recall how it was, back in 2008, that we were all told how this guy was the one who we had all been waiting for and about how much smarter he was than his predecessor. So I find it all a bit strange that he has always found it necessary to resort to sleazy tactics like this. To me, at least, it only serves to point out, and very clearly so, the obvious weakness of his position.

HITLERY CLINTON...GUTLESS B!TCH…
Once again, demonstrating that she is nothing more than the gutless coward that we all know her to be, we have Hitlery Clinton apparently backing out of an agreement to appear at an event in San Diego. She was to be the keynote speaker at the 17th Annual Western Healthcare Leadership Academy in San Diego on April 1, but she has now cancelled her visit in the midst of planned protests from San Diego locals and military families.
Protestors organized by "The Difference Matters" do not want the former Secretary of State to come because of the role Hitlery's has played in covering up the Benghazi scandal. "She is not welcome here in San Diego by so many of us. We don't want her here," said Jan Iverson, a local mother and protestor. And according to Fox News, "Pat Smith lost her son, Sean Smith, during an attack in Benghazi and plans to be at the center of the protest."
It was Hitlery Clinton, as you may recall, who, while testifying before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on January 23, 2013, made the arrogant, and rather insensitive statement, "What difference...does it make?" Such was her idiotic response when questioned about the attack on the American Consulate in Benghazi and the deaths of four Americans that took place there. Hence, the group's name: "The Difference Matters."
Mary Kafka, one of the women organizing the protest rally, said that Hitlery's change of plans will not stop the protest from taking place. However, it’s been decided that Hitlery will now appear via satellite instead of in-person. 700 people were expected to attend. Hitlery's office claims she changed plans because of scheduling issues. Perhaps she simply wants to make sure that she doesn’t find herself having to dodge anymore flying objects.
And yet this tired old hag seems to think of herself as somehow being fit to be our commander-in-chief? But when one possesses absolutely no belief in the sanctity of human life, how can one, in any way, be fit, or qualified, to send our military men and women into harm’s way? Haven’t we experienced enough of that twisted mentality over the course of the last five years, with the majority of casualties in Afghanistan taking place on Barry’s watch?
The last thing, and I mean the very last thing, that this country needs now is a brain-dead douchebag like Hitlery as our commander-in-chief. She has no business being in any kind of a position where the lives of others, especially our military folks, depend on her ability, or inability, to act in their best interest. But then I suppose such a thing is of little importance to those who seek to remain on the receiving end of the government gravy train.
OBAMA, IT’S ‘BECAUSE’ HE’S BLACK THAT HE’LL ‘NEVER’ BE IMPEACHED…
I think it quite safe to assume that for no other reason that because Barry was able to become the first black president, any claims made by ‘Slick Willie’ Clinton notwithstanding, the likelihood that he’ll ever be impeached, no matter what high crime or misdemeanor he has committed, is pretty remote. And with that threat having been effectively removed, he has felt free over the course of his reign to further dismantle, or to "fundamentally transform" our nation whenever the opportunity presented itself, doing so without any fear of retribution.
And also I think we can also now say that America has now progressed well beyond that which was previously viewed as being the bottom of the barrel when it comes to having an elected ‘leader’ so willing to abuse the power of his office. And his only saving grace is that he’s America’s first black president and therefore will never be impeached. Barry has misused his executive power in three very troubling ways, first of which with his continuing disregard of the Obamacare law, his disregard of immigration law as well as his disregard of the drug laws.
And as is usually the case with everyone’s favorite Spokemoron, Jay ‘The Lying Sack Of Shit’ Carney, he does his best to make excuses for Barry’s rabid abuses of power. He just loves to very loudly tout the fact that Barry has issued far fewer executive orders than did his predecessor, the infamous George Bush. But it’s not the number of executive orders that should really be the main point of concern for people, it’s that he’s so blatantly abusing his power. The orders are designed to supplement existing law, not to change or create new laws.
One of the prime examples, and there are many, that one would think would be sufficient to warrant a Barry impeachment is the continuing IRS-Tea Party scandal. It is a scandal which many, at least those on the right, view as being worse than Watergate. Worse because because it is the corruption of much of the government, with many people being involved, not one guy telling some bad guys to do something. The IRS is certainly affecting individuals who were just minding their own business, but both were attempts at corrupting the political process.
Watergate was about the hiring of some second-rate burglars to steal stuff, they didn’t use the government to do it. They didn’t use the Marines or the IRS or Securities and Exchange Commission, they didn’t use the force of government to do that. What you don’t want to do is criminalize the government, and that’s what appears to have happened with the IRS. People working for the American people, paid for with tax dollars, abusing that power for political purposes. It’s just more evidence of the Chicago way of politics.
So short of some sort of massive uprising taking place by those of us who are able to see this corrupt thug for what he is, not much will ever happen to this creep. He’ll leave office with the same circus-like theatrics that he entered it with. He’ll hit the communist speaking circuit where he will be seen not only as the man who presided over the collapse of America, but also as the man who engineered it. He will have successfully taken America from being the world’s lone superpower to being nothing more than the equivalent of a third-rate banana republic.
And it’s because of that success that Barry will go on to make millions of dollars and be set for life. Sadly, things are unlikely to improve once he has departed. Because much of the damage that he will have managed to inflict upon us is imply irreparable. And the fact that Americans may actually be stupid enough to consider electing Hitlery Clinton as his successor, and in the event that that should actually take place, it would then be highly unlikely that any attempt to repair the damage resulting from Barry’s having been in the White House for eight very long years, would even be undertaken.

ANOTHER DEMOCRAT WHO BELONGS BEHIND BARS…
Now I think safe to the Democrats, and nearly as a whole, are a rather disgusting bunch. The not only hate America, but they hate everything that it has come to stand for. The path that they which to, and to keep, America on is one that leads to the heart of that 1000 years of darkness made reference to by Ronald Reagan. But far from being willing defend their ideas and why they think their way is the better way for America, they lie, they slander the opposition, and they deny what it is that they wish to turn America into.
Recent we heard from The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee that the public "deserves a full and truthful explanation" for the actions of its ranking member, none other than Elijah Cummings, whose staff "surreptitiously contacted the IRS" about a conservative group that was seeking tax-exempt status, and was subjected to inappropriate scrutiny. But funny thing, old Elijah never bothered to tell committee Republicans about his contacts with the IRS concerning the group True the Vote. In fact, he has consistently denied any such contact.
In a letter to Cummings on Wednesday, Oversight Committee Chair Darrell Issa and other committee Republicans said Cummings' inquiries about True the Vote may have prompted additional IRS scrutiny of the group. The letter also notes that Cummings' email communications with the IRS "raise disturbing concerns about your possible motivations for opposing this investigation and your unwillingness to lend your support to efforts to obtain the testimony of former IRS Exempt Organizations Director Lois G. Lerner."
Committee Republicans also question whether the IRS had "improperly shared protected taxpayer information" with Cummings' staff. The letter details Cummings' staff's contacts with Catherine Engelbrecht, president and founder of True the Vote, who testified that she received three letters from Cummings' office, demanding the same information that the IRS wanted from her. Engelbrecht's attorney, Cleta Mitchell, raised the possibility that Cummings' staff had coordinated with the IRS in targeting True the Vote.
The letter to Cummings also notes that Lois Lerner appeared "personally interested in fulfilling your request for information about True the Vote," and it included in its letter transcripts of emails from Lerner. Committee Republicans wrote to Elijah, "As the committee continues to investigate the IRS' wrongdoing and to gather all relevant testimonial and documentary evidence, the American people deserve to know the full truth." But then as we have seen so many times in past, and especially during the last five years, Democrats have little interest in the truth.
In referencing the American people, this letter also went on to say, "They deserve to know why the Ranking Member and Minority Staff of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform surreptitiously contacted the IRS about an individual organization without informing the Majority Staff and even failed to disclose the contact after it became an issue during a subcommittee proceeding." Well I think we all know why it was that this racist slug contacted the IRS and why he also chose to keep that contact secret.

JUST ANOTHER BIT OF DEMOCRAT HYPOCRISY…
Now just what the Hell does anyone make of this? You see, apparently Texas gubernatorial candidate, and Democrat, Wendy Davis, who has been quite busy of late championing a controversial equal pay for women issue there in the Lone Star State, paid her male staffers more than she paid her female employees. Imagine that. Documents show that in 44 out of 58 months between January 2009, when she took office as a state senator, and October 2013, the highest earner in her office was (drum roll), a man. Whoops!
Now while it was in fact a female who earned the highest salary for six months during that period, for the remaining months a male and female staffer shared the highest earner position. The review stated that the highest pay for any month during that five-year period was $8,851, which went during mid-2010 to Ware Wendell, Davis’ then chief of staff. During 2013, Davis’ chief of staff Sonya Grogg was paid $6,250 in the month of October. So once again we have what is another example of blatant Democrat hypocrisy.
As well, there was also a recent analysis that showed for 37 of the 58 months, men in Davis’ office averaged higher salaries than did the women, while female workers had larger salaries than the male employees for the remaining 21 months. The records also showed that male Davis staffers earned a little over $300,000 more than female staffers during the five-year period, with salaries paid to men reaching $1,143,357 while women were paid $837,481 in aggregate salary records. Both of which seem rather exorbitant for a state senator’s office.
And keep in mind here that Davis has been constantly attacking her Republican opponent in this race, Attorney General Greg Abbott, for his opposition to a bill that she sponsored which would allow women to file equal-pay grievances in state courts. Texas Gov. Rick Perry vetoed the bill last year. Perry slammed Davis’ attacks on Abbott last month, saying that it was "nonsense" to focus on equal pay for women when there are other more important issues like job creation and cutting business regulations.
Now I’m sure it can go without saying that Democrats are trying really heard to make equal pay an issue during the upcoming midterm elections. And especially since they are quite desperate to find some way, any way, of distracting voter attention away from Obamacare. So while I’m sure we can count on hearing a lot more on the subject, it may prove to be somewhat of a double-edged sword. After all, Barry too seems to be in the habit of paying the men who work for him more than the women who do, and quite a bit more.
But be that as it may, in doing his best to play the part of the concerned public servant, and in celebration of Equal Pay Day, Barry "Almighty" signed two executive orders on Tuesday. The first prohibits federal contractors from retaliating against workers who discuss their salaries, while the other order will instruct the Labor Department to create new regulations that require federal contractors to report salary data, including gender and race breakdowns, to the government. But there’ll no need for Barry to comply.
And apparently Barry is also said to be planning a speech urging Congress to pass the Paycheck Fairness Act, which Senate Democrats are expected to begin debating this week. The bill expanding the scope of the Equal Pay Act of 1963 was twice previously rejected by Congress. But, again, with Democrats searching for some way to take the minds of voters off of Obamacare I’m quite sure that in the coming months all that we are likely to hear about is how women continued to get screwed in the workplace.
ANOTHER SCHOOL TRAGEDY…WITH A DIFFERENCE…
We’re now hearing about how twenty students were injured after a stabbing attack, apparently by a male student, at a Pennsylvania high school earlier today. According to local officials there were at least 20 victims, 19 students plus one security guard. The alleged attacker, a student at the school, has been placed in custody. The incident occurred at Franklin Regional High School in Murrysville, which is about 20 miles east of Pittsburgh. It remains unclear how many students were stabbed and how many were injured trying to get away from the attacker.
According to Dan Stevens, the deputy emergency management coordinator for the Westmoreland County, "The students' conditions seem to be non-life threatening. It's important that parents realize the scene is contained, the students that are here are safe,". The school district posted an emergency message on its website on Wednesday. "A critical incident has occurred at the high school," the message said. "All elementary schools are canceled, the middle school and high school students are secure." Adding, "All elementary schools are canceled, the middle school and high school students are secure."
So I’m just wondering here, will we now hear demands from those on the left for stricter knife control? Will we hear from Democrats who say that the good thing about this attack was that it was so horrific? Or is such idiotic rhetoric reserved for those rare occasions when such crimes are committed with a gun? Now I’m in no way trying to downplay the tragedy that has occurred here, I’m only trying to point out the level of hypocrisy normally exhibited by Democrats where their supposed outrage will always be directly related to the level of exploitation they think they might be able to achieve.
I doubt very little, if anything, will be heard from Barry regarding this specific incident unless, of course, it turns out the kid with the knife was white and the wounded students were all black. In that case I’m quite sure we’d hear all manner of idiotic, incendiary, racial gibberish from him. But as I don’t think that that’s the case, so all we are likely to hear from the White House is nothing but a stone cold silence. After all, how much political mileage could they really expect to get out of this, and as we all know, with these guys everything boils down to political gains that can be made.
ADDRESSING THE MYTH THAT BLACKS ARE SOMEHOW MORE RELIGIOUS THAN OTHERS…
I always have to laugh whenever someone tries to tell me that because minorities are supposed to be more religious than others, it would seem only natural that they would be drawn more to the Republican Party than to the Democrat Party. But just because people go to church, that doesn’t necessarily mean that they are in any way religious. Remember the sermons screeched from the pulpit of Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s church. How often do you think it was that the word of God was ever heard there? I’d bet, not very often.
Let’s face it, if they were truly as religious as has been claimed how could 95 percent of blacks support a man who favors the murdering of a baby fortunate enough to have survived an abortion. And why would the vast majority of them decide to have children with any number of different men and without any thought ever being given to marrying one? These are not people who are necessarily more religious, or even religious at all, these are simply people who like to dress up and hang out together on Sunday.
And I’ve often wondered what it is that I might hear were I in attendance in one of these black churches on any given Sunday. Would I hear anything at all about how best to salvage the black family, or how to stem the number of out of wedlock births, or ideas about how best to steer young black men in a direction that would reduce the chances of them landing in prison? It would appear that such issues are rarely if ever addressed. Or if they are, it must be only in passing. Certainly not much time is being spent on them.
But then how surprised should I really be by anything that might be spewed by black preachers when the men of God in the black community are symbolized by such purveyors of hate as Rev. Al "Bull Horn’ Sharpton, Rev. Jesse ‘The Extortionist’ Jackson, Rev. Jeremiah "God Damn America’ Wright and Minister ‘Calypso Louie’ Farrakhan? And oddly enough, it’s these guys who always receive the loudest cheers whenever and wherever they speak. So, are blacks more religious than other folks? Nope, I don’t think so!

‘DINGY HARRY’ REID…THEY DON’T COME ANY ‘DINGIER’…
Well, well, well, lookee what we have here. Contrary to what many in the state-controlled media would have us all believe, that Republicans are the corrupt ones, while Democrats are as pure as the wind driven snow, it appears that old ‘Dingy Harry’ might now find himself sinking slowly into some political quicksand. ‘Dingy’ now finds himself on the receiving end of some closer than normal public scrutiny over the potentially enriching some family members through his position as a Democrat leader. And it couldn’t happen to a nicer turd. Whoops, did I say that? Yup, by golly I did, and I meant it too, every last word.
So anyway, everyone’s favorite creep from Nevada, and a fella who seems to have a rather strong dislike for anyone with the last name of Koch, has recently become embroiled in an embarrassing little controversy surrounding the $31,268 that his campaign paid to his granddaughter Ryan Elisabeth Reid for the purchase of gift items from her jewelry line. But his penchant for pulling strings to help family members was first exposed by the Los Angeles Times a decade ago when a Nevada land bill proposed by ‘Dingy’ appeared to benefit his son-in-law Steve Barringer’s consulting firm and his sons’ legal firm.
You see, it seems that the Howard Hughes Corp. paid something in the neighborhood of $300,000 to the Washington firm Barringer worked for to push a provision allowing the company to buy 1,000 acres of federal land for development in the then burgeoning Las Vegas area, according to the Times. The bill also benefited a real estate development headed by a senior partner in the Nevada law firm that just happened to then employed all four of ‘Dingy’s’ sons — Rory, Leif, Josh, and Key — by moving the right-of-way for a federal power transmission line off his property and onto what had been protected federal wilderness.
In its report, the Times said, "So pervasive are the ties among Reid, members of his family, and Nevada's leading industries and institutions that it's difficult to find a significant field in which such a relationship does not exist." ‘Dingy’s" reputation for promoting his family’s power, status, and wealth was further enhanced when it was revealed that he had lobbied the mayor of Henderson and a councilwoman to support his son Josh Reid’s application to become the city’s attorney. Although Josh got the job in 2011, we’re somehow expected to believe officials when they make the idiotic claim that ‘Dingy’s’ phone calls didn’t influence them in any way.
And it was back in 2012 that old ‘Dingy’ was only too happy to once again use his connections in an effort to help his son Rory’s legal firm receive legal fees from a Chinese company building a solar plant in a dusty corner of Nevada. The company’s billionaire founder, Wang Yusuo, joined with ‘Dingy’ to win incentives, including paying just $4.5 million for land to build the plant, which was one-eighth of what it was assessed for. The project produced legal work for Rory’s firm, which has donated $40,000 to ‘Dingy’ during the past three cycles. Nothing shady going on here, right? Nope, nothing to see here, move along, move along.
And then it was earlier this year that ‘Dingy’s’ apparent blind spot for his family made him the target of an ethics and conflict-of-interest complaint after he helped to fast-track U.S. visa applications for Chinese investors in the new Las Vegas casino SLS represented by his son Rory, Ryan Elisabeth’s father. And until this recent controversy, Politico writer Jon Ralston said in a report titled "Harry Reid’s Kryptonite," referring to his family, that the senator was Mr. Teflon. "Even when Reid gets caught pulling strings for his family, nothing seems to stick," Ralston wrote. Well of course, he’s a slimy Democrat, and Democrats can get away with anything.
‘Dingy’s’ latest family problems began when it was revealed that his campaign had paid a total of $16,787 in 2013 to Ryan Elisabeth for "holiday gifts" for the senator’s staff, consisting of jewelry items created by his 23-year-old granddaughter. The nepotism issue escalated when it was learned ‘Dingy’s’ campaign had paid another $14,481 to Ryan in 2012, bringing the total in payments over two years to $31,268. Although he appears to be enriching a family member, ‘Dingy’ defended the payments by stating that he had complied with FE standards that allow the purchase of goods from relatives if those goods are sold at fair market value.
‘Dingy’ explained, "I thought it would be nice to give supporters and staff thank you gifts that had a personal connection. But I have decided to reimburse the campaign for the amount of the expenditure." But to Ralston, what ‘Dingy’ was really saying was, "I gave the money back so I don’t look guilty of something." Politico also pointed out that although the law allows for "nominal gifts," there needs to be a great deal of such gifts to reach $31,268. One report even calculated that with a piece of jewelry from Ryan Elisabeth’s line costing $70 on average, it would be the equivalent of buying 450 "nominal gifts" over two years.
This beady-eyed little shit belongs behind bars and not in the Congress of the United States and definitely not in a position of leadership. But the fact that he is able to remain doing so goes to show you just how far the American people will go in accepting this kind of sleazy behavior as long as they are able to keep receiving their government goodies. This guy’s not got a thing to worry about, the media aren’t going to rat him out and the voters are going to vote him out, out of fear of losing those things which they have come to feel entitled to. So until We the People can bring ourselves to demand better of our public servants, nothing will change.
AMERICA IS UNDER SIEGE…
And so Barry’s "fundamental transformation" of America continues, and pretty much unabated since it seems that there is now in this a country a near majority of ‘citizens’ quite content to simply live off the rest of us. And what’s now a pretty sad commentary on just what our nation has become, is the fact that the number of Americans who were enrolled in Medicaid at any time during fiscal 2013 exceeded the entire population of the United Kingdom. And that little tidbit of news comes to us by way of some new data recently published by the federal government’s Medicaid and CHIP Payment Access Commission (MACPAC).
So in what is an attempt to put that bizarre fact into its proper perspective, were Medicaid an actual nation, instead of a massive U.S. entitlement program, it would be the 20th most populous country on earth. "The estimated number of individuals ever covered by Medicaid remained steady at 72.7 million in FY 2013, compared to 72.2 million in FY 2012," said MACPAC's statistical report, released on April 1. And according to the Central Intelligence Agency, the United Kingdom has a total population of 63,742,977. Thus, Americans who were enrolled in Medicaid at some point last year outnumbered all of the people who are now living in the U.K..
That total of 72.7 million, out of a total of 317 million, Americans on Medicaid in fiscal 2013 also exceeded the populations of Thailand (67,741,401), France (66,259,012) and Italy (61,680,122), according to the population numbers published in the CIA's World Factbook. The latest report from MACPAC revised downward by 0.4 million (from 72.6 million) the number of people who had been enrolled in Medicaid in fiscal 2012. "The number of individuals ever covered by Medicaid grew by less than 2 percent, from an estimated 71.7 million in FY 2011 to 72.6 million in FY 2012," said a MACPAC report released a year ago.
Medicaid, a federal-state partnership, is a means-tested ‘entitlement’ program that provides healthcare to ‘low income’ individuals. Obamacare, also known, and very laughably so, as the Affordable Care Act, which ‘requires’ all individuals to have health insurance, also expanded Medicaid, requiring states to extend Medicaid coverage to people earning up to 133 percent of the federal poverty level. The Supreme Court ruled that the federal government could not compel states do this, making the expansion optional for state governments. The only ‘sensible’ part of an idiotic ruling that at least did provide what was, of sorts, an escape clause.
And at the present time there are three states who are now considering expansion: Missouri, Pennsylvania And Utah. Also we have twenty-one states, most of which are a beautiful shade of red, who have chosen not to expand their Medicaid programs: Alabama, Alaska, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Maine, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming. The remaining states, all 26 of them plus the District of Columbia did decide to take part in Obamacare and therefore chose to expand their Medicaid programs.
Now imagine for a moment what this country would look like were it not for the rapidly growing parasite population that we now have in this country. An entire class that consists of an odd assortment of entitlement driven moochers, created by the Democrats but of whom it can be said have been nurtured by both political parties, although by one to a lesser degree than the other. Not that the level of involvement really matters all that much, I suppose. And at this point in the game I’m not even sure what could be done that wouldn’t cause riots in the streets. And that’s where we, the ones forced to covers the costs, could learn something.
I mean why is it exactly that we, the ones seeing more and more of the money that we ‘work’ for and ‘given’ to others, not taking to the streets and while there’s still more of us than there are of them? Why aren’t we flooding the streets of Washington or, better still, the halls of Congress, demanding our country back? Why is it that every night I’m not seeing a growing number of residents from any number of states demanding an end to the brand of socialism that has so ravaged their respective states. From the People’s Republic of California to Socialist Republic of Massachusetts and everywhere in between, those who have a desire to rescue their state must make their voices heard.
But apparently we have yet to reach that point where something like that would happen, so sadly our streets remain quiet, except for that occasional mob made up of those who somehow feel they’re being persecuted because their ‘talents’ earn for them no more than the minimum wage. And something else that can be said to add additional credence to our apparent possessing of some sort of a death wish as a nation, is that, apparently, a majority of us actually want to see Hitlery Clinton as our next president. What better proof of our national insanity is there than that? I mean what sort of rational thinking human being would think that that is in any way a good idea?

DEMOCRATS WORK AT CIRCLING THE WAGONS…
Apparently, in the hopes of trying to prevent the bloodbath that many say is now headed in their direction this November, Democrats are now doing their best to in an effort to circle the wagons in an attempt to protect their the Senate colleagues involved in tight races. According to ‘Little Dick ‘ Durbin, "We try to showcase our members who are up for re-election so they have a chance to shine and show what they believe in, why they are seeking re-election in their states. " ‘Little Dick’ added, "I think it helps a lot." What he really means is that he hopes it helps at least a little.
The Republicans have been pretty determined, as well as consistent, in their continuing efforts to hammer Obamacare and Democrats who chose to vote for it. So to both bolster their own candidates and attempt to change the narrative, the Democrat leadership is positioning some of its more susceptible senators in high-profile situations. For example, Arkansas' Mark Pryor has been given the lead on a bill to keep the Medicare eligibility age from rising beyond 65. And act of desperation resulting from the fact that Pryor is currently trailing his GOP challenger, Tom Cotton, by 9 points.
And then, of course, we have new Hampshire’s Sen. Jeanne Shahee, who may yet find herself being made to lock horns with Scott Brown and is said to now be spearheading an energy efficiency bill, co-sponsored with Ohio Republican Sen. Rob Portman, which Democrats are hoping, will resonate in Shaheen's state. And in North Carolina, it’s Sen. Kay Hagan who will go on the offensive by advocating for long-term unemployment benefits, like that’s something that makes any sense, trying to change course from the hammering she has taken over her enthusiastic support for Obamacare.
And then we have Colorado's Mark Udall and Louisiana's Mary Landrieu who have hooked up and are looking to "fast-track U.S. natural gas imports — a key industry in their states." Other options include "bequeathing" a veterans bill to Montana Sen. John Walsh, who served in the Montana National Guard for 30 years, and taking up manufacturing legislation from Delaware Sen. Chris Coons. This is all really nothing more than the same kind of political chicanery that’s reminiscent of the many political tricks that were employed by Democrats in they’re getting Obamacare to Barry’s desk.
So I guess what remains to be seen here, is just how many of those who make up our ignorant little electorate will actually buy any of this silly sideshow bullshit. I mean, while millions of Americans are being forced to lose their healthcare coverage, coverage that they both liked and that allowed them to see the doctors that they liked, we’re supposed to be somehow distracted away from that point by all of this idiot political trickery? No doubt there will be a few who will fall for it, but are we so stupid that a majority of us could be so easily fooled? I would certainly hope not!
ROB LOWE, A LITTLE LESS OF A LIBERAL LOON…
It’s not very often, one might even say it’s pretty darn rare, that I ever find myself siding, even in the slightest, with someone from Hollywood. And it’s stranger still that it would be with someone who once was proud to refer to himself as being a really liberal Democrat. But these days it’s Rob Lowe who sounds much more like a Libertarian as he recently took it upon himself to declare, in a New York Times interview, that government should stay out of "almost everything."
But when it comes to any of these Hollywood-types, I’m always more than a little leery in believing just about anything that they might choose to say. Anyway, it was while promoting his second autobiography "Love Life," that the now 50-year-old actor compared loyalty to a political party to recreational drug use. "I find them both highly overrated," he said. "Each day another state makes it OK for my 18-year-old, any 18-year-old, to go and buy pot like he's buying a Pepsi-Cola."
He said, "And so let's face it, in the United States, recreational drug use is sort of acceptable. Belonging to one party is acceptable. But my days of just ticking the party box are long over. I judge the candidates for who they are." Adding, "My thing is personal freedoms, freedoms for the individual to love whom they want, do with what they want. In fact, I want the government out of almost everything." Here’s where I tend to part ways with Lowe, as I’m not a supporter of gay marriage.
Lowe knows little about politics, unless of course you care to count his time playing a Democrat speechwriter in that rather idiotic little show, "The West Wing," or a Republican senator on "Brothers and Sisters," or a city manager on "Parks and Recreation," and even John F. Kennedy in "Killing Kennedy." Now most of those out there in Lowe’s neck of the woods would see his having played such characters sufficient to be called political experience. I would have to disagree.
In 2009, the Daily Caller quoted Lowe as saying that he was once "a really, really liberal Democrat." But since getting married and having children, he say that he’s now more of "an independent moderate." While that may be how he views himself, I’d still have to say that some of his positions, while he claims to favor less government involvement in the private lives of Americans, still tilt, for what appear to be for the most part, to the left. So my agreement with him only goes so far.
I’m sure some may recall how it was that back in 1988, Lowe proved just how much of a liberal Democrat he really was. It was while attending the Democrat convention in Atlanta, that he was involved in a sex tape scandal involving two women, one of whom was underage. So I guess while one could say that over the course of the last 26 years Lowe has become a little less extreme in his views to the point where I find myself in agreement with some, he’s still more liberal than not.
OBAMA ORDERS, “DO AS I SAY…NOT AS I DO”….
Once again we seem to be hearing that which amounts to being nothing more than the same kind of advice that we always seem to be coming from Barry "Almighty", our ‘Dear Beloved Leader’. And once again there will apparently be two sets of rules to be followed, one by Barry and one by the rest of us. Because at the very same time that he intends to sign two new executive actions aimed at narrowing the wage gap between men and women on Tuesday, it’s also very widely known that Barry’s White House pays its female staffers less than men.
According to what’s now being reported, the first of these executive actions will be an order banning all federal contractors from retaliation against employees who disclose or ask about their wages. Barry’s second executive action will require federal contractors to submit data to the government about their employees compensation by sex and race. By doing so Barry, I’m quite sure, is hoping to apply pressure on those in the private sector to follow suit, and thus be able to show, in this election year, that he his truly is on their side.
Barry’s signing of these two actions just happens to coincide, or so we’re supposed to believe, with the fact that tomorrow has been identified by advocates as being "Equal Pay Day". Done so, I assume, in order to somehow symbolize the plight of women and the amount of time they had to work before being able to make as much as men did the year before. Barry "Almighty" will sign these two executive orders at the White House. And in the process, and is usually the case with this guy, spew as much nonsensical rhetoric as possible.
According to some empty-headed ACLU bimbo by the name of Deborah J. Vagins, who is also the co-chair of some idiotic little group called the National Paycheck Fairness Coalition, "From making the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act the first bill he signed into law to these actions, the President has proven himself to be a true champion for women in the workplace." Oh really? She can’t be talking about the very same guy who has been paying the men who for him much more than he pays the women who do, can she? I’m afraid that she is.
This moron went to say, "Congress still needs to do its part and pass the Paycheck Fairness Act, but we’re one step closer to achieving pay equity thanks to this White House." Like I said, this genius seems to ignore completely, as liberals always do whenever it comes to anything that involves Barry, the fact that "this White House" can also be said to be guilty of never having paid women the same as men. This is all nothing more than another example of the hypocrisy that is so rampant amongst those who identify themselves as Democrats.
Because despite advocates’ cheers about paycheck equity, Barry’s White House has consistently paid women less than men for years. According to a Daily Caller analysis of "2013 Annual Report to Congress on White House Staff," the most recent available data on White House pay, the White House paid women an estimated 11.8 percent less than men in 2013. And the fact that these people can so easily ignore that fact reveals that their motives are nothing if not highly suspect. It’s not about women receiving equal pay, it’s about politics.
And it was in the year prior, 2012, that the White House paid women 13 percent less than men, and in 2011, according to the Free Beacon, women were paid 18 percent less. To be sure, all the analyzed years were better than what the federal government says is the current wage gap: 23 percent. So what we, more than likely, have taking place here is yet another attempt by Barry to minimize the damage from an election which has now been described by many as likely to be a bloodbath for the Democrats. So we’ll see if women are stupid enough to take the bait.

THE REAL WAR ON WOMEN…
I would be the last one to deny that there is, in fact, going on in this country, a war on women. But what I take exception to is, not only the rhetoric that claims it’s the Republican Party that’s behind it, what this war is really all about. Because this ongoing war has nothing whatsoever to do with a woman’s supposed "reproductive rights", which has essentially been defined as nothing more than women having access to ‘free’ birth control. What it has everything to do with is something that I would hope ‘most’ women come to see as being far more sinister. And that would be her ability to find, and to keep, a job and thus to become self-sufficient.
Women must be made to realize, and many already do, that since Barry first took office, back on that fateful day in January 2009, the U.S. economy has gone on to employ an additional 3,590,000 people. But what has been rather unfortunate is the fact that only 1,386,000 of those people, or roughly 38 percent, have been women. And keep in mind that at the same time, women represent 46.8 percent of the national civilian labor force. That means that women are getting a smaller share of the jobs being added to the economy (38.6 percent) than their representation in the civilian labor force (46.8 percent). And yet, Barry talks of fairness.
The percentage of the added jobs that have gone to women is even smaller if it measured from what is the lowest point of post-recession employment, an event that we’re told took place in December 2009. Since then, it’s only 37.8 percent of the net additional jobs that have gone to women. As of last month, the civilian labor force totaled 156,227,000. This included 83,052,000 (or 53.2 percent) men and 73,175,000 (or 46.8 percent) women. In January 2009, the month Barry was first inaugurated and before his official tenure began, there were 142,152,000 people employed in the United States, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
As of March 2014, there were 145,742,000, or a net increase of 3,590,000 people employed from 2009. The number of additional males employed between January 2009 and March 2014 was 2,204,000, or 61.4 percent, of the total. The number of additional females employed was little more that half of that amount, coming in at 1,386,000, or 38.6% of the total. So what we have seen take place resembles very little the endless rhetoric that we have continued to hear not only from Barry "Almighty" but from just about every Democrat that’s in any position of leadership. These supposed defenders of women are, as it turns out, just the opposite.
According to the National Bureau of Economic Research, the last recession began in December 2007 and supposedly ended, although some would argue that it still hasn’t ended, in June 2009. In the wake of that recession, employment hit a low of 138,013,000 in December 2009. The 145,742,000 who were employed as of March was 7,729,000 above that December 2009 low point. Of that 7,729,000 increase in people employed since the post-recession employment , approximately 62.2 percent were men and 37.8 percent were women. When President George W. Bush took office in January 2001, there were 137,778,000 people employed in the United States.
And eight years later in January 2009, when Bush left office, there were 142,152,000. Of the 4,374,000 additional people employed during Bush’s full two terms, 1,518,000, or 34.7 percent, were men, and 2,855,000, or 65.3 percent, were women. So in effect, what Barry did was to take one of those things that he actually did inherit from Bush, and he then proceeded to completely reverse it. So who is it that can be said to really be leading the war on women? I would think that that now become obvious. And keep in mind also that Barry can’t even bring himself to pay those women who work for him the same amount that he pays the men. And yet he preaches, and nearly ad nauseam, equal pay for equal work. The lies just never stop coming.

HITLERY CLINTON IS NOT WORTHY…
It was just yesterday, April 3, 2014, that the presumed front-runner of the Democrat Party for 2016, none other than Hitlery Clinton, appeared at a gathering referred to as the Women of the World Summit which took place in New York City. And it was at this get together for supposed enlighten females, that Hitlery was asked what it was that she was most proud of during her tenure as Secretary of State. But try as she might the old girl just couldn’t come up with even one concrete example of the numerous accomplishments that she supposedly holds in such high regard. Which only means that she’s in pretty much the same predicament that most of us are in. Can anyone honestly say that our country benefited from her time as our secretary of state?
The moderator asked, "When you look at your time as Secretary of State, what are you most proud of? And what do you feel was unfinished, and maybe have another crack at one day?" To which she, the smartest women in the world, responded, "Well, I really see — that was good — that’s why he wins prizes. Look, I really see my role as Secretary, in fact leadership in general in a democracy, as a relay race. When you run the best race you can run, you hand off the baton. Some of what hasn’t been finished may go on to be finished, so when President Obama asked me to be Secretary of State I agreed." What? Can you run that by me one more time, if you please, I’m not quite sure I got it the first time? I think I must have missed something.
She continued, "We had the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, we had two wars. We had continuing threats from all kinds of corners around the world that we had to deal with. So it was a perilous time frankly. What he said to me was, ‘Look, I have to be dealing with the economic crisis, I want you to go out and represent us around the world.’ And it was a good division of labor because we needed to make it clear to the rest of the world, that we were going to get our house in order. We were going to stimulate, and grow, and get back to positive growth and work with our friends and partners." Hitlery went on to say that she’s proud of the solid leadership from the administration and that they have restored American leadership in the best sense.
And continued, "So I think we did that. I’m very proud of the stabilization and the really solid leadership that the administration provided that I think now, leads us to be able to deal with problems like Ukraine because we’re not so worried about a massive collapse in Europe and China — trying to figure out to do with all their bond holdings and all the problems we were obsessed with. I think we really restored American leadership in the best sense. That, once again — people began to rely on us as setting the values, setting the standards. I just don’t want to lose that because we have a dysfunctional political situation in Washington. Then of course, a lot of particulars, but I am finishing my book so you’ll be able to read all about it."
So, what is it, exactly, that we will all get to read all about? Perhaps about what difference it makes that four Americans, including one of her ambassadors, were brutally butchered in Benghazi? Might that be in that new book of hers? Call me silly, but somehow I doubt it. But I suppose she does have her fan club made up of those who will claim that, despite any facts that may prove otherwise, you simply can’t say that Hitlery Clinton was the worst secretary of state in our history. After all, wasn’t it Sec. of State William Jennings Bryan who resigned in 1915 when President Wilson typed a too-one-sided note to Germany following the torpedoing of the Lusitania? Bryan thought Germany was being ill-used by the dithering Woodrow Wilson.
And let’s not forget Cyrus Vance, Carter’s less than stellar secretary of state. He quit Carter's Cabinet in the wake of the failed effort to rescue our 52 hostages in Iran. But let’s not forget that Vance quit not because the rescue attempt failed, he quit because it was attempted in the first place. Yet Hitlery ‘was’ worse, much worse. It was she who hailed the election of Mohamed Morsi as Egypt's president. This Muslim Brotherhood thug had pledged to be president of all Egyptians. But tell that to the Copts and the Evangelicals. He never considered them part of Egypt's polity. Sharia was his program. Jihad was his way. For confirmation, simply consult the Muslim Brotherhood's own founding documents and its unswerving statements.
Worst of all in the performance of this the worst of all secretaries of state, was her near constant lashing of Israel. She was complicit in this administration's "counting Jews in Jerusalem." As the Endowment for Middle East Truth (EMET) Founder and President, Sarah Stern, pointed out, it was Hitlery who stood by, mute, as Egypt's new foreign minister radically reinterpreted that country's 33-year-old treaty with Israel. Foreign Minister Amr, quoting the then new Muslim Brotherhood president, claimed that the treaty should stand only if based on the pre-1967 borders of Israel. In brief, that means Israel shrunken to nine miles at the narrowest point -- a wholly indefensible border. But Madame Secretary was not just a disaster throughout the Mideast, her ineptitude went far beyond.
Her Russian policy was nothing short of a complete disaster. You may recall her stern warnings that the Russians (and the Chinese) would pay a price for their vetoes of U.N. sanctions against Syria's Alawite regime. Hitlery's toothless threats to make Russia pay a price, I’m sure evoked much laughter in the Kremlin, in much the same way, I’m sure, that Barry’s do today when it comes to the Ukraine and the Russian invasion of Crimea. This is the same Russia to which she gave a pass with her infamous red "Reset" button in 2009. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov was not amused at her adolescent gesture. He pointed out that she hadn't found the right Russian word for "reset", and the button was not even in Cyrillic characters.
As well, Madame Secretary was only too happy to further bend over by choosing not only to send ten Russian spies home, but send them home in first class. She didn't want to let anything disturb Barry's "Hamburger Summit" with then-Russian President Dmitri Medvedev. What an act of weakness! And the Soviets -- er, excuse me, Russians -- would not be slow to feel the slack in our foreign policy line. As that old adage says, nature abhors a vacuum, and it is much the same thing in the world of international affairs. Progressives like Hitlery, and Barry as well, refuse to admit that America has always been a force for good in the world. And when America refuses to lead, others will be only too happy to assume that important role.
Also it was also under the inept stewardship of Hitlery, what America would come to no longer have that "special relationship" with Great Britain. She repeatedly echoed Barry "Almighty's" use of the Argentinian name for the Falkland Islands. It was back in 1982 that Britain had to go to war with the military junta that ruled Argentina at that time in order to protect the right of Falkland Islanders to self-determination. President Ronald Reagan staunchly backed Britain and his stalwart ally, Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. But no more. Madame Secretary refers to the Falklands as "Las Malvinas." But then, at least she didn't compound the gaffe by calling them the Maldives, as Barry "Almighty" did! Yes these two, Barry and Hitlery, made quite the team.
So while I recognize the fact that many of my fellow Americans will be only too happy to give Hitlery high marks, I have a feeling they may have an ulterior motive for doing so. That don’t want to take the chance of jeopardizing any chance that she might yet have to possibly take over the reins of power from her former boss. But in looking back at her horrendous record as secretary of state, we can only hope that that does not actually come to pass. And let’s not forget that on top of everything else Hitlery has continued to push an agenda of abortion and homosexuality worldwide. Neither of which this makes Americans any safer or more esteemed in the world. And just as she was not what America needed as secretary of state, she is most definitely not what America needs as a president.
FILE THIS ONE UNDER ‘A’ FOR…ABSOLUTELY HYSTERICAL!!!
Just when I thought I’ve heard everything from our stellar members of Congress, along comes one of those folks to prove me wrong. And in a big way. Because at a time when my daughter spends far more time in school, roughly 180 days, than do members of Congress actually spend at work, some seem to think themselves underpaid. Now keep in mind that these supposed servants of the people now bring in $174,000 a year, plus some pretty impressive benefits. But according Rep. Jim Moran, a Democrat who’s finally retiring after 23 years, that's simply not enough. He’s kidding, right? Apparently not, he’s dead serious!
So it was then, that in a recent interview this boob said that members need bigger paychecks because, he said, they have to maintain two residences, one in their home district, and one in Washington. He said, "I think the American people should know that the members of Congress are underpaid." He went on to say, "I understand that it's widely felt that they underperform, but the fact is that this is the board of directors for the largest economic entity in the world." Right, and if these people were to perform the same way in the private sector as they have in the public sector, every damn one of them would have been fired a long time ago!
Moran made note of the fact that some members live out of their offices to save money while others have little apartment units. He said, "Our pay has been frozen for three years and we're planning on freezing it a fourth year." Congressional salaries have not seen a bump since 2009, and yet we continue to have quite a number of folks who have managed quite well, having no trouble at all in being able to increase their net worth substantially since first being elected. Moran says he'll bring up the issue in an amendment to a bill to garner attention to the issue, but he assumes it will not pass. I dare them to try sneaking that one past us!
It was the host of "Face The Nation", senile old Bob Schieffer who was apparently in complete agreement with Moran, although he did have a slightly different take on things. While saying he thinks that congressional pay needs a "complete overhaul," he also said, "I propose that they be paid by the hour, just like most government workers." He added, "But they would only be paid while they're legislating." And then we had that doofus, David Gregory, the host of "Meet the Press, who said, "When Congress does so little, as it's done in this Congress ... you're not going to get a lot of sympathy." They don’t deserve what they’re getting now.
As far as I’m concerned these folks are considerably overpaid for the amount of actual work that they perform. Actually how things ought to operate is for these people to have some sort of a fulltime job that’s outside of government with their position in Congress either being performed for free or for some very nominal salary. Being in Congress should not be their only source of income nor their only employment. Or how about this, perhaps if these clones were once again to actually start working for the people and not solely for themselves and if, say, they were to agree to term limits, then we might be in favor of at least ‘considering’ a raise.
But you know, it’s not just members of Congress who are grossly overpaid for the amount of work they don’t do. Something else that REALLY pisses me off is the fact that our waste-of–skin president is making $400 grand, plus plenty of lavish perks, every single year. And it seems like all we’re paying this dumbass to do is to: go on family vacations, ruin our economy, seize control of our healthcare, jet around to fundraisers, gut our military, balloon the size of our government, bankrupt our country, and make America the laughing stock of the entire world. So we’re paying this guy nearly half a million bucks a year to destroy our country?

OBAMA’S NAMESAKE ONLY SLIGHTLY MORE POPULAR THAN HE IS…
Well, while Barry may be none to happy with the Republican’s new budget, and be quite pleased with himself in referring to it as being a "stinkburger", it seems that, at least according to another new poll, more than half of the American people still oppose Barry’s own version of a ‘shit-sandwich’, Obamacare. And it was this same poll that also showed support for Barry’s disaster of a healthcare law is only slightly higher than his own job approval rating. And yet he’s been walking around patting himself on the back because, supposedly, 7 million folks signed up for his own ‘shit-sandwich’.
So it is then that according to a National Public Radio (NPR) poll, not a right leaning group by any stretch of the imagination, conducted March 19-23 of 840 likely voters, 51 percent oppose Obamacare, including 40 percent who strongly oppose it. This compares to 47 percent who support the new healthcare law, of which 28 percent say they strongly favor it. By comparison, Barry's job approval rating is 46 percent, while 51 percent disapprove. Of those who disapprove, 41 percent say they strongly disapprove, compared to 24 percent who strongly support the president.
The pollsters, a duo of which one is a Republican and one is a Democrat, have some rather differing views when it comes to what the data may actually suggest in terms of what impact these views on Obamacare might have regarding Democrats chances in the 2014 midterm elections. "The conventional wisdom that it's an unpopular program that hangs around the necks of Democrats is absolutely a misreading of the poll data," Democrat Stan Greenberg, one of the pollsters, said. Greenberg said that 7 percent of likely voters oppose the law because it doesn't go far enough.
Whit Ayres, the Republican pollster who worked on the survey, however, said the data suggests that Obamacare will still be a great issue for Republicans this fall. He said, "First, more people oppose than support Obamacare, as has been the case since it passed. Second, the intensity is on the side of opposition, and intensity drives voting behavior. Third, independents oppose Obamacare by 21 points in this survey and they hold the balance of power in this election." So what we have here are differing opinions, but as is always the case, opinions are lke assholes, everyone has one.
Personally speaking, I’m hoping that everyone who got screwed over, and continues to get screwed over, by this ‘shit-sandwich’ that is Obamacare, as I did, are as pissed off as I am about it, and stay pissed off until the next November. And every one of those sons-of-bitches who voted for this thing need to be gotten rid of. And another thing, how is it in any way fair for them to be able to escape what we are forced to contend with? Every one of them got a waiver so they don’t have to deal with it, while the rest of us get screwed. We need to send a message this November!
OBAMA, CREATOR OF THE ORIGINAL “STINKBURGER”…
In having been nothing more than a community agitator, and as president having such things like a blatantly bogus economic ‘stimulus’ bill and Obamacare, as well as any number of other policies that have failed miserably, firmly under his belt, I’d say this turd of a president that we’ve saddled ourselves with knows more than a thing or two about "stinkburgers’. So it was then that when Barry compared the new Republican budget plan unveiled by Rep. Paul Ryan earlier this week to a "stinkburger" and a "meanwich", during a speech Wednesday afternoon in Michigan, he knew much about of which he spoke.
Referencing his own trip earlier in the day to what I guess was some local deli there in Ann Arbor, Barry, performing at his presidential best, offered up some suggestions for the name of the GOP budget plan. Barry said, "If they tried to sell this sandwich at Zingerman's they'd have to call it the Stinkburger or the Meanwich." Barry's trip to Michigan provided to him a chance to promote another "stinkburger" of his, which is his plan to raise the federal minimum wage to $10.10. Barry once again seemed to be in campaign mode, as he repeatedly attacked Republicans during his speech at the University of Michigan.
A spokesman for the House Budget Committee said he didn't want to offer a response. Let’s face it, when the guy who is your president insists upon acting like some idiotic punk fresh out of high school, how are you, as an adult, supposed to respond. I mean seriously. You have the guy who’s our president, out on what appears to be a never ending campaign trail, spewing all kinds of idiotic bullshit to a bunch of brainwashed college students. Students with college loans who, I would hope, would expect to earn more than 10 bucks an hour, if they are lucky enough to find a job in what has now become Barry’s economy.
Barry’s campaign-style trip came at a time when both Republicans and Democrats have been attempting to draw contrasts with each other's economic approaches in an election year. Ryan said his budget would cut $5.1 trillion in government spending over the next 10 years and he claims his plan would balance the U.S. books over that same period. Now whether you favor or oppose Ryan’s budget, there is simply no excuse for Barry’s juvenile behavior. But having said that, this type of spoiled-brat mentality from Barry is really nothing new. We’ve seen it many times over the course of the last 5 plus years.
Barry "Almighty" said House Republicans' new budget proposal and coming attempts to repeal the Affordable Care Act "should be familiar because it was their economic plan in the 2012 campaign. It was their economic plan in 2010." He added, in making a reference to that old Bill Murray film, "It's like that movie 'Groundhog Day.'" Adding, "Except it's not funny." Actually what’s "not funny" is the fact that I, like millions of other Americans, have been made to lose our insurance in favor of being forced to accept something that’s far more costly. Now that’s what I call a real "stinkburger." Actually, it’s more of a shit sandwich.
Coincidentally, or not, Barry’s trip to Michigan came one day after the White House claimed that 7.1 million people had enrolled in insurance plans under Obamacare, aka the Affordable Care Act. He said the numbers were enough to fill up the "Big House" — the university's football stadium, 65 times. Of course what he failed to mention his own "stinkburger", which is the fact that over 11 million people have now LOST their health insurance. And I think that for anyone with a brain it should be pretty obvious that the claim of gotten 7.1 million people to sign up is nothing more than another example of Barry & Co. propaganda.
After watching this administration for the last five years, just how stupid does one need to be to believe anything any of these people, including Barry, say? But be that as it may, it continues to be trumpeted and very loudly so by most of the stooges in our state-controlled media complex! Just for the sake of argument let’s assume that they’re telling us the, however unlikely, as I mentioned before what about the millions of folks whose insurance coverage was terminated, because of Obamacare. Anyone think they care that 7.1 million people have supposedly signed up for Barry’s "stinkburger?" I’m thinking they don’t. It’s all a lie anyway.
Yet oddly enough, with this little announcement of Barry’s, some Democrats now seem confident in that they have now at least slowed the bleeding. "It’s changing. If you’ve been around awhile, and I’ve been around awhile, you can sense it," said ‘Little Dick’ Durbin, who’s also the No. 2 Democrat in the Senate. "You’re not going to turn away seven or 10 million people from insurance coverage — doesn’t work anymore." I’m not quite getting the logic here. I just don’t see why, exactly, those who no longer have insurance should somehow feel better because of Barry’s claim to have people signed up to Obamacare.
