ACCORDING TO PELOSI, WHEN IT COMES TO OBAMACARE AND THE MIDTERM ELECTIONS, IT’S ALL GOOD…

In what I’m not quite sure was an attempt to convince herself, her fellow Democrats or we the American voter, Nancy "We Have To Pass It In Order To Find Out What’s In It" Pelosi, scumbag Democrat, said, "No, absolutely not," Democrats should not shy away from supporting Obamacare. That, even though a very heavily favored Democrat, Alex Sink, lost the special congressional election down here in Florida just this past Tuesday. Sink's Republican opponent, a fellow by the name of David Jolly, campaigned against Obamacare, but still, at least according to what Pelosi said at news conference on Thursday, that's not likely to be a winning strategy for Republicans come this November.

Old Nancy said, "I'm very proud of our House Democrats and how they have not only embraced the Affordable Care Act that they helped create, but how proud they are of it. I think that the Republicans are wasting their time using that as their electoral issue, and they will find that out." So I guess, if I’m understanding her correctly, she sees it as being a good thing, and apparently no big deal, that millions of Americans have now lost the healthcare coverage that they liked, myself included. But I’m not sure how she is able to convince herself that this is not, at least potentially, a gift to the Republicans. And who knows, she may even be right. After all, the American voter isn’t known for being particularly bright.

Pelosi said, of course she is disappointed that Sink lost. She described her sense of things by saying, "But I'm very proud of the effort that was made to get out the vote. I think that our candidate Alex Sink -- she's so excellent, so superb. And she said it just right. There are many good things about the Affordable Care Act that are good for the health and well-being of the American people. There are some things that need to be fixed. Let's do that. And that is the message of our members." She then went on to say, "So this is, for us, unfortunate -- came close, within two points. But again, we feel confident about the fuller participation in November and what that will mean for that election."

Jolly still faces a regular election in November, and Pelosi suggested that Democrats could very well prevail when there is likely to be a much larger voter turnout. Pelosi also made it clear that heading into the midterm election, the Democrats' focus will be on women's issues. She said, "House Democrats agree, for many of our members, supporting women, children and families, especially our veterans, has been our life's work. That's why we delivered our agenda...founded on three pillars: fair pay, including paycheck fairness and raising the minimum wage; paid sick leave; and affordable quality child care as the third pillar. We look forward to working together all of us on our agenda." So we’ll see if women are once again are stupid enough to fall for such drivel.

Speaker John ‘Bonehead’ Boehner, had a news conference of his own on Thursday, and was heard to say the Florida election reminds Republicans "that jobs and the economy remain the American people's top priority." But, he said, it's also a reminder "that the American people are still concerned about the president's health-care law." Now he can say what he wants, none of which can be trusted, but from what I’ve been hearing, Boehner wouldn’t have been all that disappointed had Sink actually won. Rumor also has it that Jolly got very little help from the RNC, which only serves to, once again, make the point that if you’re going to contribute you should contribute only to specific candidates. Otherwise you have no idea to whom it is that your money goes.

YES, BY ALL MEANS, WE MUST BE NICER TO THOSE HERE ‘ILLEGALLY’…

Further proof, as if we needed any, that we now find ourselves up to our armpits in what is yet another election season is the fact that Barry "Almighty", our ‘Dear Beloved Leader’, has now launched what’s being called an ‘internal review’ on how he can better provide additional leniency to illegal aliens inside the United States of America. So apparently we must now be kinder and gentler in how we go about sending those who are here ILLEGALLY, back to their nation of origin.

When Barry promised back in 2008 that his would be the most transparent administration in history, I’m assuming here that most people didn’t realize that what he was really talking about was being transparently political. Because that’s all this move is really all about, trying to garner as many votes as possible for the Democrats who just might wind up losing control of the Senate in just a few short months. And I’m sure that this is just the beginning of the antics that we’re likely to be seeing.

Barry’s little announcement that he would seek to grant more executive amnesty to illegal aliens came after he met with three Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) members on Thursday -- CHC chairman Rep. Ruben Hinojosa and Reps. Luis Gutierrez and Xavier Becerra. Hispanic lawmakers have complained vociferously of late about the number of deportations executed by Barry’s administration. Such behavior makes it pretty obvious that these characters are not living up to the oath they took.

In speaking of this idiotic meeting, a readout of what took place was released by the White House that actually said, "The president emphasized his deep concern about the pain too many families feel from the separation that comes from our broken immigration system." What a bunch of political bullshit! But then, this is the exactly the kind of tripe that we have come to expect from Barry. It demonstrated a willingness to do whatever is necessary if it might gain a few Democrat votes.

A Senate GOP aide made the point that these concerns are really overblown because roughly two-thirds of what the amnesty advocacy community is considering deportations are actually removals of people caught as they were trying to cross the border. And Secretary of Homeland Defense Jeh Johnson essentially admitted as much in a recent congressional hearing. So it should make it all the more obvious that Barry’s new approach here is nothing but typical politics, pure and simple.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), which is the law enforcement agency that handles deportations from the nation’s interior, reports that 98 percent of 2013 deportations were of convicted criminals, people who just crossed the border, or people who illegally re-entered the U.S. after being deported before. So if this is in fact the case, I guess Barry would like it much better if we were to just turn a blind eye to those poor unfortunate souls and simply allow them to remain.

Barry kicked off 2014 by asserting his executive powers, infamously saying he has a pen and a phone that he plans to use if Congress does not move forward on his agenda. For the last nearly year and a half, since the 2012 presidential election, Barry has pressured Congress to grant amnesty to illegal aliens. The White House worked with the Senate’s bipartisan, four Democrats plus four RINO, "Gang of Eight" to write an immigration bill that passed the Senate but stalled in the House.

Barry has also tried to pressure the House to move on immigration, and after a recent meeting with the president, Speaker ‘Bonehead’ Boehner said the issue they agreed on most was immigration. Gee, big surprise there, right? Even so, it was a majority of the House GOP conference that very vocally stood up against granting legal status to illegal aliens, and massively increasing legal immigration, during this extended period of high unemployment in America.

Let’s face it, we now have in this country estimated 50.5 million working age, bona fide Americans who are now either officially unemployed or not working, but want to work. And yet, Barry and his merry band of liberal/progressive/communist Democrats seek to flood a sluggish job market that’s already in sad shape, with millions of illegal immigrants? Now I ask you, how much sense does that really make? And why, if not for political reasons, would anyone WANT to do that?

And it was in that summer of 2012, and just before the presidential election I might add, that Barry announced in the White House Rose Garden, with then Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano standing by his side, something called the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which granted executive amnesty to so-called DREAMer illegal alien minors. And that too, I think it pretty safe to assume, was a move made purely out of politics.

And it is said that any additional executive action now would very likely infuriate House Republicans, even those who are in favor of moving forward with amnesty. For instance, House Majority Leader, and bona fide RINO, Eric Cantor, who supports granting legal status to illegal aliens, criticized the administration’s non-enforcement of immigration laws in an addendum to a 2012 report he released on Thursday. But Cantor is just one more who is far from being able to be trusted!

So, like I said in the beginning, with this being an election year it is virtually guaranteed that, whether we’re talking about Obamacare, immigration, extended unemployment benefits or any number of other politically sensitive issues, I’m quite sure that we will see Barry, and the Democrats, pulling out all the stops in an effort to salvage Democrat control of the Senate. And I guess the only question that remains would be one that asks whether the American people, or enough of them, will actually buy it.

I HAVE A DREAM…

 

Yes, my friends, I have a dream. I dream of a day when we'll see a majority of the American people finally snapping out of whatever trance it is that they have been in now for what seems, at least to me, to be decades. That they would finally come to realize that the government, and those who are part of government, be they bureaucrats or politicians, are not, I repeat are NOT, their friends. I dream of a time similar to that of my youth, when people like my folks took great pride in being self-reliant, self-sufficient and who were able to raise a family free of government interference. My father believed in an honest day’s work for an honest day’s pay. He wasn’t afraid of work, having at least two jobs for most of the time I was growing up. And he instilled that work ethic in all of his kids.

I have a dream that once again there would be a majority of people in this country who actually love their country, who still got all teary-eyed at the playing of our national anthem, who recognized the importance of defending our Constitution and of making sure that our government acted responsibly in making sure that future generations would be able to enjoy the level of freedom that our Founders had envisioned for us. I have a dream that people would recognize the need for a military that is second to none, viewing it as being simple commonsense that freedom isn’t free and must be protected. I have a dream that a majority of people would gladly support rules requiring those who wish to join their ranks as citizens of this great country, do so legally and by the rules.

I have a dream that we could see an end to what has become the hyphenated American. That we could all come to the decision to bring an end to the African-American, the Hispanic-American or the Anything Goes-American. I have a dream when we would all look at one another, regardless of our race or religion or country or origin, and see nothing other than a fellow American. I have a dream that more people would come to believe that being an American still meant something special. That while, as a people, we are always willing to lend a helping hand, it should be expected that that helping hand would come with certain limitations. Assistance offered would not be offered with an open end, that those who are offered help would be expected to come to stand on their own.

And I have a dream that people would come to take their right to vote a bit more seriously. And they would also see the importance of protecting that right. I have a dream that a majority of Americans would understand the importance of having someone show some form of identification at the time of voting. And I have a dream that when judging political candidates, more Americans would take the proper measures in determining a candidate’s fitness for holding public office. That more people would look past a candidate’s race or so-called star power. That such things as character, values, integrity, honesty and the standing by one’s principles would become the truly important qualities and/or traits that one would look for in those who one chooses to vote for.

So anyway, there you have it. Now don’t get me wrong, I’m neither foolish, nor naïve, enough to think that much of my dream has much of a chance of ever coming true. Too many people in this country seem have forgotten, or simply have no interest in finding out, what it means to be an American. And I would even go so far as to say that many have been encouraged to do so. And many in this country, when once people came to this country wanting to BECOME an American, now no longer have no such desire to become one of us, seeking only to take advantage of us and of our generosity. The American spirit that once burned so brightly has now become not much more than a flicker. And if we allow it to be extinguished completely, America, as it was meant to be, will surely be dead.

AMERICANS JUST NOT THAT WORRIED ABOUT ‘CLIMATE CHANGE’…

It seems like the Democrat slumber party that took place this past Monday night, in an effort to get more people as worked up about climate change as they are, was pretty much nothing more than a complete bust. Because most Americans still don't view it as being the impending doom that Democrats do. At least that’s what we can glean from a new Gallup poll. Additionally, and according to this very same poll, what is a top priority for most Americans is their being able to have access to affordable energy. They see that as something that is in far more need of being tackled than is the trumped up boogieman of climate change.

This latest poll points out that more than two-thirds, or 67%, if Americans say they worry much more about the availability/affordability of energy, while it’s less than half, or 49%, who worry about climate change. Out of 15 issues, only 24% of Americans care a great deal about climate change, with an additional 25% caring about it a fair amount. Whereas, access to energy was greatly on the minds of 37% Americans, with another 30% saying they cared a fair amount. In all, 67% of Americans care more about keeping their homes heated and lit at an affordable rate, than do the 49% who care more about combating bogus climate change.

I guess that might explain why it is that the idea of getting the Keystone Pipeline built is so popular right now, plus there’s the fringe benefit that it will create thousands of new jobs. If only a certain U.S. president understood that point. But, perhaps we're being a bit too harsh when it comes to the Democrat’s slumber party earlier this week. We did get some good moments, like Cory Booker saying that the first thing he did upon getting his driver’s license was to drive to Hawaii. That type of idiocy is symbolic of how just little credibility these Democrats have in claiming that their next great apocalypse is being caused by man.

Oddly enough, whenever you go looking to see just who it is that’s behind this whole wackadoodle idea, what you usually find, far more often than not, are sleazy characters from the political left. But then that only stands to reason, because who else but liberals would go to all the trouble, and expend all that time and energy in trying to convince people of being a fact, that which is so obviously fiction? Because the majority of the ‘facts’ that are so often used to backup this cockamamie theory are nothing more than endless works of pure fiction. There’s never any there, there. But that still doesn’t stop the scammers.

As was the motivation behind the implementation of Obamacare, it’s nothing other than pure politics that’s the driving force behind ‘global warming’, or, as the nomenclature has now been altered to the more generic sounding, ‘climate change’. There was no genuine concern exhibited for folks who were actually unable to obtain health insurance, just like there is no genuine concern about whether climate change is actually occurring, and if so what might be its cause. These are concoctions that Democrats come up with to assist them in both furthering their anti-American agenda and as a way for them to garner more political power for themselves.

ANOTHER CHAPTER OF THE GAS-BAG CHRONICLES…

And here we have yet another prime indicator that, yes, we are in fact hip deep in the midst of yet another election season. Because there is nothing that drives that point home better than having some leftwing-loon-of-a-Democrat claiming that, yes by golly, he actually does support the building of something like the Keystone XL Pipeline. The Democrat in question, is, of course, none other than ‘Mr. Gasbag’ himself, Steny Hoyer. Steny said he supports building the Keystone XL Pipeline and that he agrees with the State Department’s report that not building the pipeline would increase greenhouse gas emissions. Of course, as is usually the case with Democrats, that support will last only until the next election.

At some little gathering referred to as a pen-and-pad briefing, at the U.S. Capitol on Tuesday, old Steny was asked, "In the State Department’s report, it said that if the Keystone Pipeline is not built, the method of delivering oil would increase greenhouse gases from 28 to 42 percent, are you in favor of not building …." Steny responded, "If it was not built? Sorry, I don’t understand the question." So the question was then reduced to a third grade level and asked again, "The State Department’s report, it said that not building the Keystone pipeline, the method of [delivering the] oil would increase greenhouse gases. Are you in favor of not building the pipeline, even if it means greenhouse gases will increase?"

To which Steny was finally able to respond by saying, "In favor of not building it? I’m in favor of building it. I said about a year ago, I think in this group, that I was for Keystone." He then went on to say, "I think the State Department is correct." Steny said, "The president has made the observation on numerous occasions and I’ve heard him personally, been with him when he said that obviously we want to be on a path away from fossil fuels, but natural gases are preferable to oil, clean air. Obviously, the extraction process itself is concerning to many people, as it well should be. We need to make sure that it’s safe, no harm to the water." Like we need a dimwit like Steny telling us that we need to make sure it’s safe.

And Steny continued, saying, "But I agree with the president. I agree with the observation you just quoted from the State Department that this would be net positive, not a negative, so I support it." Steny had previously stated in 2011 that Republican efforts to force a vote on the Keystone XL pipeline project was a "stick in the eye" of Democrats who oppose it. Keystone, for those of you who may have been living under a rock for the last few years, is, according to the website of TransCanada, the company in charge of the project, the proposed 1,179-mile 36-inch diameter pipeline that will transport crude oil from Hardisty, Alberta, Canada to Steele City, Neb. And a majority Democrats are, in fact, against building it.

So anyway, despite the many claims that he somehow actually does support the energy and the jobs that Keystone XL would provide, we should, by now, also be very aware of Barry’s continuing war on all things fossil fuel related and of his bogus concerns about carbon emissions. It has been these ‘concerns’ that he claims as being the reason behind his continuing refusal to approve the pipeline. But I think we all know the real reason for his stubborn refusal to move ‘forward’ with the pipeline, and it has far more to do with politics that some misplaced concern over carbon emissions. Barry would rather direct billions of taxpayer funds to his ‘green energy’ supporters than to do anything that would actually make this country energy independent.

OBAMA’S WAR ON THE AMERICAN WORKER CONTINUES…

Well, it would seem that none of Barry key demographic groups seem to be fairing all that well in the area of being able to find some form of employment. We know that blacks, and especially black youths, aren’t doing too well, and we also know that women are being made to suffer under the economic policies that have been put in place by Barry. And now we find out that the labor force participation rate in 2013, for Americans in their twenties, hit the lowest level recorded since 1981. And that was as a direct result of the policies enacted by yet another Democrat, none other than Jimmy’ The Boob’ Carter.

Since 2008, or the last year before Barry "Almighty" officially took office, the number of Americans in their twenties who were not in the labor force during the average month has climbed from 8,756,000 to 10,511,000, or an increase of 1,755,000 which is equal to 20 percent. And, I might add, that number is the highest ever recorded by The Bureau of Labor Statistics. Now, that’s quite an accomplishment by Barry. And I can’t help but wonder how many of these twenty-somethings might have thought that it was a shit hot idea to vote for the guy who has made it so difficult for them to now be able to find a job.

The labor force participation rate for 20-29 year olds in the average month of 2013 was 75.5 percent. That is down 3.3 percentage points from 2008, when it was 78.8 percent. Labor force participation for Americans in their twenties peaked in 1989 at 81.3 percent, being able to take full advantage of was then the very robust Reagan economy. In 2013, the labor force participation rate for 20 through 24 year olds was 70.7 percent, the lowest it has been since 1971. In 2008 the labor force participation rate for 20 through 24 year olds was 74.3 percent. So we can see that during Barry’s tenure it has now dropped 3.6 percentage points.

So as Barry’s ‘fundamental transformation’ of America remains pretty much on track, it’s at the same time that the country is made to steadily come further off the tracks. And as it is made to do so, there is nothing that could please Barry more. And while Barry may love to talk about job creation, it is not his intent to actually create an environment that would actually encourage job growth. That because his real interest lies in being able to get as many Americans as possible firmly attached to the government teat which will result in his being able to more easily convince those people of the ‘importance’ for voting for Democrats.

A SAD STATE OF AFFAIRS…

I’m now this close to simply giving up on the fact that there remains in this country enough people who actually care whether it survives. At least in the same form as it was created by our Founders and entrusted to future generations for safekeeping. Because I think we can now safely agree that those generations have failed, and failed miserably, at the task with which they were entrusted to complete.

And really, I think it safe to say that things have been headed downhill for a very long time. It’s as if we, the American people, have had some sort of death wish for what has been, essentially, the last hundred years. Or, a period of time that began with Woodrow Wilson and will apparently end with Barry "Almighty". And the damage that has now been done, I fear, is irreparable. And yet, so few seem to care.

And now with the current sad state of our American electorate, I have little doubt that should Hitlery Clinton run, she will most likely win. And should that actually come to pass, then America’s fate will most assuredly be sealed. And those who’s mission it has been, for decades, to destroy this the last best hope of man on Earth, will be able to celebrate the fact that their mission has finally been accomplished.

Those of us who still believe in America, and in the values that made her great, now, and most definitely, seem to be in the minority. The well was long ago poisoned, so to speak. Decades of liberal policies combined with the fact that millions have now been brainwashed into believing that being reliant on oneself is bad and reliant on the government is good, have now greatly reduced our numbers.

Those qualities, or traits, that were once so easily identifiable as being those which made the people of America so truly unique when compared to other peoples of this Earth, have now, through a combination of exposure to a failed public education system and poor upbringing, been diluted to the point where they have now become all but completely non-existent. And what has resulted from that, should not surprise.

Plus, over the course of the last few decades, America has been forced to experience what has been nothing less than a massive influx of people into country who bring absolutely nothing with them and yet expect to be given everything upon their arrival. And it would seem that neither of our political parties is willing to take the measures that we all know have become necessary and so badly needed.

So, short of an uprising by those of us who still love this country and who desire nothing more than for a return to those principles that made America great, I fear we are about to reach what some have called the point of no return. We must now take it upon ourselves to remind our politicians, in what little time we may have left, that the path they now have us on is not the right one. We must demand change.

DEMOCRATS AND THE MYTH THAT IS ‘CLIMATE CHANGE’…

It seems that the Democrats are about to make what is a major contribution to that which many of them claim is the next apocalypse to engulf planet Earth, and what some of them have even gone so far as to label as the equivalent of a weapon of mass destruction. You see it’s a majority of Senate Democrats, beginning today, who will launch an overnight "talkathon" in an effort to draw attention to what is nothing more than the unproven theory of ‘climate change’.

This equivalent of a little overnight pajama party for Democrats, was organized by Sen. Brian Schatz, Democrat from Hawaii, the supposed home state of Barry’s, but which he seems to think is part of Asia. This latest circus is part of the recently launched Senate Climate Action Task Force which is headed up by that purveyor of all things nutty, none of than Babs Boxer of California and, in this case, her trusty sidekick, Sheldon Whitehouse from Rhode Island.

In a statement, Babs said Democrats want to "wake up Congress" to the dangers of climate change. What a cockamamie bunch of bullshit. While this marathon exhibition of insanity is not technically a filibuster, because there is no legislation currently under debate, since overnight sessions are rare it will still likely draw much attention to the topic by many Democrat allies in our state-controlled media. Which I think we all know is precisely the goal.

This idiotic exhibition by the Democrats is cause for much confusion because these senators are calling for action in a chamber that they control and in the absence of any specific legislation, or even any timetable for action this year. So what this should be reported as being, but most assuredly won’t be, is the political stunt that it is. But such labels are more often reserved for such events as the filibuster against the funding of Obamacare by Ted Cruz last September.

Whitehouse spokesmoron Seth Larson said the overnight event is "just one of a number of steps that the Senate Climate Action Task Force will be taking this year, and we hope it will help get more Americans engaged in the important debate about how we can act on climate change." The best way we can act on ‘climate change’ is to do nothing. This entire effort to promote ‘climate change’ is really nothing more than part of what is nothing but a very elaborate scheme.

The whole issue of ‘climate change’ has always proven to a rather politically volatile one. In the past Congress has tended to shy away from serious legislative efforts with the exception being when in 2010 House Democrats narrowly approved a bill to cap carbon emissions. That bill was ultimately viewed as contributing to the party's electoral losses that same year. Senate Democrats never even bothered to take it up. Maybe because it was a jobs killer!

At this point in time 28 Democrat senators have signed up to speak through Monday night, but as to be expected some of the party's most vulnerable senators facing re-election this year decided to take a pass. Such notables as Mary Landrieu of Louisiana, Mark Pryor of Arkansas, Kay Hagan of North Carolina are missing from the lineup. They seem to be in no hurry to add to their current problem of having to try to defend their support for Obamacare,

Hopefully what this entire exercise in political fantasy may well end up doing is to provide what could be some rather excellent campaign footage for the Republicans to go along with what is already an over-abundance of Obamacare footage. But I can only guess that Democrats somehow see this as being an issue that they can also win on. Even when faced with the fact that there is less and less scientific fact that can be used to back up their claims. There’s no there, there.

OBAMA’S FOREIGN POLICY IS A DISASTER…

It just never ceases to amaze how it is that so many in our state-controlled media complex, folks who seem to take great pride in referring to themselves as being ‘journalists, are always so surprised to find out that no one but them really ever bothers to listen to anything that Barry ‘Almighty’ has to say. I mean, the man lies like a rug and has this rather nasty habit of, at least when dealing with the enemies of our country, making nothing but empty threats.

Barry has now made it so that America is seen, by both friends and foes alike, as being nothing but weak. He repeatedly draws lines in the sand only to redraw them later and to the point where they become absolutely meaningless. He abandoned those in Eastern European essentially leaving them at the mercy of Putin and Russia. He sides with communist dictators in Central America, and it seems that the only country that he appears willing to makes threats against is, Israel.

Barry once made the promise that he would make it so America would once again be respected. But he seems to have a rather odd way of trying to accomplish that. Because in order for one to respect America, one must also possess a certain level of fear of America. And today, courtesy of what has been five years of abysmal foreign policy decisions, America is no longer feared by anyone. And as such, we are no longer respected by anyone. Which, I would argue, was Barry’s objective.

While many of us view both Barry’s foreign and domestic policy as being unmitigated disasters, he on the other hand views himself as making great strides on both fronts. Here at home through insane spending objectives he has our country on the verge of complete financial and economic collapse. Abroad he has made it so America receives about as much respect as does nearly any third world banana republic. He clearly sees himself as having achieved his goal of reducing America’s ability to influence.

RUSSIA ON THE MOVE AND WHAT DOES OBAMA DO? GOES ON ANOTHER VACATION…

Yup, it must be hard work spending trillions of dollars that you don’t have, gutting the military to levels that haven’t been seen since before World War II or getting as many folks as you possibly can addicted to the government. I mean how else can you explain the need for Barry and clan to be taking their third taxpayer funded vacation of this very short year? We should all have a job that is as strenuous as is the job of destroying our country.

But darn the bad luck, because rumor has it that Barry, Moochell and the girls may have to cut their latest vacation short because of those pesky Russian’s and their meddling in the Ukraine. Barry’s current plan for the weekend is to escape the cold, snowy doldrums of Washington, D.C. for some rest and relaxation in sunny Key Largo, Fla. But that too may be a ‘working’ vacation since I swear I read somewhere that Barry was booked for a fundraiser.

However, despite Barry’s silly threats that he’ll hold his breath until he turns blue, Putin has done little with pro-Russian forces and the Russian government making swift military and political moves in Ukraine’s Crimea region. Consequently, Barry’s Key Largo holiday could be in peril. "It is possible the president may return to the White House on Friday as events unfold in Ukraine," White House spokesmoron Josh Earnest said on Thursday. Oh well!

The excuse for this urgently needed break from the hurly-burly of the White House is that both Barry and Moochell are scheduled to speak about the value of education at Coral Reef High School in Miami. So, what the heck, why not spend the rest of the weekend basking on the sandy beaches and two golf courses of the Ocean Reef Club—a private, five-star paradise on 2,500 lush, tropical acres? Unless of course, some pesky world events get in the way.

It was just last month that Barry flew to Southern California over Presidents Day weekend to meet with King Abdullah II of Jordan and play some golf on the posh Sunnylands estate. The trip also included a round of golf on a private, 19-hole course owned by Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison, one of Barry’s billionaire supporters. Well I guess as long as it wasn’t owned by one, or both, of those dastardly Koch brothers Barry has no need to worry.

Then later this month, Moochell our globetrotting first lady, with the daughters in tow, will jet off to China for over a week of much-needed sightseeing. The president won’t be making the trip but his mother-in-law, Marian Robinson, will be tagging along on the federal dime. Well we quite the first family of moochers. Never pay for anything yourself when you can have the taxpayers pay for it for you. What a deal these creeps have going for them.

The first couple racked up an $11 million tab on travel to South Africa to attend Nelson Mandela’s funeral in December 2013. Amazingly, the presidential pair was on the ground for fewer than 13 hours. In June, Moochell felt compelled to go to Ireland for two days. She stayed at a $3,300-per-night hotel in Dublin. The total cost of her taxpayer-funded trip was $5 million. But hey, I suppose it could have been worse, after all it was only two days.

I have a rather difficult time watching these useless individual traipsing on their third vacation of the year at a time that I doubt very much if I’ll even get one vacation this year. And the reason for that is the very same guy who’s now going on his third. Thanks to Barry, my health insurance goes up next month, I’m paying twice as much for gas as I was when he came into office, and I’m paying way more for groceries and to heat my house.

So thanks to this socialist piece of dog squeeze, my disposable income has now been reduced to pretty much zip-point-shit, while he heads to a warmer climate on my dime. It’s a good gig if you can get it. And now he wants to spend nearly $4 Trillion next year. He’s already got the government bringing in more revenue than ever before, and it’s not enough. He’s bankrupted my kids, and that too isn’t enough? This insanity has got to be brought to an end!

THE BELIEVERS IN ‘MAN-MADE CLIMATE CHANGE’ ARE THE TRUE ‘FLAT-EARTHERS’…

Well it would seem that according to U.N. climate change chief Christiana Figueres, extreme weather events like the winter freeze being experienced here in North America and the devastating floods that are apparently occurring in England just might have, what she referred to as, a "silver lining". Meaning, I guess, that such events should be seen as being a reminder that urgently addressing climate change is not a politically partisan issue. But that’s exactly what it is. And it’s being pushed by the left.

It was while providing a recent interview that this ‘expert’ on climate change said, "There's no doubt that experiencing these weather events, which I call experiential evidence of climate change, does raise the issue to the highest political levels." While there’s no doubt that we have been experiencing these events, there does remain a great deal of doubt when it comes to why. I would argue that they are simply natural occurring events because, despite all of the nutty claims, there is very little actual proof that they are anything else.

But I guess when you’re a ‘climate change’ supporting loon under the employ of the United Nations, that possibility just never really enters your mind. Because she went on to say, "It’s unfortunate that we have to have these weather events, but there is a silver lining if you wish, because these weather events, what they remind us is that solving climate change, addressing climate change in a timely way, is not a partisan issue." Actually, what it is, is a completely insane issue that IS politically motivated!

She said, "It’s not like these weather events affect those who are on the left of the political scale or those who are on the right. It doesn’t matter where you are in politics, nationally or internationally, you get the same impact. The longer we wait to have policy that positively affects the trajectory of [greenhouse gas] emissions, the more of these events we’re going to have." And on what does she base this argument, on her bunions? The ones who are so eager to blame man, are those on the left!

Figueres, whose official title is the executive secretary of the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change, cited some of the extreme weather events of recent times. Despite what this idiot may think or say, this is a very politically charged issue, and has very little basis in any actual science. It has been shown, repeatedly, that the numbers have been, and are continuing to be, fudged. And yet this continues to be portrayed as the next great apocalypse or as a "weapon of mass destruction."    

Supporters of this theory use faulty computer models designed to support the complete nonsense that Ms. Figueres and her colleagues endlessly peddle. She goes on to say, "Who had ever heard of the [polar] vortex in New York, right, before that weird weather? Incredible heat that Australia has suffered, the floods in the U.K, and you name it, it goes on and on and on and on. Frankly, there’s no country that has been exempted from very strange weather over the past, let’s say, one or two years."

And again she makes the claim, "And these very strange, extreme weather events are going to continue both in their frequency and in their severity. It’s not that climate change is going to be here in the future; we are experiencing climate change." And she says, "We can no longer afford not to take very, very clear action." You know, it was loons just like Ms Figueres, here, that back in the 70s were warning us all to start preparing for the coming ice age. Whoops, missed that one!

So with Ms. Figueres apparently at the helm, the U.N. climate change agency is pushing for a long-elusive binding and universal agreement on reducing emissions of carbon dioxide and other "greenhouse gases" blamed for climate change. A U.N. climate conference is planned for Lima, Peru next December, when activists are hopeful an international agreement draft will be drawn up for approval at the next big gathering, in Paris, France in Nov.-Dec. 2015. We should simply no attend either.

Ms. Figueres, a Costa Rican appointed by U.N. secretary-general Ban Ki-moon in 2010 and reappointed in 2013, said she regarded her work not just as important, but as "sacred." And she went on to say, "It is something that I love doing because this is the most important challenge that humanity has ever faced." She added, "So many people say ‘that’s the most difficult job in the world.’ I say it’s the most sacred job in the world. We are holding the responsibility for future generations." What a bunch of malarkey!

WHAT DO MSNBC AND ‘STAR WARS’ HAVE IN COMMON???

O'DONNELL, SCHULTZ, SHARPTON, MATTHEWS AND MADDOW

I think it rather obvious that the moon-bats over at MSNBC decided long ago to forgo the taking part in anything that would even remotely resemble actual journalism and instead to embark on what would be a new trail. A trail that apparently had as its destination in "a galaxy far, far away." This rather odd assemblage of kooks, weirdos and all around strange individuals decided that it should become their mission to ridicule, slander and disparage, all things conservative as well as those who profess to be conservative in their philosophy. These folks have become so consumed in their effort to defend Barry they no longer have any credibility.

It was on Thursday’s episode of his ratings juggernaut over on the afore mentioned network, that none other than Chris "I Gotta Tingle Going Up My Leg" Matthews who said, in describing the conservative attendees to CPAC, "Do you remember the bar scene in 'Star Wars,' with all those wild-eyed creatures from every part of the solar system?" Now in seeking my own personal comparison to the scene to which he refers, it’s folks like Rachel Maddow, Ed Schultz, Al Sharpton and even old Matthews himself that immediately come to mind. I mean think about it, do these folks not remind you of that scene?

But anyway, Matthews continued with his juvenile commentary saying, "Well, today here in Washington, the whole tapestry of weirdness was reenacted at the annual convention of something called CPAC, the Conservative Political Action Committee." He went on to say, "Well, actually, 'conservative' doesn't quite capture this out-of-this-world jamboree. " Matthews continued, "At CPAC, it's the far-out sharing space with the even further out, a place for the crazy car to fill up with the usual suspects, Cruz and Paul and Rubio and Bobby Jindal, while gassing up with the craziest bunch of ideas since Rick 'Oops' Perry couldn't remember that list of government agencies he wanted to kill..."

And then, as if taking his orders from none other than ‘Dingy Harry’ Reid himself, which he probably is, Matthews also did his best to tie conservatives to some of their more wealthy supporters saying, "It was pure Koch brothers populism being sold out there today, words and phrases crafted to heat up the peanut gallery, translating to cold cash for the oil patch billionaires who approved the script." Now of course there was absolutely no mention whatsoever of the Democrat Party’s primary sugar-daddy, George Soros. No, we mustn’t go there. That’s entirely different, there’s simply no comparison.

Joining Matthews in his little trip down "Evil Emperor" lane, in exploring the events taking place at what he gleefully described as the "crazy room", was none other than former Pennsylvania governor, ‘Fast Eddy’ Rendell. It was ‘Fast Eddie’ who, you may recall, thought that the good thing about the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting was that it was so horrific in nature. Matthew, who is one of those folks assumed to be rather wealthy himself, commented to Rendell, "Governor, it's amazing to me how the regular people fall for this stuff put together by the richest people."

Matthews said he'll "probably sneak by the CPAC convention this week. He said, "They're always friendly." Then added. "You probably haven't been to these conventions, but you know who goes there." Matthews told Rendell, "Regular -- mostly guys, mostly guys in their late 20s, early 30s. They're just intellectuals. They're not rich. They may make $30 (thousand) a year, if they're lucky. They're just regular people." Exactly, regular people who are watching as Matthews’ hero destroying their country and want to do something to stop it! Obviously, Chris just doesn’t get it.

Because he kept blabbering on saying, "And yet they all buy into this. Let's get rid of Dodd-Frank. Let's get rid of the -- they -- why do they benefit from any of this stuff, this crazy right-wing economic agenda? I just don't see why regular people buy into what's the Koch brothers' ambition. That's what I don't get." To which Fast Eddie responded in typical fashion, "Because they're angry and they react to red meat. Angry people react to red meat. They don't think." I guess as far as Rendell is concerned, it depends on who it is that’s throwing around the red meat, because obviously he thinks it just fine when Barry does it.

AL ‘BULL HORN’ SHARPTON IS OBAMA’S GO TO GUY…

That rather infamous faux preacher, professional race baiter, community agitator and malignant rabble-rouser, as well has the host of that MSNBC ratings juggernaut, "Politics Nation", none other than Al ‘Bull Horn’ Sharpton, recently voiced his displeasure upon finding out that the Senate rejected Debo Adegbile, defender of cop killer Mumia Abu-Jamal and Barry’s nominee to be the nation’s chief civil rights attorney, claiming that it sets "a bad precedent." But by whose definition is it a bad precedent?

Ya know, there is really very little that this racist boob can say that surprises me anymore. And it was the fact that seven Democrats joined with 44 Republicans to sink Adegbile’s nomination that got Al’s panties in a bunch. He said, "This is a bad precedent. It is bad voting, and those Republicans and Democrats, we need to remember they did this." What I found to be the most shocking was the fact that there were any Democrats who saw fit to go along with the Republicans on this.

In an effort to refresh everyone’s memory regarding just what a piece of work that Sharpton is defending here, it was this guy, Adegbile, who while working for the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund that he represented convicted Philadelphia cop killer Mumia Abu-Jamal, arguing before the Supreme Court that Abu-Jamal’s conviction should be overturned because of some supposed discrimination in jury selection. Jamal is now serving life in prison without parole.

And what Sharpton essentially did in decrying this rejection by the Senate, was to lie when he said, "Adegbile was voted down today because of his work at the NAACP Legal Defense Fund. That’s the legendary civil rights firm founded by Thurgood Marshall. It’s the group that brought us the Brown vs. Board of Education case ending segregation in schools, but today critics pounced on the group’s defense of Mumia Abu Jamal, a man convicted of murdering a police officer back in 1982."

Sharpton ranted, "Abu Jamal has always claimed his innocence, but senators voting no today declared the president’s nominee guilty by association, even though he was merely giving this defendant his constitutional right to a fair defense." Adding, "How can you hold a lawyer responsible for the alleged crimes of his client? It would have a chilling effect on courts all over the country and undercut every Americans’ right to a fair trial." But the facts tell a far different story than the one Sharpton tells.

He then went on to pose what I’m assuming was maybe meant to be a rhetorical question, saying, "What does it say about the judges, who for all of these years voted to give Jamal a new trial or voted another hearing, who were more directly involved than this man, who was just a part of the Legal Defense Fund that was there to make sure this man had a fair trial when there were so many questions that were still unresolved?" This guy, Adegbile was much more than merely an attorney in this case.

In a statement made on the National Action Network’s website, Sharpton, who heads up this idiotic little outfit, called the Senate’s failure to confirm Adegbile "a smack in the face of all Americans" and "a betrayal to those of us that see civil rights legal work as a credible and patriotic duty of those that practice law in this country." There’s not an ounce of truth in anything that Sharpton says and he knows it. To believe Sharpton is to ignore what Adegbile’s real role was.

Sharpton said, "This vote, not only denies Americans a qualified civil rights chief in Justice Department, it also says now that if you work for a civil rights legal organization and engage in cases deemed controversial that you are disqualified from high level public service," adding that it "marginalizes, if not demonizes civil rights lawyering in the country." He pledged, "The vote of Democrats on this is a betrayal that should not go unanswered." Sharpton can make all the threats he wants.

Look, this is all nothing more than simply more of the same kind of incendiary trash-talk that Sharpton has always been known for. And ya know, if this supposed man of God truly cared about people, I just don’t think he’d go around spewing this kind of toxic racial hatred. But he doesn’t care about people, the only thing he cares about is himself. Personally I think he derives some sort of sick pleasure from stirring up as much hate and discontent between people as he possibly can.

OBAMA HITS A NEW LOW…

So we’re saddled with a guy, and for another 3 years, that a supposed majority of Americans ‘chose’ to re-elect in 2012. And, oddly enough, this would be the very same guy who 60 percent of Americans now say has made the country much worse than it was when he first came into office. But the question that remains is, does he really care what we, the American people, think when it comes to how it is that he goes about doing his job?

According to a new poll, only 34 percent think that the country is actually better off than it was before Barry. And I’ll bet most of those folks are in the black community. Because short of being caught standing over a dead body with the murder weapon in his hand, I doubt very many blacks would ever turn on this guy. And they may not even do so in the scenario I just described. Because for this very select crowd, he can simply do NO wrong.

Strangely enough though, Barry does seem to be slipping among some Democrats. In 2012, 81 percent felt the country was better off; that figure is now 57 percent. Still, for some bizarre reason, more than half of all Democrats still seem to be of the opinion that our country remains on the right path. Although how it is that anyone can arrive at that conclusion, is beyond me. It seems that every day we get more bad news about the state of our Republic.

We’re told that this new poll brings with it some more bad news for our ‘Dear Beloved Leader’. Because it would seem that on practically every key issue from the economy and job creation to healthcare and foreign policy, a majority of Americans would agree that Barry's performance has been nothing more than pretty piss-poor. So it is then that statistically, it is this week that Barry can now be said to have hit a record low in popular opinion.

Most Democrats, 71 percent, still continue to support their man. Sixty percent or better of Democrats actually think that he has basically succeeded in dealing with the country's main challenges. Which just goes to show you how far left the Democrat Party has moved these days. But when it comes to the area of governmental transparency, even Democrats give Barry what is essentially a failing grade with only a 47 percent approval rating.

However, Independents and Republicans frown on his overall performance, with only 28 percent of independents, and 5 percent of Republicans approving of how Barry continues in the performance of his job. On creating jobs, 59 percent of the country believes that Barry has failed. Regarding his overall handling of the economy, 58 percent give him a thumbs down, and 36 percent are somehow able to say that they think he’s doing a good job.

I’m sure everyone remembers how Barry once promised that his would be the most transparent administration in history, but according to this poll 59 percent think Barry has pretty much failed on that score. Far from being the most transparent, what we have been witness to since his first day in office is one of the most secretive, if not THE most secretive, administration in our history. This guy makes Richard Nixon look like a rookie.

Barry has invested much political capital on Obamacare. But overall 59 percent, at least of those responding to this poll, disapprove of Barry's handling of healthcare, while 36 percent actually approve. Asked directly if Barry had mostly succeeded or mostly failed on improving the country's healthcare system, 57 percent say he mostly failed; 36 percent think he has mostly made things better. You have to wonder who those 36 percent are.

The poll shows that 56 percent of Americans disapprove of how Barry manages foreign policy, while 33 percent approve. A majority, 59 percent, say he has mostly failed to improve America's image around the globe. That is a new low for Barry who garnered a 39 percent approval and 52 percent disapproval on foreign policy in December. I mean how can anyone look at how this boob represents this nation when abroad and not be embarrassed.

Strangely enough, Barry's positives are highest on homeland security. On that subject, 41 percent think his administration has as a rule succeeded. That is still worse than the 52 percent who approved in 2012. Some 48 percent today feel that Barry has by and large failed to secure the homeland. You can count me in that group, because we are nowhere near as safe as we were when Bush was president. No one fears us, they only laugh at us.

But there was something in this poll that was described by some as being a glimmer of good news for Barry, at least on the economy. Because according to this newest poll, it’s only 51 percent of Americans who now think the economy is getting worse, and that's down from 55 percent who felt negatively in February 2013. So somehow over the course of the last 12 months he’s managed, I guess, to convince 4 percent more of the people that he knows what he’s doing. Still not exactly a ringing endorsement.

LOOKING AHEAD, VICE “FORWARD”…

I heard Paul Ryan say the other day that he still couldn’t believe that he and Mitt Romney had lost to these guys. And I thought to myself, I can. The guys who won were the ones willing to do whatever it took to win, meanwhile, the guys on our side, just didn’t seem like they wanted it that badly. And that’s what many people saw, and what resulted in the fact that 14 million people who voted in 2008, simply chose to stay home in 2012. That kind of lunacy cannot be repeated.

Maybe if Romney and Ryan had been a bit more willing to confidently support the conservative positions on the important issues instead of merely pussyfooting around things like they did, they might have been able to convince more people to turn out. And maybe if Romney had been a bit more aggressive in going after the guy whose job it was that he was supposed to be after, the same thing might have taken place. But nope, so our guys lost to what was, at least on paper, a much weaker team.

And now once again there’s talk among some on our side for the need of running a Jeb Bush or a Chris Christie. In other words, two more guys who have a rather difficult time getting in touch with their conservative side. Of course, that’s even if they have a conservative side. Because both of these guys seem to take a great deal of pride in being identified by that rather vague moniker of, centrist. And as we have now experienced in two presidential elections in a row, those guys simply can’t win.

Also with what’s now at stake, that being the survival of our country, we need to be much more willing to get down into the mud in doing battle with our opponents, and to go for the jugular in 2014 as well as in 2016. And we’re going to have to develop a take-no-prisoners mentality as well as to jack up the aggressiveness when it comes to how we approach the coming electoral battles. We will need to come to the table with strategies that will convince the voter who it is that has the better cure for what ails our country.

We’re going to needs guys, and/or gals, who aren’t afraid of a good fight, people who aren’t afraid to bloody a nose or to get their hands a little dirty. We need to make it crystal clear, and from the outset, that the shape our country is in today is not the fault of conservatism. We need to direct attention in the direction of nearly any big city or state where you have had liberals at the helm, so that folks can plainly see what lies ahead for this country if we remain on our present, and very liberal, course.

After eight years of having had Barry at the helm of this ship of ours, called America, it will most assuredly end up listing dangerously to the left and on the verge of capsizing. And by then very little will be needed to finally nudge it all the way over. And now there’s talk of Hitlery possibly running for president. If, God forbid, she were to actually win that’s all that would be needed to finally finish us off. So we on the right will need a strong, confident and viable candidate to oppose her or any Democrat.

We’re rapidly running out of time, things get more precarious with the passing of each and every day. And whether we’re talking about 2014 or 2016, while we must focus on the more conservative candidates, we must also focus on those candidates who have the best chance to win. We cannot afford to allow ourselves to lose sight of what the objective is here, which is the ‘righting’ of our ship. It is now imperative that the adults regain control of things with the children being sent off to their room.

THE CONTINUING NIGHTMARE THAT IS OBAMACARE…

"DOCTOR, YOU DON'T NEED NO STINKIN' DOCTOR!"

Ya know, it seems that the more I hear about this government seizure of how I can now obtain healthcare for myself and my family, it only seems to get worse. Because now, under the Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare, the Health and Human Services Department is spending billions of dollars to expand community health clinics, which are mainly staffed by nurse practitioners and physician assistants. Who but those in government, who will still get to see real doctors, would think this is a good idea.

"It's going to be one part of a complex part of the health care system," Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, one of the architects of our new government controlled healthcare system, told Fox News's Bill O'Reilly Tuesday night. "So if your kid has a sore throat and you want to find out if it's strep throat, or your kid has what appears to be an ear infection and you want to find out if it's otitis media -- you really don't need to go to the pediatrician. You can go to these clinics." But maybe I WANT my kid to see a pediatrician.

"But there aren't any doctors," O'Reilly challenged. To which this sleazy little creep confidently responded, "Well, you don't need a doctor for every part of your health care." To which I thought to myself, "Who says? Some pencil-necked geek like this piece of dog-squeeze?" So now, I guess, we’ll have some government dweeb who will be the one to decide whether or not I really need to see a doctor. So this is how the greatest healthcare system in the world comes to an end. Unless, of course, we’re able repeal it.

"You don't need a doctor," O'Reilly echoed. "If I want a strep throat diagnosis, I don't want Lenny who just came out of the community college..." Emanuel then said, "Excuse me, but those are nurse practitioners -- it's not Lenny out of a community college." And then he said, "And it is just putting a swab back there and getting a strep throat assessment." Look, I know this clown is ‘supposed’ to be some kind of a doctor, but would you see him if you were really sick? Come on folks, this is insanity. Pure unadulterated insanity!

Emanuel said electronic health records make it possible for the clinic to send the diagnosis to a patient's primary physician. O'Reilly said he's worried about the privacy of electronic medical records. Then this butt-wipe actually said, "We have laws to protect the privacy." Right, we have laws to protect privacy. What planet is this moron from? Let’s be real, these days there is no such thing as privacy, especially in any area where our government is now involved. Nearly everyday you’re hearing about some new breach of ‘security’.

Several times during the interview this idiotic dolt accused O'Reilly of "sowing fear with no grounds." O’Reilly said, "You know me, I'm afraid of everything." Bill went on to say, "Say TMZ offers somebody like $5,000 to get a famous person's medical records. Is that unheard of? Is that unheard of? Come on, is that unheard of? You know it goes on all the time." And O’Reilly is right on this. And to actually believe that something like this wouldn’t happen is naive. Actually, it’s worse than naïve, it’s dangerous.

But Emanuel insisted on downplaying any and all concerns saying, "They will not, they have high security and everyone is well aware of this, and they are taking it seriously. And if they -- if they didn't, they would have already offered that for electronic health records and we would have seen the breach." Emanuel said 80 percent of doctors now use electronic health records -- "and there has not been that kind of breach." And we’re just supposed to believe what this boob tells us, no questions asked? No, I don’t think so.

Our country is now spinning wildly out of control, and this blatant seizure, by the Democrats, of our ability to gain for ourselves access to adequate healthcare is but one piece. Those of us who are truly interested in righting this ship that is now listing dangerously to the left must show up to the polls this November and reject every single Democrat on the ballot. To do anything else would be to do the equivalent of turning our backs on our children, telling them they’ll simply have to fend for themselves!

OBAMA MUST THINK WE’RE ALL PRETTY STUPID…

Ok people listen up. What we now have going on is more of the same kind of shit that our slimy president is known for. Because in his announcing yet another delay in the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare, what we essentially have here is really nothing more than another attempt by Barry to lessen the fallout from his debacle of a healthcare law likely to impact his fellow Democrats this November. This latest gem would allow insurers to continue offering health plans that do not meet Obamacare's minimum coverage requirements.

This most recent move of Barry’s would prolong the one-year "keep your plan fix" the purpose of which is to avoid another wave of health policy cancellations which could hurt Democrats just weeks before the November midterm elections, or so The Hill is reporting it. "The cancellations would have created a firestorm for Democratic candidates in the last, crucial weeks before Election Day," The Hill said. "The White House is intent on protecting its allies in the Senate, where Democrats face a battle to keep control of the chamber."

This latest unconstitutional fix of Barry’s had been put in place late last year after an uproar erupted when millions of people discovered their existing plans were being cancelled under Obamacare despite Barry’s repeated promises, 23 of them, that folks could keep their plans. The administration has yet to confirm the policy change, but insurance sources told The Hill that a public announcement would be "imminent." It remains unclear how long the extension would be, but one source believed it could last until the end of Barry's second term.

This latest move would follow numerous other delays unilaterally decided by Barry "Almighty". It was back in July that he announced a one-year delay until 2015 of the employer mandate which would have required businesses to provide health insurance to employees by Jan. 2014 or face a tax penalty. Then, just this past February, he changed the deadline again, moving it to 2016. The move provoked widespread criticism among Republicans who renewed their criticism that the healthcare law is nothing more than a "train wreck."

Karl Rove stated the obvious when he said at the time that the decision was a politically calculated strategy to save Democrats in the run-up to the elections. "The president didn't want another avalanche of cancellations before this fall's midterm election," Rove said, adding that if millions lose their insurance plans shortly before the election, "the consequences would be disastrous for the president's popularity, and that of the congressional Democrats who loyally voted for the Affordable Care Act, sight and text unread."

Does Barry actually think that people are stupid enough to fall for something that is such an obvious scam? I certainly would hope not, because as long as this screwed up law remains in effect, essentially all that he has really done here is to delay what we all know is inevitable. People are going to lose their insurance, and I guess I see why it should matter whether it’s before the next election or after, it’s still because of the same group of people, the Democrats. Is this reprieve really enough to convince people to vote for members of the guilty party?

All that this blatant scam truly represents is one of those very rare occasions where this administration has actually demonstrated a transparency in what they were trying to do. Because anyone who can’t see straight through what’s really going on here, is either a complete moron or one of the more devout followers of Barry "Almighty". Either that, or they’re black and therefore view Barry as being unable to do any wrong. I’d like to think that there are more people who won’t fall for this stunt than will, but these days I can never be too sure.

I THINK WE CAN DO BETTER THAN JEB…MUCH BETTER…

Well folks, apparently the best chance for we Republicans to take back the White House in 2016 rests squarely with a guy who happens to be a big supporter of not only Common Core and amnesty, but of climate change as well. Who knew? Now personally, I happen to disagree with that assessment if things, but I guess there are many waiting with baited breath to see if Jeb Bush decides to throw his hat into the ring for the 2016 presidential campaign. He’s the guy that many in the GOP believe could give the party its strongest rival to Hitlery Clinton.

You see, it’s according to The Hill, that we are being told that there are many people close to Jeb who say that he is considering a bid more seriously than ever before. They also seem to be of the opinion that his record and personality could be just what the doctor ordered in providing him sufficient star appeal across the country. "I've never seen him so seriously considering a run for higher office," Slater Bayliss, a Florida GOP lobbyist and former Bush aide, told The Hill. "He's legitimately going through a very methodical, thoughtful process to come to a decision."

The Hill also reports that many party strategists believe Bush could transform the electoral map, "turning blue states purple and purple states red." On the other hand, the paper also says that a third Bush in the White House could strike voters as being too "dynastic," an obstacle that Bush has recently acknowledged. I guess that’s the camp that I’m in. It’s that and do we really need to ‘settle’ for yet another faux conservative/centrist kinda of a guy. Haven’t we learned anything from the last two presidential elections? Do we really need to get thumped yet again?

Many say that Bush is more than capable of being able to lead on the key issues expected to define the 2016 campaign, including immigration and education reform. His multicultural family is also said to be an asset; his wife is from Mexico, and he speaks Spanish fluently, two things that could help the GOP capture the crucial Latino vote, at least according to The Hill. So do I have this right in that Hispanics will vote for this guy simply because he speaks fluent Spanish? Really? I could be wrong, but isn’t kinda like saying that Hispanics must be pretty stupid?

Meanwhile, polls are showing that other potential establishment front-runners, such as Chris Christie, Scott Walker, Marco Rubio, have seen their star power fade, two of them from what were essentially self-inflicted wounds. And this is said to be to the possible benefit of Bush. In the last few months, Bush has been careful to say he has not yet decided whether to run. He has said he is deferring a decision until later in the year and would only consider running if he could do so "joyfully" and in an environment without much acrimony.

I happen to be one of those who thinks that we have had both enough Clintons and Bushes occupying the White House. I’d just like someone new, but more importantly I want someone who is a conservative and not some poser/wannabe. Bush might be a nice fit for some cabinet post, but not much else. I suppose if it would help the ticket he could be a VP pick, but honestly, I’m not even crazy about that. We cannot afford to go down that same road we were convinced to go down in 2008 and 2012. We have to be smarter than that. There’s just too much at stake!!

DEMOCRATS ON A MISSION TO DESTROY…

Democrats really are a rather disgusting bunch. And, with the help of Barry, they have been able to make great strides in being able to bring to fruition their long sought after desire to bring about a complete financial and economic collapse here in this country. And yes I realize many on our side have assisted them in that endeavor. But to ignore the record level of debt that we have now accrued, or to claim that it does not represent a clear and present danger, is to place at risk the ability of future generations to experience that which was once referred to as being the ‘American Dream’. And on those occasions when Republicans attempt stop to madness, we can always count on the Democrat to blame them for their unwillingness to compromise.

But what’s needed now instead of compromise is a dose of some old-fashioned, down home, honesty! That would be something that the Democrats are in serious short supply. Democrats, you see, don’t want to cut any amount of spending. That point was abundantly clear when, in discussing federal spending and transportation funding, Barbara Boxer, Democrat, said "there is absolutely no way we’re going to cut spending." This declaration came during a discussion between Babs and members of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) regarding the Highway Trust Fund in Washington on Feb. 26th. She favors various tax increases that may be used to raise money for the program.

And the less than brilliant Babs went on to say, "I don’t see support for raising the gas tax and there is absolutely no way we’re going to cut spending, so it’s going to have to be a creative way to fund this in reality." Don’t you just love it when Liberals start talking about "creative’ ways to go looking to way fund their favored projects. Babs added, "The administration, you are going to be hearing from them today, is that right? I think you’ll be excited at what they have done on this whole area of transportation," Boxer told the annual AASHTO Washington Briefing. "They’re looking at tax reform which is certainly one way to make sure we have the funding for six years." Let’s face it, who is more ‘creative’ than Barry "Almighty"?

The Federal Highway Administration has projected that the Highway Trust Fund, supplied by gasoline and diesel fuel taxes, will have to soon alter reimbursements to states for work due to a shortfall. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) predicts the Highway Trust Fund could run out of money as early as August. And of course, Babs says that she is very supportive of new taxes in order to provide the additional funding. It seem to bother this dingbat very little that in this day and age when more folks are already having a difficult time keeping up with the cost of food, gas, utilities and now Obamacare, and that Babs now wants them to have to fork over even more. What a deal! I don’t need to support my family, right?

This idiotic bitch actually said, "Either we’re going to replace the gas tax with another way of funding which I love, which is the fee at the refinery level, I think I may be the only one that likes that idea, so I haven’t seen a groundswell of support for that idea." Going on to say, "Also a way to figure out vehicle miles travelled, without an intrusive black box, which you could do. But I don’t see it." So in this "Era of Barry’ in which the federal government is now collecting more revenue in the form of taxes than ever before, this brain-dead bitch sees nothing wrong with even more, and higher, taxes being put into place.

How much more of this kind of shit are the American people going to be willing to take from morons like Boxer? Personally, I’d like to be able to keep at least a little of the money that I work pretty hard for and to spend it on things that I, and not on what Babs says, want to spend it on. This is the kind of madness has got to be brought to a stop. Frankly I’m getting pretty damn tired of being forced to fork over more and more of MY money to the likes of Boxer so that she and her cronies can then pass it on to their parasitic constituents. This year I could have bought a brand new car, and a nice one, with what I was forced to send off to Washington. And I’m sure that goes for a lot of people. How many jobs could that have created?

WE’RE WITNESSING ‘KEYSTONE COP’ DIPLOMACY…

For those of you who just can’t seem to bring yourselves to admit the fact that John Kerry-Heinz is simply not up to the task of being our Secretary of State, his recent rambling about Putin and the recent Russian invasion into the Ukraine should now make that admission much easier. And together with Barry "Almighty", we now have a team of which it can safely be said not only lost the war in Afghanistan but apparently is also now on its way to losing the ‘cold war’. So it is then, that our foreign policy is now being run by ‘Dumber and Dumber-er’. In these two geniuses we have what can very easily be described as 'Ketstone Cop Diplomacy'.

And then it was just yesterday that we heard Kerry-Heinz challenge the notion that Putin went ahead and seized control of Ukraine’s Crimea on the assumption that he was pretty confident that Barry "Almighty’, the supposed leader of the free world, would do absolutely nothing in response. And he was right! Let’s face it, if you were old Vlad Putin, what would you be thinking after having watched our douche-bag of a president for the last five years? To me it would be pretty much of a no-brainer. Kerry-Heinz made the rather idiotic claim that Russia was not operating from "a position of strength." Oh really?

So then we all got to watch, just yesterday, as everyone’s favorite boob, Kerry-Heinz, busily made the rounds in appearing on three Sunday talk shows and for pretty much the same reason that Susan Rice has done in the past. Kerry-Heinz said Russia’s actions were reminiscent of "19th century" behavior, and warned that possible consequences could include G8 isolation of Russia, visa bans and sanctions. He acknowledged that Putin "may be able to have his troops for some period of time in Crimea," but claimed that Russia would ultimately "lose." Now what kind of nutty, fruit loop, logic does this imbecile base that idiotic statement on?

On Meet the Press, host David Gregory recalled how just last Wednesday that Kerry-Heinz had said Putin gave assurances to Barry that he would respect Ukraine’s territorial integrity. "Now you’re talking about Russia annexing the Crimea. Something happened," Gregory continued. "And I wonder, as you hear some criticism from conservatives who say the issue here is that Vladimir Putin is not afraid, that he saw a red line by this administration in Syria and then no follow-up, no action, that he thinks that he can provoke the U.S. and the West and that President Obama won’t do anything in response."

To which Kerry-Heinz responded as pretty much only he can. He said, "Well, he’s finding out the opposite." Then this boob went on to say, "Let me make it clear: President Putin is not operating from a place of strength here. [Ousted Ukrainian President Viktor] Yanukovich was his supported president. Yanukovich was thrown out, despite Putin’s support. Yanukovich turned on his own people. President Putin is using force in a completely inappropriate manner that will invite the opprobrium of the world, and it already is. He is not going to gain by this." Does this idiotic ever spending any time listening to what comes out of his own mouth?

Kerry-Heinz rambled on saying, "He may be able to have his troops for some period of time in Crimea unless he resolves this, but the fact is he’s going to lose on the international stage." Adding, "Russia is going to lose.  The Russian people are going to lose. He’s going to lose all of the glow that came out of the Olympics, his $60 billion extravaganza. He is not going to have a Sochi G8 [summit in June]. He may not even remain in the G8 if this continues. He may find himself with asset freezes on Russian business. American business may pull back. There may be a further tumble of the ruble. There is a huge price to pay." Just more silly threats that mean nothing.

"The United States is united; Russia is isolated," Kerry-Heinz said. "That is not a position of strength." The State Department announced, also just yesterday, that Kerry-Heinz will travel to Kiev on Tuesday, to hold talks with the new government, lawmakers and civil society, and to "reaffirm the United States' strong support for Ukrainian sovereignty, independence, territorial integrity, and the right of the Ukrainian people to determine their own future, without outside interference or provocation." And just how many of those folks will believe a single word that Kerry-Heinz tells them? And how many are likely to even show up to these talks?

Let’s face it, if John Kerry-Heinz was to perhaps spend a little more time, as secretary of state, tending to the business that he should be, instead of galavanting across the globe talking about such things as gay marriage and global warming, maybe, just maybe, our foreign policy would be less of a disaster. But nope, I think that that’s most likely a bit too much to hope for. We have the blind leading the blind here, so should it really come as a surprise to anyone that as America is slowly be made to lose its relevance, at the same time the world is becoming less and less stable? And things are likely to get very much worse.

WARNING SIGNS ARE EVERYWHERE, SOCIALISM SIMPLY DOESN’T WORK…

You know, for anyone truly interested in wanting to find out where it is that Barry is working so hard to take our country, there would be no need to look any further than at a number of our states. States that have, under the leadership of primarily Democrat governors, already arrived at the very spot that Barry hopes to get the entire country. And I would think it rather obvious that Barry seems very determined as he sets about implementing the very same sort of disastrous policies despite the overwhelming amount of proof that those policies simply don’t work. And as he does so, it’s at the same time that Barry does his best to distract our attention away from the horrific results those policies have achieved hoping, I guess, that we won’t notice.

Like the governors of the above mentioned states, Barry claims to be a builder of the middle class, a promoter of fairness, as well as a defender of the less fortunate. But unfortunately, despite all of the idealistic rhetoric, the sad truth is that neither he, nor those governors, are anywhere near being what they claim. What they are, are promoters of a social and economic philosophy that has failed everywhere that’s been attempted. And if the people were to ever remove their blinders I’m quite sure that they would then come to the realization that all that they have been told by these charlatans has all been nothing but a twisted fairytale. But I fear things will need to get much worse before they can be convinced to do just that.

OBAMA TALKS BIG BUT LEAVES THE STICK AT HOME…

Barry has become a joke, a non-player so to speak, when it comes to having any sort of positive influence over world events. He has allowed himself to be nudged aside by Putin, of Russia, who has made Barry appear as being nothing more than his court jester. And because Barry is now no longer taken seriously, neither is the United States. America has lost its power to influence, thus making it unable to play the same leadership role that it has in the past. Barry has now turned America into a second-stringer. And I would argue that that was his intent all along. His foreign policy has been one of casual neglect. One where he has always talked big, but made little or no effort to back up the rhetoric. Hence, he’s no longer trusted by our allies, nor feared by our enemies.

MAKES YOU PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN…

Just when I think I’m ready to throw in the towel and just give up, along comes a young man like this. In this day and age when we seem to have a younger generation that’s overflowing with Sandra Fluke-types, every once and a while we do come across a bright spot. And in this specific instance the bright spot to which I refer is a young man from Boston College by the name of Alex Amidon. A young man who, I’m very sure, has some very proud parents.

While attending Boston College, Amidon played for the school’s football team, the Eagles. His position was as a wide receiver. What has brought him into the spotlight is the fact that he has decided to pass up a chance at a lucrative NFL career in order that he may, instead, focus on his dream of becoming a U.S. Navy SEAL. His shock announcement was made during a school football recruitment dinner in Boston Wednesday night, according to BC Interruption, a sports blog.

"Through making this decision, Amidon is truly showing that he is a man for others, and cares so deeply about this community and country," the blog said. "The 2012 All-ACC wide receiver most likely would have found a home in the NFL," BC Interruption added. "The fact that Amidon is willing to give everything he has is truly awe-inspiring." Amidon, I think it fair to say, is one of those rare individuals that you wish we had more of in this country.

Amidon, a 22-year-old senior from Greenfield, Mass., set the BC school record for the most receiving yards and receptions in 2012, when he was ranked 11th in the country for receiving yards. He also holds the school record for most career receptions, beating the old mark with a catch in his final game. London-born Amidon was a first-round All-ACC pick in 2012 and was expected to be a third-day pick during the NFL draft in May, NFL.com reported.

Amidon told the Springfield Republican in January that he was undecided about pursuing an NFL career. "Right now I'm looking forward to graduating in June with a degree in English and enjoying my last semester in college," he said. His decision to join the military rather than a lucrative career in pro football immediately brought to mind Pat Tillman, the Arizona Cardinals safety. who gave up football to join the elite Army Rangers after the 9/11 attacks.

BC Interruption said that Amidon would be ideally suited to a career as a SEAL. "If you've ever known a SEAL, or even seen a show about them, you know that becoming one is an incredibly difficult experience. The SEALs push potential recruits' body and minds to the limit and the success rate is very small. However, Amidon has persevered through tough situations before," the blog said. "The SEALs motto is 'Ready to Lead, Ready to Follow, Never Quit,' which sounds like Alex Amidon in a nutshell."
