‘DINGY’ HARRY USES 'CLIMATE CHANGE' TO RIP HOUSE GOP...

So I ask you, with nary a hurricane in sight, what’s a poor ‘climate change’ believing Democrat to do when trying to badger the opposition? Well, apparently, if you're 'Dingy' Harry Reid, you go looking for the next best thing to blame on 'climate change.' And in this case, if you’re ‘Dingy’ Harry, that would be the massive destruction caused by flooding in parts of Colorado. You see it was while on the Senate floor Tuesday morning that 'Dingy' proceeded to slam House Republicans for partisanship and wasting the "taxpayer's time" trying to repeal ObamaCare. Personally, I prefer having a little more time be wasted than anymore of my money. And I always find it being a little hypocritical when Democrats accuse the Republicans of being partisan.

Anyway, ‘Dingy Harry’ listed numerous issues that Congress should be focusing its efforts on during session this year and lamented the fact that the House Republicans have simply refused to get on board with Barry's domestic agenda. As if he somehow considers it as being a no-brainer. 'Dingy' said, "ObamaCare is the law of the land. It's time for Republican's to mature," adding, "to grow up ... It's time for Republicans to stop denying reality." So I guess, according to 'Dingy', we’re all just supposed to ignore completely how this law will adversely effect the lives of every single American, except for those in Congress, and the disgraceful manner that this law was brought into being, and simply surrender to it? Sorry, I am firmly behind any effort to get rid of it.

And then after suggesting that Congress could be better using it's time on addressing issues that have to do with such things as the nation's infrastructure, ‘Dingy’ changed quickly gears and focused on the issue that remains so important to Democrats, "climate change." In choosing to ignore completely all of the evidence to the contrary, 'Dingy' boldly declared that, "Climate change is here." He went on to decry the fact, "We're doing nothing about it." ‘Dingy’ also suggested that Congress should "try passing immigration reform" before going on to actually list what he comically referred to as being the economic benefits of ObamaCare. Now there's a laugh, economic benefits of Obamacare. Is that not an oxymoron?

But 'Dingy' then returned to the topic of 'climate change', saying, "We should be facing the reality of climate change. Look what happened in Colorado. I talked to Senator Bennet yesterday, he said the floods were "biblical." In one part of Colorado, it rained 12 inches in two hours. I can't imagine that." Wow, you know 'Dingy's' got to be really worried about all of this 'climate change' nonsense, especially when he starts throwing around the 'B' word, even if it's kinda by proxy? But hey, I'm sure 'Dingy' views it as being one of those instances where desperate times call for desperate measures, especially as Democrats try to wreak as much economic havoc as possible while, in the process, identifying the Republicans as being the cause.

But old 'Dingy' wasn't finished just yet, not by a long shot, as he then proceeded to lay it on even thicker saying, "Fires all over the West, climate change is here. I met with the Foreign Minister of Bangladesh. They don't know what they're going to do with the rise of the sea, which is taking place. That country has no place -- no high ground. It's that way all over the world. Martial Islands -- 1,000 islands make up the Martial Islands. Fifty-five thousand people live there. These islands are being washed away with these new waves they've never seen before." yup, quite the work of fiction that we heard presented by old 'Dingy' Harry. But then this is typical behavior for scumbags like 'Dingy', always sounding the alarm for no real emergency.

'Dingy' reiterated again in his effort to chastise the Republicans, "Climate change is here. We're doing nothing about it. They're spending all our time, the American taxpayer's time, trying to repeal a law that's been in effect for four years." Well I would argue that just because it has been effect for four years, doesn't make it undeserving of being gotten rid of. Now granted, I'm sure 'Dingy' has no problem with it since he no longer has to abide by it, but the vast majority of those of us who do, would just as soon see it go the way of the do-do. It's going to be far too costly and it's going to result in people losing their jobs. Don't forget, this thing wasn't created to 'fix' anything, it was created for the sole purpose of allowing the government control of your healthcare.

THE ARROGANCE OF BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA...

Once again Barry has put on a demonstration of arrogance typical of one who assumes the power of one's office as his own. And in his effort to blame others for what has been the result of HIS own economic policies, Barry issued, what has been referred to, as a blistering warning to Republicans, saying, on Monday, that it would be the "height of irresponsibility" for lawmakers to cause a new economic crisis just five years after the near-collapse of the nation's financial system. A new economic crisis? What, exactly, has Barry done over the course of the last 4 years but to make what was an already bad economic situation, very much worse?

"I cannot remember a time when one faction of one party promises economic chaos if it can't get 100 percent of what it wants," Barry said, contending that the stance of some conservative lawmakers amount to just that. Then I'd have to say that Barry has a rather piss-poor memory. Democrats have long demonstrated a willingness to do absolutely anything, no matter how extreme, in order to get their way. So old Barry can peddle that bullshit to his many imbecilic constituents. The simple fact of the matter is that we simply cannot go on spending the way we have been, and Barry makes it very clear that he intends to spend this country right into bankruptcy! That IS his goal here!

Barry is a liar, plain and simple. And he has made it very apparent, and on more than one occasion, that he will lie to get anything, and everything that he wants. Such was the purpose behind Barry's arrogant chastising of those Republicans who have said that they would vote to extend current spending levels or to increase the nation's debt ceiling only if Barry delays putting in place his healthcare law, which is a condition Barry has rejected. Others say that scheduled spending cuts should stay in place to reduce the deficit, while Barry wants his "sequestration" cuts reworked. So while Barry sees no need to 'compromise' himself, he now demands that Republicans do so!

Barry reiterated his refusal to negotiate with Republicans over the debt ceiling. And he called on Congress to "pass a budget without drama." Without drama? Just where the Hell does this asshole get off? And the White House's National Economic Council on Sunday issued a joke of a report detailing those policies that it claims have 'helped' put the economy on a path toward growth. Those steps range from the unpopular Troubled Asset Relief Program, or TARP, that shored up the financial industry and bailed out auto giants General Motors and Chrysler, to the bogus $800 billion stimulus bill to sweeping new bank regulations. None of which accomplished anything.

Nearly all of the policies that have been put in place by Barry and his cadre of socialists have resulted in doing nothing more than to make what was an already bad economic situation, far worse. The most obvious result was the fact that the credit rating of this country was lowered for the first time on our nation's history! And then, making it obvious that he must reside in some alternate universe, we had Gene Sperling, a top Barry adviser and director of the National Economic Council, actually say that Barry's policies "have performed better than virtually anyone at the time predicted." What the Hell has this guy been smokin, snortin or shootin up? Because that's just plain nuts!

Despite the nauseating level of propaganda, the public remains unconvinced that the economy is on the mend. Only one-third say the economic system is more secure now than in 2008, and 52 percent say they disapprove of Barry's handling of the economy, according to a Pew Research Center poll. There is still plenty of pain to justify their pessimism. Despite job growth, the unemployment rate remains high at 7.3 percent. But we all know that the real unemployment rate is somewhere around 17 percent. And though the rate has fallen, one of the primary reasons for that is the fact that 10 Million people have dropped out of the labor force and are no longer counted as job seekers.

The share of unemployed workers who have been unemployed for more than six months is more than double what it was in 2007 before the recession began. And the income gap between the very rich and the rest of the population is the biggest since 1928. What's more, some banks that received government aid because they were deemed "too big to fail" are now bigger than they were in 2008, although they are smaller as a share of the economy than the largest banks in other big economies. Three years after Barry signed a sweeping overhaul of lending and high-finance rules, execution of that law is behind schedule. Which should come as a surprise to no one!

Anxious to make his case with the public, Barry has set out to create fictional signs of progress. Barry wants to reverse automatic spending cuts that kicked in in March, but at the same time he has said he will not negotiate with Republicans over the nation's debt ceiling. His remarks have hinted at a potential constitutional confrontation with Republicans. Section 4 of the 14th Amendment says that "the validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned." I love how Barry rather selectively supports our Constitution.

Since first coming into office Barry, in his effort to buy votes for his party, set out to purposely run up our debt to what can only be identified as being an astronomical amount, and he now demands that we the taxpayers be made to cover the cost of his vote buying spree. But unfortunately, it goes beyond what we ourselves could ever hope to cover. So that responsibility will fall to our children and grand children. Freedom loving Americans are being forced to hand over more and more of their hard earned money to our societies leeches and parasites who are only to happy to vote for slimy, unethical and corrupt politicians like Barry. The madness has to be brought to an end!

ANOTHER DEMOCRAT PROVES YOU CAN'T FIX STUPID...

ANOTHER FINE EXAMPLE OF WHAT STUPID LOOKS LIKE

What was heard last week at something called a mayors' forum on, of all things, economic justice, was perhaps the most bizarre rationale I've yet heard for favoring state funded abortions. Because it was the imbecilic mayor of Tacoma, Washington who actually suggested that abortion is an antidote to poverty: "Young women who have children who are not married are more likely to end up in poverty, and so are their children," so said Mayor Marilyn Strickland. Now it should come as no great surprise that Ms. Strickland is, of course, both black and a Democrat. She went on to say, "When you take away a woman's right to choose, you may actually consign her to a life of poverty with her children or her unborn children."

Mayor Strickland also said that it's important to "help people become empowered," and she made the point that mayors can set policies at the local level to encourage economic development. She mentioned the debate over paid sick leave. She said labor unions are now recruiting members who don't belong to unions "because they understand that as union membership goes down every year, the middle class suffers in America. So we have to make sure there is a middle class that is strong and that is vibrant." And so I guess one way of accomplishing that is through the allowing of unfettered abortions? Sorry, but I'm just not making the connection, there. But then, of course, I'm not an empty-headed liberal like the good mayor here.

And our brilliant mayor said businesses must understand that they need consumers with buying power to be successful. "We all do better, when we all do better. And we made great gains as a country as far as civil rights. But there's a lot of work to do," Strickland said. She noted that the rates of unemployment, incarceration and educational achievement are all disproportionately higher for people of color: "So we know good and well that we still have a major hangover from the institution of slavery and other decisions that we've made." So nearly 150 years after slavery officially came to an end, this moron actually thinks that what we are dealing with is the residual effects of slavery. Like they say, you just can't fix stupid!

So I guess what she's claiming here is that the only reason that blacks suffer from higher unemployment, a higher rate of incarceration and a lower level of educational achievement, is because of slavery? Actually if she could bring herself to be bit more honest, she would admit that all three of these issues actually stem from what have been decades worth of liberal policies the specific purpose of which was to decimate the black family and make blacks forever dependent upon the federal government. But since she can't do that, she can peddle her progressive brand of bullshit to someone too stupid to recognize the fact that they're being lied to. That’s the only way people like her operate, they blame everything except what's actually at fault. A hangover from slavery? Nope! It's a hangover from years of liberal hogwash!

THE BOGUSNESS OF 'GLOBAL WARMING'...

Back in 2007 there was prediction made by some global warming zealot, that summer in the North Pole could be "ice-free by 2013". And that very same prediction would later be cited by former vice president, and climate change profiteer, Al Gore in his Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech. This just goes to show you that one should always be a little leery whenever making predictions because, as in this case, the odds are usually against you being correct. Because as was the case here, this particular prediction was way off, by over 920,000 square miles. But I'm sure the fact that an ice free failed to come to pass, will have very little impact on those who remain quite dedicated to what has essentially become the religion of "climate change."

It was in his silly Dec. 10, 2007 "Earth has a fever" speech that Gore referred to this prediction made by U.S. climate change zealot, and a supposed scientist, Wieslaw Maslowski who prophesized that the Arctic’s summer ice could "completely disappear" by 2013 due to global warming caused by, of course, carbon emissions. It was on Sept. 21, 2007, that Gore said, "scientists reported with unprecedented alarm that the North Polar icecap is, in their words, 'falling off a cliff.' One study estimated that it could be completely gone during summer in less than 22 years. Another new study to be presented by U.S. Navy researchers later this week warns that it could happen in as little as seven years, seven years from now." Whoops!

This nutjob Maslowski told members of the American Geophysical Union in 2007 that the Arctic’s summer ice could completely disappear within the decade. "If anything," he said, "our projection of 2013 for the removal of ice in summer is already too conservative." Gore also warned that rising temperatures were "a planetary emergency and a threat to the survival of our civilization." but a funny thing happened, instead of completely melting away, the polar icecap is at now at its highest level for this time of year since 2006. Satellite photos taken by NASA in August 2012 and August 2013 show a 60 percent increase in the polar ice sheet despite "realistic" predictions by supposed climate scientists six years ago that the North Pole would be completely melted by now.

So instead of shrinking away to nothing, the NASA photographs clearly show that the Arctic ice sheet is much larger than it was at this same time last year, or more than half the size of Europe. The thick layer of summer ice, which currently stretches from Canada to Russia, is actually preventing ships from using the North-West Passage. A Dec.12, 2007 BBC article, a less than credible source on the subject, actually quoted 'Professor' Maslowski and his team of climate change enthusiasts at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, Calif. explaining how they used "a high-resolution regional [computer] model for the Arctic Ocean and sea ice forced with realistic atmospheric data" to make their predictions. "This way, we get much more realistic forcing, from above by the atmosphere and from the bottom by the ocean," he said.

Well I hate to be the one to burst the good 'professor's' global warming bubble here, as well as that of Al Gore, but it would seem to me that their data was maybe a little less realistic and a lot more wishful thinking. Look, more and more evidence that proves that this entire cockamamie notion of global warming is absolute horse shit becomes available every single day. It is nothing more than a pathetic scheme dreamt up by bogus scientists and guys like Gore who are out to make themselves rich at the expense of folks like you and me. All you have to do is open your eyes and ignore the propaganda coming from politicians and our state-controlled media. It matters little that climate change is a pretty low priority for most Americans, because it's such a high priority for those on the left.

MORE LIES FROM OUR LIAR-IN-CHIEF, BHO...

If there is one thing we can honestly say about Barry, it's that he most certainly is consistent. He has always demonstrated willingness to take advantage of any situation that he sees as being another opportunity for him to lie to the American people, especially if he thinks that he can create for himself some manner of political advantage. He is always on the prowl for ways to take credit for all things positive that take place in spite of his policies, or to lay blame for those things that take place that are a direct result of his policies. It's really a remarkable thing to watch. And as we have seen over the course of the last four and a half years, there is absolutely nothing that Barry will not lie about. And he can do so with a smile on his face.

And apparently our corrupt and patently dishonest president was up to his usual tricks are recent as this past weekend. Because while appearing on ABC News’s "This Week" with George "Stephy" Stephanopoulos", the well-know faux journalist and retread from the "BJ" Clinton administration, Barry "Almighty" complained that even though he had 80 to 90 percent of the country in agreement with him on the need for stricter gun control, it was a "faction of the Republican Party" that ultimately prevented him from getting some form of stricter gun-control legislation enacted. And in Barry's making such a claim, he really accomplished nothing more than to add to what has become his already rather impressive list of infamous whoppers.

Barry made his little observation about this supposed supermajority of Americans whom he firmly believes favor "gun control" when "Little Stephy" asked him why it is that the issues he has chosen to focus on at the beginning of his second term seem to have stalled. "You put gun control at the top of the agenda, immigration reform, climate change--all of it's stalled or reversing," said Stephy. Gee, I can't imagine why it is that Barry's blatantly left wing agenda might be stalled. Can you? I mean what we're talking about here is an immigration plan that really does nothing more than to grant outright amnesty to 11 million illegals, in an effect creating millions more Democrat voters, and a policy based on a climate change theory that is far from proven.

But the ever persistent Stephy, always eager to provide to Barry an opportunity to blame others, asked, "How do you answer the argument that beyond the deficit, this has been a lost year, and how do you save it?" Now of course the very fist thing out of Barry's mouth, was to blame obstructionist Republicans. Barry claimed that the Senate-passed immigration bill would win in the House if only Speaker Boehner would bring it up for a vote. Barry said, "If Speaker Boehner put that bill on the floor of the House of Representatives right now, it would pass. It would pass." He added, "So the question then is not whether or not the ideas that we put forward can garner a majority of support, certainly in the country."

And then Barry, in again lying through those pearly whites of his, proceeded onto the topic of gun control saying, "I mean, gun control, we had 80, 90 percent of the country that agreed with it." And as expected he once again simply blamed the Republicans. Barry said, "The problem we have is we have a faction of the Republican Party, in the House of Representatives in particular, that view compromise as a dirty word, and anything that is either remotely associated with me, they feel obliged to oppose," said Barry. "And my argument to them is real simple. That's not why the people sent to here." I beg to differ. Those whom I voted to send to Congress, I did so with the specific intent of having them STOP everything that Barry is trying to do!

And you know, the proof that Barry was lying when he claimed to have 80 or 90 percent of the country behind him, was made quite obvious by a Jan. 23 Gallup poll in which it had asked people about some gun-related issues. Gallup asked, for example: "Would you vote for or against a law that would limit the sale of ammunition magazines to those with 10 rounds or less?" Fifty-four percent said they would, and 43 percent said they would not. But when the respondents to that question were broken out as Democrats, Independents and Republicans, only a majority of the Democrats, 74 percent, said they would. By contrast, only 46 percent of Independents agreed as did only 39 percent of Republicans. Not exactly 80 or 90 percent.

And don’t you just love how this scumbag president of ours throws around the word "compromise" as if it’s something that he and other members of his corrupt, Constitution hating, political party do on a regular basis. However the truth is more than just a bit different. Because Democrats consider themselves as being above having to compromise. And as such, they should never expected to do so. Because in their universe, compromise is seen as being something for suckers or, in this case, Republicans. Republicans must always be made to cave on their principles. And when they refuse to do so, they must then be cast as being nothing more than obstructionists. Hence Barry's idiotic statements made during this imbecilic interview with Stephy.

FEWER AMERICANS TRUST THEIR GOVERNMENT…

Now look, I'll be the first one to admit that I'm far from being the sharpest knife in the drawer, but when I see something like this, the first thing that pops into my head is, what the Hell were people expecting. We have a president who is completely incompetent regarding all things having to do with foreign policy and who, at the same time, is a devoted socialist regarding all things that fall under the heading of domestic policy. Add to that, the fact that we also have a Democrat majority in the Senate who seems to be interested only in raising taxes as high as they can get away with so that they can then turn right around and put our country even further into debt. And our GOP controlled House has offered very little in the way of bona fide resistance.

And all of this craziness is currently taking place because this is exactly what the people voted for. And yet, according to a recent poll, less than half of the American people say they now trust the government to handle the nation's problems, and that, my friends, is a new all-time low. Personally, I voted for people who I, at least, hoped would vote against such things as tax increases as well as against, what has been up to this point, an insane amount of spending that has only continued to accelerate at pace never before seen until Barry first came strutting into the Oval Office. But, sadly, they have been far less aggressive than I had hoped they would be, with many being far too timid when it comes to resisting both higher taxes and additional spending.

So it is then that, according to this new poll, only 49 percent of Americans now say that they have a great deal or fair amount of confidence in the federal government to handle international problems, and again that would be according to Gallup as of today, Friday the 13th. The previous low was 51 percent, and that was back in 2007. And apparently, the public’s trust is even lower when it comes to domestic issues. In that instance, it's just 42 percent of Americans answered with a great deal or fair amount of confidence in the government to handle issues here at home. Our frustration, I think, is coming from different directions, with the moochers among us wanting more, and those of us forced into covering their costs, wanting to provide less.

And what I'm pretty sure is something that will come as absolutely no surprise to nearly anybody, is the fact that it's Democrats who seem to have far more confidence in our government than do Republicans. If you can believe it, it's a rather impressive 78 percent of Democrats who actually say that they trust their government on international issues compared to just 35 percent of Republicans who say the same. However, Democrats don’t have nearly as much faith when it comes to the government’s handling of domestic issues, with only 58 percent saying they have a great deal or fair amount of confidence compared to 25 percent of Republicans. I can only assume that the other 42 percent of Democrats aren't getting what they feel that they're entitled to.

Speaking for myself, these days I don't trust my government to get much of anything right. The majority of our politicians, today, seem to have forgotten exactly why it is that they have their current job and for whom it is that they work. And their primary interest seems to be in trying to find increasingly creative ways for them to keep their jobs. There seems to be very little interest on their part, in doing what would actually best for the country as a whole. And therein lies the problem. We have no one who is willing to dole out a little tough love to those who seem to be of the opinion that they are somehow owed something by the rest of us. When we should actually all consider ourselves to be quite fortunate if no other reason than the fact that we are blessed to live in this country.

And as such, there are certain responsibilities that are actually required of us if we are to have any hope of being able to hand down to future generations a country where they too will be able to enjoy the same freedoms that have been enjoyed by past generations and that are, much to the displeasure of Democrats, guaranteed to us by our Constitution. The most important of those being the electing of responsible men and women whom we can trust to steer our country in such a manner as to achieve the highest level prosperity for all, and to make sure that our enemies know well that we are not a country to be messed with. Unfortunately, these days, many of the politicians whom we chose to elect are nothing more than a reflection of our own reckless disregard for those who come after us.

AL 'NOT SO' SHARPTON…'MINISTER OF MAYHEM'

Al "Not So" Sharpton has done more damage to the black cause than George Wallace could have ever done. He has suffocated the decent black leaders in New York. And his transparent venal blackmail and extortion schemes taint all black leadership. So says none other than that proverbial leftwing weirdo, Bobby Kennedy Jr. Bobby Jr. also said that old reverend Al actually gives him "the creeps." Kennedy also refers to Sharpton as a "buffoon" who has never escaped the "stench" of his advocacy for Tawana Brawley, you may remember as being the black Dutchess County teen who fabricated a story about six white men raping her back in 1987.

And in referencing Jesse ' The Extortionist " Jackson, Kennedy describes him as having "a desperate and destructive addiction to publicity." NO! He even recalls when Jackson, while attending labor leader Cesar Chavez’s funeral, pushed "Cesar’s friends and family out of the way to make himself lead pall bearer." Kennedy adds, "His love affair with [Nation of Islam leader] Louis Farrakhan and his Jewish xenophobia are also unforgivable." Kennedy says, "I feel dirty around him, and I feel like I’m being used. I feel like with Jesse, it’s all about Jesse." That Kennedy can harbour such opinions and keep them to himself does a great disservice to those impacted.

Let's face it, old 'Bull Horn' Sharpton has been criticized for as long as he’s insisted upon doing nothing more than to bastardize the true meaning of Civil Rights. But the criticism never seems to phase him, as he has continued, over the years, to spread his own unique brand of hatred. Which, for a supposed man of God, I would think most rational people would view as being rather disgusting. Instead, morons all across the United States continue to act as if he is some how relevant. Even though he has repeatedly thrown his own people under the bus in return for nothing more than a seat at the Democrat Party, they turn a blind eye to such activity and embrace him as their leader.

So, what follows here is a little attempt of mine to point out to those who love him that he is really all that he cracks himself up to be. So here are just a few reasons why I think Al 'Bull Horn' Sharpton is a disgusting fraud:

Number one on Sharpton's bizarre little hit parade is none other than Tawana Brawley. It was in 1987 that Brawley, then 15, was found smeared with feces in a garbage bag, her clothing torn, with slurs written on her body. Brawley said she had been raped by six white men, including police officers. Sharpton took her side and made a huge stink about it. The only problem? She made it all up. To this day, Sharpton says he disagrees with the grand jury. One last question, is anyone other than me the least bit curious about what kind of sicko would actually smear themselves with feces? Just askin.

At number two in the list, we have Bernhard Goetz. As you may remember, or not, in 1984, it was Goetz who shot four black thugs who tried to rob him on the subway. And, as to be expected, it was old 'Bull Horn' who came riding into rescue these four black thugs from Al referred to as being a justice system that was out of control. He claimed that Goetz’s actions were racist, pure and simple, though a federal investigation concluded the shooting was due to an attempted robbery, not race. Sound familiar? We heard the same bullshit, and are still hearing it, surrounding George Zimmerman.

Coming in at number there is the incident at Freddie’s Fashion Mart. This tragedy occurred in 1995, when one of the people protesting right there alongside old ' Bull Horn' apparently decided to take matters a step further and murdered the man who they were protesting against: Than man was a Jewish business owner who was told by his black landlord to evict his black subtenant. Once again, Sharpton makes a stink out of nothing, with the result being that an innocent man gets murdered. 'Bull Horn' was obviously implicated in the death of this man, and yet was never made to pay a price.

At number four and five, respectively, are 'Bull Horn's' rather disgusting habit of defending rapists and his participation in the Crown Heights Riot. In 2007, Sharpton defended violent rapists, saying they were treated unfairly because they were black. These were people who made a Haitian woman perform oral sex on her own son. And during the Crown Heights Riot, Sharpton inflamed tensions by saying, "If the Jews want to get it on, tell them to pin their yarmulkes back and come over to my house." He also called Jews "diamond merchants."

Rounding out our little review of Sharpton's rather disgusting behavior, we have one of his more idiotic quotes, where he told an audience at Kean College in 1994 that, "White folks was [sic] in caves while we was building empires…. We taught philosophy and astrology and mathematics before Socrates and them Greek homos ever got around to it." And then after failing to pay his taxes, Sharpton said the investigations into his finances reflected a racist political agenda. Yup, poor Al. Just another black who seems to be of the opinion that the rules simply do not apply to him.

And one other thing that I normally would not expect to hear coming from someone who bears the title of 'reverend', are comments attributed to 'Bull Horn' regarding Mormons. Because it was back in 2007, that Sharpton said about Mitt Romney: "As for the one Mormon running for office, those who really believe in God will defeat him anyways, so don’t worry about that; that’s a temporary situation." You know, whatever your opinion might be regarding Mormons, when you’re running for president, you just don’t make idiotic statements like that. Unless of course, you're Al ' Bull Horn' Sharpton. Then I guess you can just about anything.

These are but a few examples that make clear the rather racist history of one Al "Bull Horn" Sharpton, hate-monger, race-baiter, and all around disgusting human being. I've long thought that there is a very special seat in Hell currently being reserved for Sharpton. Most likely right next to Bobby Kennedy Jr's father, uncles and grandfather. What a way to have to spend eternity, but most definitely, a very fitting one and very well deserved. Sharpton is nothing more than a black menace, and someone who has been the driving force behind more misery and mayhem than any 10 men like him. And the fact that anyone can look upon him as being a 'leader' is pretty sad.

'DINGY HARRY' REID SOUNDS THE ALARM, “ANARCHISTS HAVE SEIZED CONTROL OF CONGRESS!”

I have long been curious about how it is that old 'Dingy Harry' Reid has been able to so successfully elude those men in white coats for as long as he has. Because I would think it obvious that there is, sitting somewhere in one of our many fine psychiatric institutions in this country, a rubber room that is missing its occupant. And with 'Dingy' having made it quite obvious, earlier this week, that he could, in fact, be that very missing occupant, when he went so far as to actually imply that "anarchists" have now seized over of Congress, I just thought I'd bring it to someone's attention.

Now, if perhaps he had been, at the time, making a reference to how it is that he and his fellow Democrats have continued to run rough shod over Congress for some time now, completely ignoring the confines clearly laid out in the Constitution regarding how Congress is to operate, then I would say that, yes, he might be onto something. But that's not exactly where 'Dingy' was going when he made his rather incendiary claim. What he was talking about was those dastardly Tea Party folks. But then, since when can wishing for a more faithful adherence to the Constitution be described as anarchy?

Now you would think what's really behind old 'Dingy Harry's' toxic little rant would be transparent to anyone with more than one functioning brain cell. Because what's really got Harry's panties in a bunch is the fact that our Tea Party Republicans are attempting to prevent progress on what is a very bogus energy efficiency bill by offering up amendments on ObamaCare, as well as a few other issues. Personally, I'm all for it. So what's really going on here sounds to me to be more like whining on the part of Harry than it does about warning us about possible anarchy coming from the opposition.

Anyway, in trying to make his rather pathetic little point, Harry proceeded to complain from the Senate floor, with him spewing is typical brand of BS. He said, "We’re diverted totally from what this bill is about. Why? Because the anarchists have taken over." And in not being quite finished in trying make, what I'm sure he thought was a valid point, he proceeded to make the claim, "They’ve taken over the House and now they’ve taken over the Senate." And in further whining, he said, "People who don’t believe in government, and that’s what the Tea Party is all about, are winning, and that’s a shame."

On Wednesday, Sen. David Vitter, who is a Republican and is said to reside in the Tea Party camp, said that he would work to prevent votes on lawmakers' amendments to the proposed energy bill until he's assured that he'll get a vote on his own amendment, which would require some congressional and executive branch staff to enroll in the ObamaCare health exchanges. And of course, as expected, Harry opined, "It’s defund ObamaCare, and I guess as the fiscal year comes to an end that’s what it’s all about." Actually me thinks he does protest too much. If in the same position Harry would do the same thing.

And then we had Senate Minority Leader Mitch "The Gutless Coward" McConnell who also introduced an ObamaCare-related amendment that would delay the individual health insurance mandate for one year, and codify the Obama administration's one-year delay of requirements that employers provide insurance. "Let’s delay ObamaCare mandates for families right now," McConnell said. "Then let’s work together to repeal the bill." Sorry, but I have a very difficult time believing that McConnell is very serious when come to his threatening to repeal Obamacare.

All that Harry has done here by choosing to make such an idiotic claim, is to make it abundantly clear to just about everyone, that he is either completely ignorant regarding what brought the Tea Party into being, and what it continues to be all about, or worse, he does recognize what motivates those who affiliate with the Tea Party, and therefore feels compelled to expend every effort to portray them as being nothing more than extremists, or anarchists, who oppose any and all forms of government. So I think we now safely know what it is that he's up to. The question is, will it work?

HOUSE REPUBLICANS ARE NOTHING MORE THAN MODERN DAY SNAKE OIL SALESMEN...

MIKE LEE, TELLIN IT LIKE IT IS

In a recent interview on the nationally syndicated Mark Levin Show, one of my favorites by the way, we heard Senator Mike Lee (R-Utah) as he slammed the Republican-led initiative to simultaneously propose legislation that would both fund and defund Obamacare. Lee rhetorically asked Levin, "With Republicans like these, who needs Democrats?" And therein lies the reason so many are becoming, or have become, disenchanted with the Republican Party.

Lee explained how this scheme is supposed to work. It goes something like this: Our stellar Republican leadership in the House of Representatives intends to put forward two different legislative proposals in one single vote. One would defund Obamacare. And here’s where the scam comes into play. The other proposal would be a continuing resolution that would fund everything in government, and that would include all aspects of Obamacare.

I'm guessing that the entire purpose behind this idiotic little charade is that the House Republicans, at least our spineless leadership, think that by voting to both fund and to defund Barry's signature health law simultaneously, they can somehow fool those of who want this law repealed into believing they are actually working toward that end. But it's become more obvious all the time that nothing could be further from the truth.

Because as Lee makes very clear, this proposal would then be sent over to the Senate, the DEMOCRAT controlled Senate, which would then simply "pull apart the two pieces of legislation," and end up passing only the spending resolution that funds Obamacare. Come on, is this sophomoric kind of politics the best that we can now expect to see from our supposed leaders in Congress? It's getting to the point where it's embarrassing.

Lee said, "It allows for Republicans or anyone else who claims to be against Obamacare to be able to say they voted against funding Obamacare." He went on to say, "And yet, still at the same time, allow them also to fund everything in government including Obamacare." Adding, "It is the classic Washington two-step." I think I would describe it a little differently. And does Boehner and Cantor really think we're stupid enough to fall for it?

Lee called the initiative "disgraceful" and implored everyone in the House who purports to be against Obamacare to stand up to the leadership to prevent this proposal from hitting the floor. "This is the Washington political establishment versus everyone else in America and this represents the worst of Washington politics," Lee said. At this point I would argue that we no longer have any real leadership in the House. All we seem to have, are posers.

OBAMACARE…THE DEBACLE...

Yup, this thing referred to as Obamacare has already been such a resounding success, on just about every level, that Barry "Almighty" has already signed 14 laws that amend, rescind or otherwise change parts of his signature healthcare reform law. Also, he’s apparently felt the need to take no less than five independent steps to delay the so-called Affordable Care Act on his own. That information comes to us courtesy of a new report from the Congressional Research Service (CRS) that was released on Wednesday.

The release of this report comes as many, but rumor has it nowhere near all, congressional Republicans are said to be pushing for a halt or outright repeal of the whole law, as Barry and his allies continue to decry that as being nothing but a waste of time and an effort to undermine Barry's signature political achievement. CRS, in the report to Sen. Tom Coburn, said all sides have already agreed to 14 laws that changed parts of Obamacare, though they were usually minor changes or clarifications.

The ink from Barry’s signature on this disastrous piece of Democrat inspired legislation was barely dry when, just a month later, Congress made the first change, specifying eligibility for veterans who are part of TRICARE. The point was to make sure the law recognized that coverage as meeting the individual mandate. And over the course of the last two years since this debacle was brought into being, Congress regularly tweaked those kinds of eligibility requirements. But it's still no better than it was when it was 'passed'.

But CRS said Barry and Congress also made some bigger changes, including repealing what all sides agreed to be a burdensome income reporting tax on small businesses, repeatedly dipping into provisions of Obamacare to use money for other spending. Those cuts included $6.25 billion from Prevention and Public Health and recapturing some of the money that was expected to be overpaid in subsidies to users of the health exchanges. And has Barry has been prone to do, he has acted on his own, declaring five separate delays this year.

And yet, despite all of the evidence that this thing remains completely unworkable, and will for the forseeable future, we still have Democrats out there who continue to claim that once Americans know more about it, they'll come to love it. That's just not the case. And what's even worse, is that we now have Republicans in Congress, who simply refuse to put forth the necessary effort to bring it to and end. That, even though, it is even less popular today that it was when it was first signed into law by Barry "Almighty."

So with out our being able to get any help from our members of Congress, we will have little hope of avoiding this blatant sabatoging of what was up until now, the best healthcare system in the world. In many respects, under the 'leadership' of Barry "Almighty" America has now been reduced to what is essentiually nothing more than a Third World country. And now, because of Obamacare, we will soon have a healthcare system that is commensurate with our new status. And both parties can be blamed for that being the case.

WHEN IS POVERTY NOT REALLY 'POVERTY'…

WHAT 'REAL' POVERTY LOOKS LIKE

So, what's it really like to be living in 'poverty' here in America? Well, apparently not nearly as bad as you might think, or would actually expect whenever listening to members of the Democrat Party describing it. Because Americans who live in households whose income is below the federal "poverty" level typically have cell phones, as well as landline phones, computers, televisions, video recorders, air conditioning, refrigerators, gas or electric stoves, and washers and dryers and microwaves. At least that's according to a newly released report from the Census Bureau.

In fact, it's 80.9 percent of those households below the poverty level who have cell phones, and a pretty healthy majority, or 58.2 percent, who actually have computers. Fully 96.1 percent of American households in "poverty" also have a television to watch, and 83.2 percent of them have a video-recording device should they be unable to make it home from the welfare office in time to watch their favorite Jerry Springer show and want to be able to record it so that they can watch it later. Also, 97.8 of households own a refrigerator and 96.6 percent own gas or electric stoves.

Also, microwaves seem to be standard equipment in 93.2 in the homes of those Americans in currently living in what's described as "poverty." And more than 83 percent also have air-conditioning. Interestingly enough, the appliances surveyed by the Census Bureau that households in poverty are least likely to own are dish washers (44.9 percent) and food freezers (26.2 percent). However, most Americans in "poverty" do not need to go to a laundromat. According to the Census Bureau, 68.7 percent of households in poverty have a clothes washer and 65.3 percent even have a clothes dryer.

The estimates on the percentage of households in poverty that have these appliances were derived by the Census Bureau from its Survey of Income and Program Participation. The latest report on this survey, released this month, published data collected in 2011. Here are the percentages of households below the poverty level that the Census Bureau estimates had the following appliances:
Clothes washer: 68.7%
Clothes dryer: 65.3%
Dish washer: 44.9%
Refrigerator: 97.8%
Food freezer: 26.2%
Stove: 96.6%
Microwave: 93.2%
Air conditioner: 83.4%
Television: 96.1%
Video recorder/DVD: 83.2%
Computer: 58.2%
Telephone: 54.9%
Cell phone: 80.9%

So, maybe, just maybe, it's not so rough living below that magic poverty line here in the good old U.S. of A. Especially when you start comparing the lives of those here to the lives of those in other countries who really are living in what can only be described as being abject poverty. I don't really have anything that any of those living in supposed poverty don't have. Sure I may have two cars but one them is 16 years old and the other one is 10 years old. When looking at things objectively, it is only a small percentage of the general population in America who actually lives in the kind of poverty experienced in other countries.

DEMOCRATS MAKE FOR TERRIBLE COMMANDERS IN CHIEF...

It was just twelve years ago today that we were forced to watch as nineteen al Qaeda terrorists hijacked four U.S. commercial airliners and flew them into the World Trade Towers, the Pentagon and a field in Pennsylvania. And if you’re a patriotic American you remember exactly where you were that day, as well as what you were doing at the very moment you saw those planes fly into the twin towers. And in the war that Congress authorized against al Qaeda just three days later, we are witness to another tragedy. That of course, being the fact that the vast majority of the U.S. casualties from that war, have occurred in just the last four and a half years or, in other words, under the horribly misguided leadership of our current Commander-in-Chief, Barry "Almighty".

In fact, according to a database, recently put together, of U.S. casualties in Afghanistan, we now kow that 73 percent of all U.S. Afghan War casualties have occurred since Jan. 20, 2009 when Barry was inaugurated. And the 91 U.S. casualties in Afghanistan thus far in 2013 are more than those that occurred in the first two full calendar years of the war (2002 and 2003) combined, when 30 and 31 U.S. troops were killed there. On Sept. 14, 2001, Congress approved a resolution authorizing the president "to use all necessary and appropriate force against those nations, organizations, or persons he determines planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, or harbored such organizations or persons."

By October 2001, U.S. forces were engaged in Afghanistan, seeking to remove al Qaeda from the sanctuary that had been made available to it and from which it had been able to launch the Sept. 11, 2001 attack. Since then, most of the leaders and participants in the 9/11 terrorist attacks have been either killed or captured. But the United States not only remains at war in Afghanistan, it continues to suffer significant casualties there. In total, 2,144 U.S. military personnel have given their lives fighting in and around Afghanistan as part of Operation Enduring Freedom*. And a total of 1,575 of the U.S. military personnel have been killed during the presidency of Barry "Almighty". That means 73 percent of the casualties in the Afghan War have happened on Barry’s watch.

Under President George W. Bush, from 2001 until Jan. 20, 2009, 569 U.S. military personnel were killed in and around Afghanistan fighting in Operation Enduring Freedom*. So far this year, during the twelfth year of the Afghan War, 91 U.S. military personnel have given their lives in Afghanistan. The Department of Defense reported 17 casualties in May and 18 in June--the two deadliest months for U.S. troops in Afghanistan so far this year. Typically, the summer months from June to September are the deadliest for U.S. troops serving in Afghanistan. Among the 91 U.S. casualties reported so far this year, all but 9 have been combat-related. During the now 12-year-long Afghan War, the four deadliest years for U.S. troops were also the four years of Barry’s first term.

Total U.S. Combat Deaths in Afghanistan:
George W. Bush era:
2001: 5
2002: 30
2003: 31
2004: 49
2005: 94
2006: 87
2007: 111
2008: 151

The Barry "Almighty" era:
2009: 303
2010: 497
2011: 494
2012: 294
2013: 91 (From Jan. 1, 2013 to Sept. 10, 2013)

Barry "Almighty" also has had the distinction of presiding over the top five deadliest months of the war, which include: August 2011, when there were 71 deaths; July 2010, when there were 65 deaths; June 2010, when there were 60 deaths; October 2009, when there were 58 deaths; and August 2010, when there were 55 deaths. On Feb. 17, 2009, less than a month after taking office, Barry announced the deployment of 17,000 additional troops to Afghanistan, fulfilling his campaign promise to shift U.S. military forces to Afghanistan. During a speech to cadets at the United States Military Academy, at West Point, on Dec. 1, 2009, Barry announced an additional increase of 30,000 troops in Afghanistan, stating that "it is in our vital interest" to send those additional troops.

Barry is just the most recent, in a long string of disastrous commanders in chief, with other disasters being "BJ" Clinton and Jimmy "The Moron" Carter. Democrats simply do not possess the skill set, nor the necessary aptitude, for the position. They tend to be rather reckless in throwing our troops into harms way with there, very seldom, ever being a stated mission or clear objective, nor with rules of engagement that minimize the danger that our troops are made to face. And whenever you place someone in charge of our military who has absolutely no concept of what's involved, what you have is nothing more than a recipe for disaster. And you can very plainly see the adverse effect that has on the battlefield. That being the dramatic increase of casualties, after Barry assumed his new role as commander in chief.

*Operation Enduring Freedom’s main battlefield is in Afghanistan but it includes smaller military operations in the Philippines, the Horn of Africa, Caribbean, and Trans Sahara, as well as support operations from aircraft carriers and other U.S. vessels.

GUTLESS REPUBLICANS WILLING TO DO NOTHING TO STOP OBAMACARE...

The Senate Conservatives Fund website shows that 1.2 million people have now signed a pledge to defund the Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare. But it would seem that a number of our top Republicans have, apparently, refused to sign the pledge. And I’m quite sure that no one will be all that surprised when they hear the names of at least some of those individuals. Because the list includes such notable RINOs as Mitch McConnell, as well as John "The Maverick" McCain and his trusty sidekick, Lindsey "Prissy Boy" Graham. I find it odd that even though no Republicans, in either the Senate or the House, voted to pass Obamacare, they remain so apprehensive about defunding it. WHY?

The senators’ website, which also features a stopwatch counting down the days, hours, minutes, and seconds until the end of the fiscal year and a proposed continuing resolution to keep the government funded, also names all 11 Republican Senators who, at least up to this point, "won't pledge" to sign the petition. And here again, there are no real surprises, because aside from McConnell, McCain, and Graham, the other Republican Senators who "won't pledge" to sign are Richard Shelby, Roy Blunt, Richard Burr, Tom Coburn, Jeff "Amnesty" Flake, Lamar Alexander, Bob Corker and Orin Hatch. All guys who like to refer to themselves as conservatives, but very obviously are not.

There are, however, 13 Republican Senators, dare I say actual conservatives, who have signed the pledge. And they are Mike Lee, Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, Chuck Grassley, Mike Crapo, Jim Risch, Pat Roberts, David Vitter, Deb Fischer, Jeff Chiesa, Jim Inhofe, John Thune and Mike Enzi. The remaining Republican Senators are listed as not having signed the pledge as opposed to those who have said they will not sign it. The senators in support of defunding Obamacare have said they will vote for a continuing resolution that will fund government operations but not the healthcare law. And that’s the "red line" that MUST be adhered to by many more of our congressional Republicans.

To me, those who refuse to sign this pledge to defund Obamacare, are just as guilty, if not more so, as those who worked so hard to shove this abomination through Congress courtesy of every political trick in the book. And while the Republicans can lay claim to the fact that they had nothing whatsoever to do with forcing this disaster onto the American people, by choosing now to do absolutely nothing to remove this tremendous burden off of the backs of those being forced, literally, to contend with it, makes their inaction far worse than the original act of passing it. And their unwillingness to take any action, makes them deserving of retribution to be delivered to them at the ballot box.

Look, the entire purpose of pushing this thing through Congress in the first place had absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with actually ‘fixing’ our supposed "broken" healthcare system. Having the government in complete control of what healthcare is available to the American people has long been a proverbial wet dream of the Democrat Party, going all the way back to the days of FDR. And you would think that preventing such a thing from occurring would be sufficient motivation for the Republicans to do all that they can to kill it. Instead they seem quite content to simply let things ride, attempting to pacify the people with vague promises that really have so substance.

Desperate times call for desperate measures. Right now the number one priority of our members of Congress should be to gut, severely limited, or kill completely, this debacle that is Obamacare. We ‘need’ members of Congress who are not afraid and who are willing to do ‘all’ that is necessary to put an end to that which they claim to recognize as being so damaging. And if that requires a government shutdown, which we all know is not really a shutdown, then so be it. I feel that they are only taking the easy way out. Because rather than working on how best to articulate why Obamacare must be scrapped, they choose to do nothing while making it appear, through political trickery, as if they are.

WE 'MUST' NEVER FORGET...

JOHN BOEHNER, ABOUT AS USELESS AS THAT MUCH TALKED ABOUT SCREEN DOOR ON A SUBMARINE…

Ok then, I think most of us have finally come to the realization that the only real chance we have of preventing Obamacare from going into full effect is for Congress to pass a continuing resolution that deprives it of money, even though a government shutdown would be the likely result. But that appears to be a step too far for many of our less than stellar Republicans, of which our very useless Speaker of the House, John Boehner, is one. It was on Tuesday that we heard Boehner telling reporters, "Listen, our goal here is not to shut down the government." He went on to say, "Our goal is to cut spending and to stop Obamacare. And I believe that the strategy that was outlined to members this morning accomplishes that." BULLSHIT!

I'm sure many of you have heard the various press reports flying around about the latest Republican 'strategy' that calls for the House to pass a continuing resolution that funds Obamacare, as well as a separate measure that would amend the CR to defund Obamacare. Look, this is nothing but yet another way for Republicans to have their cake and eat it too. It's less of a strategy than it is just another parlor trick, because as we all know, the Democrat-led Senate would never, in a million years, pass the second resolution. Yet such a shenanigan would allow House Republicans to claim, yet again, that they passed a measure to defund Obamacare. How many time does Boehner really expect people to fall for this kind of crap?

Boehner loves to tout the fact that the House has voted 40 times to defund or repeal Obamacare. This current strategy, he said, "is intended not to really satisfy the House -- we've already voted. It's to force the vote and force the fight in the United States Senate. That's where the issue is -- the United States senate. Let's get the issue over there and force them to actually have a vote on getting rid of Obamacare." How absolutely stupid is that? Ya know, it's laughable how Boehner thinks that we are actually stupid enough to believe his idiotic claim that the Republicans have been so determined in their efforts to protect us from the effects of a fully implemented Obamacare. But they have done jack-shit because their a bunch of damn cowards!

In his prepared remarks, before taking questions, Boehner promised, and with a straight face no less, to "do everything we can to protect Americans from this harmful health care law." He said the House will vote Wednesday on legislation that would require an income-verification system to be in place before people can get tax credits to pay for health insurance on the new exchanges. "We know the president’s health care law is driving up costs, it’s making it harder for small businesses to hire new workers," Boehner said. And yet he pussyfoots around it instead of doing all he can to kill it. He does nothing more than provide lip service, while with each passing day that it remains in existence, it becomes all the more difficult to kill.

Boehner went on to say, "Tomorrow we’ll vote on Congresswoman (Diane) Black’s bill that would require a verification for those who would be eligible for a voucher at one of these exchanges. The idea that you can go to one of these exchanges and just promise, ‘This is what I made last year,’ is problematic. Our job is to spend the American people’s tax money wisely, and I believe that this (lack of income verification) will lead to an awful lot of abuse and it really should not occur." Actually, John, what your damn job is, is to do what we tell you to do. And right now that's to get rid of this Democrat created nightmare of Obamacare by any means available, government shutdown or no government shutdown! Got it?

And then Boehner went on to tell what was nothing more than yet another one of his trademark whoppers when he said, "We’re going to continue to do everything we can to protect Americans from this harmful health care law." Adding, "This is not good for the country, it’s not good for the health care system. It will bankrupt us, and ruin the best health care delivery system the world has ever known." And yet he refuses to do all that he can to stop it because he's more worried about his own job than the effect this thing will have on the jobs of millions of Americans. This could be his shining moment, but instead, he has decided to, once again, take the coward's way out and do nothing. But remember John, God hates a coward.

OBAMA…JUST PLAIN PATHETIC...

Well, tonight is Barry's big night. When he goes before the American people to deliver what has been described by many as being one of the most important political addresses of his presidency. His mission tonight will be to convince a war-weary American public into supporting his call for military intervention in Syria. Having drawn that now famous red line in the sand, despite his claim to the opposite, on the use of chemical weapons by the Assad regime, it will be Barry’s credibility, or what's left of it, and not that of the United States, that is on the line here. But Barry faces what can only be called an uphill struggle in his effort to win over public opinion, and he is almost certainly headed for what can only be seen as a rather significant defeat on Capitol Hill, where opposition seem to be growing hourly. So is he up for the challenge?

In attempting to fully grasp the magnitude of the challenge that lies ahead for our 'Dear Beloved Leader', one really need look no further than a new poll released by Fox News (conducted by both Democratic and Republican pollsters), which shows that Barry’s approval rating has now fallen to 40 percent, or the lowest level of support in his presidency. Barry’s disapproval stands at 54 percent, which is the highest negative rating he has received since first taking office. I think that there can be very little doubt that it's Barry’s handling of the Syria crisis, and to be quite honest his handling of foreign policy in general, with the assistance of Hitlery Clinton and John Kerry-Heinz, that can be said to have played a significant role in driving down his popularity. And also, you can't continually go around apologizing for America and still expect our enemies to fear us. Just ain't gonna happen.

According to the previously mentioned Fox poll, we see that 68 percent of likely voters believe the US "should not be more involved in Syria," with just 26 percent in favor of greater involvement. Only 36 percent agree that "President Obama (has) adequately explained for you the reasons US military action against Syria is necessary," and just 27 percent "believe President Obama has clearly identified what the US goals and objectives would be in taking military action against Syria." 55 percent of those surveyed disagree with the assertion that "the reasons for taking military action in Syria are stronger than they are in Iraq," and 74 percent believe military action against Syria "is more likely to provoke additional violence in the Middle East." Overall, 60 percent of voters disapprove of Obama’s handling of the Syria issue, compared to just 29 percent who back him.

A large percentage of American voters have finally come to the realization that Barry’s style of foreign policy has accomplished little more than to severely weaken America’s standing in the world. And 48 percent agree that the United States is less respected now than it was five years ago when George W. Bush left office. And a mere 14 percent, probably those in the black community, say that America is more respected today. Also, 54 percent of US voters disapprove of Barry’s foreign policy, with just 39 percent expressing their support. Most significantly, Barry scores badly on the leadership front: 48 percent of those polled by Fox think Barry is "a weak and indecisive leader," six percentage points more than those who believe he is "a strong and decisive leader." In addition, 50 percent feel Barry "spends too much time blaming others."

So against the backdrop of plummeting public approval, and surging Congressional opposition, it is hard to see how Barry is going to be able to succeed in getting his Syria debacle turned around. The American people increasingly see him as being the weak leader that he is, one that has actually lowered America’s standing in the world instead of raising it. Frankly, President Bush’s record is looking better by the day, as a flailing Barry "Almighty" struggles to stand tall on the world stage while tripping over his own shoelaces at home. At least, with Barry’s predecessor in the White House, the United States was backed by its allies and feared by its enemies. That, most definitely, cannot be said today. Barry has succeeded in only making himself, and therefore our country, a laughing stock. Which does not bode well for the rest of the world.

WHY WE NEED ‘STAND YOUR GROUND’…

Well apparently we have had another case of where a rampaging negro, this one in Manhattan, pummeled a bus passenger so hard that he actually smashed the bones in the victim's face. The attack occurred after the assailant called the victim a "cracker". This latest incident marks the second time in only two days where people appeared to be randomly targeted in racial tirades against whites. The suspect here was said to be 5-foot-11, 185 pounds, black and believed to be in his late 30s.

Anyway, in this latest incident, the suspect passed a 31-year-old rider on the M60 bus as it was transiting through Harlem, on West 127th Street, between Amsterdam Avenue and Morningside Drive, around 2:45 p.m., Friday, when he shouted the racial slur and punched the victim in the face, breaking his nose and eye socket, cops said. The victim was treated for facial fractures at New York Presbyterian Hospital and released, police said. Too bad he didn't have a gun, but this is New York after all.

The incident occurred as authorities reported that Jeffrey Babbitt, 62, fell into a coma after being punched and knocked to the ground in Union Square Park on Wednesday. He was taken off life support and died Monday, sources said. In that case, a 31-year-old allegedly yelled that he was going to "f— up" the next white person he saw, before clocking Babbitt so hard that witnesses reported hearing his skull crack on the pavement. Somebody is going to need to get a handle on this stuff, and soon! Or else!

These random attacks of violence continues at the same time the race hustlers like Al 'Bull Horn' Sharpton, Jesse 'The Extortionist' Jackson and any number of others, continue to call for significant changes to be made to, or for the outright repeal of, current stand-your-ground laws. Had either one of these two victims been carrying a gun, there's a pretty good chance that there might be one, or even two, very dead blacks. You shouldn't have to be afraid to walk down the street or to ride a city bus.

You know, this is exactly the kind of racial violence that scumbags like Sharpton and Jackson were hoping for. But they need to be careful what they're wishing for. Because what you're likely to see starting to happen, and perhaps sooner rather than later, is for folks to be shooting first and asking questions later. And I’ll tell ya, once armed with my concealed carry permit, if I ever feel threatened when walking down the street, I’ll not be shy about brandishing my trusty 9mm. Sorry, but I'm not about to wait to be attacked.

IF ONLY WE COULD IMPEACH BOEHNER…

Ya, know, I’ve always thought of John Boehner as being much less of a leader than he is a used car salesman. He strikes me as being one those people who rather like to refer to themselves in public as being conservative, but once safely behind closed doors, make it very plainly known that they are really no such thing. But still, I've never really thought of him as being someone who would go so far as to actively coach someone on the other side, especially someone like Barry, on how best to circumvent our Constitution. And in now having apparently done just that, Boehner has now proceeded to take things to a whole new level.

Now I will admit that I have, on occasion, been guilty of giving Boehner the benefit of the doubt. But not anymore! Especially since he has now made it abundantly clear that he has absolutely no interest in doing what we all know needs to be done in order to prevent this president from further shredding our Constitution. And that Boehner can now so casually assist him in that endeavor, to me that's just the straw that broke the camel's back. After losing count of the number of times he has left me feeling as if stabbed in the back, my time of cutting him any amount of slack has officially come to an end. The time has now come for him to go!

And what it is that has got me so pissed? Well it's the fact that, at least according to National Review, Boehner’s staff has taken upon themselves the task of advising the White House on what Barry needs to say in order to win enough Republican votes for him to gain congressional approval for taking military action in Syria. Boehner said last week that he now supports Barry’s call for action, making him one of a relatively few Republicans to say so, at least, publicly. With Barry set to address the nation Tuesday, the speaker’s staff is advising White House chief of staff Denis McDonough on what he needs to say to win GOP support.

So while I really don’t plan on listening to what Barry might have to say on Tuesday, those who do listen might want to take what they hear with not much more than a grain of salt. Because I think it very safe to say that a majority of what you're likely to be hearing, may be nothing more than what he's been told, by Boehner, that he must say if he is to have any hope of enticing enough Republican members of Congress to once again ignore the voices of we the people who stand against taking action. And as it stands right now, it's well over half of the American people who now oppose that which Barry wants to do.

It's been more than just a little difficult in trying to keep up with all of the supposed reasons that have been thrown around in trying to come up with one that most would see as being sufficient justification for that which Barry seems so determined to carry out. And apparently, just today, there was another red line that was issued before being quickly dismissed as being nothing more than crazy rhetoric. We've been told that if we do not act, it will severely damage the credibility of our nation. But I would argue that if we were able to survive Carter and Clinton with our credibility intact, we can survive Barry. It's Barry's credibility that stands to sustain the most damage.

So, I guess the question that remains to be answered is the one that asks do we attack just because Barry stepped in it? And will those whom we've elected to Congress, side with the people, or will they choose to simply ignore us? Will enough on our side allow themselves to be swayed by Barry's, Boehner inspired, words? Or will they stand with we the people? Well if recent history provides us with any sort of an indication, the likely answer to that question may be fairly obvious! And the fact that Boehner has been busy assisting Barry on how best to, once again, pull the wool over our eyes, makes me even less confident that the will of the people will prevail.

OBAMA, A REAL BOON TO THE BLACK COMMUNITY? AH, NOT SO MUCH…

One more bit of evidence, as if we really needed any, that blacks will vote for absolutely anybody if they’re black, and as long as the candidate is a Democrat, is the current, and downright horrendous, state of black unemployment in this country. Because while there was most certainly enough bad news to go around for everybody in the August employment and jobs numbers released on Friday, the news was especially bad for black Americans, who voted nearly en masse for Barry "Almighty."

And what is it that they got in return? Well, out of every group listed in the Bureau of Labor Statistics report (age, gender, race, etc.) the unemployment rate among blacks increased the most, almost a full half-point, from 12.6% to 13%. This news is in line with a report released earlier this week that showed black homeownership levels are at an eighteen year low as well. And yet Barry "Almighty" still enjoys a fairly high approval rating among those in the black community. Why? Just because he’s black?

Now wouldn’t you think that after five years of the first black president, combined with being fifty years into the ‘War on Poverty’, and literally trillions of taxpayer dollars wasted, that by every relevant economic measurement, the gap between whites and blacks would have somehow narrowed at least a little bit. But instead, it’s remained pretty much unchanged, being today just as bad as it always has been. Perhaps if blacks were to just try voting for the other side they might see their fortunes change.

Ya, I know, it’s all the Republicans fault as to why blacks always vote for Democrats. Even though it has always been the Republicans who have proudly stood on the right side of race issues. Blacks seem to be determined to remain on the side of those who were the primary culprits behind slavery, dreamed up the Ku Klux Klan, created the disgusting Jim Crow law and who keep segregation alive until the Republicans joined with LBJ in passing the Civil Rights Act as well as the Voting Rights Act in the early 60s.

Well, if blacks ever decide that they’d like to try something different, we’ll be here. Because if they’re truly interested in improving their lot in life and in creating a better future for their kids, then they really only have one option. But if they’re only looking for someone who wants to keep the entitlement gravy train on the tracks, then they might just as well stay right where they are, there on the Democrat plantation. Because off the plantation they will be required to be a bit more self-reliant than maybe they’re used to.

ADMINISTRATION’S UNEMPLOYMENT NUMBERS, AN ABSOLUTE JOKE…

I think if there is one thing that we can all now, very safely, agree upon, it’s that the figure comically referred to as being our national unemployment rate, that has continued to be bandied about by this administration, and it’s many minions in the state-controlled media, can now be said to have been reduced to that which is nothing more than a sick joke. Because while we are once again being told how the national unemployment rate dropped from 7.4 percent to 7.3 percent in August, what’s being left out of the entire conversation is the fact that the number of Americans who actually held jobs during August also dropped, and by another 115,000 from July.

The simultaneous decline in both the unemployment rate and the number of people with jobs was possible because the "labor force participation rate", or the percentage of adults 16 years or older who either had a job or actively sought one in the last four weeks, dropped to 63.2 percent as of August. That is the lowest it has been since back during the Jimmy Carter years and is something of a continuing trend that can be said to be the direct result of Barry’s abysmal economic policies. When Barry first took office, it was 65.7 percent. I would argue the fact that we see that trend continuing, is no accident, as Barry has been quite purposeful in removing as many folks from the workforce as he can.

The number of Americans who are 16 years or older and who have decided not to participate in the nation's labor force has now pushed past the 90,000,000 mark for the first time in our nation’s history. That’s according to data recently released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). The BLS counts a person as participating in the labor force if they are 16 years or older and either have a job or have actively sought a job in the last four weeks. A person is not participating in the labor force if they are 16 or older and have not sought a job in the last four weeks. And the odds are quite high that they are now a person collecting some form of disability payment.

In July, again according to BLS, 89,957,000 Americans did not participate in the labor force, in August, that number climbed to 90,473,000. In January 2009, when Barry took office, there were 80,507,000 Americans not in the labor force. Thus, the number of Americans not in the labor force has increased by an incredible 9,966,000 during Barry's presidency. Granted, part of that can be explained by the fact that Baby Boomers are reaching retirement age and deciding to stop working, and not being replaced by an equal number of younger people reaching age 16 and thus becoming part of the BLS labor force population.

However, what is also true is the fact that the overall percentage of the non-institutionalized population over the age of 16 that is working or seeking to work in the United States, or something that the BLS calls the employment-population ratio, has declined, and rather significantly, in recent years. From July to August, it dropped from 58.7 percent to 58.6 percent. And again, in January 2009, when our 'Dear Beloved Leader,' Barack Hussein Obama, first took office, that number was at 60.6 percent. It reached an historical peak back in April 2000, when it was 64.7 percent. Further evidence of Barry determination to expand the welfare state.

But look, the fact of the matter is that, nationwide, full-time jobs are being cut just about everywhere and the new jobs that are now being created are 2 year temp jobs. Employers will give full-time hours, but not offer benefits because the full time hours won't always be guaranteed. This is how businesses intend to avoid certain aspects of the disaster that is Obamacare. They will get rid of full-time employees and hire a buttload of 2-year temps and give them just enough hours so they don't qualify for full-time benefits. If they are to remain in business, there's simply no alternative. And if they go out of business, then there's no jobs at all.

The sad truth here is that what has occurred under Barry's 'leadership' is nothing short of a national tragedy. The hope of being able to live out the American dream is fading faster than a black guy with a stolen TV in his hands. In this the most blessed country on the planet, what should now be painfully obvious to all is just how much devastation has resulted from the progressive/liberal agenda. And our useless state-controlled media is only too happy to play along as people are made to suffer, families are devastated because no one can't find work, taxes go up as Obamacare kills even more jobs, and our wasteful welfare system is literally choking us to death.

Sadly, we of this the most wasteful generation, have made the conscious decision to commit what can only be described as being the most unforgivable of sins. Because far too many of us have come to see our lives as somehow being more important than the lives of our children, overcome by the need to make our lives as 'easy' as we can. And in so doing, we choose not to rely on ourselves but, instead, on our government to 'take care of us'. And since the money needed to cover the cost of that 'care' must come from somewhere, unfortunately it will have to come from our children and, in all likelihood, from our grand children as well.

So it will be, then, all thanks to us, that our children's lives will very likely be so much less than what they could have been. Because they will be ones saddled with the additional responsibility of repaying the massive debt so cheerfully accrued by we, their parents. It just all seems kind of one-way to me. Personally, I wanted my daughter to be able to enjoy her life, to have as many kids as she wanted, and could support, to have a nice home and a steady job that she might actually enjoy doing. But the future that lays in wait for her is likely to be far different, and for no other reason than because her parent's generation got lazy, and more than just a bit stupid.

What we have done here equates to nothing short of having plundered our children's futures while at the same time squandering that which those who came before us handed down to us to safeguard and to improve upon, if possible, and to then handover to those who would come after us for them to fulfill that very same task. Well, to say that we dropped the ball on that one would be the understatement of the century. For whatever the reason, we allowed ourselves to be talked into ignoring the warning signs even though, I believe, deep down we knew better. And now it may very well be too late to get things turned around before the whole thing simply comes apart.

TURNS OUT NANCY WAS LYING…BIG SURPRISE THERE...

Ah yes, remember how it was back in those very heady days of 2010 when we all heard Nancy "Too Much Botox" Pelosi out in front extolling all of the great and wondrous benefits that all would be able to receive under Obamacare? Her exact words were: "Think of an economy where people could be an artist or a photographer or a writer without worrying about keeping their day job in order to have health insurance." Well, as it turns out, old Nancy was doing just a little over-selling of this thing, and was doing nothing more than telling another one of her frequent whoppers.

The reason I say that is because, apparently, up until now professional organizations have worked with various insurance providers in an effort to craft reduced-rate plans for their members. But thanks to the fine print in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), otherwise known as that very same Obamacare that was so enthusiastically touted by our esteemed Ms. Pelosi, that's all coming to a very abrupt end. Because as of January 1, 2014, many of these plans will fail to pass legal muster. But is anyone really all that surprised?

The College Art Association website posted a notice this month: "The New York Life Insurance Company recently informed CAA that it will no longer offer catastrophic healthcare coverage previously available to CAA members." Why? Well because it "is no longer an option" for "associations whose members reside in different states" to provide such coverage. These members will now have to seek help from their home states’ newly formed Obamacare exchanges. Plans offered to Modern Language Association (MLA) members will suffer a similar fate.

Other insurance providers are also reporting cancellations. The Entertainment Industry Group Insurance Trust (TEIGIT) website posts the following notice: "All individual and/or Sole Proprietor Health Insurance will terminate January 1, 2014. This includes plans acquired as Members of our Affiliated Associations & their groups." Those affiliated associations include the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists, the Dramatists Guild, the Graphic Arts Guild, NY Women in Film and Television, and many others. Many of these groups are, I'm sure, heavily infested with Barry voters.

So all of these flaming libs who, I'm quite sure, were thinking that they were being just oh-so-clever in casting their vote for Barry, as well as any other slimy Democrat, will soon be forced to contend with the very same Democrat created healthcare mess that many of the rest of us will also be forced to deal with. So I guess we will soon see just how committed these folks are to the whole notion of socialism once they are forced to deal with all that comes with having the government in charge of their healthcare. I can almost hear them whining already.
