According to breaking news headlines cluttering my TV screen, President Obama and Minority Senate Leader Mitch McConnell are “VERY CLOSE” to agreement on a deal (scam) that will end the debt-ceiling crisis, avoid default, and transport 307 million Americans to the promised land where we will all live happy forever more.
All in one fell swoop!
The good news is that Harry Reid has been “politically castrated” on national TV by Drs. Obama and McConnell without wasting taxpayer money and time on unnecessary anesthetics!
Thank God, we do NOT feel your pain, Senator Reid!
The bad news is that Tea Party Republicans in the U.S. House are also slated for “group castration,” again with Drs. Obama and McConnell administering the tough medicine to those vermin with the audacity to demand a balanced budget!
Let the message for forth to the heroic Tea Party members who have changed the way Americans think about spending and deficits: DO NOT WAIVER IN YOUR COMMITMENT TO CONSERVATIVE PRINCIPLES!
Americans are counting on the Tea Party to inject common sense and fiscal responsibility into this political debate.
Carry on Tea Party, and God Bless!

Obama’s “Great Achievement” in Iraq: Another Colossal Failure?
By John W. Lillpop
During an appearance on the Larry King show back in February 2010, Vice-President Joe Biden made headlines when he opined that the situation in Iraq would be a “great achievement” for the Obama Administration.
As reported, in part, at the reference, VP Biden said:
Fast forward to July 2011 where the Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction released his assessment (see reference 2) which is far less optimistic that the Biden gushing:
Iraq less safe than it was 12 months ago?
How, even in the muddled minds of Barack Obama and Joe Biden, does that qualify as a “greater achievement”?

During an appearance on the Larry King show back in February 2010, Vice-President Joe Biden made headlines when he opined that the situation in Iraq would be a “great achievement” for the Obama Administration.
As reported, in part, at the reference, VP Biden said:
“I am very optimistic about -- about Iraq. I mean, this could be one of the great achievements of this administration. You're going to see 90,000 American troops come marching home by the end of the summer. You're going to see a stable government in Iraq that is actually moving toward a representative government.”
Fast forward to July 2011 where the Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction released his assessment (see reference 2) which is far less optimistic that the Biden gushing:
"Iraq is a less safe place than it was one year ago as security deteriorates, an American watchdog warned on Saturday, just months ahead of a US withdrawal from the country.He added the transition of responsibility for reconstruction from the US military to the embassy was occurring "against the backdrop of a security situation in Iraq that continues to deteriorate."
The assessment by Stuart Bowen, the Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction, contrasts markedly from the more optimistic view often voiced by senior US army officers who argue Iraqis can maintain internal security.
Bowen said efforts by the US embassy to train Iraq's fledgling police force would be "challenging."
While the military has been in charge of developing Iraq's policemen, that responsibility is being transferred to the US State Department.
"Iraq remains an extraordinarily dangerous place to work," Bowen said in the report published on Saturday. "It is less safe, in my judgment, than 12 months ago."
Iraq less safe than it was 12 months ago?
How, even in the muddled minds of Barack Obama and Joe Biden, does that qualify as a “greater achievement”?

“Balance the Budget” and Other Racist Hate Speech!
By John W. Lillpop
For years, the United States Senate has earned universal respect and admiration as the “most deliberative body in the world.”
Indeed, the Senate has been seen as a cooling pond to counter the impulsive, knee-jerk reaction often emanating from the more radical U.S. House of Representatives.
All of which makes the recent behavior of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid seem most bizarre.
Specifically, after the U.S. House passed the Cut, Cap and Balance Act and sent same to Reid for action by the Senate, Reid broke out into a cold sweat while defiling the bill as weak and senseless” and “perhaps some of the worst legislation in the history of this country.”
Remember this is one of the trio of thugs who rammed ObamaCare down the throats of unwilling Americans!
Talk about weak, senseless legislation!
Still, Democrats all across the landscape of American politics seem to agree with Reid. It is though the term, “Balanced Budget” is the contemporary equivalent of the N word!
Reid also said the following about the first Boehner plan: “I’m not going to waste the Senate’s time day after day on this piece of legislation which I think is anathema to what our country is all about.”
Balancing the budget and cutting spending is “anathema to what our country is all about” ?
Other terms that Democrats universally object to include:
Free speech
Homeland Security
Rule of Law
US Constitution
And Tea Party members are extremists?

Harry Reid: Gifted at “Tabling,” Not So Good at “Passing”
By John W. Lillpop
When it comes to being a dangerous obstructionist, Harry Reid is without peer, as he proved once again by “tabling” the latest Boehner bill to address the debt-ceiling crisis just two hours after the House passed the measure.
Thus, for the second time in just a matter of days, the Harry-ied one has tabled a legitimate bill that passed the U.S House of Representatives, including Cut, Cap, and Balance, which won with support from five Democrats.
Reid and other moon bats (such as Nanny Pelosi) have complained that the U.S. House wasted valuable time by passing two bills doomed to failure.
Which brings up an interesting question: “Instead of standing by idly while all that time was being wasted, why did the Harry-ied one not put his “Plan” to the Senate floor for a vote?”
Doing so could have saved loads of time in the unlikely event that (perish the thought!), the revised Boehner passed and was sent to the Senate for compromise reconciliation.
So why did Harry Reid sit on his thumbs all last week with the default clock ticking away?
Because, dear patriot, Harry Reid knew that his bill would not pass the U.S. Senate! Period.
Which left the hysterical Reid hoping and wishing that the Boehner bill would crash and burn, leaving only the Reid bill standing.
Sorry, Harry! With passage of the Boehner bill, the ball is in your court. Again.
The burning question: Is Harry Reid capable of “passing” anything? After all, for more than 800 days, this fellow has been unable to pass a budget through the Senate!

De JA Vu All Over Again: U.S. House Passes Bill to Avoid Default
By John W. Lillpop
With support from Tea Party Patriots, the U.S. House of Representatives this afternoon passed a bill to avoid default and cut federal spending.
Known as the Boehner Bill, in honor of House Speaker John Boehner, the legislation passed by a mark of 218-210. No Democrats voted for the bill.
Thus, for the second time in less than two weeks, the U.S. House has passed a detailed debt plan, something that the U.S. Senate has failed to do.
President Obama has made offered several lectures and speeches to make known what he would not support, but has not committed to any specific spending cuts.
The approved Boehner bill now heads to the desk of Majority Leader Harry Reid who has been unable to pass even a budget in that chamber, much less a plan for dealing with the devastating debt accumulated by the Obama-Reid-Pelosi trio.
Hats off to John Boehner and may the U.S. Senate see truth and do what is right for America.

Why the Hell Are Muslims Still Allowed to Serve in U.S. Military?
By John W. Lillpop
How many more American soldiers need to be slaughtered in cold blood before those responsible for running the military prohibit Muslims from serving?
That question, as non-PC as one can possibly get, should nonetheless be a priority with anyone who has a loved one or friend now serving.
As indicated at the reference, yet another Muslim posing as an American solider has been arrested for plotting the death of young Americans:
Clearly, because America’s Commander-in-Chief refuses to accept the fact that radical Muslim IS very much a threat to all Americans, the military no longer has the ability to protect the lives and health of young Americans serving their nation!
An urgent message to Rep. Peter King of New York: Please continue to hold hearings on the radicalization of Muslims. Apparently, yours is one of the few voices of sanity on this issue!

As indicated at the reference, yet another Muslim posing as an American solider has been arrested for plotting the death of young Americans:
A U.S. soldier who was accused Thursday of planning to attack troops near Fort Hood, Tex., has told investigators that he was acting in support of Maj. Nidal M. Hasan, the Army psychiatrist who has been charged in the killing of 13 people at the base in 2009, according to congressional and federal officials.
Pfc. Naser Abdo, 21, was arrested in Killeen, Tex., after authorities said they discovered bombmaking materials in his motel room, as well as a copy of an article from the al-Qaeda magazine Inspire, which is produced by the terrorist group’s Yemen affiliate.
The officials said Abdo was planning to set off bombs at locations outside the base where soldiers gather and to follow the explosions with gunfire.
“I would classify this as a terror plot,” Police Chief Dennis Baldwin told reporters in Killeen. Law enforcement officials said Abdo would be charged in federal court with possession of bombmaking materials, among other offenses.
The emergence of another alleged plot to attack troops at the same base where Hasan is accused of striking may intensify fears that there is a growing terrorist threat from self-radicalized Americans and raise questions about whether the military can adequately identify internal threats. Hasan was arraigned in military court this month on capital murder charges but has not entered a plea.”
Clearly, because America’s Commander-in-Chief refuses to accept the fact that radical Muslim IS very much a threat to all Americans, the military no longer has the ability to protect the lives and health of young Americans serving their nation!

Let Them Drink Tea!
By John Lillpop
July 28 was an amazing day in America.
Early in the day, John Boehner, Erick Canter, and other Republican leaders confidently declared that the U.S. House would pass the Boehner plan and send it to the U.S. Senate where Harry Reid promised to run the document through a shredder immediately upon receipt.
Boehner had apparently turned the corner by telling his wild tea party members to “get you’re a**** in line!” Tough language usually works when delivered in stern tones and with clenched teeth.
By 11PM, Boehner and crew had cancelled any action on his namesake bill due to a lack of votes. The Speaker headed home as did Harry Reid after turning his shredder off for the day.
July 28 will be indelibly stamped on Boehner’s brain as the day that the Tea Party came of age in the U.S. If there was any lingering doubt as to the commitment, energy, and integrity of the Tea Party gang, all such doubt was erased as they brought down the Speaker and forced him to eat crow with the entire nation waiting to watch the House vote.
Democrats are snickering with glee at the rude treatment visited upon the befuddled Speaker.
A word of caution to Democrats: Do not underestimate the power of the Tea party. These patriots mean business and operate under the slogan, “Let them drink tea!”

Is Nancy Pelosi’s “Life As We Know It” Worth Saving?
Satire By John W. Lillpop
Once again, Comrade Nancy Pelosi of San Francisco has made headlines, this time with an out-of-this-world remark about the ongoing debt-ceiling war.
The former Shrieker of the House entertained the world with this pearl of wisdom:
“What we’re trying to do is save the world from the Republican budget,” she said. “We’re trying to save life on this planet as we know it today.”
So, just what is “Life as we know it” according to this bug-eyed grandma and is it worth saving?
Consider the fact that Comrade Nancy does hail from San Francisco—the only American city that tried to join the former USSR, but was rejected because Moscow found folks here too far to the left.
In San Francisco, “Life as we know it” includes the following untoward circumstances, because in San Francisco it is:
*A felony to vote Republican;
*Against the law to fly Old Glory without a special permit on Cinco de Mayo day when the Mexican flag is preeminent, and must not be mocked with vulgar displays of excessive Americanism;
* A hate crime to speak English at fast-food restaurants, car washes, emergency rooms, and whenever speaking to Hispanics obviously here illegally;
* A violation to wear the uniform of the Army, Navy, Air Force, or Marines, especially when one does so with an arrogant, “America First,” belligerence.
* True that attending a Christian church will automatically cause one's property taxes to double. However, there is an appeals process.
* Required that job applicants prove that they are transvestite, gay, handicapped, or a racial minority to qualify;
* A major crime to work at Wal-Mart;
*Possible to get an abortion on one of those fabulous cable cars, at most self-serve gas stations, at progressive piano bars, and at Alcatraz Island after 6pm, except on Mother's Day;
* Not enough to be a young Middle Eastern male who speaks Arabic in order to be considered a protected minority. In order to be so classified, one must have been arrested and charged with a terrorist act--- like attempting to move the Golden Gate Bridge to Oregon with an IED;
* Required that straight, white, employed Christian males notify the police 60 days before moving into a new neighborhood;
* Necessary to enroll as a dues-paying member of ACLU in order to secure a driver’s license;
*True that convicted sex offenders moving into San Francisco are automatically registered to vote as Democrats.
Therefore, the question as to whether liberalism spawns a life worth living is very much a matter of judgment and morality—both of which are in very short supply in the mind of Nancy Pelosi and other moon bats in ‘Frisco!

George Lopez Will Self-Deport If Palin Wins: Another Great Reason to Vote Palin!
By John W. Lillpop
Hispanic racist and alleged comedian George Lopez has made the American people an offer that we simply cannot afford to pass on.
Said the befuddled Lopez:
If only millions of Americans had used that criteria in 2008, Barack Obama would still be misrepresenting the people of Illinois in the U.S. Senate!
Here is hoping that Palin wins AND that Lopez keeps his promise and takes 20 million illegal aliens with him!
Sorry about that, Canada!

Hispanic racist and alleged comedian George Lopez has made the American people an offer that we simply cannot afford to pass on.
Said the befuddled Lopez:
“If Sarah Palin becomes president at any point, I would say ‘allegedly,’ I will move to Canada,” Lopez told the British talk show host. “I will go further north. I’ve been south but I will go further north. I will leave the United States of America.”Imagine that! A voter who actually wants politicians to have a political background.
When Morgan asked Lopez to expand on this “drastic” decision, the “Beverly Hills Chihuahua 2″ actor explained that he wants people in power to be politically experienced.
“I like my politicians to actually have a political background, to know politics,” Lopez said of the former vice presidential candidate and governor.”
If only millions of Americans had used that criteria in 2008, Barack Obama would still be misrepresenting the people of Illinois in the U.S. Senate!
Here is hoping that Palin wins AND that Lopez keeps his promise and takes 20 million illegal aliens with him!
Sorry about that, Canada!

Presidential Lecture on “Compromise” Ignored, Including by The One Himself!
By John W. Lillpop
With just one week remaining before Barack Obama turns 50, the president is finding his sphere of influence significantly reduced, especially in the debate over raising the debt ceiling.
Seems like just yesterday that this pompous elitist was playing out his role as the “adult in the room” by urging the disparate parties to “do the right thing” and compromise for the greater good.
More soaring rhetoric from the silver-tongued community organizer from Kenya who has yet to produce a deficit plan that can be scored by anyone, much less the CBO.
Just how effective was Obama’s impassioned plea?
Well, just hours after his lecture on the value of compromise, The One announced that he would veto the John Boehner plan being concocted in the U.S. House.
Way to show the spirit of compromise, BHO! Terrific example for other combatants in this urgent war on debt and spending excesses!
Following the Obama lead, 53 Senate Democrats took time from their busy schedules to send a missive to Speaker Boehner the essence of which was:

We hear you may be close to passing a viscous deficit-reduction plan in the House that will essentially wipe out what remains of the American middle class.
Just for the record, should that sad eventuality ensue, we are unanimous in telling you this: Get stuffed! The Boehner is DOA!”

An Inconvenient Truth: There Is NO Plan to CUT Deficit!
By John W. Lillpop
Although politicians from both sides of the political spectrum proudly declare that their particular “plan” will take a bite our of the whopping federal deficit, the brutal truth is quite the opposite.
Of the current plans being considered, neither the Boehner nor Reed plan will actually eat into the $14.3 trillion dollar yoke that is being fitted for our grandchildren, and Lord knows how many generations to follow.
Because this nation spends about $100 billion more each month than revenues received, the deficit automatically grows by about one-trillion each year. And that does not include interest on the debt or unexpected emergencies.
Thus, when John Boehner or Harry Reid boasts of saving a couple of trillion dollars over 10 years, the simple truth is that that would barely enable America to keep up with the escalating deficit!
If either of these plans is enacted, in year 2021 America will still have a $14.3 trillion dollar deficit, or more.
Furthermore, America has no savings for a rainy day, although violent storms are forecast for decades to come.
The solution: Congress must pass and the president must sign legislation which CUTS the debt-ceiling and requires immediate spending cuts so as to stop the accumulation of any more debt. Period!
Future budgets must be designed to cut ten percent of the federal deficit each year so that the debt is retired, in full, by 2021.
Call it a “Balanced Budget” by default if you will. America can no longer afford to have the nation’s financial future left in the hands of politicians who get elected by giving away other people’s money!
Tough medicine?
Of course, but unless the political class takes on this mess in a serious fashion, America will be pan handling on the Mexican border and in other third-world nations for funds to meet our basic needs!

Another Pelosi Democrat Succumbs to Sexual Misconduct
By John W. Lillpop
That swamp that Former Speaker of the U.S. House Nancy Pelosi vowed to drain continues to spit out morally-decadent Democrats with astounding regularity.
The latest lapse in Democrat decency comes from Oregon where Re. David Wu has announced his resignation owing to sexual missteps-- as reported at the reference in part:
Washington -- Rep. David Wu announced his resignation from Congress today, moments after U.S. senators Jeff Merkley and Ron Wyden called for his resignation.
The Democrat said in a statement that he would leave office after Congress resolves the debt ceiling crisis.
"With great sadness, I therefore intend to resign effective upon the resolution of the debt ceiling crisis. This is the right decision for my family, the institution of the House, and my colleagues."
Call me a cynic, but promising to resign “when the debt ceiling crisis is resolved” sounds like a Harry Reid gimmick to cut spending by not invading Canada!
Best to go now, Wu!

Obama Speech: Non-political Address of National Importance, or Political Spam?
By John W. Lillpop
CHANGE, more unwanted change, brought to We the People from the inept poser-in-chief, Barack Obama!
Traditionally, the announcement that the “President will address the nation at 9PM this evening,” is delivered in somber tones with classical music in the background, and means that:
( )America is about to engage in Kinetic Military Action (War in American English); or
( )America has been attacked, like on 9-11-01, 12-07-41; or
( )The brains of a high-value enemy combatant (Osama bin Laden) have been blown to smithereens, and the evil carcass has already buried at sea; or
( )A corrupt, lying weasel is getting the hell out of Washington before being forcibly removed from office (Richard Millhouse Nixon).
Those used to be the rules of engagement for major addresses to the American people from the president.
Until last night, that is.
In yet another foul misjudgment of epic proportions, Barack Obama has transformed the storied “Address to the Nation” from a unifying, inspirational message from the most power man on earth to everyday, average U.S. citizens into a tawdry campaign stop where the incumbent hawks Marxism and other anti-American pap to unsuspecting citizens, and does so on the dimes of networks and cable companies.
The real tragedy is that while Obama is delivering his “Collateral Damage” warning and John Boehner is responding in kind, no one is working on the bloody debt-crisis!
In his coast-to-coast spam-athon, Obama used all the catch phrases and cliches to get those “phones ringing,”-- at the office of Speaker Boehner.
Repeatedly, The One uttered the words “Fair Share” and “balanced” in his non-paid spam blast to convince the American people that a monthly federal deficit of $100 billion or so is not so much a spending problem, as it is a major rip-off by those who already pay 90 percent of all taxes and whom should be forced to pay even more to fund liberal spending eccentricities.
That argument in a society where most people pay zero—nada, none—in taxes is specious, at best!
If Obama really gave a tinker’s dam about the economy and the public debt, he would work to close the outrageous loopholes that allow anyone still capable of inhaling to pay NO TAXES!
Because whether progressive nut balls accept it or not, zero TAXES is NOT a “fair share” for anyone!
Any future Obama “Address to the Nation” must be carefully reviewed by cable and network executives to assure that the integrity of the medium is maintained.
That, and a crawler reading, “800-obamasucks” on the bottom of the screen would help put this nonsense in proper perspective!
CHANGE, more unwanted change, brought to We the People from the inept poser-in-chief, Barack Obama!
Traditionally, the announcement that the “President will address the nation at 9PM this evening,” is delivered in somber tones with classical music in the background, and means that:
( )America is about to engage in Kinetic Military Action (War in American English); or
( )America has been attacked, like on 9-11-01, 12-07-41; or
( )The brains of a high-value enemy combatant (Osama bin Laden) have been blown to smithereens, and the evil carcass has already buried at sea; or
( )A corrupt, lying weasel is getting the hell out of Washington before being forcibly removed from office (Richard Millhouse Nixon).
Those used to be the rules of engagement for major addresses to the American people from the president.
Until last night, that is.
In yet another foul misjudgment of epic proportions, Barack Obama has transformed the storied “Address to the Nation” from a unifying, inspirational message from the most power man on earth to everyday, average U.S. citizens into a tawdry campaign stop where the incumbent hawks Marxism and other anti-American pap to unsuspecting citizens, and does so on the dimes of networks and cable companies.
The real tragedy is that while Obama is delivering his “Collateral Damage” warning and John Boehner is responding in kind, no one is working on the bloody debt-crisis!
In his coast-to-coast spam-athon, Obama used all the catch phrases and cliches to get those “phones ringing,”-- at the office of Speaker Boehner.

Obama Leading from Behind—Involuntarily!
By John W. Lillpop
In executing non-hostilities in Libya last spring, President Obama coined, or caused to be coined, the phrase, “Leading from Behind,” a euphemistic way to describe abdication of presidential responsibility.
Now it appears as though Obama’s dodging of responsibility has taken hold in the debt-ceiling/deficit crisis playing out in Washington.
Except, the this time the “Leading from Behind” posture is involuntary on Obama’s part.
As reported, in part, at the reference:
First came the Biden talks. When those blew up, the Obama-Boehner talks took center stage. And when that failed, the McConnell-Reid talks looked promising. And after they faltered, the Obama-Boehner talks tried to find a new life.
Now it’s all come down to the Boehner-Reid-Pelosi-McConnell talks to solve the debt crisis. Notably absent? The president.
In a frantic bid to avoid causing a worldwide economic disruption, debt negotiations have shifted wholly to Capitol Hill, as a frustrated President Barack Obama has taken a step back and allowed House and Senate leaders to try to find a way out of the debt-ceiling debacle.”
Whether or not Obama’s absence is a positive is to be determined.
However, one thing is certain: The maturity level and professional demeanor of press conferences will be greatly enhanced with Obama sitting quietly on the side lines!

Is AAA Credit Rating Good or Bad for America?
By John W. Lillpop
Worried about August 2 and the financial “Armageddon” that will allegedly wipe out the U.S. and the world if the debt-ceiling is not raised by then?
Forget August 2, patriot!
Thanks to genius unleashed in Washington D.C., the drop dead mark has been moved up to 4pm, EST.
Today!
According to financial wizards(the same who failed to keep America from falling into this mess to begin with), the Congress must solve the crisis by this afternoon in order to prevent the “markets” from melting down in Asia, and snowballing into complete disaster on Wall Street come Monday.
Thus, Congressional critters are working this Sunday in a heated rush to show Asia that Yankee ingenuity and Exceptionalism are still formidable, the Presidency of Barack Hussein Obama notwithstanding.
But would America actually be better off if our vaunted AAA credit rating was knocked down a notch or two?
As it now stands, America is cursed by the presence of Democrats in the White House and U.S. Senate who refuse to accept the fact that reckless, irresponsible spending must be halted in order to assure the long-term solvency of the American economy, and our democracy itself.
Yet, despite all the warnings, Democrats continue to pursue the “spend and tax agenda” that has America reeling out of control and on the brink of bankruptcy.
Part of the “problem” may be our cherished AAA credit rating, which makes it possible for Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, and Barack Obama to continue the pattern of spending like drunken sailors with impunity.
Default and downgrade, unthinkable to most, might just provide the medicine needed to treat the liberal addiction to excessive spending.
Would America be better off, in the long-term, if the ability of our government to borrow additional sums, which we cannot afford, was involuntarily reduced by downgrade of our credit?
At least until the American people can remove woefully ignorant and reckless progressives from the White House and Senate in November 2012?

Unable to Woo on His Own, Democrat Congressman Wu Resorts to “Unwelcome Sexual Encounter” With Teen!
By John W. Lillpop
Malcontent Democrats in elective office continue to make criminal news headlines with their untoward forwardness of a sexual nature.
The latest lapse in Democrat morality comes from Oregon where David Wu allegedly resorted to illicit behavior when he was unable to woo the lass of his affections.
As reported at the reference in part:
“Rep. David Wu has been accused of an “unwanted sexual encounter” with the teenage daughter of a longtime friend, the latest scandal to engulf the troubled Oregon Democrat.
The Oregonian reported that the 56-year-old Wu acknowledged a sexual encounter to his senior aides but insisted it was consensual,” according to sources aware of the incident.
The unidentified teenager and her family did not file any criminal complaint over the incident, which apparently took place sometime around last Thanksgiving.
Calling the episode “very serious,” Wu did not specifically address allegations that he made unwanted sexual advances toward the young woman who is the daughter of a donor.
“This is very serious, and I have absolutely no desire to bring unwanted publicity, attention or stress to a young woman and her family,” Wu said.”
Among the most pathetic of Wu’s lulus is when he said, “This is very serious, and I have absolutely no desire to bring unwanted publicity, attention or stress to a young woman and her family,” Wu said.”
It’s bad enough to assault the young lass, Representative, but to then hide behind her skirt is unforgivable and all too typical of a perverted Democrat!
Shame on you, Wu!

Borders “Never More Secure”? Not According to Rap Sheet for Jose Vigil Carbajal!
By John W. Lillpop
Homeland Security boss lady Janet Napolitano has repeatedly stated that the U.S.-Mexico border has never been more secure. Her spin is intended to counter demands that the borders be secured before “comprehensive reform,” otherwise known as amnesty, is even considered.
Its all part of the sinister Obama master plan to fundamentally CHANGE America by importing and granting amnesty to millions of non-English speaking foreign invaders who, if promised enough goodies, can be counted on to vote Democratic for decades.
Never mind that such a tactic threatens American sovereignty, economic health, culture and language.
All that matters to Obama and the left is the golden opportunity to build the base of the Democrat Party with millions of docile sheep ripe for brain washing as useful idiots.
Unfortunately for Napolitano and Obama, huge holes in the actual border, and in the liberal argument, continue to ridicule the notion that the border is secure.
The latest outrage comes from Escondido, California as reported in part at the reference:
Good grief, Madam Secretary, how in the hell does that qualify as “Never more secure” ?
The progressive impulse to ignore homeland security in order to grow the Democrat Party base is out of control! On a scale damn near as disastrous as the party’s idiotic stance on spending and deficits.
Awaken, America! Your nation is being sold out to illegal aliens by politicians who hate this beloved nation.

The latest outrage comes from Escondido, California as reported in part at the reference:
ESCONDIDO — A 25-year-old man with an extensive criminal history who has been repeatedly deported was detained this week in Escondido, police said Thursday.Deported 15 times, including three times over the past nine months?
Jose Vigil Carbajal, 25, was stopped Monday by Escondido police officers for a vehicle-code violation, said police Lt. Craig Carter. He was turned over to U.S. Immigration and Customs enforcement officials and was scheduled to again be removed from the country. According to ICE, he has been deported 15 times.
Carbajal’s criminal record includes four arrests for driving under the influence, one arrest for hit-and-run and two arrests for driving with a suspended license.
It was the third time that Escondido police have detained Carbajal, Carter said. The first was last November, also for a vehicle-code violation. The second was May 11 for disturbing the peace while attending a party.
In each case, Carbajal was deported after being turned over to ICE officials under a program called Operation Joint Effort.
The program, launched in May 2010, partners Escondido police with federal immigration-enforcement officers in an effort to help identify and arrest criminal illegal immigrants.
Since its inception, ICE officials have arrested 539 illegal immigrants who were previously deported, had a criminal history or were ICE fugitives at large.
Among those arrested, 70 had drug convictions, 49 had assault convictions, 13 had sexual assault convictions, 141 had DUI convictions, 43 had theft convictions and 19 had gang-related convictions. Twenty have been arrested in Escondido multiple times.”

President Obama, Senate Democrats: Just Say YES! to Cut, Cap, and Balance!
During President Obama’s emotional tirade on Friday, he fumed about Republicans and posed the following question, “Can they say yes to anything?”
The answer to that rhetorical gouging is an emphatic: Yes! they can, and have already done so!
Fact is, the ONLY actual legislation for ending the debt-ceiling crisis was passed Monday by the U.S. House.
Its called “Cut, Cap, and Balance” and passed by a 234-190 tally in the House, including five votes from Democrats.
Cut, Cap, and Balance was then sent to the U.S. Senate, where, at the hysterical urging of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, it was tabled, 51-46.
All Republican Senators voted YES!
If just a couple of Democrats in the U.S. Senate had voted YES!, Cut, Cap, and Balance would have been headed to the president for signature.
The question then would be, “Can President Obama say YES! to a reasonable bill to end the debt ceiling crisis and tackle the deficit in a responsible manner?”
Bill Wilson of Americans for Limited Government put it this way as reported at the reference:
When will President Obama and Senate Democrats get serious about reigning in spending and cutting the deficit?
Can they say YES! to the “shovel ready” solution known as Cut, Cap, and Balance?

Bill Wilson of Americans for Limited Government put it this way as reported at the reference:
“The defeat today in the Senate of the ‘Cut, Cap, and Balance’ provision to deal with the debt ceiling crisis is a tragedy. We have lost, through this vote, not just the ability of any short term remedy, but the opportunity to put America on a trajectory for fiscal sustainability and a return to sound economic planning and thinking. Today is going to be marked, frankly, as a tragic day in American history. This is the day when the Senate went on record wanting to see America expand its debt, which will inevitably lead to the collapse of the dollar and the collapse of the U.S. economy.Thus, the issue drags on and the threat of a default remains alive.
“Credit rating agencies Moody’s and S&P have warned if a fiscal consolidation plan of at least $4 trillion is not put in place now, our Triple-A credit rating will be revoked. That will crash markets all over the world, mean higher interest payments, which already total in the hundreds of billions every year, and make the size of budget cuts needed even larger in the future. Washington simply is not taking this threat seriously. ‘Cut, Cap, and Balance’ is the only proposal on the table that can deal with this threat in a timely and effective manner, saving $5.8 trillion in the next ten years and balancing the budget.
“Senators who profess to support a Balanced Budget Amendment and who voted no on ‘Cut, Cap, and Balance’ have, through their deceit, tabled the one proposal that can prevent a downgrade. They are guaranteeing that their own states, which too will be affected by a Treasury downgrade, will have to make even higher interest payments on municipal debt. By fighting budget cuts in Washington, senators are guaranteeing bigger budget cuts at home down the road.
“When the nation is downgraded, and markets crash, the American people now have someone to blame: Those senators that refused to take the opportunity presented by ‘Cut, Cap, and Balance’ to restore order to the nation’s fiscal house.”
When will President Obama and Senate Democrats get serious about reigning in spending and cutting the deficit?
Can they say YES! to the “shovel ready” solution known as Cut, Cap, and Balance?

Obama’s Cool Goes Missing—Again!
By John W. Lillpop
In what is becoming a familiar ritual in Washington, President Barack Obama went on a 35-minute tirade of angry accusations, name calling, and peeved rhetoric again; this time, against his former golf buddy John Boehner, Speaker of the U.S. House.
Obama’s rant was ostensibly about Boehner’s vacating the “Big Deal” one-on-one talks, but the truth may have more to do with presidential rage over not getting a return call than any specific issue related to the debt-ceiling.
Obama’s ego has long been the “ugly elephant” in the room in solving the debt crisis, but today the elephant seems to have scared off the legendary Obama cool.
Characteristic of Obama’s pompous arrogance was this paraphrased declaration, “I Told Boehner, Pelosi, Reid, and McConnell to be in my office at 11am tomorrow, and be prepared to tell me what they are going to do.”
Who would imagine that the president was talking about the Speaker and Minority Leader of the U.S. House, and Majority and Minority Leader of the U.S. Senate, and not school mates of daughters Malia and Sasha?
Perhaps the 116 degree Washington heat has finally gotten to The One in a manner never anticipated?
Or maybe the president is suffering through late-stage nicotine withdrawal?
Whatever the answer, this president needs to reign in his uncontrolled anger and deal with this issue in a calm and professional manner!

Just What Are Obama and Boehner Discussing in Those Secret Meetings?
Call me a skeptic, cynic, or even a Doubting Thomas when it comes to the secret, private meetings allegedly taking place at the White House between President Obama and Speaker John Boehner about the debt-ceiling crisis.
For several weeks now, the media have reported that these two “public servants” have sequestered themselves somewhere in the White House for hours of one-on-one negotiations, undertaken to end the bitter stalemate over raising the debt-ceiling, thereby avoiding a default come August 2.
Obama and Boehner have allegedly worked late into nights and on weekends, in addition to hours spent blabbing on the telephone.
The two even held a highly celebrated and public negotiation on the golf course, along with VP Biden and Ohio Governor John Kasich.
While it is undeniable that the issue is hugely sensitive and a veritable political land mine for all involved, the fact is that Obama is stridently opposed to any and all spending cuts while Boehner is just as adamant in opposing taxes, or anything remotely resembling same.
So why the hell does it take these two powerful men hours and hours on end to keep saying, “Keep your slimy Republican hands off Social Security and Medicare!” in Obama’s case, and “Read my lips—no new or old taxes!” in Boehner’s case?
Suspicious minds want to know!
A conspiracy theory worth considering: Both Obama and Boehner know that America’s financial mess is so icky that the only way out is through default and bankruptcy. No other solution is viable, nothing else will work.
So why the hours and hours of torture behind closed doors?
It’s all a façade, folks! The President and Speaker have conceded that America will tank on August 3, but are engaging in these phantom meetings to give the appearance of working their fingers to the bones to avoid the default pain.
In truth, the president and Boehner shoot hoops in the White House gym for an hour or so, or until Boehner, a heavy smoker, collapses. Boehner then goes home, after logging out on the official White House visitor record.
There are no marathon meetings between these two powerful leaders, except for games of HORSE, inevitably won by the president!

Time to End “Occupation” of America by Foreign Invaders!
By John W. Lillpop
Barack Obama’s agenda for “transforming” America into a Marxist state has been foiled in large part by the American people who, in November, 2010, booted 66 Democrats out of the U.S. House and muted former speaker Nancy Pelosi.
The liberal hold on the U.S. Senate was also diminished, leaving Harry Reid with far less power and influence.
The elections of 2010 may have saved the republic from creeping Marxism; however, there are formidable challenges remaining.
For example, there is the occupation of America by 12-20 million, non-English speaking invaders who are a huge drain on America’s economy and cultural heritage. What other civilized nation would tolerate such an outrage?
Unfortunately, anti-American zealots occupy the White House and are present in the U.S. Congress as well. All are Democrats, such as Luis Guitterz, the Hispanic racist from Illinois who hates the rule of law and white people in equal measure.
There is a slight ray of hope. A recent poll conducted by Democrat pollsters suggests that, if the presidential election were held today, Barack Obama would join 14 million other Americans in the unemployment line.
The hope is that the poll will nudge our Marxist community organizer a smidgen to the right and toward common sense.
Obama could improve his standing with the American people by aggressively working to end the occupation of America by illegal aliens including the following steps:
( )Secure our borders, with military force if needed. We need a permanent, sizable military presence at the border to protect American citizens from invasion by criminals from Mexico;
( )Drop any and all plans to grant amnesty to illegal aliens, including the idiotic and wasteful “Dream” outrage. America is in desperate financial straits: We simply cannot waste additional billions on invading criminals at the expense of American citizens;
( )Cease all foreign aid to Mexico until that nation takes action to keep its citizens from invading America. Mexico needs to prevent, rather than encourage, its people from coming north illegally.
Finally, Mr. President, you should cherish and love the U.S. Constitution and rule of law.
What are the odds that Obama will act to end the occupation of America? Not good since he sees illegal aliens as potential Democrats.
Still, with even Democrat pollsters painting a grim picture for the president, perhaps he will see truth and start reversing the invasion and occupation of America!

Democrat Pollster: If Election Were Held Today, Obama Would Lose!
By John W. Lillpop
More bad news for America’s employment picture AND a grim poll for President Obama which suggests that The One himself may join the ranks of the unemployed in 2012.
As reported, in part, at the reference:
So how does THAT poll fit into your obsession with polls and concern for what Americans want, Mr. President?
Perhaps it is time to abandon the scare tactics over Social Security and the debt-ceiling hysteria?
Why not roll up your sleeves and think about the best interests of all Americans, rather pandering to corrupt unions, illegal aliens, and lawyers that represent special interests?
Most specifically, why not concede that America cannot and will not agree to a Marxist take-over of our beloved nation?
The following steps could improve your standing with the American people:
( ) Repeal ObamaCare in its entirety;
( ) Get behind a serious program to deal with the toxic spending and deficit accumulation. May we recommend a full and complete endorsement of the Cut, Cap, and Balance bill that recently passed the U.S. House?
( )Comply with the War Powers Resolution with respect to Libya and any and all future wars or “Kinetic” actions;
( )Secure our borders, with military force if needed. We need a permanent, sizable military presence at the border to protect American citizens from invasion by criminals from Mexico;
( )Drop any and all plans to grant amnesty to illegal aliens, including the idiotic and wasteful “Dream” outrage. America is in desperate financial straits: We simply cannot waste additional billions on invading criminals at the expense of American citizens;

Finally, Mr. President, you should cherish and love the U.S. Constitution and rule of law.
After all, you did swear to uphold and defend our Constitution!
To GOP cowards plotting to cave-in to Obama on the debt-ceiling: Read these numbers and act accordingly! This may truly be a golden opportunity to prevent America from turning into a Marxist state!

As reported, in part, at the reference:
A Democratic polling firm said President Obama's already weak job-approval numbers are "worse than they appear" and he likely would lose the election if it were held today.
For the first time in a year, Mr. Obama does not lead former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney in Public Policy Polling's monthly national poll on the 2012 presidential race. They are tied at 45 percent, and Mr. Obama is losing among independent voters by a margin of 49 percent to 44 percent.
Worse for Mr. Obama, PPP said, the "vast majority" of undecideds disapprove of the president's performance. The survey of registered voters was conducted July 15-17.
"There's a very good chance Barack Obama would lose if he had to stand for re-election today," said Dean Debnam, president of PPP. "This is his worst poll standing in a long time, and he really needs the economy to start turning around."
So how does THAT poll fit into your obsession with polls and concern for what Americans want, Mr. President?
Perhaps it is time to abandon the scare tactics over Social Security and the debt-ceiling hysteria?
Why not roll up your sleeves and think about the best interests of all Americans, rather pandering to corrupt unions, illegal aliens, and lawyers that represent special interests?
Most specifically, why not concede that America cannot and will not agree to a Marxist take-over of our beloved nation?
The following steps could improve your standing with the American people:
( ) Repeal ObamaCare in its entirety;
( ) Get behind a serious program to deal with the toxic spending and deficit accumulation. May we recommend a full and complete endorsement of the Cut, Cap, and Balance bill that recently passed the U.S. House?
( )Comply with the War Powers Resolution with respect to Libya and any and all future wars or “Kinetic” actions;
( )Secure our borders, with military force if needed. We need a permanent, sizable military presence at the border to protect American citizens from invasion by criminals from Mexico;
( )Drop any and all plans to grant amnesty to illegal aliens, including the idiotic and wasteful “Dream” outrage. America is in desperate financial straits: We simply cannot waste additional billions on invading criminals at the expense of American citizens;
( )Cease all foreign aid to Mexico until that nation takes action to keep its citizens from invading America. Mexico needs to prevent, rather than encourage, its people from coming north illegally.
Finally, Mr. President, you should cherish and love the U.S. Constitution and rule of law.
After all, you did swear to uphold and defend our Constitution!
To GOP cowards plotting to cave-in to Obama on the debt-ceiling: Read these numbers and act accordingly! This may truly be a golden opportunity to prevent America from turning into a Marxist state!

A Poll That Barack Would Like to Bury and Forget
By John W. Lillpop
With America at risk of default what with the debt-ceiling crisis, President Obama allegedly suddenly finds comfort and wisdom in what the people want.
In fact, Obama gushed with pride recently while claiming that 80 percent of the American people agree with his “balanced” approach to the crisis.
However, as indicated at the reference, most voters do NOT agree with raising the debt limit and believe that Obama was using missed Social Security checks as a scare tactic:
Get that, Barack? Sixty percent, including 44 percent of Democrats, disagree with you on raising the limit!

However, as indicated at the reference, most voters do NOT agree with raising the debt limit and believe that Obama was using missed Social Security checks as a scare tactic:
Most American voters oppose raising the national debt ceiling and think talk of missed Social Security checks is just a scare tactic. Voters are optimistic that a debt deal will be made soon, and if it isn’t they will blame both Republicans and Democrats.
These are just some of the findings from a Fox poll released Wednesday.
Voters were asked to imagine being a lawmaker in Congress who had to cast an up-or-down vote on raising the debt ceiling. The poll found 35 percent would vote in favor of increasing the limit, while 60 percent would vote against it.
Most Tea Partiers (81 percent), Republicans (76 percent) and independents (63 percent) would vote against raising the limit. Views among Democrats are more evenly divided: 50 percent would raise it and 44 percent wouldn’t.”
Get that, Barack? Sixty percent, including 44 percent of Democrats, disagree with you on raising the limit!

Obama’s “Leading from Behind” Adds to Debt-Ceiling Crisis!
By John W. Lillpop
President Obama’s “Leading from Behind” shirking of responsibility has been a disaster with respect to the war in Libya and is a major reason for the debt-ceiling crisis now threatening the financial health of the entire nation.
For months, leaders of both parties have publicly called for the president to “engage” in the debt-ceiling work. Despite calls for Obama to get personally involved, the president has chosen to ignore those calls and has referred all concerns to the affable Vice-President, a man more suited to be court jester than leader on an issue as urgent as the debt-ceiling.
After dumping the debt-crisis mess on the back of VP Biden, Obama free to devote precious hours of time for the really urgent business the day: Raising 80 million dollars for his re-election and re-coronation in 2012!
Raising campaign money became the president’s obsession, interrupted only by an occasional round of golf.
Obama needs to understand the following: If the current state of America continues because of your “Leading from Behind” foolishness, you will have all the time in the world to golf, golf, and golf some more, starting the afternoon of January 21, 2013!

An Obama Epiphany on What Americans Want?
By John W. Lillpop
The American people have never approved of the Marxist health scare scheme known as ObamaCare. From the time that the government takeover of 17 percent of the U.S. economy was first proposed in Congress to this day, a majority of Americans are opposed and favor repeal of the hideous bill.
Yet, President Obama continues to support the flawed bill, despite what the American people want.
In general, a large majority (70-80 percent) of Americans think the nation is headed in the wrong direction.
Yet, President Obama continues his assault on the U.S. economy, the Constitution, and American capitalism with naïve, foolish policies which push the nation further into debt and toward socialism, a failed ideology.
Overall, this president has shown a persistent and impassioned disregard for what the American people want, and what the Constitution requires.
Now, with America on the cusp of default what with the debt-ceiling crisis, President Obama suddenly has an epiphany, a spiritual awakening if you will, and finds comfort and wisdom in what the people want.
In fact, Obama gushed with pride recently while claiming that 80 percent of the American people agree with his “balanced” approach to the crisis.

Rebekah? Rebekah Who?
By John W. Lillpop
With America on the brink of financial bankruptcy at the hands of an untalented Marxist who hates America, why in Hades are CNN, FOX News, and MSNBC wasting precious broadcast time covering this Rebekah whatever from across the pond?
Rebekah Brooks? Like who gives a damn?
While this fuzzy-headed limy blathers on and on in a form of English that is inexcusable for anyone over age 5, those of us who speak English as God intended long for our daily ration of lies and exaggerations from the White House where Barack Obama speaks perfect English while making history on a daily basis as the most incompetent and corrupt man to step foot in the property known as 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
We need our daily “fix” of weeping and slobbering from the Crier of the House, John Boehner. Boehner almost, but not quite, makes one long for the deposed Shrieker of the House and prominent moon bat, Nancy Pelosi.
We yearn for the latest sabotage scheme from Mitch McConnell, the Kentucky gentleman who is pushing Barack Obama as the first official, black dictator of the U.S.
Good heavens, give us our lying, double-crossing, inept American politicians, all of whom know how to speak English!

Barack Talks to a Banker About Raising the Debt Ceiling
Satire by John Lillpop
Anyone who has ever applied for a loan from a bank knows that the federal government’s current efforts to raise the debt ceiling would most likely be rejected by most financial institutions.
Still, it might be fun to imagine what would happen if Barack Obama was forced to jump through normal hoops in order to raise the debt ceiling.
We imagine the following dialog might take place:
Banker: Good morning, Mr. Obama. Please have a seat. You don’t mind if I call you Barack, do you?
BHO: Actually, I prefer “Mr. President.”
Banker: Great. Now about your application, Barack ,you are looking to increase your credit limit, is that right?
BHO: That is correct.
Banker: And what is the purpose? I do not see that listed here---
BHO: The increased limit is to accommodate urgently needed additional spending.
Banker: Ouch! This must be a typo, Barack. According to this, your current obligations exceed your income, leaving you with a substantial deficit every month. That must be an error?
BHO: Actually, it’s easily explained. We have had some ferocious headwinds recently that have set us back, and ---
Banker: You mean to say these are your actual numbers? You are already running a deficit and you want us to increase your credit line?
BHO: It’s just a temporary bleep that we are in and I expect---
Banker: Sir, I am sorry! It would be totally reckless and irresponsible of this institution to enable you to get further in debt. With all due respect, sir, your have a devastating spending problem. You need to stop spending, Barack!
BHO: What are you, some sort of Tea Party racist or something?
Banker: Mr. Obama, I must ask to leave this bank immediately. There is no way we can help you. Perhaps the Bank of Greece could help?
THAT is how any sane person would respond to Obama’s scam. Unfortunately, Obama is dealing with the Congress where sanity is never in vogue!

Justice in America: Wonderful—When We Agree With the Verdict!
Casey Anthony was released from prison early Sunday morning in a profound affirmation of the “Innocent until proven guilty” benchmark of American jurisprudence.
After three years and a brutal trial in which she was ultimately acquitted of killing her daughter, Casey left the structured confines of a brick and mortar prison to begin a new life as a free woman.
Yet, just how free is Casey?
Her face is immediately recognizable and many Americans consider her guilty of murdering her own child, notwithstanding the verdict of the jury.
National notoriety means that Anthony cannot live anything even resembling a normal life, at least not for the foreseeable future. The mainstream media will hound her 24/7, denying her any hope of privacy.
Anthony's parents have said loud and clear: Do NOT come home.
Those who disagree with the verdict have already issued death threats and are a clear and present danger to her safety and life-- and will be for a long time.
She cannot visit the restaurant of her choice, catch the latest Harry Potter movie, rent an apartment, purchase an automobile, or get her hair tended to without an armed escort.
That reality will be with her for some time.
In effect, Casey remains under “House Arrest” by those
who refuse to accept the findings of a duly-seated jury that
appears to have acted in accordance with instructions
issued by the presiding judge.
I have no way of knowing if Anthony murdered young Caylee; anyone who claims to know that of a certitude is a damn liar or damn fool, most likely an unflattering combination of both.
The point is that either we believe that our legal system works-- or we do not.
After the verdict has been rendered, and no egregious error of procedure is identified, it makes no sense whatsoever to second-guess the work of the 12 jurors who reviewed every piece of evidence and whom were exposed to all arguments, for and against.
Of course, one can disagree. That is the American way.
I do regret the fact that defense lawyers are not charged with seeking truth. Rather, they are paid, often handsomely, to create reasonable doubt.
Again, that is the American way!

10 Steps to Understanding Liberal Thinking
The liberal brain does not collect and process information in a logical, reasonable, and objective manner. Rather, liberal thinking is dominated by an obsession with power, and use of that power to preserve elitist advantages.
This distorted perspective makes it very difficult to understand exactly how liberals think without advanced training in Abnormal Psychology.Nonetheless, the following non-technical summary should be useful to lay people.
How liberals think on 10 major issues of the day:
1. The U.S. Constitution Is Unconstitutional
According to liberal dogma, the Declaration of Independence, U.S. Constitution, and Bill of Rights are unconstitutional because all were crafted by an exclusive conclave of white male Christians.
Women, Hispanics, African-Americans, Asians, gays, lesbians, transsexuals, the handicapped, Muslims, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, and the blind were all under represented, if at all.
Because of this devastating lack of diversity, the Constitution must be regarded as a “living document,” subject to change in accordance with ever changing demographics and contemporary values.
2. Free Speech
Freedom of speech must never be quashed, except for criticism directed at minorities and sensitive constituencies of the Democrat party.
Burning Old Glory is protected free speech, whereas expressions of conservative values by people like Rush Limbaugh and Michael Savage are unacceptable “hate speech,” which must be subjected to “fairness” censoring by the federal government.
3. Abortion, the Death Penalty and Assisted Suicide
On issues of life and death, liberals are especially vulnerable to tripping on their own hypocritical double talk.
Namely:
A woman’s right to abort the life of an innocent child is inalienable; whereas execution of a convicted killer is cruel, unusual & barbaric.
Starving a helpless victim like Terri Schaivo to death is acceptable; but using lethal injection to end the life of a brutal killer is not.
4. Religion
Religious faith and belief in God are outdated pagan concepts, which do more harm than good. Sophisticated citizens can rely on the Democrat party for support from cradle to grave, obviating the need to rely on beliefs and rituals long since debunked.
Symbols of Christianity such as the Ten Commandments, the Cross, Christmas trees, nativity scenes, and the like must be hidden from public view so as to offend no one.
Publicly wishing a friend or family member “Merry Christmas” is clearly an act of civil disobedience and unconstitutional.
While Christianity is to be suppressed at all costs, Islam must be openly promoted in the name of religious awareness, sensitivity and tolerance.
The separation of state and government applies fully when dealing with Christianity or Judaism, but is irrelevant with regard to Islam and all other religions.
Delivery of Christmas cards and gifts by the United States Postal Service is an unconstitutional violation of state-religion separation and must end immediately.
5. Taxes
Leveling the playing field between haves and have-nots is the most important function of government, even more critical than national security.
To support that objective, no government role is more essential than levying and collecting taxes, otherwise known as redistribution of wealth.
Tax cuts are wrong when returned to people who actually paid taxes, but are perfectly fine when sent to those who paid none.
Although most liberals deny that Jesus even lived, many use the quote in Matthew 22:21, “Render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s…” to justify higher taxes.
Paying taxes is the “Christian Conservative” thing to do!
6. Marriage and Same-Sex Issues
The traditional American family consisting of one man and one woman is just one of several possible arrangements, all of which are equally moral and acceptable.
Marriage is no longer necessary to sanctify man-woman relationships.
Although the institution of marriage is no longer vital to heterosexual partners, it is absolutely essential that same-sex couples be allowed to marry. To deny them that basic right is discriminatory, immoral, unfair, and clearly unconstitutional.
7 Racism, Diversity and Affirmative Action
Liberals believe that discrimination based on race or gender is wrong. Except when waged against Caucasian men, in which case it is mandated by law and called Affirmative Action.
“Our Diversity Is our Greatest Strength” is the liberal pledge of allegiance to socialism.
Enforcing U.S. borders and immigration laws, including deportation of illegal aliens, is wrong because it targets Hispanics, obviously based on racial profiling.
Those who support English as the official language of America are racists. But those who prefer Spanish and other foreign languages over English are not because of the inherent value of diversity.
Conservatives who seek to preserve American language and culture are bigoted hate mongers, whereas new immigrants, including illegal aliens, must be allowed to maintain and celebrate their cultural heritage at all costs, even if it interferes with assimilation into mainstream America.
8. Preserving the American Dream for Working Class Americans
According to liberal propaganda, they are the only hope for American families, notwithstanding the fact that Democrats support the influx of millions of illegal aliens who work for lower wages and without benefits, and drive down the standard of living for working families.
Skyrocketing gasoline prices devastate working American families, but protecting Alaskan wild life is a greater priority.
Businesses are oppressive institutions that must not be allowed to become too large and powerful. By contrast, government creates wealth & happiness and should be expanded whenever possible.
Outsourcing of American jobs to foreign nations is driven by immoral corporate greed.By contrast, open borders and amnesty are acceptable because most illegal aliens are future Democrats.
Huge profits are obscene and un-American, except when enjoyed by Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, George Soros, Oprah Winfrey, Ted Turner, and other liberals.
9. Global Warming, the Environment, and Energy Independence
According to liberal technocrats like Al Gore, Nancy Pelosi, Katie Couric, and Dennis Kucinich, global warming is a greater threat to the health and well being of humanity than the war on terror.
Some liberal extremists even think that the colors of the American flag should be changed to green, white, and blue so as to reflect the importance of the environment to our nation, while simultaneously deleting the color red, which symbolizes blood shed in illegal wars waged by Bushes 41 and 43.
10. Use of Military Force, Invading Foreign Nations
Military force must never be used, except when needed to advance interests not vital to the United States, or to obscure a Democrat president’s sexual misconduct in the Oval Office.
Invading a foreign nation is wrong, except when aliens from Mexico invade America.
Bottom line: Understanding liberal thinking is probably more trouble than it is worth. The more prudent action would be to take all necessary steps to assure that liberals are not elected or reelected to political office.

Political Fairy Tales Spun by Barack Obama
By John W. Lillpop
Barack Obama is generally regarded as a brilliant man, almost without peer on earth. That is the belief of most in the mainstream media and, especially, by Obama himself.
Several political fairy tales spun by the president call that assumption into play.
The Top Ten fairy tales told by Barack Obama:
80 percent of the American people want their taxes raised;
Raising taxes will cost the economy jobs(Dec 2010); not raising taxes will cost the economy jobs (July 2011);
Borders between the U.S. and Mexico have never been more secure, excepting only the occasional slaughter of an innocent “Newly Arriving Refugee” by an out-of-control, racist Border Patrol Agent;
My “National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform” introduced several outstanding ideas, saving those that dealt with entitlements reform, spending cuts and other radical right-wing heresy;
Firing 165 missiles into Libya does not involve “hostilities,” thus, the War Powers Resolution does not apply;
Operation “Fast and Furious” was an appropriate under- the radar-project to keep guns out of the hands of dangerous, right-wing Americans by giving them to drug cartels in Mexico;
Adding 30 million people to the rolls of the insured will cut overall medical costs;
“Shared sacrifice” means assuring that higher taxes are imposed on the rich and on Big Oil in a somewhat fair and balanced manner;
Transparency is NOT a constitutional requirement for the president or his administration;
There is far too much loose money in American politics, which is why I intend to force my re-election campaign to survive on no more than $1 billion dollars, unless an emergency causes me to do otherwise.
There it is the Top Ten political fairy tales told by the most loosely-wrapped president in U.S. history!

Raising taxes will cost the economy jobs(Dec 2010); not raising taxes will cost the economy jobs (July 2011);
Borders between the U.S. and Mexico have never been more secure, excepting only the occasional slaughter of an innocent “Newly Arriving Refugee” by an out-of-control, racist Border Patrol Agent;
My “National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform” introduced several outstanding ideas, saving those that dealt with entitlements reform, spending cuts and other radical right-wing heresy;
Firing 165 missiles into Libya does not involve “hostilities,” thus, the War Powers Resolution does not apply;
Operation “Fast and Furious” was an appropriate under- the radar-project to keep guns out of the hands of dangerous, right-wing Americans by giving them to drug cartels in Mexico;
Adding 30 million people to the rolls of the insured will cut overall medical costs;
“Shared sacrifice” means assuring that higher taxes are imposed on the rich and on Big Oil in a somewhat fair and balanced manner;
Transparency is NOT a constitutional requirement for the president or his administration;
There is far too much loose money in American politics, which is why I intend to force my re-election campaign to survive on no more than $1 billion dollars, unless an emergency causes me to do otherwise.
There it is the Top Ten political fairy tales told by the most loosely-wrapped president in U.S. history!
America’s “completely compliant, pliant, supine press”
By John W. Lillpop
Dr. Charles Krauthammer’s daily comments and words of enlightenment should be mandatory reading/hearing in all American educational institutions, from day-care centers to post-graduate studies.
Krauthammer , a great American patriot, was recently engaged in a battle of wits with Nina Totenberg, the witless leftist who misrepresents the news for PBR.
The transcript from that epic battle is repeated at the reference and summarized below:
But NOT good enough for Dr. Krauthammer who is charmed by truth and integrity rather than double-talk and lies!

Dr. Charles Krauthammer’s daily comments and words of enlightenment should be mandatory reading/hearing in all American educational institutions, from day-care centers to post-graduate studies.
Krauthammer , a great American patriot, was recently engaged in a battle of wits with Nina Totenberg, the witless leftist who misrepresents the news for PBR.
The transcript from that epic battle is repeated at the reference and summarized below:
After claiming on PBS's "Inside Washington" that we now have a "completely compliant, pliant, supine press accepting every leak out of the White House," Charles Krauthammer silenced the entire panel by asking them to name one specific cut to entitlements the President has proposed .
CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER: [The President] talks a good game. “Oh, I’m prepared to do entitlements, I’m ready to do entitlements.” Not once has he ever enunciated in public - other than all these leaks which I don’t trust for half a second – one structural change in entitlements, and without that, everybody over the age of nine knows we are not going to get a handle on the debt. So let’s hear him say it in public once.
NINA TOTENBERG, NPR: So why is it when he offered the big deal, the $4 trillion deal…
GORDON PETERSON, HOST: The grand bargain.
TOTENBERG: …the grand bargain, Republicans backed away from it?
KRAUTHAMMER: When did he offer that?
TOTENBERG: He offered that last week.
KRAUTHAMMER: Where?
TOTENBERG: In, he did it, publicly and in negotiations.
KRAUTHAMMER: In your leaks? What’s in the $4 trillion?
TOTENBERG: But Charles.
KRAUTHAMMER: Give me a number. Explain to me what’s in it.
TOTENBERG: Why is it, in two, in matter of two days, Republicans backed away from that and said we don’t want it?
KRAUTHAMMER: You accept everything he says, a $4 trillion deal, if you don’t have a single item in it that you can enunciate.
TOTENBERG: Well, I’m not at the table. Perhaps you are, but I’m not.
KRAUTHAMMER: Well then how does he expect America to accept something in which he explains nothing?
TOTENBERG: He actually said I’m going to get heat from my own people.
Moments later when others on the panel continued with similar rhetoric concerning the President’s so-called plan to reduce entitlement spending, Krauthammer struck again:
KRAUTHAMMER: My colleagues are demonstrating a point I’ve been trying to make about how you have a completely compliant, pliant, supine press accepting every leak out of the White House. Tell me, we have been told, I’ve heard it again and again that the President’s prepared to do, to make cuts in entitlements. Name me one.
PETERSON: Charles, a complete and compliant supine press. I love that.
KRAUTHAMMER: Yeah.
PETERSON: Let’s move along.
KRAUTHAMMER: I’ve got, I’ve got other adjectives, but we’re short on time.
Once again, Krauthammer demonstrated a fabulous point.
For weeks the media have been telling Americans the President's big budget plan offered cuts in entitlements, but none of them can actually name what those cuts are.
Seems like that would be an important part of a report on spending cuts - specifically identifying what was going to be cut and by how much.
But that hasn't been important to the Obama-loving media during this debt ceiling debate.
If the President says his plan includes cuts to entitlements, that's good enough for them.”
But NOT good enough for Dr. Krauthammer who is charmed by truth and integrity rather than double-talk and lies!

Time to Name a Hurricane After Obama?
By John W. Lillpop
Sheila Lee Jackson made big news a few years ago when she complained that the names given to hurricanes excluded African-American monikers, a clear case of racial discrimination according to the loosely-wrapped moon bat from Texas.
Now SLJ is accusing Republicans of refusing to budge to the demands of President Barack Obama because—well, because BHO is black.
As reported at the reference, in part:
What IS different, Representative, is that THIS president has added more debt to the backs of taxpayers in three years than his predecessor did in eight years.
What IS different about this president is that, in the face of the nation’s $14 trillion plus deficit, he proposed to simply “freeze” spending at 2010 levels, rather than making a serious proposal.
What IS different about this president is that he voted against raising the debt-ceiling in 2006 when George W. Bush was president. At that time, The One said the following:
“The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies. … Increasing America’s debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that ‘the buck stops here. Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better.” …….. Senator Barack Obama”
So while it is impossible to agree with Sheila Lee Jackson and her outlandish illogic on this issue, here is a proposed compromise:
Let’s name a hurricane, earthquake, or other natural disaster after Obama and call it even!
What say ye, SJL?

As reported at the reference, in part:
Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) used the race card this afternoon to assess blame in the debt ceiling fight. Jackson Lee, a black Congresswoman, believes the disagreement over raising the debt ceiling is because of President Obama's race.
"I am particularly sensitive to the fact that only this president, only this president, only this one has received the kind attacks and disagreements and inability to work. Only this one," Jackson Lee said on the House floor this afternoon.
"Read between the lines."
"What is different about this president that should put him in a position that he should not receive the same kind of respectful treatment of when it is necessary to raise the debt limit in order to pay our bills, something required by both statute and the 14th amendment?"
What IS different, Representative, is that THIS president has added more debt to the backs of taxpayers in three years than his predecessor did in eight years.

Illegal Alien Invades Nuclear Power Plant in Arizona!
By John W. Lillpop
Cruz Loya Alvares is an uncommon illegal alien in that his invasion does not involve vineyards or fruit orchards or other low-technology gigs.
Rather, this illegal alien has slithered and lied his way into the high-technology world of nuclear power.
As reported, in part, at the reference:
Bleeding heart liberals like Obama and Napolitano will demand compassion for the invading criminal, contending that since Alvares has been here for 15 years, he should be allowed to stay—and granted citizenship to boot.
On the contrary, the fact that this cretin has been in America in defiance of our laws for so long should require that his punishment be all the more severe.
Deport this criminal immediately, after seizing any and all assets he may have which should be used to pay accumulated fines and penalties.

Cruz Loya Alvares is an uncommon illegal alien in that his invasion does not involve vineyards or fruit orchards or other low-technology gigs.
Rather, this illegal alien has slithered and lied his way into the high-technology world of nuclear power.
As reported, in part, at the reference:
PHOENIX - Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio's deputies arrested an illegal immigrant working inside the Palo Verde Nuclear Plant, the nation's largest nuclear plant and one of the most closely monitored in the country.
Cruz Loya Alvares was taken into custody by Sheriff Deputies Wednesday and interrogated by the Sheriff's Human Smuggling detectives.
Deputies determined that the worker is, in fact, here illegally. Cruz admitted he has been in the U.S. illegally for most of the past 15 years. He was detained and deported in 2000 but paid a coyote for re-entry into the U.S. And last month, Cruz admitted that in June 2011, Mesa Police cited him for driving with a suspended license.
According to Sheriff Arpaio, Cruz tried to gain access to the Nuclear power plant on Monday but was denied entrance because his Mexican Driver's license was expired.
He then returned on Tuesday, this time as a passenger in a contractor's vehicle. Cruz presented an Arizona Identification card and was permitted into the facility. When plant authorities more carefully examined the card some time later, officials thought it may be illegitimate and contacted the Sheriff's Office.”

Why the GOP MUST Call Obama’s Bluff!
By John W. Lillpop
Republicans, notwithstanding their differing views on strategy and tactics, are on the cusp of a historic victory over irresponsible deficit spending and big government tyranny.
However, in order to save America from financial ruin, conservatives MUST call Obama’s bluff and do so in a manner that gives the President a face-saving “out.”
The key is recognizing the huge emotional impact of Obama’s fear-mongering threat against social security.
Remember this vital truth: Social Security is the Holy Grail of the Democrat Party.
NOTHING is more sacred to the left than pumping out those benefit checks every month!
Obama will NEVER aid or abet in preventing checks from being delivered as scheduled in August.
Call Obama’s bluff—and watch him scramble for his political life. In short order, the president will be in Speaker Boehener’s office begging for an “out” of his social security crisis.
Republicans will then be in a position to really tackle the deficit without worrying about the taxes mantra.
When the victory is sealed, Republicans must not chortle nor delight publicly about defeating the One.
Rather, Obama must be allowed a respectable out which he can parlay into the Democrat votes needed to pass the House and Senate.
March forward, Republicans, and call the Obama bluff. Then celebrate victory with respect and decorum.
Brown Turns Golden State Pink!
By John W. Lillpop
California Governor Jerry Brown, a Democrat, signed a law which requires public schools in the Golden State to teach gay history.
Thus continues the never-ending attack by liberals on traditional family values and religious faith.
As reported at the link, in part, in signing the bill, Brown stated that history should be “honest”:
With one stroke of his pen, Governor Brown managed to offend faithful practitioners of all major religions and a large percentage of California voters, including large numbers of black and Hispanic voters.
The big question: Just how “honest” will liberals be in compiling the educational text? How honest will they be with respect to HIV and other predominately gay disease?

Thus continues the never-ending attack by liberals on traditional family values and religious faith.
As reported at the link, in part, in signing the bill, Brown stated that history should be “honest”:
Los Angeles (CNN) -- Democratic California Gov. Jerry Brown said Thursday he had signed a bill that will require public schools in the state to teach students about the contributions of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Americans.
The bill, believed to be the first of its kind in the nation, will also require teachers to provide instruction on the role of people with disabilities.
"History should be honest," Brown said in a statement.
"This bill revises existing laws that prohibit discrimination in education and ensures that the important contributions of Americans from all backgrounds and walks of life are included in our history books. It represents an important step forward for our state, and I thank Senator Leno for his hard work on this historic legislation."
The governor was referring to the bill's author, Sen. Mark Leno, a San Francisco Democrat.”
With one stroke of his pen, Governor Brown managed to offend faithful practitioners of all major religions and a large percentage of California voters, including large numbers of black and Hispanic voters.

Exposed! Obama Brutal Vendetta Against Fox News, 1st Amendment
By John W. Lillpop
Thanks to professionals at Judicial Watch, the truth has finally come out with respect to Barack Obama’s brutal assault on Fox News, an injustice which the administration continuously lied about
As reported at judicialwatch.org, in part:
Surely, Richard M. Nixon would be impressed by the Obama gangsta machinery—it makes Nixon’s plumbers look like rank amateurs!
Thanks to professionals at Judicial Watch, the truth has finally come out with respect to Barack Obama’s brutal assault on Fox News, an injustice which the administration continuously lied about
As reported at judicialwatch.org, in part:
Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, announced today that it has uncovered documents from the Obama Department of Treasury showing that the Obama administration, contrary to its repeated denials, attempted to exclude the Fox News Channel (FNC) from a round of interviews with Treasury’s “Executive Pay Czar” Kenneth Feinberg. The documents, which include email exchanges within the Department of the Treasury and between Treasury and White House staff, also provide colorful evidence of an anti-Fox News bias within the Obama White House.Troubling First Amendment implications? Does Mr. Fitton not realize that Freedom of the Press simply does apply when the “smartest man in the universe” wants to black ball an enemy?
The documents, obtained last week by Judicial Watch pursuant to an October, 28, 2009, Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, concern a series of interviews with Feinberg, who served as the Special Master for the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) Executive Compensation, on October 22, 2009, organized by the Treasury Department. According to press reports, the Fox News Channel was specifically excluded from joining the pool of reporters which precipitated a backlash among the networks and a reversal by the Obama Treasury Department.
According to The New York Times: “Fox’s television news competitors refused to go along with a Treasury Department effort on Thursday [October 22, 2009] to exclude Fox from a round of interviews with the executive-pay czar Kenneth R. Feinberg that was to be conducted with a ‘pool’ camera crew…”. Fox News Channel’s James Rosen reported this backlash forced the Obama administration to reconsider its position on the matter: “The Washington bureau chiefs of the five TV news network consulted and decided that none of them would interview Feinberg unless Fox was included, and the administration relented…,” reported Rosen. Ultimately, after other media representatives objected, Fox News Channel was allowed to participate in the interviews.
The Treasury Department’s official response, as detailed in back-and-forth emails uncovered by Judicial Watch, included a clear denial of any such plot to exclude Fox News from the interviews:
“There was no plot to exclude Fox News, and they had the same interview that their competitors did. Much ado about absolutely nothing.” Moreover, in an October 23, 2009 email to New York Times reporter Jim Rutenberg, Jake Siewart, Counselor to Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, repeated the denial that there was an effort to exclude Fox News Channel: “Call me today on your Fox-Treasury report,” Siewart wrote. “Not true that there was an ‘effort to exclude’ Fox.”
However, despite this public position, internal Obama administration emails obtained by Judicial Watch provide evidence that FNC was specifically singled out for exclusion.
According to one October 22, 2009, email exchange between Dag Vega, Director of Broadcast Media on the White House staff, to Jenni LeCompte, then-Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs in the Treasury Department, Vega informs LeCompte that “…we’d prefer if you skip Fox please.”
Regarding general anti-FNC bias within the Obama White House in an October 23, 2009, email exchange between Jennifer Psaki, Deputy White House Communications Director and LeCompte, Psaki writes, “I am putting some dead fish in the fox cubby – just cause”. In an email on the night of October 22, 2009, commenting on a report by Fox News Channel anchor Bret Baier noting the exclusion of the network from the pool, Psaki writes to Compte and fellow White House colleagues, “…brett baier just did a stupid piece on it -- but he is a lunatic”.
Deputy White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest bluntly described the White House’s position on Fox News Channel in an October 23, 2009, email to LeCompte: “We’ve demonstrated our willingness and ability to exclude Fox News from significant interviews…”
The Treasury Department blacked out a key email regarding its refusal to make available Treasury Secretary Geithner for an interview on Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace.
“The Obama administration seems to have lied about its attempt to exclude Fox News Channel from access to an interview with the ‘pay czar.’ These documents show there is a pervasive anti-Fox bias in the Obama White House,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “The juvenile Mafioso-talk in these emails has no place in any White House. For the Obama administration to purposely exclude a major news organization from access to information has troubling First Amendment implications.”
Surely, Richard M. Nixon would be impressed by the Obama gangsta machinery—it makes Nixon’s plumbers look like rank amateurs!
Obama Needs to Listen to His Representative in Congress AND Follow Lead of Minnesota Governor
By John W. Lillpop
President Obama is getting plenty of free tutelage these days from both sides of the political spectrum concerning his infantile, hussy-fit approach to solving the debt-ceiling crisis.
The first pearl of wisdom comes from Joe Walsh, who just happens to be the U.S. Representative for the North Suburban neighborhood of Chicago.
Walsh tells Obama: “quit lying” which is about as forthright as one can get.
Meanwhile, in the great state of Minnesota, Governor Mark Dayton has stepped up and exerted leadership in order to end the government shutdown in that state.
As reported, in part, at Reference 2:
ST. PAUL, Minn. (FOX 9) - Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton and Republican
Now THAT is a selfless politician doing what is best for the people, rather than storming out of negotiations and crying “enough is enough.”
Joe Walsh and Mark Dayton: Showing the way for a community organizer stuck in the quagmire of his own ego and press clippings.
Listen and learn, President Obama!

President Obama is getting plenty of free tutelage these days from both sides of the political spectrum concerning his infantile, hussy-fit approach to solving the debt-ceiling crisis.
The first pearl of wisdom comes from Joe Walsh, who just happens to be the U.S. Representative for the North Suburban neighborhood of Chicago.
Walsh tells Obama: “quit lying” which is about as forthright as one can get.
The Walsh message is described in part below and is seen at the You Tube link in reference one:
CHICAGO (CBS) – North suburban Republican Congressman Joe Walsh has a new YouTube video on his website – where he tells President Barack Obama to “quit lying” about the impact of not raising the national debt ceiling by Aug. 2.
In a nearly three-minute video released Wednesday, Walsh says, “President Obama, quit lying.” He claims there is plenty of money to pay federal debts and cover the costs of social security benefits, even if the debt ceiling isn’t raised by the deadline.
Obama has said the nation will default if Congress doesn’t raise the national debt ceiling to $14.3 trillion by Aug. 2. The president told CBS Evening News anchor Scott Pelley that he could not guarantee that Social Security checks would go out next month if a deal on the debt wasn’t reached.
Walsh says that’s not true, but Republican leaders don’t dispute it. However, they have disagreed with the White House on the best way to make up for more borrowing. The president wants to raise taxes on the wealthy , but Republicans favor major cuts in spending.”
Meanwhile, in the great state of Minnesota, Governor Mark Dayton has stepped up and exerted leadership in order to end the government shutdown in that state.
As reported, in part, at Reference 2:
ST. PAUL, Minn. (FOX 9) - Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton and Republican
leaders are returning to budget talks, with a 2 p.m. meeting in Dayton’s office.
The meeting comes after the governor sent a letter Thursday morning to House Speaker Kurt Zellers and Senate Majority Leader Amy Koch, saying he "reluctantly" agrees to accept the Republican budget proposal from June 30 if it will end the government shutdown .
“Despite my serious reservations about your plan, I have concluded that continuing the state government shutdown would be even more destructive for too many Minnesotans,” Dayton wrote in the letter.
“Therefore, I am willing to agree to something I do not agree with – your proposal – in order to spare our citizens and our state from further damage.”
Dayton said accepting the offer, with conditions, would bridge a $1.4 billion gap between him and the Republican leadership without any more drastic cuts to essential services.
"If this gets resolved and gets Minnesota back to work in the next few days, then it doesn't matter what people say about me,” Dayton said.”
Now THAT is a selfless politician doing what is best for the people, rather than storming out of negotiations and crying “enough is enough.”
Joe Walsh and Mark Dayton: Showing the way for a community organizer stuck in the quagmire of his own ego and press clippings.

Obama’s Legendary “Cool” Goes Missing in Debt-Ceiling Walk Out
By John W. Lillpop
For one just about old enough to join AARP, President Obama is acting like a two-year whose favorite teething toy has been appropriated by a new born unwelcome sister.
As reported in part, at the link:
Tensions boiled over Wednesday, when Obama heatedly rejected Republican House Majority Leader Eric Cantor's push for a short-term deal anchored on spending cuts, according to key Republican and Democratic aides.
Obama said he would veto such a stopgap measure, warned Cantor "don't call my bluff," and declared himself ready to take his case to US voters, said aides on both sides, who described the events on condition of anonymity.
Republican aides described Obama as storming out of the meeting in a huff, while their Democratic counterparts said that the presidential rebuke left Cantor chastised and speechless.
"I've reached my limit. This may bring my presidency down, but I will not yield on this," Obama said, according to a Republican aide.
The president's message was "enough posturing," said a Democratic aide, who said Obama did not storm out but left because the meeting had ended.
An aide to Republican House Speaker John Boehner later signaled that the lawmaker was prepared to accept a short-term deal in which spending cuts outweighed the debt limit increase and tax hikes were off the table.”
Note that the arrogant, self-consumed Obama sees the worse case scenario as something that might “bring my presidency down.”
As usual, it is always about Obama. What about the devastation that would be visited upon 300 million Americans? What about the effect on the global economy?
None of that matters to Barack Obama. Its all about his super-inflated ego and the shame of being forced to do something right for a change.
To hell with your presidency, sir. Your incompetence and inability to see the truth has already rendered your presidency a colossal failure not worth saving!

Michelle Had a Burger, Fries & Shake for Lunch. So What?
By John W. Lillpop
So, America’s Queen of Food Safety, the girth-bound Michelle Obama, strayed from her diet of fresh garden veggies and other really boring eats and instead ate like a real American for a change!
It ain’t much, but it is a start toward converting the FLOTUS from celery sticks, spinach and other communist foods to red-blooded American burgers, fries, and shakes!
As reported at the reference, in part:
As Joe Biden would say, “This is a Big F****ing Deal!”
NOT!
Who in the hell cares what Michelle Obama eats and how much?
Good heavens, given the fact that she is betrothed to a pathological liar with an ego the size of that Shake Shack, it is a wonder that the woman does not gulp down 6,000-8000 calories a day—for lunch alone!

Obama’s Social Security “Threat”--More Romper Room Rhetoric!

As August 2 draws ever closer, President Obama has resorted to even larger and more despicable lies. Now he is threatening seniors that social security checks may not go out if the debt ceiling is not increased by August 2.
As reported by financial wizard Greg Hunter at the reference, in part, that is simply not true:

As August 2 draws ever closer, President Obama has resorted to even larger and more despicable lies. Now he is threatening seniors that social security checks may not go out if the debt ceiling is not increased by August 2.
As reported by financial wizard Greg Hunter at the reference, in part, that is simply not true:
The gloves came off in the fight over raising the debt ceiling yesterday. On CBS News, the President basically threatened to cut off Social Security checks by August 3rd if a deal was not reached. Mr. Obama said to veteran newsman Scott Pelly, “I cannot guarantee that those checks go out on August 3rd if we haven’t resolved this issue, because there may simply not be the money in the coffers to do it.”Rather than wasting time with silly fear mongering, Obama and the Democrats need to be working with Republicans to cut $4 trillion in spending—without raising taxes!
What? So, the President admitted there is no money in the Social Security Trust Fund? Why in heck didn’t Mr. Pelly call the President on this???!!! Is it because Pelly is afraid he will never get another Presidential interview? I don’t know if the President really believes this, but it looks like a political scare tactic to me.
What I do know is the President’s statement is simply not true! According to Social Security, the Trust Fund holds something called “special issues.” Here’s what the government’s own website says, “Unlike marketable securities, special issues can be redeemed at any time at face value. Marketable securities are subject to the forces of the open market and may suffer a loss, or enjoy a gain, if sold before maturity. Investment in special issues gives the trust funds the same flexibility as holding cash.
Did you get that? What Social Security holds is the same as “holding cash!” Threatening to cut off funds to seniors and the disabled is more political theater than budgetary fact. It is also a clear sign the budget ceiling fight has turned ugly.
I think making political threats like this is a big mistake by the President. This could harm the idea of “full faith and credit” of the U.S. even if a deal is reached in time to make the August 2nd deadline. Hardline politics on both sides could make consumers of our debt run like hell. The President should be reassuring Treasury holders.
Instead, the President is not just scaring seniors, but also buyers of our debt. Why would anyone want to go through this kind of drama every year? Wouldn’t you be looking for fixed income investments someplace else? That’s what the biggest bond fund in the world (PIMCO) is doing. Also, every time the debt ceiling is raised (and there will be more in the future), this further devalues the dollar. In short, I think U.S. debt is already damaged goods. Treasury buyers might impose a real debt ceiling and stop buying altogether. Some countries have recently done just that.”
Just do it, 'Bama!

PLAY BALL! Not Race Politics, at All-Star Game in Arizona!
By John W. Lillpop
Under the morally-bankrupt guidance of Jesse Jackson and the La Raza crowd, baseball fans have been urged to forego the traditional celebration of the mid-summer classic, AKA, the All Star game, in favor of protesting a law passed to protect American citizens from the ravages of illegal aliens.
Jackson and La Raza, the Hispanic version of the KKK, are in a snit because the 2011 All Star game will be played at Chase Field in Phoenix, Arizona, that “racist” state that passed SB 1070 to protect citizens, regardless of race, color or national origin, from illegal aliens, most of whom come here illegally via Mexico.
As reported at the reference, Jackson carried the Racism pennant to the ball players in a feeble attempt to demean and politicize the national past time:
“PHOENIX (AP) — The Rev. Jesse Jackson is urging baseball's All-Stars to speak out against the Arizona immigration law, saying they should follow the example set by Jackie Robinson when he broke the game's color barrier more than a half-century ago.
The sport's national spotlight returned this week to the Sonoran Desert for the first time since Luis Gonzalez's ninth-inning single off Mariano Rivera won Game 7 of the 2001 World Series for the Diamondbacks, landing the All-Stars — those who didn't drop out — in the hot debate over the law known as SB 1070.
Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig ignored calls by some to move Tuesday's game.”
Thankfully, Jackson’s tired, old race-baiting message has failed to resonate as most players are simply ignoring the rhetoric issued by the so-called reverend and the equally un-American La Raza.
Let the message go forth, loud and clear: PLAY BALL, Not Race Politics!
