Obama’s Failed “Reset” Initiative Leaves Russian Children Without Hope!



By John W. Lillpop


Another devastating policy failure by Barack Obama made the news recently. In the latest Obama fiasco, the promised “reset” of US relations with Russia has failed utterly, leaving thousands of Russian orphan children in the lurch, and denying hundreds of American families the opportunity to adopt orphans in need of good homes.

As reported at the reference:


Russian President Vladimir Putin signed into law on Friday a measure that bans the adoption the Russian children by U.S. families effective January 1.

The action could affect hundreds of U.S. families seeking to adopt. Americans adopted close to 1,000 Russian children last year, according to U.S. State Department figures.

Though the number has been dropping in recent years, Russia remains the third-most-popular country -- after China and Ethiopia -- for U.S. citizens to adopt.

The U.S. State Department said it "deeply regrets" the law announced by the Kremlin.

"The Russian government's politically motivated decision will reduce adoption possibilities for children who are now under institutional care," it said in a statement. "We are further concerned about statements that adoptions already underway may be stopped and hope that the Russian government would allow those children who have already met and bonded with their future parent to finish the necessary legal procedures so that they can join their families."

The announcement was a wrenching one for Aaron and Jenny Moyer, coming in an adoption process that was well under way for them to become parents of a Russian orphan named Vitali. They carry photographs of them and Vitali together during their visits to Russia.

"He's our son," Aaron Moyer said. "In our hearts, he is our son."

The couple, who have two biological children and one adopted American child, said they are relying on their faith to see them through the uncertainty.

"We want not just our son, but all the kids over there to have families and to grow up and know the love of a mom and dad," Aaron Moyer said.

The Russian measure also bars any political activities by non-governmental organizations receiving funding from the United States, if such activities could affect Russian interests, Russia's semiofficial RIA-Novosti news agency said.

And it imposes sanctions against U.S. officials thought to have violated human rights.”

Good heavens, it appears as though Obama’s reset scheme is driving US-Russian relations back to the cold war era!

This is yet another reason why the American people must not elect—or reelect—naïve, inexperienced, clueless community organizers to high public office!

French Supreme Court Rules “Millionaire- Tax” Unconstitutional! Can Obama Learn from Hollande’s Blunder?




By John W. Lillpop

Who said the frogs are a nation of socialist wimps, so pathetically to the left as to be pitied rather than emulated??

At least when it comes to France’s  Supreme Court, there is a hint that common sense and fairness are still alive (barely) and tolerated.

As reported at the reference, this is so because the high court has shot down the anti-success, discriminatory, unequal, punitive tax which is the hallmark of the tyrant Hollande :


President Francois Hollande’s 75 percent millionaire-tax is unconstitutional because it doesn’t guarantee equality for taxpayers.

Hollande’s plan would have added extra levies of 18 percent on individuals’ incomes of more than 1 million euros ($1.32 million), while regular income taxes and a 4 percent exceptional contribution for high earners would have been based on household income, the court said today in an e-mailed statement. 
         As a result, two households with the same total revenue could end up paying different rates                depending     on how earnings are divided among members of those households, which runs counter to a rule of equal tax treatment, the Paris-based court said.
The tax, one of Hollande’s campaign promises, had become a focal point of discontent among entrepreneurs and other wealth creators, some of whom have quit French shores as a result. Movie star Gerard Depardieu, 64, said he was leaving France “because you consider success, creativity, talent, anything different are grounds for sanction.”

“Politically, this has an impact because it was a symbol for French public opinion, and was considered abroad as the emblem of French tax excess, of French tax hell,” said Dominique Barbet, senior economist at BNP Paribas SA in Paris. “In deficit terms, it’s truly negligible.”

Might the French experience provide a teaching opportunity for Barack Obama and his Marxist pals in Congress?

Or is America doomed to replicate the idiotic mistakes of Hollande?

The sad fact is that Barack Obama is so consumed with hatred and a desire for revenge against those who have achieved success that America may be forced to repeat Hollande’s misjudgment..

Christian Firm to Honor Religious Beliefs, Defy Unconstitutional Dictates of ObamaCare!




By John W. Lillpop


When it comes to cow-towing to the evil excesses of ObamaCare, a private company called Hobby Lobby is refusing to buckle to the religious busting abuses of the Obama administration!

As reported at the Reference:



Hobby Lobby and religious book-seller Mardel Inc., which are owned by the same conservative Christian family, are suing to block part of the federal health care law that requires employee health-care plans to provide insurance coverage for the morning-after pill and similar emergency contraception pills.


The companies claim the mandate violates the religious beliefs of their owners. They say the morning-after pill is tantamount to abortion because it can prevent a fertilized egg from becoming implanted in a woman's womb.


On Wednesday, Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor denied the companies' request for an injunction while their lawsuit is pending, saying the stores failed to satisfy the demanding legal standard for blocking the requirement on an emergency basis. She said the companies may still challenge the regulations in the lower courts.

Kyle Duncan, who is representing Hobby Lobby on behalf of the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, said in a statement posted on the group's web site Thursday that Hobby Lobby doesn't intend to offer its employees insurance that would cover the drug while its lawsuit is pending.

"The company will continue to provide health insurance to all qualified employees," Duncan said. "To remain true to their faith, it is not their intention, as a company, to pay for abortion-inducing drugs."


Hooray for Hobby Lobby, —and may their stand on principle be rewarded with a favorable final ruling in the courts!

Top 10 Reasons Why Liberals Hate Christmas



Satire by John W. Lillpop





Most liberals hate Christmas for the following reasons:



The real messiah was born 1961 years after Christ in a mud hut somewhere in a Kenyan village just a few thousand miles outside of Honolulu;

Christians cannot produce a valid birth certificate for Jesus Christ; therefore, He is not, has never been, and never will be, eligible to serve as president or messiah;

Turning water into wine is nothing compared to Obama’s ability to turn paper (dollar bill) into precious metal (silver dime);

Nativity scenes are offensive because Joseph and Mary were not married;

Singing Christmas carols in public is not protected free speech because none of the founding fathers were exposed to Silent Night, O Little Town of Bethlehem, or any other of the violent anti-Muslim lyrics so popular these days;

Biblical accounts concerning the birth of Jesus are clearly flawed because there were not so many as three wise men in all of the Middle East back in those days, and continuing to this day;

Christmas trees are bad for the environment, are a serious violation of separation of Church and state, and piss off both Muslims and Jews;

Tolerance is essential, except when it comes to gap-toothed, Bible thumping red necks who actually believe that a baby Jew was born to a virgin just to save the world;

Children should be protected from Christmas nonsense like Santa Claus and his elves, whereas teaching the young about Obama and his minions in Congress is an essential part of a quality education


There you go: Liberal insanity at it best at Christmas!

While Obama Works on Behalf on Illegal Invaders, US War Hero Rots in Mexican Prison!



By John W. Lillpop



President Barack Obama has gone above and beyond the call of duty when it comes to shielding illegal invaders in America from justice and the rule of law. Our defiant, anti-rule of law president has refused to secure the US border with third-world Mexico and has prevented existing laws regarding deportations from being applied to hundreds of thousands of illegals—mostly Hispanics—all for the purpose of adding bodies, regardless of how corrupt and dangerous, to the ranks and files of the Democrat Party.

Obama’s outrageous habit of favoring foreign illegal aliens over US citizens is all the more hideous given his inaction with regard to a US war hero who is caught up in the corruption and sleaze of Mexico’s prison and political system.

The victim is American war hero Jon Hammer, a US Marine, who has been imprisoned for four months on a disputed weapons charge.

As reported at the reference, mindless Mexican authorities are dashing hopes that Jon Hammer might be able to return to America in time to spend Christmas with his family:

Any hope that Jon Hammar, the Marine imprisoned in Mexico on a disputed gun charge, might be freed in time for Christmas has apparently been dashed by a terse letter a top Mexican diplomat sent to Hammar’s congresswoman.
The two-page missive from Mexican Ambassador to the United States Arturo Sarukhan to Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-Fla.), who has been aggressively advocating for Hammar's release, leaves little hope of a diplomatic solution.

In it, Sarukhan takes a thinly veiled swipe at the U.S., blaming it for gun proliferation south of the border.

"Mexico has had very stringent gun-control laws in place for many years, and have reinforced their application as a result of the flow of weapons illicitly purchased in the U.S. and then trafficked into Mexico and into the hands of Transnational criminal Organizations, " wrote the loco ambassador.

Hammar has been stuck in a notorious, drug cartel-controlled prison just 15 miles south of the U.S. border since Aug. 13, after he crossed into Mexico and declared an antique shotgun to Mexican customs officials.

Sarukhan failed to mention that Tamaulipas, the state which the CEDES prison in Matamoros is located, is controlled by the Los Zetas Cartel, arguably the most vicious of the cartels.

Hammar’s father said the letter is fraught with statements at odds with what he knows and what his son has told him.

"There are huge inaccuracies about what is happening in their system," Jon Hammar Sr., said.


Sarukhan said Hammar was arrested for possession of a weapon that, according to Mexican law, is restricted for the exclusive use of the Mexican Armed Forces.

But high-ranking Mexican military officials have told Hammar's attorney, Eddie Varon-Levy, that the gun Hammar tried to declare shortly after crossing into Mexico on his way to Costa Rica is not the type of firearm the laws are meant to block. The gun Hammar claims he also declared to U.S. Customs and border protection is a .410 gauge antique Sears Roebuck shotgun.

But Mexico’s top diplomat to the U.S. said the letter of the law must be followed.

"Regardless of what he may have declared or stated to CBP agents and then to Mexican Customs authorities, the sole introduction or possession of this type of weapon (not withstanding its intended use or year of manufacture) in Mexican territory constitutes a federal crime in Mexico and is not subject to any prosecutorial (sic) discretion," Sarukhan said.

Varon-Levy disagreed, saying no one can make the argument the antique, small-gauge shotgun is anything resembling a military weapon. He said the prosecutor and his team can't even agree on specifics of the rifle.

Perhaps the biggest bone of contention Hammar’s family and legal team have with Sarukhan is the ambassador’s pledge that Hammar will be held “in conditions that ensure his well-being and his rights." Already, Hammar, who suffers post-traumatic stress disorder from his service in Iraq and Afghanistan, has been denied an interpreter at court appearances, had his life threatened and has been chained to a steel bed.

Two days after his arrest, Hammar's parents received a midnight extortion attempt by a male caller who said he “owned” the prison, giving credence to speculation that the criminal elements control CEDES prison.

The ambassador also neglected to appreciate the Nov. 23 incident where Hammar was brought to court before the judge -- there are no jury trials in Mexico -- and asked to plea without his lawyer or even the arresting customs agent present.

Sarukhan claims in the letter that, had Hammar pleaded guilty at a Nov. 23 appearance, he would have likely been released. But Varon-Levy said his client was brought before a judge with no attorney present and no way of understanding what was happening. And despite Sarukhan’s claim, conviction on the charge carries a potential penalty of 15 years in prison.

In his letter, Sarukhan alluded to the fact there will be no wiggle room for negotiation and that Hammar is going trial.

"This circumstance requires that he remain under detention during the duration of his trial," Sarukhan said.

A trial date is set for Jan. 17.”

Someone should remind Sarukhan, the Mexican vermin, that in the neighborhood of 20 million invading aliens from Mexico are squatting in America, all of whom are in violation of US laws and should be unceremoniously rounded up and shipped back to Mexico.

Someone also needs to tell Barack Obama to drop his drive to repopulate America with illegal foreign aliens and to take up the case of Jon Hammar immediately!

After all, Barack, you do have leverage! Indeed, if Hammar is not back in America by Christmas eve, the United States should cut off all foreign aid to Mexico and immediately begin the process of removing all Mexican illegal aliens from our midst!

Helping a US war hero escape the clutches of third-world Mexico is one hell of a lot more reasonable than working for those who violate our borders and immigration laws and cost American taxpayers $110 billion a year.

Most of all, springing Hammar from Mexico is “the right thing to do!” Mr. President!
Just "man up" and do it!

BREAKING NEWS: Morbid Obesity (Being Fat) Can SAVE Your Life!

By John W. Lillpop



Just in time for Christmas, comes great news!

Despite all of the dire warnings about how being fat can fill your days with diabetes, heart disease, elevated blood pressure and other life-threatening ailments, there IS a bright side to weighing over 450 pounds!

In fact, it can save your bloody life!

As reported at the reference, Ronald Post was supposed to be sent to the next life with an assist from the state of Ohio on January 16, 2012 as recompense for a murder her committed in 1983.

However, Post argued that his 450-480 pounds should exempt him from the guillotine and the “imposition of a cruel and unusual” penalty which the 8th Amendment forbids.
His story:


"In 1983, (Ronald Post) was found guilty in the murder of motel clerk Helen Vantz. He was supposed to die on Jan. 16, 2013.

But on Monday, Post was spared by Ohio Gov. John Kasich, who decided Post had poor legal representation during his initial trial, the Associated Press reports.

Post's case gained notoriety after his new legal team had argued his death would be cruel and unusual punishment.

Post is between 450 and 480 pounds — a weight that his attorneys reportedly argued would amount to "a torturous and lingering death" if Post was subjected to lethal injection. (If executioners couldn't find a vein, they'd have to inject the drugs straight into Post's muscle.)

The parole board's recommendation to the Governor apparently came after a 5-3 vote. Post will now serve life in prison.”


Asked to comment after learning that he had been spared, the perpetually-ravenous Post lamented the loss of the “last meal” he would have enjoyed on the eve of his demise.

Apparently, America’s entitlement mentality affects everyone and some people can never be satisfied!

Got Christmas Spirit? How Can You Be Sure?



















 

 
By John W. Lillpop

Being in the "Christmas Spirit" is a very serious civic responsibility not to be dismissed or taken lightly.

Although it is probably not specifically mandated by the U.S. Constitution, being in the "Spirit" is nearly as important as voting, paying taxes, and enjoying baseball, hot dogs, apple pie, and Toyota.

Denying the events of 9/11 is about the only offense that can compare to not being in the Spirit. Evading income taxes is a much less serious crime.

But just what exactly does it mean? Some claim that the condition is contagious, that it can be caught by being around young children, or hanging with adults who have caught "it."

From personal experience, I have learned that it is a fairly safe bet that I have been Spirit-smitten when I catch myself engaged in any of the following:

Watching the two classic (old school) renditions of "A Christmas Carol" and Jimmy Stewart's " It's a Wonderful Life " for the 7,903rd time each, seated comfortably next to a crackling, politically incorrect fireplace fire.

Listening to Bing Crosby's "I'm Dreaming of A White Christmas," without a single thought about racism, slavery, reparations or Eric Holder.

Dropping all the loose change from my pockets into the Salvation Army kettle--after confirming that the attending Santa-dude speaks English!

Applying for a refinance of my Home Equity Line of Credit to consolidate the massive debt accumulated this Christmas with unpaid bills from last Christmas and several Christmases before that.

Visiting with sisters and brothers, aunts and uncles, nieces and nephews, and in- laws and outlaws of every stripe and persuasion. Once again, giving thanks that Christmas comes but once a year!

Enjoying "Polar Express," "Santa Clause" and other contemporary films about Christmas from a secular perspective.

Watching Christmas Eve services from Rome where the pope prays for peace and gives thanks for the birth of the Christ Child. Viewed on my 52" plasma television with High Definition, which was purchased last Christmas and which is about to be refinanced in that Home Equity loan redo

Driving through upper middle-class neighborhoods in Silicon Valley at night to witness the spectacular lights and decorations and even music. Explaining to my bigoted in-law that homes in the "rich" part of town are mostly dark and quiet because of energy conservation, not because nearly all wealthy property owners are Jewish.

Adding the obligatory poundage and girth while experiencing seasonal gout symptoms, owing to a eating frenzy not seen in years by my personal physician, dentist, or life insurance agent.

Debating whether or not my $25 gift for the office Christmas party is tax deductible as a business expense, and for how much. Should I add $10 for the three hours it took me to wrap the damned thing?

Listening to "Merry Christmas" by Nat King Cole and all of the other classics as performed by Henry Mancini and the Boston Pops. Also, Gene Autry's "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer," Elvis Presley's "Blue Christmas," and Brenda Lee's "Rocking Around the Christmas Tree."

Attending a Christmas Eve midnight service. Giving praise when the church roof does not cave in on the occasion of my entry.

Breaking all food and drink resolutions hundreds of times over in a fortnight of debauchery and decadence. Vowing to do better in the New Year, just like I did last year at this time.

Watching small toddlers react to the bright lights, trees, and resounding joy.

Helping an older gentleman or lady cross a busy street, and wishing them a Merry Christmas

Watching the joy and excitement of youngsters as they wait to sit on Santa's lap and make known their demands for Christmas Eve.

Shouting Merry Christmas! at a stranger in the mall and celebrating the Merry Christmas! shouted back!

And so it is indeed the season to be jolly!
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!

Where's the Beef? Lastest USDA Action Puts More on Plates of Children!






By John W. Lillpop



Michele Obama’s ruthless attempt to seize fascist control over the menus and dietary habits of American school children took a severe hit when the US Department of Agriculture(USDA) heeded the pleas of starving students who protested the anti-meat malarkey pushed by the other communist occupying the White House.

As reported at the reference:

U.S. regulators dealt a blow to First Lady Michelle Obama's anti-childhood obesity campaign by announcing they are relaxing school meal rules.

Mrs. Obama had supported new rules that would restrict calories and limit portion sizes in school meals but some students, parents and lawmakers complained that new stricter policies left many children hungry.

Under the adjustment, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said it would suspend daily and weekly maximum amounts for grains and meat or meat alternatives. That means school districts this year can serve larger portions of those items without penalty.

USDA officials said late on Friday they were loosening the regulations after some schools found it difficult to buy alternative portion sizes of such foods from suppliers. Some also said they had inventory to use up that does not meet the new guidelines.”

Most of all, food experts found that growing children NEED meat and should not be starved just to inflate the out- of- control ego of an unelected leftist with way too much time on her chubby hands!

So, bring on the beef, and to heck with “Michelle Care”!

Ready for 2016? Bah, Humbug!



By John W. Lillpop


With all due respect and best wishes for a Merry Christmas to all, Christian and heathen alike, I am simply too spent, emotionally and mentally, to even think about ANOTHER presidential election!

And yet I am already receiving emails from politicians and fund raisers looking to get an early start on 2016!

2016?

Good heavens, mate, I am still in disbelief that our nation reelected a man whose loathing of business and capitalism has trapped the nation in non-ending recession, a permanent unemployment crises, and devastating debt!

Just what the hell did so many Americans find compelling about a president who wantonly trampled the US Constitution, circumvented Congress, committed high crimes and misdemeanors that clearly justify his removal from office, led the nation into bankruptcy with insane liberal policies which have never worked anywhere, "evolved" into a sympathizer of gay marriage, just in time to court the homosexual demographic for the election, and ridiculed the values and traditions of the greatest society in human history?

A man with no known history of actually contributing to the betterment of society?

Why would anyone BUT a crazed entitlement addict with a genetic aversion to honest work of any kind vote for a man who hates America and is enraged by the very notion that America is a beacon of Exceptionalism?

What the hell has happened to America?

The only hope seems to be that December 21 will bring the doom and gloom promised by the Mayans, thereby ending the Obama curse.

Therefore, until at least December 22, do NOT ask me about 2016!


2016? Bah, hum bug!

Blessings Worthy of Thanksgiving!


By John W. Lillpop



Given the results of the November 6 elections, some Conservatives may find it difficult to conjure up much to be thankful for this holiday.

After all, Barack Obama was re-elected despite domestic and foreign policy failures too numerous, and painful, to enumerate.

Obama’s efforts to dismantle America (he calls it ‘fundamental transformation’) were boosted, but just slightly, by modest gains in both chambers of Congress.

Four loyal Americans serving their nation as diplomats in Libya were slaughtered at the US embassy in Benghazi by Al-Quaeda thugs who, according to our President, were vanquished and no longer much of a threat.

Regrettably, the Obama administration and Democrats in Congress are more interested in defending the actions and career path of UN Ambassador Susan Rice than they are in telling the American people the truth about the second most awful September 11 in our history.

Still, there ARE blessings for which Conservatives should, however grudgingly, give thanks.

Number one, we should give thanks for the 22nd Amendment which limits the President to two terms!

That blessing means that in just four laser-quick years, Barack Obama will be forced to leave the White House, come hell or high water!

With Obama in power, the smart bet is on hell.

Thank thee, oh Lord, for the 22nd Amendment!

Secondly, we the people in our infinite wisdom decided that at least one branch of government should remain in the hands of patriotic, intelligent Americans devoted to preservation of our republic and American values and at least a modicum of fiscal sanity.

Which is why the GOP is still the majority party of the US House of Representatives. How much of a blessing that turns out to be is dependent on the likes of John Boehner, a sobering thought until one ponders the alternative: Nancy Pelosi.

Again, we celebrate the GOP victory in the US House and the prudent denial of the Speaker’s gavel to Nancy Pelosi!

Thank thee, oh Lord, for that!

Further, as of this moment, America is still a free society where ballots, rather than bullets, are used to determine whom shall have the power to govern.

Which means that in just two years, mid-term elections will be held to decide the composition of the US House and much of the Senate.

Thus, in 2014, We the People will have an opportunity to partially redeem the mistakes of 2012 by installing a GOP majority in the US Senate and re-installing the same in the US House, again denying the Speaker’s gavel to Nancy Pelosi!

Thank thee, oh Lord, for the chance to correct, at least in part, the mistakes of November 6, in November 2014!

Lastly, we thank thee, oh Lord, for the American grit and determination that will see us through these dark times.

We will prevail—it just may take longer than we would like!



HAPPY THANKGIVING!

Words from Gaza Following Explosion in Tel Aviv: “God Willing, We Will Soon See Black Body Bags"




By John W. Lillpop

Those who insist on referring to Islam as a “Religion of Peace” please reconsider.

For on this day, a rocket fired from Gaza struck a bus in Tel Aviv resulting in multiple injuries, but no fatalities.

As reported at reference 1:
Police said it was not a suicide attack and suggested that someone might have left the device on the number 142 bus.
The driver, who escaped largely unscathed, told reporters he had not seen anyone suspicious get on board.
"I felt the explosion ... Smoke was everywhere, you couldn't see a thing," he said. The blue and white vehicle was not torn apart by the blast, indicating it was a relatively small device.
The bombing happened on the eighth day of an Israeli offensive against the Gaza Strip and coincided with intensive diplomatic efforts to secure a lasting truce.”
Intensive diplomatic efforts notwithstanding, news of the explosion inspired thanksgiving among some Palestinians.

Also from the reference 1, Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri hailed the explosion:

"Hamas blesses the attack in Tel Aviv and sees it as a natural response to the Israeli massacres...in Gaza," he told Reuters. "Palestinian factions will resort to all means in order to protect our Palestinian civilians in the absence of a world effort to stop the Israeli aggression."
Sweet cakes were handed out in celebration in Gaza's main hospital, which has been inundated with wounded from the round-the-clock Israeli bombing and shelling.”

Sweet cakes all around! Celebrate the explosion with gusto!

A Gaza broadcaster added passion to the occasion by saying, “God Willing, We Will Soon See Black Body Bags.”

See YOUTUBE link below:

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=UH-IINhvQvI

Sweet cakes and wishes for black body bags! What more should one expect from a “Religion of Peace” farce grounded in the 7th Century and based on hatred of all things Jewish?

Where to Find a Festive Inaugural Ball on Jan. 20?





By John W. Lillpop

Gloom, despair, and excessive misery will dominate the moods and emotions of patriotic Americans on January 20, 2013, while Marxists, heathen, and all manner of entitlement addicts joyfully celebrate the inexplicable reelection of Barack Obama to the US Presidency.

Lavish Inaugural Balls will be  held in Washington, D.C., New York City, Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and other leftist escapes where concepts such as patriotism, personal responsibility, fiscal prudence, religious faith, and electoral integrity are held in contempt as “old school,” and intolerably racist.

Internationally, the demise of American Exceptionalism will be toasted at Inaugural Balls in Beijing, Carcass, Moscow, Mexico City, Tehran, Havana and other anti-American venues where Obama will be celebrated as a great innovator who brought down the greatest society in human history by promising to redistribute wealth from the successful and enterprising to the slovenly and utterly dependent.

Joy will be absent for those who love America, our culture and traditions, and the liberty and freedoms which make this nation so special.

Where to find Festive Inaugural Balls?  Anywhere where America is no longer held in high esteem!

 January 20, 2013: Bound to be a very sad day in America!

With Any Luck, Barack Obama Will Be Impeached Before Being Re-Inaugurated!


Satire by John W. Lillpop


Former CIA Director David Patreaus made even muddier the waters swirling around the September 11 Benghazi slaughter, and the odd doings by the White House in response to the so-called ‘spontaneous’ terrorist attack.

Patreaus, his boy-scout, squeaky- clean image sullied by an acknowledged frolic (or several) in the hay with his erstwhile biographer, she who hails to the name Paula Broadwell, stood the world on its collective head when he testified, under oath, before Congress that the talking points “presented” to the world by UN Ambassador Susan Rice on September 16, were, in fact, sanitized by the White House to remove inferences, direct or assumed, that the Benghazi attack was perpetrated, in total, or in part, by Al-Quaeda.

Al-Quaeda, it will be remembered by those who have been paying attention, are those angry young Muslim males who, according to President Obama, were driven back to their rightful places in caves residing in the 7th Century, owing to Obama’s due diligence, including his valiant efforts to try KSM and other GITMO victims of US war crimes in civilian courts, aided by lawyers paid for by taxpayers and only after being fully “Mirandized” to make peace with ACLU shysters.

The Patreaus revelation immediately raises questions, such as: Who changed the talking points?

Like: Are you serious?

It is reminiscent of the famous 18.5 minute gap eradicated from the White House tapes during the 1972 Watergate scandal executed by Richard Nixon.

40 years later it is perfectly clear that it was Richard Millhouse Nixon himself, an uncoordinated and clumsy ogre, who took over his secretary’s desk for some ‘midnight transcribing’, that caused 18.5 minutes of incriminating evidence to go missing.

We Americans should have learned by now that Barack Obama is the latter-day, more sinister colored version of President Nixon, and we should act accordingly.

Which means that we should skip all of the exhaustive and costly hearings before Congress, the appeals to the SCOTUS, and the emotional drain on we the people when it comes to adjudicating the crimes of one Barack Hussein Obama.

Let’s work smart for a change, and impeach this Marxist brat NOW, and save we the people the cost of inaugurating a felon to the high office of the presidency, only to be evicted a few weeks later.

Impeach and remove Barack Obama from office before he is re-inaugurated to the office for which he is unqualified by reason of incompetence, and compounded by his grevious high crimes and misdemeanors.

Obama must go—now!

Doth Obama 'Protesteth Too Much’ In Defending Susan Rice?





By John W. Lillpop



President Barack Obama used his first press conference in eight months to stage an angry, but illogical, defense of UN Secretary Susan Rice, who has been sharply criticized for her comments to the media about the Benghazi slaughter.

At issue are Rice's comments on five different Sunday news shows on September 16 in which the UN Ambassador appeared to attribute the September 11 attack in Libya to response to an anti-Muslim video, and not a terrorist attack.

U.S. intelligence agencies resolved within a day of the attack that the incident was a terrorist attack.

Hours before Obama conducted his press conference on Wednesday, GOP Senators John McCain (R-Ariz) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC), and Kelly Ayotte (R-N.H.) expressed reservations about supporting Rice should she be nominated by Obama to replace Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. See reference 1.

As cited at reference 2, Obama took on the GOP senators:

"If Sen. McCain and Sen. Graham and others want to go after somebody, they should go after me," Obama said. "And I'm happy to have that discussion with them. But for them to go after the U.N. ambassador? Who had nothing to do with Benghazi? And was simply making a presentation based on intelligence that she had received? To besmirch her reputation is outrageous."

He called out McCain and Graham: "When they go after the U.N. ambassador apparently because they think she's an easy target, then they've got a problem with me."

The obvious disconnect in Obama’s rant, is: If Ms. Rice “had nothing to do with Benghazi,” why in the hell was she sent to the Sunday news show circuit by the president?

Why not Hillary Clinton or other knowledgeable spokesperson from the State Department or perhaps some one from the CIA?

Indeed, it was Obama who made Ms. Rice a target by sending her on a mission for which she was ill-prepared, other than being fed misleading (at best) talking points by an administration trying to stave off disaster just weeks before a national election.

Even more disconcerting is Obama’s “outrage,” given the fact that four innocent American lives were lost during the attack!

Again, four American lives were lost!  THAT IS THE OUTRAGE, Mr. President!

The American people have a right to know exactly what happened, how our government behaved, and who and what is to blame for the failures in Benghazi!

Is it too cynical to suggest this scenario: After the attacks became known, Team Obama realized that the impact on the upcoming elections could be a game-changer in Mitt Romney’s favor.

Clearly, Obama needed a cover story that would avoid the conclusion that the administration was remiss in not taking the war on terror and Al-Quaeda seriously on the anniversary of the worst terrorist attack on American soil in history.

At the same time, Obama needed to have that story presented by someone whom could be defended by accusing detractors of discrimination.

Presto! Susan Rice emerges as the perfect target! She is black and female, as such damn near bullet proof.
Or so Team Obama thought!

All of which leads to the inescapable conclusion that,”The President Doth Proteseth Too Much!”

Jesse Jackson’s ‘Yogi Berra’ Moment




By John W. Lillpop


Yogi Berra, great philosopher and much-heralded intellectual from the streets of St. Louis, is also remembered as a long-time catcher for the New York Yankees baseball team.

Berra has entertained generations of Americans with witticisms, many unintentional, and an array of unforgettable one-liners that leave one unsure as to whether the man is a genius or clown.

Of his many hysterical lines, these are Berra classics:

‘When you come to a fork in the road, take it!’

‘Baseball is 90 percent half mental!’

And while standing in a long line to be served at an upscale restaurant, he complained about the long line, “No wonder nobody comes here anymore!’

That latest gag has apparently been usurped by the Reverend Jesse Jackson who some how feels that long lines at voting polls reflect voter suppression.

As reported at the reference:


Reverend Jesse Jackson, founder and president of the Rainbow PUSH Coalition, said that long lines at Pennsylvania polling places on Election Day were a form of voter suppression.

He added that he has not seen lines like the ones at early polling places in Ohio since the election of Nelson Mandela in South Africa.

Speaking on Election Day at a press conference in Ohio, Jackson said, “But they don’t have the early voting. They only vote today in Pennsylvania, so those will be very long lines. And very long lines, while they show one sign of commitment and the legality, also [are] a form of suppression.”

Really, Reverend,  is there nothing in the entire universe that happens without racial discrimination being involved?

Still, Yogi would be proud!

Whither John Boehner Tears Now That America Has Been Lost?





By John W. Lillpop

Speaker of the US House John Boehner has been quick to “pile on” the Tea Party and conservatives in wake of the November 6 loss of America to Marxists, near Marxists, and the leftist mainstream media.

For the record, where was the waterfall of tears for which the Speaker is so famous after the nightmare victory of revenge and envy over love of nation last Tuesday?

Perhaps John Boehner is a closet RINO who secretly cheered on Obama and the 60 million goons who voted to destroy the greatest society in human history?

Boehner may be the reason ABC’s Diane Sawyer looked so loopy Tuesday last after being told by Boehner that there is ‘no tea Party Caucus in the House,’ ‘comprehensive immigration reform(amnesty) is a good idea,” and other equally stupid surrenders to the Dark Side.

John Boehner and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie have apparently been brain washed by agents of the left, and are now officially deputized members of the Obama Army in the War on America.

Boehner has taken his message of treason and surrender to the general population of loyal Republicans in the US House with the warning: Fall in line or else!

As reported at the reference, Boehner’s orders were delivered in a telephone conference call:

On a conference call with House Republicans a day after the party’s electoral battering last week, Speaker John A. Boehner dished out some bitter medicine, and for the first time in the 112th Congress, most members took their dose.
Related
Their party lost, badly, Mr. Boehner said, and while Republicans would still control the House and would continue to staunchly oppose tax rate increases as Congress grapples with the impending fiscal battle, they had to avoid the nasty showdowns that marked so much of the last two years.
Members on the call, subdued and dark, murmured words of support — even a few who had been a thorn in the speaker’s side for much of this Congress.
The divide between Mr. Obama and Mr. Boehner appears wide. In their Saturday addresses, the president demanded immediate House passage of a bill approved by the Senate that would extend the expiring Bush-era tax cuts for households earning under $250,000, while the speaker said raising tax rates on anyone would be unacceptable.
But beneath the posturing, both men were keeping open avenues of negotiation. Mr. Obama was careful to call for more revenue, not higher tax rates, a demand that could be fulfilled by ending or limiting tax deductions and credits, a path Mr. Boehner has accepted.
The question over what to do about the expiring tax cuts would be swept aside if the parties could reach an agreement before then to overhaul the tax code completely — and render obsolete the current structure of six income tax rates, all of which would rise on Jan. 1.
Even so, some Republicans have issued a stern warning to Mr. Boehner that he cannot expect their votes if he makes a deal with Democrats before seeking their consent.
“What we’ve seen in the past is the speaker goes, negotiates with the president, and just before we vote, he tells us what the deal is and attempts to persuade us to vote for it,” said Representative John Fleming, Republican of Louisiana. “We’re just not very happy with deals being baked, then we’re asked to stay with the team and support the speaker.”
Given those conflicting demands, Mr. Boehner must decide whether he wants to seal his role as an essential player in a grand plan to restructure the nation’s fiscal condition, or continue the status quo of the very gridlock voters appear to detest.

“I don’t want to box myself in, and I don’t want to box anyone else in,” Mr. Boehner told reporters on Friday.”

So, with his options dwindling, the Speaker decides to box in the unwashed masses, those poor dolts who believe in the Constitution, fiscal sanity, and borders, language, and culture?

That’s our reward for supporting this weeping willow over the past two years?

A word to the wise should suffice: Go straight to the living hell, John Boehner! And take your commie pal BHO with ya’!

Jesse Jackson Demands Pay Back for Blacks Who Elected Obama!





By John W. Lillpop

Most Americans harbor the lofty idea that voting in free and open elections is somehow a blessed right endowed on we the people, perhaps by deity, so that we may fully participate in our own governance and self-determination.

We Americans often beat our chests and crow with pride as we spew high-sounding oratory about our unique and special democracy. We commonly profess to be obsessed with liberty, freedom, integrity, and equality while engaged in the voting experience, in a world where corruption, tyranny, and fraud are the norm.

Its as if voting in America is a spiritual gift bestowed more or less equally to the unwashed masses and well- heeled alike.

However, there are those among us who view voting in crass terms of dollars and cents.

For example, the Reverend Jesse Jackson sees voting as an investment in which those who win are owed money, riches, and power from those they supported.

As reported at the reference:



CHICAGO (STMW) – The Rev. Jesse Jackson on Saturday said that President Obama’s reelection was “a great victory,” but that it would be incomplete with a reconstruction of urban America and an investment in the communities where the blacks who voted overwhelmingly for the president live.

“We’re happy and full of pride,” in the president’s reelection, Jackson told the crowd at the Saturday morning forum at Rainbow/PUSH headquarters, 930 E. 50th St., “but our houses remain raggedy … our schools remain closed.”
Despite attempts at voter suppression in states such as Ohio, Pennsylvania and Florida, Jackson said, blacks turned out en masse to vote, enduring waits that stretched into hours in many places. “We waited, we voted, we believed,” Jackson said. “Now we want to get well.
“We voted early, we voted long. Our votes won,” he said.

Rev. Jackson, who spoke longer, louder, and more forcefully than he has in some time at the Saturday morning Rainbow/PUSH meeting, asked the crowd, “What do we want? We want, we want, we want, we deserve, we deserve … a return on our investment." “What’s good for us is good for everybody. What’s good for blacks is good for everybody.,” he said. “We bled too much, we died too young, we cried too much, we prayed too long, now we want a return on our investment.”

Referring to those voter suppression efforts, he said, “these acts of meanness had unintended consequences.” Rather than keeping blacks and Latinos away from the polls, voter ID measures and the curtailing of access to the voting booths made people more determined to vote. “Suppression became stimulation and people fought back,” he said.

“We fought back,” and the battle was won, but the war still remains, he said.

“If we vote and don’t bargain we get nothing. A Jacuzzi filled with stagnant water will not get you well,” Jackson said. “You have to stir the water.”

Well said, Reverend!  Truly an amazing incorporation of the American spirit into a man often wrongly accused of being a greedy fool on a mission to shake down the world for gold.

Hillary Clinton, David Patreaus Slither Away from Benghazi!







By John W. Lillpop


Just what the heck is going on in America?

The week about to end brought all sorts of chaos and bedlam to the fore:

( )Acting against their own vital interests, 50 percent of American voters cast their lot with Barack Obama, assuring another four years of economic, military, moral, and legal decadence for what used to be America;

( )Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, up to her unkempt hair and make-up free face in the Benghazi slaughter, declined to testify before Congress next week.

Prior “travel” plans trump the urgent need for a Congressional overview of the murder of four American patriots in Libya;

( )CIA Director David Patreaus suddenly resigned from the CIA, thereby scuttling his scheduled appearance before Congress next week with regard to Benghazi.

In his case, carnal affairs trump national security and the lives of those four innocent victims of the “spontaneous” kerfuffel of September 11.


Thus, the Obama war on transparency and honesty resumes, right where it left off. Perhaps the media will wake up and dig for the truth?

About as likley as the good people of Philadelphia coming forward voluntarily to admit a mammouth hacking of the voting machines on November 6, which caused Obama to get 99% of the votes?

Is there no hope for America?

Profiling the ‘New’ American Voter





By John W. Lillpop



As the 2012 election is consigned to the archives (filed under stupid, insanity, and self mutilation), political pundits are racing to develop a detailed, comprehensive profile of the modern voter in preparation for 2014 and beyond.

Scholars are discovering that contemporary voters have a number of unique takes on the American experience.

Indeed, voters differ from previous electorates in the following ways:

( )Excessive long-term unemployment is no longer a stigma, especially when the government provides extended unemployment benefits;
( )23 million people in the category of unemployed or underemployed is acceptable, especially to those holding good-paying jobs;

( )Economic growth of 1-2% is palatable, provided government-funded programs for food stamps, welfare payments and the like are available;

( )16 trillion dollars in federal debt is aggravating, but hardly debilitating especially when the government can print as much money as it needs at any time;

( )Living within one’s means is an old-school myth, based on old (Caucasian) wive's tales from previous centuries. Has no relevance to life in 21st century.

( )Spending cuts which impact programs to the poor and needy are inherently racist. Better to soak the rich in order to fund wasteful spending;

( )Nearly 47% of the electorate is living off the teat of public welfare. The beauty is that American can afford it!

( )The murders of innocent American ambassadors serving on foreign soil, such as in Libya, are unfortunate, but understandable given the hostile nature of most white American ambassadors and their insensitivity to the religious feelings of Muslims;

( )Considering America's history of slavery and discrimination, electing black presidents is the right thing to do, at least through the rest of this century;

( )Voter fraud is a myth perpetuated by white voters unwilling to admit new demographic realities;

( )Mainstream media outlets like ABC, CBS, and NBC are objective, non-partisan institutions that thrive on objectivity and fairness, whereas FOX news and conservative sources are despicably corrupt and unworthy, and

( )Folk hero musician Bob Dylan is more in touch with American voters and is wiser in all ways than Michael Barone, Dick Morris, and Peggy Noonan can ever hope to be!



Given this sort of mindless thinking, it’s a wonder that Obama did not win by a bigger margin!




Obama Garners Nearly 7 Million Fewer Votes Than in 2008!




By John W. Lillpop


While Democrats are rightfully celebrating their historic hoodwinking of the electorate on November 6, there is a curious fact that is worth considering:

Barack Obama pulled in about 7 million fewer votes in 2012 than in 2008::

2008:   66,882,230
2012:   59,971,178
 
            6,911,052  Net Loss of votes


True, Mitt Romney drew 1 million fewer votes than John McCain managed in 2008; still, that means that Obama lost a net of about six million votes in four years!

Hardly a ringing endorsement of The One and his policies.

So, where, pray tell, is the ‘mandate’ in that?

Should President-elect Romney Refuse to Be Sworn in By Chief Justice Roberts?




By John W. Lillpop


Now that Barack Obama has reduced the precious voting right to a function of craven revenge, one wonders if President-elect Mitt Romney will follow Obama down the long, lonely road to despicable, classless amateurism?


Specifically: Will this good, decent man (Romney) refuse to take the oath of office from Chief Justice John Roberts, who at end of June, was the swing vote in upholding the Marxist healthcare scam known spitefully as ObamaCare?

Lord knows that Romney would be more than justified in taking such a stance given Roberts’ treasonous action.

Still, the fact is that Romney is NOT a classless puppet who is driven by jealousy and envy.

Therefore, I expect Roberts to be the first to shake the hand of President Mitt Romney after administering the oath on January 20, 2013.

What rich irony that moment will bring to the tumultuous, crazy 2012 election!




Which Shall It Be, America: A “Shining City on a Hill” or Welfare State Fueled by Envy and Revenge?














By John W. Lillpop


After four long, dreadful years in which America has been ridiculed, diminished, and shamed by a sitting President, even while on foreign soil, the day of reckoning has finally arrived, and We the people will finally be allowed to speak.

In recent days, President Obama has tried to rally support by urging voters to cast ballots in order to exact “revenge.”

Republican Mitt Romney, on the other hand, has pleaded with Americans to vote based on Love of Nation.

Revenge versus love.

That pretty well sums up the Obama versus Romney attitude toward governance, our Democratic republic, and American history and culture.

Mitt Romney echoes the vision of President Ronald Reagan who said the following in his 1984 acceptance of the Republican Party nomination and in his January 11, 1989, farewell speech to the nation:



“I've spoken of the shining city all my political life, but I don't know if I ever quite communicated what I saw when I said it. But in my mind it was a tall proud city built on rocks stronger than oceans, wind-swept, God-blessed, and teeming with people of all kinds living in harmony and peace, a city with free ports that hummed with commerce and creativity, and if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors and the doors were open to anyone with the will and the heart to get here. That's how I saw it.”

Which will it be, America?

Four more years of anti-American hysteria fueled by envy and revenge, or a new and refreshing view of America as a “Shining City on a Hill?”

 It’s up to We the People!

Under Obama, “American Dream” Goes Missing: US No Longer Among Most Prosperous Nations!




By John W. Lillpop


While Barack Obama and the Democrat Party, in lock-step with the leftist media, may believe that having 23 million Americans either unemployed or underemployed is acceptable and a sign of progress, reality suggests otherwise.

The bitter,  brutal truth:  The United States no longer ranks among the world's 10 most prosperous nations, the latest annual report from a prominent think-tank has found.

As reported at the reference:

The sixth annual Legatum Prosperity Index was released by the Legatum Institute, part of the Legatum Group, a Dubai-based private investment company founded by New Zealand billionaire Christopher Chandler.

The United States fell two places from 10th to 12th on this year's index. The U.S. scored 20th in economy, 12th in entrepreneurship and opportunity, 10th in governance, 5th in education, 2nd in health, 27th in safety and security, 14th in personal freedom and 10th in social capital.

The index evaluates and ranks 144 nations in eight categories: economy, entrepreneurship and opportunity, governance, education, health, safety and security, personal freedom and social capital.

According to the index, the world's 10 most prosperous nations are: Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Finland, the Netherlands, Switzerland and Ireland.

The report found that fewer Americans believe that hard work leads to success. Americans reported less respect for government and much lower than average confidence in financial institutions. The U.S. also reported higher business start-up costs and lower exports of high-tech products.

The report called America's slip in the rankings "unprecedented" and said that the "American Dream" was in "jeopardy."

Voters must fire Barack Obama to regain the American Dream! Its that simple!

Can “Revenge Vote” Save America?





 By John W. Lillpop


President Barack Obama has admonished voters to forsake the traditional “boo” as  a means for expressing displeasure with political office seeks.

Instead, as reported at the reference, Obama endorsed the use of Revenge for voting:

Obama made the remark at a Friday rally after supporters booed Romney. “No, no, no. Don't boo. Vote,” Obama told a crowd in Springfield, Ohio. “Voting is the best revenge.”

GOP nominee Mitt Romney began his final weekend campaign blitz in New Hampshire Saturday morning, ripping President Obama for telling supporters that "voting is the best revenge."
"Vote for revenge? Let me tell you: Vote for love of country," Romney said to cheers.”

Actually, given the enemies that Obama has made, Revenge might be just what America needs to end Obama’s Marxist grip on our nation.

Indeed, that there are several groups of Americans who the president does not care about, or work for, and for who Revenge would be more than justified, including but not limited to:


( )Jews and supporters of Israel;
( )Catholics and other Religious institutions denied First Amendment rights as a result of ObamaCare mandates;
( )Americans who have paid more than $1.84 for a gallon of gas;
( )Those involved in the coal and oil industries;
( )US Border patrol agents and their families;
( )Alabama, Arizona, other states sued by Obama for passing laws to protect citizens from the invasion by millions of illegal aliens,
( )Pro-life activists;
( )Stay- at- home moms;
( )Evangelicals;
( )The City and people of Las Vegas;
( )Gun rights advocates;
( )Proponents of traditional marriages
( )Supply-side economists;
( )Balanced budget advocates;
( )FOX News;
( )Americans for legal immigration:
( )US Chamber of Commerce;
( )Those who earn more than $250,000 a year;
( )People and businesses that pay taxes;
( )Governors and citizens of Red States.


The Big Question: Should Revenge be a factor in voting?  Hell Yes, and let Obama start packing!

America’s Most-Respected Pundit Predicts 315 Electoral Votes for Romney!





By John W. Lillpop


Michael Barone is unquestionably the most respected pundit in America these days. Barone is held in high esteem for straight shooting, high integrity, and unbiased commentary.

Michael Barone is not a  flame thrower for either the right or left.

Which is why his thoughts about the presidential election are so important and—for conservatives—uplifting!

As reported at the reference, Barone sees a Romney triumph with 315 electoral votes.  Details of the Barone analysis are:



Fundamentals usually prevail in American elections. That's bad news for Barack Obama. True, Americans want to think well of their presidents and many think it would be bad if Americans were perceived as rejecting the first black president.
But it's also true that most voters oppose Obama's major policies and consider unsatisfactory the very sluggish economic recovery -- Friday's jobs report showed an unemployment uptick.

Also, both national and target state polls show that independents, voters who don't identify themselves as Democrats or Republicans, break for Romney.
That might not matter if Democrats outnumbered Republicans by 39 to 32 percent, as they did in the 2008 exit poll. But just about every indicator suggests that Republicans are more enthusiastic about voting -- and about their candidate -- than they were in 2008, and Democrats are less so.
That's been apparent in early or absentee voting, in which Democrats trail their 2008 numbers in target states Virginia, Ohio, Iowa and Nevada.
The Obama campaign strategy, from the beginning, has recognized these handicaps, running barrages of early anti-Romney ads in states that Obama carried narrowly. But other states, not so heavily barraged, have come into contention.
Which candidate will get the electoral votes of the target states? I'll go out on a limb and predict them, in ascending order of 2008 Obama percentages -- fully aware that I'm likely to get some wrong.

Indiana (11 electoral votes). Uncontested. Romney.
North Carolina (15 electoral votes). Obama has abandoned this target. Romney.
Florida (29). The biggest target state has trended Romney since the Denver debate. I don't see any segment of the electorate favoring Obama more than in 2008, and I see some (South Florida Jews) favoring him less. Romney.

Ohio (18). The anti-Romney auto bailout ads have Obama running well enough among blue-collar voters for him to lead most polls. But many polls anticipate a more Democratic electorate than in 2008. Early voting tells another story, and so does the registration decline in Cleveland's Cuyahoga County. In 2004, intensity among rural, small -town and evangelical voters, undetected by political reporters who don't mix in such circles, produced a narrow Bush victory. I see that happening again. Romney.
Virginia (13). Post-debate polling mildly favors Romney, and early voting is way down in heavily Democratic Arlington, Alexandria, Richmond and Norfolk. Northern Virginia Asians may trend Romney. Romney.

Colorado (9). Unlike 2008, registered Republicans outnumber registered Democrats, and more Republicans than Democrats have voted early. The Republican trend in 2010 was squandered by weak candidates for governor and senator. Not this time. Romney.
Iowa (6). The unexpected Romney endorsements by the Des Moines Register and three other newspapers gave voice to buyer's remorse in a state Obama carried by 10 points. Democrats' traditional margin in early voting has declined. Romney.
Minnesota (10). A surprise last-minute media buy for the Romney campaign. But probably a bridge too far. Obama.

New Hampshire (4). Polls are very tight here. I think superior Republican intensity will prevail. Romney.

Pennsylvania (20). Everyone would have picked Obama two weeks ago. I think higher turnout in pro-coal Western Pennsylvania and higher Republican percentages in the Philadelphia suburbs could produce a surprise. The Romney team evidently thinks so too. Their investment in TV time is too expensive to be a mere feint, and, as this is written, Romney is planning a Sunday event in Bucks County outside Philly. Wobbling on my limb, Romney.

Nevada (6). Democratic early-voting turnout is down from 2008 in Las Vegas' Clark County, 70 percent of the state. But the casino unions' turnout machine on Election Day re-elected an unpopular Harry Reid in 2010, and I think they'll get enough Latinos and Filipinos out this time. Obama.

Wisconsin (10). Recent polling is discouraging for Republicans. But Gov. Scott Walker handily survived the recall effort in June with a great organizational push. Democrats depend heavily on margins in inner-city Milwaukee (population down) and the Madison university community. But early voting is down in university towns in other states. The Obama campaign is prepared to turn out a big student vote, but you don't see many Obama signs on campuses. Romney.

Oregon (7), New Mexico (5), New Jersey (14). Uncontested. Obama.
Michigan (16). Romney chose Pennsylvania, where there's no auto bailout issue. Obama.

Bottom line: Romney 315, Obama 223. That sounds high for Romney. But he could drop Pennsylvania and Wisconsin and still win the election. Fundamentals. 

Alas, the Barone prognostication may deliver much-needed sleep and peace of mind for patriots concerned about saving America from the clutches of incompetence and Marxism inherent in Barack Obama!

Obama Boasts of “Real Progress" on Jobs: What About Blacks and Latinos, Mr. President?



By John Lillpop


President Obama is spinning the latest jobs report as proof positive that he deserves another four years in the Oval Office to deal with the nation’s economic and unemployment crises.

For the record, the latest jobs report indicates an overall unemployment rate of 7.9%, which is higher than in January 2009 when Obama took office.

Notwithstanding the human misery his policies have wrought, the president said, “We have made real progress."

Real progress, sir?

With all due respect, what about the job numbers for African-Americans and Latinos, sir?

Although the economy added 171,000 jobs in October, the overall unemployment rate inched up to 7.9%.

However, the conditions for African-Americans and Latinos worsened as the unemployment rate for blacks went up from 13.4% to 14.3%, and for Latinos from 9.9% to 10%.

This is REAL PROGRESS?

Where is the outrage and the street riots over the fact that Obama believes real progress can be achieved without improving the lives of people of color?

Where are Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson?

With just four lying days left before the election, Obama still has not answered the basic question: Where are the jobs?

Another Foreign Scalawag Backs Obama





By John W. Lillpop


While Republican Mitt Romney continues to surge among American voters and politicians, Barack Obama continues to attract communists, near communists, and dictators from foreign lands.

As reported at the reference, the French Prime Minister joined the ranks of despicable scalawags like Vladimir Putin, Hugo Chavez, and Fidel Castro to voice support for the befuddled Obama:

French Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault has broken with diplomatic protocol by openly expressing his hope that Barack Obama wins the upcoming US presidential election.

"If I was an American citizen I wouldn't hesitate to vote for Obama," he told a radio interviewer on Wednesday.

While it is hardly surprising that Ayrault, a Socialist, would support the Democrat candidate in a US election, prudence normally restricts politicians from making such remarks given the possibility they will end up having to deal with their Republican rivals.”


A note to Ayrault: If YOU were an American citizen, you would realize that the “hope” of a frog politician is irrelevant in America, and may, in fact, help defeat America’s worst president in history!

America's Move to "Post-Racial" Era: Another Dismal Failure by Barack Obama!





By John W. Lillpop


Barack Obama’s legacy is one of mostly unfulfilled promises, including:

( )Cut the federal deficit by one-half(He doubled it!)

( )Reduce unemployment to 6% (Stands at just below 8%)

( )Close GITMO

( )Reset relations with Russia (renewed cold war!)

( )Restore world respect for US (laughable!)

Obama also promised to usher in a “post-racial” era in order to bring Americans together.

The result? Another full- throated disaster for our president and America!

In the four years since Obama hijacked the Oval Office, racial tensions in America have grown more aggravated and the races are less tolerant of one another.

As reported:

"Racial attitudes have not improved in the four years since the United States elected its first black president, an Associated Press poll finds, as a slight majority of Americans now express prejudice toward blacks whether they recognize those feelings or not.

Those views could cost President Barack Obama votes as he tries for re-election, the survey found, though the effects are mitigated by some people's more favorable views of blacks.

Racial prejudice has increased slightly since 2008 whether those feelings were measured using questions that explicitly asked respondents about racist attitudes, or through an experimental test that measured implicit views toward race without asking questions about that topic directly.

In all, 51 percent of Americans now express explicit anti-black attitudes, compared with 48 percent in a similar 2008 survey. When measured by an implicit racial attitudes test, the number of Americans with anti-black sentiments jumped to 56 percent, up from 49 percent during the last presidential election. In both tests, the share of Americans expressing pro-black attitudes fell.

"As much as we'd hope the impact of race would decline over time ... it appears the impact of anti-black sentiment on voting is about the same as it was four years ago," said Jon Krosnick, a Stanford University professor who worked with AP to develop the survey.”

Notwithstanding the vaunted survey, two pertinent questions remain unanswered:

1. What about black racism? Why is there no critique of the fact that despite 14% unemployment among blacks, that demographic continues to register greater than 90% support for the black president?

2. Are the increases in negative views about blacks attributable, at least in part, to a failed presidency in which, among other things, the black president and Attorney General appear to harbor anti-white prejudice?

Perhaps the best way to improve race relations would be to remove the failed Barack Obama from power?

Hurricane Sandy to Drive Obama Failures, Scandals off Front Pages?




By John Lillpop


As new information concerning Barack Obama’s pandemic of failures and scandals surfaces daily, all of the momentum seems to favor Mitt Romney in the final days of the 2012 presidential sweepstakes.

However, an act of nature may make the path of the challenger more difficult, but still doable.

Specifically, as reported in the Public Advisory at the reference, this monster storm is expected to attack a large swath of the US east coast from FLORIDA THROUGH THE CAROLINAS FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS AND SPREAD INTO THE MID- ATLANTIC AND NORTHEASTERN STATES BY SUNDAY.

Estimates are that Sandy may inflict as much as $ 1 billion dollars in property damage and may result in serious injuries and deaths.

Given the projected impact of Sandy, it seems likely that the storm will dominate news coverage for several days next week, thereby pushing coverage of Obama’s high crimes and misdemeanors, as well as his brutal incompetence, off the front pages and BREAKING NEWS headlines.

In view of the refusal by the liberal media to cover topics like the slaughter in Benghazi and other stories that reflect poorly on Obama with any degree of objectivity, or at all, the overall impact of Sandy coverage may, in fact, not be all that great.

After all, 100 mile an hour winds, massive storm surges, catastrophic flooding, and nature at her worst pale in comparison to the bedlam and harm inflicted on a daily basis by the media which is, despite the past four years, still smitten with love for a Marxist community organizer who  hates America.

The big question: How can patriotic Americans pursue legal action against mainstream media for duplicity in the attempted destruction of the greatest society in human history?

Team Obama Trolls for Virgin Votes!


By John W Lillpop



In yet another dramatic lowering of the decency bar for the purpose of sheer political expediency, Team Obama is actively courting the “virgin” demographic for the November 6 brouhaha.

As reported:

President Obama's campaign is out with an eyebrow-raising new ad targeting young voters in which Lena Dunham, the creator of the HBO hit series 'Girls,' compares her first voting experience to losing her virginity.

'Your first time shouldn’t be with just anybody,' Dunham, 26, says in the ad. 'You want to do it with a great guy.'

Dunham goes on to explain that 'your first time' should be with 'someone who really cares about and understands women; A guy who cares whether you get health insurance and specifically whether you get birth control.'

'The consequences are huge,' she continues.

Dunham wraps up the Obama ad by describing her coming-of-age experience at the voting booth.

'It was this line in the sand,' she says. 'Before, I was a girl. Now, I was a woman. I went to the polling station, I pulled back the curtain, I voted for Barack Obama.'

Dunham has amassed a cult following among 20-somethings as the creator and starring actress in the HBO hit series, 'Girls.' She has been widely dubbed the 'voice of a generation' for her show's hilarious representation of life as a middle-to-upper-class millennial living in New York City.

The young star is one of many celebrities that the Obama campaign is calling on to try and reach and inspire young people, whose record-breaking turnout on Election Day four years ago was critical to Obama's victory in 2008. Obama needs similar turnout among young people on Election Day this year to win re-election.

Dunham's tongue-in-cheek references to losing her virginity are not lost on Republicans, many of whom say they are outraged by the ad and call it 'disgusting.'

'Talk about desperation,' a conservative blogger wrote on 'The Right Scoop.'

'They've finally sunken to a new low trying to get the youth vote by comparing voting for the first time to having sex for the first time.'

RedState editor-in-chief and CNN contributor Erick Erickson wrote, 'If you need any further proof we live in a fallen world destined for hell fire, consider the number of people who have no problem with the President of the United States, via a campaign ad, ridiculing virgins and comparing sex to voting.'

He said the only honest part of the ad is that Obama's 2008 supporters 'have been screwed -- economically.'

Fox News analyst and conservative author Monica Crowley called the ad 'sick' and 'degrading' on Twitter.


'Of the many sick things about this degrading Lena Dunham "lose your virginity to Barack" ad? The left thinks it's "empowering" to women,' she wrote.

Conservative blogger John Nolte of Breitbart News added: 'How could a president with two young, blossoming daughters release an ad as disgusting as this?'

International Election Observers, Beware: Don’t Mess With Texas!



By John W. Lillpop


The idea that a gaggle of International Election Observers, no doubt quiche-eaters and Obama sycophants, would be allowed to “observe” the conduct of voting in the Great State of Texas is absurd, outrageous, communist and un-American rubbish inspired by foot soldiers for Satan, also known as Democrats.

As reported at the reference, Texas is fighting back and has advised dodo birds from abroad that they could be arrested for getting in the way of the greatest democratic institution in world history:

The report:

Texas authorities have threatened to arrest international election observers, prompting a furious response from the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE).

“The threat of criminal sanctions against [international] observers is unacceptable,” Janez Lenarčič, the Director of the OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR), said in a statement.

“The United States, like all countries in the OSCE, has an obligation to invite ODIHR observers to observe its elections.”

Lawmakers from the group of 56 European and Central Asian nations have been observing U.S. elections since 2002, without incident. Their presence has become a flash point this year, however, as Republicans accuse Democrats of voter fraud while Democrats counter that GOP-inspired voter ID laws aim to disenfranchise minority voters.

Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott further fueled the controversy on Tuesday when he sent a letter to the OSCE warning the organization that its representatives “are not authorized by Texas law to enter a polling place” and that it “may be a criminal offense for OSCE’s representatives to maintain a presence within 100 feet of a polling place's entrance.”

Bravo, Attorney General Abbott! Thank you for standing up for American sovereignty, the superiority of American law, and all that!

A polite warning to OSCE thugs seems in order: Although US President Obama is a quiche-eating wuss who hates America as much, or more, than you do, the American people are about to send this incompetent community organizer back to Illinois, Hawaii, or Kenya--as an unemployed victim of his own failures!

Further, we do not agree with Obama’s hysterical willingness to serve up American sovereignty to a bunch of socialist pansies!

In plain English: “Don’t Mess with Texas!”

Obama Cool, Calm, and Collected? BULL****!


                                                         "Potty Mouthed POTUS!


By John W. Lillpop



As anyone who watched the last presidential debate knows all too well, Barack Obama’s image as cool, calm, and collected has been exposed as another fairy tale myth about this mostly-mythical community organizer.

In fact, during the debate Obama was petty, defensive, irritable, and angry. He could be described as an  angry black male, with hardly a trace of cool, calm  or collected to be seen.

Furthermore, in recent days, Obama’s seething anger at the prospect of being sent to the unemployment line on November 6 is becoming more and more obvious by his “colorful” language.

As reported at the reference, Obama’s legndary “cool” is giving way to “potty mouth”:


President Obama sat for an interview with Rolling Stone for next month's issue and Playbook has the first look at the story by Douglas Brinkley:
"We arrived at the Oval Office for our 45-minute interview … on the morning of October 11th. … As we left the Oval Office, executive editor Eric Bates told Obama that he had asked his six-year-old if there was anything she wanted him to say to the president. … [S]he said, ‘Tell him: You can do it.’ Obama grinned. … ‘You know, kids have good instincts,’ Obama offered. ‘They look at the other guy and say, “Well, that’s a bullsh---er, I can tell.”’”

So, when it comes to Obama’s legendary “cool and calm” demeanor, this reporter says, BULL****!

"Termination of Employment" Notice for Barack Obama

Satire by John W. Lillpop




Although the Obama administration is openly encouraging defense contractors to violate the WARN act by NOT issuing layoff notices to employees who may be terminated as a result of Sequestration-driven cutbacks, common sense and decency suggest that those who are likely to lose their employment should be notified of such eventuality as soon as possible.

Which is why this reporter believes that President Obama should be alerted to the fact that his continued presence on the government payroll  is very much in dispute.

We believe that the president should receive the following 90-day notice, backdated to October 20 as soon as possible:
October 20, 2012

The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue
Washington, D.C.

Attention: Barack Obama

Dear Mr. President:

Although this notice is not required by WARN or any other Congressional mandate, common decency and transparency demand that we advise you that your employment with the US government is in serious jeopardy, and may very well be terminated by We the People on November 6, 2012.

Should your employment, in fact, be terminated, you will have until January 20, 2013 to remove your personal effects, and those of your family, from the Oval Office and residence at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

By law, the White House must be vacated and in shovel-ready status for the incoming President (Mitt William Romney) by high noon on January 20.

There is no appeals process: The decision of the American people is final.

Please return all White House keys and locks to the on-duty security guard outside the Oval office. Bring the nuclear football with you to the Inauguration of President-elect Romney.

We wish it were possible to report that the past four years have been a pleasure; however, the word honesty precludes us from doing so.

Best wishes to Michelle and the girls for the days and years to follow.

Sincerely,


WE THE PEOPLE

No Such Thing As Voter Fraud? James O'Keefe Begs to Differ!







By John W. Lillpop

According to Attorney General Eric Holder and way too many other Democrats, there is no such thing as voter fraud. To such people, voter ID laws are thinly disguised attempts at voter suppression by Republicans looking to prevent minorities from voting.

Meanwhile, James O’Keefe and his world-famous undercover camera seems to have collected solid evidence to the contrary, including the video below which appears to expose the son of Virginia Rep. Jim Moran (and the Field Director for his father's campaign), talking to an undercover reporter about how to allegedly cast ballots deceitfully for registered voters:

Did I mention that Congressman Moran is a Democrat?

Obama-Bats Threaten to Assassinate Mitt Romney If Elected!







By John W. Lillpop

Stoked by mainstream media and Democrat politicans, some Obama-bats are threatening to murder Mitt Romney should the Republican win the White House two weeks from now.

As reported at the reference, the Secret Service is investigating:



Despite the issue garnering a significant amount of media interest as well as the attention of the Secret Service, Obama supporters continued their threats to riot and assassinate Mitt Romney if Obama loses in the aftermath of last night’s presidential debate.

As we reported last week, Twitter has been flooded recently with violent comments from Obama supporters. The increase in volume of the comments seemed to coincide with Romney’s poll numbers edging higher against Obama.

Not only have Obama voters been making open threats that they will riot and cause mayhem, they have also been caught making direct threats to assassinate Mitt Romney, prompting the Secret Service to announce that it was “aware” of the threats and would “conduct appropriate follow up if necessary.”

Despite the fact that the media reported extensively on threats made against Obama prior to the 2008 election, their silence on the threats made against Romney has been deafening. Indeed, the act of a few old guys hanging up empty chairs in reference to Clint Eastwood’s RNC speech garnered substantially more coverage and concern from the press compared to hundreds if not thousands of tweets threatening violence against Mitt Romney.

Americans who simply display political signs expressing opposition to Obama’s policies have been treated as potential violent threats by authorities in the past, and yet not a single Twitter user has faced retribution for making direct and sometimes graphic death threats against Romney.

Leftists routinely cry foul and attempt to demonize conservatives as violent extremists whenever online rhetoric gets heated, and yet when their own engage in even worse conduct, their behavior is absolved and the media is disinterested.

Before the Secret Service announced they were investigating the threats, Obama front group Think Progress attempted to imply that the whole story was somehow a racist contrivance dreamed up by the Drudge Report and Infowars.”



Meanwhile, nut balls like Chris Matthews and other lefties continue to proliferate the hatred by accusing anyone opposed to Obama’s policies of being racist!

Whatever happed to the “Post racial” presidency?b bAnother Obama broken promise?

Reverend Billy Graham Makes Peace With Mormonism!





By John W. Lillpop



Mitt Romney is a faithful, devout Mormon. That choice has been a cause of some concern among evangelical Christians who label Mormonism as a cult.

Reverend Billy Graham, a powerful and influential Christian, has made peace with Mormonism as reported at reference 1:

“The prominent Christian evangelist Billy Graham has taken public steps to embrace Mitt Romney for president this week, removing Romney’s Mormon religion from a list of cults on his web site and taking out an advertisement that appears to urge people to vote for Romney.

Graham’s Evangelistic Association removed the word Mormon from its web site, where it used to be listed along with Jehovah’s Witnesses and Scientology as a cult.

The move comes just a week after Romney visited Graham at his home in North Carolina.

“Our primary focus at the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association has always been promoting the Gospel of Jesus Christ,” Ken Barun, chief of staff for the association, wrote in a statement. “We removed the information from the web site because we do not wish to participate in a theological debate about something that has become politicized during this campaign.”

Graham’s organization also took out an ad in the Wall Street Journal today, in which a letter from Graham asks people to vote for socially-conservative candidates.

“As I approach my 94th birthday, I realize this election may be my last,” Graham says in the ad. “I believe it is vitally important that we cast our ballots for candidates who base their decisions on biblical principles and support the nation of Israel. I urge you to vote for those who protect the sanctity of life and support the biblical definition of marriage between a man and a woman.”

The ad does not specifically endorse Romney, but Romney opposes abortion in most cases and is opposed to same sex marriages.

Graham has never endorsed a presidential candidate.”

The move by Reverend Graham is welcome news and should help to end the reign of the devil incarnate now squatting in the White House!

Obama, the Choice of Marxists, Dictators!



By John W. Lillpop



As patriotic Americans learn the truth about Barack Obama and Mitt Romney, polls indicate a strong shift toward Romney.

According to Gallup, Romney now enjoys a seven-point lead; other polls show a much tighter race.

Meanwhile Marxists and dictators are endorsing Obama and his Marxist policies. As reported at the reference:
The latest [dictator] to publicly announce his support for the commander-in-chief’s reelection bid was Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez, who this week assured he’d vote for Obama if he were from the United States. The America-bashing strongman made the announcement on state-owned television, saying “Obama is a good guy” and that if Obama was from Caracas, he’d surely return the favor by voting for Chavez.

Earlier in the year the government-official daughter of Cuban military dictator Raul Castro proclaimed her country’s support for Obama during a visit to the U.S. “I believe that Obama needs another opportunity and he needs greater support to move forward with his projects and with his ideas, which I believe come from the bottom of his heart,” Mariela Castro said during a cable news interview. ...

That brings us to Russia’s Vladimir Putin, who has eliminated most elections in his country, monopolized all major media and destroyed the political party system. ... In a letter to a major newspaper, the president of a group dedicated to expanding freedom around the world points out that under Putin there has been an “across-the-board crackdown on civil society.” The piece goes on to ask: “Will Obama stand up against Putin’s abuses?”

Unlikely, now that the Russian dictator has extended his endorsement.”
Clearly, enemies of the United States prefer a weak, anti-American wussie in the Oval Office--one who hates America as much as they do.

Which is why they love Barack!
