Obama’s “Red Line” Replaced by White Flag!



By John W. Lillpop

As everyone knows, Barack Obama is NOT a courageous man who is committed to defending the American people and the American republic.

His disdain for the rule of law and the Constitution has caused Obama to engage in high crimes and misdemeanors, which could ultimately lead to his removal from office.

Obama’s most recent act of defiance against the Constitution appeared to be his threat to take unilateral action against Syria, with out approval from the US Congress or the United Nations.

Thus, the stage was set for an epic battle between the rule of law and our Outlaw president who claims to be a Constitutional scholar, but whom acts as though the Constitution is his personal toy, a powerful tool that can be interpreted, and or ignored, at his behest and whim to conform to his leftist political agenda-- without the need to consult or heed Congress.

However, Obama’s egregious plans took a major hit when he lost the support of Great Britain, America’s most reliable ally.

Finally, The One came to realize that he is NOT all knowing, not omnipotent, and NOT always right.

Thus, the famous Red Line was replaced by a White Flag to formalize Obama’s latest foible as documented in the reference:


President Barack Obama said Saturday he is prepared to take military action if necessary against Syria for the alleged use of chemical weapons against its own people, but said he will seek authorization from Congress before moving forward.


This menace must be confronted," Mr. Obama vowed in an address from the White House Rose Garden, arguing for using force to punish the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. Not acting, he said, "risks making a mockery of the global prohibition on the use of chemical weapons."

"I'm ready to act in the face of this outrage. Today I am asking Congress to send a message to the world that we are ready to move forward together as one nation," Mr. Obama said.

The president has faced criticism on the political left and right, with some lawmakers arguing against a military response and others demanding more information about any U.S. mission in advance of a presidential order. House Speaker John Boehner (R., Ohio), in particular, had pushed Mr. Obama to consult with Congress about his plans for military action.

Mr. Obama said he's talked with leaders in Congress and they've agreed to schedule a debate on using force as soon as they return from their August recess on Sept. 9, though lawmakers could be called back earlier.

The president said the effectiveness of any U.S. military strike, which he vowed would be limited, is "not time sensitive."

"It could be effective tomorrow, or next week or one month from now," Mr. Obama said. He said he is aware that the United Nations and some countries may not agree with his decision. He said he's prepared to go forward without their approval.

Not acting, he said, could lead to an escalation of chemical-weapons use and embolden countries that are seeking to build nuclear weapons.

Mr. Obama's comments follow a week of high tensions about whether the U.S. would strike Syria. And it comes after the administration made a public argument for a forceful American response and took the unusual step of making public evidence from the intelligence community that it had "high confidence" the Assad regime deployed chemical weapons against civilians on Aug. 21.”

Once again, Barack Obama has shown that he excels at backing down and surrendering, especially when his precious legacy is imperiled.


This time his retreat seems to be in the national interest!

Unclench YOUR Fist, Mr. President!


By John W. Lillpop

As President Obama inches ever closer to a unilateral strike against Syria, without UN or US Congressional support, and without America’s most reliable ally, the British, following in puppy-dog obedience, The One finds himself in an awful quandary, entirely of his own making.

For it is Obama, not former President George W. Bush, who is now obsessed with Weapons of Mass Destruction, such obsession driving Obama to issue a “red line” threat to the Syrians more than a year ago as reported at the reference.

On August 20, 2012, Obama said:

“We have been very clear to the Assad regime, but also to other players on the ground, that a red line for us is we start seeing a whole bunch of chemical weapons moving around or being utilized. That would change my calculus,” Obama said. “That would change my equation. We’re monitoring that situation very carefully. We have put together a range of contingency plans.”

Of course that statement came in the middle of a presidential political campaign in which The One was anxious to prove that he was tough enough to warrant a second term as Commander-In-Chief.

Unfortunately, Obama’s “red line” threat was apparently seen as little more than campaign rhetoric by Syria who, just one year later, on August 21, 2013, defied Obama with a chemical attack that Secretary of State John Kerry has described as "the indiscriminate slaughter of civilians" in the suburbs of Damascus...”

Having failed to frighten or convince anyone, other than mindless Democrat voters with his smooth-talking campaign drivel, The One is now posturing to save face by risking a third world war in order to punish Syria for challenging the power and authority of the self-anointed Messiah from Chicago.

The One is now threatening a “limited” war, just to show the recalcitrant Syrians that he will not be defied---Allah notwithstanding!

Obama’s ability to wage unilateral war may be Unconstitutional and a “moral obscenity,” but it almost certainly will not be limited.

In order to be limited, the people that Obama would punish must endure an onslaught of Tomahawk missiles without fighting back.

Indeed, Obama’s naïve plans for a “Limited” assault could spin out of control, and rile the Russians, the Chinese, and other evil men into a regional war, or even Word War 111.

Before acting impulsively and without considering the unintended consequences of a face-saving war, The One should consider his own words from March of 2009 in which he preached to the Iranian people as reported at reference 2:


"So in this season of new beginnings I would like to speak clearly to Iran's leaders," Mr Obama said in the video. "We have serious differences that have grown over time. My administration is now committed to diplomacy that addresses the full range of issues before us, and to pursuing constructive ties among the US, Iran and the international community."


At his inauguration last month, the president said his administration would reach out to rival states, declaring "we will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your fist."

In his message, Mr Obama also stated, “We seek instead engagement that is honest and grounded in mutual respect.”


Well said, Mr. President!

Perhaps it is time for YOU to unclench your fist and cease those meaningless “red line” threats?

Obama: Haunted and Befuddled by the Ghost of W!



By John W. Lillpop

As President Barack Obama continues to dither, bob and weave, and tap dance around the serious issue of dealing with Muslim war mongers throughout Africa and the Middle East, his task is made all the more difficult because of his neurotic obsession with former President George W. Bush.

W.’s ghost has apparently taken up residence at the White House and visits with Obama each morning as the president shaves. During his early morning visits, Ghost Bush reminds Obama that attacking Syria, without Congressional or UN approval, and lacking any legitimate threat to the interests of the United States is both Unconstitutional and immoral.

Ghost Bush points out that his namesake secured appropriate approvals before invading Afghanistan and Iraq.
In the case of Iraq, W. proudly trumpeted his “Coalition of the Willing.”

Ghost Bush taunts The One further by asking, “What coalition of the willing” have you assembled, Mr. President? Judging from editorials in the press, recent polls, and numerous negative statements from folks like Senator John McCain and others, your Coalition consists of only yourself.

Even the British have announced a reversal of their passion for the Obama war.”

Clearly, Mr. President, this has the potential to be another huge foreign policy failure, nearly as onerous as the Obamacare mess that is just weeks away.

Which brings up another point: Won’t commanding a war, which could escalate into World War 111, interfere with your ability to implement the ghastly Obamacare war on the American people here at home?

You also face challenges on the budget, debt ceiling and immigration.

Face it sir, you simply do not have time to waste on a silly middle-east war! And do not forget the sequestration bug which has decimated the military and limited your war-making options!

All in all sir, W. thinks your best option would be to just punt the Syrian mess. Justify your action by referring to awful war mistakes made by W. and the budget fiasco that Republicans have created!

Just say no to war, Barack! Do it in honor of that silly, undeserved Nobel Peace prize that you received in 2009!

Do it to affirm your most important legacy item of all as the Non-Bush president!

Since Obeying the Law Is Optional Under Obama, When It Comes to ObamaCare, LET’S JUST SAY NO!






By John W. Lillpop


From failure to comply with the War Powers Act, to ignoring and subverting border security and immigration laws, to using the IRS against political adversaries, to illegal spying on American citizens, to Fast and Furious gun running, to unlawful actions against conservative reporters, to continued foreign aid to Egypt despite the military coup there, to recess appointment violations, and scores of other serious high crimes and misdemeanors, President Barack Obama has treated the rule of law with utter contempt and disrespect.

Obama’s legal doctrine can be summarized as follows: The rule of law is sacrosanct…unless the president disagrees with the law, in which case the law becomes optional, at the whim and whimsy of the most tyrannical president in US history and his army of leftist outlaws.

That being the case, one wonders why any American blessed with relatively sound mind and body would even consider enrolling in the Marxist train wreck disparagingly known as Obamacare?

Why would one act against his or her own best interests when the person whom is sworn, by oath, to be the nation’s chief law enforcer pursues a far-left agenda and goofy ideology even when that agenda is completely contrary to law?

As Republicans fight each other over the best way to end the Obamacare nightmare in order to implement the wishes of the majority of Americans, it seems as though we the people the best leverage and greatest motivation for ending the Obama intrusion into 1/6th of the US economy.

To patriotic Americans, you have a unique opportunity to turn back tyranny and win one for liberty!

When October 1 arrives, let your intelligence and revolutionary spirit thrive: When it comes to Obamacare, JUST SAY NO!

When Did Labor Unions Go Republican, Mr. President?



By John W. Lillpop

In his weekly radio address, President Barack Obama sought to blame all of the woes facing his Marxist health care scam on Republicans in Congress.

According to the President, Republicans, by trying to avoid a devastating “train wreck” that a new entitlement would bring to future generations of already- bankrupt Americans, are nothing but obstructionists to his loopy progressive nonsense.

As reported at reference 1:
President Obama on Saturday offered one of his strongest defenses to date of his signature domestic achievement, lambasting Republican critics of his health care law as obstructionists who are playing politics with the well-being and economic security of millions of Americans.

In blunt terms, Mr. Obama used his weekly address to describe health insurance as a “right” and distinguished states that have embraced his law against those that have not.

He said the Affordable Care Act is already helping young adults stay on their parents’ health plans and offering free preventative care.

“But there’s also a group of Republicans in Congress working hard to confuse people, and making empty promises that they’ll either shut down the health care law, or, if they don’t get their way, they’ll shut down the government,” he said.

“Think about that,” he added. “They’re actually having a debate between hurting Americans who will no longer be denied affordable care just because they’ve been sick — and harming the economy and millions of Americans in the process. And many Republicans are more concerned with how badly this debate will hurt them politically than they are with how badly it’ll hurt the country.”

His defense of the law comes less than two months before state-by-state insurance markets, or “exchanges,” start to enroll Americans without employer-based insurance who may buy coverage with the help of government subsidies.”

Obama’s fact-starved defense of his legacy accomplishment ignores the fact that some of the harshest criticism of his namesake law emanates from comrades on the very far left, namely, big labor unions.

As reported at reference 2:

Labor unions are among the key institutions responsible for the passage of Obamacare. They spent tons of money electing Democrats to Congress in 2006 and 2008, and fought hard to push the health law through the legislature in 2009 and 2010. But now, unions are waking up to the fact that Obamacare is heavily disruptive to the health benefits of their members.

Last Thursday, representatives of three of the nation’s largest unions fired off a letter to Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi, warning that Obamacare would “shatter not only our hard-earned health benefits, but destroy the foundation of the 40 hour work week that is the backbone of the American middle class.”

The letter was penned by James P. Hoffa, general president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters; Joseph Hansen, international president of the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union; and Donald “D.” Taylor, president of UNITE-HERE, a union representing hotel, airport, food service, gaming, and textile workers.

“When you and the President sought our support for the Affordable Care Act,” they begin, “you pledged that if we liked the health plans we have now, we could keep them.

Sadly, that promise is under threat…We have been strong supporters of the notion that all Americans should have access to quality, affordable health care. We have also been strong supporters of you. In campaign after campaign we have put boots on the ground, gone door-to-door to get out the vote, run phone banks and raised money to secure this vision. Now this vision has come back to haunt us.”

The union leaders are concerned that Obamacare’s employer mandate drives smaller companies to shift their workers to part-time status, because employers are not required to provide health coverage to part-time workers. “We have a problem,” they write, and “you need to fix it.”

“The unintended consequences of the ACA are severe,” they continue. “Perverse incentives are causing nightmare scenarios. First, the law creates an incentive for employers to keep employees’ work hours below 30 hours a week. Numerous employers have begun to cut workers’ hours to avoid this obligation, and many of them are doing so openly. The impact is two-fold: fewer hours means less pay while also losing our current health benefits.”

Clearly, big labor is not impressed with the fact that ObamaCare will add 30 million uninsured to the rolls of the insured AND, in the process, reduce health care costs!

And what about the fact that Obama has personally carried the bitter water that exempts Congress critters and their overpaid, under worked staffs from the ravages of Obamacare?

What about the fact that elements of Obamacare have been delayed by Obama to avoid the political fall out likely in 2014?

Still, the labor union experience is a trove of invaluable experience for would-be socialists: Namely, Socialism is cool, except when compared to the fruit of free markets!

Not Recognizing Oprah: Is It RACISM?



By John W. Lillpop

At a time when unemployment and poverty are running rampant in the US, especially among African-Americans, one would suppose that the richest, most powerful woman on the planet would be grateful for her good fortune and privileged station.

That supposition would be dead wrong when it comes to billionaire Oprah Winfrey, the powerful lady who always keeps an eager eye out for racism and succeeds in finding it, even when it is not there.

One gets the sense that Oprah actually delights in finding something racist to bitch about!


The latest Oprah indignity comes to us from Zurich, Switzerland where a snotty sales clerk had the nerve to deny Oprah’s request to fondle a $35,000 purse.

With her laser-like vision for detecting racism, or even the vaguest hint thereof, Oprah immediately sensed a racial putdown as she described:


Oprah said: “I was in Zurich the other day, in a store whose name I will not mention. I didn’t have my eyelashes on, but I was in full Oprah Winfrey gear. I had my little Donna Karan skirt and my little sandals. But obviously ‘The Oprah Winfrey Show’ is not shown in Zurich.

“I go into a store and I say to the woman, ‘Excuse me, could I see the bag right above your head?’ and she says to me, ‘No. It’s too expensive.’”

The saleswoman went on to suggest she look at cheaper bags. ‘I left the store but it proves that racism is still an issue,’ Oprah added.”

Oh my God, the indignity!

How in the world can any living, breathing intelligent human NOT recognize, and pay homage to, the great and powerful Oprah, omnipotent billionaire queen of daytime TV?

Clearly, the upper-end purse market in Switzerland is a haven for racist bigots, probably descendants from old,
white Republicans whom have migrated from the US South!

No doubt sensitivity training will be required to tame those racist yearnings. Crash viewing of the “Oprah Winfrey Show” reruns would provide a modest start.

Once Oprah returned to America, she was quick to make known her view that the Trayvon Martin case was another example of racism at work here in the homeland.

As reported at the reference:

Responding to a question about the juror in the George Zimmerman trial who thought race was not a part of the case at all, Winfrey said, “A lot of people, if they think they’re not using the ‘n- word’ themselves, they actually, physically are not using the ‘n-word’ themselves and do not harbor ill will towards black people, that it’s not racist. But, you know, to me it’s ridiculous to look at that case and not to think that race was involved.”

Forget the fact that the FBI determined that race was NOT a factor. In Oprah’s race-tainted mind, the only thing that matters is that a black person was killed by a non-black. Which means it HAD TO BE ABOUT RACE!

Oprah’s rants about race are growing old and tiresome. She needs to remove her bias and try a diet of humility and modesty!

Egypt to Outlaw Muslim Brotherhood? Why Not Here, Barack?



By John W. Lillpop


Perhaps common sense is still a viable option in war-ravaged Egypt, after all. That seems possible given reports that those responsible for the non-coup there are considering making Muslim Brotherhood extremists illegal.

As reported at the reference:


CAIRO (AP) — Egyptian authorities are considering disbanding the Muslim Brotherhood group, a government spokesman said Saturday, once again outlawing a group that held the pinnacle of government power just more than a month earlier.

The announcement comes after security forces broke up two sit-in protests this week by those calling for the reinstatement of President Mohammed Morsi, a Brotherhood leader deposed in a July 3 coup. The clashes killed more than 600 people that day and sparked protests and violence that killed 173 people Friday alone.

Cabinet spokesman Sherif Shawki said that Prime Minister Hazem el-Beblawi, who leads the military-backed government, assigned the Ministry of Social Solidarity to study the legal possibilities of dissolving the group. He didn't elaborate.

The Muslim Brotherhood group, founded in 1928, came to power a year ago when its Morsi was elected in the country's first free presidential elections. The election came after the overthrow of autocrat Hosni Mubarak in a popular uprising in 2011.

The fundamentalist group has been banned for most of its 80-year history and repeatedly subjected to crackdowns under Mubarak's rule. While sometimes tolerated and its leaders part of the political process, members regularly faced long bouts of imprisonment and arbitrary detentions.”

Meanwhile, back at Martha’s Vineyard, President Barack Obama maintains a full schedule of golfing, swimming, and denial concerning events on the Nile, while huddling with fellow Democrats to add 11 million invading Mexicans to the Democrat Party base through amnesty and other sleight of hand nonsense reminiscent of the manner by which the doomed ObamaCare mess was passed through Congress.

Just as the Egyptian people do not need to be burdened with the Muslim Brotherhood, so it is that bankrupt America does not need to add 11 million non-English speaking illegal aliens.

Just Say NO! to both the Muslim Brotherhood and the illegal Aliens from Mexico!

Another “Inevitability” Gig for the Hildabeast?







By John W. Lillpop


Seems like just yesterday that the mainstream media, in its gratuitous fawning over Hillary Rodham Clinton, bestowed on her lying head the Bad Journalism Seal of Approval, and designation as the “Inevitable” heir to the US Presidency.

Even though her disapproval numbers hovered near 50 percent, Hillary’s liberal credentials, coupled with her mindless adoration of, and groveling before Slick Willie, the immoral perjurer who just happened to be president number 40 and Hillary’s SINO (Spouse In Name Only) entitled Hillary to be the first female president in the history of the Republic, so said the media.

Having so decided, dodo heads at liberal terrorist outlets throughout the nation (CNN, New York Times, LA Times) set out to convince everyday Americans that Hillary Clinton was the best and brightest to replace the insufferable George W. Bush, owner of a second-rate mind and an insatiable appetite for invading Muslim nations in order to protect and defend NOT the interests of the American people, but rather, the liquid assets (Oil) of rich, white cowboys from Texas.

This was mid-2007, just months before “THE ONE” emerged from the streets of Chicago with vague, nebulous promises of “Hope and Change” that would eventually overwhelm the Hildabeast and convert her inevitability blanket into a rain check.

Barack Hussein Obama was a certified liberal with a socialist/communist resume that made Hillary look like a right-wing conspiracy agitator in comparison. He was a real lefty who hated America and vowed to change everything about it if elected.
Best of all, Obama was BLACK-- Clean and articulate, with no Negro dialect, and no substantial record to defend.

Perfect, said the mainstream moguls! A black commie who looks and sounds white, except for what he says, whatever the hell that was!

In short order, Hillary’s “Inevitability” had been involuntarily transferred from her cold calculating hands to the precocious head of Barack Obama, who although not known as a congenital liar, was from the streets of Chicago where a Gangsta education gave him sufficient fondness for corruption and vice to qualify as a good Democrat with a bright future in Washington, DC.

The rest is, as they say, is history.

With the help of the New Black Panther Party, ACORN fraud, lap-dog servants in the media, and disgusting treachery that one would expect from a third-world Latin banana republic, The One defrocked the Hildabeast, dumped her tarnished “Inevitability” into a dumpster, and began his wretched odyssey to destroy the greatest society known to the human species.

Having all but destroyed America, Barack is content with supporting Hillary in 2016, so that the dismantling of our Democracy can be finished and made final.

Count Barack Obama among those who see another “Inevitability” gig for Hillary Rodham Clinton!

ObamaCare May Be Constitutional—But, Still Totally Sucks!




By John W. Lillpop


As Obamacare continues to turn America’s health care system into a gigantic sink hole which affirms the utter and complete uselessness of big government, one is stuck by the pertinent question: What the hell did you expect?

After all, ObamaCare is the brain child of a naïve, untalented Marxist who literally hates the concepts of free markets and capitalism.

Mind you, he does not understand them, but he has been brainwashed into hating wealth and power held by anyone other than his egomaniacal self.

Indeed, The One believes that government is supposed to protect citizens, and illegal aliens as well, from the ravages of those who seek profit for providing services and goods which, he believes, are the birthright of all who can still breath, and might soon be able to, sans those slated for extermination by pro-choice baby killers.

Adding to the power of Obama’s delusional dementia is the fact that we the people installed a Congress headed by ultra-liberals Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi, neither of whom has the good sense to come in out of the rain, much less run 1/6th of the US economy.

Nancy Pelosi famously declared that Obamacare had to be passed so that we could find out what is in it! And she was actually Speaker of the US House?

Are you serious? Only because she ran in San Francisco, was Pelosi able to sneak into the US Congress!

Well, Nancy, now we know and everyone is aghast that this train wreck could actually be the law!

ObamaCare is soooooooo bad that even labor unions, once proud advocates of the unchecked tyranny tandem of Obama-Biden, now scream that Obamacare will bring ruin to organized labor.

Dare we say, we told you so?

To Big Labor: Take your bloody crying towels and uninsured millions to Nancy Pelosi’s mansion in San Francisco or to Obama’s $7.6 million luxury vacation palace in Martha’s Vineyard, or to Harry Reid’s hiding place in the back rooms of Las Vegas gambling houses!
Democrats: You own Obamacare, and you deserve to!

Praise be to the Lord that not even one Republican voted to enact the wretched bull**** known as ObamaCare!

Judge Nixes “Messiah” Moniker for Baby: Judicial Overreach, or Proper Respect?




By John W. Lillpop

Just how much leeway should a judge have in the personal life of free Americans?

In Tennessee, the answer appears to be “One Hell of a Lot!” as reported at the reference:



(
WBIR-Newport) A Newport mother is appealing a court's decision after a judge ordered her son's name be changed from "Messiah."

Jaleesa Martin and the father of Messiah could not agree on a last name, which is how they ended up at a child support hearing in Cocke County Chancery Court on Thursday.

That is when the first name came into question.

Child Support Magistrate Lu Ann Ballew serves the 4th Judicial District of Tenn. including the following counties: Cocke, Grainger, Jefferson, and Sevier.

The name change was part of Judge Ballew's case; however, the parents did not think the first name would be changed.

Judge Ballew ordered the 7-month-old's name be "Martin DeShawn McCullough." It includes both parent's last names but leaves out Messiah.

"The word Messiah is a title and it's a title that has only been earned by one person and that one person is Jesus Christ," Judge Ballew said.

Martin responded saying, "I was shocked. I never intended on naming my son Messiah because it means God and I didn't think a judge could make me change my baby's name because of her religious beliefs."

According to Judge Ballew, it is the first time she has ordered a first name change. She said the decision is best for the child, especially while growing up in a county with a large Christian population.

"It could put him at odds with a lot of people and at this point he has had no choice in what his name is," Judge Ballew said.

Martin's two older children are named Micah and Mason. She liked how the name Messiah sounded alongside the other two siblings and thought it was unique.

"Everybody believes what they want so I think I should be able to name my child what I want to name him, not someone else," Martin said.

Judge Ballew said the parents will have to change the name on the birth certificate.

However, Martin is appealing the judge's decision. It will go before the Cocke County Chancellor on Sept. 17.”


Just who in the hell is Lu Ann Ballew to DICTATE the naming of a seven-month old baby in defiance of the wishes of the natural parents?

With a name like Lu Ann Ballew the judge should worry about her own silly name and leave important decisions about the baby to its parents!

Despicable President Threatens Veteran Benefits, But Will Fund Muslim Brotherhood, Illegal Aliens!




By John W. Lillpop

Gallup polling recently reported that President Obama’s approval rating has dropped to 41%, presumably most of whom are lazy louts living on the government teat and NEVER working.

Sort of like The One himself.

Speculation on just how low this corrupt liar can go must be reset to take into account Obama’s latest despicable act of war against the brave heroes who have given so much for the nation in times of war.

We speak of military veterans, that neglected class of patriots who obey the law, pay their taxes, and give more than their fair share for preservation of the American way of life.

In the latest episode of fear mongering against American heroes, Barack Obama threatened to use sequestration---a notion which he originated---to slice benefits paid to veterans.

All in the name of political gamesmanship from the man who promised hope and change, but who has delivered shock and awe to real Americans!

As reported at the reference:

President Obama took his case for ending the sequester to hundreds of disabled veterans Saturday, saying he protected their benefits from the “reckless” cuts to the federal budget but suggesting next year might be different.

“It’s hurting our military. I made it clear that your veteran’s benefits are exempt from this year’s sequester,” the president said to the applause of hundreds at the Disabled American Veterans’ convention in Orlando, Fla. “But I want to tell you going forward the best way to protect the VA care you have earned is to get rid of this sequester altogether.”

The president but the blame squarely on Congress, which returns in about four weeks to work on a new federal budget and increasing the federal debt limit.

“We’ve got these reckless, across-the-board budget cuts called the sequester that are hitting a lot of folks hard,” Obama said. “Congress needs to come together and agree on a responsible plan that reduces our deficit and keeps our promises to our veterans and keeps our promises to future generations.”

So, Mr. President, just who in the hell came up with the sequestration racket in the first place? Oops, you say it was forced upon you by recalcitrant Republicans?

And just who in the hell is behind the idea of sending billions of precious—but devalued—American dollars to buoy the Muslim brother hood in Egypt?

And who in the hell just wasted $100 million to send the First Family on a boondoggle to Mother Africa?

How many billions will your idiotic “Amnesty for votes” campaign cost American taxpayers?

Based on common sense and American fairness values—commodities to which you obviously do not subscribe—it would seem that your spending priorities are dead wrong for America! AS Always!

Let’s stop the stupid attack on worthy veterans and instead cut wasteful spending on Islam and Mexican illegal aliens!

Sir!

Listen Up, RINOs: America Don’t Need No Stinkin’ Amnesty!








by John W. Lillpop

With all due respect to RINOs who voted for amnesty in the US Senate, members of the US House still considering amnesty, and the Mexican underwriters for all of the aforementioned:

America does NOT need immigration reform, comprehensive or skimpy, or anything in between!

What this nation desperately needs is a President and Congress that will apply due diligence on behalf of America and American citizens, rather than working solely for huge U.S. corporations, illegal aliens, and the Mexican government.

In other words, Barack Obama can solve the immigration nightmare overnight by simply living up to his constitutional responsibility to defend America “against all enemies, foreign and domestic.”

Or to put it more succinctly, Mr. President secure our borders and enforce existing immigration laws. Period!

Forget about “comprehensive” reform, which, as everyone knows, is nothing more than code-speak for amnesty.

Barack Obama is reportedly a student of history. Perhaps he would benefit by boning up on recent immigration history.

Namely:


In 1986, the United States adopted the Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) (Simpson-Mazzoli Act, IRCA, and Pub. L. 99-603, Nov. 6, 1986, 100 Stat. 3359). Go here:

IRCA was enacted to reduce illegal immigration, which was a problem for the American economy. Three million illegal aliens were granted amnesty as a result of IRCA.

The new law would have worked--if it had been enforced. Unfortunately, both Democrat and Republican administrations have failed (refused?) to enforce the IRCA.

As a result, twenty-seven years later America is saddled with upwards of an additional 20 million illegal aliens.

Most distressing is the fact that the “surge” from south of the border continues unabated, in spite of 9/11 and the threat posed by terrorists.

Apparently the US government would have the American people believe that securing the borders 8,000 miles from home is vital to U.S. homeland security, but that securing our own borders is not?

And how can that be, Mr. President?

Is it because, in your mind, illegal aliens are “good hearted, hard working folks” simply looking for a better life?

And does that description also apply to the scores of millions of third-world peasants still in Mexico and other Latin nations, thinking of heading north to America?

All are good hearted and hard working? Without a single Jihadist, or potential terrorist, in their midst?

The 1986-amnesty disaster proves that America needs secured borders and rigid enforcement of our laws.

Or, to put the issue in terms even most illegal aliens could understand:

America don’t need no stinkin’ immigration reform!

Jobs? With Plethora of Food Stamps, Welfare, and Disability, Who Needs Them?





By John W. Lillpop


While campaigning for the US Presidency, Barack Obama promised to “fundamentally transform” America, even though America is, and has been for more than 230 years, the most prosperous, freest, greatest, success story in human history!

Damn near every person from every corner of the globe clamors to share in the American dream, YET Barack Obama wants to fundamentally transform that which is so highly coveted?

Why would anyone, with even modest intellectual insight, propose to change this blessed nation which, as is, offers the greatest hope for material, spiritual, intellectual, emotional, and moral fulfillment in the entire universe?

Emphasis on as is, please!

For, it is irrefutable that America don’t need no “stinkin” transformation, especially from a low-information, misguided community organizer who believes that borders, language, culture, and traditional family values are passe relics passed down by heathen to keep people of color in inferior stations, presumably in line with the wishes of a white Christian deity.

How much better, the One reasons, for the poor, dispirited, disenfranchised, and illegal if America were to embrace the tenants of Communism where all, except the transparency-shielded elite, are equal?

Albeit, equally impoverished; but, after all, sacrifice is the mother’s milk of utopian paradise! Right?

Unless, that is, one is privileged enough to vacation at an $7 million plus luxury mansion on Martha’s Vineyard, while the less privileged are forced to convert garbage dumpsters into home-sweet-homes? (See http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/trending-now/man-converts-nyc-dumpster-home-185108416.html).

After all, the splendor and comfort of Martha’s Vineyard is but the perfect venue for celebrating the latest Summer of Recovery brought home by the Marxist tyranny of job-killing taxes, wasteful spending, and deficit-neutral denial; all mainstays of the only administration in US history to deliberately, and with malice, work to pummel the middle class while claiming to be its greatest advocate!

According to the Obama doctrine, persistently high unemployment and low economic growth are NOT necessarily demonic or inherently bad:

Mitigating circumstances include the fact that low growth means less wealth hijacked to the coffers of evil business owners and the filthy rich.

As far as jobs are concerned, please remember that monies earned from honest work are being replaced in full by government-sponsored explosions in food stamps, free cell phones, welfare, and funded disability claims, AND by the greatest entitlement of all, ObamaCare!

Jobs? Who needs them?

In the golden age of Obama, jobs are properly viewed as “old school” corporate slavery!

Baseball Commissioner Selig Transforms National Pastime to Used Car Lot!


By John W. Lillpop


Nobody has ever accused Bud Selig of being a snooty, aloof intellectual elitist. Rather, he is better known as an incompetent boob whose 15 minutes of fame were earned as a shyster on used car lots.

Still, despite Selig’s lack of professional credentials, the future of the once great game of major league baseball was placed in his shaky hands by the Lords of Baseball, also known as the owners, a greedy, disreputable lot if ever there was one.

Selig was a perfect fit for Commissioner because he, too, was an owner AND because the other owners wanted a clown prince who would do exactly as he was ordered, without fretting unnecessarily about the “best interests of the game,” whatever the hell that was.

So, in 1992, major league baseball crawled into the sewer and crowned Bud Selig Commissioner of Baseball.

Twenty-one excruciating years later, Selig has managed to transform the once great “game” of baseball into a scandal- scarred haven for drug abusers and cheaters and has eradicated all integrity from what was once hailed as America’s national pastime.

Under Selig’s bonehead leadership, the all-time homerun record, once the province of immortals like Babe Ruth and Hank Aaron, is the property of a convicted felon. Barry Bonds and his 762 home runs are tragic reminders of the awful damage that steroids and lying can do to honorable pursuits of the American dream.

Steroids is Affirmative Action administered via a needle! The idea is to level the playing field by destroying it, of which Commissioner Selig seems quite capable!

Thanks to the confounding ineptitude of Bud Selig, baseball cannot point with pride to the accomplishments of its all time home run leader OR its all-time hits leader, Pete Rose.

For a game that is so dependent on records and history, baseball is noteworthy for being unable to boast about some of its greatest players because of felony convictions and serious allegations about gambling.

Nice going, Bud. Well done for a used-car salesman without a clue!

What if Illegals Were Mostly “Gooks,” Senator McCain?




By John W. Lillpop


By virtue of his exemplary war record, Senator John McCain is a genuine American hero. No one can materially challenge his sterling record while in the service of our nation.

However, just as America has learned, most painfully, that a law degree from a prestigious university and a liberal-media created reputation as an intellectually-gifted Messiah does not qualify one to serve as President, so it is that being held captive as a prisoner-of-war for six years does not guarantee that one emerges with the judgment needed to serve with distinction in the US Senate.

The later certainly applies to Senator John McCain, (R-Arizona) particularly as pertains to the reprehensible amnesty bill passed in the US Senate. Amnesty would, if signed into law, reward criminals whom have ignored our borders and laws with the most coveted prize on the planet: US citizenship.

McCain’s credentials as a “conservative” were tarnished yet again by another dire warning from the Senator, the essence of which is that protecting American sovereignty and the rule of law is no longer required, or even encouraged.

As reported at the reference:


Sen. John McCain has a strong warning for Republicans: Falter on immigration reform and the party will lose in 2016.

“If we fail on immigration reform, it won't matter who our nominee is because of the polarization of the Hispanic vote,” McCain, R-Ariz., tells “The Fine Print.” “Now that's not why I'm for immigration reform but it certainly is one of the consequences of a failure.”

McCain’s surrender on this vital issue is astonishing given his wartime record while held captive by the enemy in Viet Nam for six years.

One must confront the Senator, “Sir, it is hard to believe that you suffered torture and humiliation in captivity so that foreign illegal aliens could invade our nation, ignore our laws, and steal public services, AND be rewarded for their criminality with US citizenship. With all due respect, that is NOT the American way!”


“Would your position be different if the invaders were “gooks,” Senator?”

Is Obama Birthday New Rallying Point for “Decimated” Al-Quaeda?



By John W. Lillpop


Despite the fact that President Obama and his paid deniers insist that Al-Quaeda has been decimated and is no longer a viable threat AND that the US is not at war with Islam, the State Department has issued a world wide alert of possible attacks from terrorist organizations.

As reported at the reference:

The
United States will temporarily shut down its embassies and consulates around the world Sunday -- including those in Iraq, Afghanistan and Egypt -- as a precautionary measure over terror-related concerns, State Department officials said.

State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf did not say how long the international installations would stay closed -- only that the decision was taken “out of an abundance of caution and care for our employees and others who may be visiting.”

Officials would not describe the nature of the threat.
Sunday is a normal workday in many Arab and Middle Eastern countries, meaning that is where the closures will have an impact. Embassies in Europe and Latin America would be shuttered that day anyway.

“We have instructed all U.S. embassies and consulates that would have normally been open on Sunday to suspend operations, specifically on August 4,” a senior State Department official said Thursday night. “It is possible we may have additional days of closing as well.”


Coincidentally, or not, Sunday is August 4th, birthday of US President Barack Obama.

Could it be that the terrorists have decided to answer Obama’s “decimated” label with a statement to the contrary on his birthday?

Is Obama Hiding Benghazi Survivors and Changing Their Names?



By John W. Lillpop

What if the only thing “Phony” about the Benghazi scandal is President Obama’s effort to get to the bottom of the terror attack and bring the perpetrators to justice?

If the story at the reference below is true, and proven to be so, Benghazi may end the careers of both Obama and Hillary Clinton in the least honorable way possible.

The story:


Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) was on with Greta Van Susteren Thursday to discuss the Obama scandals.

This came after Jake Tapper at CNN broke the news that there were “dozens” of CIA operatives on the ground in Benghazi on 9-11 when the consulate came under attack and the agency is going to great lengths to make sure whatever it was doing, remains a secret.

Gowdy told Greta the Obama Administration is hiding the survivors, dispersing them around the country, AND changing their names.

“Including changing names, creating aliases. Stop and think what things are most calculated to get at the truth? Talk to people with first-hand knowledge. What creates the appearance and perhaps the reality of a cover-up? Not letting us talk with people who have the most amount of information, dispersing them around the country and changing their names.”

See the youtube video below:

Again, if these allegations are proven true, America may be facing a constitutional crisis of epic proportions!

To Republicans in Congress: Do not waiver on this story! This may be the greatest incident of “high crimes and misdemeanors” in the history of the American Presidency!

Vladimir Putin Finishes Task of Neutering American Presidency




By John W. Lillpop

President Barack Obama has lost much of the adoration of the world community as a result of weak, indecisive, or just wrong headed policies which he has pursued over the past four plus years.

Once viewed as an omnipotent messiah figure with the vision and charisma to solve all problems, large and small, Obama has been whittled down to a clueless, in-over-his-head community organizer who more often than not makes things worse. Sort of like the confused fire fighter who uses gasoline in feeble attempts to extinguish fires.

The president’s failures are not fake, and are not just domestic issues promoted by a hostile GOP Congress.

Indeed, Obama’s impotence and tendency to fail has been brought into focus by Russia’s Vladimir Putin who ignored Obama’s plea for the return of Edward Snowden, opting instead to grant Snowden asylum in Russia for a year.

So, what the hell happened to the “Reset” of American-Russian relations Mr. President?


As reported at the reference:

MOSCOW — Brushing aside pleas and warnings from President Obama and other senior Americans, Russia granted Edward J. Snowden temporary asylum and allowed him to walk free out of a Moscow airport transit zone on Thursday despite the risk of a breach in relations with the United States.

Russia’s decision, which infuriated American officials, ended five weeks of legal limbo for Mr. Snowden, the former intelligence analyst wanted by the United States for leaking details of the National Security Agency’s surveillance programs, and opened a new phase of his legal and political odyssey.

Even as his leaks continued with new disclosures from the computer files he downloaded, Mr. Snowden now has legal permission to live — and conceivably even work — anywhere here for as long as a year, safely out of the reach of American prosecutors. Though some supporters expect him to seek permanent sanctuary elsewhere, possibly in Latin America, Mr. Snowden now has an international platform to continue defending his actions as a whistle-blower exposing wrongdoing by the American government.

In a statement issued by WikiLeaks, the antisecrecy organization that has been assisting him since he made his disclosures in June, Mr. Snowden thanked Russia for giving him permission to enter the country “in accordance with its laws and international obligations.” He accused the Obama administration of disregarding domestic and international law since his disclosures, but added that “in the end, the law is winning.”

And so is that Snowden is winning as well against the juvenile antics of the bungling amateur in the White House.

The big question: Can the Republic survive another 3+ years of Barack Obama before we re-set our government to a responsible mode?

Border Security in Senate Amnesty Bill Just More “Bait and Switch” Tomfoolery!



By John W. Lillpop


When the Gang of Eight modified the Senate Amnesty bill to include beefed-up security at the US-Mexico border, truly naïve folks, including some otherwise intelligent US Senators, decided to support the measure and, thus, it passed the US Senate.

The vote tally was Mexico 68, USA 32.

More cynical folks thought the added security measures were no more than bait and switch politics played by Democrats looking to grow the Democrat base, and enabled by foolish Republicans too blind to see the obvious.

After all, the last time a major immigration amnesty bill was approved, the Immigration Reform and Control Act(IRCA) in 1986, IRCA was supposed to end the devastating invasion of America from third-world Mexico and other impoverished Latin states. Americans were promised that the border would be secure and that employer sanctions and deportation policy would ensure that illegal aliens were kept out and or removed as soon as possible.

Twenty-seven years later, perhaps as many as 20 million additional invaders have come to America and taken up illegal residence. Enforcement of IRCA has been non-existent in both Republican and Democrat administrations.

This despite the fact that America was attacked on September 11, 2001, an attack that should have caused the borders to be sealed on September 12, 2001, and should have caused the Bush administration to immediately search out and forcibly remove the tens of millions of invaders whom we knew (and still) know nothing about.

Instead, George W. Bush was infatuated with the notion that illegal aliens were “good hearted, hard-working” folks who, despite their criminal antics, deserved a break.

Barack Obama added to the carnage by going out of his way to ignore the law and by employing Janet Napolitano as DHS honcho. Her reign of terror saw the DHS promoting illegal aliens as “Newly Arrived Refugees,” rather than invading criminals.

Not to worry, Republicans of dubious conservative stripes advised. The next Amnesty will be tough on border security, they promised. No more 1986 folly!

Again, the vote for the latest Amnesty scheme was Mexico 68, America 32.

As it turns out, weasels like John McCain are counting on tough border measures to be removed during the process of reconciliation between the Senate travesty and the yet- to- be- hatched nonsense from the US House.

McCain’s evil scheme was reported thusly at the reference:

The surge of 20,000 new enforcement agents that would be deployed as part of the Senate immigration bill that passed earlier this year is unnecessary to secure the border, Arizona Sen. John McCain, one of the lead Republicans on the bipartisan immigration task force that co-authored the bill, said Tuesday.

Speaking at a forum sponsored by the AFL-CIO in Washington, D.C., McCain said he voted for the bill that included the provision of additional agents so that those skeptical about the bill’s effectiveness “would have comfort” that the border would be secured.

“I’ll give you a little straight talk. We don’t need 20,000 additional border enforcement agents,” McCain said at the union forum, where he joined California Democratic Rep. Xavier Becerra. “But what we do need is to use the technology that has been developed where we can surveil the border more effectively."

The Senate bill would effectively double the number of border agents and increase funding for enforcement. The bill passed the Senate in June with bipartisan support, and lawmakers are currently debating a version of immigration reform in the Republican-majority House.”

Those who know and understand the likes of John McCain, Lindsey Graham and other RINOs should not be surprised:

RINOs differ from Democrats only when it comes to transparency: Democrats readily admit that they oppose any security measure that would prevent more criminals from invading; RINOs like McCain lie and double- talk the issue and count on the reconciliation process to safeguard the interests of illegal aliens….and to hell with America!

John McCain’s words, and the recent announcement that the DHS cannot account for one million foreigners in the nation, should be enough to put a dagger through the heart of the Amnesty canard of 2013!

Americans have put up with 27 years of lies and abuse.

Time to secure the borders, deport the illegals, and respect American sovereignty and the rule of law!

Amnesty MUST BE DEFEATED in the US House and rejected in total!
