Illegals Made Legal by EO Will Always Be 2nd Class Frauds!




By John W. Lillpop


In their zeal to grow the Democrat Party into a perpetual progressive majority, liberal politicians are anxiously striving to secure amnesty, including full citizenship, for tens of millions of foreign illegal aliens, most of whom are completely unknown as to criminal backgrounds, medical history, financial and credit worthiness, possible links to terrorism, national allegiance and loyalty, and acceptance of American cultural values and Democratic principles.

Liberals have chosen to forfeit the rule of law, the US Constitution, and established American language, culture, and heritage, in exchange for millions of impoverished foreigners who, if things go according to plan, will ultimately be compelled to vote for more and bigger government, unrestrained  spending, redistribution of wealth and universal entitlements based on extracting higher and higher taxes from the rich; all of which will be executed by elitists expert in socialist tyranny, but without a “smidgen” of American patriotism.

Liberals are fully aware of the fact that “we the people” do not support proposed immigration reforms which would unfairly bestow citizenship on tens of millions of illegals who would radically transform the social and political culture of our blessed America.

Thus, knowing that the fundamental transformation of America from a capitalist, free-market society into a socialist nanny state cannot be accomplished in accordance with the US Constitution, illegal alien advocates are urging President Barack Obama to ignore the Constitution, the rule of law, and the US Congress, and to act unilaterally by issuing an Executive Order(s) to make that which is illegal suddenly legal and to render meaningless the concept of equal power among government branches and to further render irrelevant the notion of “government by, for, and of the people.”

Should the President actually engage in such abhorrent behavior, and should said abomination not be reversed in the halls of Congress or before the US Supreme Court, Barack Hussein Obama will have forever blighted the name and reputation of all who were gifted with citizenship as a result of his unchecked political greed and corruption.

Illegal aliens made legal by EOs signed by Obama will always known as 2nd-class frauds!

Highly-Vaunted Illegal Alien “Love” Actually Harms Children!


By John W. Lillpop

In the most outrageous argument ever advanced in support of illegal invasions of the US by foreign aliens, presidential aspirant Jeb Bush tried to sprinkle fairy dust on the criminal act of defying US borders and immigration laws by claiming that such acts were, in fact, acts of “love.”

According to the allegedly intelligent Bush, violations by illegal aliens must be countenanced because the aliens invade out of a burning love for children and other family members.

Mind you, the illegal tsunami from south of our borders is not driven by greed, that is, a quest for free education, food stamps, welfare cash, free health care, housing, and other benefits which are intended for US citizens, but which are hijacked by altogether too many invading illegals!

Bush also fails to take into account the economic harm that illegals inflict on the ability of low-income American citizen families to secure and hold gainful employment.  He also ignores the fact that illegals often abandon “beloved” family members in the third-world nations of origin.

As reported at the reference, the lust of the Obama Administration to grow the base of the Democrat Party, combined with the greed of illegal aliens for American booty, has made American policy anything but “humane.”

As reported, in part:

The number of minor children crossing or attempting to cross the U.S. southern border unaccompanied by a parent or other adult relative has exploded from 6,560 in 2011 to an estimated 60,000 for fiscal year 2014. Border patrol agents in South Texas reported over 1,000 such children were apprehended by officials earlier this month, including a 3-year-old boy from Honduras.
As a government official from Ecuador told The New York Times, one of the main reasons is a belief held by many in Central America and Mexico that some sort of immigration reform will be passed that allows anyone who can get into the United States illegally to be able to stay.
In other words, the prospect of amnesty is encouraging more illegal immigration – and in this case, the human trafficking of children. Often raised by their grandparents or other relatives because their parents have already come to the U.S. illegally, these children are traveling alone or with human smugglers, called coyotes, who are paid to get them across the border.
And what happens once they’re here? According to the Department of Health and Human Services, by law, the U.S. government must assume custody of “unaccompanied alien children” apprehended by law enforcement who file claims to remain in the United States. The government then contracts with state-licensed facilities to care for the children until it can place them with sponsors.
According to a judge in Texas who has reviewed numerous such cases, the U.S. government is guilty of encouraging this illegal behavior.
The judge said:
By fostering an atmosphere whereby illegal aliens are encouraged to pay human smugglers for further services, the Government is not only allowing them to fund the illegal and evil activities of these cartels, but is also inspiring them to do so.
Interestingly, one of the reasons given for children attempting to cross the border into the U.S. is that they are trying to escape crime and gang violence in their home countries. Yet the Obama administration’s immigration policies are actually releasing criminals back into the very communities where these children are likely to find themselves in America.”

So, Jeb Bush, just where in the hell is the “love” that is supposed to justify the invasion of ten of millions of low-skilled, non-English speakers into America?

Phooey!

Latest Progressive Buffoonery: Concern over “Hurt Feelings” Trumps Excellence!




By John W. Lillpop


Competition and excellence are as American as baseball and apple pie. The idea is that one should take optimum advantage of God-given talents and abilities by striving to be the best possible so as to achieve important goals and objectives.

That notion, so the story goes, will help prepare one for the rigors and challenges of the real world where one’s abilities and performance are carefully scrutinized in order to select the “best candidates” for employment and for promotion and salary opportunities.

Indeed, when employers look to hire, the object is to find the most qualified prospective employee.  Scant little time is spent in HR offices or corporate board rooms fretting over “hurt feelings” or exclusivity discrimination.

The business of professional sports is an excellent example. Baseball scouts search high and low for young players whom can run the fastest, throw the ball the furthest, and whom can hit a baseball with the greatest power and accuracy.

Rarely does a big-league baseball manager take a budding superstar aside and counsel the young man: “Your batting average and home run production is depressing to some of the other players with more average talents.  You should strike out more often, hit with less power, and stop running so damn fast! Do it for the team!”

Likewise, a high-tech team leader in Silicone Valley is unlikely to say the following to “techies”  assigned to develop an innovative, new product line:

“Folks, of course we want to be # 1 in sales, quality, and profit. Still, we have a moral obligation to guard against “hurt feelings” among our competitors. So, when you are inventing gadgets and technological miracles for the future, consider how your innovation will impact the feelings of your counterparts working for competitors!” 

Of course, these are silly, outrageous examples.

Unfortunately, this sort of progressive buffoonery is creeping into our education system.

For instance, concerns about the “exclusive nature” of the annual honors night at Archie R. Cole Middle School in Rhode Island have caused school officials to scrap the tradition.

Instead, students who would normally be recognized at the annual spring tradition will be honored during team-based recognition ceremonies and graduation.

Thus, out of touch liberals at the school have implemented the progressive worship of mediocrity and equality, especially at the expense of excellence.

Parents with children whom attend Archie R. Cole Middle School should move, with haste, to transfer their offspring to  schools that will encourage and reward excellence.

Perhaps equality-driven progressives could level the playing field a bit by having a “Hurt Feelings” awards ceremony for the less accomplished students?  Call it a gathering of "Future Democrats!"

Honoring, or Mocking, Those Whom Died for Our Freedoms and Democratic Ideals?









By John W. Lillpop

Notwithstanding the fact that contemporary celebrations of Memorial Day have more to do with three-day weekends, back yard barbecues, reckless episodes of alcohol abuse, and other frivolities, the original purpose was to set aside a national spiritual holiday to remember and honor the brave American men and women whom sacrificed their very lives in the service of this blessed nation.

Indeed, in the beginning, it was conceived as a day to memorialize and prayerfully thank those dead American men and women whom made the ultimate sacrifice to defend and preserve the liberties and precious freedoms guaranteed by our Constitution and Bill of Rights.

No one can deny that horse shoes, watermelon, and fried chicken add spice to the celebratory spirit of Memorial Day.

However, in much the same manner as Christmas is not really about glittery trees, blinking lights, and mistletoe, so it is that the genesis of Memorial Day is really about things spiritual, rather than slothful excuses to overeat, over drink, and otherwise engage in intemperate behavior,

Memorial Day History*


Memorial Day was officially proclaimed on 5 May 1868 by General John Logan, national commander of the Grand Army of the Republic, in his , and was first observed on 30 May 1868, when flowers were placed on the graves of Union and Confederate soldiers at Arlington National Cemetery.

The first state to officially recognize the holiday was New York in 1873. By 1890 it was recognized by all of the northern states. The South refused to acknowledge the day, honoring their dead on separate days until after World War I (when the holiday changed from honoring just those who died fighting in the Civil War to honoring Americans who died fighting in any war).

It is now celebrated in almost every State on the last Monday in May (passed by Congress with the National Holiday Act of 1971 (P.L. 90 - 363) to ensure a three day weekend for Federal holidays), though several southern states have an additional separate day for honoring the Confederate war dead.

Traditional observance of Memorial day has diminished over the years. Many Americans nowadays have forgotten the meaning and traditions of Memorial Day. At many cemeteries, the graves of the fallen are increasingly ignored, neglected. Most people no longer remember the proper flag etiquette for the day. While there are towns and cities that still hold Memorial Day parades, many have not held a parade in decades. Some people think the day is for honoring any and all dead, and not just those fallen in service to our country.

Did Our Brothers and Sisters Die in Vain?

One cannot help but wonder whether the price paid by American men and women in years past are justified given the fact that America is currently run by politicians who simply do not respect traditional American values, traditions, or law.

Some questions to ponder:

1. Our government is run by an administration that ignores Constitutionally-protected freedom of religion by demanding that services which violate the religious beliefs of certain groups be provided by those groups, contrary to Amendment 1 of the US Constitution.

The same Obama administration consistently ignores and circumvents existing immigration law so as to curry favor with illegal aliens whom are being targeted as future Democrats.  This extraordinary violation of the rule of law ignores the will and needs of millions of American citizens, including Veterans, in order to pander to those whom have invaded America.

How many American lives were sacrificed so that our renegade government could ignore basic religious freedoms to 65 million Americans, and ignore our borders and immigration laws for political gain?


2. Our government is run by people who generally oppose the 2nd Amendment, and whom created and implemented a criminal program known as “Fast and Furious,” which caused dangerous weapons to be shipped from the US to drug terrorists in Mexico. Those weapons were used against innocent Americans and Mexicans, including the death of a US Border Patrol agent.

How many brave Americans fought and died so that our government could send weapons to foreign terrorists whom would use said weapons to kill an American law enforcement official in order to taint the 2nd Amendment?


3. In 2011, our President ordered a military attack on the foreign nation of Libya, and did so without Congressional approval, and in violation of the War Powers Act.
How many of those who fought and died for America did so knowing that their sacrifices would empower a defiant president to willfully ignore the provisions of the Constitution and the War Powers Act, thereby circumventing a vital separation of powers principle so vital to our Democracy?


4. The President of the United States, in concert with liberal allies in Congress, passed a law which requires Americans to purchase health insurance regardless of their personal choices. The law, opposed by a majority of Americans, also provides for punitive action by the IRS against those Americans who refuse to comply.

How many American lives were sacrificed so that our renegade government could force unwilling Americans to buy a product-service against their will and threaten to use a federal agency against Americans who do not comply?

5. The President of the United States is an unabashed socialist and outspoken critic of free enterprise and the profit motive, both of which favored by an overwhelming majority of Americans.

This president seeks to divide Americans on the basis of class and wealth, and further proposes to use government power to seize assets from the alleged “rich” and “redistribute” such wealth to people whose political views are more closely aligned with his own.

How many American lives were sacrificed so that our renegade president could wage class war fare and use government to steal wealth rightfully the property of some in order to enrich others?

Conclusion:

Given the cynical, anti-American policies of the Obama Administration, those Americans whom have sacrificed their all for America are, regrettably, being mocked this Memorial Day.

The good news is that our Constitution, battered and abused as it is, is still viable.

Solution?

We the people must remember the American war dead on November 4 and vote to remove those whom refuse to honor the sacrifices made on our behalf.

Do it in memory of the brave men and women who died for our freedoms and liberty!

Regarding Amnesty for Illegals: What About Negative Impact on African-American Families?




By John W. Lillpop


The obvious, simple-minded fallacy in Jeb Bush’s idiotic claim that illegals who invade America do so out of “Love” and should be given a pass on following the rule of law is this:

Amnesty for illegal aliens will "disproportionately harm lower-skilled African-Americans."  Thus, the logical question, “What about love and employment opportunities for American citizens who just happen to be African-Americans?”

No doubt Jeb Bush has spent very little, if any, time pondering that  question.

However, as reported at the reference, Peter Kirsanow, a member of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights has thought intently about the issue and is demanding that members of the Congressional Black Caucus also consider the question seriously.

As reported at the reference:


A member of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights advised the Congressional Black Caucus on Tuesday to oppose amnesty legislation backed by President Barack Obama and Democrats because it threatens to further devastate the employment opportunities for black Americans.

Commissioner Peter Kirsanow, in his individual capacity as a member of the eight-member commission, wrote to Rep. Marcia Fudge (R-OH), the chair of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC), and said that amnesty would "disproportionately harm lower-skilled African-Americans" whose economic conditions have already gotten worse under America's first black president. 

He asked members of the CBC to "oppose any legislation that would grant any form of work authorization to illegal aliens" and "oppose legislation that would increase the overall number of guest workers admitted to the U.S. each year."

Reports have documented the surplus of labor in the high-tech industry that is depressing wages, and there is also a huge surplus in more lower-skilled jobs.
"The obvious question is whether there are sufficient jobs in the low-skilled labor market for both African-Americans and illegal immigrants," Kirsanow wrote. "The answer is no."

He referenced a 2008 commission hearing in which witnesses testified that illegal immigration "disproportionately impacts the wages and employment opportunities of African-American" males. Scholars noted that 40% of the 18-point decline in the black employment rate from 1960 to 2000 was due to immigration. He noted that illegal immigrants and blacks "often find themselves in competition for the same jobs." 

Kirsanow cited April's unemployment numbers from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which found that the "unemployment rate for all black Americans – not just those with few skills – was 11.6 percent, more than twice the white unemployment rate of 5.3 percent." Furthermore, the unemployment rate for black teens was 36.8 percent, and the "black labor force participation rate has fallen to an historic low of 60.9 percent," while the "black median household income has dropped by nearly $1,500 in the last five years."

"Illegal immigration has a disparate impact on African-American men because these men are disproportionately represented in the low-skilled labor force," he wrote, noting that a 2012 Census report found that "50.9 percent of native-born blacks had not continued their education beyond high school." 

That same report also "found that 75.5 percent of foreign-born Hispanics had not been educated beyond high school," and "foreign-born Hispanics who are in the United States illegally are disproportionately male." And since "African-Americans who have not pursued education beyond high school are also disproportionately male," they will be competing for similar jobs in an economy that "has a glut of low-skilled workers, not a shortage."

These employment difficulties, Kirsanow noted, combined with high incarceration rates, "likely contribute to one of the most serious problems facing the African-American community today: the dearth of intact nuclear families."

"The disintegration of the black family began to accelerate during the 1960s. It is one of the great tragedies of modern America that the disintegration of the African-American family has shown no signs of abating," he wrote. "The dearth of job opportunities gives these men less confidence in their ability to support a family, and gives women reason to fear that these prospective husbands will be only another mouth to feed."

Kirsanow also emphasized that the 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act showed that amnesty legislation does not solve the illegal immigration problem, and "it is likely that if illegal immigrants are granted legal status, more people will come to America illegally and will further crowd African-American men (and other low-skilled men and women) out of the workforce."
"Giving amnesty to illegal immigrants would only exacerbate this problem facing low-skilled men, who are disproportionately African-American," Kirsanow wrote.”


Again, the crucial question: Why are the needs of African-American citizens not being fully considered before the federal government proposes action which sanctions the invasion of our sovereign nation by foreign workers, and which significantly diminishes opportunities for prosperity among African- American families?

Rethinking the 'Climate Change' Blame Game



By John W. Lillpop


Although the science is not yet entirely settled, it does appear likely that the Planet Venus, also known as Earth’s “Sister,” should be a sanctuary of pristine delight for those whom worship at the altar of environmental utopia and whom believe that Earth would be just fine were it not for billions of out-of-control, toxic human beings.

And why not?

After all, there are no greedy Republican racists messing up environmental doings on Venus, no smoky old cars, coal plants, noxious  summer BBQ-s, or other instances of unchecked capitalism running amuck to the detriment of the Venus skies.

Even though Venus has no cars, coal plants, out-of- tune lawn mowers, or other obvious signs of man-made environmental abuse, it is inexplicably ravaged by out-of-control green house devastation and is regarded by many scientists as a “dead” planet.

Despite being free from the effects of industrial progress and man-made hell, Venus  is saddled with a stifling atmosphere of carbon dioxide, scorching surface temperatures, and other lethal conditions which make life there unmanageable, or even impossible.

Meanwhile, back here on Earth, home to the only known planet in our solar system on which the Garden of Eden can prosper, deluded crack pots and money-grubbing elitists like Barack Obama and Al Gore  warn of the dangers of human consumption while working to end capitalism as we know it.

Why do folks like Obama, Gore and other low-information alarmists persist in blaming the human species for all environmental problems when it is obvious from Venus that mother nature, rather than a few billion misguided humans, will have her way, come hell or high water, or both?

A Brutally Frank Assessment of Barack Hussein Obama: Epic Incompetence!



By John W. Lillpop


A growing legion of intelligent beings around the globe is finally awakening to the realization that  Barack Hussein Obama, in addition to being ruthlessly corrupt, is completely unfit intellectually for the enormous duties and responsibilities that come with the American Presidency.

As chronicled in the opinion piece at the reference, Obama’s shortcomings represent “epic incompetence” of a type never seen before seen in a sitting President.

The Emerging Obama Narrative:


Reference:

http://www.commentarymagazine.com/2014/05/21/the-new-obama-narrative-epic-incompetence/  

The last eight months have battered the Obama administration. From the botched rollout of the health-care web site to the VA scandal, events are now cementing certain impressions about Mr. Obama. Among the most damaging is this: He is unusually incompetent, reflecting even epic incompetence. That is not news to some of us, but it seems to be a conclusion more and more people are drawing.

The emerging narrative of Barack Obama, the one that actually comports to reality, is that he is a rare political talent but a disaster when it comes to actually governing. The list of his failures is nothing short of staggering, from shovel-ready jobs that weren’t so shovel ready to the failures of healthcare.gov to the VA debacle. But it also includes the president’s failure to tame the debt, lower poverty, decrease income inequality, and increase job creation. He promised to close Guantánamo Bay and didn’t. His administration promised to try Khalid Sheikh Mohammed before a civilian jury in New York but they were forced to retreat because of outrage in his own party. Early on in his administration Mr. Obama put his prestige on the line to secure the Olympics for Chicago in 2016 and he failed.

Overseas the range of Obama’s failures include the Russian “reset” and Syrian “red lines” to Iran’s Green Revolution, the Egyptian overthrow of Hosni Mubarak, and Libya post-Gaddafi. The first American ambassador since the 1970s was murdered after requests for greater security for the diplomatic outpost in Benghazi were denied. (For a comprehensive overview of President Obama’s failures in the Middle East, see this outstanding essay by Abe Greenwald.) The president has strained relations with nations extending from Canada to Germany, from Israel to Afghanistan to Poland and the Czech Republic to many others. All from a man who promised to heal the planet and slow the rise of the oceans.

But that’s not all. The White House response to everything from the VA and IRS scandals to the seizure of AP phone records by the Department of Justice is that it learned about them from press reports. More and more Mr. Obama speaks as if he’s a passive actor, a bystander in his own administration, an MSNBC commentator speaking about events he has no real control over. We saw that earlier today, when the president, in trying to address the public’s growing outrage at what’s happening at the VA, insisted he “will not stand for it” and “will not tolerate” what he has stood for and tolerated for almost six years. His anger at what’s happening to our veterans seems to have coincided with the political damage it is now causing him.

We have learned the hard way that Mr. Obama’s skill sets are far more oriented toward community organizing than they are to governing. On every front, he is overmatched by events. It’s painful to watch a man who is so obviously in over his head. And more and more Americans are suffering because of it.”

The huge question confronting each and every American is: Can our nation survive another 2.5 years with Barack Obama in power?

FLOTUS Fails to Address Causes for Resurgence of Segregation!



By John W. Lillpop

First Lady Michelle Obama recently made headlines with remarks she delivered to graduating high school seniors in Topeka, Kansas, where the landmark Brown v. Board of Education case began and was the means for the Supreme Court to outlaw segregation in public schools 60 years ago.

Among other remarks, Mrs. Obama warned students and parents of the Topeka school district that “by some measures, our schools are as segregated as they were when Dr. [Martin Luther] King gave his final speech.”

She added:

“The truth is that Brown v. Board of Education isn’t just about our history, it’s about our future. … Brown is still being decided every single day….not just in our courts and schools — but in how we live our lives. Our laws may no longer separate us based on our skin color, but nothing in the Constitution says we have to eat together in the lunch room, or live together in the same neighborhoods. There is no court case against believing in stereotypes or thinking that certain types of hateful jokes or comments are funny.”

While the FLOTUS was quick to warn of the resurgence of a great social evil, she made little or no attempt to explain why the backsliding is taking place.

With all due respect to Mrs. Obama, the following question seems worthy of consideration:

Might the voluntary increase in the pursuit of segregation in activities not mandated by law (“eating together, living together in neighborhoods,” etc.) have something to do with the fact that the mainstream media, liberal politicians, and educators constantly couch EVERYTHING through the prism of race?

Examples include:

Caucasians are constantly portrayed as evil and abusive. One university even went so far recently as to ask its community “How do we make sure that in future years ‘we are not as white as we are today?’;

The nation’s overall progress in improving race relations is regularly belittled and dismissed as “insufficient”;

America’s first president of color promises a “post-racial era,” but instead further divides Americans on the basis of race and class;

Opposing Barack Obama and his very liberal agenda is constantly attributed to racist motives;

Austerity, financial responsibility, and efforts to control deficit spending are suspiciously eyed as racist;

The US attorney general refers to “my people” in testimony before Congress, and refuses to take action against members of his people (such as new black panthers) whom appear to be engaged in voter intimidation tactics at polling places;

A respected US House Member, Paul Ryan,  speaks of the urgent need to address crime and poverty among inner city youth, and is immediately pummeled by the black congressional caucus for racist views.

In summary, Mrs. Obama, have you considered that the resurgence of segregation might be a by-product of constant harping on the motives and objectives of Caucasian people, where such actions polarize both Caucasians and people of color?

Why not promote rhetoric and policy which seeks to heal divisions and build unity, rather than constant race baiting for political gain?

How to Explain “Green House” on Planet Venus?




By John W. Lillpop


Although the science is not yet entirely settled, research suggests that there are no greedy Republican racists messing up environmental doings on Venus, Earth’s “sister” planet.

Indeed, there are no smoky old cars, coal plants, noxious  summer BBQ-s, or other instances of unchecked capitalism running amuck to the detriment of the Venus skies.

Even though Venus has no cars, coal plants, out of tune lawn mowers, or other signs of man-made environmental abuse, it is still ravaged by out-of-control green house devastation and is regarded by many scientists as a “dead” planet.

Even with no commerce-killing EPA to destroy jobs and progress, Venus  is saddled with a stifling atmosphere of carbon dioxide, scorching surface temperatures, and other dreadful conditions which make life there unmanageable, even impossible, some say.

Meanwhile, back here in our pristine Garden of Eden,  deluded crack pots like Barack Obama, Al Gore, Nancy Pelosi, and other alarmists warn of the dangers of green house emissions caused by automobiles, plastic bags, and the like, while the EPA plots the end of capitalism as we know it.

Is it possible that nature, rather than the likes of Obama, Pelosi and Gore, is doing its job as intended, and simply does not need an EPA?



More “Phony Scandals,” Mr. President?



By John W. Lillpop

Before resolving, or even coming close to resolving, any of the impeachable-offense scandals which taint Barack Obama’s drive to be remembered as the iconic morphing of a Chicago thug and community organizer into the spiritual equivalent of Jesus Christ, Dr. Martin Luther King, and Nelson Mandela, The One’s inner circle of scandal and corruption has grown by two whoppers in recent days.

Specifically, whilst the stench of Benghazi, IRS targeting of conservatives, Fast and Furious gun-running, spying on the Associated Press by the Justice Department and abuse of FOX News reporter James Rosen, violation of War Powers Act with regard to Libya, Solyndra and other solar-energy scams, and other anti-American offenses continue to simmer about and haunt the US Constitution, separation of powers, and the US Congress,  two newly-discovered scandals worthy of impeachment and removal from office have erupted around the bewildered, but belligerent, Obama.

In recent days, scandals involving the delivery, or non-delivery, of services to Veterans and the unconscionable release of 35,000 criminal illegal aliens awaiting deportation have been added to the Obama scandal inventory!

Imagine that: An administration that works to deny eligible veterans earned benefits while rewarding criminal illegal aliens with undeserved freedom!

Just what the Hades is going on here?

More “Phony Scandals,” Mr. President?

Courting Saturn’s “F” Ring: A Conservative Quest for Lust in Space








Satire By John W. Lillpop


Now that the once-sacred institution of marriage has been redefined as any union, or planned union, between two or more consenting men, women, animals, insects, plants, objects, or any combination thereof, I am now at liberty to expose my deepest dreams and fantasies of the carnal variety for public scrutiny.

Accordingly, it gives me great pleasure to finally announce, at long last, that I have, since early childhood, harbored an overwhelming lust-driven fascination for the “F” ring of the planet Saturn.

The objective of my affection may seem no more than a sexless  mass of dust and ice to stoic skeptics throughout the rest of the universe, but to me she represents the quintessential object of beauty and lust, an orgiastic gift of external delight from the very Heavens!

Owing to the fact that communications with my beloved “F”  is possible only through the Cassini spacecraft operated by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), my marriage proposal is herewith submitted to Charles F. Bolden, Jr., for forwarding to the future Mrs. F. Lillpop.

In addition, a copy of this announcement is forwarded to Governor Jerry “Moon Beam” Brown of California to apprise the flaky governor that a new category of partner (F Ring) must be provided for in California’s revised marriage certificate!

It’s called “Progressive Enlightenment," love!

Thousands of Dangerous Criminal Illegals Set Free: Congress Must Abandon Amnesty, Remove Obama!


By John W. Lillpop


Deliberately endangering the security and safety of American citizens is a despicable crime which should cause any sitting President to be removed from office. 

Furthermore, when such crime is executed in order to score political points with illegal aliens and their sympathizers, the crime is particularly grievous and must result in immediate redress.  

In this regard, a report from the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS)exposes an ugly truth: 

In 2013,  Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) released from detention 36,007 convicted criminal aliens awaiting the outcome of their deportation proceedings—including 193 individuals convicted of murder, 426 convicted of sexual assault, 1,075 convicted of aggravated assault, and 303 convicted of kidnapping.

Has the American commitment to the rule of law devolved so dramatically under President Obama that it is now acceptable to free murderers with little or no regard for the security and safety of American citizens?

Nonsense!

In truth, Barack Obama lacks the common sense and moral bearing necessary to enforce the rule of law and govern responsibly!

Rather than fretting over immigration reform (amnesty),  Congress must instead focus on removing Barack Hussein Obama from office!

An Open Letter to Speaker Boehner: STOP AMNESTY NOW!

May 15, 2014

Honorable John Boehner
Speaker of the US House
Washington, D.C.


Dear Speaker Boehner:

Nearly 30 years and 30-40 million illegal aliens ago, on November 6, 1986, Republican President Ronald Reagan signed the Immigration and Reform Control Act (IRCA) of 1986 which mandated certain actions to prevent further invasions of the homeland, mostly by third-world illegal aliens from south of our borders.

IRCA also granted amnesty to 3-4 million illegal aliens already in residence.

This new law (Public Law No. 99 - 603.) was supposed to end the dangerous influx of uninvited and unwelcome migrants into our blessed nation.

In signing the IRCA, President Reagan released a statement (Reference 1)which sought to explain the law to the American people.

A summary of Reagan’s thinking on the matter was included in the final paragraph of the referenced statement which reads as follows:

"The act I am signing today is the product of one of the longest and most difficult legislative undertakings of recent memory. It has truly been a bipartisan effort, with this administration and the allies of immigration reform in the Congress, of both parties, working together to accomplish these critically important reforms. Future generations of Americans will be thankful for our efforts to humanely regain control of our borders and thereby preserve the value of one of the most sacred possessions of our people: American citizenship.

Unfortunately, since the IRCA was signed into law, America’s borders have become a meaningless joke, ignored by all subsequent administrations, both Democrat and Republican, even following the devastating terrorist attacks on 9/11.

Now in 2014, both political parties appear poised to devalue American citizenship dramatically by granting amnesty to tens of millions of illegals whom have violated our borders and laws, and whom often use public goods and services to which they are not entitled.

Even more distressing is a new report from the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) which documents the fact that the Obama administration has little or no regard for the safety and security of American citizens when it comes to dealing with illegal aliens.

Indeed, despite Barack Obama’s outrageously false claim that he has earned the title,  “Deportations -in-Chief” President, the bitter truth is that his administration has executed policies which seriously threaten the safety and security of American citizens for the sake of political pandering to non-citizen illegal aliens.

Specifically, a report from the CIS exposes the horrible truth:  Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) released from detention 36,007 convicted criminal aliens awaiting the outcome of their deportation proceedings—including 193 individuals convicted of murder, 426 convicted of sexual assault, 1,075 convicted of aggravated assault, and 303 convicted of kidnapping.

Mr. Speaker: Just how is it that our government deliberately released convicted murderers, those convicted of sexual assault, aggravated assault, and kidnapping to wreak havoc and chaos among US citizens?

Has our government actually bought into the specious  argument advanced by a reckless RINO which holds that illegal aliens are driven to invade America by “love”?

Mr. Speaker, since when is it acceptable for the US government to free murderers, kidnappers, etc. with little or no regard for the security of American citizens?

Rep. Lamar Smith (R-TX) put this utter abdication of responsibility in the proper context. “This would be considered the worst prison break in American history, except it was sanctioned by the president and perpetrated by our own immigration officials,” he declared. “The administration’s actions are outrageous. They willfully and knowingly put the interests of criminal immigrants before the safety and security of the American people.”

Mr. Speaker, this latest report must cause responsible politicians to rethink the entire issue of amnesty!

Clearly, Barack Obama lacks the common sense and moral conviction needed to enforce the rule of law!

Any consideration of amnesty or immigration reform must cease until the American people can be assured that the security and safety of the American people will take precedence over political pandering to illegal aliens, and that dangerous criminals will deported rather than released to the public!

Mr. Speaker, may I suggest that your valuable time be spent in executing Articles of Impeachment against President Obama for his flagrant and deliberate contempt for the rule of law over the past six years, and that efforts to pass amnesty be abandoned?

It should be clear to all that Barack Obama does not care one whit about control of US borders, American sovereignty, American culture, or the security and safety of American citizens.

The haunting question for many Americans, Mr. Speaker, is this: Is the Republican party any better?

By working to remove Barack Obama from office while ending any consideration of amnesty or other anti-American immigration reform, Mr. Speaker, you can answer this question in the affirmative.

Finally, a warning: Woe be unto those who seek to destroy American language, culture and borders for political gain!

Obama Cannot Be Trusted to Defend Citizens! STOP AMNESTY!




By John W. Lillpop


As the Obama Administration, in concert with addled RINOs, work to push amnesty for tens of millions of illegal aliens down the throats of the American people, a new report from the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) documents the fact that this administration has little or no regard for the safety and security of American citizens.

Indeed, despite Barack Obama’s outrageous and idiotic claim that he has earned the title,  “Deportations -in-Chief” President, the bitter truth is that his administration has executed policies which seriously threaten American citizens for the sake of pandering to non-citizen illegal aliens.


Specifically, a report from the CIS exposes the horrible truth:  Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) released from detention 36,007 convicted criminal aliens awaiting the outcome of their deportation proceedings—including 193 individuals convicted of murder, 426 convicted of sexual assault, 1,075 convicted of aggravated assault, and 303 convicted of kidnapping.

Just how is it that our government released convicted murderers, those convicted of sexual assault, aggravated assault, and kidnapping?

Has our government actually bought into the brain-dead argument advanced by RINO Jeb Bush which holds that illegal aliens are driven to invade America by “love”?

Since when is it acceptable for the US government to free murderers, kidnappers, etc. with little or no regard for the security of American citizens?


Rep. Lamar Smith (R-TX) put this utter abdication of responsibility in the proper context. “This would be considered the worst prison break in American history, except it was sanctioned by the president and perpetrated by our own immigration officials,” he declared. “The administration’s actions are outrageous.

This latest report must cause responsible politicians to rethink the entire issue of amnesty!  Clearly, Barack Obama lacks the common sense and moral conviction needed to enforce the rule of law!

Stop amnesty NOW!

Progressive Tyranny: Disenfranchisement by Executive Order!




By John W. Lillpop


Over the years, progressive politicians have argued vociferously against policies and procedures which they believe, or claim to believe, results in disenfranchisement of large segments of American voters, most commonly racial minorities and women.

Thus, progressives have fought tooth and nail against voting tolls, competence testing, and the like as tools of discrimination. Regrettably, progressive paranoia goes beyond the pale when, in the name of defending against disenfranchisement,  the left opposes common sense measures like Voter ID laws designed to assure the integrity of free and open elections.

But while progressives generally oppose measures to prevent voter fraud, despite the fact that America is plagued by a pandemic of identity theft, the most tyrannical and evil form of disenfranchisement is tolerated, even lauded by some extremists on the left.

That would be the deliberate usurping of the Constitution and the will of the people by President Barack Obama who uses executive fiat rather than the rule of law to govern.

In Obama’s distorted mind, the US Congress can be ignored and or defied by simply using a phone and pen!

Disagree with what current law says about deporting illegal aliens, but are unable to gain a political consensus sufficient to modify the law?

No problem! Just issue an Executive Order under the signature of the president and command the federal government to yield to the Obama vision, and to hell with Congress and the rule of law!

Intent on making Marxist health care a legacy achievement, despite the fact that a sizable majority of Americans are vehemently opposed?

Again, no problem. Using Executive fiat, Barack Obama feels oddly justified in unilaterally modifying the written law to suit his personal agenda, including manipulation of dates and actions so as to minimize political repercussions which could impact the electoral fortunes of like-minded liberals on election day.

Believe that the use of coal is hazardous to the environment and should be halted, despite the fact that millions of Americans are employed in the coal industry and are dependent on that commodity for their livelihoods? AND that state and local politicians are opposed to destroying an entire industry just to satisfy ideological passion?

Barack Obama apparently feels no compunction about bankrupting the coal industry by ordering the EPA and other government agencies to wreak economic havoc through regulation.

Thankfully, Barack Obama is unable to gain consensus on  his radical agenda.

Unfortunately, Obama does not give a damn about consensus and will use whatever means necessary to ram his views down the throats of the US Congress and the American people.

And what of the “Consent” of the governed? The rule of law? Separation of powers? Constitutional checks and balances?

All for naught according to Barack Obama.

Barack Hussein Obama: America’s Disenfranchisement tyrant!

How much longer will Barack Obama be allowed to  govern America without the consent of the governed?

Dramatic ‘Evolution’ of Professional Football Chronicled by Drudge!





By John W. Lillpop



For many conservatives, the Drudge Report has been the “go to” source for escaping mainstream media news and what is generally perceived as the liberal, non-traditional values bias in the media.

After all, it was Matt Drudge who made Monica Lewinsky a household name in 1998, famous for cavorting with then President Bill Clinton in a little room off the Oval Office, whilst First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton did whatever it is that congenital liars do to while away the hours elsewhere in the White House.

Sixteen years later, Drudge is headlining sensational news, once again.

This time, the May 11(Mother’s Day) Drudge Report featured a dramatic photo of Michael Sam and his male lover sharing a celebratory kiss just after Sam was drafted by the St. Louis Rams football team to become the first openly gay football player to be drafted by a professional team.

The big question in all this: Does the Michael Sam photo and story mark the end of critical conservative news reporting, or is it merely the latest example of a society in the throes of earth-shattering evolution?

Where the Hell Is Putin’s “Soul”?

 



By John W. Lillpop



After visiting with Vladimir Putin in 2001,President George W. Bush stated, "I was able to get a sense of his soul…”

That remark by the at-the-time new American president startled much of the world, especially conservative Republicans, who, for starters, doubted that Putin was actually in possession of a soul.

Most right wing pundits saw "Vladi" as a manifestation of the evil empire, a vanquished, but not entirely broken, commie not to be trusted without verification.

Giving a thumbs-up to Putin based on a fawning gaze into his steely blue eyeballs did not pass the "What would Ronald Reagan have done?" test for smoking out those with communist blood still flowing through devilish veins ,vessels, and arteries.

As John McCain allegedly said, "I look into Putin’s eyes, and I see K, G, B."

McCain’s sentiment concerning Putin is still shared by many thinking Americans, particularly in light of Putin’s recent conquest of Crimea and threats to Ukraine.

An unasked question that must be brought up in this volatile election year of 2014 should be directed to The One as follows:

"Mr. Obama, what do you see when you look into Vladimir Putin’s eyes?"

Most probably, Obama would say something typically liberal like,

"Looking into Putin’s eyes, I see a hunger for  diplomatic relations, and protracted rounds of negotiations, as opposed to the ‘old school’ way of relying on tanks and bomber aircraft for resolving conflicts.

"I see a man who would rather talk than fight!"

Of course, the fact that Putin is, and will always be, an unrepentant communist gives him an automatic boost in Obama’s eyes, given the fact that The One is of the same persuasion.

Besides, Obama could hardly be expected to find a "soul" when peering into the orifice of a fellow communist!

Why Are Democrats Not Celebrating Latest GOP Probe into Benghazi?



By John W. Lillpop

Over the years, the Republican party has made a science out of snatching certain victory from the jaws of defeat before important elections, which helps explain how a presidential poser like Barack Obama has survived politically.

Face it patriots, Republicans are their own worse enemies and can often be counted on to implode when they should prevail.

That being the case, why are Democrats not celebrating the GOP select committee investigation of the September 11, 2012 terrorist attack which killed four American diplomats in Benghazi?

Unless Obama and crew have something very sinister to hide, why would Democrats object to a “witch hunt” by the GOP which, if history is any indicator, could wipe out the GOP advantage going into the 2014 mid-term elections?

Why would any Democrat who voted for Obamacare and whom is running for reelection object to a story with the ‘legs’ to usurp Obamacare from the daily scandal reports?

Especially if the Benghazi narrative proffered by John Boehner and company is utterly false and without merit?

Why would Nancy Pelosi be so exercised if the Dems were indeed as clean as a whistle?

Why not stand by silently and let the GOP commit political suicide, as Republicans are wont to do before important elections?

More Offensive: Confederate Flag or Illegals Flying Mexican Flag?





























By John W. Lillpop



One of the more irritating truths about liberal politicians is their insatiable appetite for tearing down anything American in order to build up anti-American hysteria.


The issue over the Confederate Flag is an excellent example. 

In California, for instance, unglued politicians recently passed a bill prohibiting the  sale or display of the Confederate flag.

As reported:

California state government departments will be prohibited from selling or displaying items with an image of the Confederate flag under a bill that passed the Assembly on Monday.

AB2444 by Assemblyman Isadore Hall, D-Compton, is headed to the Senate after passing on a 72-1 vote. Hall introduced the bill after his mother saw replica Confederate money being sold at the state Capitol gift shop.
He called the image a symbol of racism meant to intimidate.
“Its symbolism in history is directly linked to the enslavement, torture and murder of millions of Americans,” Hall said of the Confederate flag. “The state of California should not be in the business of promoting hate toward others.”

This bill confirms the contention that, to many liberals, diversity is a terrific concept, except when it spawns tolerance for ideas and practices that the left opposes.
Sadly, this warping of free speech and history is all too common among small-minded those who have nothing but contempt for one of the most lasting and cherished symbols of the South.

Amazingly enough, those same self-righteous politicians whom are so anxious to disembowel American citizens for flying the Confederate Flag will defend millions of illegal aliens who take over American streets while boasting the Mexican flag!

If ever there was a flag that should be banned in America, it is the flag of Mexico, our third-world neighbors who dump their citizens on the US side of the border for US taxpayers to feed, house, educate, and provide medical care for.


Bottom Line: American citizens whom fly the Confederate Flag  are Americans, and as such, are far less offensive than illegal aliens flying the foreign flag of Mexico!

Obama Laments “Botched” Execution of Clayton Lockett!



By John W. Lillpop


Tuesday, April 29, brought a long-overdue measure of justice to the personage of Clayton Lockett for his role in the barbaric, subhuman murder of Stephanie Neiman.

For the sake of those not familiar with Lockett’s wanton snuffing of a human life, details were as reported in reference 1:

On June 3, 1999, Stephanie was driving a friend home in her Chevy pickup and had the misfortune of arriving when three men were there, supposedly attempting to beat a debt out of Bobby Bornt, 23, who lived there with his 9-month-old son.
One man hit Stephanie’s friend with a shotgun and forced her to call Stephanie inside. The men then raped the friend and beat Stephanie, when she refused to give up her truck keys. They bound her with duct tape and drove her to a country road.
Still, she refused to say she wouldn’t call the police on them, so they forced her to her knees and made her watch one gunman dig a grave. When one man shot her, his gun jammed, while Stephanie screamed. The man cleared his weapon and shot her again. Even though she was still breathing, the man ordered his accomplices to bury her, which they did.”

Shot and then buried alive, mind you!

Fast forward to April 29, 2014 when the state of Oklahoma executed Offender Lockett with the use of lethal injection.

Unfortunately for Lockett, his state-sponsored demise did not go as planned, bringing (GASP!) untoward pain and suffering to the brutal killer.

A detailed timeline of Lockett’s veil of tears was provided by Oklahoma and is repeated at the link below:

http://www.thewire.com/national/2014/05/oklahoma-releases-a-timeline-of-clayton-locketts-botched-execution/361544/Lockett.


Barack Obama Politicizes Lockett Execution

In his first public response to Oklahoma's botched execution by lethal injection this week, President Obama called for a review by the Justice Department of the use of capital punishment in the US and directed officials there to ask "hard questions" about its future.

“In the application of the death penalty, we have seen significant problems,” such as racial bias and the execution of innocents, as well as the "deeply troubling" execution of Clayton Lockett, he said, responding to a question at a joint press conference with German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Friday.

“All these do raise significant questions about how the death penalty is being applied," he added.”

Note that Obama used Lockett as a convenient excuse for playing the race card.

Note, too, that Obama continues to support the murder of the unborn innocent through abortion, a practice which has cost more than 50 million lives since 1972.

A pertinent question for the wimps and weasels who are grieve about Lockett’s date with justice:

How is the execution of Clayton Lockett in any way a “botched” incident? After all, the murderous thug IS dead and will kill no more, right?

Forget the bleeding heart sympathy! Clayton Lockett ultimately received justice, even if it was somewhat messy!

If Hillary Is Elected---

 ..

Satire By John W. Lillpop


Should the American people be foolish enough to elect Hillary Clinton to the presidency in 2016, the following events will surely ensue:

The 45th president of the United States will take the Oath of Office at the UN. She will place her left hand on the Koran, while swearing (in Spanish) at the U.S. Constitution, free markets, and Republicans.

Presidential Inaugural Balls will be held in Moscow, Paris, Havana, San Francisco, and other venues with large populations of known anti-American leftists, feminists, atheists, and other anti-heroes.

Burning the American flag will no longer be a crime, unless Al Gore decides that the smoke from smoldering flags causes global warming.

Bill Clinton will be pardoned for all crimes past and future, excepting sexual infidelity missteps that will surely take place in the Oval Office and adjoining rooms.

Marriage will be redefined as a union between two or more consenting men, women, animals, insects, and plants, or any combination thereof.

Government-paid day care will be an inalienable right of American women, rooted somewhere in an undisclosed location in the privacy bowels of the U.S. Constitution.

Speaking English to Hispanics obviously in America illegally will be regarded as harassment, a hate crime subject to severe civil and criminal penalties.

An "Excess Initiative Tax" will be paid by households with annual incomes exceeding $200,000.

A "Global Warming Tax" will be levied on SUVs and luxury cars registered to Republicans.

Former National Security Adviser Sandy Berger will be appointed Director of Homeland Security.

Unleaded gasoline will be outlawed.

The Iraq war will be officially declared a "Hate Crime" against Islam.

George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, General Petraeus, and Donald Rumsfeld will be sent to Guantanamo  Bay for their roles in the Iraq war.

Terrorists held at Guantanamo  Bay will be set free to make room for George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, General Petraeus, and Donald Rumsfeld.

Income tax rates will be trebled for white, Christian Republicans.

Mothers Day will be replaced by Women's Emancipation Day, which will be celebrated on January 22, date of Roe V. Wade.

Memorial Day will be recognized as a holiday that places far too much emphasis on American military victories and war. Instead, America will holiday on August 14 to commemorate the birth of Fidel Castro.

Christianity will be declared the refuge of "Superstitious Pagans," and more dangerous to one's health than trans fats, cigarettes, cholesterol, sugar, salt, alcoholism, illegal drugs, global warming, and Islamic terrorists combined.

Washington, D.C., will be declared a "Sanctuary City" for illegal aliens, terrorists and would be terrorists, sexually confused members of the U.S. Senate, gays, lesbians, and transvestites.

Reading the 2nd Amendment in public schools and owning guns, or images thereof, of any type will be considered acts of treason, the only crimes for which the death penalty is allowed.

The military draft will be reinstated to obligate all people between the ages of 18 and 50 to four years of national service, except those with 666 stamped on their foreheads by Howard Dean and authorized minions at the DNC.

Dick Cheney's birthday will be declared an official day of mourning, with all flags ordered to fly at half-mast.

Columbus Day will be declared "Old School" and replaced by March 31, birthday of Cesar Chavez.

Oh, for the glories to come!

Did Putin Bite off More Than He Can Chew?



By John W. Lillpop


Russian President Vladimir Putin may be learning that the law of unintended consequences is universal in scope, and certainly true when it comes to Russia invading Ukraine.

As the crisis in Ukraine intensifies, the Kremlin has even gone so far as to declare that it “cannot control” pro-Russian separatists and needs help from the West to bring stability to the situation.

As reported at the reference:


The Kremlin said yesterday it was receiving "thousands" of pleas for help from Ukraine, warning that it could not control pro-Russian separatists in the country and now required help to resolve the worsening violence.

As Russian troops continued to conduct exercises near the Ukrainian border and the US Secretary of State, John Kerry, demanded the Russian government do more to defuse the situation or risk further economic sanctions, a Kremlin spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, was quoted as saying that Russia had "lost its influence" over separatists in the region.

Speaking in Moscow yesterday, Mr Peskov said: "People are calling in despair, asking for help. The overwhelming majority demand Russian help. All these calls are reported to [President] Vladimir Putin."

He made clear that the Russian government blamed the West for the worsening situation, while stressing the need for "dialogue" towards a peaceful resolution. "Kiev and its Western sponsors are practically provoking the bloodshed and bear direct responsibility for it. Those who recognize this junta as a legal power become an accomplice to this crime."

Ukraine is scheduled to hold a presidential election on 25 May. But Mr Peskov said it would be "absurd" for it to go ahead under the current conditions of "military action, a punitive operation and mass killings".

Mr. Kerry, currently in Africa, spoke with his Russian counterpart, Sergei Lavrov, to warn of further economic penalties if the situation did not stabilize.

"It's important for Russia to withdraw support for the separatists," he said. "If those supported by Russia continue to interfere with the elections, regrettably there will have to be sanctions, including the possibility of – the reality of – sector sanctions."

Mr. Lavrov responded by placing the responsibility for defusing the crisis on the West. The US, he said, must use its influence in Kiev.

A former British ambassador to Moscow warned that the Kremlin's claims not to be orchestrating the situation should not be dismissed. Sir Rodric Braithwaite told The Independent on Sunday: "It may be true that Putin is losing control of events in eastern Ukraine and that he fears being sucked into a situation which could turn out to be unmanageable. It is unlikely that he has abandoned the proposition that he put forward weeks ago, that Ukraine needs a new constitution of a federal kind with specific rights for the Russian-language population in the East … The West will need to think how to respond to these propositions if a constructive negotiation for the benefit of the Ukrainians themselves is to be got under way."

Meanwhile back in Washington, Barack Obama continues to dodge “phony scandal” arrows from a belligerent Congress intent on getting to the bottom of Benghazi and the IRS felonies, in time to impact the 2014 mid-term elections.

That and attending fund-raising affairs have Obama so preoccupied that there is little time left to fret about doings in far-off foreign places which, truth be told,  Obama sees as none of America’s business anyhow!

America Cannot Wait Until 2016: Barack Obama Must Go NOW!




By John W. Lillpop


With the nation, his presidency, and the American form of self-governance under siege, is it not time for Barack Hussein Obama to face reality and spare the nation yet another two + years of grief?

From the use of the IRS to persecute political enemies, to reckless spending which added trillions of dollars to the bloated and dangerous  federal deficit, to deliberate lies about a flawed Marxist health care program repugnant to most Americans, to abandonment of border security, national sovereignty, and refusal to enforce immigration law, and to inept, naive mismanagement of foreign affairs, has not Barack Obama already done enough damage to America?

On top of all of that, e-mails produced in response to a Freedom of Information Act(FOIA) suit reveal that the Obama administration withheld evidence concerning the Benghazi slaughter of 2012, which cost four American diplomats their lives, and which may have been covered up just weeks before the 2012 presidential election in order to protect Obama’s foolish campaign claim that Al-Quaeda had been decimated!

Under the circumstances, is it not time for the American people to demand, “Enough is enough!”

Clearly, Barack Obama has lost his good sense. He can no longer be trusted with national security or important functions that require mature judgment. He has zero credibility with the public, Congress and the world.

Barack Obama needs to leave Washington, D.C. as soon as possible. Waikiki Beach is calling and Barack Obama is urgently needed there.
———————————————————————-
Learning from History:


In 1974, America was confronted with a rascal in the White House by the name of Richard M. Nixon. Unfortunately, Nixon was a despicable crook.

But in 1974, the Republican Party was blessed to have a few leaders with cajoles and a passion for America. Those noble Republicans walked into the White House at an appropriate time and let Nixon know that his time had elapsed and that, in the interests of the nation and himself, it was time to go.

To his credit, Richard M. Nixon did the honorable thing by resigning the presidency. On August 9, 1974, President Nixon boarded an Air Force helicopter on the lawn of the White House and made his way home to California.

America was grateful for the fact that our “national nightmare was over” and the healing process began immediately!
---------------------------------------------------------------

Today’s challenge: America needs three or four Democrats with or without cajoles to deliver a Nixon-like message to Barack Obama.  Namely, “Mr. President, Your Time Is Up!”

By leaving now, Mr. Obama can accomplish the most noble and patriotic act of his presidency. And America can begin healing.

Taxpayers Shell Out $40 Million for Obama & Biden Vacations! What About Lifestyle Inequality?



By John W. Lillpop


Democrats looking to deflect public attention from the ObamaCare disaster have taken up the mantra of income equality, the need for increases to the minimum wage, and other issues meant to highlight the plight of the less advantaged versus the advantages enjoyed by the more affluent elitist class.

Central to the liberal argument is the thesis that Democrats are on the side of the “little guy,” while Republicans are alleged to bestow their favors on the “bloated rich,” code language for fat, white, conservatives.

This distorted narrative is easily refuted, when one considers the case of vacation expenses shoved on the backs of taxpayers to fund luxury vacations by the Obama and Biden clans.

As reported:

The travel costs for vacations taken by the first family and the Bidens have reached over $40 million with the Air Force's revelation that two golf outings by President Obama this year cost $2.9 million, according to the taxpayer watchdog group Judicial Watch.
The group said that the Air Force provided documents and records that put the price of the first family's trip to Key Largo, Fla., in March at $885,683 just for flying Air Force One. The travel costs to golf in Palm Springs, Calif., in February, where the president also met with King Abdullah II of Jordan, was $2,066,594, said the Air Force documents, according to Judicial Watch.
Judicial Watch has been filing repeated Freedom of Information Act requests for travel costs and the Air Force has provided many documents during the administration.
So far, Judicial Watch said that it has tabulated vacation travel costs, mostly just Air Force jet time, at over $40 million. Far more money is spent on accommodations, communications, rooms and cars for staff, security and U.S. Secret Service protection, Navy and Coast Guard ships offshore and the pre-positioning of cars and helicopters, but those costs are not usually revealed.
“It is clear that the Obamas continually abuse the perks of the president’s office at taxpayer expense,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton in a statement to Secrets. “And it is particularly interesting that Obama has chosen to take not one but two luxury vacations back-to-back while inveighing against ‘income equality.’ President Obama’s waste of the hard-earned tax dollars of working Americans on unnecessary luxury travel is an abuse of office.”

Below is the full release provided by Judicial Watch:
Judicial Watch Obtains Records Revealing Obama’s 2014 Palm Springs and Key Largo Golf Outings Cost Taxpayers $2,952,278 for Flight Expenses Alone
(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced today, it has obtained records from the U.S. Department of the Air Force revealing that President Obama’s February 2014 Palm Springs, California, and March 2014 Key Largo, Florida, golf outings cost the taxpayers $2,952,278 for flight expenses alone.
According to the Department of Air Force documents, the flights to and from, Palm Springs for the February 17 – 20, 2014 trip totaled 9.8 hours at $210,877 an hour, which comes to a total of $2,066,594.60 in flight expenses. The records came in response to a Judicial Watch Freedom of request filed on February 18, 2014.
Also according to the Department of Air Force documents, the total cost for flights to and from Key Largo, Florida for the March 7 - 9 trip totaled 4.2 hours at $210,877, which comes to a total of $885,683.40 for flight in expenses. The records came in response to a Judicial Watch Freedom of Information Act request filed on March 10, 2014.
Though the administration billed the President’s Day weekend trip to California as an effort to highlight the state’s severe water drought, the White House official schedule showed the president spent just four hours at three drought-related events on the afternoon of Friday, February 14. He then spent much of the next three days playing golf at some of Coachella Valley, California’s, most exclusive golf courses, which, according to Fox News, “consume roughly 17 percent of all water there, and one quarter of the water pumped out of the region’s at-risk groundwater aquifer.” Each course uses nearly 1 million gallons of water a day.
During March 7 – 9, the First Family spent Spring Break at Key Largo, Florida’s, exclusive Ocean Reef Club, where members must have a minimum net worth of $35 million to join. According to its website, “the Club boasts two championship 18-hole courses, a rarity in the Florida Keys … a salon and spa, more than a dozen restaurants, a 175-slip marina, a private airport, and so much more.” The costly Spring Break vacation took place on the heels of Obama’s State of the Union Address in which he focused on income inequality.
According to records obtained by Judicial Watch, through FOIA requests and subsequent lawsuits, the Obamas and Bidens have spent more than $40 million taxpayer dollars on trips since 2009, beginning with the Obamas' much-publicized New York City "date night" in 2009 up through the president's most recent Palm Springs and Key Largo golf outings. The most lavish expenditure so far on record was for the Obamas’ 2013 Africa trip and Honolulu vacation, which cost taxpayers $15,885,585.30 in flight expenses alone. The single largest expense for accommodations was for Michelle Obama's side-trip to Dublin, Ireland, during the 2013 G-8 conference in Belfast, when she and her entourage booked 30 rooms at the five-star Shelbourne Hotel, with the first lady staying in the 1500 square-foot Princess Grace suite at a cost of $3,500 a night. The total cost to taxpayers for the Obamas' Ireland trip was $7,921,638.66.”

So, Democrats represent the “little guy” in America, do they?  And in doing so, they need $40 million just for vacations?

Talk about elitist abuse!
