Unprecedented spending and debt, nonexistent shovel ready jobs, persistent high rates of unemployment, and setbacks on terrorism hardly qualify as achievements.--Mike Bates
Are you highly critical of the president? Do you find that you don’t thank him nearly enough? Are you not giving him the credit that he deserves? Well it just might be that you are suffering from, “POST-TRAUMATIC FIRST AFRICAN-AMERICAN PRESIDENT SYNDROME or PTFAAPS!”
That’s right America, like, who knew that there was such a thing? But apparently, there is, according to Progressives. One progressive in particular coined the term. Liberal commentator and MSNBC contributor Karen Hunter said she is the one who named the disorder.
Apparently, “post-traumatic first African-American president Syndrome” is the diagnosis if we Americans don’t give Barry Hussein Soetoro his props. Progressives are all in a tizzy because they think Soetoro is not getting the credit that they think that he deserves. (see article)
Is this really a problem? Well CBS Harry Smith seemed concerned he even asked Mr. Soetoro if he felt he’s getting the credit that he thinks he deserves. (see: 29sec video)
No, no, no Mr. Soetoro it’s not the economy or your radical progressive agenda, no sir you’re not getting the credit that you think you deserve because Americans are suffering from PTFAAPS, Karen Hunter explains. (see 2:19min video)
See we are all the victims of “post-traumatic first American-American president Syndrome. “ Whew! I’m glad someone cleared that up. I knew something was wrong but I didn’t think it was I, my neighbors or my fellow citizens. I thought it was the lousy way the president and his progressive administration is running the country into the ground.
Unprecedented spending and debt, nonexistent shovel ready jobs, persistent high rates of unemployment, and setbacks on terrorism hardly qualify as achievements.--Mike Bates
After all this administration is spending more money than Americans, who are yet unborn can repay. It getting so bad that Democrats will willingly repeal Roe vs. Wade because we need all the help we can get to pay back this massive debt that the Soetoro administration and Democrats are compiling against future generations of Americans.
Must I mention that it’s coming upon election season? And one strategy that Democrats are considering to help them win in November is keeping everything that they have done in the last 18 months on the down low?
So how will Democrats talk about their many questionable accomplishments over the last 18 months? There is the passage of Healthcare, There was the takeover of AIG, the bailout of Goldman Sachs and banks, there is the 863 billion dollar stimulus vote and there is the takeover of the auto industry. Will Democrats proudly tout all of their “accomplishments” to the American this fall? Or do they have another tactic in mind?—Alaphiah
So I ask you, how does one get the credit that one thinks one deserves Mr. Soetoro if everything that one has done has been against the will of the American people? The American people are so peeved at what your Party has done, forcing your progressive agenda on Americans, that your Party doesn’t even want to talk about what you’ve done in the last 18 months. Not to mention Mr. president that you said that you think you deserve and would give yourself an incomplete for the last 18 months. (Soetoro gives himself an incomplete)
Maybe Mr. president the American people are holding you to your campaign promises that you didn’t keep. (see 1:47min video)
Remember you promised Mr. president the most ethical, most open and transparent presidency in the history of the United States. You promised that every bill would be shown to the American people before you signed it into law. Instead, what we got were empty promises. You passed your health care bill before anyone read it, you and Congress included. In fact, Nancy Pelosi told us that the bill had to be passed before we could know what was in it, of course breaking your campaign promise again. (see :10sec video)
So Mr. president maybe you are getting the credit that you deserve. Mind you, it may not be the credit that you wish or you want, but it is the credit that you deserve.
Why is that vein popping out from the Gentleman from New York, Representative Anthony Weiner’s head? In a most grandiloquent display in which the Gentleman from New York appeared he was “fit to be tied”, the Gentleman lambasted Republicans on the floor of the House of Representatives for the failure of H.R. 847, the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act to pass. (see 1:52min video)
Those dirty Republicans, right? Well not exactly, upon closer inspection and a little math not so fast Mr. Weiner.
There are presently 433 members in the House of Representatives at the time of this vote. The break down is 255 Democrats in majority and 179 Republicans in the minority with 2 vacancies.
The passage of the bill in question required a 2/3rds majority or 288 yes votes to pass which means that all 255 Democrats would have to vote yes.
In addition, they would also need 33 Republicans to join them. This would be very doable except that among other things Democrats made this 111th Congress a virtual North against the South battleground experience, largely due to their ongoing national efforts to demonize all Republicans.
Instead of creating an atmosphere of mutual respect and diplomacy in the Congress as true leadership would do. Democrats have chosen to foster an “us against them” partisan divide so vast and so full of vitriol that they believe they most excoriate Republicans at every political opportunity, hence the Gentleman from New York’s floor demonstration.
However, here’s the reality of the situation, Democrats did not have 255 Democrats to vote yes on this bill. Four Democrats voted no and Seven Democrats didn’t bother to vote at all. Therefore, only 243 Democrats out of 255 voted for this bill, so not all Democrats agreed with this bill’s passage. What’s more, twelve Republicans did vote yes to pass this bill. (Final vote count)
So once again, the Gentleman from New York attempted to make a partisan war out of something that his own party did not fully support. Why would the Gentleman from New York do such a thing?
Because Anthony Weiner, Mr. and Mrs. U.S. Citizen, is no Gentleman, Anthony Weiner is a Nancy Pelosi partisan who places party, agenda and ideology even above what is good for the United States of America.
You should remember this about Democrats in November!
In all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, and those in which a State shall be Party, the Supreme Court shall have original Jurisdiction.—Article III Section 2, U.S. Constitution
What does president Barry Hussein Soetoro, the Soetoro Justice Department, Judge Susan Bolden and Elena Kagan all have in common? They are all woefully ignorant of the Constitution of the United States of America. Either they are supremely ignorant of the constitution or they are anarchists or both.
The Constitution specifically affirms that if a case is involving a State, that case is to be filed directly in the Supreme Court of the United States of America. You would think that the smartest president in the history of the United States of America and all of the brilliant people that he has surrounded himself with would know this.
On the contrary, this constitutional ignorant administration doesn’t know the first thing about the Constitution it’s like when he was a candidate he didn’t know how many states are in the Union…57 or the additional two that he said his staff didn’t let him go to.
In all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, and those in which a State shall be Party, the supreme Court shall have original Jurisdiction. —Article III Section 2, U.S. Constitution
The fact is judge Susan Bolden had no standing to adjudicating this matter, one would think she would have known that. The fact is Bolden’s decision in the case; “United States of American vs. State of Arizona; and Janice K. Brewer, Governor of the State of Arizona, in her Official Capacity, CV 10-1413-PHX-SRB” is not worth the paper that it was written on. The fact that the case was filed in the federal district court, the fact that it was heard in the federal district court and the fact that it was decided in the federal district court is all, unconstitutional. Once again confirming that this is the most unconstitutional administration in the history of the United States of America.
One would think that the Clinton appointee, Federal District Judge Susan Bolden would know the law well enough to know that she had no standing to hear this case. If she did not know, Judge Bolden has also shown her ignorance of the constitution. Furthermore, this president touts the fact that he taught Constitutional law, so why didn’t he know the District Court had not standing to hear this case? He too has repeatedly proved that he is woefully ignorant of the constitution.
Finally this constitutionally inept president has nominated, and the Democrat controlled Senate is about to confirm an equally constitutionally ignorant person to be a justice on the Supreme Court, Elena Kagan.
Senator Jeff Sessions explains why no one who values the constitution can vote to confirm Elena Kagan. (see 9:07 min video)
The Barry Hussein Soetoro presidency continues to exhibit a blatant disregard for the constitution. First by not enforcing it, thus consciously allowing, no aiding and abetting, illegal entry into the United States, though they are sworn to enforce the constitution. Secondly, the Soetoro administration disregarded the constitution by working directly against it, i.e. wrongly suing a State in constitutional principle and venue.
First suing a State that is attempting to follow constitutional mandate to protect the United States is wrong. Second for the Soetoro, administration to bring this suit in District Court instead of the Supreme Court was unconstitutional and wrong.
The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion—Article III Section IV, U.S. Constitution
The constitution guarantees that the Federal government shall protect the States from invasion. Arizona is clearly being invaded.
Not only is Arizona being invaded the invaders have declared war on Arizona and the United States by placing a one million dollar bounty on a citizen of the United States of America. Due to the invasion of Arizona by illegal aliens and threats of murder against a U.S. citizen, who is a law enforcement agent, by a Mexican Drug Cartel. Therefore Arizona is within its constitutional rights to engage in war with Mexico.
No State shall…engage in War, unless actually invaded—Article I Section X, U.S. Constitution
I’d say that Democrats, this president, and Democrat appointed judges have some boning up on the constitution to do.
Allow me to make it plain president Soetoro. Your administration has a constitutional responsibility to stop illegal aliens from entering the United States. Your administration has a constitutional responsibility to support Arizona in its efforts to protect America from this Illegal Agent invasion.
Nevertheless, it bears repeating, when the federal government abdicates it’s duties to protect a State from illegal entry and a State is invaded that State has the constitutional authority to engage in war against such invaders.
Not only is Judge Susan Bolden’s decision to interfere with Arizona’s illegal alien law unconstitutional, she has no standing in this matter, and therefore her decision is invalid. there is nothing preventing Arizona from enacting Arizona SB1070 in full Governor Brewer should.
If Arizona enacted SB1070 fully, over judge Bolden’s decision they would by completely within their constitutional rights to do so. Just think that would be such a teachable moment for the constitutional ignorant Barry Hussein Soetoro, the Soetoro administration and Judge Susan Bolden.
Shame on the lot of you, Mr. Soetoro because such ignorance of the law and constitution is no excuse!
They are the masters of deception, political schemers. They are Machiavellian in word and deed. They are Democrats. And now that they must face the electorate this November to account for what they’ve done because they are in sole control of the Executive Branch, in majority control of the Legislative Branch and they benefit from a Left lending Judicial Branch. What is new is they have no Bush to hide behind, for the first time in years Democrats will give an account for their ideologies, their political philosophies and their deeds.
Yes, all unscrupulous things of Democrat past were hidden behind a wall of blame Bush until now. And now that there are no more plausible Bush excuses it is interesting to see Democrats flail about looking for a new Bush scapegoat and sometimes that scapegoat has been you and me, the American people.
So how will Democrats talk about their many questionable accomplishments over the last 18 months? There is the passage of Healthcare, There was the takeover of AIG, the bailout of Goldman Sachs and banks, there is the 863 billion dollar stimulus vote and there is the takeover of the auto industry. Will Democrats proudly tout all of their “accomplishments” to the American this fall? Or do they have another tactic in mind?
I have an idea, Democrats can always use the “Bush made us do it,” excuse. Oh wait a moment; they’re already using that excuse. William McGurn of the Opinion Journal discusses the Democrats' deception strategy for the 2010 fall elections. (see 4:51min video)
Shame, is that it? Democrats are not going to talk about all of the legislation that they’ve been a part of because they are ashamed of what they have done. Imagine that!
You mean, all of the spending, all of the partisan politicking and all of the forcing through their agenda, and Democrats are ashamed of it all.
They would rather not talk about it. Imagine that.
America is no longer what it could be, what it once was and I say to myself I don’t want that future for my children—Barry Hussein Soetoro
The men who envisioned, planned and fought for the creation of the United States of America where and rightly are called Founding Fathers.
Therefore, the man who is presiding over America’s demise or America’s failing in Post-Constitutional America should equally be called a Failing Father of America. Barry Hussein Soetoro is a Failing Father of America. (see :39sec video)
Yes President Soetoro, we can all feel it. America is no longer what it could be; America is no longer what it once was. We all know that we are not better off than we were 5-years ago. We know we’re not better off now than we were when Bush was President. We know that we are worst, much worst.
For example, there are Mexican flags waving in the streets of Arizona, no longer attempting to hide the Mexican invasion of America. These thronging crowds in Phoenix are celebrating the decision of Judge Susan Bolden to allow illegality to become de facto legal. Judge Bolden’s decision represents the demise of a country, the country, the United States of America. (see 3:39min video)
Agents of foreign powers protesting in the streets of America like we see in Phoenix Arizona would have never been tolerated in the Constitutional America but in the Post-Constitutional America and under the Failing Father Barry Hussein Soetoro this is not only permitted but it is encouraged by actions of the administration.
The United States of America is “no longer what it could be, what it once was” to borrow a phrase from the Failing Father of America, Barry Hussein Soetoro.
President Soetoro is presiding over the failing of America though he is not the first president to do so. Every president since William Jefferson Clinton has done so, however, Soetoro is the first President that has pursued the failing of America with such abandon that the American people have finally awaken to the reality that America is on a head first downward spiral.
Americans now realize that America has been toppled off of its perch of Exceptionalism and is headed downward to the ash heap of ordinary third world country status via jobs and industry outsourcing and via illegal alien (cheap labor) invasion.
[T]his "brief moment in history" when the US had pre-eminent military, economic and political power, would not last.
"This is just a period, a few decades this will last, and I think that all of us who are Americans should think about this and ask ourselves how do we wish this moment to be judged 50 years from now," --Former President William Jefferson Clinton (source)
William Jefferson Clinton warned us in 2002 while he was speaking in Australia that this day would come and come it has. It is well documented that Clinton attempted to hasten the day of equalizing world power by giving U.S. secrets to China. So it should be no surprise that China is positioned to overtake American as the pre-eminent military, economic and political power in the world.
If Clinton lessened the military power of the United States Barry Hussein Soetoro is finishing the job by lessening U.S. economic and political powers.
You know about the in-your-face socialization of the U.S. Health care industry, you know about the government takeover of the auto industry but what you are probably less informed about is the de facto changing of the Constitution by non-enforcement and the disregarding of its laws.
One such proof is a memo from the Soetoro administration’s Department of Homeland Security, Immigration section where the Soetoro administration is plotting to grant amnesty to all 20 million illegal aliens in the United States by by-passing the United States Senate.
USCIS memo, drafted by Chief of Policy and Strategy for U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Denise Vanison, outlines 18 different ways for the Obama Administration to essentially eliminate our borders through regulatory fiat in clear violation of the letter and the spirit of U.S. immigration laws. (NumbersUSA)(see memo below)
This is a fundamental change to the way we do things in America. In America we have a Congress that is the legislative branch of a tri-part form of government. The Founding Fathers meant to keep any of the other parts of government from acting outside of its constitutional powers.
What is so ironic about this memo is that it violates the principles that the Soetoro administration set forth in their court arguments against Arizona SB1070. The administration argued and the Judge Susan Bolden agreed that if Arizona SB1070 was enacted fully it would be doing a job that the federal government should be doing.
Likewise if the Soetoro administration enacts amnesty for 40million illegal aliens and their families by Executive fiat, then the Executive would be doing the job of the Legislative branch. This is clearly un-Constitutional.
What the American people are slowly beginning to recognize via the “Soetoro birth certificate” controversy is there is no one in America that has the “standing” to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States according to Federal Judges. No one!
Let me say this again, there is no one in America that can protect and defend the Constitution if the Executive Branch of the United States of America decides to change the constitution by non-enforcement or by simply disregarding the constitution if the other branches turn a blind eye to the developing tyranny that we are seeing in the Soetoro administration.
Therefore the Failing Father of the United States of America Barry Hussein Soetoro is presiding over the Post-Constitutional demise of the United States.
America is failing. No American has standing to protect or defend the Constitution.
The dangerous legal progressive activist legislator,if she’s nominated to bench, Elena Kagan
I don’t think the America people are going to hold harmless those who vote to impose a legal progressive activist legislator from the bench upon them.—Sen. Jeff Sessions
On the floor of the Senator Jeff Sessions in no uncertain terms warned his fellow Senators what the ramifications to the United States will be if Elena Kagan is confirmed to the Supreme Court.
For all of the Lindsey Graham Republicans who will vote for Kagan to go along to get along with Democrats you have no excuse, you have been warned right there on the Senate floor. You will not be able to say you didn’t know when your term approaches and you have to face the American people. See Sen. Sessions warning. (see 3:21min video)
A Progressive in the mould of Obama himself—Greg Craig former Counsel to president Barack Obama commenting on Elena Kagan
As Sen. Sessions forewarning goes out to everyone who will listen Elena Kagan is, “a dangerous Progressive Political…Nominee.”
Republicans who love this country and who love the Constitution shouldn’t vote for her. But neither should Democrats.
"There is a substantial likelihood that officers will wrongfully arrest legal resident aliens under the new (law), by enforcing this statute, Arizona would impose a 'distinct, unusual and extraordinary' burden on legal resident aliens that only the federal government has the authority to impose."— U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton
The argument is this, If the Federal government abdicates it’s Constitutional duties (which it has) which are to protect American borders and protect the American people, is a State within the Constitution if that State enforces Constitutional laws that the Federal government refuses to enforce?
Clinton appointee Judge Susan Bolton is symptomatic of everything that is wrong with America. She has made herself complicit in the Federal government’s violation of the Constitution of the United States of America. We are no longer a nation of laws; we are now, a nation of progressive judicial rulings.(see article)
Judge Bolden did not rule on the facts of Arizona’s immigration case nor did she rule on the law. Instead Judge Bolton ruled on the nonsensical “what if” arguments that the Barry Hussein Soetoro administration have been floating in the Progressive Leftwing Media. (Complaint)(Response)(Decision)
The Soetoro administration mischaracterized this case as a civil rights issue instead of the National security or National sovereignty issue that it is. And judge Bolton foolishly bought these unreasonable arguments instead of applying the law. This is exactly the danger of an Elena Kagan and a Sonia Sotomayor on the U.S. Supreme Court because this is exactly what they will do.
The Soetoro administration argued “what if” resident aliens or even Mexican Americans are stopped and asked about their citizenship wouldn’t that be a violation of their civil rights? They also argued, “what if“ there is racial profiling would that be a violation of civil rights?
The Soetoro administration argued for the court to accept that there might be instances of civil rights violations, if Arizona police in the normal conduct of their duties ask someone in a lawful contact to show some identification. Judge Susan Bolton did.
The answers to these “what if” arguments where so simple that even a Federal judge couldn’t mess up a decision on the facts, until of course Judge Susan Bolton did. It is clear now that her apparent inability to adjudicate unbiasly and logically is probably why this Clinton appointee was selected to hear this case.
That notwithstanding, the answers are, one: we are all subject to being stopped and asked for identification. There is no undue civil rights burden placed on anyone asked to produce identification in this manner. As citizens, we carry identification with us at all times. Two, the Arizona law is explicitly written specifically to prevent and discourage racial profiling. Racial profiling is a politically correct trumped up non sequitur meant to cloud the debate and divide the America people by the Left.
Look every time you and I are stopped by the police we are asked for identification, but according to Judge Bolton’s ruling illegal aliens are now a special protected class complete with special rights, they cannot be asked the question that hundreds of thousands of Americans are asked every day, “May I see some identification.” Below are provisions of Arizona’s 1070 bill that Judge Bolton blocked.
Key parts of Senate Bill 1070 that will not go into effect Thursday:
• The portion of the law that requires an officer make a reasonable attempt to determine the immigration status of a person stopped, detained or arrested if there's reasonable suspicion they're in the country illegally.
• The portion that creates a crime of failure to apply for or carry "alien-registration papers."
• The portion that makes it a crime for illegal immigrants to solicit, apply for or perform work. (This does not include the section on day laborers.)
• The portion that allows for a warrantless arrest of a person where there is probable cause to believe they have committed a public offense that makes them removable from the United States.
Andy McCarthy said that this decision is "nuts"
The judge, however, twisted to concept of federal law into federal enforcement practices (or, as it happens, lack thereof). In effect, the court is saying that if the feds refuse to enforce the law the states can't do it either because doing so would transgress the federal policy of non-enforcement ... which is nuts.
The judge also employs a cute bit of sleight-of-hand. She repeatedly invokes a 1941 case, Hines v. Davidowitz, in which the Supreme Court struck down a state alien-registration statute. In Hines, the high court reasoned that the federal government had traditionally followed a policy of not treating aliens as "a thing apart," and that Congress had therefore "manifested a purpose ... to protect the liberties of law-abiding aliens through one uniform national system" that would not unduly subject them to "inquisitorial practices and police surveillance." But the Arizona law is not directed at law-abiding aliens in order to identify them as foreigners and subject them, on that basis, to police attention. It is directed at arrested aliens who are in custody because they have violated the law. --Andy McCarthy (source)
Judge Bolton has done irreparable harm to the integrity and independence of all U.S. jurisprudence. Her ruling is further confirmation of the corruption of Executive, Legislative and Judicial branches of the U.S. government.
It is apparent to everyone except the Radical Progressives and Judge Susan Bolton, that the Federal Government is engaged complicatedly with the enemies of the United States to fundamentally change this country. Change it from a country based on the principles of the Constitution and the Founding Fathers into a nation that no longer is a nation of laws but a nation of progressive judicial rulings.
Newt Gingrich and Howard Dean both left pants on the ground regarding the Shirley Sherrod Racism incident in their interviews with Fox News Chris Wallace.
We learned earlier this month that a leftwing group affiliated with the website “Journolist” have plans in place to defeat those who they consider enemies by hurling the Leftwing invective “Racist” at enemies whether they are Racist or not and whether there is evidence of the charge or not.
Many of these “Journalists” write for major newspapers around the country so they regularly access and influence the public square of ideas. In fact they may have helped get Barry Hussein Soetoro elected president by quashing unfavorable stories about him while targeting his opponents with negative and detrimental stories.(see previous post)
The Leftwing has discovered that they can race-bait all they want and at the same time if they want to defeat someone who they perceive is on the right all they have to do is identify them a Racist whether the charge is true or not.
Apparently, the “Racist” epithet is so heinous that when it was reported that a member of the Soetoro administration had made some racist statements at an NAACP meeting the Soetoro administration immediately called for and got Shirley Sherrod’s resignation.
And I think this threads the needle. If the right forces us all to either defend [Rev. Jeremiah] Wright or tear him down, no matter what we choose, we lose the game they’ve put upon us. Instead, take one of them — Fred Barnes, Karl Rove, who cares — and call them racists. Ask: why do they have such a deep-seated problem with a black politician who unites the country? What lurks behind those problems? This makes *them* sputter with rage, which in turn leads to overreaction and self-destruction.—Spencer Ackerman
So in a recent Chris Wallace Fox News interview Newt Gingrich and Howard Dean, on the subject of Ms. Sherrod, look foolish. What was interesting is how politically inept and transparent both of these men were.
Gingrich ineptness shows every time he shoots his mouth off before he knows the facts. Wallace was ready to show Mr. Gingrich his pattern of commenting on situations before knowing the facts. If Gingrich aspires to run for the presidency, he’ll need to improve much in this area.
I've made a career standing up to that kind of stuff and I think that was a mistake on the part of the Obama administration. But I'm not going to let the right wing press off the hook on this. –Howard Dean
However, Howard Dean is just a straight Partisan Pol who disregards facts as most cats avoid water. It was clear that Dean by his own statement was there to call Fox News Racist and smash Rightwing News through a plate-glass window to let them know that there is a cost for reporting on Leftwing Racism thereby putting Rightwing News in a constant state of fear.
However when confronted with the facts as Chris Matthews forced Dean to do, Dean still insisted that there was a Racist somewhere (that wasn’t Democrat) and he was going to find him or her and make them live in a constant state of fear.
“[R]aise the cost on the right of going after the left. In other words, find a right-winger’s [sic] and smash it through a plate-glass window. Take a snapshot of the bleeding mess and send it out in a Christmas card to let the right know that it needs to live in a state of constant fear.”— Spencer Ackerman
(see 7:19min video)
GINGRICH: I have on occasion sided with the NAACP's characterizations. All I'm suggesting, and I think it's very worrisome to people:
If the Obama Administration is this afraid of Glenn Beck, how do they deal with the Iranians? I mean, if, if they a news show forces this level of...
DEAN: There may be some similarities, Newt. There may be some similarities.
What is interesting is that both Gingrich and Dean seemed to acknowledge and agreed that the way the Soetoro administration fired Shirley Sherrod and mishandled this latest Racism from the White house flap it is becoming clear that the real Racists are in the White house and live in a state of constant fear.
Goldman Sachs sent $4.3 billion in federal tax money to 32 entities, including many overseas banks, hedge funds and pensions, according to information made public Friday night. -- Karen Mracek and Thomas Beaumont
America is bleeding.
For decades, American corporations without any fidelity to the country of their birth have been outsourcing the manufacturing base and economic infrastructure of America to India and China for slave labor wages and usurious profits.
At least since 1983 to 2004 2 million manufacturing jobs are estimated outsourced to foreign countries. The trend has not slowed and is not reversing in the years subsequent 2004 until now.
2 million manufacturing jobs that are estimated to have moved offshore since 1983. These numbers are predicted to rise. Management consulting firm McKinsey & Company's economic think tank, the McKinsey Global Institute, predicts that white-collar offshoring will increase at a rate of 30 percent to 40 percent over the next five years. By 2015, Forrester predicts, roughly 3.3 million service jobs will have moved offshore, including 1.7 million "back office" jobs such as payroll processing and accounting, and 473,000 jobs in the information technology industry. --Sharon Otterman, Council on Foreign Relations (source)
In a one, two punch first to the abdomen and then to the head, America has been hit by treacherous corporate practices meant to empower and enrich the new “International Corporations” that have divest themselves from their mother country through decades of outsourced American jobs . Now the coup de grace American tax payers were forced to bailout Goldman Sachs and AIG who plotted, planned and executed the Global financial meltdown and then acted as a front to send Billions of America's taxpayer money to foreign banks. Again, America is bleeding.(see article) (see 5:13min video)
All of this is happening because the guardians of the American people, the U.S. Congress and the U.S. president are complicit in the bleeding of the America people. It was the Congress and the President who approved the bailouts, it is Congress and the President that continue to heap mountains of debt on the American people in the middle of the greatest economic depression since the great depression and it is Congress and the President that are using this economic crisis to advance their expensive Progressive Socialist Big Government plan.
"We thought originally we were bailing out AIG. Then later on ... we learned that the money flowed through AIG to a few big banks, and now we know that the money went from these few big banks to dozens of financial institutions all around the world."-- Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Ia.
In addition, it is Congress and the President that continue to preside over a jobless economy with no plans to hold “International Corporations” responsible for gutting the U.S. economic infrastructure.
The only plan that this Congress and this president has is asking for more American taxpayer money to enlarge the federal government. This is what they call job creation and job stimulus.
America is bleeding. The bleeding is called, spreading America’s wealth around the world or the bleeding is called the great transference of wealth from the West to the East. Whatever one calls it know this, American is bleeding jobs and taxpayer moneys and our Congress and president are complicit in the bloodletting.
Billions of dollars for Global warming by governments, foundations, multinational corporations, even Big Oil but where’s the warming?
Global warming has billions of dollars, governments, foundations, multinational corporations, movie stars and Big Oil all backing it. That it doesn’t have is the Global actually getting warmer.
Christopher Booker notes that these are desperate days for advocates of Catastrophic Global Warming. There is no worldwide GW weather Catastrophe, there is no worldwide warming. Furthermore, the science that global warming was built on has been proven massively fraudulent and based on bad information, and lies.
In addition, according to the Al Gore’s original GW claims which he started in 1990 with his slideshow presentations which, evolved into a 2006 Book and Movie, “AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH, The Planetary Emergency of Global Warming and What We Can Do About It.” The United States is supposed to be submerged in Ocean water within five to six years of his claim. However, the EPA claims that sea levels will rise during the next century.
"The area where the World Trade Center Memorial is to be located would be under water" - Al Gore
The EPA estimates the sea levels to rise from 50 to 200 cm during the next century. Approximately 14,000 sq miles of the U.S. will be inundated. (see source)(see 1:04min video)
The die has been cast and although the theory of Anthropogenic Global Warming is discredited and everyone who supports the theory of AGW has been exposed as frauds. There is so much deception, money, foreign and domestic government backing behind the implementation of a worldwide carbon cap and trade scheme that truth no longer matters only usurious profits for carbon traders, big oil companies and the carbon investors that embrace the Global warming scheme.
I FIND MYSELF NOT GUILY
No doubt, you’ve heard of the University of East Anglia emails that were leaked last November suggesting some of the world's leading climate scientists engaged in professional misconduct. Well just recently, the East Anglia University commissioned their very own study and found themselves not guilty of any wrongdoing in the dubious undertaking that is dubbed Climategate. (see article)
Last week "The Independent Climate Change E-mails Review," commissioned and paid for by the University of East Anglia, exonerated the University of East Anglia. The review committee was chaired by Sir Muir Russell, former vice chancellor at the University of Glasgow.-- PATRICK J. MICHAELS
So now warming alarmists are once again up to their old three phase tactics:
• Attribute to global warming almost any unusual weather event anywhere in the world.
• Repeat incessantly that the official inquiries into the "Climategate" scandal have cleared the top IPCC scientists involved of any wrongdoing, and that their science has been "vindicated"
• Claim that leading skeptics only question warmist orthodoxy because they have been funded by "Big Oil" and the "fossil fuel industry"
They think, we of course, are too stupid to recognize that cap and trade is a global initiative to transfer U.S. tax payer moneys to fund an international government (one world government) as well as fund an international business scheme.
The pseudo science of Climate change is just the vehicle to get U.S. taxpayers to commit their moneys without a revolt against government and international business. If U.S. citizens can be duped into a supposed noble cause as, saving the planet it will be too late to change when they are finally made aware that their government officials in Congress sold them out to Carbon Traders and the United Nations.
[T]he big oil companies have long been putting their real money into projects dedicated to showing how they are in favor of a "low-carbon economy". In 2002, Exxon gave $100 million to Stanford University to fund research into energy sources needed to fight global warming. BP, which rebranded itself in 2004 as "Beyond Petroleum", gave $500 million to fund similar research.—Christopher Booker
To be sure, nothing is, as it seems the science of Global Warming does not match the empirical data and our government is no longer acting on behalf of the people of the United States.
The Grantham Institute provides another example. It was set up at the LSE and Imperial College with £24 million from Jeremy Grantham, an investment fund billionaire, to advise governments and firms on how to promote and invest in ways to "fight climate change", now one of the fastest-growing and most lucrative businesses in the world.—Christopher Booker
Don’t be silly Climate Change is not some altruist movement to save the earth, Climate Change is going to be a multi-trillion dollar international business funded by taxpayer’s money.
Don’t believe me, look around if Carbon dioxide actually trapped heat in our atmosphere and that heat had nowhere to go causing the earth’s temperatures to increase then why are we experiencing global cooling?
According to records obtained by The Daily Caller, at several points during the 2008 presidential campaign a group of liberal journalists took radical steps to protect their favored candidate. Employees of news organizations including Time, Politico, the Huffington Post, the Baltimore Sun, the Guardian, Salon and the New Republic participated in outpourings of anger over how Obama had been treated in the media, and in some cases plotted to fix the damage.-- Jonathan Strong
Liberals hate Conservatives. All of them. They hate every last iota of a Republican!
King Shamir Shabazz of New Black Panther fame, couldn’t have said it any better. The Left wants the Right to live in a state of constant fear. Hum, that sounds a little like terrorism to me. Just a little! You know what else sounds like terrorism, the remarks of “Journolist” member Spencer Ackerman (the Shamir Shabazz of Journalism) of the Washington Independent who encouraged his fellow Leftwing Liberal Media Elite reporters to, “raise the cost on the right of going after the left.
In other words, find a rightwinger’s [sic] and smash it through a plate-glass window. Take a snapshot of the bleeding mess and send it out in a Christmas card to let the right know that it needs to live in a state of constant fear.” Boy! Shamir Shabazz could take some lesson on hate from this guy. And one wonders why politics are so volatile in 2010? It’s because the Left has literally declared Jihad on the Right.
In 2008, Barry Hussein Soetoro was a candidate for the Presidency of the United States of America. Videos surfaced of Obama’s pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, angrily denouncing whites, the U.S. government and America. During an ABC News Presidential debate moderated by Charlie Gibson and George Stephanopoulos, Mr. Soetoro was asked about his affiliation with the Rev. Wright and why he had not responded, until of late, to charges that Rev. Wright seemed to be an anti-American, anti-Semitic Racist. And by inference, because he sat in Wright’s church for 20 years, Mr. Soetoro was too.
Unknown to Americans liberal journalists were watching the debate too and they took offense that Mr. Soetoro was being treated as any other candidate would be treated in a similar situation. These journalists were connected by a liberal media site called “Journolist” and they conspired to affect the 2008 elections by protecting Mr. Soetoro from what they considered unfair treatment.
At the same time these “journalist” plotted to promote Mr. Soetoro’s cause they also plotted to smear his Republican opponents with charges of Racism. (see article)
These are the revelations of The Daily Caller’s Jonathan Strong. According to Mr. Strong, employees of news organizations including but not limited to Time, Politico, the Huffington Post, the Baltimore Sun, the Guardian, Salon and the New Republic colluded to throw the election into the favor of Barry Hussein Soetoro.
In one instance, Spencer Ackerman of the Washington Independent urged his colleagues to deflect attention from Obama’s relationship with Wright by changing the subject. Pick one of Obama’s conservative critics, Ackerman wrote, “Fred Barnes, Karl Rove, who cares — and call them racists.”—Jonathan Strong
It is one thing to promote your favor candidate, it is quite another thing to promote a candidate while using the supposed expectation of neutrality that the media is given. The unsuspecting public had no idea that a media conspiracy was afoot. But there was, and that conspiracy was simply to get Barry Hussein Soetoro elected president at any cost.
“Part of me doesn’t like this shit either,” agreed Spencer Ackerman, then of the Washington Independent. “But what I like less is being governed by racists and warmongers and criminals.”—Jonathan Strong
More than a conspiracy, it was declared war. The left declared jihad on the right just as sure as Osama bin Laden declared jihad on the United States in 1998.
Ackerman went on:
I do not endorse a Popular Front, nor do I think you need to. It’s not necessary to jump to Wright-qua-Wright’s defense. What is necessary is to raise the cost on the right of going after the left. In other words, find a rightwinger’s [sic] and smash it through a plate-glass window. Take a snapshot of the bleeding mess and send it out in a Christmas card to let the right know that it needs to live in a state of constant fear. Obviously, I mean this rhetorically.
And I think this threads the needle. If the right forces us all to either defend Wright or tear him down, no matter what we choose, we lose the game they’ve put upon us. Instead, take one of them — Fred Barnes, Karl Rove, who cares — and call them racists. Ask: why do they have such a deep-seated problem with a black politician who unites the country? What lurks behind those problems? This makes *them* sputter with rage, which in turn leads to overreaction and self-destruction.—Jonathan Strong
Smoking gun? It was always suspected that the Media is Liberal, ergo the name the Liberal Media Elite. Now, it simply cannot be denied with any credibility.
Instead of fulfilling its duties as the Constitutional Fourth Estate, those who comprise the Liberal Media Elite have chosen a side and that is neither neutral nor unbiased.
The Liberal Media Elite is an arm of the political Progressive Liberal Democrats and they control much of what is seen and heard in the media in this country. They also control messaging with the small exception of Fox News (which they are attempting to destroy with help directly from the White house). Any Conservative media outlet like talk radio for example is being targeted by Liberal Media Elite.
Their tactics seem to be:
• Ignoring news that would potentially be unfavorable to their Party and politician(s).
• Calling their Political opponents Racist
• Smearing their political rivals in general
• Terrorizing the Right with unfavable media (think Sara Palin)
• Giving the appearance of neutrality and objectivity
• Playing mind games on the Right
• Destroying Fox News
• Demonizing Talk Radio
There can be no doubt when one hears the echo chamber of reports like, “President Obama signs sweeping Financial Regulations” Over and over again, ad infinitum on every station and channel except Fox News (but even them sometimes too)without any analysis or questioning, you just need to understand that media is no longer reporting the News.
The Liberal Media Elite is ensuring that their favor politician get his message out. While at the same time, they intend that Conservatives be made to live in a state of constant fear. They wish to crush and destroy Conservatism.
Spencer Ackerman might even enjoy killing some Conservative babies. Obviously, I mean this rhetorically.
They who would trade liberty for security soon have none and deserve neither.-- (Both Franklin 1775 and Thomas Jefferson said variations of this about the same time of the Founding of the United States)
People on the left were incensed when former president Bush used warrantless wire tapping as a tool to fight terrorism. They made wild and exaggerated claims that he was shredding the Constitution.
So why aren’t those same people concerned when we have a President and Congress that show so little regard for the Framers and the Constitution? Instead of accusing Priest and Arkin of undermining National Security without evaluating what they’re reporting why don’t we objectively look for who represents real threats to our liberties.
Unlike a Thomas M. Tamm, a former lawyer in the United States Department of Justice's Office of Intelligence Policy and Review who Liberals hail as a hero for leaking to the press warrantless NSA surveillance during the Bush administration. Washington Post’s Investigative reporter Dana Priest, columnist, and reporter, William M. Arkin spent two years investigating this story for a report to the American people. By the way, the courts found that president Bush wiretaps where in fact Constitutional. (see article)
Tamm has admitted that his leak was politically motivated. He’s conceded that it was his anger over other Bush-administration policies at the Justice Department that helped justify in his mind to bypass procedures in place for “whistleblowers. The policies that Tamm was most upset with included the Bush administration’s aggressive pursuit of death-penalty cases and the legal justifications for "enhanced" interrogation techniques that many believe are tantamount to torture. The NSA warrantless wiretaps were but the final straw that lead Tamm to go directly to the press to leak government classified secrets.(see article)
This is not the case with reporters Priest and Arkin who plainly state that after 9/11 they saw the exponential expansion of secretive government and launched a two-year investigation. Priest and Arkin included the government at several points in this investigation, they allowed the government to see the report site several months ago in case the government had any concerns. When the government had specific concerns about material, those things were removed. (see 7:25min video)
With all of the organizing, money and resources expended since 2001, we need to know why we have had intelligence failures such as the Fort Hood shooting and the Christmas plane-bombing attempt.
Last fall, U.S. Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan allegedly opened fire at Fort Hood, Tex., killing 13 people and wounding 30. In the days after the shootings, information emerged about Hasan's increasingly strange behavior at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, where he had trained as a psychiatrist and warned commanders that they should allow Muslims to leave the Army or risk "adverse events." He had also exchanged e-mails with a well-known radical cleric in Yemen being monitored by U.S. intelligence.
But none of this reached the one organization charged with handling counterintelligence investigations within the Army.—Dana Priest and William Arkin
We need to know what this government is doing and why what it is doing is not working.
These were all clues to what would happen when a Nigerian named Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab left Yemen and eventually boarded a plane in Amsterdam bound for Detroit. But nobody put them together because, as officials would testify later, the system had gotten so big that the lines of responsibility had become hopelessly blurred.—Dana Priest and William Arkin
Priest and Arkin are not harming Intelligence work in this country. On the contrary, they are performing the country a service as the fourth estate.
They who would trade liberty for security soon have none and deserve neither.-- (Both Franklin 1775 and Thomas Jefferson said variations of this about the same time of the Founding of the United States)
I’ve read the brief Washington Times’ Quin Hillyer article entitled, “Is Wash Post harming intelligence work?” It included memo embedded in it allegedly from Mission Support Center of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. Hillyer questioned whether rival paper the Washington Post’s two-year investigative report on secrecy in the federal government was somehow compromising National Security. (see article)
The short answer is no, it is not!
And in response I say the question ought to be—is anyone going to do enough to protect the American people from this unprecedented build up of federal power? (see :21sec video)
Presently there is a move afoot to amass power in the federal government. The FCC just claimed power over Internet providers (see article)
The Senate just gave the President power to shut down the internet. (see article)
Over every sphere of American life, from what we eat to how we think, the federal government is encroaching into places that the founding fathers specifically designed the Bill of Rights and Constitution to prevent it from doing as long as we are the United States of America. What ’s more, those in the government are using National Security concerns to do it.
The fact that this administration promised to be the most transparent administration in the history of the United States lends itself to a curtain irony when we find out by the reporting of Dana Priest and William Arkin that this government is spending billions upon billions of dollars dedicated to secrecy. (see article)
Nine days after the attacks, Congress committed $40 billion beyond what was in the federal budget to fortify domestic defenses and to launch a global offensive against al-Qaeda. It followed that up with an additional $36.5 billion in 2002 and $44 billion in 2003. That was only a beginning.
With the quick infusion of money, military and intelligence agencies multiplied. Twenty-four organizations were created by the end of 2001, including the Office of Homeland Security and the Foreign Terrorist Asset Tracking Task Force. In 2002, 37 more were created to track weapons of mass destruction, collect threat tips and coordinate the new focus on counter-terrorism. That was followed the next year by 36 new organizations; and 26 after that; and 31 more; and 32 more; and 20 or more each in 2007, 2008 and 2009.—Dana Priest and William Arkin
Does this portend of the Obama Civil Security force that is just as powerful, just as strong and just as well funded as the military? Just what is the government planning to do with all that power? Moreover, what do they know about threats, if any, on the horizon? (see 1:47min video)
Tomorrow: Are we trading our Liberty for Security?
[T]he IRS is already "greatly taxed"—pun intended?—"by the additional role it is playing in delivering social benefits and programs to the American public," like tax credits for first-time homebuyers or purchasing electric cars. Yet with ObamaCare, the agency is now responsible for "the most extensive social benefit program the IRS has been asked to implement in recent history."—WSJ Opinion Journal
Barry Hussein Soetoro emphatically stated that he was a believer in knowing what one is doing before taking on a job. With that bit of wisdom, he implied that he would not to run for the Office of President of the United States in 2008. Ok, ok just the first of many lies that this man would tell. The just elected Senator of Illinois said he believed that he would virtually have to start running for President from day one of his Senate term. (now that was true!)(see: 36sec. video)
Well, here we are Soetoro is president of the United States and out of a 6 year Senate term Soetoro worked about a total of 143 days as an active Senator and the rest he spent campaigning for president. I’d say he owes Illinois a little less than three and a half years of salary for a job that he was hired to do but didn’t do.
That aside this president has saddled America and America’s future generations with debt so unsustainable that China could foreclose on America any day and make us all move out. Wouldn’t that be a sight? I can envision a mass invasion into Mexico with Mexico’s president Felipe Calderon welcoming Americans with open arms, “Mi paÃs es tu paÃs!” And of course we would expect immediate citizenship, we’d expect to vote in Mexico’s elections and of course we’d need emergency room and medical access, we’d expect welfare and free education for our children while we look for jobs that Mexican’s won’t do because the pay used to be a bit better in America.
But I digress, before anything like that (God forbid) look at what Democrats and Soetoro have empowered the IRS to do by their new Health Care law. The IRS’ new duties include (see article)
• audits to determine who has the insurance "as required by law"
• collecting penalties from Americans who don't
• punishing Companies that don't sponsor health plans
• new regulation to monitor small business reporting, i.e. the value of goods they buy from a single vendor that total more than $600 annually—including office supplies and the like.
Republicans argued during the health debate that the IRS would have to hire hundreds of new agents and staff to enforce ObamaCare. They were brushed off by Democrats and the press corps—WSJ Opinion Journal
With more government intrusion, expansion, regulation, taxation and debt Americans are feeling more like citizens of Oceania of George Orwell’s 1984 rather than like free Americans.
Democrats toasted Health Care as a victory for the Democrat Party and president Soetoro but not for the American people. Did they know and understand that they were unleashing the IRS with new oppressive powers on the citizens of the United States of America?
If they did this is unconscionable. if they didn’t even read the bill then this is one of the most negligent derelictions of duties in the history of the United States Congress. Either way the Liberal Progressive Socialist dream that president Soetoro and Democrats have unleashed on American is a greater mess than the over 56million gallons of oil that has spilled in the Gulf of Mexico since April 20, 2010.
Like the coastal cleanup of all that oily mess it will take years and years to clean up the mess that Democrats have wrought on the economy and society of this country.
No. That's not true, George. The -- for us to say that you've got to take a responsibility to get health insurance is absolutely not a tax increase. –president Barry Hussein Obama
Congressman Joe Wilson (R-S.C.) had it right all along. This president is a liar! He and his Democrat Party manipulate words and meaning like a Crack-ho manipulates her mamma for money to buy milk for her baby.
“Mamma I need twenty dollars, I promise I’m going to buy milk for the baby.” Mamma knows that her daughter the Crack-ho is probably lying, yet there’s that outside chance that she might be telling the truth this time. Out of hundreds of disappointments, this may be the time. But alas, Social Services called. They have the baby again and the crack-ho mama is nowhere to be found.
President Soetoro stated emphatically on nation television with George Stephanopoulos that if his mandated Health Care reform measure was pass by Congress it wouldn’t be a tax increase on the American people. (see article)
The Democrats in Congress knowing passed this legislation to give Soetoro and their Party a victory rather than look out for the best interest of the American people and protect us from this misguided legislation.
Well American people, Social Services just called and they want you to pick up the baby!
That’s right but first, just to remind you somewhat forgetful Americans here’s the White house Crack-ho wasting over two minutes of George Stephanopoulos’ time arguing that health care reform is not a tax increase. (see 2:38min video)
STEPHANOPOULOS: You were against the individual mandate...
OBAMA: Yes.
STEPHANOPOULOS: ...during the campaign. Under this mandate, the government is forcing people to spend money, fining you if you don’t. How is that not a tax?
OBAMA: Well, hold on a second, George. Here -- here's what's happening. You and I are both paying $900, on average -- our families -- in higher premiums because of uncompensated care. Now what I've said is that if you can't afford health insurance, you certainly shouldn't be punished for that. That's just piling on. If, on the other hand, we're giving tax credits, we've set up an exchange, you are now part of a big pool, we've driven down the costs, we've done everything we can and you actually can afford health insurance, but you've just decided, you know what, I want to take my chances. And then you get hit by a bus and you and I have to pay for the emergency room care, that's...
STEPHANOPOULOS: That may be, but it's still a tax increase.
You see Progressives can make up reality out of whole cloth by using language while totally disregarding the traditional language and law. Specifically, they do this by using politically correct language, propaganda or lies, (or as I refer to it their Orwellian Worldview) feed it to a Progressive judge, he or she rules, et voilà a new precedence in law is made out of whole cloth!
No, but -- but, George, you -- you can't just make up that language and decide that that's called a tax increase. –president Barry Hussein Soetoro
No he can't Mr. president, you’re correct, the ability to just make up language and decide meaning by rights is totally patented by Progressive Democrats and you.
This is the thinking, which Elena Kagan represents to the Supreme Court. As well, this thinking is what Progressives hope will influence Chief U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker out in California deliberating whether to strike down the law, which amends California’s Constitution, which defines marriage for the State of California. It is Progressive’s hope that Judge Walker will accomplish the Orwellian feat of changing the meaning of marriage by simply ruling that California’s law is unconstitutional even though it is not. (previous post)
But I digress, earlier this year president Soetoro made his case to the American people that if his health care reform were passed his reforms wouldn’t represent a tax increase on the American people.
Yet currently the Soetoro Justice department is presently in court arguing against more than 20 states and several private organizations that have filed claiming that it is unconstitutional for the federal government to mandate that Americans buy a government-mandated product.
To counter those arguments the Soetoro Justice department is arguing that Americans must comply with the government mandated health care reform because it is a tax!
That’s right you read correctly, health care reform is a tax increase, the Crack-ho left you the baby and is on vacation in Maine. (see article)
When Congress required most Americans to obtain health insurance or pay a penalty, Democrats denied that they were creating a new tax. But in court, the Obama administration and its allies now defend the requirement as an exercise of the government’s “power to lay and collect taxes.”-- ROBERT PEAR
But wait there’s more, not only is the Soetoro unapologetically defending this “tax increase” they are claiming extra Constitutional powers to do so. And just what are extra Constitutional powers? Those, ladies and gentlemen, are illegitimate powers that are not enumerated in the Constitution of the United States of America.
In a brief defending the law, the Justice Department says the requirement for people to carry insurance or pay the penalty is “a valid exercise” of Congress’s power to impose taxes.
Congress can use its taxing power “even for purposes that would exceed its powers under other provisions” of the Constitution, the department said. For more than a century, it added, the Supreme Court has held that Congress can tax activities that it could not reach by using its power to regulate commerce. —Robert Pear
According to the Soetoro administration, Congress can use taxing power even for purposes that would exceed its powers under other provisions of the Constitution.
And it gets even stranger than that! According to reporter Robert Pear, Dan Pfeiffer, the White House communications director, described the tax power as an alternative source of authority.
What!?! You’re not shocked yet?
Well there’s more. Apparently, the law describes such a levy of fines against people as a penalty rather than a tax. However, the Soetoro administration says in one breath the law doesn’t matter, precise form of words they don’t matter either.
And here’s the tricky part, I called it the Elena Kagan approach to law. What the Soetoro administration did it cited “a long line of Supreme Court cases” which according to them grants them constitutionality based on judicial precedence, totally disregarding what the actual Constitution says thereby they supersede the Constitution with judicial precedence (pretty tricky huh?) on the tax or penalty’s “practical operation.” Simply deviously manipulative!
The law describes the levy on the uninsured as a “penalty” rather than a tax. The Justice Department brushes aside the distinction, saying “the statutory label” does not matter. The constitutionality of a tax law depends on “its practical operation,” not the precise form of words used to describe it, the department says, citing a long line of Supreme Court cases.
Moreover, the department says the penalty is a tax because it will raise substantial revenue: $4 billion a year by 2017, according to the Congressional Budget Office. —Robert Pear
And what is its practical operation? Well according to the Soetoro administration, this “penalty” will raise $4 billion, a year by 2017, therefore it is a tax!
So the president and his administration have effectively managed to avoid calling fines under mandated government health care penalties but in order to argue their constitutional validity in court Soetoro’s Justice department are calling the penalties, taxes!
George, the fact that you looked up Merriam's Dictionary, the definition of tax increase, indicates to me that you're stretching a little bit right now. Otherwise, you wouldn't have gone to the dictionary to check on the definition. —president Barry Hussein Soetoro
Imagine that, mandated Obamacare is both penalties and taxes simultaneously or not, depending on which meaning the president chooses to use. It’s no wonder the president didn’t want George Stephanopoulos to use the dictionary.
In the president’s progressive worldview, all things are defined as he wishes. In his mind, only he is the arbiter of meaning, independent sources like dictionaries notwithstanding. That my Dear Readers, is the essence of Creating Orwellian Worldview by Machiavellianism!
No administration has been tougher on enforcement—David Axelrod, White house senior adviser
Like the brother who constantly over compensates for his multiple failures in life by telling wild exaggerated stories of accomplishments.
Accomplishments that, he will be quick to tell you, through no fault of his own somehow got away. David Axelrod White house senior adviser went on the Sunday circuit with talking points about the Barry Hussein Soetoro immigration policies that amounted to over compensated wild and exaggerated stories that one might hear from a loser brother.
I can always tell when someone received coaching to carry the Party line. Eyes roll back to the back of their heads until you see the whites. Then they begin to regurgitate nonsensical echo chamber gibberish that we’ve all heard ad infinitum from their colleagues and compatriots.
Such was the case with Axelrod. Every word he spoke to Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday was carefully crafted propaganda straight from the president’s own teleprompter.
Axelrod’s gestures where practiced and fake and the lies that he told were obvious to even the most amateurish politico. (see 3:21min video)
When making the case for the Obama administration’s legal challenge to Arizona’s new law against illegal immigration, White House senior adviser David Axelrod said “no administration has been tougher” on immigration enforcement than the Obama administration.—Breitbart TV
Even when faced with the corrective truth as Chris Wallace attempted to do partisans like Axelrod with not relent from their scripted sheet of lies.
The facts are this present administration has not done more than any other administration in the history of the United States to combat the problem of Illegal aliens. Moreover, had they thought the American people weren’t so ignorant they would not keep repeating the same bald face lie in attempts to disparage Arizona.
Which by the way, is the only state in the Union that is presently attempting to defend the constitution and defend America!
What other administration did more than this administration to stem the tide of illegal aliens? I wrote about it 2 years ago. Please see below.
Everything’s Free in America!
Or so it would seem by the lack of enforcement of United States borders. I’ve heard a lot of discussion about it and I’ve engaged in some very spirited debate regarding what if anything can be done about the 11million to 20million illegals that are presently in the United States of America.
The best situation that I’ve come across is one that was already implemented in the 1950s. The 1950s, you ask, did we have an illegal alien problem way back then?
Yes, we did, however, we had a President who had the will and took the initiative to do something about illegals and protect this country’s integrity.
President Dwight D. Eisenhower solved the problem of illegal aliens and virtually stopped illegal immigration into the United States and the results of these efforts were felt for over 10 years in this country.
President Eisenhower cut off this illegal traffic. He did it quickly and decisively with only 1,075 United States Border Patrol agents - less than one-tenth of today's force. The operation is still highly praised among veterans of the Border Patrol.
How did President Eisenhower virtually stop the flow of illegal immigration into this country?
President Eisenhower hired the right people, he resisted powerful political and corporate interests, and he enforced the law.
On June 17, 1954, what was called "Operation Wetback" began. Because political resistance was lower in California and Arizona, the roundup of aliens began there. Some 750 agents swept northward through agricultural areas with a goal of 1,000 apprehensions a day. By the end of July, over 50,000 aliens were caught in the two states. Another 488,000, fearing arrest, had fled the country.
By mid-July, the crackdown extended northward into Utah, Nevada, and Idaho and eastward to Texas.
By September, 80,000 had been taken into custody in Texas, and an estimated 500,000 to 700,000 illegals had left the Lone Star State voluntarily.
Unlike today, Mexicans caught in the roundup were not simply released at the border, where they could easily reenter the US. To discourage their return, Swing arranged for buses and trains to take many aliens deep within Mexico before being set free.
Tens of thousands more were put aboard two hired ships, the Emancipation and the Mercurio. The ships ferried the aliens from Port Isabel, Texas, to Vera Cruz, Mexico, more than 500 miles south.
The sea voyage was "a rough trip, and they did not like it," says Don Coppock, who worked his way up from Border Patrolman in 1941 to eventually head the Border Patrol from 1960 to 1973.
It’s really not that hard! It’s already been done. The question is does America have the political will to self correct or will political, special and corporate interest continue to convince citizens that nothing can be done?
President Eisenhower already solved this problem; the only problem, which remains, is how we wrest control of our country back from the political, special and corporate interests that are vehemently fighting to keep the illegal status quo entrenched in this country for profit and for political advantage. (previously posted)
To be sure the Soetoro administration has not done more to protect American from an invasion of illegal aliens than any other administration. Nor is this administration doing the very minimal to protect this country now.
In fact this administration is aiding and abetting illegal entry while attempting to give the appearance that they are the greatest American defenders ever.
They are not!
And David Axelrod is the over compensating, teleprompter, talking points, Party line partisan brother who tells lies and the rest of the family nods their heads knowing that what he says can’t be believed.
