Every Day is Christmas with Obama Claus

“We’re not going to be able to explain this away in one day…Small things beat big things yesterday. Conservatism, in my humble opinion, did not lose last night. It’s just very difficult to beat Santa Claus. It is practically impossible to beat Santa Claus. People are not going to vote against Santa Claus, especially if the alternative is being your own Santa Claus. Now, everyone is jumping on Romney’s chain today, getting in his chili. Look, he might not have been the optimal candidate, but he’s a fine man. He would have been great for this country…I went to bed last night thinking we’d lost the country. I don’t know how else you look at this.” 
 ~ Rush Limbaugh

Voter Identification Laws Are Suppressive...Says The Liberals

Oh, now THIS is interesting. Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz got into an altercation with a police officer and city mayor when she was respectfully asked not to block traffic at a FL polling location.  Townhall’s Katie Pavlich quotes: “Can we say she was suppressing voters by keeping them away from the parking lot?”   This quote is made as a sort of mockery of the chairwoman’s ideals.  Wasserman claims Republican governors and legislatures are tenaciously pressing for the enactment of voter-identification laws to suppress Democratic voter turnout in the 2012 election.  Many Democrats believe that asking for a photo ID is just too much of a burden to put on voters, especially minorities (Ritz, 2012).

Hmmm, guess if a vast number of Obama voters weren't illegals, this wouldn't be an issue, now, would it?

“State legislatures are attempting to impose voting restrictions that are the modern-day equivalent of poll taxes and literacy tests,” the Florida congresswoman said on the House floor. “We cannot allow state legislatures to drag our nation backward in what is nothing more than a political quest to protect their governing majority’s interests (Kasperowicz, 2011).”

I find it amusing that Democrats take issue with a photo-ID requirement to vote. A photo ID (Driver’s License) is required to drive a vehicle, purchase cigarettes and alcohol, apply for unemployment, board a commercial aircraft, open a bank account, write or cash a check, use a credit and/or debit card, fill out an application for employment….. Yet, asking for a photo ID is "suppression" when it applies to voting?

Furthermore, obtaining an identification card is not costly or difficult – that is, if you are legal.  According to Hans A. von Spakovsky, American attorney and a former member of the Federal Election Commission, every state that has implemented a voter-ID law has also made free IDs available to voters who don’t have them.  In regards to voter-ID laws negatively affecting minorities, Spakovsky states that the actual turnout of Democratic and minority voters went up, not down, in Georgia and Indiana after their voter-ID laws went into effect, and those increases were larger than in many states without voter-ID laws.  Additionally, the Supreme Court has upheld and supported voter ID laws in several states including Indiana and Tennessee, stating that they ARE constitutional (von Spakovsky, 2012).

Requiring voters to prove who they are is an entirely reasonable proposition. One of my largest concerns is illegals who go to the polls to vote.  Also of concern is voter fraud – specifically those who vote more than once or who vote in the place of deceased people.  What I don’t understand is why showing an ID is such an issue. As mentioned above, having an ID is a nearly essential part of day-to-day life and activities. If a person is so adamant about their right to vote, they would take any measure possible to ensure they have an identification card. It’s that simple. There are four years between elections – that is plenty of time to acquire an ID if you do not have one.

I’m left scratching my head on this one……

Maybe There IS Hope For Liberals.

Did you know that several modern champions of Conservatism were
formal Liberals? Thankfully, they were enlightened. They woke up. They got a
taste of the truth and it liberated them from their liberalist shackles. 
Liberals - this shows there IS hope for you. You CAN follow a
different course.

Ronald Regan - "I spent most of my life as a Democrat. I recently saw
fit to follow another course....Somehwere, a perversion has taken
place. Our natural, unalienable rights are now considered to be a
dispensation of governent and freedom has never been so fragile, so
close to slipping from our grasp as it is at this moment.....In this
present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem.
Government IS the problem."

Thomas Sowell - An American economist, social theorist, political
philosopher, and author. National Humanities Medal recipient. Sowell
has stated that he was a Marxist “during the decade of my 20s." After
opening his eyes, Sowell has become a conservative and even compared
President Barack Obama's actions to Adolf Hitler's in a June 2010
editorial for Investor's Business Daily titled "Is U.S. Now On
Slippery Slope To Tyranny?"  Sowell: “Liberalism is totalitarianism
with a human face.”

Milton Friedman - an American economist, statistician, and author.He
was a recipient of the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences.
Sought a revival of interest in classical liberalism in the early
20th century. “If you put the federal government in charge of the
Sahara Desert, in 5 years there’d be a shortage of sand.”

David Horowitz - Between 1956 and 1975, Horowitz was an outspoken
adherent of the New Left before rejecting Leftism completely. He was
raised by parents who were members of the Communist Party USA.  Upon
becoming a staunch Conservative, he states: "For myself, my family
tradition of socialist dreams is over. Socialism is no longer a dream
of a revolutionary future. It is only a nightmare of the past. But
for you, the nightmare is not a dream. It is a reality that is still
happening." "What the left says sounds very good but, in practice, it
works out very badly."    "It is time for Americans who love this
country to stand up in her defense."

David Mamet - Former Liberal, now a Pulitzer Prize winner. What
prompted Mamet's switch to conservatism? "And the more I looked, the
more I saw that the culture was being dismantled in the service of
good ideas and that we had seen such behavior before and great
success among the Nazis and among the communists.”  From the cover of
his book, "The struggle of the Left to rationalize its positions is
an intolerable Sisyphean burden. I speak as a reformed Liberal."

Andrew Breitbart - On being a formal liberal turned conservative: "At
the end of the day, I can look at myself in the mirror, and I sleep
very well at night."  While in Louisiana, still a Democratic Liberal,
Breitbart had less a change of heart than a rather visceral change of
mind. Exposed to high crime and poverty levels in New Orleans,
Breitbart soon began to express disgust with the Great Society trash
can.

Obama: The 'Hope' Myth

Everything is a laughing matter to you, isn’t it Mr. Moonbat?  Part of Obama’s “Hope” campaign was the promise of jobs and stimulating a losing economy. Recently, I have, to my revulsion, observed Liberals preach that their beloved Obama has created jobs and improved the economy. But that’s the thing with Liberals – they believe everything they are told. Renowned dictators exploit people such as Liberals: The effective dictator fully recognizes the power of the masses and knows how to influence these poor souls by constructing a convincing ideology that allows them to maintain power.

A real jobs program is inconsistent to Obama’s core values and would only isolate his cult followers. The unsatisfactory truth is that solutions cannot be offered by Obama – The only thing we will receive from him is more failed policy. Obama desperately tried once more in September of 2011, to tinker with job creation with his American Job Act by promising to put Americans back to work without adding to the deficit. Enraged critics deemed this another Stimulus Plan and put it to rest.

Mitt Romeney: "The president's policies have clearly not been successful in reigniting this economy and putting people back to work and opening up manufacturing plants across the country," Romney said. "It doesn't have to be this way. The president doesn't have a plan, hasn't proposed any new ideas to get the economy going, just the same old ideas of the past that have failed."

Those who have read my previous posts know my tendencies towards referring to Obama as an underground Socialist.  Many of Obama's policies and intents have paralells with Hitler.  Consider this quote by the former dictator:

"We are socialists, we are enemies of today's capitalistic economic system for the exploitation of the economically weak, with its unfair salaries, with its unseemly evaluation of a human being according to wealth and property instead of responsibility and performance, and we are all determined to destroy this system under all conditions." --Adolf Hitler

Obama's "distribution of wealth" philosophies prevent him from being able to implement a real jobs program. Past dictators such as Hitler took advantage of a country that had been inundated by enourmous debt and low morale.  Hitler's passionate "for the people" speeches caught on like wildfire in the masses, much like Obama's "Hope" tactics.

Extracted from The Blaze:

Finally, Obama was asked to address his administration’s decision to give stimulus funds to Abound Solar, a Colorado company with ties to one of the president’s billionaire fundraisers. The company has since gone out of business and is now under criminal investigation, Clark (Kyle Clark is a reporter with 9News) reports.

After laughing, Obama said: “Well, Kyle, I think that if you look at our record that these loans that are given out by the Department of Energy for clean energy have created jobs all across the country and only about four percent of these loans were going to some very cutting-edge industries that are going to allow us to figure out how to produce energy in a clean, renewable way in the future and create jobs in Colorado and all around the country.”

According to a study conducted by the Brookings institute, green energy jobs only account for 2.2 percent of the jobs across the nation.  Why, then, sink $35.2 BILLION of stimulus money into green energy companies under the pretense of creating more jobs?  Furthermore, of all the stimulus money dumped into these companies, WHY was only 4% given to promising industries? Why not 100%?  

A silicone valley company, SolFocus, was another awardee of the stimulus, also with hopes of creating jobs. However, SolFocus’ solar panels are assembled in China – not the US - and its San Jose headquarters employs a meager 90 people. In 2008, candidate Obama promised "I will stop giving tax breaks to companies that ship jobs overseas, and I will start giving them to companies that create good jobs right here in America." He may have attempted to end the tax breaks for companies who ship jobs overseas, but he didn’t stop giving them money as evidenced by SolFocus.

Extracted from US News:

Second, Obama promised the stimulus would not only have a large impact but also an immediate impact. Said the president-elect, "I'm confident ... our 21st century investments will create jobs immediately," adding, "We've got shovel-ready projects all across the country."

Those jobs never materialized, and it was not for lack of workers—or shovels. As President Obama remarked in June 2011, "Shovel-ready was not as shovel-ready as we expected." He chuckled through the mea culpa, but it's no laughing matter. Obama failed to deliver—and at great cost to taxpayers.

Extracted from THE AMERICAN RECOVERY AND REINVESTMENT ACT – February 17, 2009 

And it's a plan that rewards responsibility, lifting two million Americans from poverty by ensuring that anyone who works hard does not have to raise a child below the poverty line.  So as a whole, this plan will help poor and working Americans pull themselves into the middle class in a way we haven't seen in nearly 50 years.

However, since Obama took his throne, US Census data shows us that a staggering 6.3 million Americans have fallen into poverty.

The great folks over at Political Math created this rather enlightening chart.  Granted, Obama came into an economy that was already downtrodden, but his "HOPE" campaign has been a massive failure.  He is still preaching the same nonsense, and his cult believes it despite the facts that state otherwise.

Fort Hood Massacre: Obama a Coward Who Panders To Islamic Extremists

Obama proves again that he is a coward.  Earlier this week, the Pentagon announced that it would not reclassify the Fort Hood shootings from “workplace violence” to a terrorist attack. To those who suffered that atrocious day in 2009, this was not mere workplace violence.  Thirteen were killed, 29 were injured.  A Defense Secretary spokesman stated that labeling the act as a terrorist act would bias the case against Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan.  It is no secret that Hasan was the shooter, so how can this case be biased?  I believe the real issue here is that Obama and his cronies are too spineless to make a judgment that would offend the terrorist community.

There is direct evidence of email chains between Hasan and al Qaeda leader Anwar al-Awlaki.  If they cannot label Hasan a terrorist, then how is the Pentagon  able to label and prosecute any other acts of terrorism?  Jeffrey F. Addicott, the director for Center for Terrorism Law at St. Mary’s University School of Law in San Antonio, believes this is a feel-good attempt by Obama for pre-election purposes. Addicot states that acknowledging Maj. Hasan’s alleged shooting spree as a major terrorism attack on the homeland “destroys the administration’s narrative that al Qaeda is winding down” and there is a diminishing threat of a terrorist attack occurring on U.S. soil.

Even more infuriating is that by not classifying this case as an act of terrorism, service-member victims are not eligible for Purple Heart medals or access to services reserved for soldiers wounded in Iraq or Afghanistan.

See these faces?  According to Obama administration, they are mere victims of workplace violence.

Below is Staff Sgt. Shawn Manning who was shot six times that day, said his injuries prevented him from continuing to serve. But he won't receive the same benefits as those severely wounded on the battlefield because an Army medical evaluation board didn't deem his injuries to be combat-related, he said.

So... Once again, our great president panders to Islamic Extremists.

‘The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam’ ~Barack Obama

Obama's administration can't even follow it's own U.S. Code:
18 USC § 2332b - Acts of terrorism transcending national boundaries

(1) Offenses.— Whoever, involving conduct transcending national boundaries and in a circumstance described in subsection
(A) kills, kidnaps, maims, commits an assault resulting in serious bodily injury, or assaults with a dangerous weapon any person within the United States

18 USC § 2331 - Definitions

(5) the term “domestic terrorism” means activities that—
(A) involve acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any State;
(B) appear to be intended—
(i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population;
(ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or
(iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping; and



Bow To Nobody

I know the president's bow to Saudi King Abdulla is an old subject but I recently came across this video.  This video sends a VERY powerful message. A handful of former U.S. military members (namely Special Ops forces) have formed a PAC called “Special Operations of America,” which has developed a controversial video criticizing the president called “Bow to Nobody.” This video speaks VOLUMES.

Obama’s bow-at-the-waist was particularly awkward since among the dozens of world leaders, handshakes were the common protocol, but there appeared to be no other bowing in the room other than from the US president. According to Islam when one bows down to a Muslim leader it is a sign of subservience.  Thus, whether President Obama intended it or not, he demonstrated that the US and the Western world are acquiescent to Islam:  Until Obama, no US President in history has bowed down to a Muslim leader.  President Obama has not bowed to any other royal except for Saudi King Abdullah – This does nothing to help his reputation as a Muslim sympathizer. In his grotesque pursuit of likeability, Obama has overlooked that the leader of the free world also must be respected.

8 Reasons Why The Great Depression Is The Best Case Scenario

This is probably one of the best articles I have seen concerning prepping and what is to come.  It is pragmatic, thought provoking and even pulls at the heart strings a bit.

8 Reasons Why The Great Depression Is The Best Case Scenario
by Silver Shield

We are on the verge a collapse far greater than the Great Depression and we are far less capable of taking car of ourselves. Our way of life is dangerously dependent upon the ability for us to create unlimited amount of debt and the willingness of others to buy that debt.  This way of life has a mathematically inevitable end and things that cannot go on forever, won’t.
Let us look a 8 reasons why the Great Depression is the best case scenario and also look at how difficult the Depression was for people who were far more prepared to deal with a harsh world.

1. Back during the Depression most of America could feed themselves with farming, now we only know corporate frankenfood.
2. Back then people only knew of real wealth, now we think the digits in our brokerage account in wealth.
3. Back then people had a strong family on community support systems, now we live little lives of narcissism.
4. Back then people had a strong spiritual strength, now we have chemically induced denial.
5. Back then people were of fit body and strong mind, now we are obese and willfully ignorant.
6. Back then people had a classical education to help them figure things out, now we wait for answers.
7. Back then people had a real economy, now we have a consumer/debt economy.
8. Back then people did physical activity for fun, now we have entertainment that turns us in to mental and physical mush.

I would like you to take a few seconds to look at the faces of shame in these photos from the Great Depression. Look at the face of these people and ask yourself, do you think that if given the chance to do something different than the path they chose before the depression?
Do you think that these people were aware and prepared for a collapse?
Did they have the mental or physical assets in place to deal with a new paradigm?
What makes you think that you are better than these Americans?

If you think it is hard to hear your child cry when they don’t get their way, wait until they cannot get food.



If you think it is hard to get a job in this economy, wait until there is no economy.

This car is this entire family’s wealth.  The average American right now is worth less than an average Bangladeshi peasant.  The peasant does not have trillions of dollar of debt tied around their necks.

Physical poverty is one thing… Mental poverty is another.  Everything you know probably is dependent upon this paradigm.  What real value do you have in a post dollar collapse environment?

We can survive anything together, but even the average American family has been divided and conquered.

How many mothers are going to sit in regret that they did not prepare themselves or their children for a collapse?  How many wished that they not wasted their time energy and money chasing after things that mean nothing?  How important is fashion, soap operas, or reality TV?

How many fathers will regret that they did not spend more time with their children?  How many men sacrificed time with those that mattered chasing after and illusion that failed them the moment they reached for it?  McMansions and Ponzi retirement are the real dream, while we now dream about the real relationships and opportunities gone.

Emotionally tough people can make it through.  They can adapt and move on.  Emotionally weak people break, because they have never been challenged.

The very real world coming takes a lot of real effort and patience to succeed and that is something we are in very short supply of as a society.

Tent cities are here and the crippling poverty is just starting as the Elite start the final theft.

The most famous picture of the Depression was of Florence Owens Thompson taken by Dorothea Lange.  The photographers notes from the 10 minute photo shoot were a follows…

“Seven hungry children. Father is native Californian. Destitute in pea pickers’ camp … because of failure of the early pea crop. These people had just sold their tires to buy food. I did not ask her name or her history. She told me her age, that she was 32. She said that they had been living on frozen vegetables from the surrounding fields and birds that the children killed. She had just sold the tires from her car to buy food.“

All of those things that we worked so hard for become worthless when the paradigm collapses.  The worst part is most of the stuff Americans buy are cheap stuff from China that will either break or have no real value in the next paradigm.

Those that have been breed to thrive in a collectivist paradigm, to do as they are told and not ask questions, will be left destitute when the paradigm collapses.  Only those that use the power of the Trivium will be able to adapt to a new reality.

Men will be split from their families as they seek opportunities far and wide.

Women will have to endure not only their world falling apart but trying desperately to shield their children from the harsh new reality.
